Tip for the beginners out there like me: When you’re knitting in the round, a stockinette stitch doesn’t alternate between knitted and pearl rows. You just knit the whole time and because you are always on the right side the pattern is stockinette. Maybe obvious to some but I was seriously struggling until I learned this :)

4:12 PRO TIP: don’t screw on interchangeable needles by holding them at the wood portion of the needle. Over time you will weaken the bond between the wood and metal and they’ll break. Always screw them on while holding onto the metal base only. 😉

when using a long tail cast-on on longer stitch counts, use both ends of the ball, or two strands. tie the ends together closely and then begin the long tail method as normal, both stands live off the ball(s). you will simply cut the extra end off once your stitch count is achieved, no guessing.

Hi! I purchased the pattern and can't wait to make it - I was just wondering did you end up with any extra yarn after using 5 skeins of the WAK Wool for the Medium size? I want to make one for my sister and she has weirdly long arms so I wanted to adjust the pattern but don't want to play too much yarn chicken so I'm debating getting an extra skein or if 5 should be enough to extend the arms an inch or two.

I wanted to share this info with you. The Lykke set I bought from Amazon was a fake. I can't believe that a dupe would be made on a knitting set. The way you can tell is the placement of the Lykke label. Their signature label is placed directly flush with the stitches, also they don't have Lykke engraved on the zipper on the authentic one. Another thing is the needle board that has velcro is supposed to be a perfect rectangle but on the fake the bottom corners are trimmed off. I hope all this makes sense. A big give away is the 24" cord is actually only 15" in length. All of the included cords are not the correct length. I only want to inform you and others because the needles are not handmade or made to last. Thank you for reading.

I unfortunately don’t have anywhere near that sells the LYKKE sets, so I could only resort to Amazon. So, I can’t confirm whether or not the ones on Amazon are fake, but these are still pretty fantastic knitting needles. I’m pretty sure I got all the right cord lengths, all 8 stoppers, etc. I guess since they may not be the real deal, these are a pretty darn good “dupe”, they are made to be basically the same but $40 cheaper. Idk, as long as you have the right size needles for pattern, will it make a huge difference if they aren’t real LYKKE?

@pinkmacprincess 2 жыл бұрын

@@brbrat9 There are some places that will sell Lykke Needles to you through their local online shop. Just do a search for it on the Lykke site. For me I read too many reviews where the needles broke in half after just a few uses. I agree the dupes are almost identical in looks but not in quality. I wanted to save $40 too but not if they're only going to last for a month or two. I made a video to spot the difference if you're interested.

You put your stitches for the left shoulder on another set of needles and then knitted the right side , that would mean to knit the left after, without connecting the 2 sides you’d need to cut? Just checking to make sure I do it right !

Hi! I'm following along with the pattern and the video. I don't have interchangeable needles, so when I needed to change to size 19 (15mm) for the back panel, I purled one row with one size 17 needle and one size 19, but then I looked back at the video and I saw that you knit one row when you changed needles even though the pattern says to start with a purl row. Did I screw up? Will this affect the sweater as a whole?

For the body, you could use straight needles if they come in the size you need to get gauge. For the sleeves, you will need circular needles or double pointed needles to knit it in the round.
