- Happy Vlogmas friends! Join me for a chill chat and let's talk about discontinued yarn, right and left handed knitting, and I'll even give a sneak peek of an alpaca spin on one of my new Kravelli spindles. I'm also chatting through my progress on the vintage Santa stocking recreation, my hand knit socks, an idea I have for some winter pajamas, and opening a few boxes in my Twice Sheared Sheep Advent Calendar.

😂 I was looking down while knitting, sipping on some juice, and I hear you say- "this puppy's holding Santa's flesh..."😂😂😂 I almost spat my juice!
I am not a spinner or weaver, but I love learning everything on this channel❤ Weird info: my high school Latin teacher (yes, I have aleays been a nerd) told me that the origin of the Greek myth of the Golden Fleece was because in Colchis (modern day Georgia) they put sheep fleeces in streams to collect gold dust. Merry Vlogmas!
I had never heard that story before! Fascinating!
lefty here, and self taught knitter (ty youtube!) when I first started knitting I did a mirror version of what I saw in the youtube videos because I'm a lefty and I thought it was fine. Turns out I was twisting every single stitch and only found out when I started learning lace knitting and my YOs were not YOs at all but instead twisted closed. Thanks to some lovely people on ravelry we all figured out what was going on and from that point forward I started knitting in reverse, the right handed way. And I've been knitting like that ever since.
I do still treasure my first few knitting projects that are all twisted, they are special to me and a lot of them were even done with my first hand spun yarn and hand dyed yarns too (I learned all of the things at the same time).
My late grandmother was a lefty! She tried to teach me to knit when i was around 7, but because i have always been strongly right-hand-dominant, I had so much trouble and gave up. I later taught myself to knit continental style, right-handed, from a book. So I figured out in retrospect that she did knit from left to right, which isn't how most righties knit.
I started out ambidextrous and only settled into being left handed truly in 5th grade. As a result, I learned to knit both ways, without having to turn my work or purl for knitting stockinette on straight needles. Now as an adult, knitting dedicated left handed, I definitely find I follow most asymmetrical patterns backwards. I usually forget about it, until my right handed mom or grandmother ask for help with their knitting.
I'm a left-handed knitter taught by my right-handed Nonna. She faced me, and I followed the mirror image of what she did. I taught my daughter this way.
Doesn't matter the topic or the time of day, when I can make time to watch your videos my mood improves. THANK YOU!
I'm left-handed, but learned to knit the right-handed way and can't change my brain to go the other way. But I do admire everyone who goes through the hassle of reversing patterns for their own style! For me it's not a big difference, I move my left hand mostly and the right hand is stationary, but I don't knit backwards.
I'm a left handed knitter and honestly it just means that I do NOT even attempt to do any complicated knitting patterns especially if they are written. Just mirroring everything seems like a really clever way to resolve the issue.
My Mother Knitted "Backwards".
I think some kids might teach themselves to knit by watching others, and in the process mirror the knitting.
Fellow left-handed knitter here! I taught myself to knit by mirroring from books! Luckily around that time they started publishing beginner books that included left-handed instructions, so I could confirm I was doing it “right.” I DO knit “backwards,” though. It hasn’t often caused me issues, but sometimes can trip me up like when I’m knitting a left-hand mitten with instructions for the right hand. 😅
I’m ambidextrous. I write with my right hand, because when I was kid in school, we started writing with fountain pens… at first I used whichever hand I was in the mood for. But with fountain pens, you smear the ink when writing left handed. So I slowly preferred my right hand for writing. For knitting I can do both.
In the kitchen, I’m definitely using both hands without one dominant over the other.
@@silverwitch6863: The way I hold the pen, ink pens work well for me as a left hander. Biros are another story. Even although my hand and biro mirror those of a right-hander, the fact that I'm _pushing_ from left to right, as opposed to a right-hander who is _pulling_ from left to right, ends up causing that classic left-handers' ball point pen damage that results in * *SPLOTS* * on the paper.
The joys of getting to revisit prior skills! It's so fun that you have an archive of your projects to look back on. I'm excited to see the angora be revisited!
