i learned how to bind off in a different way than this vid that i think is a little bit easier, but this video is very excellent and very clear and actually helped me with the knit stitch, couldn't figure it out very well before. thank you!

I've never knitted, and was very intimidated by the idea of learning. But this video has helped tremendously.
Thank you.

thanks so much!
my grandma tried to teach me how to knit when i was a kid, to no avail.
my first endeavour was a square pot holder, by the end it was a triangle.
i want to try this again.
