Happy FRIDAY!!! Our May Square is here! Written Pattern is also available! Etsy Shop - www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JaydaInStitches

@debraallender7444 7 месяцев назад

I love the way you explained the horseshoe over the horizontal bar! Thats how i think as i move across...splitting the horseshoe! Its a beautiful stitch Jayda. I also love the look of catching both stitches at the end of the forward pass. It makes for such a nice finish on that edge. Tunisian is becoming a favorite of mine. You are such a wonderful, patient, amazing teacher! You seem to anticipate my questions! LOL! I am loving this journey!

This square gave me a problem. I got it all done and could see that I made lots of mistakes so I waited till June and reworked the square. It is working out so much nicer than before. I am on row eighth now and no mistakes. I am learning to be more patient and listening and watching before jumping in to work the stitches. Thank you so much!

The little burrito is back! I kind of missed it but at the same I didn't miss it with the last two months being so nicely flat. I've bought some YarnArt Baby yarn in a beautiful lilac color [560], so perfect for May's square since it's a little thinner than my regular yarn for this blanket. And lilacs are blooming this month so it's a match.

That doggone knit stitch has about driven me crazy! I'll get rows into and find a couple places I missed the right stitch, and this stitch is very unforgiving. I took it out and started over FIVE times. Finally I yanked it all out and went rogue. I wish I could show you a picture of the stitch I just made up.

I had trouble too Claudette I thought it was just me as jayda said it was the easiest stitch , it took me 3 times of frogging and got to the third row before I could see what I was doing , still one small mistake on first row but hey it will drive me mad if I start again , I love the fact you have made up your own stitch 👏👏👏amanda xx

Hi Claudette! I have a feeling you'll likely breeze through the stitches I find difficult 💗😊 * giggle * I know I say it a lot, but I find working the little sampler is so helpful and if I start having issues with a larger piece, I put it down and work a sampler again to see what I might be doing wrong. Usually, I'm either just tired or hungry 🤣 Don't give up, I bet you'll find all of a sudden it makes complete sense!!

When doing the Tunisian Knit Stitch it helps to pull the loop after picking them up and then after all the loops are picked up. I learned that tip from Toni from TLYarn Crafts

@JaydaInStitches 2 года назад

Hi Cammy, pull the loop on the hook or the loop below it? If loops or stitches are a little "sloppy" looking, then yes, we can tug on individual loops to get them to "share" the yarn with their neighbours 😁

@Cammy231 2 месяца назад

@@JaydaInStitchesJayda I just read your question about pulling on the Tunisian Knit Stitch what I do is when I pull on the stitches I pull up with my hook and down on the fabric.

@timothyschuster5767 2 года назад

I love your tutorials. I did a little comparison between the crochet hook tunisian pearl stitch and the actual knitting needle pearl stitch. Pretty much the same except that the crochet stitch was a little heavier and used a little more yarn than the knitting needle. I was surprised at how similar both stitches looked. I wish you could teach us how to make a sleeve in a sweater. I made up my own pattern and am having a little problem in getting the sleeve holes right. But I will keep working on it.

Hi Susan, you can make the last stitch a simple stitch for each block, no problem, but don't add any extra stitches because that will throw off final counts 😊

I'm having so much difficulty with this I'm about to give up. I've pulled this out about 7 times feeling very frustrated😠 two problems I keep loosing a stitch and I don't know where I'm supposed to place my needle to make this stitch 😢 I've watched the video so many times.

@JaydaInStitches 2 года назад

Hi Elaine, definitely put it down and do a little sampler (like the one I show at the beginning). Do it a few times until you feel you understand where to place your hook (between the vertical bars, right through the fabric) and you know you're not missing or adding stitches. I always do a sampler (occasionally a few!) and I find it helps immeasurably 😁

@robinhawk1288 2 года назад

I'm not finding this quick OR easy. I have already ripped it out 4 times. Maybe it is the yarn I'm using...it's soft, splitty, and very fuzzy. I'm still confused by the stitch itself. My swatch came out perfect, but the rows of 38 stitches are not. Nevertheless, we are only two days into it. So if I have not worn out my whole skein of yarn by the end of the month, maybe there will be something that looks like the Tunisian Knit Stitch block.

