@@christinabailey6900 that’s frustrating! I’ve found with some of these devices I had to wind the yarn around something to guide it properly and avoid snags. I’ve used doorknobs, thread holders from my sewing, whatever I could get my hands on 😆

So very much easier! Keep these tips coming y’all, I’m juggling school and inventory stock-up, but when things settle I’m going to reboot this series with updated tips.

Hiya! It always ends up shiny when I use a mold as long as the mold is very clean, not sure or if I’ve been lucky or what!

Maybe that’s why

Hiya! Yes, this is for exposed edges like scarves, not seamed pieces. But I do like this for when I’m adding a crochet border, because the crochet stitches are larger than the knit ones 🥰

They’re so much fun I had to force myself to finish other projects before I make more beads 😆

Very nice job. Thank you

Oh how neat I never thought of a wall mounted Amish swift, that totally works because they’re rigid and stable. I’m going to be updating these videos with more solutions and input soon, I’ll keep this idea in mind thanks for sharing!

Oh no I’m sorry! I forgot I never did a video for the fabric covered ones. I only make the hard shell plastic ones now. What I did was glue together two large clips on their sides, wrap a 1oz tire weight with a rectangle of fabric, and glue the fabric to the bottom of the clips.

Oh no! Well now you know and you have a backup!

To be honest I only do these edges when I’m not adding a border, and I’ve only carried color up the sides on projects that had a border, so I don’t have personal experience. But honestly I think it’ll be fine. I’m making a list of new videos to do and I’ll add carrying up the sides and test different edge techniques.

Happy new year! I’ve moved my studios around finally and am heading into a new season of content, stay tuned! Also, feel free to ask any questions or suggest any demos you’d like to see ❤

I want to but school is taking a lot of my time now. I’ll see what I can do!

Hiya! At around 15 minutes I show two of the manual winders. I would go for the Jumbo from Oregon Woodworking. It’s strong and handles the larger skeins.

Pull the 1st stitch either purl or knit-wise as needed to get either an open or twisted stitch as you prefer.

@@marismiscgiftshop Thank you.

Looks to me like it's slipped purlwise thru the backloop 😊

You’re welcome! I have found that I had one edge with regular open knit stitches and one edge had twisted knit, so pull the 1st stitch either purl or knit-wise as needed to get the type of stitch you prefer.

You’re welcome! If you are interested in testing the pattern let me know

Glad you liked it, thank you! Happy spinning!

I’ll have them listed on my website soon, I’ll post the link when they’re up!

I hope it works well for you! Happy crafting 💙

Hiya! That’s so cool, I love antique crafting tools 💙 the yarn I’m using is hand dyed, and is in the form it comes from the mill, one continuous loop called a hank. The hank is tied up for dyeing, and then to use it we have to either hold it on a swift, or wind it into a skein, cake, or ball. I don’t recommend working with a hank of yarn from a swift because they can collapse and tangle the yarn. It’s happened to me a few times and was so frustrating !

Hiya! I don’t think I did mention, sorry. I really need to update these videos! Mine are from www.stanwoodimports.com but they’re out of stock right now, and there are some other brands available on Amazon for cheaper. Happy crafting!

Bonjour! J'ai acheté cette machine il y a 2 ans. il n'est pas venu avec un adaptateur. J'ai acheté l'adaptateur sur Etsy.

Thank you! My dad is a photographer and he’s flying out in spring and is going to help me set up my studio so I can get back to making my vlog for y’all! In the meanwhile I’ll keep sharing these little projects 💙

Happy to help, let me know if there are any other topics you’d like covered 💙

Glad to help! Let me know if I can help work anything else

Thanks! Some of these will be plain some will be decorated with leather, or paint! More videos coming soon

Hiya! In my experience the Amish style doesn’t have issues in high humidity. Mine is about 4 years old, but it’s bare wood. Happy crafting!

Great suggestions, I’ll be sure to incorporate them when I update the video, and that has my wheels turning thinking about modifications for accessibility… I’ll look into that more. Thanks for the feedback, whatever you select I wish you much happy crafting!

Thanks for responding back to my message and I'm glad that I could be of help to you because you were a great help to me because I almost made the purchase but I thought I better see if there were any videos and my husband found yours so thanks again I will subscribe to your Channel if I can find it again and just so that you're aware I am a person living with a physical disability that's why I noticed things like the camera position and stuff like that and the reason I want the knitting machine is because I want to keep my dexterity going in my hands so that's why I'm really researching before I purchase one so thanks again and sorry for the long message. My name is Kelly.

Hiya, well met. You understand how gardening is some of the happiest hard work there is!

I abandoned it because I didn't have the patience at the time, but it's definitely on my list of things to pick back up at some point!

@@marismiscgiftshop I know the feeling. That is me and knitting but maybe I will do it soon. My crocheting has improved a lot. I think I can give it a go again if I have the needles already. I have some.
