Tutorial: Hack for flat stranded knitting: the Portuguese Purl
It’s like magic thank you so much for the tutorial
@@cottagekeeper1044 you are welcome!
First time watching. You are both beautiful knitters. I vote dark blue.
Welcome! Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it.
Joy, your stranded knitting is absolutely flawless, I was in awe of that beautiful hat!. Jackie is lovely isn’t she?, I would go for the dark blue myself, great episode ladies 😊
Thank you for your comments and feedback!
Wonderful to see Jackie again! I vote for the dark blue to edge the squares. (You can always count on me to put my 2 cents in!) You both had so many beautiful finished projects and so many lovely new yarns to show. Stunning new sweater design, Jackie, and I love the baby sweater, Joy. Hope to see you both soon!
Thanks for your 2 cents, we appreciate it!
I'd like to try this stitch for a different design but that would involve increases - would that be possible and if so how? Thanks!
@@spiggyholz8824 Yes, you can do that. I would swatch different increases to see which one looks best. Probably you would need to work a double increase to keep the pattern in line
@@QuailsKnittingNest Thank you so much - I'll have a fiddle around and see what I come up with
I like the dark color for your squares.
@@patsycoats4061 Thanks for your input
What a great episode. So glad Jackie could join again. Your Persian Dream blanket will be an heirloom when you are done. Loved your baby sweater. I am looking for good baby patterns. No grandchildren yet but there is talk about it in the near future. Take Care!
@@mywonderfulknittinglife Oh, that is exciting that you may have grandkids in the future. Here's to fun baby knits.
Jackie is a joy. Such a lovely podcast.❤❤🎉
@@Sunshine-gh7dr Thanks!
Thanks so much for this. I've gotten to where I want to start making more complicated, multi-color things, but I HATE having a "bad" side. This is just what I needed!
@@wordforger great!
Finally finished watching while knitting baby hats!
@@EileenKampf Here's to baby hats! I hope you are enjoying retirement.
Loved the tiny cats, Joy! The Farm & Fiber Knits magazine sounds very interesting. I hadn’t heard about it before. It’s exciting to see the designers who are participating - especially Alice Starmore! Her daughter Jade also designs knitwear but the garments tend to be theatrical costumes rather than wearable every day items. The article from Meg Swansen sounds familiar to me. Didn’t she write on that topic in Interweave or Vogue Knitting? Btw, I have the book Twisted-Stitch Knitting by Maria Erlbacher if you ever want to borrow it. The patterns are quite beautiful. Finally, I’m so happy that everyone seemed to enjoy our Knitting to Flatter class! It was a wonderful day!
Oh yes, the knits from Alice Starmore in this issue are quite theatrical! But there are some wearable mitts, scarves & hats. I don't remember if Meg wrote another article about the Twisted Knitting, but I had the book for awhile and then got rid of it because I decided I would never use it.
Hi again! I'm watching as I knit on the first piece (the back) of a cotton summer tee top (Vincas from Berroco, with Estelle Young Touch Cotton DK -- discontinued -- deep stash!). I love your wee kitties (I have 3 cats -- 1 elder and two that are siblings, 1 year old) but haven't the patience to do the fiddly knitted kitties you've done,, Joy! As for the chicken -- I'm happy to admire from afar. NOT happening here! LOL! Again, the "fiddly factor" that I associate with ALL knitted toys has kicked in. Knitting is in itself my emotional support! RE: the 10-stitch hat. Hmmmm....I'm inclined to trust your review before I take the plunge and add it to my repertoire (mostly made from stash for charity). It seems to me there are other, better options for hats that I want to knit to give away! I was interested in your comments about Fiber Knits "magazine" as I have received information urging me to sign up. I'm Canadian so must consider that the cost in CAD is 30% higher. A $65 USD publication (or offering) would cost me $100 CAD -- and to receive only one REAL copy of it...and have the rest "dribbled out" (my perception) by e-mail?! Not happening at my end. Happy July 4 to you. Canada Day is July 1...so this is a very special week!
Hi Margaret. That Vincas top is a really cute design! I'm sure you will enjoy it. I don't normally go for fiddly things, but the mini cats grabbed me, lol, and they actually were not too fiddly to make. Have fun on Canada Day. :)
After watching some other tutorials, this one is a real blessing! So much clearer to follow and looks beautiful! Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks! I was just getting ready to frog a striped shawl b/c I didn't like the way I was carrying the yarn up the side.
You are welcome!
L9ve this 😂
Thanks
Can i use this for toe up with gusset ?
Not sure exactly what you are asking. You can use the short row for the toe (I have another video demonstrating this). I would not use this short row combined with a gusset for the heel, as this short row method completes the heel turning with no gusset needed.
That’s brilliant, I’m looking forward to trying that out. It looks very neat 😊
Thanks. Hope it works well for you
Lovely makes as usual, ladies! Loved the buttons for Janet’s Felix! I’m working on a lightweight sweater called Chinkapin Pullover with the softest yarn ever. Next up will be a summer top called Iris by Yumiko Alexander that should be lots of fun.
