Magic Loop Sock: German Twisted Cast on
Thanks for this great video. I just couldn't figure out brioche until I watched it.
I was flipping through a book of patterns and this one caught my eye, thank you for a great explaination
Thanks for the kind words! I love the look of this stitch. Have fun with it.
Thanks for such a clear explanation, I've knit for years and am a thrower. I seem to have a passion for knitting hats and have never liked my deceases. They are functional and not pretty. Now I clearly know what to do. I appreciate your presentation.
Thanks for the kind words! So glad the style worked for you. And I do love a tidy decrease on a hat!
Thank you! What a gift. I have always wanted to knit a ripple blanket but I could never get it right! You are such a good teacher. Thank you for making everything easy and understandable. 🤩
So glad this was helpful!
All of these shawls are very beautiful. But so many of them are worn just like scarves or cowls. Or bandanas Your video is very useful! Thanks so much. I have made a lot of shawls but I don’t always want something around my neck so I usually wear them the traditional way over the shoulder.
Yarn & colors used in If You Leave shawl at 10 min mark please
Hi Claudia, I love that piece! The yarn in the pattern is Fyberspates Vivacious DK. The one I showed was Madeline Tosh DK. And don't hate me! I cannot remember the colorways.
Thank you so much for this video. You saved me from starting over for the umpteenth tjme! ❤️
Where can you find the pattern for the button hole shawl?
Please forgive the delayed response. I missed your question. Here is the link: www.trendsetteryarns.com/lgsinglepat.asp?pat=PAT-6201J&name=J.%20Cool%20Wool%20Big%20Hand%20Dye%20Buttonhole%20Scarf/Wrap
Thanks a lot. This is very useful. I love that button hole shawl. 👍🏼It looks beautiful when you see it worn by someone.
Love your video. Is there a way to take any chart and turn it into a slip mosaic knit pattern?
No all charts will work with Mosaic. You need to think about the motif with 4 rows at a time. When you are working with the C2, you have to have a C1 stitch to slip in order to maintain the lines of the motif. My best recommendation is to chart the motif you want then double the number of rows and add the slip stitches. If you come across a spot that has to have a stitch and does not, see if you can make an adjustment. Also, Barbara Walker has a fabulous book on Mosaic. And her Treasury books all have mosaic motifs. Have fun with it!
what size needles are using and what size cord ? are u using 4 ply worse weight yarn .......................
Thank you for doing this! Very helpful!
I’ve noticed my brioche has been naturally moving by one stitch every round, what’s going wrong?
Merci pour votre vidéo. Je ne vois pas le début du tricot,ni le nombre de mailles. Votre ouvrage est déjà de plusieurs centimètres. Merci de me donner une réponse de votre part. Cordialement
My French is rusty but I believe you are asking for details on how many stitches to cast on. Here is a link for free pattern www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basic-brioche-beanie Thanks for watching and the comment!
Je vous remercie beaucoup pour votre réponse aussi rapide. Et votre Français n'est pas du tout rouillé comme vous le dites. Vous êtes une personne très intelligente, vous pouvez être fière de vous. Merci infiniment 🇨🇵👏👍🙏❤️❤️❤️
I love how you describe things! So memorable and clear! “Is it like a cowboy who just got off a horse or like someone who has to go potty?” 🤣🤣
Thanks Melanie! My goal is easy to remember - all the better when it is slightly silly.
Dankeschön
👍🇦🇺👏❤💙💛💚🧡💜🎊🎊🎊🤩🎊
Thank you for this very fine tutorial. This is just what I was looking for. 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAY ALLAH GIVE YOU ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD
Your video must be for expierenced knitters as you instruction/demonstration is too fast to follow.
Just a little note ,getting a bag with holes on each side really helps organize the yarn. You only have to turn bag over each time. No tangled yarn!
This video is the first one that I’ve found to be thoroughly explained. Thank you It’s my new favorite way to knit socks.
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!!!
I love your skills
Boy was this helpful! Thank you! I just learned to knit and made a mistake and felt lost. This helped me tremendously!
This is so helpful. Thank you!!
I am so glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Excellent resource!!!
You just saved me from pain and suffering. Lol! Thank you!
It's SO hard to find instructions for continental knitting! Thank you so much. I'm doing toe-up socks for the first time and I've never done this W&T stitch before! ✌❤🇨🇦
What happens if I notice the hole after knitting a while?
Fran, you can ladder down to the hole and fix it as shown. Or, you can do a duplicate stitch over the hole and close it then weave in ends. Does that help?
Thank you so much, now I manage the w&t👍🏼
So glad it was helpful!
Whenever I knit the slip slip knit, my sts are always loose, so I have to slip as if to purl
Very helpful. Thank you.
