Fair Isle Beanie ~ 🥰

[@susansays5627]

Thank you so much for this re-do, Shelley - now it's clear that when you're working with two colours, you always bring the skein from the centre over the skein on the outside - I hadn't quite picked that up from the earlier video, and I think I was randomly bringing either one over the top of the other, which wouldn't have helped. And, I think, with that single loose tail that you tied off to itself, if you had brought it through to the right side and used it to stitch in a couple of stitches on the right side, that would have straightened up the very top row of green and your seam would have been un-noticeable - great job, and thank you again!

Yes, I love this. Next I need to try, I like the fair isle lower like that!

This is beautiful! I so enjoy watching your videos and learning how to use my machines. I do not know why you do not have 100k and more followers, you are a wonderful instructor, you make it easy to follow all the steps. My main goal was to make hats for the homeless but I realized now there is so much more I can do. Thank you for making all of the videos and sharing all your patterns and ideas.

@@arleneehrlinspiel5232 Thank you so much for your kind words. My channel is only two years old. One day in my dreams, I hope that I can reach that milestone! 🥰

Dear Shelly: I just got my Addi 46 for Christmas. I need to know what I could be doing wrong every time and any yarn It drops a stitch on the third white needle before it hits the black it dose not matter if I start or even hit my 12 time around. J ust trying to make a simple hat. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!! 😵‍💫☹😭😡

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

@@dianahande2052 it’s hard to know what is wrong unless I was there and could see it. Because it’s the same needle every time I wonder if the needle needs replacing. Difficult yarn, too tight of tension and knitting too fast can also be the issue.

[@karenh2890]

Isn't that pretty! I don't have a knitting machine, but I'm thinking of buying one. Everyone in my family has a big head. I want to be certain I can make large hats. I could afford an Addi, but do you have any recommendations for a beginner?Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@cookie761]

If everyone in your family has a large head, Like mine, Get the Sentro machine... It has more needles and it makes a big difference. Stick to the softer yarns because they stretch better. Love that design, But I also would like it even lower, Probably an inch from the band.

[@karenh2890]

@cookie761 Thank you for the advice!!

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

@@karenh2890 the Addi is a superior machine, no doubt, but the two extra needles on the Sentro really does make a difference.

[@knmonlinemedia]

I got a sentro because my family all big heads🤣 those two extra needles are needed for sure!!

[@lorrainehamilton5051]

I have a large head, 59cm/23in...I got the Addi and they fit me very well. Have found a lot depends on the yarn you use, cheaper "harder" acrylic is less flexible and stretchy, results are much better with better quality acrylic/acrylic mixes.

Shelley, would it be possible to have a lower volume of music in your intro if you are speaking as well? I find it hard to make out what you're saying ... Superb colours for the beanie. I'll watch properly tomorrow. It's bedtime now

[@AuroraBD0618]

You can follow along with the transcript.

[@janhill2079]

@AuroraBD0618 I watch on my TV but couldn't watch the video and read transcript on my laptop at the same time anyhow. Thanks for the thought though

[@AuroraBD0618]

@ it was just a thought… sometimes I follow along with the transcripts and it helps me to understand what’s being said.

[@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet]

@@janhill2079 I just started adding that and this one did seem loud to me as well. Thank you for the feedback. I will pay more attention to it.
