Latvian Braids
Просмотров 5312 месяца назад
These braids are a wonderful way to decorate a hat, a cuff of a mitten or a cuff of a sweater. I have seen also on the yoke sweaters. All are performed by purling with the yarn in front of the work, which sound perfect for the Portuguese Style of knitting! However, because we bring the yarn over or under each other according to the direction of the twist, they are not possible to be knit using ...

I take advantage of the purl Stitch to show you an easy to memorize and quick embellishment for shawls, scarves, baby sweaters or whatever your imagination desires. Every 4th row you increase one stitch, so you can let this make a design on your piece, or plan accordingly by decreasing one stitch every 4th row away from the lace edge.

Jogless Jog on Purl Side
Просмотров 5874 месяца назад
When you work a circular project with the purl side facing (or knit for that matter), you are actually working a spiral, where the last stitch of the round is never side by side with the first stitch you had at the beginning to the round. That appears as what we call a JOG, very evident when you change colors, like on a striped hat or sock for example. To avoid the Jog, knitters came up with se...

Is there a written pattern for the decrease in the lace edge shawl?
@@caroldousi2823 I don’t think we put in the description. Sorry. I will ad this soon for you and for all. Thank you for asking it!
Strosin Motorway
Knitting is what I love to do when I'm stressed out and need to decompress. Cheapest therapy I could find...well, unless I find a sale at my local knitting supply store! 😊 Parabems, senhora Andrea...Que Deus lhe abençoe com mais 50 anos de saúde para continuar sua arte de tricotar.
@@ridingnorthernlights muito obrigada! Thank you so much! I knit always, to decompress or not, but I agree a yarn sale makes me very happy!
Pretty stitch!! I like the reverse side too.
@@EvieO1950 I like the reverse side myself! Thank you!
Thank you for this demonstration! The pattern was not very clear on how to do the smocking part, especially since the pattern is written for English/Continental style. I have some small cable needles that work beautifully for this stitch.
@@kj3d812 you are welcome! I hope that helps you. Sorry it takes a while to publish it!
Hi Andrea! Wanted you to know that your website is not accepting orders (says error… won’t take cc info); also, I tried to send you a message there, and it was rejected for “spam bots…?” I was trying to purchase your video for Fair Isle, and was trying to send this message: PLEASE consider: There is no other RUclips or other content for a full sock-knittlng class fully with Portuguese-style knitting. IE, wrong-side knitting that produces a stockinette-stich/pattern on the right-side. I have been knitting Portuguese-style for about 3 years, and learned from your videos. I love to knit socks; and try to flip inside-out to do stranded-knitting, but then get flustered to flip again to do heel and decreases. Please consider doing an ‘inside-out’ purl sock’ (portuguese-style) for ‘the rest of us who can’t figure it out.” Thank you! Anissa Long Hopefully you can get it figured out! Would love to connect! Thx!
@@anissalong1340 thank you for letting me know. I will pass along to my webmaster.
@@anissalong1340 I will consider the sock demo inside out. I am going on vacation tomorrow and be back mid September. I will work on that then. Thank you so much for your message!
Question: additional to The yarn holding with Pin on the shoulder ❤ Is there anything special For Portuguese knitting ? Thanks ❤
@@louisedragne5319 hi Louise. I teach people to knit this way and here I demo the lace border. My students like to see how I increase, decrease, yarn over using the pin. Does that help with your question?
@@AndreaWongKnits thanks
@@louisedragne5319 you are welcome!
💗💖👏💯👏 Thank you so much for offering this wonderful class. Recently I’ve been learning how to knit socks which has been a huge challenge for me. I’m not an experienced knitter, and I want to knit my socks usually from the inside, since purling is so much easier and enjoyable for me. I’ve been doing Portuguese style for some years now, thanks to your dvds, book, and RUclips videos. Your instruction is excellent, and I can hardly wait to take this class!
@@arielle2745 thank you so much for your testimonial and kind words, Arielle! Please let me know how your projects go inside out and if you have questions for me as you go.
This looks great! I have a couple of your classes through Craftsy, and I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you!
@@janestevenor5123 thank you! What a great testimonial to learning online! Any questions you may have, just let me know!
Is this a class that I can work at my own pace?
@@barbarasmith7643 yes, Bárbara. You will own the class and you watch it as much as you want and whenever you want. It is divided in chapters
This sounds wonderful - Thank you very much ❤️😊🧶
@@lindaw505 you are welcome! Enjoy the class!
Any updates on when the smock stitch video will be released?
@@kj3d812 yes, it’s the next one. I asked my webmaster☺️
I would love a class on crocheting items with beads like you demonstrated. Thank you for sharing.
@@debidrange4045 I appreciate your input! I will work in producing a class. ☺️
Dang, I was hoping this would be the smocking stitch video.. 😕
@@kj3d812 it’s already recorded. It’s been edited and soon will be available😊
A tutorial in bead crochet would be greatly appreciated! I love how you teach!
