Quite clever. Been knitting almost 60 years and still finding new things to learn.

I think it's amazing that there is almost always something new to learn.

This technique is brilliant! Thank you. Seaming that edge will be so much easier and will look neater and less bulky.

Thank you so much. I have never done a project carrying the yarn and I’m starting one soon and didn’t know what to do.❤

Very helpful. Today I’ve been altering a shawl pattern and, on my trial-run piece with scrap yarn, I decided to add a few color changes. It looks just awful. The fact that I’ve never fully mastered carrying yarn up the side didn’t help. So glad I found your video.

@@QuailsKnittingNest I saved your video and watched it several times, fixing it in my mind. I also reviewed Phranko’s video. I am planning to make a multi-color, striped project once I finish what I have on my needles, and am looking forward to employing this technique. ♥️

Thanks! I was just getting ready to frog a striped shawl b/c I didn't like the way I was carrying the yarn up the side.

@cotecatalan3109 Жыл бұрын

great tip! thanks for sharing :) for how many rows do you think i can get away with carrying the yarn with this technique?

@QuailsKnittingNest Жыл бұрын

You can get away with this for many rows. If you watch Phrancko's video, he uses it to go up 13 garter ridges, which would be 26 rows or so. Since he carries up multiple rows, he alternates between carrying on the second and third stitches.
