The bralettes are super cute! My chest unfortunately is too buggy for those.
Subscribed because you’re informative and Canadian 🇨🇦!
I don’t use straights, row counters, expensive bags or fancy stitch markers. With regard to blocking though…..isn’t it better to lay your knitting out to dry onto something that will allow water to evaporate (heated floor, foam mats, plastic) rather then soak up moisture (towels, bed etc.)?
Summer Lee Designs on Ravelry (and RUclips) has some really cool socks that would work well with minis.
Looking for destash yarns on Ravelry is a good resource. I’ve seen reclaimed yarn for sale on Etsy.
I hold the yarn in right and kinda throw - don’t flick - but don’t drop the yarn. For colour work I try to use both hands but the pointer finger on my left hand keeps drifting upwards……any hints or tips?
I’ve got a question 🙂I was looking at the patterns first page and just wanted to be sure, I need two 5mm needle pairs; one pair that’s 40 cm in total and a pair that’s 80cm in total + two 4.5 pairs; again one that is 40cm and one that is 80 cm. I’m asking so I’ll know what exactly to pick up at my local store. Thanks so much for the video.
Thank you for the video! I started The Classic by space tricot, and was having difficulties understanding the instructions for short rows 😅
This video was super helpful for giving me a general overview of the topic, i watched some other ones that all cover specific techniques that were helpful too but left me a little confused about the bigger picture, so thank you so much!! I now feel a lot less intimidated about trying my first color work project :))
Very helpful video, surely a number of knitters will profit from it. May I add, however, that the same principles can be applied to carrying yarn in the right hand which also has the advantage (for some, at least) of making purling much easier. In your video showing English style, the yarn is not managed nearly as efficiently as when you work continental. That is not a put down. I make the comment so that those who prefer to carry yarn in the right hand know it is possible to knit just as efficiently as left-hand carry.
You are 100% right. I never did hold my yarn in the most efficient way in English and I wish i could!
I'm a natural left handed person, but thanks to a brownie leader I knit right handed. I've watched a few videos trying to follow continental knitters, but none have explained it like you. I'm, somehow, 61 and after a lifetime of knitting and crocheting my hands and wrists are telling me to try a different technique. Just on the second toe of my next pair of socks, so think I will try this next knit time. A hat sounds a good project to do. I'll try in the round first and once I have the knit stitch sorted I'll try a flat piece. Thank you. I'll let you know if I succeed. Happy Crafting xxJane 🐑🌼
Question... when placing the initial markers, does the beginning of the round marker count as the first marker?
I went to visit distant cousins in England some years ago and took out my knitting. The cousin looked with fascination and said, "I don't know what you're doing! It's like you're doing nothing and knitting happens!" I actually purl another way. When I do stockinette stitch, I always knit into the back of the stitch, so on the purl side, I just have to pick the yarn without any wrap. I also lost my right index finger in an accident, so I was very glad I knitted this way instead of English.
Just wanted to thank you for making this video. It taught me so much. I bought your sweater pattern am half way through. It’s the simplest pattern I’ve done and the closest fitting to my size. Keep up the great patterns. Could you make a basic buttoned cardigan pattern? Looking forward to any of your patterns.
the opening “are you ready to knit your first sweater” sounded like a threat so I nodded my head and got to work 😂
Thankyou, this was helpful!
Pour le 10% chez laine biscotte quand j’utilise le lien cela ne me donne rien de particulier a part m’amener sur leur site!! Il y a un code promo a faire peut-etre ?
Si vous mettez des produits biscotte dans votre panier, le code devrait apparaître au check out.
How do you avoid the gap at the ssk? When I wear the socks, I get a column of ladders just next to the ssk gusset decreases and ssk toe decreases. Thank you
Maybe you aren't making that stitch tight enough? Or it could be a sign of socks that are too stretched out.
To count rows, there’s an app you can install on your Apple Watch (if you own one), and it comes very helpful when you’re doing icords or things like that, otherwise, I just measure my work, and based on the swatch I know approximately how close I am to what the pattern is saying and when I’m about close enough, I count my rows just to be sure.
I have to be honest, I enjoy messing with the gauge. You are so spot on with your advice though Claudia. Thanks.😊
Sometimes it's fun but it has to be on purpose. 😘
@@cloknits Agree 💯
Did you say there was a link in your description for the knitting bag? Small for socks and a bigger one? Both hang on your arm? I don't see the link.
I might have forgotten to link it. It's Jesabelle B on Etsy. I'll go back to add it.
@@cloknits thank you❤️
I just found your channel today. Love your podcasts! ❤️ I grew up in Montreal, but live in Missouri now. It’s been a while since I’ve been back!
It's a great city, I'm sure you would have a fun time visiting it again.
Do I read my knitting? Yes, but do I understand it? That is a whole different ball game.
