Was waiting for the actual tutorial for the whole 15 minutes that you spent talking. Definitely not knitting instructions more like a discussion on picking up stitches. 😂

I would have said a low intermediate knitter but according to this I'm an experienced knitter. Thats eye opening, and nice.

Great video on Shibui Twig! Purchased several skeins after hearing Twig was being discontinued and so disappointed about that. Questions: 1) Did you swatch with 20 stitches 2) how did you wash Twig swatch and 3) can this yarn be machine washed and dried - I have only hand washed and laid flat to dry. Used Twig to knit Yume in 2022 - got 24 st with 3.75 mm needle.

Very helpful video. Colour choice for me is difficult. I'm a black & white type of person...definite colour changes!

I just love the Ataraxy pattern you shared with us, but I can't figure out how to buy the pattern. When I click on the link to the designer's website, I get an error message saying the site is private. Any advice?

This video helped so much. I want to work on a cardigan called Folklore Cardigan where there are two versions of a certain singer's cardigan. I like lace weight and the pattern is in DK (the paid version). I think I may have to redo the pattern but I love smaller stitches and the look of machine knitted. I appreciate this a lot!

I just found your channel at a time when I really needed this information. Thank you!

So, what is varigated??

How do I get your written pattern for the Japanese Cinch Stitch?

I was late to listening to this, but I did wonder if you knew of any basic dk cardigan patterns with either inset sleeve 🎉or raglan that I could add lace to…drop shoulders don’t look good on my body type. Thanks for all your knitting tips

The rainbow IKEA bag debuted a couple of years ago for Pride. Cool to see that they’re still going strong

So inspiring! Especially the feeling that there are endless possibilities.

Ya not a big fan I donate all my acrylic yarns and never looked back 👍❤️🙏

Your videos are always so helpful and so fun! Watching this as I work on a lace top. I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to measure my lace gauge, so if you're wanting to talk more about gauge I'd love to listen to it!

Amazing 🤩 Thank you so much for sharing. These sites are very helpful 😮🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍

Always finish a row never leave your knitting in the middle of a row. I was taught this when I started knitting.

Hi Barbara, Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. This has been a major issue for me for time. ❤

this video CALLED to me and everything youre saying is music to my ears i love you ❤

Thank You! ❤ How to work it in the round?

The sweater I'm knitting called for a gauge swatch over a cable panel. It wasn't easy counting the stitches.

If I am knitting flat and I’m to begin knitting in the round to join the neck how do I do that? I’m confused.

Thank you, barbara. This is great information that I definitely needed.

Taking a black and white photo will show a shift in darkening shade.

I’m in the process of developing a sweater workshop and will absolutely be incorporating this info and linking the video in the resources I provide for the participants! This is so helpful!!

Just a quick note on your first tip: there is no such thing as too much yarn 😎

I agree on long-tail cast on. Other than quickness, I do not see the attraction and estimating yarn is a pain. I too, use the cable cast on which is easy and a good versatile cast on.

11:37 I’m just starting out and the two stitches is the bane of my existence

This is why I keep using the same like 3 yarns, previous sweater is this one's swatch lol

Good reminder! Thanks

Thanks, Barbara ! I found what you said is true in the knitting projects I have done. Needles are not so interchangeable, especially DPN and circular.😊reminders are good.

Rant on! 🥰

You don't know how much I wanted to work the project, not the swatch! 😂 🧶

Since I learned to properly swatch, I am so much more confident in my knitting it’s amazing! I don’t think most knitters know that when a pattern states knit to X number of inches/centimeters it means knit to a blocked length! (I just found this out a few years ago.). So now that I know how many rows per inch I have on my blocked swatch, I can calculate how many rows I need to do to get the correct length for my garment. Thanks!

I have never made a swatch, but now I’m going to. I usually only make thing that don’t have a gage need. Thanks so much for all your advice!❤ 25:08 25:16

Your video is quite good. I’m getting ready to start my first sweater (which I will do a gauge swatch for. )You really make it easier to understand. Thank you

Thank you Barbara.

I started doing swatches because all my sweaters are expanding ad infinitum and I am so fedup ! But then I thought this is not so much the fiber that is expanding but rather the textile I am producing. Is it correct ? Also I started spinning because I want to understand ! Thank you Barbara, love your videos !

Genius. I thought I knew all this stuff but every time I hear it I learn something! Also one of the things I found revolutionary was to make your swatch with running scrap yarn markers at the number of stitches that you are supposed to have for gauge and then measure the space between them to see if it's 4 inches or whatever it's supposed to be or not. I find I can be way more accurate than holding my ruler to my swatch and counting the stitches

To jest fantastyczne😍. Dziękuję za tak dokładne tłumaczenie

Smart idea!!

Do a favorite 5 fake stitches.

Watching on replay. Your new shawl is beautiful! You worked hard at testing, calculating and contemplating so customers don't have to, snd yet they get a stunning ( looks complicated) finished product!!!

My obsessive worlds have collided K-pop and knitting!!!! Long time, no see Barbara 👋

Thank you very much for the clear explanation! And I love your sense of humor! 😆

I use a M1 if I neglected to make a yo in the previous row. I know the hole made is smaller than a yo makes, but I have never noticed the size difference in the work. Making the M1 is so much better than undoing a row to add the yo especially when making a lace pattern. I have even used M1 instead of yo consistently in a pattern, sometimes it’s easier to remember the M1 for me.

Cool! That's what I've been using!!!!

Despite many years of knitting, I think I still "yoink" from time to time. It's good to have a reminder about it! (Oh, and the mm measurement for needles - and crochet hooks - is the diameter of the barrel.)

"In my charting software, if I wanted to - it's not gonna stop me ..." haha, no, but it will throw the red card. :) SO surreal seeing you use the software now that I've finally got access to it and have been using it for a while!
