I have tried a few tubular cast ons and found them all to be not flexible enough for the item I was knitting. I liked the way they looked, but couldn't use them because of their lack of stretch. I would really like to explore tubular cast ons and bind offs. Thanks.
Hi Suzanne! I love your podcasts so much, thank you for doing them to help us become better knitters. I would love to learn how to put a zipper in a knitted sweater! I am not a seamstress in any way, and I do have a sewing machine but I don't use it because I don't know how and I don't want to take any time away from my knitting! :). I don't mind seaming and sewing a zipper in by hand but I have always been afraid to knit a sweater if it requires a zipper but I have several sweaters marked that have zippers that I want to do! Can you help??
Hello Suzanne, great idea with your live stream video's and how wonderful that you will interview 'knitting gems'!!! Good choice. Otherwise it is allways the same people getting all the opportunities and we always see the same persons everywhere online. Thank you for all your experience and ideas! And , by the way, you look nice and young with your new haircut :-) Because of the pandemic and the hairdressers not working I have been considering myself to shave my hair like yours, but I haven't done it yet; Best wishes from Belgium :-)
The "stripes" I was working with was actually alternating skeins adding 1 every third or so of the shawl so that the gradient striping of the yarn would maintain as similar thickness as the rows grew. I ended up bringing the yarn under the needle to the back, and the one below that to the front. Bringing the working yarn from below that and knitting. It created a braid along the edge (can't really see it in the finished shawl) that secured all of the yarn involved... I didn't have to add a 4th skein.
Thanks for your answers. I am always diligent about correcting the enlarged knit before purl issue but still have the enlarged purl before the knit through the back loop issue. It's like the act of knitting through the back loop is pulling the stitch to the left leaving slack before it... The only way I've seen to fix it is to individually adjust the kbl column. It's not ribbing, but a column of P KFB P between lace panels. Is there something I can do to pull the stitch to the right as I'm making it? I will put this in the question thread on ravelry...
Can you explain or point me to resources to use a pattern which calls for an particular weight and change it so that I can use an alternative weight. Hope that makes sense 😊
