I’ll Knit If I Want To: Episode 88
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Welcome to I’ll Knit (& Spin!) If I want To! I asked y’all to send in some of your questions (from everything from fiber arts, to designing and on!) so I could put together a little video for y’all every Friday doing my best to answer your questions!
In this week’s episode we cover:
1. Okay, follow up question from episode 87........you mentioned wanting to pick only one pattern to knit forever from each category. So what would those be? I assume the DRK socks because you mentioned those, and the DRK sweater because that was the one you chose for the one and only, but what about other categories?
2. What are your favorite brand of knitting needles & why? And do you prefer interchangeable sets or solid/single size & length needles? If you prefer the latter, how do you store them?
3. I recently finished a weekender light out of my handspun yarn and it has absolutely lit a fire under me to knit with more of my handspun yarn. What would be your advice for the next sweater or cardigan pattern I could knit with handspun. I prefer fingering weight to sport but at open to anything. Thank you for a continuous flow of wonderful patterns to knit.
4. Hi, Andrea! I am taking part in the S2Kit Weekender KAL this year. I spun some beautiful 2 ply BFL in 3 different colorways (2 bumps each) done up in a fractal. The first bump is spun from head to toe in one long continuous color and then the second is broken up into small chunks to be spun and plied with the other two bumps of long continuous color. This way the long continuous bump is never piled with itself. This is proving problematic with knitting the front and back separate. So, I was considering to add stitches where the pattern says to divide for front and back, and then continuing in the round in order to steek for the sleeves. How would you go about doing this? About how many stitches would you add? Did I mention this is my first time steeking...ever! yikes Any other tips would be fantastic! For reference I am knitting size number 4 with 58 stitches on front and back, and then picking up 68 for the sleeve. Thank you for being my knitting answer lady and keeping me company on Fridays while I knit at the laundromat. Have a fabulous weekend!
5. Hi Andrea. I notice you frequently use the long trail tubular bind off in your patterns. I always had a really difficult time doing this BO until I was introduced to the “1x1 invisible BO” which seems a LOT like the long tail tubular bind off but all on one needle. Questions… are these the same thing? Is it possible to do the long tail tubular bind off on one needle? (For some reason I get all confused when I add a second needle). And finally, do you have any tips to put down and pick up your knitting while doing the tubular BO. I find I never have enough time to do it in one sitting (yay! Toddlers) and always have a hard time knowing where I left off when I pick it up again.

My advice for doing the Italian / tubular bind off (as well as grafting by the Kitchener stitch) is to do all the four steps, and ALWAYS do the four steps before putting down the project and doing anything else that requires your attention. 😂
Thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate that you don’t edit your videos, they feel so much more personal, like sitting and crafting with a friend :) thank you take the time to make these each week. They have become my Saturday or Sunday morning routine while I spin 🥰
Re cables for Lykke - the new knit pro (knitters pride in US) mindful cables fit Lykke AND they have a memory-free cable like chiaogoo - game changer 😊 just love your podcast x
Yes! I only use my lykke needles with the Knitter's Pride Mindful cables, which are very similar to the Chiagoo red cables.
Chiagoo needles are my favorites, too. I just treated myself to a set of Chiagoo wooden tips and they came with the spin cords - ALL pieces are interchangeable with the metal tips and red cords. Staying with a single brand has its advantages! I have supplemented my sets with additional cords, extra tips in the sizes I use most, and now have a completely versatile collection.
I did the same with my Chiagoo bamboo tips I purchased years ago! Don’t know if they changed their cables on those since I bought them, but they are not the same fabulous red cable and they would kink, which also drives me crazy. But I love the bamboo tips and, like you, I use them with my red cables. ❤

