How to repair a snag in knitting, fine yarn.
How to do a repair.
My project got caught on some velcro, and it pulled the yarn for some 20 stitches.
Fortunately, the yarn didn't break.
With a fine crochet hook, gently find how the loop is placed. Do not twist it, and pull a bit on the fabric to see where you need to be.
It looks like the stitches aren't even missing, but further into the video, you can see the stitch open up a tiny bit.
You need to really pull on the yarn, yet gently, to make the stitches as big as they used to be. And here that's pretty small.
Once you get to the end there is still room for adjustments.
This will NOT sort itself out after blocking without this repair.
This was filmed in real time. If it had been mor...

Knit a loop in the front AFTER you knit it in the back loop
Просмотров 2127 месяцев назад
In my Fine Shetland Lace group, on Facebook, a question was asked. How do I knit a stitch in the back loop AND then in the front loop. Usually, this goes the other way around. But I needed to twist the loop and increase a stitch, too. Here, I show you HOW to knit that and why. Enjoy. Have A Fine Knit.

How to do Wrap & Turn in knitting (fine lace).
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Hi. For all patterns with an edge around the shawl, I've been using the Wrap &Turn technique. The benefit is that the edge can be knit continuously, no short rows. It also gives a nice corner because all the rows fan out and get full length when blocked. In the patterns are descriptions on how many to do and how often or where to start. In a visually oriented world, a tutorial can be very suppo...

How to cast on for circular project, when knitting.
Просмотров 220Год назад
Here is a tutorial in real-time, on how to cast on for a circular project. this way, you do not end up with a large hole in the centre. It does take some effort to not drop the needles, but I'm showing you how to do that. If you want to do it, but with support, sit at a table or have a pillow on your lap. Make sure to have the needles in the right place, so you don't accidentally male new loops...

Grafting in general and especially Fine Lace.

Hi, this is my latest design Equilibrium, and I need to graft the two knitted halves to each other. I hold one part in my lap and the other equal part is on my knees. there is a black foam board under my knitting, for security. That will prevent the lace from slipping away, the black is a good backdrop to the white yarn. I've got a red Lifeline in the top beit, so as not to miss any stitches wh...
How I knit Fine Shetland Lace
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Год назад
Let me show you how I knit very fine lace. Just because I am knittingbit on straight dull grey needles doesn't mean it can't be done with circulars, bamboo, carbon, or other types. It is all about technique. But... you DO need a needle with a lace point. Otherwise, making decreases will be very hard to do. I love doing this, I hope you do too. How do you knit? pattern: Equilibrium (not yet rele...
How to attach a knitted edge to the shawl.
Просмотров 395Год назад
Have you knitted an edge separately, and do you want to attach it to your project? This is one way to do it. I had knitted another project and added an edge to it. Then, I removed the edge because the project was not to my liking. I had knitted the edge onto that project, and simply by dropping the stitch that kept the edge attached, I then was able to pull on it, and the whole edge came off. Q...
Making it all better again, repairing my knitting.

I had added 1 too many loops while knitting a nupp. It's a 9 loop nupp and I took the next stitch too. I only noticed it many rows later. The nupp was pulled in a different direction than all the others. There was nothing else to do but to unravel. I layed it down on my lap, unravelled while controlling the yarn, so only 1 row got undone. Nupps tend to hold on for dear life and pull the rows be...

Thank you very much!❤
Thank you for sharing, you are very talented.
Steady hand!!
Lovely Happy Holidays Monique ✝️🙏💜☃️😊
heel mooi. maar ik begin bij een punt in het midden, en dan meerderen, ik weet hoe. maar nu de mindering. ik vroeg me af of er nog wel mensen zijn die de vierkante hap maken, iedereen breit maar de helft. ik had de grootte ook berekend op 1 meter 80. er stond vroeger een hap kal online maar die kan ik niet meer vinden. ik brei dus eerst het midden, en dan pas de 4 randen. op naalden 5 want ik het reuma. er zit wel casmere en merino in mijn wol. later ga ik nog wel eens met dunnere wol breien. ik brei ook sokken. en ik heb reuma breinaalden.

Fantastic! Thank you very much!
Hello, I'm from Chile and I've been looking and researching about this wonderful weaving technique and as you say, I only find separate design patterns, and in my short or almost non-existent experience, I can't make or join different designs to create a complete work. Is there a pattern that shows how to make a complete shawl? Or should I just do it myself? Thank you very much for all your videos and you have a new subscriber!!!!
So Beautiful of an Art Thank you Monique Sending Love 💜😊🌹
amazing knitting. I am also knitting my first shetland lace. I bought the lace yarns from shetland.
Very beautiful!❣️
This is very informative. Thank you for sharing. As for the name 'Aisling', I've heard it pronounced as 'ASH-LING'...can you imagine!
Amazing send me your address for Passion for Lace so I can send you a gift Love your Art 🌞🌷💕
That's so kind. Perhaps buy a pattern, then we're both happy!

