YAY, giving a purpose to Math!! That's one of the things I love about knitting and designing knitted items. Great to see you back sharing your wealth of knowledge! Thank You!!
Super helpful! Anything that helps us knitters do something other than follow the tutorial move by move. Thanks for empowering our brains as well as our needles. Also hope your trip and holiday season were excellent.
Hello Barbara, Welcome Back and Happy New Year! Great video. I see so many comments on Rav from knitters saying they're no good at math, so they they won't even adapt patterns to fit themselves better, let alone anything as "frightening" as converting a pullover to a cardigan or vice versa. Then ask them to change a recipe from "serves 3-4" to "serves 10" and they're fine. Or figure out how to reduce the grocery bill to be able to afford more yarn - not a problem. I'm looking forward to more of these videos, and hope they'll be helpful for folks to start getting comfortable with branching out, because I believe it will make knitting so much more satisfying for them.
I'm going to try and figure out how to make it less intimidating. That said, you know me and garments ... those aren't questions I'm going to be able to answer but honestly, the principal is the same. Thanks for joining me for another year of fibery fun!
Yes, I like this kind of video. Love to see a summary of round yoke increases math. I know of a couple of formulae but it would be interesting. Also, the math of short rows. For the back neck and for bust shaping - how to. make a tube asymmetric
I'm glad you liked the video! The absolutely hilarious thing about your comment is that you pulled out two things that I pretty much know nothing about. I don't design or knit garments and short rows confuse me completely LOL. But I do have a book on short rows and if you want to check it out you can see the book look into it here: ruclips.net/video/i7YWn6nN_jQ/видео.html
Happy New Year! Why did I watch this while counting? 😂 I’m very comfortable with math and often change the width or length of cowls based on the repeats. I’ve also taken stitch patterns for socks and put them on hats-fun to see them at a different gauge.
The only thing that might make this video more clear for us new knitters is to have a sample piece of knitting to show at the stages where you are make adaptations. Of course that would have made the video longer but I would watch it!
I can't think of any way to do this because it entirely depends on each specific set of parameters such as stitch repeat, cast on, yarn weight, needle size etc ... With this specific concept, the only place you make a real modification is at the cast on.
Yeah, I totally need to get out my white board for this one. 😅 Sich useful information, but hard for me, a visual learner, to understand just the verbal math explanation. Will have to rewatch with notebook in hand. 😅
Thank you. This helps me conceptualize possible designs. I was ok with the math. Had to pause and rewind only once. A lot of this I did, but I got overwhelmed choosing too complicated a project like a full sweater. What about doing an official design class? I think even a Zoom class would have a lot of interest with aspiring designers. Finally, don't have my phone so I can't Google it, but what is a "tumped" duck?
So my business name is a long story but if you look at my logo and then read this: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tump#dictionary-entry-2 it might clear some things up. I don't know that I am qualified to teach a design class because my approach to design is kinda sideways and from a weird angle (based on discussions I've had with other professionals in my field). LOL
@@WatchBarbaraKnit My phone did something funny and I completely lost my comment. I think every designer is different. I took a design class from someone who primarily used Excel as their designing tool. Excel has never worked for me. I find it clunky and non-intuitive. But it works for her. From the videos I've watched where you talk about design, it's from a conceptual angle. For me, if I know why I'm doing something and where I'm trying to go, I can figure out how to get there. I can figure out the type of math I need to do to find the measurement that I need. I hope you'll think about it for the future. And I looked up the word t u m p e d. I wonder if it's an old word. Or a colloquialism. I'm from the Northeast, so I never heard the word. Interesting .
Double stockinette stitch is another way to knit a tube, but struggle to make a decrease, for example when knitting a headband, would like to make it thinner at the base of the neck. Any suggestions for that?
I really appreciate you sharing your expertise. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Knitting has SO MUCH MATH lol. Hopefully I can continue to make fun videos!

I'm so glad you liked the video! I've had a really great break and it's time to do more knitting LOL.
I love the idea of a tube mini book!
It's still in the percolating stage LOL.

I like math and I like ppl reminding people that knitting can have so much math. All hail the Tube!
All hail the Tube!

It is so fun to change things up. I'm hoping videos like this will encourage more people to do what you do!
Great!! A challenge. I love learning new things. Thanks!! Great video. 👏🏼👏🏼💖
You can do it!
I really enjoyed this video. I'll be replaying it often.
Cute hair!
Thank you! I can see needing to rewind a bit because I was a little all over the place LOL.
@@WatchBarbaraKnit I understood the video just fine. I'll rewatch when I'm playing with gauge on sweater patterns, which I do a LOT!
LOVE the new do! Yes this was a cool idea to think about. tubes. Hmmm. The math is very helpful and I will hope to give this a go!
Thank you! I'd love to hear about your experiments.
This was great information! thanks

Currently knitting a tube (first time helical !) watching RUclips about tubes. Maybe I should watch The Exorcist next, lol.
I haven't quite gotten my brain wrapped around helical knitting yet. I hope you're having fun LOL
Yeah, I totally need to get out my white board for this one. 😅

Writing something down is a great way to get something into your brain!

I'm afraid I have never run across double stockinette, is it like double knitting? I don't have any experience with that so no advice I'm afraid.
I usually change flat patterns to circular.
Another great modification that can be done.
I also knit all my dolls as tubes. They are all one piece
That is super cool!
The word "tube" no longer has any meaning after watching this video LOL
Yeah, it stopped feeling like a word pretty fast LOL.
