I have a little tip to add to this tutorial. When turning from the knit side to the purl side, before you slip the stitch to the right needle, place yarn in back before slipping the stitch (as if to knit). Then pull the yarn up from the back, over the needle to tighten the slipped double stitch. This keeps the GSR stitches symmetrical. I just learned this after 10 years of wondering why one side my sock heels looked different from the other.

I like this idea! I might have to try it with my current projects. Dont have to twist the yarn as much, so its easier to pay attention to the yarn dominance 😊

This was so so helpful! I'm knitting my first sweater and the pattern has us knitting short rows a quarter/third of the way around in the round, but instead of making a wedge, it somehow has us continually knitting in the round (I think it's doing the longer rows to shorter rows). I've been getting so lost because the counts are seemingly arbitrary, and this video just clarified what I'm actually doing (and also questioning why the pattern doesn't do it this simpler way lol). Thank you!!

This was really helpful. I couldn't figure out how to resolve the short rows that keep getting longer until I watched your tutorial. My pattern is the same longer short rows patterning and I was getting so confused by other tutorials because their short rows were getting shorter and my head was about to explode. Thank you! ❤

@flynnknit - Hi Courtney. So I've done my short rows on my first two summer sweaters. I'm working in the round in stockinette. My resolved short row turns look ugly on the stockinette (RS) side of the work. The stockinette stitches don't create a straight line from round to round, there are small holes (my turns are staggered, not stacked) and there are bumps on the RS. My saving grace is that the turns go from the under arm to the back as the short rows lengthen and the wedge is created in the sweater front. But it bugs me that it looks so ugly/sloppy. As I viewed your video again, a number of questions arose. 1) how far over should the double stitch be pulled? Is it only half way around the needle or all the way around til it touches the back side of the row? 2. If the ds isn't tight enough, is this the cause of the wonky row line? 3) Is a loose ds responsible for the small holes after the ds is resolved? Is this why I've got a bumpy looking right side? 4) the first short rows turn ends up with the ds on the purl side. But is it correct that it's resolved on the stockinette side of the fabric as I come back on the next stockinette row (row 3 of gsr). Finally, I cannot find a gsr tutorial video that shows what the back side of a ds looks like as it's created. Can you clarify what both sides of the ds look like before moving on? Can you suggest solutions to my jagged stitch line as I resolve the ds in each round/row? Will blocking help? Does the yarn fiber and weight make a difference?
@rebalspirit25 күн бұрын
@@flynnknit- hi again Courtney. I pulled out some scrap yarn and worked a 30 stitch back and forth gsr gauge. I've figured out why my stitch line isn't straight at the ds turn. That's due to the shaping and bending of the fabric due to the short rows. Duh 😅😅. My fabric didn't look as sloppy at the turn point, although it is a noticable worked ds. I still await some affirmation about the turn and ds. But I think I got a bit more confidence and an answer about practice, practice, practice. Thanks for listening.

Hi, this is incredibly helpful! I am knitting my first Summer Tee and it suggests using German short. It is optional but I feel why not learn it now? I am a person that can’t stand the neck part of a shirt right up against my throat. I have watched several KZbin videos to try and understand why I am doing what I am doing. Your explanations are very easy to understand and the different yarn colors helped me tremendously. I have subscribed to your channel to see what other helpful videos you have and will have. Thank You!
