Knitting Musings: My Thoughts on Machine Knitting
Переглядів 31Рік тому
Previously I used to get upset when people used a knitting machine and called it a hand knit or knitted hat. Truth be told, I think it was jealously (that these people could make hats and various items faster than me and command the same price). But a recent revelation while sewing made me confront my feelings head on and even change my mind. What are your thoughts on knitting machines/machine ...
Pattern Review Rant: Let's chat about what is promised in a pattern and how to leave a "good" review
Переглядів 43Рік тому
Recently I saw a review on another designer's Etsy account that floored me. We don't have to put tutorials in our patterns. I put them in mine to make sure that everyone can complete my patterns, but they're not required. Also, a quick search of my site, or any designer's owned media in general will likely give you the information you need to understand and complete the project. Lastly: what's ...

Most of my hat patterns call for half twisted rib and they all give the option to knit a folded brim. In this video I am going to show you how I knit the cast on edge together with my live stitches to fix the brim in place. This is especially helpful in hats for babies, toddlers, and children.

Paintbox Yarn Review from Knitting in the Park
when i knit i have all the stitches on the needle in my right hand in the pattern i am trying to knit it has notes tell how to make a cable and to drop the last two stitches off the left needle. does that mean i have to make the project left handed?
you knit fast. it is hard to follow you
I've used a hairdryer to get the same effect.
That cable is almost straight before you started.
it was because i was holding it, it was curling in on itself. If you don't believe that it works why not try it for yourself?
Turning the gas flame off would be a good idea!
You could totally do that for safety. I wanted to keep a consistent temp while trying this to remove a variable.
Thanks for sharing this video 🙏🌷🌷🌷
I thought... lifesaver!! Ive just frogged (for the..5th?!) 19rows of 200+ stitches...re-caught all stitches on my new needles and cable to realise "noo this is worse!!"....help! Oh thank goodness, a video to relax the cable.....ah... bottoms 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️to catch them all again...or persevere til ive increased enough for it not to matter 🤦🏻♀️😂 oh the joys!! Fab advice though, thank you!!! This will be VERY useful ❤️
Good luck! What are you making??
Wow i have this same machine and i cant find any info on it. I used it for years and loved it so much and tried to clean it once and now i have it in pieces ): i live in Los Angeles and have many repair shops around me and quoted me over $150😂 just bought a singer heavy duty instead and works just as well but definitely using the nelco was just something so satisfying while working on it.
ohh no I'm so sorry to hear that! I wasn't able to find anything really on this one. We still have it, it's just sadly sitting in my basement until I can find the time and energy to tackle this one again....well, that and get better at sewing.
Bom dia muito bom
Nice babe!
Hi from Texas! This is the first time I watch your podcast, and I loved the caos, your baby making cute sounds, and your dog asking for attention. I just want to share that I crochet, knit with needles, with a knitting machine,and with knitting looms, and I enjoy creating things using any of those tools, and sometimes I create things using two of those tools in the same project. I love the possibilities those different tools offer to my creativity
Ahhh thank you so much for connecting and sharing! It's so nice to hear your perspective and your thoughts. When it comes to knitting needles are you more of a straights or circulars?
looks good Mag
Worse than trolls.
Definitely
This is so handy! I like that you showed several different ways to wear a shawl.
Thank you so much! Did you have a favorite way?
You can also achieve this by holding it over your toaster 🙂
That’s very nice and interesting ty❤
This is excellent; however, I would like to see the finished product.
Can u do this for wood needles?
Hi. I just found your video and I see it's older, but hopefully you might see this. I am just now doing my cactus kit and I have a question that you could possibly help me with. For the flowerpot Round 8 states: Sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st; rep *6 times [30 sts] No problem here. Rounds 9-13 states: Sc in each st around. [24 sts] Where are they decreasing? I'm wondering if it's a typo or maybe I should do an invisible decrease? I'd love to have your input. Thanks!
I might be able to try to help. I don't have my kit any more so I don't have something to reference but comment your question and we can try to work together. If I don't have an answer I might be able to help get you in touch with someone that does!!
Plz uplaod totally twisted hate
Nice
for the actual guts of this video jump to about 4:30
shes like "wheres mine mom??"
You're on fire babe
Like the way this one came out!
Thanks for this video. I have my grandmothers circular needles and was ready to give up on them because the plastic was so stiff. Thanks again!
I rehab old machines...I live in southern Ohio, if we lived close I would love to get it working for ya, no charge...just enjoy doing it
Thanks
I do a lot of hand finishing to my machine knitted garments, and this method will be my go to cast off in future. Thanks for a great tutorial.💯
What cast on did you use?
I use a long tail cast on method for my hats.
These dresses look amazing on you!
thank you!
I’ve just finished a knitted shawl and this was an excellent video! Thank you 😍 also your dog is so cute! 💕
…I’ve never had trouble with my mom’s decades old bamboo needles. The oils of hands made them slick and gave a nice patina. I do prefer my aluminum ones because they are a larger size, and I like the click sound. But my mom’s old bamboo needles work great. I’ve never had splinters. Use made then smooth and hard and rounded pleasantly.
Do you have pattern for your beautiful Mütze pls?
As a beginner I made my first shawl in Aran weight unfortunately I ran out of yarn and it has now been discontinued but I can now see it working in different ways. The point sits just below my shoulder blades so I can use it as a scarf or a kerchief so glad it won’t be wasted.
So beautiful
Thanks, this was great ;)
I’m a beginner, I’m going to do all my hats this way. Thank you for Sharing
Do you have a picture of the directions ? 🥺😭 I lost mine
How do you knit this flat please
So sorry Matthew I'm just seeing this now. I'm not the best with seaming my pieces so I tend to knit in the round. I would hazard to guess though that you could apply the same technique to knitting the hat flat: Every other row you would do the opposite though. So if I'm using twisted knits on my odd rows, you'd use twisted purls on the even rows.
I’ve just finished making a hat with this yarn in the pink and looks the pattern I used also lol. If my niece doesn’t want it when she opens it at Christmas I definitely want it back. It’s warm and soft!!
I loved your ideas thank you
This is such a great video and I love the captions. Thank you so much.
Hi there thank you for the video. Have a question i have a circular needle with a like wire cable how can I relax it.
I just completed a sparkly shawl to wear with a sleeveless dress to a wedding. I had no idea how to wear it. Thank so much for this information. I’ve tied it behind making it look like a shrug and it looks fabulous!! Thank you!!
I want to make my stainless steel needles dull. How can I do that?
That is a great question. Is the reason that they are too slippery for you?
So when the pumpkins are done you're going to start whipping up tree skirts again?
Lookin good!
I cannot hear your audio
This was an early video of mine and the audio was quite quiet. I apologize. I'm going to work on a new version of this video and upload it since I use this cable in so many of my projects. Thank you for the nudge!
I put the captions on. Love this video, it helped so much.
