How To: Knit an I-Cord
Просмотров 870Год назад
This knitting tutorial goes through all the information you need to knit your very own I-Cord!

Knit Trips - Port Macquarie Ep 1 (Aussie Knit Trips)
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.2 года назад
Welcome to Port Macquarie! The first leg of my trip saw me travel from Sydney to Port Macquarie on a 10 hr bus and train ride. I only had one full day to see the town, so my best bet was to make the long trek around the coast to the Tacking Point Lighthouse. The lighthouse itself was a bit small, but the coastal walk made up for this. It was a mix between sandy beaches, rocky outcrops and bits ...

Modified Knits - Taylor Sweater Neckline Adjustment
Просмотров 18 тыс.2 года назад
This episode of Modified Knits looks at adjusting the neckline of my Taylor Sweater. This sweater is one of my absolute favourites, but the neckline was becoming much too wide. Whether it started stretching over time or I had just had enough of the width, I wanted to change the neckline into a tighter fit. I've never done anything like this before so it was important that I thought about what w...

Welcome to the Knitwits Classic Jumper. This was my first major pattern that I created in collaboration with Jacqui Fink.

Watch me block my Checkmate Sweater! To find out how to block a garment, you'll just have to watch this video. Why do we block? Blocking helps to even out stitches, set our garment into the shape we want, makes it easier to sew the garment together, accentuates stitches and helps to bring life to the garment. Tips and Tricks: Allow the garment to dry completely, adjust the pins as you go, block...
Let's Yarn! - Design Inspiration

I like to use my previous designs and adapt/add differe...

Come frog my Checkmate Sweater with me... Frogging is a frustrating but necessary part of knitting. It's when you make and error and have to rip it back, or as a frog would say "ribbit"... It's a corny joke but now we have frogging! This is now the 3rd time frogging a part of this jumper... The constant frogging has come from my need to make sure this jumper actually works... Yes it's shocking,...

    Looks great. Thanks for the inspiration to give this a try. Either I missed it or you didn’t say but did you use a smaller needle than you did originally for the ribbing?

    Hi sir, I don't know your name but you can save my life (or at least my sweater - I hope). This is my problem: I just finished the back part of a breautifull sweater but now I can already see that my head won't fit in it 😢😢😢 It was knit with needle nr. 4 and I have only 37 stitches, that will be 74 after knitting the front. But it looks sooo small. I'm afraid to finish the whole sweater and then notice I can't wear it. The rest of the body seems ok. I would like to knit a nice rollar collar on it. Would you be so kind as to give me some advice? If neccessary, I can mail a picture of the part I have been knitting. Thanks a lot in in case you read this. Greetz from Belgium ❤

    I think leaving it just the way it is, is perfect and plain everywhere else compliments the honeycomb and the cable. I like the one purl on the outside edge just the way you have it. Don’t you make it any more complicated simple as good?

    I wish I knew how to knit. I was gifted some pretty pink knitting needles, but I don't know how they work. ☹ I do know a little sewing. I used to crochet with my granny when I was little. I think knitting is sorta similar? Great video, Your sweater was awesome!!

    I may be retired they just slowed me down and gave me social security disability put me on a bunch of prescriptions yada yada yada I think what a bunch of nits nitpickers knit just that and the other then I started looking around at how easy brass pressing can be and why I'm still wearing Levi's two sizes too big then I thought well NHtSA which they always pronounced nitza... And I thought well if anything I better learn how to spin yarn so that's how I'm here Peace. Yeah Detroit you'd be correct.

    The #checkmatesweater (your pattern of course) has found its way back from Brunie Island to me in Melbourne. My nephew loves it, but the neckline has stretched and is now way too big. (no fault of the pattern, it's the deliciously soft alpaca yarn we chose). So now I know what to do and how to do it, I'm confident enough to get started. Thanks Brendan, for a great tutorial.

    Great job! I've read it about, but haven't ever tried it as I never saw anyone do it myself. And I felt a little unsure until I'd witnessed it in action. So, thanks for showing us! It DOES look so much better - and overall it's a very handsome sweater! Flattering on you, too. Thanks!

    Did that get out the kinks out? I was making a sweater and realized after I was past both sleeves that they were too short! I frogged the sleeves and much more! I began to crochet again and it looks horrible! You can totally tell the difference between the good and bad…. Now, if I steamed 5 hakes of yarn would the texture be the same or do I buy new yarn? 😢

    I think I have told you this before, I know i have, you are fantastic. I love that you tell how you pull out and try again. You spend a lot of money on the yarn, yes, you will want the garment to look the way you envisioned it in the first place. 63 years of experience and i still pull out to make it look better. You are a credit to your parents young man.😊
