my hot take: sentro machines aren’t knitting machines, so i agree that it’s not REALLY knitting. but an actual flatbed knitting machine? yeah, good luck trying to draft a pattern, work the yarn on the machine so it tensions properly without falling off, learning to correct your mistakes, and then seaming everything up. hell, the majority of outspoken crochet and knitting girlies are constantly whining about how much they hate seaming, so clearly it’s a valuable skill!
I don't know that I'd want you to intentionally pick a tacky pattern, but it would be really cool if you did a video talking through different strategies for altering patterns for one's own preferences.
EXCELLENT IDEA!!! Thats definitely a much better route because the last thing i want to do is offend someone’s design. Thank you sooo much for the suggestion. I will get started on that video asap! 🥰
Yayyy!! 🤗 But due to popular demand, im not going to label anyone’s pattern as tacky. Im just going to make a video where i share my favorite modifications. Stay tuned!! 😆
Oooff!! I would’ve probably been so upset too if my knitting needles broke off the cord like that!! It was great hearing all these hot takes!! I think the quality of yarn can make or break a granny square in my opinion 🤷🏾♀️
It was the WOOOOORST!!! 😭 but i learned my lesson. Thanks so much for watching the video. And thats an excellent take, yarn really does make a HUGE impact on granny squares!!!
Emma in the Moment have really opened my eyes about fiber drama XD I did not know there was so much drama.. XD but I agree, all communities have drama Also I'm glad you didn't just includes comments where I'm mean :P I can agree with the analogy with the hat :P I would def pay 20ish for a hat, that took you 30 minutes to put together and sew in ends :P
Yes!!! Her channel is sooo enlightening!!! 🤯 And i didnt think any of your comments were mean. Im so grateful that this youtube community i have is friendly and open to other’s opinions! 🥰
I loved this video so much! Also Emma definitely opened my eyes to the fiber arts drama and I’m always keeping my eyes open for more tea lol Btw Emma uses they/them pronouns
I rather disagree for the video pattern : having a written pattern and/or chart (plus on or 2 pictures) is good enough. Having a video is a nice bonus, but it being the norm seems superflous. Making a good video to explain some stitches/technique is a vastly different knowledge than being a good knitter and pattern writer. It is a really big step to take. And this extra work : planning, filming, editing, adding effect, will take a long time, and would need to be compensate. So the price of the pattern would need to increase, in a world where the pattern price is already really low compared to the work it need. My personnal hot take : I like straight needles. I got the advantage of using circular needles, but the cable, when he is juuust a bit too long (like when you work flat) make loops, and that really annoy me. Plus the movement of knitting feels different with straight needles. The straight needle make a little up-and-down movement that feel so nice, so trully knitting, while circular needles just make a little back-and-forth left-and-right that is really not the same. And because the needles are attached together, I feel more restrains in my movement.
I totally agree! A video is a cool cherry on top, but totally not required. And oh wow!!! If im being honest, i’ve never knit with straight needles, so i have nothing to add. But that does seem like a very hot take. I know exactly what annoyance you’re referring to with circular needles, and i know some knitters boil the needle wire to help it relax a bit. Im not sure if that could help with that issue. But either way, it sounds like you have a good thing going with straight needles and thats awesome!!!
I've only ever written one pattern and it's free on Ravelry for three reasons: I did not do test knitters way back then, I did not hire a tech editor, and because it was a recipe/technique from someone else who didn't want to write the pattern out. (I'm on Ravely as HollyHobbies) Which means maybe I'll do a video on it, but as a few pattern it shouldn't be totally expected from the download. What you get from a pattern totally depends on the price and/or whether you're a new designer trying to build trust/entice customers or as a thank you from experienced designers. I personally think it's awful to expect the sun and the moon from a free pattern. It's a little crusty honestly. Likewise, if I'm paying $5 or more, the pattern better be decent. I'll let some stuff slide for say, $1.99 but I've paid over $7 for a poorly written pattern and that just felt rushed and greedy. But unfortunately there are no refunds for digital downloads. 😒
@@StitchesGonnaStitch soooo true!!! Once you purchase the pattern, you’re stuck. Only a handful of times have i bought a pattern and had no clue how to complete it. For the most part, i’ve had great experiences with free and paid patterns!! ☺️☺️☺️
Pick a tacky pattern...ouch! This sounds like an eye of the beholder subject that could take you down a rabbit hole leading to places you might not want to go.
😂🤣😆 love the biblical reference! But yes, based on other comments im taking a different route. I will just be sharing different modifications i’ve used on patterns thru the years! 🤗
Thank you so much for watching. Yes, someone else commented letting me know that also. I guess i don’t watch enough of their content to know that. But thank you! 😊😊😊

also i hate video tutorials. 😂 i will die on that hill!
😳😂🤣 WHAT??? I’ve NEVER heard that hot take. Why do you hate them???
For a tacky pattern remake consider using a vintage pattern. It could be something obviously dated.
Thats an excellent idea, I've been wanting to complete a vintage pattern for a long time now!
