Lynn,
Great video. I have a question about ending a row with just 2 stitches instead of 3. Can I add a stitch bu increasing?

Thank you so much! WOW! you explained Trinity stitch so well. I am a new knitter, and could not understand the pattern (K,P,K) all in one stitch. I am a visual person and you have expanded my stitch library!! Thanks

Thanks for the help. The only problem I have is trying to get the three stiches on at the begining. I seem to have the yarn to tight. Is there a way to get around this or am i doing something wrong? YOu have been a great help.

The trick to knitting complicated stitches so you don’t have the yarn too tight is like this: you first don’t wrap your yarn around any fingers to do an automatic knit or purl. Knit like you don’t know what to do with the yarn you are going to knit with and leave it free hanging until you need to use it to work a stitch. This will make it so you have not created tension with the yarn tail you will knit with. Continued:

Second: every stitch should be pulled apart like in the video. You stretch the two needles as far apart as you can forcing them to stretch the loop, making the loops floppy. You cannot set up your stitches like you want to knit smooth and fast. You have to work on each stitch as complete action alone, not prepped so you can quickly go on to the next stitch. It feels very choppy in the action but it works. Continued in next comment
