Common Mistakes for Portuguese Knitting Beginners

[@sheilal3172]

I am learning to knit socks and I put a "safe line" between each section of the sock. It saves a lot of tears! Thanks so much for this, Andrea!

[@heidiroycroft9465]

I real like the idea of putting in the safe line in the row of loops that are on the needle. I have messed up by dropping down a row or getting the wrong leg of a stitch when trying to place the safe line down farther in the fabric.

I am glad it was helpful, Heidi!

[@MsCkbt]

Fixing stitch mistakes was brilliant. I really love your tutorials.

[@AndreaWongKnits]

Glad you like them!

Thank you so much. I needed this big time.

[@AndreaWongKnits]

You are so welcome, Sara!

My hiyahiya cables have a safe line hole. This allows me to knit them in. I am able to pull them out later on. Saves lots of time.

[@AndreaWongKnits]

Those needles are so well made!

Error 3 6:58 where the thread has to be for purl versus knit

[@AndreaWongKnits]

The yarn has to be on top of RHN to knit and below RHN to purl. I have videos on my channel

[@franziskani]

Error one got to 3:40 and watch at 25 % speed you will see the correct way to do it.

Lol I made so many of these on first project years ago. Think I frogged 100 times till I got it all right. What needle and cable are you using?

[@AndreaWongKnits]

I am sorry I did not heave the videos when you were learning. It would save you so much frogging... Keep up the good work! Mostly I use Signature Needles and Knit picks ones. Signatures is going out of business.

I’m confused about the safe line…you repeat to pick up right loop only, but on the screen it looks like you’re picking up the left loop.

[@AndreaWongKnits]

@@michellenash6802 I am sorry, Michelle. I don’t mean to confuse you. Either left loop OR right loop only. The secret is to be consistent. Does that help?
