one thing only to say... what an excellent teacher you are!!!!!
Many thanks from me...really clear and helpful, so simple when you explain it, but I couldn't work it out and cursed my loose columns.
Knitting is so calming in these difficult times and it's comforting to know we are supporting eachother.
You're welcome!
Thank You! I really like that you demonstrate the "why" instead of just saying "do this".
Thank you! 🧶
Your technical analysis is of a high level and therefore very valuable. It ensures that you understand your own knitting and do not ( cannot) forget the improvements you show us. I'm still a great fan of your tutorials!
Thank you!
When it's K1P1 do you just tighten the K1 in English Knit? Thanks Marianne 💕
you're the first person who has shown how to fix wonky edges. Thank you.
Great! Happy knitting.
Thank you for passing on your technical expertise. Your explanations and demonstrations have elevated my knitting. Thank you!
I love that you showed the why.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, Michele! ❤️
Brilliance! I love your analytical approach to these knitting issues. It feels like a light bulb moment. Thanks so much. It is greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much. I love how you get in depth and search for the reason which causes the problem. I’ll use this techniques to improve my ribbing.
You are very welcome, Maria! And thank you, I appreciate your kind feedback! ❤️
I'm currently swatching for an all-over 4x4 ribbed garment, so I thought it was time to tidy up my ribbing. Unfortunately, your advice for me only made a marginal difference, with the adverse effect of being VERY strenuous on my hands and wrists.
However, your comment about how much you like figuring out why things do or do not work encouraged me to try and figure this out, and your demonstration on the distance traveled by the yarn between purls and knits gave me an idea which seems to have done the trick!
Firstly, I am a combination knitter - meaning I work my knits in a Western manner (wrapping the yarn anti-clockwise) and my purls in an Eastern manner (wrapping the yarn clockwise), meaning I ALWAYS wrap my yarn towards the left-hand needle and my knits and purls are perfectly symmetrical.
It puzzled me that you (and other sources) mentioned that the problem only occurs when changing from a purl to a knit. For me, it occurs in both instances (because as said, the way I work my stitches gives the exact same result if it's a purl or a knit). So obviously, the way the yarn is wrapped makes the difference. So it occurred to me, if this is true for the transition from a knit to a purl - then it must be true for the transition from a purl to a knit as well.
So I tried wrapping my LAST knit stitch in Eastern style (so clockwise) and wrapping my LAST purl stitch in Western style (so anti-clockwise).
This has tidied up my ribbing MUCH more effectively WITHOUT putting any additional strain on my hands!
(For 100% Western knitters, all you would have to change is how you wrap your LAST knit stitch before changing to a purl. Be mindful however that this will result in a differently mounted stitch when you come to work it again.)
Thank you Suzanne for the insight and especially the encouragement to use my mind rather than my hands to solve this problem.
I'm happy to hear that you've been able to overcome the difficulties you've encountered, and glad as well that my video was helpful (even if just a bit). The mind and hands can achieve wondrous things when we stretch them out. Thanks for sharing your journey! 😊
i'm learning so much from you. thank you!
I am so happy to know you. You are the best teacher. Every video is a gift for all of us. Thank you so much. 😀 ❤️ 💞 👍 🌻🌷
You are very welcome! Happy knitting.
What a great way to illustrate the extra yarn. Thanks!
Thank you, Nono, I'm glad you liked it!
Such precious info! You're a treasure for a knitter.
Thank you for your work!
Truly appreciated! 🌟❤️
You are very welcome. Happy knitting.
Wow!! Thank you, this has been an eye opener for sure. Definitely putting these into practice.
This is wonderful to hear, Karen, and you are very welcome! Thanks for the great feedback!
You are so clever and I love how your mind works in a similar way to my own as you investigate everything!. Have a fab eve 💞
Thank you! You too! 🧶
Very helpful going to swatch my ribbing now. Thanks Suzanne
Great! Can't wait to see! Happy knitting.
Excellent information, and clear explanation and demonstration. Thank you!
Thank you! Happy knitting.
This is so easy and the effect is so great! How your deductive mind is a joy for many knitters.
You are very welcome SD Ra. Thank you and Happy knitting.
Just started implementing the pearling mounting technique you shared mid-row!! I'm in awe, thank you!!
Yay, that's wonderful to hear, Skyler! ❤️
Thanks Suzanne. This was very helpful. It enabled me to understand my problems with ribbing. 😊
Great! Happy knitting.
Great explanation of the process and effects! I like that you edit out unimportant parts.
Glad you liked it! 🧶
Hi Suzanne, thank you so much for your tutorial, I have learned some good things here....soooo interesting ☺️
I love what you said about the 'engineering part of knitting', I also enjoy figuring things out from the "technical" side of things, as it were. It gives a clearer understanding of what I'm dealing with in my craft and improves my skill. I look forward to more videos. Thanks again
You are very welcome Helen A.! Happy knitting.
Wow! What a knitting mind !!
Thanks for watching.
Very helpful. Thank you ☺️
You are very welcome, Paintnknit! 😊
Thank you ❤🎉 awesome!
Have a Happy Blessed Easter ✝️🌷💓
omg this tip is amazing!!! thank you so much for such a great video 💖💖
You are very welcome Peach Mint! Happy knitting.
Thank you! Such valuable help!
You're very welcome!
