    I couldn't see Jen pick up the diagonal stitches, the work was too near the edge of the frame?

    Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I wonder if you can help me with 2 questions .... I just finished knitting a summer sleeveless sweater. I have sewn up one shoulder (as per the instructions on the pattern). I now have to pick up the stitches to knit just one row for a neckline. However, I did the top of the sweater in Seed Stitch, so I don't have the knit vees to work with. Should I just work along the bind-off row, going into each of those stitches? Also, your sweater is already sewn up on both shoulders. As mine is only one shoulder done, it will be lying open . My question is should I be working on the right side or turn it over to work on the wrong side? Or does that even matter? Thank you for any help you can give me. 😃

    Hi! I think you'd be good with working into the bind-off row (or maybe one row in from the bind-off) ... you can always take it apart if it looks weird and try again. (That's what I do!) I usually work seams with the right side facing me, but you can see what it looks like working from the inside too. Sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error - good luck!

    I knitted same raglan sweater and the neck edge is just the bind off row. It curls outwards. Any suggestion how to fix it? If I will knit a band of ribbing the opening will be too small. Any edge ideas for the neck??

    Hi! You can try to wet block it (wet the fabric and then let it dry flat) but it may still curl if it doesn’t have edging … otherwise maybe you could rip back a few rows and then add a bit of ribbing?

    Hi Jen for the rib collar do I need to decrease it as I knit up? I’m only doing 6-7 rows.
