Thanks so much for this video. I've never made socks but decided to join a MAL for socks in Feb. I've had such a time getting the first row nice & snug but was having such a batlle getting it right. I was almost ready to call it quits but after watching thia video I've got it right! Thank you😊

You're very talented, very soothing and you videos are very informative! Glad to have found you! Keep up the great work! ❤️❤️❤️

Up, up, up!

This s massively frustrating to listen to, the topic isn’t genuinely addressed until 4:46. Could I suggest you write out a script so we don’t have to listen to the stream of consciousness rambling. I honestly don’t mean that to sound rude. It’s just so convoluted.

What is the reason for casting on the extra stitch and then moving it to back needle? Why not just cast on 64 sts.?

When you come to the end of your stitches flip the yarn to the back over the needle you just finished, then hold it in place with your left hand, you will never have it out of position. It will be ready to knit the first stitch of the next needle. I can see you doing this but you didn’t speak on it. I use this technique myself.

I can't find your video showing how to cast on with magic loop. Thanks!

Great explanation!! You could give the WS a pastel color in the print, I have found that really helpful. If you would put the index on the left of the chart you can temporarily stick a piece of paper on the right next to the chart (leave the rownumbers visible ofcourse) to cross of the row that is ready. This is very helpful when you have to not only knit pattern repeats to the left, but especially in height. What is your opinion on that?

Love your weekender sweater! I just finally finished mine this weekend.

Hello from Toronto. I am always interested in more notions and tools. However, I guess we are all individual knitters and make personal choices. I received the neck light for Christmas and have not used it yet. Your video enlightened me to using it every day rather than just for car trips. I have tried the row counter that you showed but all those dang leave it’s totally crazy. I stick to my old reliable barrel style Row counter with a ring which I use to pin it to my project. Just a quick turn of the dial and I know what row I am on. I have never invested in those barber cord things because I have several sets of Knitter’s pride interchangeable Needles. If I want to try on a sweater, I just put the item on a long circular needle and then use the end caps to secure the ends. When I put the Needle tips back on the end i just knit the Project back onto whatever needle I’m using. Thanks for showing Molly’s Bags.. I am a real sucker for extra project bags.

Very informative Mindy and a professional walk through. This pattern looks really appealing!!

I love the hat!

Very nice, thank you!! Also nice to see how a row/roundcounter like that works! ALso...lovely yarn 😍

Get gift ideas! Ive paused and gone to purchase things throughout the video! Thank you!

Thank you soooo much for sharing this. I have a favorite yarn company that their hanks always tangle when I try to wind. This trick worked so well.

You are a good friend for showing off what they have made for you. <3 I have not tried the chain type row counters, aways use the abacus ones where you pull down a bead at a time each round , just shift the loop on your needle as you come to it, little notion moves up to register 10s, 20s 30s etc. Yes!! I also like the cords for shifting my work for trying on . Have that size and the next size up if using larger needles. Love all the colors they come in , it is so hard to pick , one spool is more than enough !! I have lengths needed in every project bag , longer pieces for body and 30" is fine for sleeves. I also paid around 10.?? for each, the 54 Yds for regular and 27 yds for the one for larger needles .

Hi. I just found you today. I loved your reviews. I also have a neck lamp, and I can’t be without it. It is also good if the power goes out and everything is dark. You can wear it around your neck and go to the kitchen and make a salad or a sandwich quite easily. I had so many things to tell you in my head during your video. I think I have forgotten the rest of them. Except, I love your pink sweater. I love the style. Is the pattern available? Thanks. I have liked your video and subscribed to your videos. I am so glad I found you today!

2:21 I cannot describe the messes I have made and the time spent, hours, untangling yarn. I've blamed the people who prepare the skeins as they don't seem to arrive in a state of readiness to be wound. Your method looks really promising and I am so grateful to have found you. Thank you!! I will report my next experience! Love to you!

This has saved me SO many hours and so much frustration. Thank you. ❤

Hi Henlia, I watched you for the first time today and want to thank you for your wonderful ideas. I will look forward to seeing future youtube videos.

