    Hi Maryna. What a difference. This is amazing! Thanks for sharing. Sadly my husband passed away 2 weeks ago and I’ve spent these last months taking care of him. We expected a better outcome. This was unexpected. So I haven’t been keeping up. This amazing tutorial really lifted my spirits. Thank you Mayrna. Have a wonderful weekend. ❤

I’m just so far behind from taking care of my husband and frankly, the desire to knit and crochet is not really there right now. But today I made the time to watch and as usual it was so worth it. Thanks again! Have a lovely weekend.❤️❤️

    Thank you! Can you please post a video on how to smooth out the transition between shoulder and neckline when the pattern says to shape shoulders separately but not to work the stitches in the middle where the neckline is going to be?

  • @10rowsaday

    @10rowsaday

    3 ай бұрын

    Hi Sylvia. You can make the transition smoother by using the method explained in this tutorial - leave one stitch unworked at the end of the previous row, turn the work, then slip the first stitch on the left needle and pass the unworked stitch over the just-slipped one. But I find it helpful to have some "border" between the shoulder edges and the stitches of the neckline. It clearly shows where we need to stop when we seam the shoulders. Happy knitting, my friend!

    I did this and I do like the straight edge I get but I end up with a larger stitch and a gap where I pass the unworked stitch over.

    Try to pull the yarn a bit right after you pass the unworked stitch over. This will keep this stitch from getting bigger. Happy knitting!