@@ildagalvao4040 thank you! I will prepare a class on it!
Can one use this method for normal crocheting? I have stopped crocheting because it hurts my hands too much but using Portuguese knitting it is a pleasure to knit.
@@elsatoerien6721 of course! That’s the purpose of this video: to encourage you to crochet this way! Let me know how it goes.
So coincidental you posted this. I just started crocheting and have been using Portuguese tensioning since I’m so used to it now.
@@daniellem905 wonderful! Do you maneuver it in a different way?
Would love a class on how to bead crochet
@@superisis2009 thank you for letting me know! I will work on one. Have you tried it?
Thank you for the excellent video. When joining in the round by purling the two stitches together, should the beginning of the round marker be placed after (to the left of) the p2tog? I was wondering because the yarn tail is coming out to the right of the join.
@@oliverbradley4788 I appreciate your comment. I purl 2 together and place marker. I guess it’s a matter of preference. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
@@AndreaWongKnits Thank you.
I would love to see a class on how you do a stockinette sock cuff-down. You mentioned that you like to do stockinette projects inside-out in order to be able to purl rather than knit stitch. I want to do this, but I just can’t wrap my head around the heel-turn and toe decreases with the sock inside-out. Hope that makes sense- maybe you have a pattern written this way that I could purchase?
Very pretty! Not sure if I'll ever use beads, but I'll keep this in mind. Still looking forward to the smock stitch video!
@@kj3d812 the smocking video is being edited. It’s coming soon. Not everyone likes the beads, but I have so many! It will be on another project though. ☺️
Nice! I like how you add the beads. I don’t want to thread them all on when I start.
@@EvieO1950 yes, it makes it easier and it doesn’t damage my cashmere fiber this way. 😊
That is such a beautiful shawl, and being garter stitch, it is easily done. The beads add so much to the edge.
@@cindyfrye3026 Thank you, I agree.
I only thought of the beads when making the first video😟😟
Andrea, I've actually done Latvian braids on the non-public side, too. I tried it when I was working on a hat using Portuguese knitting on the non-public side. I started my hat with ribbing and with my yarns on my pins as usual, then when I got to the Latvian braid, I did my set up row alternating colors and doing purls, not knits. Then I dropped the yarn off my pins and instead of having the yarn in front and doing knits, I had my yarn in the back and did purls. The public side turned out exactly the same as if I had done it on that side. When I finished the two rows of the Latvian braid, I put my yarns back on my pins and continued my hat on the non-public side, Portuguese style. Either way is great and they are SUCH a pretty addition to patterns!! Great video. THANKS!!!
Wow! Thank you for letting me know! Then the braids are pointing the same direction as if done on the public side, right? I never tried. However, you still have to take yarns from pins to make the braid. Thank you for sharing it. I will try it!
@@AndreaWongKnits I will be excited to hear how this works out for you!
@@kindergeek I will let you know. It might take a bit, as I have at least 5 projects on my needles and 3 projects in mind for my website☺️
Thank you.
You are welcome!
First view here knitting friend ❤🥰👋🏽
Welcome! I am open to requests, questions and constructive criticism.
Pretty stitch, but for myself, I'll pass...😂
@@vanessajustino9222 that’s absolutely fine!
Andrea, thank you for this video. The lace stitch is lovely. And the yarn is beautiful. I had no trouble seeing it. The lady who NICELY suggested a darker color has a valid point in that everyone’s monitors are different and some may not have as much contrast. But I’m always amazed at the people who ONLY complain when you are providing free content. 🙄 I took your class at Temptations and am so glad I did. I switch back and forth between Portuguese and English especially when knitting stockinette. I still have trouble with my yarn flowing through the pin and my hand. I find my knitting is always coming closer to my face, then I adjust it. Do you have a video to show how to keep the tension even and yarn flowing?
Dear Cheryl, I agree that my audience has a valid point and I promise to make better choices in the future. I do have a video on the Basics of Portuguese Knitting here on RUclips and I believe is shows how to control tension. I will watch it again and get back to you.
How pretty. Thanks for sharing!😊
Most welcome! Stay tuned for part 2: decreasing and adding beads.
Looking forward to it!
I love your knitting ❤
Thank you! Do you love yours?
@@AndreaWongKnits I do love knitting!
So lovely. Thank you!
Most welcome! I hope you can use this edge!
Thank you for this wonderful pattern. I am knitting along from Australia. I just realised that I don't know where to decrease the two stitches when the desired widths been achieved?
Hi Annika. I will make another video to show how to add beads and how to decrease the stitches. Just give me a couple of weeks and I will release the video. Thanks for watching!
This method is fascinating!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Can you show how and at what point you increase and then decrease on the 4th row
Yes, Norma. I was just replying to Annika that I am continuing the video with adding beads and decreasing stitches. Just give me a couple of weeks, please. Thank you for watching!
