You explain it so clearly and make it look simple! I'm really impressed with your tutorial skills! Can't wait to see what I can do with this technique!! 😍😍
Thank you. This video explain the technique very well, super easy to understand. Just one question, is there a recommended maximum length for the float, I guess the longer they are the less they stay in place properly even with the right tension?
Thank you! There are no rules as such about float lengths however your yarn choice will impact your tension and the manner in which the inlay floats lay flat. Best to experiment.
Thank you. The cast on edge I used in my demo swatch is a long tail cast on. The traditional samples will use a similar cast on but they are often covered up by knit fringe.
The book on amazon is $73.90! (Estonian Knitting I: Traditions and Techniques) Is there a cheaper one that you can suggest? I would love to do maybe one or two projects only. Thank you!
The Estonian Knitting I book is available mostly from its Estonian publisher Saara Kirjastus. If you would like another book option I cover this technique and more alongside projects in my book Traditions Revisited - Modern Estonian Knits which is available from Laine Publishing and many yarn shops worldwide.
The floats are not knitted. You can create a similar effect with embroidery but that will tighten your gauge or tension where as if you do roosimine which is incorporating an embroidered look while knitting it does not affect the overall tension / gauge of the Stockinette knitting. It also easier to place motifs doing it while knitting than doing embroidery afterwards, however that is depending on your preference.
@@AleksByrdDesigns ok. I will try both. You work is very beautiful and you have been so lucky to work with the artists in Lithuania. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill!
You can embroider after knitting but it can be harder with larger or more intricate motifs as you have to do a lot of counting. I personally recommend doing this technique while knitting as it integrates the contrast colour yarn (usually thicker than your main colour) into your knitting tension. You will be already accommodating thicker yarn being placed between stitches as you are knitting, which will not affect the overall tension of your Stockinette gauge. If you embroider afterwards, it will tighten the tension in the areas you are adding a motif as you will be trying to pull through thicker contrast colour yarn into a space that didn't have it before.
Thank you for such a great tutorial. You explain very well with a lovely clear voice.
Inspired!! Colorado Knitter sent me your way❤❤❤❤
That's fantastic. Thank you!

That is a fascinating technique. Thank you for the tutorial!
So interesting! You make it very clear, and I love the giant loop technique.
Thank you! Glad to here it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial, I will be trying this on socks perhaps, would you use yarn single for this.
Awesome. Thank you so much.
Superbe, magnifique, couleurs éclatantes. J'❤💝💞
Thanks for this very Clear e plantion. I'm interesting allo to understand how to secure yarn at the end of design/color. Thanks
Thank you. I have a separate video on how to secure and weave in ends from Roosimine on my UA-cam channel.
Wow. Very interesting and a great job of explaining the tutorial. I’m going to try it!
Wonderful! It's a fun technique.
Muy claro para principiantes
such an interesting technique! Thank you for this video--I have so many ideas in my head now for things to make with this technique! :)
Really interesting technique. Thank you for the demonstration, I found it very useful. xxJane
It is a very interesting and beautiful technique. Glad you found the video helpful.
Great video. Thanks!

i just watched the video but the thought came to me...what if you knit backwards...would you need the large loop? I'll have to try!
Beautiful. What is the cast on edge? I love it! I’m very new to knitting so if it’s a standard, I’ve not seen it yet.
Thank you. The cast on edge I used in my demo swatch is a long tail cast on. The traditional samples will use a similar cast on but they are often covered up by knit fringe.
@@AleksByrdDesigns really??!!! I use the LT cast on and mine NEVER looks like that. haha. (i guess i need more practice) ❤

If you are in North America have you tried using internet library loan?
wow
it doesn't seem that you are knitting the floats. Could you not achieve the same effect by embroidery?

I think that embroidering after knitting would be easier :)
