The Spinning Hand has a YouTube channel

Did you know that The Spinning Hand has a YouTube channel?

The first video, published in 2017, is a 30-second demonstration of the backwards loop cast on. I set up the camera to film over my shoulder. The focus goes in and out, and I say all of about three sentences.

The video quality, and my hair color, has evolved over the years.

So far we have 20 knitting tutorials and 12 crochet videos; 8 unboxing videos; and 23 episodes of Coffee with Kari.

We also have a new (in 2024) Learn to Knit in 1 Week series.

Check out the Learn to Knit playlist here.
