So interesting to hear what you’ve been up to and why we’ve seen you a bit less here on KZbin. Congratulations on this venture, I can’t wait to hear more about it. I’ve ALWAYS found that you explain things so well, and you just have such a relaxed, fun presence in front of the camera that you are a pleasure to watch. I could see the purple fabric making a lovely bodycon/ business sort of dress… professional and sexy? And with the blue lace and blue Lycra you could sort of mix sporty with sweet? Like a bathing suit with a skort coverup or tennis dress kind of look… very fun and inspiring to watch. I’ve just moved continents and unfortunately all my stuff including my sewing machine is somewhere on the Atlantic . I’m itching to start again. 😂

I don’t do well speaking to a group. I was just thinking how far you’ve come since Toronto when you were still learning. Darn, I. Just so exited for you.

SO annoying when you have to loop the yarn through the ends of rows. Are you sure that it's not because you started unraveling at the wrong side? I learned that a while back and usually it is the case that if you have to do that it's because you need to unravel from the other end. Maybe not in your case, don't know, but anyway cashmere is so worth the trouble!!

Is that the European way, to cast on at the top of the garment? When I was little (1960s, USA)my great aunt started to teach me, and she always cast on at the bottom of the garment. Is one way better?
@Lisamakes2 ай бұрын
Hello! Casting on at the top of a garment, or top down knitting, has become the more popular way to knit garments in the last 10-15 years. It was invented in the US and continues to be popular all over. It allows the knitter to knit a garment seamlessly, try on as they go to check fit, and judge the length of the body and sleeves based on how much yarn they have left. I would say 90% of my garments were knit top town. It’s not a case of better or worse, just personal preference. ❤️

I have a sweater that is wool, and it came from the thrift store. I bought it so I could pull the sleeves off of it to make legwarmers. This is when I just was starting to learn to knit and a friend of mine said let’s go to the store and we’ll look for some sweaters that we can salvage the yarn. Anyhow, I still look upon your KZbin and it made me remember that I have that sweater with its disconnected arms, lol, I am now going to frog that sweater. It’s a very nice wool. I very well now and I could make my own leg warmers from knitting, as opposed to cutting off the arms of a sweater. This is such a great idea! Especially for people who don’t have a lot of money to spend on good yarn, or even good acrylic yarn. I have a huge stash, of luxury horns, anything from yak to camel to Cashmere to good wool, which of course is not cheap. I just needed something to trigger that memory of buying that sweater, I will be checking out my thrift stores more often now. Thank you so much for this video and for the instruction.
