Really useful video! I'm definitely going to refer to it later if (when...) I get into knitting.
Thanks! It's only a matter of time! 😀
I think I mentioned this in a comment last night, but I'm gonna try loom knitting first. I'm definitely intimated by using the needles & patterns! I feel like I'd follow charts more easily, since I'm a visual learner, but life can surprise you 😅
As a non knitter and just a cross stitcher these patterns seem crazy!
I strongly dislike charts, and have been hugely frustrated and struggling with a cable-knit scarf pattern that is only charted, just this past week or two, but thanks to your video, I think I’m finally equipped to properly transcribe it to a written pattern. Perfect timing! Thank you!
Oh that's brilliant! Really happy to help. This is the thing, everyone's got their preference but if you can at least *understand* the other one, you can work with it in some way
This was fantastic! Thank you!
Thanks, hope it helps a few people :)
Thank you for a very informative video! I tried to learn to knit years ago but never picked it up. I am looking forward to a crochet video along the same lines. Will surely have questions then🙂
I better get to work, then! 😅
No hurry😉@@TheGiddyStitcher
Ahhhh, you have the exact same model of Bernina as me. I have never seen anyone else with an Activa 140. Cool!
It was an amazing explanation of chart patterns, for the first time I have courage to try to follow one. 😅
Ah this makes me so happy! Good luck, you have absolutely got this! 🥰
Would definitely like a crochet version please. Not that I've tried to read a pattern yet.
Ok ok I take the hint! 😅
Do you do knit intarsia knitting I need help😂
Have to be honest, I've only done intarsia a couple of times so am by no means an expert. There are plenty of great videos out there though from people way more knowledgeable than me. Sorry I can't be more help! 😅
I have been knitting awhile and patterns can still throw an “ old timer” off……..pattern work can still be a bit sticky at times and so appreciate when they give both written and a visual……the ability to visualize the look of the work reminder is also helpful……before I forget …Do You by chance follow KoolKookyKreatures…….her archive of different projects/ works reminds of your eclectic style!
I don't but will have to check her out. "Eclectic" is certainly me, haha! And yeah I love when patterns give both options, especially sometimes things can be a bit more ambiguous in written form so having a chart or other visual to check against is really useful.
Do you knit intarsia knitting I need help😂
@@angelalewis233 so sorry I do not…..I have tried fair isle many years ago…..and found it interesting…..intarsia looks interesting…..I recollect seeing it on a flat surface Christmas stocking …..that was then sew up the back side…..