Flannel button up top and long pants in winter, and jersey top and shorts in summer ❤
Hi! I wear an extra large t-shirt. Legs on pajamas tend to keep bunching up my legs. I love your videos and am still working on my dried flax.
My gramma was a leftie. My mom was, too, but then school forced her to learn to be a rightie, so now she’s ambidextrous. Both of them crocheted left-handed, and that’s how they taught me. I crochet left-handed, but literally everything else is with my right….I don’t know why. My husband is a lefty and my kids are mostly righties. I have one son who might be ambidextrous.
As for the pajamas, I almost got that fabric for Christmas pajamas this year!!
My favorite pajamas are comfy ones. 😅 basically, it depends on the day and how my body is feeling, but there’s always something on.
Happy volgmas! 🎄 Happy creating 💚🧶🩷
I was inspired by your stocking so found some colorwork stockings with gingerbread folk since that is my theme. I am doing one for each grandchild. Thank you for the inspiration. In regards to your cabled sock, I was making a beaded and lace sock that I realized would never fit so I bound off and it is now a tall cup cozy!
i love men's elastic band pants with plaid designs. theyre thicker fabric and just feel so cozy. i just pair a t shirt or a tank with them as a top
Lefty😊 I knit mirrored continental, stitches are worked with my left hand needle. I hold crochet hooks in my left hand too. If a pattern is symmetrical, I read the right side rows left to right. The main adjustme ts I make are to reverse directional decrease stitches and if tbe pattern says "right front " I know that for me it is the left front. Pet peeve is when knitting tutorials say "right needle/ left needle". I would much prefer the person use "dominant hand/ nondominant hand". It would make things much easier for lefties.
My go-to winter weather pajamas are a set of mens thermal underwear in red, white, and green Christmas stripes. They are a perfect weight for my menopausal temperature issues. The set was on clearance, $3, and have POCKETS!
Im a lefty but learned to knit from my right hand grandmother. Since each lefty is unique i would stand behind herleft shoulder watch her and then adapt. 😊
I like nightgowns in a style in which revolutions were once fought. Sleeves are better than no sleeves but yeah, to hell with pants!
I like the throw over your head type gown pajamas!
I'm ambidextrous, with right dominance. I knit Continental with the yarn feeding from my left hand.
In the winter, I like sweatpants and a sweatshirt over a T-shirt. In the summer, lightweight cotton pants and a T-shirt, sometimes shorts.
Those spindles are beautiful!
As a functionally ambidextrous individual, I first taught myself to knit going right to left because that's what the instruction booklet said to do, and then a woman in my old knitting circle taught a bunch of us how to knit left to right in order to speed up our knitting because we wouldn't have to keep turning the needles around to purl. It makes it easier to teach my imps, too, as my eldest is ambi like me and my youngest is definitively a leftie. 😂 (As for pajamas, I actually can't wear them to sleep because the pants tangle around my legs and cut off circulation, so my criteria for pajamas is "can I pull them on in a hurry when I wake up and shuck them off easily to go to bed", which usually means pullovers rather than buttons.)
No pressure, No pressure... too funny... know the feeling!!!
I have a friend who learned crochet from her gran. Gran was left-handed, so my friend found it much easier to learn because she could mirror her gran across a table!
Funnily enough, when I started drop-spinning, I mirrored yourself and other folks on YT. I’m sorta-kinda ambidextrous, so it was awkward but not so awkward that I twigged that I was using the wrong hand! 😂 It got much easier when I swapped hands though!
I’m loving all the knitty projects! They all look so cozy and fun! All these creative projects seem to reproduce when you’re not looking, don’t they (as I give my own to-do pile the side eye…)
Oh your cables are wonderful... And i immediately thought of fingerless mits (it looked like the heel wasnt worked yet).. then you can show off those beautiful cables! While spinning and keep your hands warmer when you are spinning out in the woods.
Pj's. Summer it's a tank top and panties. Winter long sleeve t and leggings.
When I could knit circular things with double pointed needles, one day on the bus the needles kept sliding out of the knitting. So I started knitting on the inside of the item & the needles stayed in place. So I guess you could say I knit inside out.
Winter pajamas for me, sweatshirt for top and flannel with elastic for bottoms.
