Knitting VLOG 15: Knitting a Japanese cashmere lace dress + NO MORE PURLS! - Knit backwards tutorial

I love my Keitodama magazines, and this dress is one of the patterns in the book. Apart from the usual ripping back, I think it has been a success! It's going to be a great addition to my knitted wardrobe.
I also show you how to knit backwards so you don't have to purl again!

    I am learning so much from the challenges you face, and how you resolve them. Your knitted garments are all really beautiful. The dress in this vlog is stunning. It has a hint of the 1920s about it: my favourite fashion era. Thank you for sharing your journey. 🥰

    Oh Clare your dress is beautiful and looks so lovely on you! I bet the sparkles are extra nice in person. Years ago I used to hate purling so I taught myself to knit backwards too! lol I don’t do it much anymore but I’m glad I have that skill. lol Blessings

    Your ball dress was gorgeous 💕 sperm lights, made me laugh. Oohhh a cashmere dress, how luxurious. I’ve just done a second woolyyarns order 🫣🤐 I don’t need yarn 😂 look at the Pantone colour they used to describe the yarn as it might give you a better idea, computers change colours but I think that might be helpful. The dress is so good, love these vlogs thanks for sharing, Karen

    Thank you Karen. The pink fluffy thing is a little vest I bought online a few years ago. It looks good with everything. Mum's suggested I try knitting a swatch with the grey and see if it turns out ok. I will probably try holding it with another colour to brighten it up a bit.

    Are you sure that you can’t follow the tracking from Wooly Yarn. I just ordered some yarn from them and the tracking seems fine. My order is just leaving Latvia and once it gets to Canada I should be able to continue tracking through Canada Post. (I am using the tracking number that they sent me in their confirmation email.)
