I don't say it much, but I love all of your content and I find it very helpful. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort that you put into each and every video. It has helped me many times. I am truly grateful. Blessings to you and your family. Nina
Thank you Roxanne, the maths is so interesting. Many women say they aren’t good at math and then figure out these incredibly complex designs incorporating symmetry, repetitive designs, gussets, pattern making. So intricate and beautiful. Thank you.
Those yarns have always been there. I probably had the tripod raised a bit more, or the camera zoomed in a bit differently than in other TechTues vids. (For CasFri, I'm seated.)
Really?!? hahah I wonder if my book covers it. I just imagine having to toss the whole thing out because I cut wrong or can't keep things from unraveling.
This is do interesting , I never thought to keep the ribbing like this , so that cool to knit 3 sts both sides. Thank you so much I've learned a new and much better way, than what I've been doing. I've have truly learned so much from your videos.
A charity that I knit for likes cardigans for babies rather than jumpers. I came across a sweet jumper pattern and intend to convert it to a cardigan. I thought I knew how to do it ... and I did, sort of, lol. This is a very timely tutorial. You pointed out things I wouldn't have thought about until I was actually knitting it up. Thank you for saving me from certain frogging.
Thank you. I have Melissa Leapmans 6000 Pull over possibilities, but I wanted to make a cardigan… And was just a bit hesitant on whether I added stitches for the overlap… I appreciate this video. I’ll definitely have to watch it a couple more times to make sure I have retained all the information.
So many terrific pointers in your videos! Thanks so much. While converting from one form to another may not seem to complicated, it's very helpful to know what to watch out for to achieve the best results. Personally, I've never been a fan of knitting in the round for a couple of reasons. I'm not a fan of the needles and was not sure I'd be happy with the lack of perfect symmetry. Perhaps I'm a bit too picky as I doubt anyone would really notice. Then again, every time I make something, I dread stitching the pieces together. I knit quite a few sweaters and socks and hope to do more fair isle for both. And I think I've about had my fill of DPNs for socks. I like quite a tightly knit sock, but wow is it hard to find small needles like 1.00 - 1.5 mm fixed length. I absolutely love the tiny sweater examples you knit for this technique Tuesday!! ☺
I would love to see a deep dive into converting a pullover to a cardigan, especially on the different types of button bands and how they affect fit. I wonder if different button bands are more appropriate for some pullover conversions than others and how I'd know which one to choose.
When you say "different button bands," what do you mean, exactly? Picked up vs sewn on? Folded stockinette? Knitted-in garter stitch? Or something else? Or are you talking about a difference in width, or stitch pattern?
@@RoxanneRichardson Yes, different types of construction (sewn on, picked up, steeked, folded stockinette) but also how stitch patterns affect the fit. Is one stitch pattern better in some cases than others or is it just about aesthetics? I don't know much about button bands and they intimidate me.
@@casual_cupcake I would suggest looking at a bunch of cardigans, so you can see how the button band stitch pattern is related to the other bands on the sweater. :-)
Hi Roxanne, Thank you for sharing your vast knitting knowledge with all of us. It's appreciated more than I can express. A couple of videos I would like to see. A technique video showing how to create a shawl neck (cardigan) which the collar edge will lie even with the seam (picked up button band) or there abouts. I've knit a couple one is the "Ausable" which you have used in an other TTs. This is a shawl collar pet peeve. Am I looking for an impossibility or is there a solution?? Also, I have pattern for a top down, in the round sweater, crew neck. I would like to make it into a v-neck. It also has raglan sleeves. Thank you for sharing your vast knitting knowledge with all of us. It's appreciate it more than I can express. Thank you, again.
The issue is the trend of wide neck openings. For whatever reason, many designers don't recognize that a shawl collar and wide neck are not compatible. Prior to this trend, it would have been perfectly reasonable to make any style of neck using the same back-of-neck width.
@@naturallyinspired1988 Vintage patterns, in particular, do shawl collars really well. There are also several ways of constructing shawl collar that are different from what is typically done in contemporary patterns
hello - thank you for this tutorial - it's something i've been wondering about for awhile. i have a pullover pattern in mind that i would like to knit as a cardigan instead, and if i'm understanding you correctly, if i simply decide to put in a steek down the center - that would be ok? what i'm really wondering about is any potential changes to fit - the pattern i have in mind is a yoked pattern, and i'm wondering if it would sit 'funny' after i steek it - any thoughts on that? thanks again - cheers!
So much depends on what it is, specifically, that you want to take from the raglan and apply to the set-in sleeve version. Is it just the stitch pattern? Is it the neckline? The amount of ease? Something else?
If your body is rectangular, but you don’t want all the extra bulk under the arms, can you use a different arm hole shape on the arms? I just started my very first cardigan. So I went simple. But I don’t want the extra bulk under the arms. So I am now trying to figure out how I am going to do this shape now. 😅
Set in sleeves tend to give the best fit. They are more complex than a drop shoulder or modified drop shoulder. The simpler the construction, the simpler the fit.

Love the new video setting with the yarns hanging down. Nice
Those yarns have always been there. I probably had the tripod raised a bit more, or the camera zoomed in a bit differently than in other TechTues vids. (For CasFri, I'm seated.)
That was very, very intersting. I especially liked the explanations on the construction of the button bands and the symetry in the ribbing. THANKS !
Omg! I love that you made tiny sweaters!!!!
this was so helpful!! thank you! the miniatures are adorable
I love steeking. It’s one of my favorite techniques. It’s scary sounding but so easy. Thanks for this video. So many possibilities.

Thank you! I can't wait to watch your other video on flat to round! I didn't realize you had one. Wonderful best teacher ever! Lol 👍
Thank you Roxanne. You really suit that shade of green btw 😍

Oh, more tiny sweaters! When you are done, send directly to me!
Very interesting Roxanne! Thanks for another great video!💕
Most informative. Thank you. 🇬🇧
That was fantastic! Thank you!

What do you mean by "sit funny"? Is there something specific you're concerned about?
I’m interested in converting raglans to set-in sleeves that are sewn in. Is that possible? If so, I’d love to see some videos on that topic.

How's your cardigan going? Are you taking it slow, or did you finish already? Having fun? Or get stumped?
I'm try to find the next vedio (August 10 )but I can't find ma'am..

@@RoxanneRichardson thank you replied me.. I'm watching your play list ma'am ❤ ( greeting from Srilanka..love your vedio and explana one by one)
Can the same go for a Raglan sweater?
The type of sweater doesn't matter. The concept is the same.
