When you were demonstrating the grafting of the garter ridge, you said to do the "knit off, purl on" on the front and back needles both; however, when you went to repeat it you "said" the same thing, but when you did the first needle you did do the 'knit off and purl on" but on the second needle you did the "purl off and knit on" instead of doing the "knit off and purl on" again as you were indicating. In other words, you were doing the second needle like you would if you were grafting in stockinette. I'm assuming that this was an error?

For those like me who forget where they left off: Following on @deniselim9607's comment below: To pick up at the right place in sequence (when combining steps 1&2, then steps 3&4): if your yarn was left in back of work, then you are ready to do a knit off next (steps 1&2); if your yarn was left in front, then you are ready to do a purl off next (steps 3&4). Also, best way I've found to go back and snug up bound off stitches (if necessary): gently tug on the top loop of the top knot at the top edge of each knit/purl row. You may have to test a few strands before you find the right one, but once you do it great simplifies the snugging up process.

I have just been thinking about doing this when your video popped up. When I knit in the round I usually use two pairs of circular needles so I can see how easy it would be to do the helix stripes. It will be great for socks, especially as I have lots of leftover bits of sock yarn. Thank you for your video.

Hi. What about binding in helical striping?
@BrooklynTweed_OfficialАй бұрын
Great question! For a smooth bind off, we recommend ending your stripes and transitioning back to a single color before binding off -simply stop working the “stripe” color and overtake the join point with your main color, then continue knitting as usual.

If you’re using this decrease when working flat, do you follow this dec pattern on the wrong side too? Or just knit and purl as they are for the wrong side?
@BrooklynTweed_OfficialАй бұрын
Hello! You'd generally be working decreases on just one side of your work, with some rows in your ribbing pattern in between, so for example if you worked your decreases on a right side row, you'd knit your knits and purl your purls on the following wrong side row. Happy knitting!

Is it possible to use interchangeable needles to weave in a lifeline if I am using Magic Loop? I tried it but something went horribly wrong!
@BrooklynTweed_OfficialАй бұрын
Hello! Are you trying to carry along the lifeline with your needles as you knit (proactive lifeline)? You should be able to do this with magic loop, making sure that your lifeline is staying with your needle cable as it passes through all the stitches in your round (might have to do a little detangling at your loop areas). Let us know how it goes!

Spending a quiet 2024 Memorial Day weekend devoted to conquering stranded colorwork. I watched dozens of KZbin videos that left me more confused and frustrated. Finally I found this perfect one from Brooklyn Tweed and am on my way knitting a hat in stranded colorwork. I am designing my own pattern as I go along - nothing requiring me to catch floats. I am a thrower, so I appreciate your segment here on working the pattern with both colors held in the right hand. Thank you for this highly professional tutorial.

I've been knitting well over forty years and I feel it is time for me to tackle colour work. It took me over thirty five to knit socks and now it's a rare occasion for me not to have a pair on the go. So your video was important knowledge for me to know and understand. I've heard of 'catching your strand'. I think this is when you have a long stretch of one colour so you catch the second colour to see the strand being too long?? Hopefully you have done a video on this. Thank you. xxJane 🐑🌼

The stitch definition is surprisingly good in the darker teal color. Is that because of some yarn characteristic?
@BrooklynTweed_Official2 ай бұрын
It is! Arbor is made from Targhee wool from Montana & South Dakota - this finewool breed grows thick, plush fleeces with exceptionally elastic fiber, well suited for smooth worsted-style spinning. Combined with a round, springy 3-ply construction, the result is a yarn that's lively on the needles with fantastic stitch definition. :)