Both of those tops are in my favorites! I'm looking forward to seeing your versions.
I’m behind on watching your last 2 episodes! I wanted to comment on your double knitting issue with rowing out, Joy. I’ve had the same issue. It’s worse if using cotton yarn, of course. Better if I reduce needle size. Interestingly, I saw a friend yesterday who was working on her 1st double knit hat from a class she had just taken. It looked perfect. When I commented on how nice the stitches appeared, she said the instructor said to go back and tighten up the purl stitches after working 3 or 4 of them. I imagine that this could be very slow and tedious, but might be worth exploring? Let me know if you try it!
Interesting that you had the same issue. And Jackie told me she had problems with it, too. The interesting thing to me is that a few years ago when I did some more double knitting, it did not plague me at all. That fix of manually tightening up the stitches does sound tedious; I'm not likely to try it, but thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks Joy! Great tutorial👏I wondered if I was doing it correctly...I've only tried it once before...I will try again with confidence 😀
You are welcome. Knit on with confidence. :)
I think you found this bind off from me, Joy. I used it in a recent project which you commented on. I had never heard of it before either. The one thing that I found which made it a bit easier on my wrists was to use a short dpn for the right needle. It made me feel like I had less distance (and no cable!) to twist around. See if it makes a difference for you!
Yes, I definitely got it from you! I did not have any issues with the needle I was using, but will keep your tip in mind.
That silly chicken brought me back to knitting after a six-year hiatus a couple weeks ago after I randomly saw it on social media somewhere 😂 since finishing it I've knit 4.5 hats and a shawl! Very grateful to be back in the yarn :) I loved your cardigans, blankets & anecdotes! This is the first video I've seen of yours and I love it, looking forward to more!! 💟
Lol, here's to the chicken! Glad you enjoyed the video; welcome to the podcast.
Joy, may I ask what that sweet pattern area is?
The pattern for the green sock is by diutu and here is the link for it: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/oh-so-few-chocolate-squares
Thank you very much!
@@susanjulius8656 you are welcome!
Sock knitting for a Brisbane, Aus "winter". Love your videos.
first time watcher here I loved it! subscribed <3
Welcome and thank you!
Wow, those Felix cardigans are gorgeous!. Janet, those buttons are such a good match they’re almost camouflaged 😊. I love the way you worked the colours on your cardigan Joy, I’m going to try that on my next project, and the way you redeemed yourself with the short rows! 😊 well done ❤
Thank you!
Knitting this fingering one plain. My first Tolsta has stripes and I love it. 🎉
Nice
Quite clever. Been knitting almost 60 years and still finding new things to learn.
I think it's amazing that there is almost always something new to learn.
Beautiful knits ladies! Thanks for the visit 😀 people are starting to call me the chicken lady...I finished my 16th chicken yesterday May 25th...careful they are addicting and everyone wants one! 🐔🐔🐔❤ I'm Karnesee on ravelry
Wow, that's a lot of chickens! I'm glad you are having fun making them.
I’ve got a Tolsta Tee in HolstGarn Tides on the needles, and I’m knitting a Tegna in Knit Picks Lindy Chain for my daughter’s birthday in early June. :) Fun podcast, Ladies!
Are you adding any flair to your Tolsta Tee, or knitting it straight up?
Joy, you surely are able to make lemonade out of a lemon! Your ability to “fix” your Felix is amazing!!! Janet, your Felix is lovely!! I’m not a summer knitwear wearer…I knit sweaters all summer so I have new ones to wear in the fall. And, knitting for the grands happens in the summer!
I think I would be too hot to knit winter sweaters for myself in the summer! But small knits for grandkids is great. I look forward to seeing what you make this year.
LOL! So you've fallen for that chicken too, eh? I confess that a) I don't like finicky projects -- including toys -- and I don't enjoy making short rows -- so I'm just being entertained by all the chicken-makers out there, happy to watch from the sidelines. As for a summer top -- I made one last year, and had great intentions (patterns and stash yarns at the ready) but...my daughter approved the "Presto Vesto" from Amy Gunderson for Xmas 2024/Birthday -- January 2025 -- and it's *quite* the knit. That's my focus -- along with some socks and cross stitch and gardening -- for this year. It's still chilly here -- in the fifties and low sixties Fahrenheit (rough translation from 10 -14 Celsius) so I'm still enjoying wool socks and sweaters!
The Presto Vesto looks like a fun cable knit. Will you be adding a zipper? I have never done that with any of my knits.
Your persian dreams blanket is just that, a dream. Incredibly beautiful. I can't wait to see the final reveal!
Thanks. It will be a while before it's done!
Can this heel be worked on a toe up sock? If so when do I start the heel. Your tutorial made it all click!
Yes, this can be worked on a toe-up sock. In fact in the tutorial that is exactly what I am working on. For my husband, I start the heel at 9 inches from the toe tip (he wears a US men's size 12 shoe). It would depend on the length of your foot where you would start the heel. For myself I might start at 7 1/2 - 8 inches (I wear a US size 8 1/2 shoe).