This was so helpful!! I wish I learned many many projects ago.. many projects I’ve thrown out because I could not fix.. or I have spent hours trying to fix a dropped stitch.. or trying to figure out how to “unknit” this made so much sense!! Thanks again!
So glad it was helpful!! I hate ripping when I can just fix!
Thank you so much for this video! Helped me out so much.
Complimenti !
Does this apply to knitting in the round? Do each row twice?
I think I just found Knitting Nirvana for Newbies.😊 Such great videos with a ton of great information. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
I desperately need this part 5:32 😭 thankyou!
Lifesaver!!!
Oh my god.....this is sooo complicated...How do I do this Wrap and Turn if I purl norwegian style( with my working thread at the back ) ? Help please... :-)
I am so sorry that I missed your question. I was actually trying to help someone with this who uses Portuguese knitting and I was not able to. I am not sure about doing it with the Norwegian purl. You may be better off with Shadow short rows or traditional Wrap and turns. Happy to zoom with you if you need help. You can contact me through Hands on Knitting Center.
This video has helped me a lot. Even though I have knitted off and on for over 40 years, I still make mistakes and realize I have been doing some things wrong! I looked up the location or your shop and I was so surprised to see that you are in my hometown of Redlands, CA! I grew up there from 1960 to 1975. Graduated from RHS. I moved out of state in the 80's and relocated to UT where I met my husband and we live in North Iowa! My mother passed in January of this year and I wasn't able to get back. It has been since 1990 since I was home. I miss it,, but it isn't the same without the orange groves and the wonderful blossom smells! Thanks for posting knitting help videos
Shelby!! What a small world. I am glad you or both knitting help and a connection to home all in one spot. You will be happy to hear that there is a huge movement to save the Orange groves so while there are not nearly as many there are still tons and the air is still perfumed. If you make it out this way, come see us! Or connect with online on Wednesdays and Thursdays. You might even find old friends…
Was having so much trouble with the purl side and your video was a huge help, thanks!
I am so glad the video was helpful! Happy knitting, Molly
do you have the link to the video on how to felt in your washing machine? thanks for the video :)
Instead of saying light and dark, you should have said front and back, or MAIN color and contrasting color, etc. Light and dark may be opposite in a different piece.
Light and Dark are the terms most often used in Brioche knitting and I shot this video to support brioche knitting. So very sorry if it was not a good fir for you.
@@handsonknittingcenter1294 Actually, it isn't. Most videos clearly state: MC Main Color and CC Contrasting Color, Color A, Cokir B, etc Just because you refuse to admit it does not make you correct in your instructions. Check other videos of Brioche Knitting, Fair Isle and any styles of knitting which incorporate more than 1 color. BTW, would you say light and dark when you are doing Long Tail or Italian Cast On with only one color? Maybe you would.
@@contactjoy4140 I have no desire to argue with you. My point was there are many ways of accomplishing things and tons of videos out there. When I teach brioche I follow Nancy Merchant’s style (since she literally wrote the books on brioche) and she refers to light side and dark side. I completely agree with you that the vast majority of knitting refers to either MC/CC or labels the yarn colors A, B, C, etc. I shot this video to support students from our yarn store and used the same language as my class. So my point about it not being a good fit for you was not meant as anything other than it might not be a good fit. Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback to help my videos be better. My goal is simply to make techniques easier to understand. So sorry if I failed you in this one.
The best explanation ever! Got to the point without lots of pausing!!!
This was amazing! Such a great explanation! I am struggling as a beginner fixing dropped yarn overs. Hopefully I can find a video like yours to help fix those. Thank you so much for this video.
Sally - believe it or not it is the easiest fix within 2 rows of the Yo! If on purl side, just pick up the bar where the st should be and purl it. I need to shoot a video on this! Mollu
@@handsonknittingcenter1294 that would be great! I am knitting a baby blanket that has some rows of “one yo followed by 3 knits and pass the last knit stitch over first two and repeat”. This is followed by a row of purls and then repeated in opposite way with “3 knits and pass over followed by one yo and repeat”For some reason after knitting several rows of this alternating pattern I will find myself a few rows above having fewer stitches and it’s almost always the dropped yo. I am a beginner, so even though I can identify where the mistake was made I have a hard time figuring out how to bring the stitch up (whether to pull up purlwise or knitwise. I think this video helped me to understand the ladder more but now I have to put it into the context of my current pattern. Thank you so much for responding! ❤️
OMG! Thank you! You're explanation of inserting the needle towards yourself just saved me, yet again, from frogging out my entire project. I kept coming across tutorials that have you just rip it and save the stitches, but then I couldn't knit them. They were tight and then I would frog some more. Nice thing is I can keep on using the same needle I've been using instead of finding another smaller needle. Thank you!
THANK YOU!! This video saved my project. You are amazing!!!
I am so glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the kind words. Molly