Nutty and alpaca? Looks gorgeous and sounds like heaven!
Lefties and knitting: a lot of us (me included) learn to knit the standard right handed way. That is how I do about 99.9% of my knitting. So I form new stitches, whether knit *_or_* purl, on the right needle and work right to left. Being one of those people who can do mirror writing with either hand and/or upside down, etc, I can also do left-handed continental knitting. (Left handed continental _purling_ still defeats me and I can survive without being able to manage it.) The thing about the left-handed continental knitting (at least when you've started off dong regular right-handed knitting) is that it ends up more of an "untwisted eastern" knitting style. Despite that, it is useful for things like bobbles and button holing, where I find turning the entire work around to do 3 stitches too aggravating.
EDIT: I learnt to spin on a wheel in the standard, right-handed (and right footed) way. I swapped over to the left foot for treadling when I broke my right knee, and although I can now once again treadle comfortably with my right foot, I find I tend to just go with the left foot. Recently, I've started trying to spin with a Turkish spindle and left-handed feels much more natural to me, so that's what I'm doing.
I prefer night dresses, lighter weight, short sleeved for summer and more comprehensive for winter if possible. In the very hottest weather I may sleep in the altogether, in cold weather I'll probably add a cardigan or jumper over the night dress.
This was another absolutely delightful episode of Vlogmas, thank you.
I like loose bottoms with elastic and oversized pullover top for pajamas in the winter. Sleeveless top and boxer style bottoms in the summer.
Hi, left-handed knitter checking in :) I knit left to right on the right side. I sometimes say I "knit backwards" as an explanation -- though I think people are more aware that left-handed/mirror knitters exist than they were when I started 20+ years ago, or even when I joined knitting social media, so I do it less. For following charts, it depends on the pattern -- I do usually follow it left to right (RS) and right to left (WS), if it's asymmetric, and just ignore the written instructions. Colorwork isn't too bad, but cables took some trial and error. I think lefties in general are often better at flipping around instructions and demonstrated actions to fit their hand dominance because it's so often something we have to do. And often lefties are less strongly left-hand dominant than righties are right-hand dominant, in a way that doesn't seem entirely just socialized from watching right-handed folks all the time (I'm also a scientist, so it's something I have been curious and read about a fair bit)!
Eve, never feel guilty for having multiple projects going. I have 3 spinning wheels and 1 spindle. Currently I have 3 different spins started. I have 6 looms, 3 weaves going ish. One is a weave for me that I started this January. It keeps getting bumped to the bottom of the rotation because the rest are gifts and mine can wait until later. And if I live to be 120 years old, I won't have put a dent in all the projects I want to do. But I still keep designing more, because it is fun and exciting.
My favorite pajama turned out to be a cotton summer dress from old navy with shoulder ties that I bought on sale in 2 different prints and is mid calf length, so comfy! I like pull on sweater knit lounge pajamas when its cold. Love your vlogmas!
I taught myself to knit backwards on a sweater project with large swaths of stockinette. I would knit a row from right to left in the usual way, right-hand dominant, then without turning the work I knit back from left to right with my left hand being the dominant one. It's kind of fun actually!
that's how I've been working on knitting backwards as well, except for me it's a shawl/stole project. long stretches of stockinette are great for working on techniques!
I have that same pattern and fabric to make pajamas 😂. We’ll get there. I like soft pj’s! Just make them soft
It's such a great pattern, and perfect for flannel, I think! 😊
I'm a lefty, and I often do simple patterns where it doesn't matter, but I've also modified patterns, and I make my own pretty often too
Winter is classic button top and pants pajamas preferably in flannel. Summer is short sleeved “dress” type nightgown in cotton.
My aunts and mom would exchange a pattern and copy it by hand. the last person to get the pattern got the original. your grandmother may have just wanted it to face that direction to go with others that would be displayed alongside it and drew it that way by hand.
Those puppy bobbins are even cuter with yarn on them!
Finally somebody else who mentions being ambidextrous! The things that I was taught to do, I do right handed and the things I took up on my own, I do left handed. You mentioned scissors but worse than that, back in the day all the irons were right handed so if you ironed with your left hand you could end up ironing over the power cord! 🙂
I never put that together and realized!!! That's why I would get confused at the ironing board and would switch from one side of the board to the other!
