You’re very welcome. I’m glad that you like it!

You are very welcome! I'm so happy it helped :)

Hi Julie! I have the pattern in two locations. You can visit my website at: handmadebystacyj.com/2022/03/16/learn-to-knit-dishcloth/ or on ravelry at: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/garter-ridge-wash-cloth-2 I hope you enjoy’ 😊

Yay! I’m so happy that she enjoyed it and that the instructions were easy to follow ❤️❤️❤️

You're very welcome - and, thank YOU!

You're very welcome! I'm so happy to hear that it came out nicely. ❤

Wow! Thank you so much! I've never had a Super Fan thanks - you're my first. Much appreciated! ♥

I'm not quite sure where you're placing your stitches to create the shift. Are you seeing it in the body, as well as the crown? There is a natural shift of a seam when working in the round and it'll be slightly noticeable in the crown, but can be helped a little by where you place your stitches after the join. Try placing your 2 hdc in the same stitch as the join and that might help. For the body, there shouldn't be any shift of the seam, as it's all worked around the posts. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much! ❤

You're very welcome - and, thank YOU!

I'm so happy that you're enjoying these tutorials! Thank you for reaching out!

Hi there! I have a couple lacy dishcloth patterns, so I'll drop the links here. Hopefully this will help you out :) Cables and Lace Dishcloth: handmadebystacyj.com/2023/02/09/cables-and-lace-dishcloth/ Eyelet Lace Dishcloth: handmadebystacyj.com/2022/03/21/learn-to-knit-the-eyelet-lace-washcloth/

You're very welcome! I'm so happy that you like it ❤

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the scarf! And, yes, I'm currently working on a beanie hat to match. It probably will be another month or so before it's released. 😊

@@handmadebystacyj That would be great, can't wait, and thank you very much, keep up the good work 😊👍

You're very welcome - Thank YOU!!

Awww, thank you. I think you'll be surprised at how easy this actually is to do. I designed it with those one-off skeins in mind (I think we all have a few of those). One suggestion, I know that you're working your way through the dishcloth series, but, maybe try casting on 24 stitches to make a little swatch using this pattern. It'll take a little practice, but I have faith in you that you can do it - just a thought :)

@@handmadebystacyj Oh twist my arm, why don't you? lol! Seriously, your suggestion couldn't come at a better time. I'm in between projects atm, having just recently finished a crocheted shrug I'd been working on, and I'm not up for starting a new project tonight, too beat from a long day. And yet of course I'm itching to get my hands into some yarn to unwind, but I hadn't quite figured out what to do, and then I read your comment. Swatch it is. :) That'll introduce me to the basics of your scarf, and since it's just for practice, I won't have the pressure of trying to be perfect at it, so I can simply relax and enjoy the learning process. You rock, Stacy...off to grab some scrap yarn. :D

@@witchywoman4139 - Fantastic! How did the swatching work out for you? Sometimes when my fingers are just itching to play, I'll grab one of my knitting books and pick a stitch I've never tried. It's a great way to scratch that itch!

@@handmadebystacyj Eh, it didn't happen lol. I ended up being too tired, and just zoned out on youtube vids instead, oof. But I'm anxious to try out your pattern, so I'll be getting to it soon, I promise! I'll definitely update you as to how it goes. That's a great idea about scratching the itch by practicing new stitches! I don't really have any crochet or knitting books, I get most of my stitch and pattern ideas from youtube, but even so, that'd work too...just pop on one of my many bookmarked stitch tutorials and grab some scrap yarn and just have at it. Love it! Thanks so much for all of your help and wonderful suggestion/s! <3

@@witchywoman4139 - I totally get it! Sometimes life just happens and, even though we want to play with yarn, the call of a nap or zone out time has a stronger pull. :)

You’re very welcome! I’m so happy that you like the pattern. And, a matching hat? Yes! You’ve inspired me to make that happen. Thank you!!

That’s so cool! And, I’m glad that you like the pattern!

Thank you - I'm so happy that you like it!!