😂
Same here, yarn bowls are silly, I use a big vintage bowl from my great aunt. It's place is on the table and whenever I have time I sit and run through a couple of rows. It's amazing how quickly projects knit up for me. All these trendy things cost money I could be using to buy more yarn. Thanks for this video.
Fabulous video! Subscribed!
🥰
c'est joli
yarn bowls are just a expensive gimmick in my option....i have managed my yarn for over 50yrs without one
Very cool, thank you for your intricate detailed “show and tell”!! ❤ Q: I guess I have some security settings and therefore can not see your link for the needles. Could you pls. let me know what they are, especially the tool you use for switching 😊. Thank you! Also, could you maybe do a tutorial for a worsted top down v-neck version? 😁 I’m in AB but shopped many time at Espace Tricot 💖
Oh my gosh, so many lightbulb moments! So glad I found your video right as I'm starting a new project. I can't wait to put your tips into action!
I'm so glad!
Excellent video. Thanks for the visual tip.
please do the flexi flip needles in socks too. I have only been knitting a short time. I found your cozy sweatshirt tutorial (raglan) and I am halfway through now. I haver REALLY enjoyed it. Your tutorials are fabulous for a beginner. Thank you for all of it. I didn't ever see myself doing a sweater this soon! I know I would have never gotten this far without a lot of stress with just the pattern by itself!! I'm so happy I found you. I'd love to see you do swing too! I can see you doing that in my imagination for sure!! 🥰Thank you, thank you. Take care! bisous
As I’ve gotten more experience, I frog less because I can see the problem and figure out how the stitches work together. As a beginner I wasn’t confident in what I was looking at. Practice, practice, practice.
Exactly!
Learned English style... tried and tried Continental and my brain simply refuses it. So back to English style and loving it..,
As long as you are enjoying yourself, it really doesn't matter how you knit.
That Ciao Goo yarn swift! ❤. Family distraction = ASMR for you lol 🤓
I knit both ways. Learned English when I was 10. Then I learned continental. I do both with colorwork. I’m very slow with continental. And I can’t purl with continental. I’ve never practiced that enough to get good. So I’m sticking with English 😊
Your knitting to fast to see what your doing!
I'm sorry about that. Are you a beginner knitter? If so I have videos for beginners where I show the stitches slowly. Here I'm concentrating on the sock construction. You can also slow down the video if you want.
I went over to TikTok to see the comments, and the ones I read are really sweet and cute. I think I'd you continue in that tangent you might be the next "hoof trimming" channel but for knitting lol😂
I might 😂
Bonjour j’adore vos vidéo, est ce que vous avez un vlog en français
Oui j'ai une chaîne de tricot francophone: CloTricots
Hello! Thank you for a very interesting video. It helped me alot😊 What do you think about that yarn, Air ? Is it good ? Best regards, Helén
I like it. It's very soft and airy.
Love your videos. I do use the very short straight needles for very small items but i use circular for everything else. I only ever knit at home and wouldn't be without my note book and pen so when i have a few things on the go i always know exactly where i left off.
A question: I have very few experience with continental knitting, I used to knit with 2 or 4 neadles. But do you always have to rest your hands on a table? Because I like to knit in my sofa 😅 However, I want to learn it because I don't like sewing (in fact I hate it😂). Continental knitting seems to me better for my shoulder, is that correct? Thanks for your time and love from Belgium!
You can knit in any position, I actually am more comfortable when standing!
@@cloknitsHuh??? Well, since I've got artritis in both feet and knees that won't be an option 😅 Still I think that intercontinental knitting would bé better for my shoulder that starts hurting after knitting for an hour or so (56 years old and a complete disaster 😂). In fact right now I'm trying to improve my technique using your tips to take away the pressure on my shoulder.(At 4 am 😂) Thanks for replying so soon!
I learned continental 50 years ago and watched this video to see if there’s anything I could do differently. I’m definitely going to try to keep my left pointer resting on the middle finger. It seems like a more ergonomic way to evenly maintain the tension.
Wonderful!
I cut a 1 inch plastic tube , the type in the fish tank for pumping air as my stitches stopper to avoid stitches slip off the needle, it works very well.
That's a great idea!
Thank you, Claudia, for your videos! I have been crocheting for over 40 years, but I have recently learned to knit, and your videos are so inspiring and helpful to me! I just finished your washcloth pattern last night and I'm watching all of your videos and building courage for my next project.
Great job!
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on continental knitting. I think I will give it another try.
Wow, thank you!
It’s funny that you say the wool from the Yukon is local as its way across the country. I’m in Colorado and it could actually be closer to me 😅
Haha right. Canada is huge! I like that it's from my country so I'm participating in the economy in that sense. It's definitely not "local" distance wise.
I grew up with continental knitting and only learned English style later in life. Now I use both when doing fair isle so I can use both hands and just alternate colors.
Wow! I’m just shaking. So awkward feeling. Total beginner! 😱😱😱
It's all about practicing
