    This goes into the odd comments but your voice is calming to this stressed out girl. Plus you are clear and to the point and you don't go on and on about one step. As alot of videos tend to do is go on for 5 minutes on one step and so on and so on. Calm, clear, quick, and on point. Thank you.

One thing I noticed too late on the yarn, that it says: Recommended needle: 3,5 - 4 mm. So.. in this case should I use 4 or 5 mm as in the video? Thank you so much!!

    Lauren, I don’t know if this helps, but you’re basically just doing knit, purl, knit, purl etc. then on a new row, you knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches. So the opposite of when you do ribbing, which is knit on knit and purl on purl. I find it very easy to go wrong with moss stitch, especially when you get distracted by rugrats, but it is lovely when it’s done properly. I’m actually making dishcloths at the moment using this stitch which is good practice because it’s much smaller and it doesn’t matter if I go wrong. Good luck if you give it another try 😊

    When you pull of the loop from the other needle and slightly tug on the right needle, make sure the current loop on the right is tightened lower down and not near the tip of the needle. This ensures that your loops anre closer to the width of the majority of the needle and not the tip. Does that make sense?

    With the recommended odd number of stitches (109) my two sides ended up being completely different (the last stitch of each row ends up different). You could totally do it with a smaller number of stitches, just like you would make a swatch! Just make it an even number so your sides end up the same if you slip the first stitch of each row.

    Really hard video to follow - lacks a lot of guidance. I wouldn't bother!

    If you understand basic knitting techniques, this is super easy. If the viewer lacks confidence or knowledge of knitting than you will have a difficult time following. Kudos to the youtuber...

    If you want to cast off without the stress of dropped stitches, slip your left needle through the right stitch from the left side rather than the right and keep a firm tension on your yarn while lifting the needle (and the accompanying stitch) over the left stitch and gently slipping it off the needle. It will also give you a nice clean edge.

    It’s a *great* idea to knit a blanket and send it to Australia. We are 5 days into 2020 and half of the country is burning down. Half a billion animals have tragically died, and blankets are being accepted for the animals that barely managed to escape but got sent to veterinary centres.

    Hi! I love this pattern and am currently following it to make a baby blanket for my friend. I just have a quick question. What kind of join do you recommend using cotton yarn? I have had projects in the past where my joins from adding in a new skein completely unravel, and I don’t want that to happen this time. I’ve never used cotton yarn before so I would love any tips or advice! Thank you!!
