    I swear there's something medicinal about your tutorials, Staci. I feel a bit off my game (upset stomach, flu-y, head cold)... I binge on your videos and hey-presto, my symptoms are gone. :D

    You're more advanced as a knitter than I can possibly hope to be. I am new at this and even have a bit of trouble sometimes with beginner patterns. I love these shaker clothes and I hope to be able to make one someday. You are a real pro. I really admire all your designs.

    This is just the best lesson ever!! Even if one is not into knitted or crocheted dish cloths this is invaluable as a lesson. So many facets of effective knitting is covered here, even including the perplexing problem of weaving off the stray bits so they won't unravel. Thanks so much - one of my favourites.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +2

    If you're following the pattern you're doing it correctly. Small holes are normal, and they disappear after you machine wash and dry the dishcloths. The look of all of your stitches will improve after washing and drying.

  • @jandroid1962
    @jandroid1962 6 років тому +1

    I just ordered this pattern! Guess what I'm doing tonight? Thank you for such a great instructional channel. In the year and half I've been knitting I've learned so much from your videos. Most of my knitting knowledge comes from you. Thanks!

    I love this pattern. My daughter is going to Liberty University in fall and I've decided to make her and her roommate a set of 7 each for washcloths in the colors of their dorm room. She loves them. I will post pics on fb of the finished sets. :)

    Yes - using another device (like a mobile device) will get you around that. But the instructions I gave you to go to Ravelry directly will bypass my website, and not trigger your antivirus software.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +2

    Kathy - thank you for the note! That is a mistake, and I've corrected the pattern. You should get a notice that the new pattern is available for download to you. Instead of "19", it should read "11". The entire line is "Begin working these 12 rows a 12th time, but complete 11 rows only."

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +1

    The link to my website appears just below the video (in the video description field, between the video and the comments section). It also appears on screen, in the video at 1:41. Clicking on either will take you to my website.

  • @mslaceyrose413
    @mslaceyrose413 9 років тому

    I watched all sections of the video through just to familiarize myself with the processes involved, because this is coming up in my que! If I ever get through my first lace project that is. It didn't come with videos like yours do. Lesson learned :)
    I've been dealing with cognitive issues for a while now and have a hard time retaining information, so it takes a lot of time before I finally "get" something. The additional support of visual instruction to supplement the written pattern really, really helps!

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +1

    This video is made to accompany a written pattern. It isn't confusing when you use both the pattern and the video together. In fact, Ravelry users have rated this pattern as "easy".

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +1

    Hi Kathy - yes, and yes. :) I agree with you...I find 100% cotton yarn to be stressful on my hands. The yarn I use in this pattern (Knit Picks Comfy Worsted) is easy on my hands, and absorbent as a finished dishcloth. In fact, I prefer the cotton/acrylic blend as a dishcloth, too - not just as a knitter.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +2

    Hi Sandra - yes, the brand of antivirus software called Avast is currently giving false-positive virus warnings for my website. There is no virus, and I've gone around and around with the company trying to get this fixed. I don't know what else I can do. But you can still get your pattern...just go to Ravelry and search the patterns for "Shaker Dishcloths". You can get your pattern straight from there.

    I was looking for a round knit trivet pattern and was having trouble finding patterns that were round looking instead of a hexagonal shape. I'm so happy to have found your video and can't wait to make a couple of these dishcloths to use as trivets.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +1

    No, gauge isn't really important. I list it in the pattern for these reasons - with the correct gauge, the size of the dishcloths/coasters will be as listed in the pattern; and the yardage needed will also be accurate. Different gauge will require different yarn amounts, and will create differently-sized dishcloths.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +2

    Thank you for the note, Sonia. My website is up and running fine, but if you are using Avast (AVG) antivirus software, you will see a false-positive virus warning. There is no virus, and I have tried and tried to get the company to remove the warning, to no avail.
    You can still follow me on Ravelry, Facebook, and UA-cam. Or if you like, you can send a trouble ticket to your antivirus software company, encouraging them to fix the problem.

