    Hi friend! 😊 I’ve been doing this type of knitting for a few months, but every time I do a blanket, all of the edges curl under. Any idea why? How to fix it?

    • @GoodKnitKisses
      @GoodKnitKisses  5 лет назад +2

      Jess Creatives hi Jess!! Yes. A knit stitch repeated over and over makes stockinette. Think stockings and how they roll or the raw edge of a cut t shirt. The stitch that fights that is the purl stitch. So you have to have a sort of even combination of Knits and purls on the front to make it lay flat. Check out the purl stitch on the video. You can make your Row alternate knit and purl and the next row lines up to creat a rib stitch. Or you can have the next row offset this which makes a seed stitch. I recommend making it 3-4 rows to fix that for the bottom and top edges. The side edges can also be fixed. You can use at least the side 3-5 stitches for that. Also you can alternate a whole row of knit and a whole row of purl and repeat this a few times to make a garter stitch. Any one of these on the borders will fight the curl and leave you with a nice border. You may not need edges with a border though if you are sewing panels together to make it a circular piece or a wider one. It’s all up to you. ☺️

    • @GoodKnitKisses
      @GoodKnitKisses  5 лет назад +2

      Go to min 02:56 to jump straight to the loop purl stitch and check out the sample using combinations of knots and purls. You can use it for borders or an entire project. Purls can also be used to create a pattern like placing a heart in the middle of Knits too.

      Lauren Studnicka you can actually work in a giant circle if you like and then you never have to seam it on the end or work your yarn back and forth. I’m including two links below.

    I make scarves for a side business....is there a way to tell how much yarn you'll need for a project? Most of the loop yarns are smaller yardage, and I usually use quite a bit for a hand-loom made scarf, upwards of 180-200yds. I'm not sure how to figure out how much I'd actually need per scarf.

      I'm thinking work in a spiral. And maybe better to work bottom up because k2tog is going to be easier than increasing. Yeah, you can pull 2 loops through one, but that middle piece connecting the 2 is going to come through too unless you anchor it down beforehand.

My yarn is solid gray so calling it by color was a strange way to teach unless I had same color yarn. Some ppl probably do fine learning this way. Just not me. 😂 Was just a bit confusing. So, I came back here, got my Loops and Threads out and I’m following along. In 15 min of watching your video, I think I’m ready to make the cowl you just posted. I’ll check out the link now.

      Jessica Braunscheidel that’s a great question! There are ways to repair knits with holes but of course yours is unique if using the Loops yarn. You could use traditional methods and just take some extra loops in matching yarn, cut the pre-stitched loops open, and then sew it in to mask using those methods. However I’d be interested to take a look at what yours looks like to see if i can help. If you can please write to me via email I can attempt to recreate it and fix.

    Why would you need to decrease and increase with this yarn you’re just making blankets and scarves they the same size is this for a particular project that you would increase and decrease?..Also with this particular Yarn because it’s fluffy and bulky those different stitches don’t look good the cable doesn’t look good at all but that’s just my opinion thank you for the tutorial this Yarn is amazing

    • @GoodKnitKisses
      @GoodKnitKisses  5 лет назад

      You would need to increase and decrease in a row to get certain stitch patterns to appear even if just a blanket. it is the same for any other pattern. Here is a tutorial using the same yarn to get a chevron or zig zag stitch pattern for a blanket. ruclips.net/video/2dVAI6X1Fyk/видео.html
      I agree the stitches look quite different than what you are used to due to the bulk of the yarn and also seeing the thread stitching it to get the big loops. Actually the purl stitch can look more tailored (for use in the cable) if done more like how it is done in loom knitting. However it takes more time to do it that way. the benefit is that you wouldn't see the thread connecting the loops that way but it is more time consuming so we did not teach it like that in the video.
      I'm glad you like the yarn. Personally i think it is a great way for people to understand how the stitches in knitting really go together. it is much easier for kids to see as well and generates more interest. Thanks for watching and all your feedback. Great questions!

      Yes. You can cut open a few loops and weave in the longer tail as you would in knitting. The way taught above was as suggested by the manufacturer but I prefer without the thread. However for something you want really secure, but don't want to add any bulk, this s a great option. Great question! :-)

      Jon Campos my first thought was yes on the zippy but it’s just a bit too tight. If you have an XLG 3/4” spaced peg loom it should work. Honestly I’d just use that if you are wanting something to hold the live stitches or work something stockinette for a while. The purl is easier using the technique in the video.

      Kim Howell it’s the same as knitting but without the needles. When you push the loops thru the loop from the previous row you are “locking” the stitches in. You can wash it the same way you wash all knitted garments.

    • @GoodKnitKisses
      @GoodKnitKisses  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Kim! (Thank you Kimberly!) She is right. Yes they lock in with each stitch. At the end you will use the bind off method used in the video which basically makes a chain across by looping through one stitch over another at the top and end at the yarn tail and pull through. Hope that helps!

      Cayla Taylor this Loops & Threads Loops Boucle yarn is totally exclusive to Michaels. It is their brand of yarn. The other ones you have seen are different brands but also they are a chenille type of yarn. Totally different look and feel. If you can get to a Michaels store and see in person you will see the construction of the Fiber is different. It is a Boucle style in a knit tube for bulk, AFTER that it is looped and stitched to get the loop effect. There are 3 other brands on the market (might be one more) but they are all a chenille type that has a single thread running too with the Fiber around that and then it’s stitched with the loops. It has a different look and feel to the projects; it’s just that they both have the loops pre-made in about the same gauge (size of stitch)
