I'm so happy you are enjoying my videos. Thank you for leaving a comment!

totally agree with you. That said, I VERY MUCH appreciate the pattern with diagram, cuz I almost always change or alternate the pattern and want to get the basic idea of its shape, and size of everything (not only bust size and arm length). I don't know why, but many recent patterns mainly from Scandinavia don't include diagrams and it really annoys me, since I pay for them...

What a great point! Yes I feel like a schematic in a sweater pattern is an absolute must, they shouldn't come without.

Thank you, you make some excellent points.

I just found you and I loving all your content! I live in Vancouver and I am very interested in all the new to me yarns available in your area. I have been looking into how to add inseam pockets to my cardigans but can’t find anything. Thanks for all the info given on alteration ❤

I would put that into the harder alterations to make. You would probably have to knit sections back and forth to create the opening and the rejoin after. In reneral front pockets will be easier to add, whether applied after or making them as a slit in the front with the pockets on the inside. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Hi I've just found you and have prescribed to your channel just love it the sweater you are wearing in this video where I can I find the pattern thanks ❤

About changing the gauge: don't you think it's still ok if you can find a size in the pattern that will result in the right circumference with your gauge?

@cloknits

If the stitch gauge is off then most likely the row gauge is also off, so changing the size might result is a yoke that's too deep of too shallow. If you are working a simple pattern and you can easily change the depth of the yoke, then no problem.

Thank you Claudia❤ I’m wondering what you think about target ease depending on the weight of wool. Do you find you like more or less ease if knitting worsted weight rather than fingering?

@cloknits

Great questions. I do think that if the yarn is bulky I wouldn't want as much ease as a fingering weight sweater or I would feel like a puffed marshmallow. But most of all I feel like the construction of the sweater makes me choose the amount of ease. Cropped can take more ease than hip lenght. Dropped shoulders need some ease more than a raglan or yoke.

@@cloknits great thoughts! You have me thinking. I definitely agree on the marshmallow consequence - been there. I hadn’t thought about the yoke and raglan as needing less. That’s a meaningful note for me - I have had too much fabric across my upper bust and shoulders. I’m considering changing the way I select patterns to knit to fit the upper bust rather than full. Thanks. Looking forward to future podcasts

If You knit a 1 ply yarn in around in sted of back and forward. The sweater will be like a spiral.

Yes, if the yarn has too much twist. Some have low enough twist that it doesn't skew the knitting.

I always shorten arm length, im a shorty😂

Sometimes, choosing another pattern or another yarn is just going to save you a lot of frustrations.