    I can't wait to make these! What a fun way for me to learn new skills! You have taught me so much with your vids! I'm now finishing an entrelac baby blanket for grandchild number six, thanks to you.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +1

    It will work, yes. But your gauge (stitches per inch) will probably be different than I have in the pattern, and so the thickness of the dishcloth and/or diameter will be different.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому

    Hi Leonie - yes, after you've knit this pattern, you can see how it can be easily modified to any size, even all the way up to a baby blanket. I give guidelines for resizing in the pattern.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому

    Linda - you always want to make dishcloths that can be machine washed and dried. If yours are "shrinking" - the shrunken size is the actual size they are after they're washed and blocked (in this case, machine washed and dried). If they're smaller than you like, you may want to make them bigger, or use a bigger gauge. For this pattern, in this yarn, the finished dishcloth is over 8" in diameter, which is a good size.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  10 років тому +1

    Hi Ethel - you could make this dishcloth the top of a beret, but it would take more than modifying this pattern. You would actually need a whole new pattern to turn the circle into a hat.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому

    I can't picture exactly what you're describing, but if you're working stripes in the round, you do want to correct the color change jog (knitting into the stitch below on the second round of the new color is a good way). You can see it demonstrated in my video "Knitting Help - Correcting Color Change Jog".

    And the gauge swatch was fine. You're corrext in that the gaps closed up a little after adjusting the stitches. I'll wash, block it and see, and also try the range of needle sizes recommended for the yarn on my next one. I appreciate your input.

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому +1

    I haven't done the felting yet, but I'm sure it will felt nicely. I'm still waiting for a load hot-wash laundry to pile up, so I can throw the wool circle in there!

  • @verypinkknits
    @verypinkknits  11 років тому

    Sorry - I can't do that. If your parents don't let you buy knitting patterns, you can always browse all of the free patterns/tutorials I have available. I have a ton of them, and you can see them on my channel page, or on my website.

  • @verypinkknits

    Hey Ms Stacie; I love all your videos and patterns, cause you make it really simple to watch and learn; however, on this particular pattern I continually have holes in my work. I am going to assume it has something to do with my turning and/or slip. But I promise I have watched the video over and over and I am pretty sure I am doing like you have shown and said to do. Please help, thank you. Polly Oh I am following the "no picot edge" instructions.

  • @shelly5596
    @shelly5596 4 роки тому

    Really neat. I've made a bunch with a similar pattern that had 14 points but is cast on without the provisional cast on method. seaming up the ends leaves a ridge and the center hole is larger. I'll give this method a try. I like to use them as washcloths so I always use cotton yarn. I'm curious if you did felt your wool yarn sample and if so how it turned out. Thank you for the tutorial video, very helpful and informative.

    Hi Staci,
    I was viewing the Tunisian crotchet version when I saw this and just bought the kindle version. I was just going to dive in with Aran weight cotton yarn and 5mm needle, and thought to ask if it will work. I am a self-taught beginner knitter and sorry if you already answered this somewhere here. I couldn't read through all the comments. Many thanks.

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  8 років тому +1

      +Anthonia Onwordi - I recommend using the suggested needle size and yarn weight, but you can always start the pattern and see if you like the fabric. If you like the fabric you're creating, you're good.

    I REALLY am in love with this pattern both my husband and i have made these beautiful dishcloths and i want to make some for Christmas gifts ... My question to you is the yarn that i was able to get is not as strong and when doing the Kitchener stitch my yarn broke 3X :( would you recommend I just do it loose and have that gaping seam or would you recommend i use another seaming technique?

    • @verypinkknits
      @verypinkknits  8 років тому +1

      I would recommend using a different yarn for the seam, or holding (double stranded) a polyester thread along with your yarn when seaming.

    Holey Moley, got finished and evidently somehow ( duh, wasn't paying enuf attention, cause I thought I had it) I messed up the kitchener stitch. I am thinking that I would have to be pretty advanced to "undo" the kitchener stitich, and is it even possible. This one is my first so it is has certainly been a great learning tool. Any advice, or shall I just keep it as a reminder to pay attention. Thanks Stacey, Polly

    So I guess this is what you call "short rows" but without the wrap and turn. I would really like a video explaining that as I want to make the Sort Row Ruffled Shawl (by Grace Akhrem) and would like a lesson on short rows to prepare for it.

    • @verypinkknits

      This project is in garter stitch, so short rows can be worked without wraps & turns. Here is my video on wraps & turns:

    @hkbb8627 5 років тому

    I purchased this pattern - it's such an easy, fun knit! I've made this pattern the way you designed it and everything turned out beautifully, but I was wondering - why use kitchener for stockinette instead of kitchener for garter (or as most people seem to call it "garter grafting stitch)? Just curious.

      There is no need...it ends up looking fine. If you did kitchener for garter, you would have two purl bump rows right next to each other, which would catch the eye.

      Ah. I hadn't tried it, but that makes sense. Thank you!

    I love these. I was searching for how to knit something round so I could make felted round coasters. Have you ever made these in wool and felted them?

      Yes - I have. I made the dishcloths and felted them to use as trivets for putting hot things on the wood table, they work really well!
