    I prefer the colored plastic markers. “Cute” markers (to me) are for beginners looking for novelty things to add to their supplies. Different colored markers in a project with several patterns are better reminders for me and they don’t snag.

    I was an addi needles fanatic, used them from the beginning of their introduction into Canada. I started to use chiaogoo needles of lately, and l love them. Now, I did not buy all sets….i should ve, so I bought cables and needles as needed. However, notice that you have, what it seems a great amount of them….what size, what cable do you have. I am interested in buying more….abd thank you.

    I loved this! I enjoy seeing all the stich markers you have, what works and what doesn't - and why! I've wondered about those oval ones too! I can see they're kind of awkward. And I've been watching the round removeable one but didn't know how big they'd be since I use all sizes of needles (up to about 9 anyway, so far). I like to have ones that will flow on ANY size of needles that are commonly used. I like bling and dangles too! Nice job on the video! I've also seen whereby people use the lightbulb markers and use the colors to mark various things like row counts, decrease counts, etc. - all by color and they say it's easier to count when using specific colors to indicate things. Great tip, that was.

    You can’t imagine how excited I was when you started talking about the issues you encountered when knitting top-down circ. yoke sweaters! I have knitted and designed quite a few ( not published because I am still not fully satisfied with a fit) but it still haunts me how to make a perfect fit. First of all, I have notices that the sleeves are popping outwards and does not set it nicely. I relate it to the four-wedge increase that I make. Also, I did have that ‘bubble’ you mentioned (or I took it as a ‘wave’ of extra fabric that that ‘stands’ and creates a bubble) when I wanted a yoke sweater that is a bit oversized (106,5 cm finished sweater to fit 87cm bust). I figured I had to many stitches and that yoke sweater can come out only as big as your body measurements allows. I mean you can not make yoke sweater loose enough without not creating extra fabric that pops up in front and back (I do not like it, at least not whilst knitting with Lettlopi, for instance). I’d like to know more about how you place the increases. What is the percentage of the front that you leave untouched by increases? What are the ratios of your increases? How much do you increase on the first, second and third inc. round (or/and 4th and 5th, if you have)? Thank you so much! I really appreciate hope you find time to answer 🙏🏻

    I do not know why people don't know about Kollage needles. They are square and metal, they go with firm cable and soft cable and I love them. Just like you I have all of them, cha goo's I have all the sets, but recently I found Kollage, they are made in Canada and I love their soft cable for the magick loop for the sleeves. They are interchangeable, but I bought only sizes I mostly use for the magick loop. Please let me know after you try.

    @Ann-u1e5r 6 месяцев назад

    Hi there! I found your videos recently. And I'm enjoying watching these. This year I got back to knitting after a long break(three decades). I was a child when I was taught knitting. I spent a lot of time online searching for best needles. I am a collector now. First I bought sets of straight needles. I bought double pointed needles as well since the magic loop technique is new to me. Also, I didn't know about flying needles. Recently, I found out what the flex needles are for. And it looks so much easier to use. Not sure if I should start my returns. But at least I did buy the wooden sets, symfonie, that I enjoy to have in my collection. Even though choosing a right needle is personal I AGREE with your reviews on ChiaGoo, Hyia, and Addi. After your reviews, I added a few titles to my amazon list. And I love Thread and Maple. But it's so expensive. So, I will first collect the pages only one at a time. And then when I have a quite a few then I will buy the overall case for all!.

    @debbietodd8547 7 месяцев назад

    they are indeed pricey so lots of educating myself before purchase. I did treat myself to the blue shorties and I so far love working with them, doing the sleeves on a sweater, light years better than dpn's. I did not like chiaogoo dpn's for knitting socks as the stitches are always sliding off, too slippery but now in circular, well, I will be purchasing more for sure. Don't have any trouble with the case, would have to shake the case for the needles to fall out. My only disappointment was with the little ruler.....why would you go to all the trouble to make such a high quality product and make a paper ruler?! Metal would have been so much nicer, this one is not going to last unless I got it laminated.
