The corrugated rib is very nice to frame your lovely pieces. It looks very simple and a pretty addition. I think these shorts are a great idea when I just need to learn a technique.
Love the Shorts! (Love all your videos actually…but especially the shorts) It was comprehensive and just long enough for me to get my brain wrapped around the technique. Thanks to both of you!
These are a great idea, thank you! Do you happen to remember which episode you filmed the other way of doing the corrugated rib please? I'm doing a flat swatch and can get any further than the first row 😆
Hi, I suppose I’m late to see this and comment, but your corrugated frame is a lovely idea for so many reasons. What a good thought - to extract the “how to” bits for future shorts. Thank you.
Another good instructive short video. I like the way the corrugated ribbing looks around the blankets and as you say, it stays flat and has a classy look to it. Do you knit that as you knit the blanket or do you add it to the blanket afterward, after the blanket is complete? Such as knit it onto the finished blanket edges? Thank you for these videos. I am so enjoying them.
Hi Sheila I am going to do a cast on video short next. Yes I cast on and then purl a row usually before I start. The horlicks is a jug with straight needles in, Thanks Gary
I find your background intriguing! Every time there's something else hanging there behind you. I hope you are going to tell more on those works of art (I think they're your work).
Hi Inge, yes for the shorts videos Jo thought it would be nice to have my artwork behind me instead of my knitting to make them different from my weekly show. I do plan to do an episode about my painting and drawing soon, thanks for the question , I will probably use it next Q&A. Thanks Gary and Jo
This might be a silly question, but as you knit up the rows beyond the beginning rib section, and have the stripes on the side (for a blanket), is it rib also or is it just plain in the same 2 and 2 pattern?
I wanted to thank you for this video. It was certainly helpful for me to see how you hold the yarn and your little catch phrases, well, they were instructions on yarn movements, but they helped me so much to get a rhythm going with this. So very helpful.
@@theknittingman6443 there will probably be a day when you'll start knitting brioche. Anyway I did it. Last year I knitted a complete sweater in two-coloured brioche.
I absolutely love the look of the corrugated rib. I am knitting a pair of color work socks (toe up) and think I will try this method on the cuffs. But, you’ve got me to wondering ~ would I need to go down a needle size or not. I don’t think so, but if anyone of your commenters have knit this on socks…please let me know! Thanks again for a lovely, instructional video.
Hi Paula, I would think you would want to knit the rib on a smaller needle, but I have never knitted this rib on socks and I haven't knitted socks since the 90s so I am no expert. Hopefully someone will add a useful comment. Thanks Gary
Wie wunderbar! Ich liebe deine Videos, egal ob lang oder kurz.❤❤❤Wie beeindruckend deine Strickstücke sind! Einfach genial! Und ich liebe es wie du sprichst. Mit jedem Video lerne ich besser englisch! Ich freue mich schon auf viele neue Videos von dir! 🎉🎉🎉🤩🤩🤩
I love the short videos as well as the longer ones. I also prefer knitting in the round but it would be good to know the corrugated rib purling as well just in case, for V necks or sleeve borders on a vest for example.
@@theknittingman6443 Thanks for beeing so open to suggestions, and also to answer back on all my comments. I am up to date with your videos now, spent a ovely weeekend knitting in your company.
I thought you were going to be knitting a pair of shorts. I wondered why young people might be picking up your videos all of a sudden and if knitted shorts had suddenly become fashionable. I'm a bit slow today. Knitted shorts wouldn't be very practical as I'm sure they discovered in the olden days.
