Thank you,Nancy,great tutorial.I have to buy the pattern to the beautiful skirt but afraid to come to your store with so much beautiful yarn ,with my addiction,I will buy more.
Love the shawl recommendation for short rows. I found Ysabel…is that the one you showed? There’s always something extra on this podcast and it is so appreciated! Thank you! 🧶
Thanks for another great podcast. I prefer German short rows and usually substitute these for W & T. The thing I don’t know how to do if it is not part of a pattern is to modify the pattern by adding short rows at the back of a neck; I prefer the back neckline to be higher than the front. Love the Ysabel shawl with short rows and your version of the Missoni Accomplished sweater!
How awesome of your yarn store to be so willing to help! My local yarn store will charge a fee to help. I bought yarn from them and got stuck with instructions. So I didn’t like that and never bought from them again. This was when I was got back to knitting, before RU-vid and social media. Needless to say, they went out of business with the pandemic!
I see the difference between the two, I have only done the wrap and turn. The German short row seems to be used more now and I think it’s worth learning. But, I can see it will take some getting use to.
Thanks for the tipps! While watching it I actually knitt a sock with german short rows. I am german speaking and was wondering what german short rows are as we call them differently. Learned something new! :)