Thanks! I use to do several of the snaps that you performed at the end to get everything in good order, next time I have a skein needing winding I’ll use your other steps.

This is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve turned 2 hanks into balls, so easy following your instructions. 4 more to do. I thought I needed to buy a yarn winder, but I just needed your technique. Thanks again ❤

Goodness me, this was so helpful. Thank you! Last time, my first time, having to wind my yarn into a cake from a hank I nearly ended up divorced as I blamed all the mistakes I made on my poor darling husband whose only job was to stand still, arms out to hold the yarn 😅

This makes a lot of sense! I'm going to try it out the next time a wind a skein. I think it will be helpful to me because I use a lot of fingering weight yarn and it is really a pain when it gets tangles. Thank you.

Oh how I wish I had found this video two days ago 😂 Never mind, it will come in handy for next time 🤞🏻

Thanks for sharing. Will let you know.

Thank you!

Thanks for that great tip....while I've not had too many issues winding hanks into balls with my swift, I HAVE had issues and so this technique of yours looks like it would do the trick for those hanks that get super tangled! Thanks!

Very helpful. I'd been doing the vertical snap, but adding the horizontal "magic" pull made the yarn smoother yet. Thank you!

Thank you for your garden tour. I am trying japanese indigo, weld, woad, corioposis, calendia,marigolds, black hollyhocks(reseeded from last yr)., All from seed, they are all very small except the hollyhocks. I have zinnia, never used then for dye. How do they work?

Yes, a stroll through your dye garden would be nice!!

Sorry for spell correct typos above!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and plans.I would live to see your dye garden. I live in the PA mountains and our growing season is short like yours. I planted weld, woad, and Japanese indigo seeds so far. Nothing coming up yet.😢

That is gorgeous yarn Mindy!

I was a recipient of the fingering weight Mother's Day Love 2023 package from my hubby and I LOVED!!! IT. Thank you so much for your heartfelt thoughtfulness. I am a subscriber of your website and now your UA-cam channel and I am looking forward to growing with your company.

On this Mother’s Day, I’m thrilled to see that you are out of stock on both boxes! Also, excited for mine to hit the mailbox and reveal the joys that you so thoughtfully curated.

I'm in awe that your 4 top knitting tools are also a part of my knitting world and used constantly. My needle case is by a different designer, but the same concept. Great minds, right? ❤❤❤🎉

Hi Mindy, nice to see you! I'll tune in now that I know you're active here 🤗

Larkspur

Monkey flower is first choice, with spotted fritillary as second choice.

I think your yarn looks stunning!! You managed that with plants which is just great!!

Lovely!!

I needed this video.. thanks a million

Recently I spent a total of 5 hours over 2 days winding a 440-yard hank of fingering-weight Linen Quill yarn into a ball. Instead of hanging the loop of yarn over the back of a chair, I lay it flat on my bed in a circle on top of a fleece blanket that keeps the loop of yarn from sliding around. I place a large Pyrex bowl upside down in the center of the circle to keep the yarn from crossing over on itself. I like having a bird's-eye view of the process. Once I start winding, I flip the loop of yarn over whenever I begin to feel it resisting, and that usually gets it winding smoothly again. Still, it's a pain because Linen Quill yarn sticks to itself like crazy. I have quite a few hanks of it to wind into balls, as I plan to make several Half+Half Triangles Wraps. From now on I am going to prep the yarn according to your instructions first, because I believe that doing so will eliminate most if not all of the twists and stickiness that cause trouble when winding this yarn. I will still continue to wind the yarn on the bed as I explained above, but your prep work instructions should make this onerous task easier because those steps will give the yarn breathing room. Thank you so much for this suggestion.

Thank you, I’ve had such problems with tangles!

You just blew my mind.

This is fab! Thank you so much! At the risk of giving out major facepalm vibes, I’m ashamed to admit the first thing I do is cut those little strands, then just start unwinding…… aaaaand cursing and wondering why my hanks are tangling lol Quick question, do you leave the yarn ties on once you’ve completed the straightening and flattening? Or do you cut them off before unwinding?