Hi there! Sorry about the Amazon link. I'm no longer an Amazon affiliate, but I love these needles so much that I'm happy to share :) www.amazon.com/Picks-Options-Interchangeable-Knitting-Needles/dp/B00GHYAOCW/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2GKO1798ZP47N&keywords=knit%2Bpicks%2Binterchangeable%2Bneedles&qid=1701701755&sprefix=knit%2Bpick%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1

I had to take some time to respond to your message - you hit me in the feels and brought a tear of joy to my eyes. Thank you so much for telling me your story - YOU are the reason I do these videos! I remember also being frustrated learning how to knit (after crocheting for about 40 years) and the Continental style really called to me. Only, at the time, I didn't know "Continental" was even a style - I thought I just held my yarn wrong. After visiting my local yarn shop and asking them about it, they told me "It's not wrong; it's Continental!". I'm so happy that you enjoy the videos. Please keep an eye out during December, as I have quite a few patterns coming out this month (one is a beginner knit friendly infinity scarf). Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting (I'll warn you...it's extremely addictive!). 💕

@@handmadebystacyj I can't thank you enough for your presence on youtube, Stacy. Your tutorial is the reason I decided to not give up on knitting, and I'm sooo glad I stuck to it! It DID get easier over time. I must have watched various parts of your tutorial at least a dozen times or more, studying your hands and your technique, trying to emulate your fluid and seemingly effortless knitting style, your soothing voice and nurturing energy encouraging me along the way. One thing that also helped was a tension ring...have you seen those? I bought several from Amazon to try. They come in different styles and you can wear the ring on any finger; you thread your yarn through it, and it helps to control the tension. Tension was my biggest struggle with purling, especially using the Continental method. I was in love with the the knit stitch, but I kept losing tension on the purl, which was maddeningly frustrating. Using the ring made all the difference initially, and because of all the practice, I finally progressed to the point where I don't need it anymore and can do both knitting and purling quite comfortably. But early on the ring was an invaluable crutch and helped me tremendously, along with closely following along with your tutorial, and practice, practice, practice! I knit along with your video for hours, practicing the stitches and pattern over and over until I felt confident enough to actually make the dishcloth, and I'm so darn proud of that thing! I had been planning to use it in the kitchen, but I was reluctant to ruin it by using it to wipe up spills. So after I finally got around to weaving in the ends and washing and blocking it, I tried it as a washcloth on my face, and wow! I'm impressed by the absorbancy of it and the soft texture on my sensitive skin, so it's staying in the bathroom for now. I'm planning to make a set for both the kitchen and bathroom in appropriate colors, and I'll be following your subsequent tutorials to mix up the styles. I can't wait to get started, because you're so right....after getting the hang of knitting, it definitely is addictive! There's something about it that I find even more addictive and satisfying than crochet, and I never thought I'd say that, ever lol. I know I sound like an obsessed fangirl lol! But I am truly indebted to you, and can't wait to watch and follow along with more of your tutorials, both knit and crochet. I'm working on a few crochet projects atm, but after the holidays I'm hoping for some quality knitting time...I need my fix! :D Thanks again for being you, and doing what you're doing...you're appreciated more than you know. Happy Holidays! <3

@@witchywoman4139 - You are so kind! I've heard of the tension rings, but haven't tried them. However, I've been teaching a girlfriend of mine how to knit and may suggest that she try them. She just learned how to purl, so that may help her as she's learning. I don't know why I never thought of using the washcloth for our faces. I'm so happy that it worked out for you and was so soft. I'll have to keep that in mind for all the handmade dishcloths I have here at the house :) You know, it's funny, I'm in the same boat as you. I never thought I'd ever say that knitting would become a little more addictive to me than crochet...but, it has! Although crochet is still extremely enjoyable, I love the meditation that comes with knitting. And there's something about how interesting the stitches can be simply by doing a combination of knits and purls or adding in a little extra technique. I hope you have the happiest of holidays and thank you for bringing so much joy to me!

