Wow, Im really lucky because my stranded knitting isnt lumpy and bumpy. Maybe its not just luck, I worked to vet the strands the right tension right when I was first learning stranded knitting. I thought Id comment about that just so the info is out there; it can be done! The way I hold and tension my yarn is unlike anything Ive seen on you tube so that would be a good thing to make a tutorial on now thst I realise its not something most people know how to do.
Thank you for your teaching techniques. I appreciate your knowledge
Another informative and fun episode! I learn something from each one!
Thank you!
This video has so many jewels as always thank you Suzanne!👍🏼❤️
You are so welcome!
I am not knitting this project at this moment. However I follow your fantastics sessions, as much as I can. Thanks
Thank you!
Yes! Make the video for all the little things that happen in your knitting and why they happen and how to avoid it. 👍
I am going to get it done real soon. It will include, accidental: dropped stitches, slipped stitches, yarn overs, and mid row turns. Can you think of anything else I should add?
@@SuzanneOfftheCuff Those are all good. I would also like to see what causes a Bind Off that is too tight and how to avoid it. Thanks.
Excellent, I am adding that to the list as well. Good one Wilson.
@@SuzanneOfftheCuff Thank you Suzanne. Looking forward.
Hi from NYC, Suzanne et al
Hello Champe!
Which pattern is your yoke sweater Suzanne? I love it. ❤
It is the one that goes with the tutorial ITAG Yoke on Ravelry. Thank you Marlene
QUESTION : What brand of knitting needles do you use?? I notice the point is smaller and longer than most of the "less expensive" brands . I am looking to buy a set of new circular needles.
My favorites right now are Hiya Hiya sharps and Chiagoo Lace. They are both reasonably priced and have nice pointy tips which I prefer or cables and lace work.
Bonnie Davis; Yes I am going to MDSW. Wouldn’t it be fun to meet up and talk about our iTAG yokes?
I am going to go next year, if it is on. See you then.
Hi Suzanne.
Thanks for another informative video. You talked about upper waist or under bust shaping using different styles. I'm still in the middle of my yoke. Will you please make your "famous" short video about this?
That would be great help 😊
Thanks 🙏
What would you like included in the video?
@@SuzanneOfftheCuff
Hi Suzanne I am a bit confused about how and where to start the bust shaping from. I am making my first ever top down cardigan with steek. Please do explain the different types of bust and waist shaping.
Thanks🙏
@@SuzanneOfftheCuff
Hi again 🙂
Can you please please please make a tutorial video about the different ways of bust n waist shaping.
Thanks 🙏
Waiting eagerly 🙂
Did you get to see the episode I put up yesterday? I went into more detail
Look for episode #8. If you still need more after that, please let me know.
Suzanne - Off the Cuff
Thanks for replying Suzanne. I can't watch your videos live because it's after midnight in India so I still have to watch that.
I have just completed the bust and I don't know when to start all that shaping process.
Now I'm going to follow your advice and watch that video.
Thanks again 🙏🙏🙂
If the waist shaping is oversized you could use an sewing machine and take out a half inch?
Certainly.

What is steek/stique/stik?
skeeting is a technique to knit cardigan in the round and cut it after. i suggest seeing a video to understand better.
Another great one Suzanne! . For those of you that like lots of info about yokes, Amy Beth ,AKA Fat Squirrel on UT has a fitting episode on the Afterparty sweater( a yoke sweater) . She has lots of ideas for plus size issues. :)
Thank you for sharing.
In the beginners video please include accidental yarn overs or missed yarn overs.
Thank you, i have added this to the list for the video.