@@QuailsKnittingNest LOL not until your reply did I realize you couldn't read my mind! The foot length is 9" :) I know some patterns say 2" from the start of the heel.
2" from the start of the heel is a good place to start. Try it once and see how it works.
Loving your creative use of stash yarns! Beautiful projects! I remember that Mission Falls at Unraveled…
Thanks. I remember the Mission Falls, too, LOL.
Some beautiful WIPs there ladies 😊❤
Thanks!
You both make everything look easy. I was feeling so good, purchasing Kelbourne yarn to make the Felix Cardigan for Rhinebeck. Now I see Joy using three yarns!!! Looking forward to us wearing our cardigans.
Well, I was trying to use my stash! It will be fun to see how different they all turn out. We'll have to get a picture together.
I just *love* watching you two and what you're working on! I admire the double-knitting and the pressed flowers pattern, but want to do *neither*! LOL! I also don't record my stash in a book -- just on Ravelry. Even then, it's incomplete; I'm always doing up-dates with yarn or roving I discover in the process of looking for something. It's always fun to see what you've made, and what you're making and how you combine yarns together to make new colour-ways. Thanks again for another lovely podcast. 😊
Thanks, Margie. I only put "special" yarn in my Ravelry stash. It's always a surprise when I look through my bins. :)
So happy to see another episode pop up today. Best wishes to both of you. I'm still up north and it was only 0C this morning so we are all enjoying sweaters for a bit longer. As always, I enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful projects.
Thanks, Margaret! I'm just sitting down to watch your new episode.
Oh, thank you so much for watching!
@@mywonderfulknittinglife Always!
🥰
I am so amazed that your mission falls yarn and mohair go together so beautifully! I would not have tried to pair them. The nylon in the mohair yarn adds strength, but nylon is very soft, also. And, Joy, I think your purples are working up great! So clever to combine them, but also a lot of work to keep track of the repeats. I am swatching 2 linen and linen, rayon cotton yarns for summer tee shirts.
Ty so much! My Christmas stocking was a mess and I didn't know what to do before I watched your video. You are a life saver! Lol.!
You are welcome!
Ive been knitting most of my life but when Majorie pulled out her blanket, I was totally gobsmacked!. That was amazing 😊
I know! It IS amazing. Her covid comfort, lol.
So fun to see all of your new acquisitions, ladies! You got some real lovelies there. And the pictures from your lunch at Caleb’s made me so hungry that I immediately booked a reservation for tomorrow night for dinner. Thanks for reminding me about them. I haven’t been there in years!
LOL. Glad to have inspired your dinner plans.
I saw Carlos knitting the first stitch when he was on the rows when knitting the 2 stitches together. You don’t knit the first stitch. Is there a difference in how it turns out your or his way?
The difference is so subtle you probably wouldn't notice.
@@QuailsKnittingNest thank you
You are welcome @@sietievdw5404
My son and daughter-in-law are moving to Philly this summer and it sounds like I need to plan a visit in March next year! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh, yes! If you do, let us know.
Your counterpoint shawl is beautiful Janet, and your herringbone scarf, Joy! Love the colors. Those urth yarns! Also like the European sock yarns, they wear better. Great that you go as a group to the crawl! Those are so fun, better together.
It was much fun to go as a group; I highly recommend it!
Love the hat and socks with the St Patrick's clovers!
Thanks, Jane!
What a lovely segment -- and such fun you had on your Yarn Crawl day out! I too love the sturdier sock yarns (Opal, ONline Supersocke, Lana Grossa and the like). That Uneek Urth you got, Janet -- 100% Extra-fine Merino (the highest grade merino, I think) -- is there a shawl in your future? I've been sitting on a skein of that for a while...Thanks for the tour; it was delicious -- and just a teaser to get me ready for our own Rose City Fibre Festival in Camrose (Alberta) next weekend!
Oh, have fun at the Rose City Fibre Fest!
I am jealous of all of the wonderful sock yarn you picked up on your last shopping trip. I have recently purchased West Yorkshire Spinners 4-ply and I've fallen in love with. Hopefully it feels as good on my feet as it does on my hands. Thank you for another wonderful episode!
I have not yet tried the West Yorkshire Spinners yarn, but have heard very good things about it. Happy Easter!
To you also!
your tutorial was easy to understand ,you are a good instructer ,thank you
Thank you for your comments. 😃
Love the way this looks but I remember doing this stitch many years ago in the round and hating it! If I made a mistake I couldn’t drop down to fix it and found that really frustrating. Your scarf is beautiful, though! Maybe you don’t make mistakes 😂. Or maybe it had something to do with it being in the round.
I did make a few mistakes. I tinked back to fix them; did not even try to drop and ladder up.
If i wanted to make it wider, say 9 inches, would i cast on an even amount or does it need to be in multiples of a certain # ? I found the pattern and downloaded it, and it calls for 30. Just not sure how many to add 🤔
Yes, any even number of stitches. The pattern is a multiple of two.
@@QuailsKnittingNest thank you 😊