@@handmadebystacyj Aww! If I've brought you any joy, it's a small compensation for the joy you've brought to me, by opening up the wonderful world of knitting to me in such a patient, relaxing, and stress-free way. Mad props to you!! <3 As for tension rings, I bought all of mine from Amazon, and I'm embarrassed to say I've got quite a stash going lol. They were inexpensive and the metal ones were so pretty, I had a difficult time choosing between them. I figured I'd buy several and try them out, keeping my favorites and returning the others, but I ended up keeping all of them. They were just too cute, and I rationalized that some might be better for different types of yarns than others, so I've got plenty to use as spares, as well as some duplicate extras. I'd be happy to donate the extras to your friend or anyone else in your knitting circle to support the cause! As pretty as the metal ones are, I found that my go-to favorite is a plastic one by a well-known crochet hook company. I'm not sure if I can get away with saying the name without youtube flagging me for spam, but it rhymes with "toy." It starts with "b" rather than "t" and there's an "e" at the end. ;) The band is flexible rubber, and it comes with three plastic inserts for various yarn sizes. I've been concerned about wearing out the band from so much use, but it's held up just fine, and it's cheap enough to replace if need be. So that's the one I'd recommend to your friend to try out first, but again, I'm happy to pass on the extra metal ones if your friend or anyone else you know might have a use for them! Isn't that weird about knitting being more addictive than crochet? I can't figure out why exactly. I find both crafts to be meditative and soothing and both do wonders for my mental and emotional health. I can't say that I prefer knitting to crochet, because I love both. But when it comes to addictiveness, knitting wins hands-down. After a crochet session, it's easy to say, "I'll finish this row and then end for the night," and I do just that. But with knitting, it's always, "Just one more row...just one more...really this is the last one...ok, just ONE more..." lol! There's something so satisfying about it, and the enjoyment of the rhythm of it seems to build the longer you knit...but maybe that's just me. :) I'll definitely keep an eye on your channel this month, and check out your new uploads. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us...the infinity scarf definitely sounds intriguing! Thanks again for all you do, Stacy...you're a gem, and I'm so grateful the youtube algorithm introduced us. Maybe AI really IS intelligent! :D Big hugs! <3

@@witchywoman4139 - I agree! I think AI actually got this one right - I'm so happy to have met you! Thank you for the offer for my friend. She's actually getting the hang of it really well. But, if she struggles I'll mention the Boy, I mean Toy with an E tension ring to her 😉. One more row...one more row...this is the last one, I swear...oh, just one more row...I sooo get where you're coming from. I'm happy to hear how much you're enjoying your knitting journey and I'm thrilled to be part of it. Happy holidays and big hugs from Tucson ❤

Thank you for reaching out! I'm so happy that the video helped you. Once you get the hang of the modified stitches, it really does get zippy.

You're very welcome! I'm so happy that the explanation was clear :)

Hi Marty! Thank you so much for reaching out! I'm so happy that you enjoy the videos :) The crochet along baby blanket wound up becoming a stand alone pattern. However, Mary Maxim and I worked together and created a kit out of it for their store and website. If you'd like to check out the blanket pattern on my site (it's pretty easy to crochet and corner-to-corner usually comes out pretty even), here's the link: handmadebystacyj.com/2023/03/23/birthday-sorbet-baby-blanket/ Thanks again!

You’re very welcome - I’m so happy that you like it! ❤️

Hello and thanks for reaching out! If you were to slip the last stitch, then turn the piece and slip the first stitch, you would end up not working the edge stitch at all. So, the first stitch is slipped because the last stitch gets worked. Then, when you turn the piece, the first stitch gets slipped (the last one that you just worked). So, essentially, you're slipping an edge stitch on every other row. I hope this helps!

thank you so much , that's why you are the teacher 😊 know I understand a little I will read your reply again takes me a few times😊@@handmadebystacyj

I’m so happy that you were able to follow along. Thank you so much for the kind words and welcome to the wonderful world of knitting :)

You’re very welcome! I’m so happy that this pattern works out for you - I would love to see your finished pumpkin.

❤️

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much! I was pretty excited when I tried it, as I hadn't heard of that either! It won't work with 100% acrylic; I believe that it needs to be natural fibers to absorb the dye. I still haven't made anything with my yarn yet, so I can not attest to the color fastness, but I've heard that sometimes vinegar works to help it set. I'd like to dive into the dying aspect myself, but I'm still a complete newbie. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video! ❤️

@@handmadebystacyj Aww...I thought it might not work with acrylic, but I do have a small skein of undyed merino wool, so I can play with that! It's good to know that vinegar may help to set it, and I've also heard that vinegar can work to soften fibers too, so it's definitely something to experiment with. If you do decide to work with the yarn at some point, I'd love to see a follow-up video as to how it goes, and what you make with it...what fun! Thanks again for the tutorial! 💕

@@witchywoman4139 - Absolutely! I'll definitely do a follow-up video if I make something with it. I did another experiment with easter egg dye tablets. That was fun! However, the colors didn't come out as vibrant as the kool-aid did. There's so many fun options out there! I'd love to see how your experiment goes :)

I'm so sorry that it was confusing. When I was learning to knit, it took me a few tries (and days) to get comfortable with the knit stitch first, then purling. If you'd like to look at other folks that do tutorials, I highly recommend Marly Bird, VeryPink and Studio Knit - they all helped me when I was learning.

Aww, Thank you so much!! I’m so happy that I can join and help you with your crochet journey ❤️❤️❤️
