Thank you thank you for your 2 videos about switching between knit and purl. I didn't like how my seed stitch was looking and your videos helped me learn how to fix it.

Nice video. It’s like a summary video to your previous one which is great if I just want to quickly review. I was lucky enough to watch your other video before working on a basket weave pattern on my son’s sweater. It made a world of difference and looks very neat. Thank you SO MUCH for all of your good advice.

This is the most gorgeous seed stitch result I can recall seeing, and it is amazing how simple it is to pull the slack out to achieve this excellent tension. I very much appreciate being shown how to do this in Continental and in English working yarn operation!

Morning! Today, I was challenged with a dropped herringbone stitch, and I thought of whining to YOU as I attempted to salvage it. I did manage, though it shows. The piece is experimental - testing very thin cotton on 2.25mm needles. The first set were fine - there and back, then I added three rows of stocking, and did another set, but had to reverse the order so the effect would show on the front of the piece. ** I find the first part of the technique to leave me with those dreaded long loops everyone has to deal with, but the return is naturally tighter for me. My second set being reversed, I pulled tight to make sure I didn't have loose loops when I followed with my next three rows of stocking ~ annnnnd, 3/4 of the way to the end is where the dreaded thing went wonky. I have done this technique many times over the years, but I still don't know what to look for when something goes awry. Have you? These last two days I've been experimenting with cables in the same yarn and needle, where nothing is meant to come out perfectly, so mostly I am not worried - just checking what the two can achieve opposed to what would be a waste of time. I have tried getting my knit-before-purl bettered, but so far it just avoids my efforts. I'm thinking, I should just tell folks "I meant it to happen. I like the way it looks." Hopefully, I can get away with it. Joe Guelph Ontario

Joe, this is a challenging question. There are several ways to work herringbone. If you tell me the one you are using, I will try to work on this.
@Norfolk2503 жыл бұрын
The one I used was knitting or purling through A&B, dropping B. Pretty basic. Again, my stitches were purposefully tight and tiny, and yarm having multi-ply makes digging any dropped stitch back up is aggravating on its own. I know I'm setting myself up for ulcers as my goal is micro-knitting. No doll stuff for me, but full panels of insanity.

Hi Suzanne! Do you think that by ensuring the knit before purl stitch is tigthened the tendency for the fabric to form a bias swing will be reduced? I am currently swatching double moss/seed stitch and I' finding that a bias flare is forming in the fabric. Blocking does seem to remove the bias from the 7x9 inch swatch but I'm concerned as tomwhether blocking will be adequate for a large garment pieces. I am using a worsted weight cotton. Can younexplain the physics of why the bias develops? Many Thanks, Heidi
@SuzanneBryan2 жыл бұрын
This is a tough situation. I have seen another time when biasing occurred and I could not figure it out. I consulted several other experts and we were all confounded. I would try the same stitch pattern with a different yarn and see if you get biasing. If you do, it is the stitch pattern, if you do not, it is the yarn.

I can work the yarn on either hand but this really highlights the efficiency of continental.
@sethmarkel3 жыл бұрын
I believe that efficiency (and speed, and ergonomic soundness) are equally possible carrying the yarn on either side. There are so many different styles and traditions of knitting. It depends on who is demonstrating and what style they are most practiced in. There are so many factors and I try to look holistically at how I knit, while being so grateful to be able to study and learn from the techniques and experience and generosity of others. Continental is not per se more efficient than right hand carry.

Suzanne....can I ask you something? I am a continental knitter...using the Norwegian methode. But I have a problem with knitting the rib that I cant solve. The knit stitch ... the V.... does not close properly. The bar in the middle of the V is about 2mm and it is clearly visible. It should be like this \/......but in my knitting it is \-/ In this way the rib also looses his elasticity. I tried everything....more tight/loose. I cant figure out what I am doing wrong. Please, can you help me?....I am almost in tears.

Lotte, this is the nature of 1x1 ribbing. Try a swatch with k2p2 ribbing, you will see that the stitches make Vs. If you want nice sharp Vs on your 1x1 ribbing, try knitting through the back loops of the knits on the RS and the purls on the WS.
@lotte51733 жыл бұрын
@@SuzanneBryan Thanks....I will try that one! I also found out that the position of the needles is important. I held them to horizontal pointing to each other. Now I tried to keep them more in the position of 60 degrees and it works much better. Just by bringing the end of the needles towards each other..... It took me my whole Sunday to figure out....LOL I think many more people will have this problem, Suzanne..... Perhaps you can try it out and make a video if it? Have a blessed day.

@Sarah Turnbull I think I found out what the problem is. We stretch the knit stitch to far.....and that makes the next purl stitch more tense. And after I stretched the knit stitch...I didnt stretch the purl stitch at all. So they werent equal. Perhaps you do the same. You can solve the problem by knitting the knit stitch without stretching. Sorry....English is not my first language but I hope you understand what I try to explain. Good luck, Sarah. Happy knitting!