My tip for the Lykke cords…buy the cords from the Knitter’s Pride Mindful collection. They are aqua and are just like the Chiaogoo Cords…nylon coated stainless, but they also swivel. Would seriously go great with your pink tips especially. I use them with my driftwood set and they are fantastic!
Do they fit???? I'll buy all of the cables to be able to magic loop with my Lykke's
I was wondering if those fit!
they work.. i have the knitpro cords and use them with my lykke needles
@@knithow oh yeah, they definitely fit. I use with every time I use my Lykke’s.
@@dolphinjedi I’m so excited now!!
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦. Regarding needle cords for the lykke set - lantern moon cords fit the lykke and they’re coated metal cords similar to chiaogoos cords.
Hi Andrea. When I have curly needle cords, I boil water and run the cord through the steam back and forth a few times and voila! A relaxed cord ready for casting on.
I love ChiaoGoo too. And I am an avid magic loop knitter. When I bought the mini set - Size 0-3, I loved the tiny, flexible cords that came with them. They were so much more flexible than the regular red cords. I discovered the adapters so that you can use the mini cords on larger size ChiaGoo needles. I purchases several 40+ inch cords that fit the mini’s and use the adaptors to use those cords on my larger ChiaoGoo’s. They are now the only cords I use!
If you want to try an amazing wooden needle, try the Kinki Amibari. Super pliable soft non memory cords, simple twist join that doesn’t come apart and the bamboo is so soft and feels heavenly in your hands.
“My Ted Talk”😂. You are too cute!! I enjoyed your suggestions, point of view and demo on the various kinds of needles. Thanks so much, thanks for sharing!

When I’m ready to bind off, I use two dpns, parallel to each other. I slip the knit sts onto the front dpn, and the purl sts onto the back dpn, and simply dp the Kitchener stitch. When I get to three sts on each needle, I’ll slip more sts on the dpn!
I discovered Thread and Maple at Rhinebeck this year - I LOVE my notions binder! I love that this is unedited, so much better!
Another vote for ChiaoGoo - I almost always use metal but if I’m having trouble getting gauge I use the ChiaoGoo bamboo needles. They come with a clear (I think nylon?) swivel cord but have the same join as the metal tips so can be used with the red cords. Best of both worlds!

I love my Lykke needles! The sensory experience is so important for me, and I knit really tight so I find the ultra-pointy tips of the Chiagoo to be a bit painful sometimes. I love how many options there are available and how every knitter can find a good fit!
i am one of the continental knitters who STRONGLY prefers the tiny shorties for sleeves and socks!!! i really just don't like all the rearranging necessary with ML- but you still gotta do the toes on ML so there is no escaping it.
I am surprised Lantern Moon needles aren’t more popular. They have everything you were talking about - wooden needles, the nylon coated stainless steel cord that doesn’t curl, a swivel end to the cord, plus a beautiful aesthetic! I’m new to interchangeable but have been pleased with them. My only complaint is that they don’t go down to size 0. That might be too thin for wooden needles.
Andrea, I gasped when you said you are in Portland, Maine. I have been watching you for a while and didn't realize that. I grew up in Gorham. My husband and I moved from Yarmouth to western North Carolina some time ago. I miss the culture but not the cold weather.... Love your videos.
Suzanne
I can’t resist suggesting you try ChiaoGoo bamboo interchangeable needles. The bamboo is strong and smooth. Interchangeable with all the cords. The needles can be bought in individual sizes, which if fantastic if you just want to try them without the expense of buying a set.
Great review!
I’m sorry but this is about episode 89. You put a stick cream on your hands and I was wondering what kind it is? This yarn dries my hands out really bad sometimes. I love to watch your videos and I have several of your patterns. Thanks for everything you do about the knitting community.
Could you please do a studio tour when you do a tidy up? I just adore your whole aesthetic

