I started knitting it already, the weather is pretty cold snd chilly here , i cant wait for the sweater to be done, again i dont know what to do without you thank you so much
Don't be discouraged. This is how all of us have learned. You'll get better with each project, and good for you for figuring out where you made a mistake.
I'm knitting a sweater for my father for Christmas! I'm only 18 and I don't have much experience; I do admit I messed up a lot... Once I got to finish knitting the 4 parts of the sweater, I didn't know what to do, but I came across your tutorials and they were so helpful! I just wanted to say thank you, I learned a lot from you an hopefully I'll be as good as you some day! :)
You are so welcome 67Charito and thank you for your kind remarks. I am in the process of making DVD versions of the programs and I will post a note on my channel when that is done. It's just a question of getting the time to do the technical work.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you'll come to cherylbrunette.com and join my email newsletter group if you haven't done so already. That's where I'm in closest touch with knitters.
Jee thanks it helped alot now i finished knitting and all is left is to put the bits together i watched your sweater finishing videos and it helped a bunch
Gosh.. I love your videos! I'm not a needle knitter (yet) but you make learning the process so much easier than anywhere else I've seen! (c; I watched this video to understand how to join seams nearly invisibly.. and my oh my - you did not disappoint! Thank you SO much! ~ Cindy
@PurdyBear1 Thank you! And thank you for asking for more information. I am going to start making videos again (this one is from 1992) and want to know what people are having difficulty with. Good luck!
that was exactly my question THANK YOU so much for such a fast reply. Being self taught, I have created some great items thanks to your videos. Have a great day! Michael
There are so many things I don't know either, but it's fun to keep learning. Of course you can knit the sleeves on a circular needle. I do when I'm working Fair Isle, for example. Sometimes I like the seams to give structure. Other times, it doesn't matter. I certainly like shoulder seams and bound off backs of necks (except for mall children's sweaters) to give support to hold up long sleeves.
Hurray! Here is the answer. Google "BOND Buzz 53" and that will bring up the newsletter that had this pattern in it. There's an excellent explanation of the technique on the first couple of pages with lots of pictures. They used to explain a technique first, then give a couple of patterns with that technique, so in this case, the pattern got separated from this explanation. I hope this helps you to do it because it's a very pretty thing.
When you start to think of "finishing" as a process that begins when you pick up the needles to start a project, then it becomes easier. It's not this unpleasant chore that happens at the end of a project, but an integral part of creating the project. Experience helps. And learning to think differently helps. This year will be the year that your "making up" gets great!
Hi Beth. Of course I recognize your name and you are so welcome. It depends on the pattern stitch, of course, and there is a formula in Sweater 101 on how to figure this out exactly, but if you're working in stockinette it's usually safe to pick up 3 sts, then skip the 4th. If it's garter st then you pick up a st for every "ridge" which is actually 1 st per 2 rows. Looking at Episode 4, Grafting at right angles, might help you understand it. I can't give a link here. YT forbids it.
You are so welcome Ylangzee. Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you'll come to cherylbrunette.com and join my email newsletter group. That's where I'm in closest touch with knitters.
Great video! Iv knitted some jumpers (badly) before and Im trying to get better skills. These videos are going to help me sooooooooooo much. PS: Iv started by doing a dog jumper so I can finish it quicker and see my mistakes without having to unpick an entire ladies jumper. PPS: Id love to see a video how to increase/decrease within a pattern - I always get it wrong.
Can we make the sleeves on a circular needle or magic loop? That way, we wouldn't have to seam them. I just found your videos and I love them. I have been knitting for around 40 years! I didn't know that I didn't know so many things about knitting. LOL Thank you so much for posting these.
Thank you, very useful videos. I knit a lot, quite complex stuff too if I say so myself, but my making up is just rubbish! My resolution for this year is to make it better!
A crew neck I knit in the round. A collar, which has a split in the front usually (but it can be at the side) is knit back and forth. 1) no such thing as a dumb question. 2) I'm not sure I understand what you mean but this is the answer to what I think I hear you saying.
Is it the sleeve to this same sweater with the mock-cable edge? Where is the sleeve tight? In the armhole? Cuff? All the way down? Let's see if we can track this down.
After that comment I thought of something else. I was able to contact the designer last night. She is going to look at the pattern this weekend and see if she can help us understand it. I'll let you know what I learn.
Thank you so much, Cheryl, for sharing so much with us! I'd be so lost without your videos! I'm HK-ing a kimono-type adult sweater (then I will have the schematic to make it on the Bond!). The instructions do not say how deep the armhole should be. It is simply six rectangles (back, two fronts, two sleeves, shawl collar). Do you have a recommendation for the pick-up-and knit ratio for the sleeves? -Beth from FB & Yahoo! USM groups
You are so welcome. And thank you for watching and commenting so kindly. I hope you'll come to cherylbrunette.com and join my email newsletter group if you haven't done so already. That's where I'm in closest touch with knitters.
Hi Cheryl I love your videos! They have helped me immensely. My dumb question is after picking up around the neck , do I knit in the round for the collar or turn and go back then sew the seam? I had to rip back too many times. Thanks!!
I need the directions for the "mock cable" you're trying to make as that term can refer to several different kinds of sts. To "reform" a stitch is to use the latch hook tool to change it from a purl facing you to a knit facing you. Consult "Meet Your BOND," the section that shows you how to do a ribbing by reforming every other stitch in a long column.
Chegou no momento certo Minha maior decepção é qd tenho q costurar... vou seguir esse método seu com certeza minha blusa vai ter um acabamento de primeira Obrigada...
Nuray . . . I'm not sure what you mean by "motif." Perhaps the pattern? I don't have any patterns available, only the book that helps you translate all patterns into your circumstance.
Thanks Genevieve! This is an old video but it was adapted from my best live class at my old knitting school and the techniques are still very good. I hope you'll come to cherylbrunette.com and join my email newsletter group if you haven't done so already. That's where I'm in closest touch with knitters.
PRoblem, i have discovered that one of my sleeves is too tight! What should i do to fix it that takes less effort i dont want to rip it apart coz it took me a long time to do it
Thank you JACQSIErae, for your comment. I really enjoyed making the videos and putting them up on RUclips a generation later. It tickles me that they still help people!
So I've spent the last 15 minutes looking at this. I think there are some problems with the instructions. For one thing you work it over the end 11 needles (9 sts) and not 5. Also the chart does not look like the picture. I have not been associated with BOND America for nearly 20 years and I don't provide pattern support for them. It would take me some time to figure this out, if I even could. I suggest you contact BOND America for help. And I'd be curious to know what they say. Good luck.
Ok . . . now let's not panic. It's only yarn and it can be ripped out and redone. That's not as awful as you might think. I've probably ripped out more than you have knit. Is the tight sleeve the same size as the OK sleeve? Does it have the same number of stitches? It might just be that you counted wrong, in which case you might need to rip out and make it again. That's faster and easier than trying to fix it by adding another panel. Is it already attached to the sweater?
No its not attached to the sweater coz i took it off, the problem is that the nuber of stiches is wrong, i miss counted it big time, now i will start ripping it and start again :(
Just write bond america cable edge sweater in google it will be the first link , i cant give it to you coz youtube are not allowing links in the comments. P.s. i am cuteprettyme7

FANTASTICO ! Fantastic!
Thanks
What did you do with the start tail you get, when you cast on stitches please?
If I understand your question properly, I just work the yarn ends into the seams when I sew up at the end.
Wow, this is really helpful, Thank you!!
Dear Cheryl,
Is there any place where I can find motif?
Thank you and best regards
