    I started knitting 3 years ago, knitted like 10 pair of socks and yet I came here every time to watch how to make kitchner stitch

    Yeah , best explanation of the Kitchener stitch I ever saw . That stitch has kept me from knitting socks for the last ten years. I'm going tp pick up my needles and give it a try. Thank you of the demo! 😅😅😅

    For those having trouble switching from throwing to flicking don’t be discouraged at first. It took me several weeks of daily knitting before being able comfortably flick. Mainly my issue was figuring out how to tension the yarn. Try different methods and see what works for you. Now I flick second nature and actually find throwing cumbersome.

    This is so stunning! I especially like how you put the lightest star in the middle. It gives it a nice glowing/ radiating effect.

    I'm watching this a couple years late but all you needed to do was unpick the triangles around the center square, cut the square smaller and reattach. It would all fit together that way. I love your fabric choices. I bet the quilt turned out pretty.

    for your cotton bag - have you seen the trick to use a left needle 1 size smaller than the right needle? will need to swap to interchangeables but you keep gauge because of the right hand needle. there is a bit more slack when you go to knit the stitches off the left hand needle which may help the struggle to get under those stitches without a stretch in the yarn! just a thought 🥰

    Have a great break. You deserve it. See you when you return. Love the crochet blanket. ❤. The Furls hooks don’t work for me either. I just use the Clover grip ones. They work so well for my crochet style. I have tried so many myself. Tools are so important for sure.

    I’m a continental knitter and that is by far the fastest way for me. I use very little movements and even my purl is as fast as your flicking 😊 It is a question of keeping your index fingers close to the needle tips for minimal movement 😊

    I'm using Red Heart Classic Crochet Thread Size 10 for my epic mal project. I get it from my local walmart but it's available online from several places. It's the softest size 10 cotton thread from the big manufacturers in my opinion. The 1000 yard balls only come in two colors, white and ecru; but that's what dye is for.

    Kristin, I hope you have a great break! Looking forward to your return and all the projects you’ll have to show us. ❤️ I, too, am a glutton for half-square triangles. 🙋‍♀️ There’s a computer program called Triangulations that you might be interested in; Fat Quarter Shop sells it. You print sheets of paper that have sewing lines and cutting lines (it’s kind of like paper-piecing but SO much easier, you don’t have to guess what shape to cut). Cut two fabrics into 8.5”x11” pieces to match the paper, and put right sides together; put the paper on top and sew on the dashed sewing lines; after they’re sewn cut on the solid cutting lines; and then all you have to do is iron the half-square triangles, no truing up required! It’s great for when you need a lot of the same-colored half-square triangles, especially small ones. I don’t know if my explanation made sense, but it really is a great program, so I hope you’ll look into it. ❤️
