Crafting should be a fun way to learn and grow, but sometimes we hit a snag and just need a bit of hand-holding to get us over the hurdle. I'll be adding videos that will help you gain new skills and expand your handmade horizons. So check back often, subscribe to my channel, or just sign-up for my newsletter through YumiYarns.com to be notified when I've added uploaded a new tutorial. Be sure to visit YumiYarns.com for knitting & crochet patterns, tutorials & more! Happy Knitting, Shaina ^_^
It's called a Custom Classic Spinning Wheel. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're being made anymore but i have it on my instagram here: instagram.com/reel/C9qTyRNJhoK/?igsh=MW1sN3JhbmtzZnZzeA==

Fantastic! Trying to find a bind off that doesn’t flair, okay the Icelandic bind off! Thank you I will try this!!! It gives a really pretty finished look. 🥰🥳🌻
Doing a new pattern for a Gilwen Granny Square, and couldn't quite understand how to do the Treble Bobble, but this clarified the stitch so easily for me! Thank you so much for this step-by-step guide ☺
I'm so glad it was helpful! If you ever need other tutorials that I don't have available yet just let me know & I'll be happy to put one together for you. Happy crocheting! ^_^
I use this for all kinds of yarn & have never had a problem with it coming undone. If you're using a slippery yarn maybe give yourself a bit longer section of "weaving" it in than you would for a more grippy wool. I use a tail of about 5" (12.5 cm) for superwash, but end up only weaving in about 3" (7.5 cm) as i knit. This is probably more than needed, but i get into a rhythm & stop paying attention. 😅
This Saturday I'm starting a make-with-me series for a dishcloth based on this blanket pattern where i'll have tutorials & step by step instructions for this technique. 😁 Make sure your notifications are turned on so you don't miss it. 💕
I thought i was going to have to do that at first but was able to loosen up my tension enough that i was able to stay knitting continental. I don't mind knitting english style, but my tension gets crazy tight at times so that seemed extra unhelpful. 😂
I like this bind off , will have to try it . the one I just learned is knit first stitch, yard over for knit stitches backwards yarn over or opposite from a normal yarn over . Then knit the next knit . Yes this is for knit two purl two ribbing. Haven’t tried to see if it works for a knit one by one ribbing yet . Then you will have three stitches on the right needle. Then take the yarn over and bring it over the first stitch then the last stitch on the needle. Then you have one stitch on the right needle and for the purl stitch do a normal yarn over then purl your next stitch and then pull the yarn over the first stitch the last stitch. And repeat this for knits and purls . It really gives a great stretch and looks like a roll over to me .
Hi! I appreciate your feedback, but I leave the mistakes in to show viewers that 1.) everyone makes mistakes. 2.) it's not a big deal to make mistakes. 3.) how to easily fix mistakes when/if you make them. I hope this helps clarify my teaching method. Happy knitting! 💕
OP: *starts purling* Me: oh man you’re still doing traditional purls? I just learned this nifty purl that goes SO QUICKLY, I don’t actually dread purling continental anymore!! Op: *starts doing Norwegian Purl* Me: YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH
I actually do switch between my standard purls and Norwegian purls from time yo time to prevent muscle & joint fatigue. I'm most comfortable with demoing using my standard purls, though so that's what I use when I'm filming. The Norwegian purls are a nice change, though. 😉
I followed your link from Ravelry for the Apothecary sweater. I bought the pattern, but not the yarn just yet. So still considering whether the Manchelopi is something I can work with.
I once knitted a long length cardigan for my toddler. It was lace work on the main body and smocked on the bodice area. It took ages to knot but it was so beautiful in a deep salmon pink... probably still my favourite item ive ever knit. I have a grandson now and ive only knit him basic items 🤭 naughty me!
Oh wow! I bet it was gorgeous! It's ok to only make basic items, though, too. You still are spending an awful lot of time making something by hand for your grandson. 💕
I'm knitting my first pair of socks and your videos have been so helpful! After purling the last gsr and begin the first round of the leg (picking up the primary color again) should you slip that first stitch like when working in rows or just knit it right away?
You are so welcome! I'm glad to hear they've been useful for you. ☺️ I always just knit that stitch. You could slip it if you want and it wouldn't be weird, just do whichever you like the look of better.
Unfortunately they're a discontinued set from Knitpicks. There are other colors in this same line still available, though. I'm actually working on building my fixed circulars stash with the Sunstruck colorway of these same needles: shrsl.com/4l4oc
@@YumiYarnsthey just look so smooth and nice!! Thank you for your insight and information! I will definitely check those out as I mostly just have clover circulars and chiaogoo ones.
Knitting while your kids happily play! What else is there that can bring such peace and enjoyment? Hubby cooking in kitchen? Yes but let's not get crazy!
Haha, hubby actually helped a wee little bit in the kitchen last night... he seasoned the chicken and put it in the cook pot since he was in the kitchen and i was not at the moment. 😂
I crochet simple things ,no I can’t crochet a sweater but I wish I could knit it looks hard to do , I like what your knitting the color and texture of the yarn are beautiful.🫡👍✌️👵🏼
Thank you! 😊 Crochet is really fun, too & you can make gorgeous pieces with just simple stitches. My favorite crochet projects are blankets & stuffed animals. I've seen some really cute crochet sweaters, though. Maybe someday for both of us. 😁
Lol, I guess that's why we have different crafting styles. I can do both, but i have plenty of friends who are just one or the other. At least you've found your happy place. 😁
Hi, sorry about that. After offering the pattern for free for a long time, I started charging $2 for the pattern last year to help keep my website and class lessons active for everyone. You can find the pattern here: www.yumiyarns.com/shop?page=8
This video saved me! Thank you. I was stuck at the gusset with my cuff down sock pattern. I usually knit toe up. Very helpful. I will check out more of your tutorials.
The way I do my last stitch is I knit in the beginning of when I started. Then I cut my yarn and snug the two together so it looks like the two are even , the weave in my yarn tail . Hope that helps .
Hello...I am knitting the size medium. As I am getting ready to complete Row 1....I am ending up with 38 stitches instead of 36. I am not sure why I am ending up with 2 extra stitches before moving on to Row 2. 😮 Please help 🙏
It might be that you missed or added increases at some point. If your cables seem to be in the right place according to the pattern just decrease 2 sts in the bottom of the foot to get you back to the correct stitch count.