@JaydaInStitches 2 года назад

Hi Robin! It might be tricky to see the vertical bars that you want to put your hook through if you're using a fuzzy yarn...but then again, it might just require another visit to the sampler and it will "click" (sometimes that's what I do!)

@robinhawk1288 2 года назад

@@JaydaInStitches Here it is June-day before the next installment. I managed to get 11 imperfect rows done on the Tunisian Knit Stitch block. Cannot figure out why some of my stitches are just plain wrong somehow. So now I am at the point where it's FUNCTION over FORM. If I manage to end up with 38 stitches on my hook (instead of 37 or 40) I go with it. right or wrong. I will not be giving away this blanket, but come December I hope it will at least be warm!

@susanfisher8944 2 года назад

I just finished the “square” and it looks right, just like a knit stitch. I have 38 stitches across and 32 rows with the same 5.5 hook I’ve used for the other squares but this one is at least three inches too short - no way will blocking help. I have no idea what went wrong and the only thing I can figure to help is to crochet 9 extra rows. 🥴

@JaydaInStitches 2 года назад

Hi Susan, like I said in the intro, it's going to be short (mine certainly was) and blocking does help a great deal, don't be afraid to stretch it as you block. It's a gradual blocking process, I spent around 15 minutes gently steaming it, stretching a section, steaming it some more, stretching it some more. It takes a while but it works 💗

@KimMesser514 2 года назад

Question...now when I knit, and it curls, I either do a knit purl edge at top and bottom OR put a border on and it stops the curling. So my question is, I noticed on your finishedvone u showed you have a border on it. Does that not make it not roll?

@JaydaInStitches 2 года назад

Hi Kim, we add the same border to each of the squares and some stitches are tighter or more "rolly' than others. The border helps a little, but blocking is necessary for nice flat (or more controllable) fabric. 😊

@rosyposy6164 2 года назад

Thank you for the great tutorial, Jayda (as always). As my tension is always tight, I took on board your suggestion and tried going up to a 6.5 mm hook for this block so far, so good but we will see how it turns out when I get to row 32!). Do I then use a 6.5 mm hook for the border or go back to a 5.5 mm hook as I have used for previous squares?

@JaydaInStitches 2 года назад

Hi Rosy, I would switch back to the original hook for the border, unless you feel it tightens everything up again, in which case you can stick with the larger hook 😊

@KimMesser514 2 года назад

I saw the end. Im notvsure now how I put the border on my knit so it doesn't curl. Very interesting. So I'm trying to figure out with all the Tunisian style stitches. Is the attraction that it makes the fabric thicker? Or am I missing it?

@JaydaInStitches 2 года назад

There's probably a lot of things that one might like about Tunisian. It's a way to get a knit look without knitting, it's fun to use a longer hook (especially if you're a knitter first) and you can add this sort of stitchery to existing knitting and crochet too!

@catlover2534 Год назад

How do you keep all 38 stitches, I lose two or end up with only 37.

@JaydaInStitches Год назад

Hi Allison, it sounds like you're skipping a vertical bar somewhere along your forward pass OR possibly pulling back through 3 loops rather than 2 loops on your reverse pass (that's easy to do, I have to watch what I'm doing when I reverse because I can go too quickly!). Also, don't miss the last vertical bar when you get to the end of the row, it can sometimes blend in with the edge loops. Count up your loops on your hook before you reverse. If you have 38, then go ahead and reverse, yarn over and pull back through the FIRST LOOP ONLY, then yarn over and pull back through 2. If you don't do that first loop only trick right at the beginning of the reverse pass, you'll also be short a stitch by the time you return to end of the row. I hope that helps!
