Thank you soooooo much for your very clear and straight informations!!!! I am a 73 year knitter, and still learning a lot from your excellent video’s. I live in The Netherlands. But you seem to live nextdoors! Love from Marijke
Thanks so much for this Suzanne - really interesting way of treating the increases for cable flare. I too used lifted stitch increases for a cable flare swatch recently; but the cables were different and so, therefore, was my treatment - but I shall definitely remember this way of working a 4 stitch cable - looked so neat and pretty. Ditto with the decreases at the top.
Ooh, I have been doing something somewhat similar, but not as elegant. I knitted into the back loops but more haphazardly! I love having my ribbing flow smoothly into cables and it is can be handy for that purpose too. Thank you for another helpful tutorial.
Hello Suzann, I hope all is well with you! I haven't seen any videos from you. Of course you deserve a break, but just checking & hoping all is well with you. Take care and keep healthy. 🌹❤
Tina, thank you so much for asking! I am well, just very busy with the classes I teach and summer time breaks. I appreciate your inquiry and hope all is well with you and your family. Happy knitting!! ❤️
Dear Ms. Suzanne, I greatly enjoy your videos design and layout. It’s easy on the eyes, full of detail and very informative. You are the Plato of the knitting world. I hope to see many more of your high quality videos in the future. I could watch your videos for days if left to my on whimsy. Sincerely -Isaiah
It looks amazing!😍 Thank you so much for your effort in making these videos. Then mean a lot! You are very appreciated, respected and loved🌸 I was wondering if it is possible to make a video how to keep a consistent tension in fair isle? Thanks to you, I am a continental knitter also. I am trying your technique that I hold two colors in two hands all the time but the color on my right hand is way more loose than my main left hand. If I tighten it, then my main color stiches are puckered...
Thank you so much, Clem, I appreciate your lovely comments. I have put your request for fair Isle tension on my to do list. And please let me know how the new technique works for you. ❤️
This technique is wonderful!!! Your demo is so clear! so easy too. The cables absolutely stand up much nicer than the regular knitting technique. I will definitely be watching the "tidy cable" as well. Thank you so much Suzanne!!!
Hi Suzanne- I started watching your videos (on a different account I have) to learn knitting techniques a LONG time ago. These videos are priceless in the info you have provided over the years. I notice you haven't posted anything in some time. Life can get busy- so understandable! Just sending you well wishes and hope all is okay! 🤗❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words and concern, VG! I've been very busy as of late with a big move from the west coast to the east. Once I'm settled in I will definitely get back to creating new videos. ❤️
Rebecca, thank you so much, I really appreciate your kindness! I've just moved across the country and it's been such a busy time for me. I anticipate being mostly settled by mid-fall and will really start ramping up on new videos then. I hope life is treating you well, many blessings! ❤️
Thank you for the tutorial Suzanne! I’m just wondering, do you have a tutorial on knitting ruffles? I know it is a matter of sudden increases, but how exactly? I really hope you can help me!!!! I’ve been dying to learn the guaranteed formula for perfect ruffles!!!
Q: so what is the difference between " Sequential Lifted Increases" and the traditional way of twisting the stitches? why do you increase when you can add them from the beginning. Bcz as far as I understand increases are done to widen the work but you swatch did not widen?
I don't even know what you're talkin' about and I'm convinced you are the queen of it. Obviously the queen. I really like that fancy-schmancy knitting you did. I wish I could do it but I have not got the first clue
Hi KaceeGreer, this is what this is about: a 36 stitch piece filled with several cables (like hers) will be much narrower in width than 36 sts of just stockinette stitch. So when you cast on, you'll only cast on 30 sts. Then on the first row, you'll be using two types of increases to bring the width up to 36 sts which will, for the most part, be cables cables cables all the way across. If you cast on 36 sts at the outset, and then began knitting all of your cables, the cables would suck in narrower, but the cast on row would stick out like a ladies full skirt. The practice of casting on fewer stitches at the beginning, and then increasing when you're going to start those cables is called "cable flare compensation".
@@TheDollyce gotcha. I understand that better now but this technique is way far off than what I know to try to do now and at which I still am unsuccessful. I just recently learned that I cast on wrong for the stitches I was going to start with. I like to understand a few things long before I ever try them.
@@kayceegreer4418 I understand what you mean. I've been knitting since 1971, and these new kinds of increases are totally new to me as well! I think we can pat ourselves on the back for trying new things! You're doing well by trying, even if you think you fail sometimes!
Hi Kacce! As Dollyce has already beautifully explained and answered your inquiry, let me just encourage you to begin where you are comfortable and expand when you're ready. I have so many videos for beginning knitters to master hand knitters and everyone in-between. I also have a Facebook page (same name) filled with supportive knitters at every level and we love to help, please join us! ❤️ And a big thank you to Dollyce, you are very appreciated!

You are so kind to say this, Marjke, thank you! I feel you are never too old to learn a new trick, I'm still learning too! ❤️