Yes, scissors are the worst for left handed people, sometimes painful. For ironing, I iron both left and right handed😂.
@sherylyoung2007 my brother is left handed. His Daughters are right as am I. I went and got one pair if scissors from his basket on the side of fridge to cut paper. I struggled to cut on the line until I realized I had gotten his lefty scissors and not the girls righties
Those _bloody_ right-handed irons. I remember them. The ambidextrous cord just makes more sense, whether the user is is left or right handed.
What would be even better is a robot that does the ironing for you. I hate ironing because I am so slow at it.
Lefty here---I pick with my left hand. My largest challenges are that when I use interchangable needles they tend to unscrew themselves while I knit and I have to stop to tighten them up every now and again when I feel my yarn begin to catch. My other hurdle is in trying to interpret patterns. I sit down with a pattern before I start knitting to work out the changes I need to make. It can be particularly vexing if I am trying a new skill the first time. It has prevented me from even trying some patterns. Yarn can untwist at times, as well. I find that if I use a yarn that is spun and plied "backwards" it eliminates the unraveling issue
My right-hand dominance started with scissors in kindergarten! I was coloring, and cutting was next, so I picked up the scissors in my left hand, put down the crayon, and tried to cut the paper. I told the teacher the scissors didn’t work. She saw the problem and gave me a pair of lefty scissors. I picked them up in my right hand, put the other ones down, and the new scissors didn’t work either. She had me switch again, and realized I was just switching back and forth without changing hands. She took the right- handed scissors and put them in my right hand, and they worked! I’ve always felt that was the beginning of being right-hand dominant. Although there are a whole bunch of things I do left handed that I can’t do right handed. 🤷🏻♀️
ps … don’t put me in the drawing for the spindle, ‘cause I don’t spin! I just love your channel.
🥰
You can learn to spin... I've just started spindle spinning, I find left-handed feels natural to me, despite spinning right handed on a wheel. So you can learn to spin left-handed if that feels more comfortable.
@ I’m sure I could learn to spin, but I don’t have any desire to do so. Thank you for the encouragement, though! That was very kind. 🥰
I just started knitting with a flatbed machine, but I am right handed. I like a pant or shorts and button top with a pocket ( need some place to put my insulin pump). Shiny on the outside and flannel on the inside.
My pjs lately are a tank top and pj pants
I wear either shorts/t-shirt pj's in the summer and "sweat suit" type pj's in the winter. I like elastic cuffs, so the legs don't ride up during the night and turn into shorts.
I knit "backwards", but not l-r backwards, apparently I k/p backwards. Will need to sort that out one day...maybe... 😊
I can knit "typewriter style," I can do back and forth, continental one way and I guess English going back left to right. With lace I just have to use my left hand and my right hand stays still mostly
Lefty here. When I learned to knit, my Mum tried to teach me the way everyone else knits. It didn't work. So she sat me down opposite to her and worked purl stitches and had me follow the tips of her needles. That worked -- and now I knit mirror. Confuses the daylights out of most knitters when they see it, because it looks like I'm knitting 'backwards.'
Was gonna say “But But… you HAVE angora yarn!!!! (I remember that video!)
Yeeees 👍👍👍👍👍
Lol, you remembered! 😄 All the yarn left from that project is blue, so I'll still need to spin more. 💙
i have always wanted to learn to crochet and knit but im left handed and until recently there were no instructors that accommodated that. funny thing: I am a phlebotomist(draw blood) and am Medical assistant. to draw blood and give injections i had to watch the teacher a righty, and then i had to reverse it for my left handedness. pjs: i like the softest stretchiest due to fibromyalgia most things hurt on my skin if too tight or rough.
On the one I repaired it went in the same way as yours. I always heard there is no "left" handed knitters because you use both hands. I wonder if she just read the pattern backwards 🤔?
I like men's soft lounge pants with pockets(they are longer) and a soft t-shirt
I like wearing sleep shirts, but if it is real cold I wear polar fleece night gowns.
