Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much, Rose. We appreciate that!

Thank you so much for watching. My apologies for not checking on comments sooner!

Thank you so much, Lesley. We appreciate your feedback.

Excellent! I wish you lots of success. Thank you for watching.

Hi there

Thank you, Carolyn. I'm glad you found it, too.

Fantastic idea to do the edging in one colour.

Thank you so much for your comment! We'd love to see a picture of your finished afghan. You can find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter or send a photo to cynthia@rivercityyarns.com and I'll post it for you. Yay!

Of course I will when finished!😀 I knit the Spice colourway for the 2016 KAL & 9 shades of PWW for the 2014 Martin Storey KAL

Glad it was helpful!

That's fabulous. I hope you like this method.

Thank you, Becca. Glad you could join us. Hope you get a chance to try it yourself very soon.

Thank you, Barbara! I don’t remember what size hook we used, but generally it would be the same size hook as we used for the squares (same mm size of the squares were knitted) or maybe one size smaller.

Thank you, Julie, for watching and commenting. We appreciate it very much.

Thank you for watching. Let us know how your project worked out!

We're so glad you found the video helpful!

Did you try it, Kiarra? What do you think?

Yay!

Usually your yarn will come with some recommendations on the ball band. If the recommendations are for knitting needles sizes, I generally use the same size hook. But the best way to tell is to crochet a swatch and see what kind of fabric you're getting. Then you can use a larger or smaller hook depending on what kind of project/fabric you'd like to make.

@@CynthiaHyslop Kia ora Cynthia..thank you so much for getting back to me all the way in New Zealand. Hope you are all keeping safe and well. My blanket squares edges/ tops and bottom rows not as neat as yours so I am still working out whether the crochet or the slip seam is a better way. I will let you know how I get on xxx

Hi Cindy, I'll see if I can fix that... I now leave the music off and use a microphone. Our later videos are better but I appreciate your comments and I'll see if we can't redo this one soon.

Thank you, Joyce. Come again!

Oops, sorry Kiarra, I didn't see your comment earlier. If they're different sizes, it becomes tricky to sew them together without puckering on one side. If you're making a blanket, as we were doing here, I'd suggest putting a border around the smaller square to make it the same size before sewing them together.

Hi Carmen, sorry about the delay in posting a reply. We did post a link to the pattern further down in the comment section but I should have put it here also (a long time ago!) The pattern is by Rowan: Martin Storey Pure Wool Superwash Worsted Knit Along 2016: www.knitrowan.com/designs-and-patterns/online-collections/martin-storey-pure-wool-superwash-worsted-knit-along-2016. Rowan produced a lot of videos to support this project and you can find them here: www.knitrowan.com/designs-and-patterns/patterns/martin-storey-kal-2016-final-making-up

CM K Hello and thank you! The blanket is the first Martin Storey KAL project. If you visit knitrowan.com and search for Martin or look for his KALs, you should find it. You’ll need to join the Rowan page and the pattern is free for members.

Okay. You could try blocking the squares to try and get them to conform to a similar size. Or, you could try knitting/crocheting a border around them to make the smaller ones bigger. You can sew them together in a kind of "jigsaw" look but you'd likely need to knit/crochet some "filler" pieces. I'd recommend blocking first.

Hi Aileen, it is a Rowan pattern and you can definitely find it. Scroll down just a little to read the comment under Carolyn Wright. You'll find a link to the pattern and Rowan has great video support as well. Happy knitting!

Hi Cathy, so sorry about the delay in replying. It's usually not a problem in the beginning if you leave a long enough tail. About 6 inches of tail should be good. If it's being troublesome, you can weave in the tail first and then use it, anchored, to begin the slip stitches.

@@CynthiaHyslop Thank you

Hi Maggie.I think this method works brilliantly for all kinds of seaming, including buttonbands. It's such a neat technique that you can use it on the right side or the wrong side. But the best answer of course, is to tell you to just try it. If you don't like it it's very easy to remove it and try again. We'd love to see a picture of your finished garment.

I'm sure I can... I will try to fix it this week. Thank you for letting me know.

I am having the same problem x

Thank you for your patience! I've uploaded a "version 2" with the music turned down. I'll delete this earlier version in a few days.

Oh no! Is it just a certain section of the video? It seems to work okay for me... but perhaps I can adjust the sound in a particular section? Do you know about closed captioning? It's a very cool feature that KZfaq supports as well.

Hi Aziz, did you have a question for us?

Sorry Stephanie. We’ll put this one on our re-do list.

Hmmm... that's interesting! We'll try to work on one like that. (We'll have to see if we can get Barb to work on a project with squares of different sizes!) You must be in the middle of something like this? Are they different widths as well as lengths?

I'm assembling a 12-square knitted afghan, and there is a lot of variation in stitch count on the squares. I am using an i-cord join which requires picking up stitches before knitting the join. I am compensating for the variation by skipping stitches along the longer edges. The locking stitch markers help immensely - I put them in evenly spaced so it is not too hard to see where to skip. This would work the same on a crocheted join. Feel free to share this suggestion if you want.
