Awesome video. Much better than reading it (I'm a visual learner) and trying to figure out the posture of the fingers, etc.

This knot is called a slip knot (a square knot is not adjustable). While it was not done incorrectly, it was the hardest way to make a slip knot and hold yarn that I have ever seen. She is correct that there are many ways (not one right way) to hold yarn, but I would not recommend that beginners try this method unless other methods are awkward for them.

I thought this was a poor video to show a beginner. It was awkward and used poor technique (in my opinion).