I like loose shorts and a soft tshirt :D
Lefty dominant here. I knit continental. I do some stuff right handed but English knitting feels clunky to me.
First, let me say I love your purple plaid. So pretty! I usually prefer a tank top & underwear, or a strappy red buffalo plaid shin-length nightgown. I thought perhaps you would take some wool and do some thrumming for the beard. I'm so glad you were able to hunt down the pattern, hon! Hugs
My favorite pj's is whatever isn't restricting my movements (which I feel like botton ups tend to do), and doesn't leave my legs bare (which means no night gown. Btw. how do people sleep in them? They are so restrictive, and if you turn you end up getting it all twisted around you! 😆).
I'm left handed, and I realized early I had to really pay attention to charts and stuff like that to get patterns to come out correctly.
i am mainly left handed, but learned most things, like knitting/crocheting, but also playing musical instruments or idk using your computer mouse righthandedly. although i do feel like, especially for crocheting i do not "move the needle through the fabric" but i "move the fabric around the needle" so i still work with my left hand. but i hold the needle in my right. if that makes sense lol
okay i knit "backwards" as a left handed person. if i want the pattern to show up as the chart shows I have to read the chart left to right. otherwise I do get a mirrored image.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, fiber friend! 🥰🥰🥰
Love your channel🐑thank you
I like lightweight jersey nightgowns
I love how you hung your drop-spindles from the fireplace mantle. Did you take over the living room for your studio, or is this your family room?
@@davidkish9829 it's the family room. My family is very understanding. 😆
@JillianEve It's a perfect backdrop and space for your great, and informative RUclips shows. Love following you and wish you were my neighbor so we could spin together! Happy Holidays! Peace 🕊️
Did your Grandy knit the stocking in the round? I taught myself to knit in the round from book. The first time I knit a sock, I knit it inside out, which mirrored the pattern.
These were knit flat and seamed up the back. That's why I thought maybe she started the chart on a purl row and just kept going and that caused it to flip?
Firmly a nightgown person here. Can't abide trousers in bed. I like woven fabric and have a selection of sleeve lengths for different weather. Oh, and I make my own, nice ones are too hard to find to buy and easy to make.
Left handed, flicker/parlour style and I knit and read patterns/charts like the majority of the world.
I'll add I found it difficult to figure it out from RUclips - but sitting beside my mum (not in front of her but shoulder to shoulder) I picked it up in an evening.
I've always had the attitude that I don't have to do things "left handed" I'll always try to learn the standard way and then adapt if it doesn't work.
I play violin and guitar "right handed". You can't play in orchestra or ensembles when you face the wrong way!
Mmm, prefer top and bottom PJs like you are making. So if I get too warm🤭, I can switch to a tee shirt!! Be careful cutting your pattern to be sure some of your critters aren’t going the wrong direction. I’ve never done 😮that…..😜
My cousins' Grandmother knitted my cousins and me a similar stocking in in the early 80's- Angora beard + jingle bells😂. Majority of yarn must be acrylic because it is still here
I get tangled up in sheets and pajamas, so I tend toward just a loose t-shirt. I add flannel pajama pants in the winter, and running shorts if I need to be "decent" in the summer (eg there are houseguests or I'm visiting elsewhere). I tried to be the cute button-down girlie but it's just not me, and that's okay!
I wear nightgowns - it's a texture/sensory thing. I can't stand having pyjama legs creep up and bunch around my calf muscles.
I have a lipedema, so pyjama legs will a) hurt when they bunch around my legs and b) won’t fit me anyway. So team nightgown too 🎉
So i do knit left handed and in my experiences it depends a lot on how the pattern is written however a knitting “coach” who I won’t be working with basically said knitting left handed is going to result in “messed up patterns” i have knit a lot including cables and a couple “complex patterns” my first major color work is starting soon. And until that “coach” I had zero problems with patterns turning out to be clear I have done stripes. I think it depends on the lefty and how they learned to knit.
