I so appreciate your tutorials! I've only been knitting for about seven years now, but I've been learning more and more new ways and tips from you that make my knitting time more enjoyable! Thank you!

Thanks again Staci! You never fail to bring something new and helpful. This session made me feel more confident and taking the mystery out of knitting. I haven't tried knitting a sweater in pieces for this very reason.

I don’t know what I’d do without your videos! Thank you 💓

@Linda Mihay - a well-written sleep cap pattern shouldn't have a super abrupt change from the flat to the angled part of the sleeve cap. Seaming that point in to the inside of the seam, plus a little blocking, should take care of that. It's good to check Ravelry and read other knitters review of patterns before you embark. Hope that helps!

This video is perfect timing for me as I'm in the process of knitting up a chunky raglan sweater and was wondering about the best technique for knitting it all together! Thank you!

I think seaming is a really underestimated skill. I’m a pretty good knitter, but I’ve some way to go to get my seaming perfect. Thanks again for your help. My go to knitting teacher. X

This is SO helpful!! Such great tips! I HATE setting in sleeves!!. I DO love patterns that do short row sleeves! Those are so much fun!

Right now I'm working on my very first 4-piece pullover. Never done anything like this before and I was really panicking about the sleeves, but thanks to your video, now I have the confidence I can do it! Thank you so much! 💙

Thank you so much for breaking it down like this -- love how it just makes sense.

"Clippie marker" is such a cute term! Great tutorial, Staci, thank you!

thank you very much ...i'm from Algeria ..happy that i find your channel...

I'm actually nearing the end of my first pieced sweater so this video popped up just in time! Lovely explanation!

I wish I had this kind of tutorial when I did my first pair of set-ins! (tl;dr-- they looked like puffy 80's sleeves and I had to rip them out!)

Yes, interesting to see parallels to sewing fabric! I question the very last part, though: I would NOT stitch from cuff to hem. Instead, I would stitch cuff to underarm, and then hem to underarm, again fixing any woogy-ness at the bottom of the armscye, so that the best matching happens where it is most visible...

Same here!

Easing is something that is used in sewing a lot, so I'm glad I already know how to do that. Now I'm not so scared to do a pieced sweater! As someone who sews I do find it odd that you do the work on the right side though.

Love your videos. I find them very helpful.

These videos are so helpful but I have come across three things now that you don't have videos on. How to sew on a pocket that was knit separately, how to attach a collar that was knit up separately and how to attach raglan sleeves on a sweater that was knit in pieces bottom up. I am finishing up a vintage pattern for a child's coat and there are no instructions at all for seaming anything. I've been watching videos to figure out what to do to make this look really good. Thanks again for all these great videos and a great podcast.

It's very useful.... I love the way you explain it.. Thank you so much.... Do you have the full sweater tutorial for gents.... Plz send me the link

Hi.... thanks for this. Came here tonlearn how to set the sleeves now im.Inyerested in the poncho in the background😍😍

This is so helpful. Thank you very much!

Do you have a video for attaching sleeves to bottom up sweaters knitted in the round?

Can you recommend any tutorials on seaming a horizontal to vertical piece when the body and sleeve are both in k2 p2 rib and the sleeve is not inset but straight?

Hi Staci, thank you for your videos. I've been learning to knit from them over the last few weeks and recently finished a hat. I'd like to make a video request if possible. Although I am enjoying knitting, I do not find it very comfortable and would like to see the different ways of holding my needles and yarn so that I can find the way that suits me best. When you knit I notice you have the yarn over your right index finger which allows you to knit faster. I have also seen videos where people hold the yarn over a left finger or in their left hand. I would like to try these ways but I am unsure as to where to hold things. Any help or explanations would be much appreciated! Stacy

Thank you! I appreciate your skills!

I have only one question...What do you do with that POINT where you go from the FLAT cap, to the shaped sides of the sleeve. That always makes a mess, for me. Thanks so much for all your video helps.

Thats the sign of a well written pattern...I'm working crochet squares and only have a vintage granny book with minimal instructions. I added a challenge for myself by using different sized squares...and I'm stuck on how to even shape the sleeve (no half squares in my stitch pattern)

THANK YOU so much for this video! You just made the project I'm working on SO much easier!!

I love your videos!!!!

Oooh!! Where was this video when I knit my first sweater??? My sweater would've looked soo much better instead of how it actually looks lol. Thanks for the video tho! Now I'll know what to do for the next one! :)

Hope someone can help with this. I knit a sweater in the round - hoping to speed things up and make everything the same length (it takes a while for me to finish and the pieces ended up different lengths last time ) -sadly I didn't realize it would be such a challenge to attach flat knit sleeves! Can you help with this...please :) I didn't find any videos addresses this. thanks

Awesome video. 🙌🏾

Thank you SO much for that vidéo 😀

Love it. Do you have a tutorial on how to make a sleeve for a set in sleeve sweater like this?

julie henderson - the sweater I'm using as a sample is this pattern/tutorial: verypink.com/2012/07/18/ombre-dyed-sweater/

I wish I found this video before I did what my pattern said to do and that was to sew up the sleeve seams first!!! Oh how stupid is that. This is much easier. Thanks I will remember this next time

What is the mattress stitch that you mentioned to sell their sleeve into the jumper and how would you do that any video tutorials on sewing techniques for knitting ? Thanks

Meghin Erika Yes - I have several sweater tutorials that walk you through entire sweater patterns, but the one that features setting in sleeves is this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGp_07eop9rUirA.html

could I use this method using a cotton fabric.

Yes, the technique works regardless of the yarn fiber.

You are right

Hi Staci -- what stitch did you use for the shoulder seam (front and back together). It looks neat and pretty trim. Not lumpy or bulky. That would be handy to know as it seems to be a big part of setting in the arm. You know, where the three bits all come together?

Julie Sheetz - I always say that a woman's sweater in worsted weight yarn takes a dedicated knitter about 40 hours to complete. More time if the sweater is in a finer yarn and/or a larger size, less time for thicker yarn and/or a smaller size. Of course, the speed of the knitter makes a difference, as well.

Very helpful. I have knitted both set in and Reglan. The Reglan isn't so attractive on larger women it adds weight.

Thanks soo much

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good luck 🤞 😂😂😂😂😂
