Knitting Vlogmas 2024 Day 2 | Knit A Rainbow | How to Knit Perfect Ribbing

[@RuthAnneD21]

Love the cardi! “Blouse” and “slacks” gave me flashbacks to my Aunt Donna, whose closet was filled with Alfred Dunner slacks in every color of the rainbow!

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Haha! I love your Aunt Donna! Thank you for being here. 😊

[@RuthAnneD21]

@ she was a force!

[@nysunshine082874]

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

I am so glad you love it! 😊

[@janetgodshalk1441]

Thanks for the ribbing tip. I always do a twisted rib because it always comes out looking so much better

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Right! And now you know why twisted rib looks better… twisted stitches use less yarn and makes them tighter. Thank you for being here Janet. ❄️

[@adriac21]

The cute doggie is tired in the morning

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Yes he is! He wakes me up to go outside and then he eats… and then he sleeps! 🐾

[@holliegiampietro7030]

Another great podcast. I will definitely try the purl stitch like u showed us. TU❤❤❤

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

@@holliegiampietro7030 Thank you Hollie! I’m so glad you are here

[@sew_So_beautiful]

That rib technique looks really interesting. I'm going to try that on the next pair of socks I make.

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Let me know what you think! 😊

[@adriac21]

Love the dogs sweater so cute ☺️

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Thank you! I’ve been meaning to knit him a sweater for that perfect fit that won’t mat his fur. I may start that up next week!

Thank you! ❄️

[@cherylclemons9053]

I still need to make mine, maybe I will make the cardi

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

I like them both!

[@nysunshine082874]

I like dons and I use stoppers to prevent stitches from falling off ... 😅

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Yes, when they are not long enough my stitches tend to slide off as well.

[@joandewolfe5949]

Today was a very interesting day of learning from old to new techniques for my personal knitting to absorb: Thank you for sharing👌🎄. And this was only day 2 of VLOGMAS🎄. Now only do I want to knit day 1 sweater, I want day 2 cardi👌. Looking forward to day 3. Question from me is how do U cast on in rubbing?

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Thank you very much! I use the long tail method to cast on. ✨

[@lisacamilliere5488]

Love your felted countdown calendar. Please add me to the prayer bowl. Thank you. OMGoodness I love the cardigan! I'm going to use this years Vida Lifestyle countdown for this! I can't wait to open the contrast color on the 25th! The sweater looks beautiful on you. The perfect colors on you. I have to ask, where's the "blouse" from you have under the cardigan? I love it. Thank you.

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Thank you! I made that Advent when I was a senior in college in 1992! The top is from the Gap. I try to buy lots of white tops each year. I look for popover tops.

[@lisacamilliere5488]

@ thank you!

[@pegnelson4405]

I love the new cardigan and I plan to make it with this year's Suburban Stitcher Advent Set. I can't wait! I am wondering how to order the colors as they are being released as a fade. Did you wait until all were released to start making it?

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Thank you very much! I just listed the pattern on Ravelry! So... I would wait to see all the colors and then you can put them how you want them to show up. I did design a fade sweater this year for Asylum Fibers and its called the Day by Day Pullover if you wanted to try that. Thank you for being here!

[@pegnelson4405]

@@Knit-A-Rainbow Thank you!

They stopped making Signature needles maybe a year ago. I’m a DPN girl too.

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Soooo sad! I love mine!

[@kimsechrest2202]

In case you haven't heard yet, Signature Needles went out of business in Mar 2024. The owner, apparently, had health issues from what I found on Facebook.

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Yes I did, thank you Kim! 😊

[@Thehighfiberdiet]

Signature needles went out of business. 😒

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Where have I been? 🤦‍♀️ That is such a shame.

[@pampreviti2704]

I LOVE Signature needles. So sad they went out of business. Thank goodness I have a complete set of their DPNs! 🧶