I agree about the cords. I have 3 sets of the Lykke needles I’m working on a sweater right now and it took over 3 inches to uncoil it
☝️🎁☝️Thank you for always watching and commenting. you have been selected in my draw🎊🎊 Winners should text on telegram to claim prize!! (Just Winners)
I love that you talked for 10 minutes about needle choices! I totally agree!
I recently bought a lykke interchangeable tunisian crochet hook set because it was beautiful and it wanted me to own it. But I'm spoiled with my chiagoo cords from my knitting needles. To put it nicely the lykke cords are not my preference. I heard some where that the knitter's pride swivel cords will fit the lykke needles and hooks. I ordered some today. While they may never warm my soul like a chiagoo cord hopefully the swivel cords help.
I only use Lykke needles. I love them and I steam the new cords and lay them out to straighten them. Then they work perfect and I only have to do that once with no more coiling. I also have different lengths of the swivel cords as well. The case that comes with the interchangeable set is perfect!
I wanted to thank you for the kitchener-on-one-needle tutorial - I just used that for a bind off this week, and the most valuable part was the explanation that you prep the stitch you want to bind off with the opposite. That's the only thing that's ever let me actually keep that in my head and know where I am in the bind off if I otherwise lose track!
I replaced my hiya hiya set with chiaogoo and I bought them as I needed them till I had the full set. Probably more than just buying a whole set but better for my budget.
I think you would like the mindful collection regular and spinning cords too and they will work with your Lykke needles…. Those and the chaigoo cords are my fav, for exactly why you said
Funny you were talking about seen bind off, that’s what I was doing while I was listening. It gives such a beautiful finish, especially to ribbing. It’s so worth learning how to do it. Have a lovely weekend and thank you for your videos x
I just got the thread and maple needle binder for my birthday! I wanted something that would easily hold allllll my needles. I also have the lykke and chiaogoo. It also has space in the back for the couple sets of DPNs I have. And a spot in the front for the 3 fixed needles i have. I love that you can take the different needle sets out separately.
I love my chiao goo needles too! I love that they speak for themselves, no need for gimmicks. Having said that, the Lantern Moons do look beautiful! 😄
ChiaoGoo fan here too; I love dpns but I have never been able to get rid of ladders, but magic look it is not a problem for me. I also love the wooden ChiaoGoo interchangeable tips but I use the red or blue cords with them.
I have only used circular needles for years to knit and then I discovered interchangeable needles. I have never looked back. After using several different brands a friend recommended Chiagoo. I was sold. I now have a complete set of 5in and 4in and the sock set. Well worth the money I spent on them. I have had good things about their new Forte set and they may go on my wish list at my LYS.
My forever go to shawl is the Plumpy! It’s my most worn shawl. I even use it to keep my head warm when sleeping in a sleeping bag when we’re camping.

Hey Andrea! I totally agree that the red cords are the best from Cjiagoo, but did you know their "wooden" bamboo needles work with the red cable cords? I love them. They have a nice pointy tip. I have Lykke interchangables as well as use them often but also get irritated with the cords. I don't need a spinner type, so when I discovered the red cables and the Chiagoo Spins were compatible, I tried them and loved them.

I feel like I'm learning so many little hacks through watching your videos, that I am immediately putting to use. Thank you for doing these chats!
Love that you talked about the needles because chiaogoo is amazing!! I’m so curious about your needle case?! I have the same three sets and have been trying to find a case that isn’t to huge but can still hold all the things. 😂
On the Chiaogoo Shorties (the blue set) the needles are 2" and 3". I was surprised you didn't mention the Chiaogoo bamboo needles. They do have a different cord which is also lovely. It does twist independently with the needle and is a clear plastic more traditional looking cord but in true Chiaogoo form it is pretty wonderful. But, if you don't like it you can use your red Chiaogoo cords with them. There is also a new shortie set with large needle sizes (US 9, 10, 10.5 and 11). Don't use them as much but they are nice for sleeves on a bulky weight sweater or hat. Love them. And the newest edition which should be available in a week or so is the ChiaoGoo Forté Special Edition Interchangeable Knitting Set. Tips are stainless steel and the body of the needle is African Blackwood. Cables are a swivel interchangeable cables. Needle sizes US 2 to US 15. Seems to be a bit pricey but you know it will be wonderful. I sound like I am doing a Chiaogoo commercial. Ha, Ha! Always look forward to your weekly podcast.

