It's 2023 and You tube has made it (almost) impossible to be monetized as a specialized creator. I refuse to "create drama content" for subs. You will not find Goats, sheep, llamas, or donkeys on my channel. Yes, you will find dogs, but only rarely. No politics or drama.
I created this channel not only to teach YOU how to knit on Your specific machine, but to help me remember how to use the machines. I forget A LOT. Every day I say - "Wait, I knit that? Really? Wow."
I have had a patreon page as long as I have had this channel - I have 1 tier - and it's not expensive. $1.50 cad a month.
If you want more content, or appreciate all my current content then please subscribe to this channel as well as show support on patreon. I am not charging patreon until September 1, 2023. I am posting all you tube content on Patreon as well.

Bears Ears Balaclava - The End.
So... we bring up the ribber again for 2 sections, that are only 15 rows deep. I decided that breaking up the piece into 2 parts would be way easier then knitting ribbing on 97L and 97R.
The other issue with knitting the full bed is trying to seam off half of the hat, stopping, adjusting, and seaming again.
Added bonus - with only using half the needles I can have my camera way closer to the bed.

Bears Ears Balaclava pt 4 - seams
Переглядів 2212 годин тому
In this video we are using our knitting machine as a linker and seaming our work. One side then the other. I am using a large loop for a latch tool bind off, but you are more then welcome to just knit across on tension 10, then use a back stitch bind off for a different look. I strongly suggest using the "yoke sweater" increase and decrease calculator for a easier way to ease the live stitches ...
Bears Ears Balaclava pt 3 - ears
Переглядів 3912 годин тому
In this long video we are short rowing for the ears. This is the same method used for heels on socks. When we finish the ears we go right into the last section of knitting. That last section starts at 25L and 25R but we reduce the same number of stitches we increased before causing the piece to have a unique curve for those ears. We stop the decreases at 18L and 18R and continue knitting that t...
Bears Ears Balaclava pt 2 - decreases to increases
Переглядів 4312 годин тому
We are still working our way through the body of this project. we have a few rows of straight knitting after we finish the decreases then we make 7 increases to get ready for the ears. We yarn mark 0, 18 and 25. and then remove the piece on waste yarn. This is a good spot to take a break, and get ready for short rows.
Bears ears balaclava pt 1 - ribbing +
Переглядів 5212 годин тому
This is the first video of this series, we are knitting the collar ribbing and starting the simple stitches that go under the chin. In the little time we have we are just starting the reductions around the face. We are knitting in Tension 3-3 for the ribbing and tension 6 for the main parts of the project. There is no special stitches being used for this project.

To every problem there is a solution. And this sweater had a problem - I created it - and I found a solution that works for me. A wedge.

Sleeve number 2 shocked me. it was also perfect. We had no stitches left over and no stitches missing. Again, we are knitting outward for only a few rows then we start knitting inward every 9 rows There are not differences.

This is the first Yoke sweater pattern to have a perfect sleeve stitch count on the first try. I am actually shocked. Once we get the increases done we start decreasing every 9 rows going down to 24 st L and 24st R

I redeem myself in this video. I paid more attention to what I was doing. This piece turned out perfect.

We are doing the easiest piece first. I do mess this up. But at the end of the day it's not a big deal.
Fairisle toddler collar part 2

This is the point at which all your hard work comes together, literally. You are squeezing all the yoke stitches onto the 100 stitches of the collar. You got this.
Fairisle toddler collar part 1
Переглядів 40Місяць тому
So... instead of knitting the collar on to the yoke, I like to knit the collar first. We are knitting 100st wide at tension 3. Do not use tension 3. Use tension 5 to 7. If you use tension 3 you will not be able to squeeze a child's head into it. Also Do not Seam up your yoke. You want to make sure that you do not have to put in an emergency button detail. You will not know until you are done th...
Fairisle Toddler Yoke #2

This is a very short video noting the highlights from knitting the second yoke for this sweater. I figure out a nifty way to avoid actually counting stitches. I also remember to mark the center of the yoke immediately.

Now we are on a roll. We are putting the stitches on the bed over way less needles. Then we are knitting the angled graphic. When the graphic is all done we reduce again. I was going to do the last reduction closer to the last 5 rows but it just seemed like a better idea to do it after the fancy pattern instead. We remove the piece on waste yarn this time, so we can use the garter bar for the s...
Fairisle toddler yoke - layer 1

This is the first layer of the toddler sized yoke sweater. We are starting at 65L and 65R. We only have 8 rows to knit on this layer. I make a huge mistake after the first row of this piece. I did not mark center. Mark center on the piece - you need it to center the yoke for the front and back knitting. We end this video as we transfer the yoke onto a garter bar. Remember you can use waste yarn...
