This texture motif includes a PSSO YO over 2 stitches which can be a bit tricky if you have never done it before. It is really a quick simple technique that adds texture to spice up any long stretch of stockinette.

    This is a wonderful video! I just learned a provisional cast on but my way was much clumsier than this! Thank you. I also love that you use a lifeline (I'm using those for the first time too). That makes total sense to protect that first row! I'm doing a cable pattern for the band of a hat, joining with a Kitchener stitch and then picking up the stitches with circular needles to finish the top of the cap. A lot are new challenges, but I'm excited. Thanks for these excellent tips and the clear explanation!

    great tutorial! I have one question though, I know the lifeline is optional, but when I do use it, does it have to be fishing-line? Or can it also be some scrapyarn of sewing yarn?

    • @KnittingConfessions
      @KnittingConfessions Рік тому

      Sorry it took me a few days to get back to you. Scrap yarn is perfect to use as a life line. I hope to like fishing line because I know it won't snag on anything and is very affordable. I find sometimes my scrap yarn felts a bit to the other yarn and can make it a bit tricky when pulling it out at the end. Just make sure you are using smooth yarn and you should be just fine. Happy knitting

    I tried three methods and failed each of them with a project with a whopping 375 stitches, which took a lot of time and a lot of curses. I love this method you showed, it seems much more "durable" and I hope this one will work for me. 🙏

    • @elenaalcedo5838

      Yes, when finishing the float you simply knit the back ladder stitch together with the stitch directly to the left of it.

    Hi there! ❓❓What's the difference between colorwork, fair isle and back ladder jacquard?❓❓

    • @KnittingConfessions
      @KnittingConfessions 2 роки тому

      Great question. The difference between colorwork and fair isle is well nothing really, both are forms of working with 2 or more strans of yarn at the same time. Back Ladder Jacquard is a method for catching floats within colorwork knitting

    • @kikizag
      @kikizag 2 роки тому

    So glad to find your video! I think I will also like this technique as well! I noticed you said to purl 2 stitches together to close out the ladder, but it's appears you knitted the 2 stitches together. Do I purl or do I knit 2 stitches together? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

  • @sylvialarson1506
    @sylvialarson1506 2 роки тому

    Your looks so nice and neat! Is there a set up row? Or are you "setting up" the ladder when you bring your working yarn to front, pick up your stitch, then bring working yarn back to continue? Make sense? Thank you for your assistance!

    • @elenaalcedo5838
      @elenaalcedo5838 2 роки тому

      By extra crochet stitches at the end do you mean the 1 extra stitch or the 10 that make up the tail? If it is just the 1 extra one you simply knit it together with the 1st stitch to close the loop. If it is the tail you just leave them alone until you go to unravel the cast on. I have a video that shows this called Kutcher Stitch in the Round