I’m SO glad you revisited your information about needles and especially where to find a case that can hold multiple ChiaGoo interchangeable sets as I’m thinking of buying a second full set. I wonder if anyone has had an issue carrying such a large number of needles through TSA?
☝️🎁☝️Thank you for always watching and commenting. you have been selected in my draw🎊🎊 Winners should text on telegram to claim prize!! (Just Winners)
Thanks Andrea.
I love the Chia Goo as well! I've just gotten the new Forte set as well. Signature Needle Arts circular are also very good: available with super pointy (stiletto) tips, extremely smooth joins, cords don't twist or kink, and tips are color-coded. Negatives are cost (as much as $42 for a needle and cable assembly), they are not truly interchangeable (5-inch tips will only work with cables meant for that tip), and I've had the cables snap off completely from the metal join.
Thanks for all these nice tips !
Brilliant kitchener video - thank you!😍

I love ChiaoGoo too 🙂 I have all the shorties they made, grabbed some longer cables and I almost don't need others. I love wooden needles as well, so I got some bamboo's from ChiaoGoo too. And 3,5mm is my most used size too 🙂
☝️🎁☝️Thank you for always watching and commenting. you have been selected in my draw🎊🎊 Winners should text on telegram to claim prize!! (Just Winners)
Chiagoo needles are hands down my favorite needles. I have multiples of every size.
For wood needles I’m totally in love with lantern moon. They have the coated metal cord like the chiagoo and really nice joins. Also available with spinning connectors or fixed.
I completely echo everything said about the needle and case. I love the Chia Goo needles and that case. It's wonderful. I do love signature needles but their joins kill me, haha. Thanks for the chat. Knitted as you shared. Feel better! The kiddos are bringing it all home this year. Happy Thanksgiving! - Kimberly
A shift cardi!!!! If I had to mash up of (2)
Please design a shift cardi!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have! It's coming out soon :)
Always love listening to your chats! Only regret about getting the chiaogoos is that I didn’t purchase the full small and large set at once. Love them too and never get tired of talking or listening about knitting needles lol

I love love love that dress. So beautiful on you and totally forget about editing..its perfect just as it is. Great advice on interchangable, and I LOVE shorties.
I am fairly new knitter and I love hearing about tools!
ChiaGoo are my favorite needles also. I do use my Lyyke also but not as much. I love the twist shortie sets for sleeves and cuffs.
Chiaogoo are my favorite if I want metal, they’re the perfect needle. But if I want wood I always go back to my lantern moon & a big reason for that is because their cords are the same as chiaogoos with that nylon coating that causes it to not kink at all! The cords fit with the lykke needles so I’d definitely try those!
omg! i was just in portland this summer. plans to go back thanks so much for the tip ;). thanks for your needle review.
I loved the part about the knitting needles. I'm a big Chiaogoo fan as well, have the mini set from 1.5mm to 2.5mm and the big set with small/large cables and tips. So many knitting podcasters are raving about 9" circs and short tips but I never could make this work for me. So maybe that really is because I'm a picker instead of a thrower? Or maybe because I have somewhat large hands and long fingers and am a tight knitter? Anyway, food for thought. Excellent episode a always! Greetings from Vienna/Austria ❤

We would love an Andrea Mowry most loved knits book!!
I use the knitters pride mindful spin cords with my Lykke tips and that works well.
Also I just bought a Swiv 360 chiagoo cable for my chiagoo tips and the yarn catches on the join. I’m so disappointed, tried them last night for the first time and had to switch cables. I used fingering yarn, maybe will be better with thicker yarn
I use the broccoli rubber bands too for tightening needles and they’re awesome for opening jars
I'm knitting my Briochealicious with Chaiogoo needles while watching this! I look forward to the new episode every Friday and love watching :)

I also use my size 4's way more frequently than any other size. I'm glad it's not just me! I'm also a Chiaogoo knitter all the way. They're my favorite and if I don't have the right size, I just go buy more Chiaogoo.
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 too. I had a chiao goo needle break. Very small needle used for socks and don’t use it very often but was sad. I hate cords that curl, drives me nuts. Once again loved the video.

I'm a Chiaogoo girl too! They just came out with swivel cables, still metal coated with nylon, and a large set of shorties in a yellow pouch. Looking at wooden needles too and decided on the Lantern Moon as they have a cord similar to Chiaogoo's, but they're not compatible unfortunately.
Thank you such for talking about needles there are so many brands and its sometimes hard to decide which are good to use i am currently using knitters pride because I can use different cords with different needle types and I do have ciagoo needles also very informative this week, HAPPY THANKSGIVING 😊

I 1000% agree with you about the chiaogoo needles and twisty cords...but chiaogoo does wood needles 🥳🤯
Literally bought the 3.5" pink Lykke set to supplement my 5" CG set two days ago because I saw you using them. LOL. Now I have regrets! Here's hoping the new cables are better! Honestly mostly bought them for 16" work anyway so maybe not an issue. So pretty though!

