my personal tip is (with any garment you want to design yourself) to always start by knitting _at least one pattern made by another knitter,_ if not multiple, so that you can get a general feel for how that kind of garment is formed through knitting. it will help you understand both your tastes in fit/guage/style but also help you to more clearly understand a garment's structure and can teach you some techniques or tips you may not have known before. you don't have to follow it exactly--- even for my very first tee and sweater projects i diverted from the pattern i was using to make certain changes or do things the way i preferred--- but it's good to have instructions before you as a reference point! even as a very experienced knitter i still learn new things from patterns all the time!

Hello, thanks for the tips! Could you also make a video about how to choose types of yarn to go together? I mean, sometimes you knit with two types of yarn at the same time, how do they affect each other and the fabric? E.g. this yarn makes it more sturdy, this one makes it feel softer, this one is more elastic, this one is just for looks :)

I love the idea of getting inspiration from vintage knitting patterns. I had a couple of older knitting books from a Scotland trip that I saved for years. Other knitters that I showed them to did not understand. They said, "oh, these are so dated!" I tried to explain to them that the style of photography, the model's style of hair, makeup, and accessories were mostly what they were reacting to. They didn't accept it. But I still love vintage patterns. I feel they free me up to put my own twist on it by modifying the fit or changing up the yarn. Any little thing to make it my own.

A really good set of reminders for me. I am coming back to knitting after a 30ish year hiatus. I have most of the equipment I need, although most of my stuff is pre-circular needles (so much faster when you don't have to sew the pieces together!), but I had collected quite a few of the useful tools, like stitch holders in a variety of sizes, that needle size tool, although mine is pre-metric, and a box of old European knitting books in a box somewhere.... Look forward to retirement. I enjoy your podcasts!

Two things - one, I have that row counter, and I love it so much I recently bought a second one 😂 Two, my knitting tip is if you're using interchangeable needles (which I always do), and want to try on your project (or have the recipient try it on), take a needle off and use the cable connector to attach your longest cable to that end instead. Voila, you don't have to move stitches anywhere and it takes like 30 seconds. 😁

I started to knit because of your wedding dress video, and my first project was your easy chunky head!! 🤩 and I finished my first sweater last week , and today I finally bought your knitting book! Thank you for the insight! Still struggeling with edge stitches. And I am afraid of cables ... 🤯
@creativian68 Жыл бұрын
Congratulations on your first sweater. Don't be afraid of cables or any design elements. Buy a cheap ball of yarn and start to knit swatches (small squares) where you practise different things and see if you understand the pattern. This is how I learnt to do colourwork. I knit very tightly and struggled a lot with getting a smooth finish when switching between colours. When I first tested on some swatches I didn't have to unravel and correct errors when I then started on the sweater.
@leangreenkelly Жыл бұрын
I was always afraid of cables...and sweaters. I tackled both last year and made myself a cabled sweater. Go for it! I found cables a lot easier than I feared. They look crazy complicated but I found them to be deceptively simple. Give it a try. You will wish you did so sooner. :)

Greetings! This year, my wife is getting a cape that I've designed, and I'm currently working on it while watching your video. I'm hoping I'll be finished in time, as it is going to be 3.5 feet long and 6 feet wide (there needs to be enough room inside for a whole human being and a large bag). This is my first cape, and there is currently no written pattern for it, just a couple of pages of math (algebra was involved) and a chart for where to put the increases (6 every other row, 2 of which need to be nearly invisible, and the other 4 make fake shoulder seams). Anyhow, I'm at the point of the video where you're discussing collars on top-down pullover sweaters, and I have a tip: measure the forehead. I came to the conclusion last year that if your head doesn't fit, the sweater is useless, so starting with this particular measurement helps immensely. In my experience with hats, I know that in my case, an adult man's hat starts by casting on 96 sts using size 7 needles, so that's where I would begin. Of course, you have to adjust, given the type of yarn, the needle size, and your own knitting style, so be sure to make a test swatch first. Back to the video!

I sewn a lot a zippers and by experience if the zipper is not sitting straight you have either too much fabric for the length of the zipper or too much zipper for the length of fabric. Not easy! I recommend: 1. ironing the zipper flat (the zipper tape might shrink a little bit), 2. wash your garment, 3. measure the opening of the garment and measure the zipper make sure they are the same length, 4. sew the zipper in the garment. Iron the garment. (You can also put a provisional basting stitch or sewing pins to help you.) Good luck! Love you videos! Always beautiful! xx

I totally agree that top down is better; especially if you have fitting issues as I do. I have narrow shoulders and a full bustline. So top down lets me do the fitting first and then I can relax and just relax and enjoy the flat knitting for the rest of the garment. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this with traditional pieced garments. I am still watching this, so maybe there are some suggestions later on in the video. Cheers.

I also prefer to knit seamlessly top down. There are so many ways to knit top down : round yoke, raglan, raglan with saddle shoulder, japanese shoulder and so on. Never boring and don't have to bother will i have enough yarn for full length or both sleeves. Just try on and make 3/4 sleeves or crop jumper, or vest instead of jumper.

Buy kids' colorful jump rings from the craft jewelry section. They are a lot cheaper and hardier than the typical plastic knit markers. For knit patterns with multiple sections with different numbers of repeats, chain several jump rings together to use as row counters. For example, if one section repeats every four rows, then chain four rings together. On the last of the four, add a couple more rings to signify that it is the end. Slip to the next ring down every time you come to it, until you've reached the end, then start over.

I keep a knitting notebook! Anytime I knit, whether I am making a commercial pattern or designing something, I take notes about what I have been doing and jot down any changes I make. That way the next time I sit down to knit I can double check where I am in the pattern, and if I've made any adjustments to a commercial pattern to make them fit me better I can more easily revisit that pattern if I decide to use it a second time.

I love that cable sweater design, but I can't wear it if it doesn't have shortrows in the back. :-( I hate that feeling when it comes that high up in the front - feels like I'm being choked by my sweater. I don't know how to add shortrows in a complex pattern like this... Are there instructions to add shortrows in the pattern?

Easiest way would be make some short rows already in collar. In this case double collar will not work. You will have to make turtleneck or standard collar. Actually in this cable pattern is not so difficult to find places where to w&t in sleeve part, could easily add some 10-12 rows. I would w&turn between cables in purl stitches. Front of raglan is very narrow, that should be straight line of front neck. I would see how many rows is each cable rapport and would calculate where and when to add short rows without disrupting pattern. Short rows doesn't have to be all in cluster straight after collar ribbing; Recently i knitted Junko Okamoto jumper Acorn and there short rows were spread here and there in all yoke. Some in collar, some in shoulder area, some more after colorwork before separating peaces. Hardly ever we can follow 100% instructions of pattern we bought or from magasine or book. Always have to do our mathematics and adapt patterns for our bodies.
