    I found that knitting toe up socks helped me with the fit because you can try them on as you are knitting. I started out as a cuff down sock knitter, but once I tried toe up that’s my preferred method now. 💕

    Hi, when you turned the hat and took the yarn to the back again, there is one stitch left at the end of the Row. Can you please help. Thank you very much and have a happy weekend best regards from Germany :)

    • @knitcalifornia
      @knitcalifornia День тому

      I think you just need to knit that stitch together with another stitch when you get back around your row. It’s like you are completing a double stitch in a German short row. Hope that makes sense!

    I made the Arcuate Vest a couple years ago (inspired by Kate of Red Door) and I really like it! It was my first time doing all over cables and it was a great introduction. It is bottom up and written pretty cropped though so if I knit it again I’d buy extra yarn and make it longer. I made mine in Hedgehog Tweedy so it’s my nice “neutral with a pop” piece.

    • @knitcalifornia
      @knitcalifornia 8 днів тому

  • @andreaderosier1461
    @andreaderosier1461 8 днів тому

    I suggest that you try on some ready to wear vests to see what style you like. The styles are all over the map and the ease is also all over the map. Try them on with what you would typically wear with a vest.

  • @sarahashley13
    @sarahashley13 8 днів тому

    I'm curious how you feel about math? I know spreadsheets make you happy so maybe math does? If so, draw the outline of your foot to figure out the number of rows. Take into account negative ease. I like doing the math because not all yarns are equal so my row gauge determines how many rows in the foot. For the cuff, a random rule of thumb I like is 1/3 the number of rows of the leg (it's gives a pleasing proportion). So 72 round leg, I'd knit a 24 row cuff, 60 round leg, 20 row cuff, 48 leg 16 cuff, etc.

    • @knitcalifornia
      @knitcalifornia 8 днів тому

      I love math! Thanks for this suggestion. I didn’t even consider that I may have a slightly different gauge with different yarns 😅 but that absolutely makes sense! And I’ll test that ratio for the cuff!

  • @darlenedavis3585
    @darlenedavis3585 9 днів тому

    Your Loch Ness Cowl is looking incredible. If one of the yarns is a bit thicker the better one is the one for the colorwork so you are fine. It could help stand out more. Blocking makes such an incredible difference on colorwork. I did a tube scarf last year in colorwork but was fingering and I was amazed with the difference once blocked. Great progress on the rest of your projects as well.

    Yay! You're back! Thanks for shouting out the Scotland Knitting Tour! <3 <3 <3 I love your colorwork cowl so much. My favorite part is how it looks like a herringbone pattern from far away. Like a fashionable easter egg hidden in the pattern! Can't wait to see your Book Club Cardigan finished, too. This is really making me want to cast mine on.

      Of course! I want everyone to experience a Rachel is Knitting Tour!!! You need to cast on the Book Club Cardigan so you can experience the magic (and pain) of knitting it with me! 😂

    Thank you for a wonderful video! Do you recall where you got your yarn holder/stand? It looks very cute and functional. Thanks!

      It's from Botanical Yarn! I love how simple and functional it is when I'm knitting at my desk!