This is very helpful, thank you for the tips! 😊
Such Lovely knits 💕😊🌹
I would guess this is very time consuming and cannot miss a stitch no room for errors here ❤
Looks Lovely 🌹 your a Great teacher ❤
Can't wait to start my first piece Thanks for being such a Great Teacher ❤
Amazing work keep teaching me Danke ❤
Lovely works of Art ❤
Does length matter for the needles? Or is it comfort. I wondering how many cobweb yarn stitches can fit on a straight needle.
I knit on real short needles for my 2 ply lace. It's much easier on the hands and wrists as you get older. With the thin ply you can handle a min of 100 plus stitches. My question was "where do you get such fine ply wool from?" And see someone wrote they got theirs from Shetland. Is there anywhere closer to Oz than that? I get my two ply, or have done in the past, from Bendigo Wool Mills
Beyond Lovely the finest knitting i think i have seen how long did this shawl take to knit? Thanks Marianne 💕😊
Your work is Amazing and so precise Im addicted to Lace everything it just takes so long ❤
Amazing..got me nervous at one point though 😅
Браво!
Thank you for this wonderful video. It was wonderful to see you and your beautiful designs and to learn from you.
When I bought the pattern last year, I didn’t realize there were two versions. Apparently, I have the rectangle version.
I purchased the pattern last year, and have been hoping there will be a KAL. I know this will be a challenging project. Thanks for the tips ❤
Is this grafting method fine for a hap shawl (Morag shawl) knitted with light fingering yarn (Bc garn bio shetland 280m per 50g). I did a provisional cast on for the edge part : do I need to place edge stitches back on a needle and cut out the waste yarn before I start the grafting ?
Thank you very much, dear Monique!
Love the new design, and really appreciate your tutorial on wrap & turn corners. As always, watching you knit is magical! Thanks for everything you do, Monique ❤
Un gioiello ❤️💐🙋☕🛋️🧶🪴🐕🐈⬛🏠☀️
Very beautiful work. Your double stripped one is v gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Can you show fine lace cast on. Mine is always too tight. I do the loop cast on, and it pulls together there. If there are any tips, I'd appreciate it. It's keeping me from Equilibrium Shawl. I dont like the way it looks and. I know grafting here will be bunched and look terrible, and that bothers me too much. Thanks, Robin
Wow, fabulous. I used to knit a lot years ago and hope to begin again, this time knitting lace. Waiting for a couple of books. I've subscribed and hoping I can figure it out, and I believe your videos will be very helpful. I knew how to fix my knitting before, and so this made fair sense to me, even after all those years, but the "moving over" of the lower stitches was a new one! Thank you so much for the videos. I'll be back I'm sure. 😃
Anch’io odio fissare i fili. Uso un metodo più lungo. Lavoro fino alla fine della riga, segno il filo dove finisce l’ultimo punto, disfo 5-6 maglie e unisco il nuovo colore con Russian join dal segno sul vecchio filato. Poi rilavoro i 5-6 punti ed ho il nuovo colore per continuare. Mi sembra che l’ho trovato in un lavoro di Kieran Foley.
I have been wanting to knit one for ages, this is the encouragement needed! Such a great video, thanks very much.
That's amazing to see the swatches, side-by-side, the difference using different sized needles

Hi, Monique - What a delightful video, and so much useful information. Hap-py knitting ahead! Thanks for all you do to preserve the Shetland lace heritage & to build a contemporary, international community of fine Shetland lace knitters. Best wishes to you & yours for the coming year. ❤
Thank you for the kind words. We must do it together to keep it alive!
Monique, è possibile attivare i sottotitoli? Grazie❤
Se premi il radar in alto a destra, puoi andare su Impostazioni. Lì puoi premere i sottotitoli e scegliere la tua lingua. Non posso attivarlo da solo. Se non è possibile farlo, significa che non è disponibile. RUclips si occupa di questo.
Thank you!
I make stitch markers out of size 20 Elizabeth thread from Handy Hands
I detest switching 😊 for reasons I don't fully understand. I'm going to force myself because I'm trying to work on the Equilibrium, and I realize I am a very loose knitter. This has not been a problem with lace weight yarn as gauge is not important to the pattern. I have always been happy with the outcome. I am an experienced lace knitter. But it's different knitting Shetland lace. I have knit a square Shetland Shawl the lace was to loose, I snagged it right away. Luckily, it's forgiving, and I was able to make it look acceptable after minor manipulation. I knit it with Happsula yarn. I love this yarn. I am switching for this pattern. I recognize it is complicated for myself who is used to purling every other row for "regular lace" I'm going to use Jamison Cobweb for this beautiful square shawl. I so appreciate this video. I'm off to Ravelry to purchase the pattern and join the discussion group. I guess I needed to talk about this😊 Thanks, Robin
You have good insight into your skills and troubles. That will help you. A swatch can be time-consuming. I've had many that were thought of to be worthless. Yet, 10years later, they ring a bell, and a bauble design was born. It's all little steps to help you get in the flow. Keep me posted how it's going.
Thank you this is so helpful. Please keep teaching, you are an excellent one.😊
Patience of a Saint and a good eyesight! Does this help or give you stress
This is very helpful for me, as I have already purchased the pattern for the future ❤️
Thank you Monique, you do so much to help people! ❤️
Thank you! I know I'll come back to watch it again and again~ I feel like I"m about to jump off a cliff as this is a new challenge!
Great video, watched it while swatching so now on with the real work. 😊
