@@AftonGroveKnitter This cast on only works for 1x1 or 2x2 rib, so it always requires an even number of stitches. You will need a different cast on method for 45 stitches.
I love this way of knitting in the round. No ladders! The only little thing is the marks it leaves but the way you do it by pulling the loop completely out and then punching the cable. The other thing is that you’re not having to deal with a twisted problem. (Mobius) 😊 I also use four stitches which keeps the ribbing in sequence.
Wow, this method is a game changer in the world of knitting. I never knew you could do intarsia in the round which is really helpful for multiple color ways when making mittens in the round. I already tried it out and it works great. So much for making this video and explaining it so well.
Very helpful. I’m knitting basic eyelets and unfortunately for me, I dropped my stitches and since it was in the area of the eyelet, it was confusing to me as to how to pick up those stitches below that included YO as well as slip knit passover. I was hopping to do what I do when I’ve dropped knit stitches with my trusty crochet hook but ended up unraveling to my lifeline. Ugh, they are not kidding when they say knitting also teaches you to be mindful. Thanks so much for your video.❤
On first View of the result all seemed clear, one row two colors knitted. It was a surprise to use Just one color in one row to make knitting easier and quicker. Thanks for showing.
Oh thanks so much! I always cheat and do that first row with regular needles and then transfer to circular. Of course then the row is off but I hide it. I’m going to follow your tips and try it properly! Wish me luck!!
Another trick I just tried out comes from the method to avoid ladders in magic loop. Where you knit he first stitch normally, put the needle into the second, and give a gentle tug on the working yarn. So many years of my knitting life hating dons, when I could have been doing this 😂 so glad I figured it out
Thank you for this. I have not had a problem with laddering between knit stiches, but recently encountered it with the transition between purl stiches on a sock. So frustrating. No matter how tight I pulled in the transition between needles the laddering persisted. I will definitely try this technique next time!
This looks like such a great technique. I did read that traveling loop should not be used on small circumference knitting like socks and sleeves but in watching your technique it looks like it would work just fine. Am i missing something?
Thanks for the tips! Is there a way to 'fix' this when you're already a bunch into your knitting for previous rows? And what about knitting k1, p1 and you need to start your new needle with a purl stitch?
Great video, thanks. I'm assuming that when you get to the "V" in the heart that you add a grey in the middle, and separate the red into 2 balls???? Otherwise, it's like 2 stranded knitting. Anyhow, I'm also knitting a heart motif on socks, so just trying to figure out how to do that "V". THANKS again.
Pretty much! For fair isle charts, you can work one colour and slip the other colour stitches. And then work the second colour and slip the first colour stitches. It’s more time consuming than doing fair isle the normal way, but it does work. I hope that helps. 👍🏻
Thank you for this. I just started my first "in the round" project and found after about 10cm that it has a twist - so had to pull it all back. Now I know how to check to avoid this again.
I knit loads and want my colourwork to have the extra edge, so this was a really succinct and useful video on this topic. Thank you! ❤I can get back to my project straight away. This video was fairly low down in the recommendation list but really good 😊
I’m afraid I have no expertise with cotton as I always knit with wool. I would think you’d need to split the plies and weave the ends in, in multiple directions to avoid a thick lump.
It depends a bit how it comes out for you. I tend to find it to be not stretchy enough of a top down sock, but if you’re a looser knitter it might be absolutely fine. I think you’d need to try it and see. I hope that helps. 👍🏻
This is brilliant! I’ve been stressed the whole time knitting a scarf that has increases every 6 rows. I’ve tried the tally, I downloaded knit companion, but nothing is for sure due to the fact that it’s very possible i forgot to tally! Thank you so much!
Great tutorial, you answered many of my concerns except one. When I’m using this technique for a knitting hat do I make the duplicate stitches extra loose due to the stretching when they wear it? Let me explain I’m making Christmas knitting hats and scarfs sets and wanted to add snowflakes and other designs but I was worrying what will happen to the duplicate stitch when the hats stretch.. any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much🤗
Just try to match the tension of the main hat fabric. So after a few stitches stretch it as you expect the hat to be stretched in wear. Your stitches don’t have to be extra stretchy - just as stretchy as the main fabric. I hope that helps!
