Thank you! 😊

This is the BEST tutorial for the underarms I have seen on YT. I’ve tried others where two stitches are picked up on each side then twisted and knitted together and it still left me with holes. This is so simple, easily explained and straight forward, and I didn’t even have to weave in the back it worked 100% for me so thank you very much!

Natasha Childers do you have an easy tutorial for changing yarn in the middle of a row and weaving in the ends? I ask because the garment you’ve knitted has fairisle and although I’ve never attempted fairisle I’m interested in learning how to change the yarn while weaving in the ends. My problem is changing the yarn in the round.

@mostlyknitting

3 жыл бұрын

@@cloudydaez I haven't done a tutorial on this but I am happy to do one. It is probably simpler than you might be expecting. I usually just change the yarn on the side of the garment and weave in the ends on the wrong side in a way that they are unlikely to show or to pop out. I will definitely do a video for clarity. Thank you for the suggestion. :)

Natasha Childers thank you. I normally tie the strands and weave in after the project is finished but recently I followed a tutorial weaving the strands in the round going in opposite directions but every time I come back to the next round to weave in that last strand 6 -7 stitches before where the yarns have been joined I’m left with an ugly stitch on the front of the work and I can’t for the life of me see what I’m doing wrong. I would be so grateful 😊

Thank you, that was very clear and does a much better job than any other tutorials I have followed. I was interested that you expect to have to weave in and tighten the gaps. Whenever I’ve done that I’d thought I’d failed in my initial job of eliminating them as I picked up. It was so nice to see that this is a conscious decision with the benefit of strengthening the gusset.

So refreshing to hear a fellow Australian accent on a knitting video!

I love the neat result of the seam, so I'm going to follow your suggestions.
