Thank you very much for sharing ❤❤❤❤

This is the way I was taught years ago. I needed a refresher, so, thank you!!!

I thought I was advanced beginner, but I have done cables, lace, DPNs, TAAT Socks, sweaters & as of today steeking for the first time.... so maybe advanced intermediate?

I’m starting my first cotton garment and I’m having a terrible time trying to get gauge. I’m very close to gauge using the same yarn and needles in the pattern pre-blocking. But post-blocking, my swatch grows by 20%, so I’m trying smaller needles and even drying my swatch in the dryer. Do you have any recommendations for meeting gauge with cotton yarn? (I suspect the designer didnt taking blocking into consideration).

You wound up the discussion very well and I appreciated the uses of each described well.

Hi there, Thank you so much for going out of your way to describe things. I love how much you talk. I am completely blind so I really appreciate how much you explain. I was definitely confused by these yarn weights when I first started knitting and so I really appreciate you clearing this up for me. Your videos are the ones that I listen to when I don’t understand something. Thank you for all that you do.

This is extremely helpful!!! I am not an absolute beginner, but I learned so much from this video! I am considering getting an interchangeable set. So far I just have a few sizes I have purchased for different projects and even a super cheap bundle of small ones that don't work well but we're all I could afford at the time and I made it work. I have been watching some great videos reviewing different sets. You can tell that she has so much experience and is able to tell advice that I haven't heard on other's' videos. I really understand my knitting better and why I would want different qualities in needles and in different situations from this video. I feel like I have been taught to fish instead of given a fish🐟 Thank you!

Hi, I went to buy this pattern on Ravelry, however I want to use DK yarn, I’m still newer to the knitting world, been crocheting for years, do you have any suggestions for stitch counts or needle sizes for if I wanted to make in DK instead of fingering? Thank you so much!

that is such a good idea!

Thinking of you and hoping you, your family and your birds are hunkered down in a safe location. ❤❤❤

I would call myself an intermediate knitter, not advanced because I am unsure of my execution. I mean, you can follow all the directions in a knit pattern, but if your tension is off, your edges are sloppy, your ssk's are wonky, etc., do you know what I mean? I am relatively new to your channel and fb group and am learning tons from you.

I took a 3-yr timeout from knitting until recently. I took a correspondence course to improve my tension and the feedback (which was perfectly accurate) was a devastating blow to my precious ego. Therefore, my first project back was an easy pattern (scarf) that I hope will stand out for the advanced technique. I recently got some great advice which is to "protect the knitting" so if the feedback makes you want to quit, then maybe find a different way to get feedback in small doses.

Thank you! How would I substitute different weight yarns for a crocheting pattern? I have a crochet cardigan pattern that calls for a 5 weight. I want to use a 4 weight. Thank you in advance.

Excellent instructions!!!

Hello Barbara can I just buy your beautiful shoot the moon pattern singularly ?

Your stole is beautiful!

I used the back of chairs to wind my wool many years ago (about 80 years ago)

You should never leave your knitting in the middle of a row. I was told this by mother.

Thanks for all the info. I have an off rhe wall question. On the WPI does the diameter of the measuring tool make a difference? i.e. a half inch cylinder versus a two inch cylinder? Thanks for the contrasting yarn in the demo. Like you I would only use the break test. Bleach messes up my breathing and working with fire and small amounts of yarn, even using tweezers, would be dangerous. Thanks for doing the research and sharing the knowledge. I learned a lot, as always.

Very well explained, thank you 🙏

“Spectacularly unuseful” love that expression

I'm watching his on catch up from the UK. I now so want to knit Reciprocity! I love anything complex and/or whacky! I also love knitting moebius cowls x

Thank you so much! Brilliant teaching , I can do it!! With love from Australia!

You are hilarious! I need to try to catch your next live video!😊

I am working on my 3rd Confundo. I love this pattern! Each is so different. 🩷. Thank you for designing it! 🙏🏼

Watercolor painting is fun and so is bird watching 😊

Quero te parabenizar. Pelo seu trabalho no tricô. Lindos os pontos bem explicativo.voce tem paciência nas explicacoes belíssimas. Continuo dando essas aulas magníficas adorei. .....minha nota no seu tricô e ....100....notas das explicações e 100...Também.

Zachwycająca chusta, masz talent kochana 😊

I always thought you could make Mobius by just knitting flat and twist when you see the ends together. I guess I was wrong-o. Will have to look it up. LOL

I missed the LIVE. Dagnabit!!

I missed the live again!

I had to dip a bit early, so I didn't see the demonstration with the mobius cowl and oh my gosh please make a video showing that, I wanna show my 8th graders so bad that's so cool

I bought this pattern and I am enjoying making this shawl. Thank you Barbara!

This was so informative ❤ wow 😮 💡 thank you ❤ I've learned alot today

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you I have had cones of yarn donated to me and they have no labels.

Great video! Thanks for all the information...

I have a pattern (cardigan) for #4 worsted and 11mm/8 needles. Love the pattern, just too airy for my liking. I'm assuming I can use this same theory to adjust the needle size as well. Going to give this a try , Thank You so much!!

Thank you soooo much for taking the time and effort to releasing this Swatchy Swatch pattern!! and then for explaining how you block it. Incredibly helpful 😍

You are excellent in the way you teach. Thank you so much!

Wonderful and understandable information!

Thanks for the most organized study to assist in determining content of yarn and amounts of yarn. Donated bits of yarn are most welcome and being able to measure with a reasonable result certainly helps in planning projects. Your research and sharing the results is most appreciated.

VERY helpful!

I didn't even get a minute in before I noticed your light sticks on the shelf. Are you perhaps a STAYTINY my friend?

Thank you! I finally understand.

No issue mixing grams and yards?

A wonderful refresher of my textile course!

So happy that you popped up in my feet today. You probably don’t remember me, but I am Sandy, and I am from Cincinnati. I once lived down the road from you in Northport, Florida. I hope you and your family have been happy since the move is the sunshine. Going to heat up my coffee and watch the video now. I hope you’re having a good week, and that your Monday was spectacular. Mine was kind of laid-back, the biggest event was that my groceries were delivered. I love those beautiful blue Kroger bags.
