I’ll Knit If I Want To: Episode 30
Показать описание
Welcome to I’ll Knit 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. I know binding off should be loose and love how you mentioned going up a few needle sizes but should I cast on as loosely soon!
2. In relation to steeking: would you typically block the garment before or after cutting through the steek stitches? Does this make a difference to the end product? Is the answer to this question different if you're using different types of yarn (e.g. superwash vs non-superwash wool) Loving your Q&A, learning so much!
3. What’s your favorite bind off for sweaters and cuffs? One that offers that needed stretch but doesn’t curl or flare. Thanks!
4. Have you ever gone back after blocking to make changes to a knit? Example: After blocking and wearing a sweater once, I would like to add more length to the body. Is it possible to do or a terrible idea?
5. I'm am so frustrated with swatching because my swatch rarely matches my garment gauge. I just checked my garment gauge and it's significantly tighter than my swatch 28 stitches/10cm versus 25.5/10cm in my swatch. I always record dry as well as blocked gauge so that I can compare my garment to my swatch.
Bonus Question: Hello! I wondered if you could show us how to wrap up in the Hoarfrost shawl? I don't know if its a little smaller than some other shawls, or perhaps mine just came up a little small. I am having trouble getting it to stay wrapped around me. I am so proud of making it and would love to wear it more! Thanks so much