I am danish and everybody here knits continental - we do purling in rib, letting the thread stay behind the work all the time. We fetch the thread with the right needle and the tension stay the same - its quicker because you dont have to take thread back and forth while ribbing. But of course it does not feel easy, if you are not used to it.
Thanks for sharing! I have tried this, but am not proficient at it yet.
Thank you so much for the tip! I am a beginner so my work will look nice from now on :)
Wonderful. It is good to get off to the best start. Happy knitting.
I just subscribed
This was such a great tutorial !!
Thank you so very much
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you! I have been looking all over for tipps like this because my ribbing did not look Good. 🥰
Glad I could help!
Otro excelente tutorial. De gran ayuda. Muchas Gracias 👏👏👏
Thank you! Happy knitting.
I knitted 3 practice swatches with 3 needle sizes and they all have ugly gaps. Glad I found this! Thank you.
Great.
Nothing worse than sloppy rubbing on a lace glove cuff Thanks & Love for everything you have taught me ❤
You are awesome! Thank you so much!!!
Happy Knitting!
Thanks!
You are very welcome Bonnie Harcey! Happy knitting.
Great information. I keep forgetting to tighten up that purl after the knit. :)
Thanks, happy knitting.
Wow! This is wonderful! I always hated those unkept looking stitches on one side. Subscribed & Liked! I am thinking about learning Continental Knitting. I am hoping you have a tutorial for it. I love the way you explain everything and bring the work up close. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm so happy the video helped, Roberta, and thanks for subscribing! Here is a link for the Continental Knit Stitch. ua-cam.com/video/uqKFl7hBifs/v-deo.html
Oops! I found the technique in your "Fixing messy edge stitches" video" Thanks so much for all you do!
Great! Happy knitting!
Hi Suzanne☺ And again a really helpful tipp!! I have studied to knit in the english/french way with the yarn on the right hand. in a few weeks I've got it!!! And I can say it is wonderful! And I found out that the stitches are stronger than with yarn on the left hand! As you have showed thats the trick!! The yarn has another distance (?😆), so to call. Therefore your knittingwork has a more evenly structur. Thank you very much for your clearly explanations! Have a good time, all the luck of the world for you and all you love! GittaLloreley from Germany🍀😇😇🍀🌹🌹🌳🌳💗
Such a nice comment. Happy knitting to you!
@@SuzanneBryan ☺😇😇💋💋
You make it so simple when I tried to purl in the back loop it's awkward, I very much like your videos they are very detailed and thank you
You can do it! practicing helps a lot. that's why I like swatching, for practicing.
Спасибо большое!
Thank you! Happy knitting.
I always feel that the ribbed brims of my hats don't feel snug enough, even when I go down a needle size from the crown. I'm looking forward to seeing if this technique ameliorates that situation. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience.
I think this will make a huge difference. Let me know! Happy knitting.
I found that tugging the knit stitch befire the purl made me tense. You showed in another video that the purl after the knit could be done through the back instead. That works better for me although the stitch mount is reversed in the next row. Thanks for analyzing the stitches.
Excellent. Thanks for adding to the content. Happy knitting.
Great information and you explained it so well.
I have a question, I have been watching your KAL on the cardigan sweater. Am wondering if I buy your pattern now will I be able to understand your pattern and do all the things that you have shown in the beginning of your KAL. I am not a experienced knitter but have done socks, scarf etc but never done a sweater.
Yes, you will do fine. I have written and video support for every step of the way, plus you can contact me or any of the other participants through our Ravelry group - Knitting with Suzanne Bryan for one on one support.
I'm an engineer and one of the aspects that I love the most about knitting is the way the yarn moves. I think the geometry of knitting is very, very complex. I find my ribbing is different when I'm knitting socks toe up or cuff down (toe up is more relaxed and sometimes loose). Could you do a similar analysis? Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
Very interesting. Yes, I will add to my video list. thank you! Happy knitting
Thanks again for this fantastic explanation. May I ask you the size of needles and yarn that you use for these swatches? They make such a nice combination. Have you a preference for the lenght of needles and type of needles ? Many thanks
For this video I used US 7 needles 24" circular. The yarn is worsted weight 100% merino wool, non-superwash.
I do prefer Hiya Hiya sharps or Chicago Lace needles. I like the sharp tips, then make my knitting look more even.
many thanks!
I believe it was in the "Knitting Without Tears" book that I read that after you knit the first stitch in a row, you should insert the needle in the second stitch and then tug on the yarn to tighten things up before completing the second stitch. Do you think this method would be comparable to your technique? I know I should do a swatch :).
Yes, it works great! Happy knitting. I have always attributed that bit of information to Maggie Righetti.
I'm assuming you should always use this tightening of the knit stitch with ribbing approach in the round.
Whether knitting flat or in the round, yes, use the tightening between the knit and the purl. Great question.
I noticed that in the edge and bind off techniques, you didn’t pull the stitch tight when you changed from knit to purl. Isn’t it necessary in these cases?
I do, you just don't notice, I do it instinctively. In fact, I have to try hard to not do it for the samples. Happy knitting.
In this video: ua-cam.com/video/ravgF2nmc5I/v-deo.html you were saying we should wrap the yarn clockwise on the KNIT before the purl, not on the purl after the knit. Is it the same result? Thanks.
Try it both ways and see what you think? Sometimes one works better than the other, depending on the knitter. 🧶
