I want to say I wish I could give a second thumbs-up today because this isn't the first time I have watched this video and found it so well done and helpful. Could I also add a word about ChiaoGoo Lace or HiyaHiya needles since you mentioned them here? I think a few people have the idea that using pointy tips will increase the chances of splitting the yarn but please know that once I tried them I have never willingly used anything else. They make knitting so much easier. IMHO. Rather than splitting the yarn there is more chance for accuracy in pointing the tip into the stitch. Plus you said something in one of your earlier videos - that has stayed with me so I will mention it here - about maintaining your gauge by knitting on the tips of your needles rather than sticking the full diameter of the right-hand needle into the stitch being worked. The long tapers of these needles give more room to to do this. They more easily allow stitches to be formed at a place where the tips are crossing thus not stretching the stitch below as you work through it. Thanks for that. I think of it a lot! Hopefully you were not affected by the earthquakes the other day but you were in my thoughts.

I've been trying to do a complex cable pattern and it was driving me up the wall having to use a cable needle every 5 seconds... used the 2nd technique and it's so much quicker I don't lose track of where I am in the pattern. Only downside is I have to flip the video to mirror image as I'm left-handed and knit left to right. But you demonstrate everything so clearly I don't have to worry that the verbal instructions don't match I just follow what you do.

Hello, dear, and thanks a lot! I learn to see my knitting with "different eyes" or as if I were "between" the stitches. I wdrk with knit pics made of wood , in Germany they call it knit pro synfonies. Sometimes I sharpen them a bit. I'm handicapped specially with my hands, I've got a vibration the whole day long, allways. So I began to knit, to be the master of my hands allthough this trouble. People didn't believe that could work but it does. I can't use metals for arthritis but "karbonz" from knit Pro work for a while. They aren't as expensive here as others and the others I know aren't as sharp as mine. They never make bamboo as sharp as wood, perhaps it's not possible. Please make those videos further on, I show your helping words and videos my other friends and I thank you so much! Knitting for 3,5 years I now begin with brioch knitting, my socks are patterned and without pattern, it doesn't make sense with all colours or with yarn with different colours in one ball. I love it so much, for a while first time my son wanted me to knit a patterned loop for me. Now I'm proud because he wanted me to do it for him. I thought he never would! Without your help I never were as far as I am now. Be blessed by our holy LORD!!!

I will give it a try on a swatch. I generally swear by using a cable needle so I don't mess up my work, but I'm willing to try this on a swatch. I love the needles of the Hiya Hiya Sharps, but the cable makes be crazy. I do love those Chia Goo red lace needles, though. They are pretty much the only circular needles I ever want to use.

Ah, I see, you are concerned about the yarn being on the front for the right crosses. Try it. Then try it with the yarn in the back. You will find out, that it just won't work with the yarn across the back, it will actually end up wrapping around those two stitches, kind of like a smocking stitch. It is interesting. Easier to see it why you do it than to explain. Happy Knititng. Thanks bunches for watching my videos and commenting.

Suzanne, I like Method Two but when I use it for '1 over 1 right cross' it leaves a purl bump. Is there a trick to it? Because 2 over 2 right cross looks fine. If not, I guess I can use Method One for 1 over 1 right cross and Two for 1 over 1 left cross (if I don't confuse myself). I subscribed today! But can't share your videos because none of my friends knit, silly them.

@susanrodemeir2303 5 жыл бұрын
Wonderful, Suzanne! I thought I’d tried ’1 over 1 rt cross’ every which way, but after your encouragement to try again I realized that the purl bump I kept getting was because of my purling technique: ”lazy Russian way.” It is a more efficient motion and has eliminated any purl-aversion, but results in a backward-mounted stitch that often requires a different approach on the next row. Yea! Problem solved. Which is lucky because I’m about to begin a project with an acre of 1 over 1 honeycomb cables, and the very efficient Method Two will really help. Thank you!!@@SuzanneBryan
@sukubo313 5 жыл бұрын
Another awesome and useful technique, Suzanne. Wish I’d known about this second method before I started the project I just finished, which had traveling cables every 6 stitches. *sigh* I’m not a big fan of the first method, but I’m eager to try the second. Do you find it risky to slip the needle out when working with slippery yarn? It works ok even at really small needle sizes? Does the extra yarn from slipping those first stitches in the second method cause any significant gauge difference or loose stitches? I also love both Hiya Hiya and (even more so) ChiaoGoo. I can’t recommend them enough, either. Like you say, you get way more than you pay for. I was lucky to find them early as a knitter when I stumbled onto Hiya Hiya looking for a cheap interchangeable set. Now I use ChiaoGoo 60-inch circulars (non-IC) and 6-inch DPNs for about 98% of my work. (The other 2% being Karbonz for sizes below 00. I’m apparently a very loose knitter, so I usually have to go down 2+ sizes.)
@SuzanneBryan 5 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is more risky with slippery yarn, but if you lightly pinch the fabric just below the needles before removing one, the stitches will stay put. It is also important to not put any stress of the fabric, like pulling your needles apart between stitches. Have you seen my video on Even Tension? It may help you with your stitch sizes - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdWBh5h3mdLRepc.html. Once I found Hiya Hiya, I got rid of all of my other needles including my signatures, except my Dyakcraft. I love those too.. www.dyakcraft.com/#/. I also love dpns for some things, like double knitting and brioche on narrow projects, and of course i-cord anything. Thank you so much for watching my video and commenting. I hope you have a lovely day. Happy knitting.

Oh, after Hiya Hiya, I found Chiaogoo and now I am a fanatic about those too.
@sukubo313 5 жыл бұрын
I will definitely practice this with both wool and some slippery yarn too. My tension is generally pretty even, but I still struggle with even tension in cables so I'll watch your even tension video for sure. I kept my starter Clover Takumi bamboo needles, but I haven't really used them since I got that first Hiya Hiya set. I generally prefer ChiaoGoo over Hiya Hiya because of their cords. Otherwise, they're about the same for me. The Dyakcraft needles are lovely, especially the black nickel. Have a great day as well! :)
@sukubo313 5 жыл бұрын
So, I thought my tension was even and pretty. And I thought I was knitting pretty close to the tips, too. But after watching your even tension video, I really made it a point to knit right on the tips. Instant 150% improvement in tension and how it looks overall! And between the 2nd method here and more even tension, my cables look closer to 300% better. :-) Thanks, Suzanne. My knitting has really improved a lot since I started watching and following your videos. I’ve taken away more in the last month or so with you than I have from over 2 years watching another knitting channel.
