I love you shop and enjoy visiting it when I’m in MA. Your explanation for German short rows is terrific. I look forward to your blogs. Thank you.

Could you please let us know how to get the pattern for the interlocking skirt.
Love your podcast.
Greetings from Germany and happily new year

Love the shawl recommendation for short rows. I found Ysabel…is that the one you showed? There’s always something extra on this podcast and it is so appreciated! Thank you! 🧶

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Yes it is Ysabel. Watch for a kit coming soon.

Thanks for another great podcast. I prefer German short rows and usually substitute these for W & T. The thing I don’t know how to do if it is not part of a pattern is to modify the pattern by adding short rows at the back of a neck; I prefer the back neckline to be higher than the front. Love the Ysabel shawl with short rows and your version of the Missoni Accomplished sweater!

I’d appreciate a video on substituting German short rows for wrap and turns.

Thank you,Nancy,great tutorial.I have to buy the pattern to the beautiful skirt but afraid to come to your store with so much beautiful yarn ,with my addiction,I will buy more.

[@debracoulter7089]

i enjoy watching you and like the yarn you have i watch from canada

[@pauladoherty2602]

Yes please to wrap and turn! Thank you.

[@paulhermann8239]

I see the difference between the two, I have only done the wrap and turn. The German short row seems to be used more now and I think it’s worth learning. But, I can see it will take some getting use to.

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Try it out! Will only take you a once or twice to get comfortable... Good luck!

How awesome of your yarn store to be so willing to help! My local yarn store will charge a fee to help. I bought yarn from them and got stuck with instructions. So I didn’t like that and never bought from them again. This was when I was got back to knitting, before UA-cam and social media. Needless to say, they went out of business with the pandemic!

Thanks for the tipps! While watching it I actually knitt a sock with german short rows. I am german speaking and was wondering what german short rows are as we call them differently. Learned something new! :)

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Perfect for socks!
