Thanks so much. You're tutorials are a "go to" for me. I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your father. Sending you prayers 🙏

Hello! Thank you for videos and great explanations.☺I have one specific problem with separating body from sleeves - where do we put markers and why? I studied the Darkwater pattern and I do not understand putting/removing markers in process of separating sleeves from body. I am confused, and in the end I am not sure which marker should stay where and why. Is there any chance to make a video about that? 🥰

Hi Bojana. I have made the Darkwater Dress so I just took a look at the pattern. The marker is placed to indicate the beginning of the sleeve round which is at the centre of the underarm. The pattern gets you to start at one end of the cast on stitches and put the marker in the middle. I actually dont pick up the stitches in this way. I ignore what the pattern says and I actually start at the middle of the underarm stitches. If you watch my video "Picking up stitches for a sleeve in a top down sweater", I demonstrate how to do this. I hope that is helpful. Feel free to send me another message if you would like more clarification. :)
