  1. Hi is there a you tube video on this as I am struggling to pick up stitches to do the bag bottom - also I cannot find the needle length stated in the directions. which needle do you put the stitches on when picking them back up again -also do you only knit 1 row when picking each set of stitches up - thanks for your advice on this Regards Sandra

    1. For your first question, you would pick them up and knit onto the right hand needle. As for your second question, you would pick them all up on the same row and knit them as you go.
