I’ll Knit If I Want To: Episode 119
Показать описание
Welcome to I’ll Knit (& Spin!) If I want To! I asked y’all to send in some of your questions (from everything from fiber arts, to designing and on!) so I could put together a little video for y’all every Friday doing my best to answer your questions!
In this week’s episode we cover:
1. ALTERNATING SKEINS - is there a technique for alternating skeins when working in reverse stockinette or in garter stitch? When I use the “carrying up” method that works great for stockinette, I end up with visible dimples on the right side unless my gauge is loose. They’re very uniform, so it doesn’t look terrible, but I’d rather have it be invisible. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated! Thanks so much!
2. Hello Andrea, I have knit a blanket in a log cabin pattern. Now I want to add an edge to give it a cleaner look. Is it possible to knit the border in the round? Do I add stitches in the corners on every row? I hope this makes sense? I think what I'm asking is do I increase stitches in the corner on every row?
3. Hi Andrea! A virtual thank you hug for these videos. I’m a newer knitter, and with my husband and I both working and enjoying our three busy kiddos, I greatly appreciate that I can watch these whenever I can find a moment. The information (and connection) have proved invaluable. (My kids joke about me having to have my “time with Andrea” to be happy.) My question: I’m knitting a top down short sleeve sweater in the round. The beginning of the round is in the middle of the back. I worked through the pattern of the yoke, did the raglan increases, and then separated the sleeve stitches from the body. All is good. But then one line completely threw me “The beginning of round is now at the right underarm.” What?!? How did the beginning of the round move? Is it a design choice or is there some logical reason that my brain can’t figure out?
4. I love the Attune shawl and am eager to knit one up during the KAL, and would love to use a set of Spincycle yarns I have put aside for “The Shift”. But…I’m trying to figure out how you used your 3 different Spincycle yarns in your “Sample 2”. It looks like you switched off one yarn to another vs using all one skein and moving to the next. Would love to hear how you used your yarns to get that beautiful effect your obtained! Thank you 🙏🏼
5. Andrea please help…… I have knit the Harlow worsted three times and I cannot get the cast on loose enough! The hat is the perfect size but the cast on is so tight even when I did it with the larger needle size for the pattern. What am I doing wrong?