3:34 LOL 😂 ANDREA!!!!! I died. 💀
I've been a Chiaogoo Red Lace fan for a while, and recently got a few of the new Swiv360 cords to try out. My experience is that the join between the plastic-coated steel cord and the round metal screw in sections is not as seamless as the join on the Red Lace cords. My yarn is constantly catching on the join as the stitches slide down the cord-this is the same issue I had with the Chiaogoo Spin cords (the transparent plastic cords). I hope they don't discontinue the Red Lace cords because the Swiv360 are NOT a good replacement.
I looked up the Lykke chords that you were talking about and on the website I found them they're called "Lykke Clear Swivel Cords".
For wood needles with rotating cords that don't kink: Takumi Clover! Made of bamboo. They are amazing! Plus you can often find them cheaper than Lykke.🤩

The ChiaoGoo new SWIV 360 cords are even better than the red cords which I loved!
Love my chiagoo needles too! If I’m using another one that has a spirally cord, I just put some hot water in the kitchen sink and throw it in there and it will relax right away 🎉

Thank you for a great answer to my steeking question! Yes, the colors do not match nice at the ends at all. Go figure, haha.
I do have a sewing machine and will likely use it for the zig zag reinforcement. Do you use a specific length and width to use?
Thanks again!

Have you ever considered writing a book? Hmmm-I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s definitely be in line for an Andrea book about knitting 😊❤this will be my second time trying the sock challenge -happy thanksgiving!
Hi. I love Chiaogoo also. I have accumulated a lot of their accessories what is the needle case you have today for them. I want one that can hold it all. Thanks
I love my Chaigoo needles too.
Did you just say SHIFTIGAN?????!!!! 🥳😍💥🤯
I love my Chiaogoo set! I did try the swiv360 cables but found the join not as smooth as the red cables. I would love to try the new Forte set but $$$!
That’s my problem too, I know those would be my perfect needle because I love wood needles but wish they had a sharp tip, but I just can’t do the price tag. I hope one day that we’ll get lucky & they’ll release the needle separately!
First time watching your "Ted Talk." I was searching for more details on making a Swingalong Hat with Spincycle yarn--first time using this yarn and pattern. I love the sweater you are wearing--name of that pattern? Thank you! I will be back!

Did you know that you can dip your spiraling circular cords in not boiling water briefly, you will see them relax. clothespin them vertically to dry/cool.
My preference is the wooden needles and I also really like the Lykke needles as well. I don't like metal needles at all!

Hi Andrea! I am all for watching ads to support people creating content, but I think I have maybe had 6 ads 20 minutes into this video. Is there any way to have less ads?
Same!
Hmmm, I always remove more than half the ads that YT places in videos. I will double check to see if it didn't save properly.
I have found UA-cam premium to be well worth the money. I listen all day at work so eliminating the ads has been great.
I watch on my desktop computer using Firefox as my browser with their AdBlocker Plus add-on and I never see ads in UA-cam videos...
Love my 4” CG (complete) set. I find I’m ordering extra tips & cords, cuz… too many WIPs. Saved for a long time, but sooo worth it. Joined FDF Sock Squad, yay! Really want to make Bear Paw Sox, first attempt for Turkish CO, w DPs, 9” circ for sock-my fave! Don’t mind 9” or DPs, never tried Magic Loop…
Thanks for all your info!
Try Lantern Moon new cords for Lykke. The lantern moon comes in a set of two and they are very similar to chiao goo. And they come in swivel.

If I know I won't be able to finish the Italian/Tubular bind off in one setting I'll only put 10-20 stitches on the 2nd needle at a time.
At the shop I go to, we also don't like the lykke cords - the knitter's pride mindfulness cords work with them! They're much better
