What do you then do with your live stitches? Stretchy bind off? Thanks

thank you so much, you helped me alot! :3

Working brioche in the flat is different from working in the round. You only are working flat so the name of the post is misleading. Working on the round would mean coming back to the first worked stitch and working across - you are always working from the last worked stitch.

I love the idea of a cardigan for gingers! My only sunburn last year was when I went for a walk wearing my Tallulah tank! Oops...

Soft AND cosy? Gorgeous. I bought some mindful DPNs purely because of the pointiness but they seriously set my teeth on edge and they are now looking for a new home. The search for the ideal texture/pointiness combination continues.

Fun video! Very informative. Are you going to write up the t-shirt pattern for the green silk top?

Wowzers! I never realised how much extra maths went into a raglan sleeve!

Hi Jacki! How do you feel about knitting a larger front vs back for let’s say a drop shoulder sweater as another approach to fitting the bust better? I find that short rows alone give me a weird “bubble” effect over the tummy?!? Just diving into adding more width at the bust. Appreciate this video very much!

Welcome back 😊 I've been sadly away from knitting since February of this year due to chronic tennis elbow 😭....but I'm now able to knit a bit. I'm hoping to have a go at brioche, it looks really pretty!! I too love knitting, hoping to head to Yarndale next year, I decided that pretty wools, and not being able to knit would probably mean I'd cry, so I didn't go this year!! Glad you are better, COVID sucks!! Loved the video, looking forward to your next one!!xxx

Ceilacs unite!! Gluten free bread really is rubbish.

Love the campfire cowl Jacki. 😊

In the midst of Xmas gifts, I'm knitting your blooming bessie cowl atm, next on the list is the Monty shawl 🙂

❤

I usually knit this as half fisherman's rib (k1/p1 row then k1below, p1row) can be worth a try if anyone struggling to tension their YO. Both come put exactly the same until uou need patterning in the brioche section. My latest project with it was the First Cardigan by HIVE knits and its a gloriously squishy stitch either way!

This definitely meets a need for me. I have to remind myself how every time!

You make ribbing very clear. I can rib but will keep this post in mind for beginners.

I had to laugh at the comment of "everything in knitting is slow, it's slow, it's fine" while I'm hand winding the 2nd ball of mohair after the ball winder made a mess.

Thanks for showing how to hold the yarn from the top and underneath, very helpful!

Ah this was fabulous, Jackie! Thank you for these tips and tricks! So far, I don't have any desire to design, but I take my hat off to designers like you - I enjoy the genius that unfolds in my hands from pattern to fabric so much. I don't know what I would do without knitting - same as you, having that thing you can hold up at the end of the day and say - look I made this - its an unbeatable feeling X Ros X Ooh and Congratulations - 3 years! And with little ones! Absolutely fantastic!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing your story. I enjoy youtube for the knitting inspiration but really enjoy 'meeting' the crafters. And your couch is gorgeous!

Congratulations on 3 years! And for sharing your story. I've been that down before and had serious issues with decision fatigue and overwhelm like you described. It's such an awful experience. I'm so glad you're at the other side. Thank you so much for sharing all the tips too! I'm literally working out a hat pattern as I knit it and looking at inspiration and marrying ideas and figuring out how things are constructed and why. Next I'm going to knit it in my husband's size to make sure my maths is right and then we'll see! It will likely be a free pattern but I sure do love the process of creating it.

Thank you for sharing your journey to becoming a knit wear designer. Congratulations on 3 years. Love the podcast and knitting is so so so my sanity.

Gosh! So many emotions watching your podcast! Inspirational. I could listen to you for hours. Write a book! Do it id read it. I have so many ideas in my head but struggle with too much in my head lol that I give up. Depression is a constant shadow but gosh you gave me a lift. Thank you so much for sharing this piece of your life😊

All your knits are beautiful! Enjoy your knitting time.

Love wip no 1 Jacki especially if you add another block of colour

You're hilarious! I've loved this episode. I feel so much calmer at my WIP pile knowing I'm not alone... or that I'm not the only one that forgets what yarn I have

Give up on the Westknits! You are never going back to that bad boy? Surely!! 950ish stitches a row soon #justsaying

So great to see you and I just finished Laura's video today and was very inspired and relieved about my WIPs :)

Ooooh I definitely think the camisole is worth the rush. It’s often hot quite late in the summer. I also immediately thought of yarn I have that would work for it 😂

I love the camisole, and definitely think it's worth releasing this year. Summer knitting for me means light enough to handle during the making stage on hot August days, as well as when I want to wear it. Can I apply to test knit it now?!!!

Camisole is fabulous. I look forward to knitting one when released. I’d love it one in late July. I could knit it ready for spring in Australia then. As a no swatch knitter I am a touch rogue!!!

Love the camisole jacki. I have some yarn that would work and it looks like a quick knit 😊

Love the idea of a Jim for all seasons!

Loving the camisole 🙂

I love the Briney slipover!

I love that you’ve kept all these early projects. I wish I’d kept mine now. I’m not even sure I have pictures of all those early makes with the typical rookie errors

This was such a fun episode! So much better than all of the 'what I knit in 2022' recap videos. I loved how you gave them grades and even tried some on. You have a wonderful sense of humour! Well done!

I loved this episode. Laughed so much - remembering my own early knits. However I still don’t swatch. I am sorry if this causes stress but I don’t. I do block (had never heard of it and my mother and grandmother never did). For context I’m 63. Thank you for your lovely tour through your past. Hugs x

Hi jacki. Just wondered pattern you used for your lovely sleeveless pullover, tank top, vest. Sorry not sure what to call it these days 🙂 enjoyed your video, some very suspect previous projects 🙂

Will you be running your online workshop at various points during the year? I know there’s one soon but I’ve been hit with an unexpected parking fine so lovely things like workshops will have to wait until another month. I have the feeling bust adjustments may change my life/ wardrobe

Something tells me the battle of Loki vs window is not going to be over any time soon…

Brilliantly informative and something that is very much overlooked. ❤

Enjoyed your podcast! ❤ and your sweater! Editing is the worst!

How was the film in the end? Haha

How do you make a bunt adjustment in knitting?

I am also ‘blessed’ with a 62cm head and can NEVER find a Santa hat. Looks like I need to stress knit myself one!

Your sideways jumper is beautiful 🤩

Yay for spinning! 15 mins a day a great way forward and I love that you’re seeing what it’s like knitted up as you go. Thank you for your support and kind comments, Sinead from Gullrock Fibres x

Wivey Weaver- Yarn Alchemy here - thank you for the mention (and the purchase!) - I do hope you enjoy knitting with it and would love to see the end result. Good luck with your hand spinning - just don't forget to set the yarn properly before you use it, especially if you are leaving it single ply.
