If one were following a pattern that didn’t have that contrast stripe at the bottom, would you just knit the dark stitches with the dark yarn or would you skip that step and go right to Kitchener stitch?
@donielleshowvaytheknitting16510 күн бұрын
You’ll need to knit across just one side of the fabric first before using kitchener to graft. So without the contrast for your pattern, you would use the dark yarn on dark and then kitchener with the light color.

Do you only knit into the back leg for that first row or is this continuous through out?
@donielleshowvaytheknitting16512 күн бұрын
You will continue knitting into the back leg. Please see the Slipped Stitch Edge for Double Knitting video to see how to knit across subsequent rows: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZZ2Y71kppfdfGQ.htmlsi=CPL0ItYjJ8I0TAu6

@elizabethseward4791Ай бұрын
Why are you putting the dark stitches on the two needles knitwise through the back loop and then knitting through the back loop? Couldn’t you just do the dark stitches on purlwise just like the lighter and knit normally?

I just started your Tree of Gondor blanket and when I come to the end of the first row should I unravel the slip knot?
@donielleshowvaytheknitting165Ай бұрын
The answer to that question depends on whether you counted the beginning two strands of yarn in your slip knot as part of the count for the cast on. If you included them, then you would not slip it out, but instead use the two strands as part of your next row. If you did not include them in the cast on count, then you will need to slip it out. 😁

working on a patchwork knit blanket kit and almost done with the last set of 6 blocks. the pattern calls for dpn's for the join so i searched and this came up. I hope this technique will work for the short joins used to make long strips and for joining the long strips...

What’s the Congo or whatever method you did? Why knit in the back loop to orientate? Is there a different cast on that’s correct from the start?
@donielleshowvaytheknitting1652 ай бұрын
Combo knitting is basically winding the yarn in a clockwise direction when purling and a counter clockwise direction when knitting. You can do the same cast on as in the video, but wind the yarn counter clockwise for the purl stitches and it will be oriented differently.

Plse tell me, if I want to knit a cap in the round with 144 sts but I am double knitting, do I need to cast on double that amount of stitches?
@donielleshowvaytheknitting1652 ай бұрын
You are correct! Since double knitting is basically knitting two side of fabric at once, you’ll need double the amount of stitches. Be sure to do a swatch to make sure your hat will fit perfectly! 😉

Would you say this joining stitch is strong enough to use on a big blanket made of a very chunky yarn? I'm concerned the stitches would stretch due to the weight of the blanket.

Any newbies watching, DO NOT COPY THIS VIDEO! SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE DOING! You must have only been knitting in total of your life for 1 hour! If that! Your very first purl stitch you did the correct way way, counter clock wise! The rest where you tried to show off, you're wrapping it clockwise, thus twisting the stitch each time! Then there's your choice of yarn to demonstrate! Why didn't you use dental floss, it's even thinner, or sewing thread to make even harder to see if that's what you were trying to do!!!!🤨🙄 So it can be seen clearer, use at least a Double Knit weight yarn!

Why did you go on the attack at the outset? You could have brought your point across without all that drama and the insults. Everyone does the best they an with what they have, with what they know and with their particular skill set. If you didn't enjoy the video, or you felt it didn't give you what you needed to know, you could have asked a question or moved on. There are so many other tutorials, I am sure you would have found what ypu were looking for elsewhere. And if your knitting is so very outstanding and you're an expert videographer, then by all means go ahead and make your own videos and help those of us still navigating this world. Please. And I hope that those viewing are kinder to you than you have been here. Love and light to you❤
