    It's beautiful and I love the color! If you ever have to pick up with a small needle and switch to a larger one again, you can just change your right hand needle and keep the small one on the left, should make it easier to work those stitches! 💜💜

    I’m SO glad that RUclips recommended your podcast to me! Sometimes they DO know me! I loved, loved, loved how you presented this cardigan project. It was so much fun to watch you open your yarn package and then go along with you for the ride to the finish. I’ve never seen anyone do this. Excellent idea! The color of the sweater is SO good - suits you to a tee. It’s a gorgeous finished project and you should be SO SO proud of this knit. I appreciate your honesty on what you like and don’t like - and why 👏 I look forward to following your knitting journey.

    When I pick up the stitches with a smaller needle size, I will leave them on that needle, and then knit from the smaller needle onto the larger needle. So you have the smaller needle in your left hand and the larger needle in your right hand. This is a beautiful sweater! The color is amazing!! I loved seeing you go through the whole process.

    Thanks for your video! I am knitting this at the moment and found this video very helpful. In case anyone else had this issue: I got holes when picking up shoulder stitches using the standard "v" method, so instead I picked up and knit directly through the front side of the stitches. This made the chart pattern more continuous than what I tried before.

    First of all, I really enjoy your channel! Secondly, you are an AMAZING knitter! I have been in awe of your projects. As someone who is very new to knitting (almost 1 year), I aspire :) I had a quick question: when you block in the middle of the project, how does that affect when you continue knitting? Does that help in anyway regarding sizing? When you go to block the finished project, do you only block the new knitting? Or block the whole thing, re-blocking the previous area? Hopefully that all makes sense. Basically wondering if blocking mid-project messes up with the hoped-for size at the end and further knitting. Thank you!

    • @balancedskein
      @balancedskein  4 месяца назад +1

      @charlseygibson1537 thank you so much! The mid project block just helps me understand how the final piece will fit. It doesnt affect the rest of the knitting. I blocked the entire cardigan at the end.

    Hi! Random question. I just got into knitting and you're the first knitting influencer I saw with locs. I have locs too and was wondering if you had any advice about what type of yarn to get to make knitted garments that won't get cause lint buildup in locs.
