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. Hi thanks you for your cheerfull video's : i have a question about yarn. It has happened that I knit a sweater and it start pilling very soon. How can you know which yarn is ok if you go out and shop : i find it very frustrating that the sweater looks so dreadfull, so quickly after all the work i have put in it... Is it the type of yarn i have to take in to account, the ply ? ... Thanks!
2. I’m wondering about how to keep your stitch count accurate. I attempted to knit the Ara shawl but my stitches were never correct. Which then threw off my pattern in the shawl. I am constantly counting the stitches and get so disappointed when I have more or less stitches.
3. Hi Andrea, Love your podcast and upbeat energy! You’ve mentioned that you like go walking and knit while you walk . I LOVE to go walking and LOVE to knit! The idea of doing them both at the same time seems almost too good to be true! Can you share how you learned to knit without looking and knit while moving/walking? Any tips you have are greatly appreciated! (Although my family might never see me again if I learn to knit while walking, lol). Thanks so much!
4. When knitting shawls, what is the best method of getting a stretchy edge? I've knitted a few shawls using an icord edge along each side but they don't seam to give me enough stretch when blocking/wearing the shawl. I've tried kfb into the last and first stitch and this gives a stretchy edge but doesn't look that pleasing and doesn't always work with all patterns. Any advice would be great ☺️
5. I am knitting my very first sweater......I got to the sleeves and had to try 3 different needles. I ended up with a 16" which isn't the easiest but I'm moving along. (I like ChiaoGoo) I do not have a full set of interchangable needles, I basically buy individual ones as I need them....most of my projects require the same size/type of needles...but for the sleeves I had trouble pulling the wire out as I go - it created a gap no matter how tight I tried to be. And then I tried double pointed needles but that was a mess.....I'm knitting a larger stitch, using a size 8 needles so the double pointed were large and very hard for me. do you have a suggestion on how best to knit a sleeve easier? thank you
