Stitch LIbrary

Stitch Library

Left handed knitter's can always use a ready source that will let them find the stitch techniques they need.  While the majority of the current videos are in the Continental style of knitting they are still usable for the English style of knitter.  Please keep checking back to this page.  As more video's are made for the YouTube Channel they will be added here.  To request an instructional video for a stitch you do not see listed feel free to send an e-mail to yarncraftsforlefties@gmail.com.  Below is a list of  how to video's from my YouTube Channel:
