Another fabulous technique Tuesday! Clear to follow and excellent explanation. You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks very much!

Oh Roxanne! How elegantly thought out and executed! I mend my sock soles by knitting on a long patch thusly, but with the totally kludgy side attachment of picking up a st then ssk or k2tog. You have just changed my socks (and life 🤗) for the better! Thank you so much...

Roxanne, you are amazing! Your wealth of knowledge and ability to explain are wonderful! Teaching is a separate skill from doing - but you need the skill in order to teach….not to mention the camera work. Thank you - I believe I can repair a favorite old sweater thanks to you!

I love this! Sort of like afterthought intarsia. You can also pick up the first row of stitches with the knitting needle, just like picking up stitches at the edge of a piece of knitted fabric. It's easier if you flip the piece toward you after inserting the needle so that you can see the yarn while wrapping it before pulling it through to make the stitch.

Yep, that would work. Often, you have access to the back side (room for your hands) but might not be able to see. The hook can improve the odds that you'll catch the yarn!

Excellent tutorial, I’ll have to watch again when I’m ready to fix a hole in a knit sock!

Excellent 'fixit' tutorials. And by the way, I forgot to mention, I love that you are clearly displaying the TKGA Master Knitter on your videos.

Very interesting way to patch. I can see some uses I might have for this! 🤔

@stephanieselb8329 10 ай бұрын

What a great coincidence! I was out of town visiting my mom and had brought socks to darn. I started a patch on one sock, picking up stitches on either side along heel increases. Now I’m home and find your video just when I needed to figure out how to attach straight sides and top on my patch! I would not have been able to finish my patch without you! Thank you for this excellent, easy to follow video.

You could also use this technique to create a patch pocket. Just bind off the top rather than grafting it to the fabric.

Thank you Roxanne. Excellent tutorial. I’m just adding a patch pocket on some doll clothes for my granddaughter and struggled with the issues you discussed I.e. tension issues on the edges and the first row.

Just the motivation I needed. I have a Starmore sweater, Filey, that's developed a thin spot dead center front of the chest. Been this way for 3 yrs. Watched countless repair videos. After watching this video it's time to sit down for 15 min. & get it fixed!

@louisalowry6229 10 ай бұрын

After I saw this on you Casual Friday podcast I decided to try it on a tube of knitting - wrist warmer with a thumb hole - to add a bit of fabric to cover the base of the thumb and just cast off the top rather than graft it. It worked wonderfully although my neatness needs a bit of work. Then I used one of your sewn bind off tutorials to match my long tail cast on!! Thank you!!☺️

Simple and elegant--so why is my mind reeling?! Whew. I feel like i have even forgotten how to graft! (I love grafting.) I will definitely watch a couple more times before even trying. I, as well, thought of the patch pocket. Would be great for tiny "unusable" patch pocket - - watchpocket style, or something on a baby sweater.

Try it on a swatch, first! :-)

I have not.

@nancyhughes386 10 ай бұрын

Great tutorial! Thank you! I have a hole to patch in 2x2 rib. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it? Would this technique work?

@RoxanneRichardson 10 ай бұрын

It should work, in theory. You have nothing to lose by trying! You could try on a swatch first, to make sure, or to compare different PU methods.

@lindanieft2957 10 ай бұрын

Wonderful explanation for stockinette patch. Do you have a method to patch or reconstruct a garter stitch hole? My granddaughter caught her EZ Surprise sweater on something and it broke the yarn and several garter rows came undone in the middle of sweater. One row had 5 stitches pulled out and two rows above had 7 stitches pulled. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@RoxanneRichardson 10 ай бұрын

I don't have anything, sorry. So much depends on the specific hole situation. If you've only lost two rows, you might be able to capture the live sts above and below, and work a garter stitch graft, which would replace the two lost rows.

@christineboyce988 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for showing this patch. I have question, if the yarn at the hole is not worn, can one fill in the missing stitches or is that type of repair unstable ?

@crystald3655 10 ай бұрын

You can. I've fixed a hole by weaving in duplicate stitch for about an inch and continued the pattern acrossed the hole and continued on the other side for about an inch as well. Granted it was a small hole in only one row and only a few stitches larger holes will need a different method.

@RoxanneRichardson 10 ай бұрын

YOu can stabilize the sts in a couple of different ways. Duplicate stitch is one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGGaqq2VoNqIbrM If you don't have the same yarn, and you want it to be less visible, you could reinforce on the back side. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2rRf56ngd2Xnqc

Would knitting through the back leg of the pick up row (at 7:28) prevent the twist in sample 1 so that it looks like sample 2? It's so very helpful to see exactly how to attach the sides and graft the top. 3D visualization is tough for me. I'm sure I'll be referring to this video often.

@RoxanneRichardson 10 ай бұрын

The problem with the pickup done through the right leg is that the pickup is done on the surface of the knitting, and not through the fabric. I can't always visualize what something would look like, either. It helps to knit up a swatch and experiment with different ideas so that you can see what happens. I would suggest picking up the right legs of some sts and knitting through the front of some and the backs of others, and then try picking up through the heads of the sts, and then try picking up through the center of a stitch with the yarn at the back of the work, and then compare the results.

@rachelprichard1809 10 ай бұрын

Have you heard of shaped intarsia? I wonder what you think of it? Maybe do a video on it?

@RoxanneRichardson 10 ай бұрын

I've heard of it. Wendy, who runs the yarnsub.com website told me about it. I tried it on some swatches, but by no means do I completely understand it.