I wish I grew up knitting Portuguese. I'm 73, are stuck in English knitting for 68 years. Thank you for the video
Well, you have made your choice long time ago. I believe you had a good reason. Enjoy your knitting!
I too am an English knitter for 60+ yrs now. I’ve always been a slow knitter and could not retrain my hands to Continental. I took Andrea’s class about 10 yrs ago in Dublin, Ohio. I found that Portuguese knitting was relatively easy to crossover to and learn. It make stockinette stitching go faster for me.
@@cherylvelker4248 Thank you for your testimonial Cheryl!
@@cherylvelker4248 Here is the video for you. If you are my neighbor, give me a call and we can get together for a refresh in PK! ruclips.net/video/_SlySVT-QkI/видео.htmlsi=yVA2au_F-9QlNP7h
PRETTYYYYY❣️🥰. Can you PLZ show how to add beads on the pecot stitch?
Sure! I will add a second video with beads and decreases🥰
❤
This is amazing. Also - purling using the thumb? Game changer! Thank you so much for this x
That’s what Portuguese Knitting is all about!
I'm sure you can.
Yes!
My mother taught me knitting when i was a child. I think i was 7 or so. My mother was always knitting portugiese style, so i learned it that way. In earlier times purling was easier to me, so i dis my raglan sweater inside out. Its logical and prett cool. Now i have my own style of the knit stitch, and now the stickinette is much wasier. I still struggle with the tension in times, but its getting better. I get loose stitches and i dont know why
Wow! Thank you for sharing it. I am wondering how you knit now. You will improve tension with practice!
@@AndreaWongKnits my mother showed me to throw the yarn with the thimb to behind and then again with the thumb to yarn over. Now i do it with my index finger. Its mich less movement in the knitting process and its faster for me
Can you knit the stitches instead of purl and get the same result?
You’ve got it. Yes, you can turn every purl stitch into knit stitch!
Do you have a pattern for the item you are knitting? That would make a lovely skinny scarf. I don’t care for the Sophie scarf that is all over RUclips. This would be SO much prettier. I’ll keep an eye out on you channel. I just found your channel. Thank you ♥️
Pattern: NOTE: Cast on 10 stitches to start. You can choose any number higher than 5. Row 1: Slip 1st stitch with in front, Puri to end Row 2: Slip 1st stitch with in front, Purl to end Row 3: Slip 1st stitch with in front, Puri to last 4 stitches, Yarn Over, Purl 2 together, Yarn Over, Puri one in Front and Back (2x) Row 4: Bind Off 2 stitches puri wise, Purl to end
Thank you so much. I did see the pattern you had below you video but I had already sent the question. I will be watching more of your channel. I love the way you knit. I’ve never seen that technique before,it’s fascinating. Thank you.
What I show is the pattern. When you reach the desired width, then you start decreasing two stitches every 4th row. Can you do that?
Theres a menu for deleting comments .
Very clear, thank you
I am glad!
❤🎉❤
Thank you! ☺️
Oh my thats simple yet lovely thanks
I am glad you like it. What project would you use it?
@@AndreaWongKnits I would likely use it in a shawl or wrap edge
Fascinating, never seen that before❤
Isn’t it, Maureen! And people have been knitting like this for centuries! You can find the needle in my Etsy shop if you want to give this a try. Thank you for your comment!
Beautiful lace! It's a mystery, though, why so many knitters here on RUclips choose yarn that matches the background (table). It makes it really hard to see what's going on.
Thank you for your input. I will be more aware of my colors in the future.😊
You are absolutely right. Why do these people not watch their own videos before posting. Another annoying thing is when they use variegated yarn when showing a pattern. Oh really!!!!
@@virginiadutoit3577 hi Virginia, I do watch my own videos before I posted. To me there was enough contrast to see what I was doing, but I will look for even more contrast next time.
I purl into that first slip-knot stitch and then insert the right-hand needle between the two stitches from back to front, allowing me to create the next stitch as if I were purling.
Nice! I will do that. Thank you for sharing it!
New knitter and this video was extremely helpful! Thank you!
I am so glad it was helpful. When we start knitting we have so many questions, so please send your questions to me. 😇
Andrea, Can you show how to eliminate a jog when doing a fair isle type of pattern on the non-public side? I am doing a hat with a charted pattern and the first or last stitch sometimes are the same color, sometimes different colors, sometimes a new color. Is it even possible to use your jogless technique in some way?
Yes, it is possible unless the colors and patterns change every few rows. Try to use what I show. It gets harder if you don’t have plain rounds in between color change
Yes that’s exactly the problem. Your easy technique works with some sections of my complicated projects and not with others. I will persevere!
Hi Andrea, thank you for this extremely clear tutorial on Portuguese knitting. The purl style is going to be a game changer for me! Just shared this with my knitting bestie, and we are both very excited. Best wishes to you from Australia 😁🧶😁🧶😁
Most welcome! I hope to visit your country one day!!!
