Good demonstration! I learnt this method from Hannah Thiessen in her slow knitting book. It’s quite comfortable and easy to manage. Put the starting thread at the base of the thumb, close to the wrist. Holding that thread with the fingers of the same hand begin winding around the thumb. Every 20 or so loops, twist the yarn (already wound onto the thumb) a small distance to the left and continue. When too large to keep on the thumb remove and wind into a ball shape.

Janine I love your Ranunculus, I have the pattern and yarn but am confused about sizing. All the ones I’ve seen are big and drapy but I’m cute (old) and cuddly (short and chunky 😂😂) so don’t want a big, flowy size. Yours is just how I want mine so how much ease did you allow ❤
@SkeinSisters
@SkeinSisters Ай бұрын
Hi Gillian. I knit a size 4 but my gauge was a bit tighter than the pattern called for so I knit the size 4 knowing I wouldn't have as much ease as the pattern said. I'll go and measure the ease on the sweater around the bust and let you know. I'm a 42" bust. Jx

Hi Cynthia. The yarn I used is Skein Sisters Romance, a merino / silk fingering weight single ply yarn in the colour Melba. I held it with Sesia Oliver which is a laceweight alpaca blend in the colour blush. You can find both of these yarns on our website: skeinsisters.com.au. We do ship to the US (yay!) but just remember all the prices on our website (including shipping) are shown in AUD. Thanks so much for your lovely comments. Best, Janine x

I have tried the R 3 times. Did you do a gauge watch before you started and then checked what size. People keep saying not swatch and there’s turned out fine. Just confirmation did you swatch before you started. Thank you for answering my question. I am so confused when I try it on after I make the patterns it is perfect then I am lost and stop.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear it's been a challenge to knit this lovely sweater. I absolutely did a gauge swatch and, using the yarns I loved, found my gauge was a bit tighter than the pattern suggested. I decided to make size 4 in the pattern knowing with my tighter gauge would give less positive ease (which was fine - I preferred less ease). I have a 42" bust. I also made the body of the sweater a little longer than the pattern specified. I'm tall and have a long waist and arms. I made the pattern using the narrow neck version and held a fingering weight yarn together with a lace weight fluffy alpaca. I would definitely recommend you do a gauge swatch. Hope that helps and good luck!

@SkeinSisters
@SkeinSisters 2 ай бұрын
It means to do an SSK using the yo and the next stitch. So slip the yo to the right hand needle, slip the next stitch to the right hand needle, then transfer them back to the left needle and knit together through the back loop. Does that help? Dx
@christinevalentine3373
@christinevalentine3373 2 ай бұрын
Yea, it’s a beautiful design! I really like Purlificknittetter’s version. For me, an easier way to work out the stitch count for the sleeves is to use your swatch to calculate the stitch count. If you didn’t do a swatch there should be enough stitches in the yoke to calculate the number of stitches to the even number (not a partial number) across 10 centimetres required for the ideal circumference for your arm. Not to worry about row gauge because you can recalculate decreases based on your own arm length or preferred sleeve length. Multiply the even number of stitches in your swatch by the number of centimetres for a comfortable fit and there you have it!