Button up front, and elastic waist pjs
I'm supposedly right handed but some things I seem to use my left for unconsciously. I am new to knitting and have been mainly using my left and am finding I am quite slow and awkward still, so maybe I should try with the right, but I can't figure out how to do that! Any tutorial recommendations for how to handle your knitting would be appreciated 😅
Left handed knitting/crocheting requires a bit more effort to learn at first, I think if you don’t have someone in person to learn from. It took a LONG time to start knitting & crocheting, and I feel like it was bc I didn’t see a lot of left handed tutorials (or I didn’t look that hard lol).
For the most part, I knit patterns as written and see if it looks messed up. If it is, I just do the pattern in reverse if necessary (instead of k6-increase 1-k9, I’ll k9-increase-k1). Otherwise if it’s something with a sibling (like socks or gloves), when I knit it based off pattern, I end up knitting the opposite side haha
Flannel gown
My mother was left handed. She knit continental style without making any special provisions.
My crocheting a super Mario blanket and currently all I have left is the skin and yeah there’s no good way to say that lol his flesh 😂
I'm left handed. If you watch me, it looks like I'm knitting the same as right handed. I finally realized I do have a slight difference. I lead more with my left hand but it really looks the same. I'm not sure that makes sense.
I knit left handed, so my knitting is probably backwards. I has for help once, and was asked if I was knitting backwards. So, my knitting is on my left needle. 😊
I am left handed and I knit in the usual way 🤷 Or at least I'm not aware of any difference 😁
2 piece pj's with stretchy fabric.
Wishing You & Family a Pleasant Holiday and a Healthy & Successful New Year. May there be Peace on Earth 🕊️
I do crochet not knitting but as a left handed person I just read the pattern going the how a right-handed person would and crochet in the opposite direction
I do not like wearing pjs in bed. Big proponent of nothing at all. For wearing around the house after a shower before bed or something where I don't want to bother with underwear though, I love me a good flannel nightgown. Or one of the flannel housedresses I've made. I used to like the snap up footy jammies with the elasticated bum flap when I was a kid but nowadays I somehow always end up getting tangled up in the sheets or a giant ball of static. Probably a fibre content thing.
I'm a left-dominant ambi myself but have little to add to the knitting discussion other than from what I recall of knitting (my hands refused to figure out how to purl so I gave up), I suspect you're right and your Grandy reversed the pattern because she was starting from the other side from how the pattern started. I learned to crochet right-handed the way my right-ambi mom did then taught my left hand to do it because it felt more comfortable that way. I have certain things that work better lefty and others that work better righty so I switch back and forth as needed and cannot cut anything in a straight line with either hand. My biggest issue with it is my brain doesn't really do left and right, I literally always have to think about it. Driver's side and passenger's side or your side/my side is how I do navigation in the car, and outside/inside always made more sense to me when I was horseback riding in an arena. If I pick up a pen and start writing with my right hand without thinking about what I'm doing, it comes out backwards, like, literally hold it up in the mirror and it's not much less legible than my dominant hand handwriting... but yeah I'm always trying to turn things the wrong way and I can't tie a square knot on my first try to save my life, because brain. And those crappy left-handed scissors they had in elementary school? They didn't work well in either hand. My Fiskars my parents got me in my teens so I'd stop borrowing my lefty dad's pair were the first decent pair of lefty scissors I ever had of my own and I only realized when I replaced them after hitting a pin with them during lockdowns where I couldn't get them sharpened that they're hinged righty, so I'm still always trying to look over the far side of my scissors when I cut things because I had to do that for thirtysome years with my own scissors.
I used to imagine playing my cello to remember right (bow hand) and left (finger hand). I totally get that!!!
a tshirt is my pj
Leggings and t-shirt or shorts and t-shirt as pj’s for me. I always feel the need to be somewhat dressed in case of the need for a quick transition. Maybe a result of bringing up three kids and being called into someone’s room in the wee hours for so many years. 🤷🏼
I'm a nightgown type a girl.
I'm guessing that you grand learned to knit Norwegian style. I have heard of people who knit one direction then instead of turning the work they do a Norwegian purl back the other way. You might want to ask Roxanne Richarson.
Maybe instead of "skin" or "flesh," we could call it Santa's "complexion"? Sounds a bit less macabre ^_^
I might go with that from now on 😅
First comment
