    I’m a beginner knitter, and this was the first time tinking was crystal clear. I saw exactly where to insert the left needle and how the yarn in front or back told me what stitch was next. You are THE BEST, with clear instructions and visuals (cute yarn color was a plus I might add!) Thank you, thank you!❤

    Does this have any stretch to it as that is what I need?

  • @ElizabethSmithKnits
    @ElizabethSmithKnits11 күн бұрын

    I find it looser than binding-off knitwise so it may give you the stretch you need. You can also look into “Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off” - I don’t have a video on that but others do and it is very stretchy. Hope that helps!

    Thank you. I always was confused since different people showed me different methods so I was always thinking I was doing it wrong. Now, I understand that there are several methods and depending on the yarn, I may choose a different one.

    This was perfect timing for me and very helpful. I had a sweater to finish and needed to pick up stitches for the collar. I ended up using method #1 as seemed to be the best for my garment. Thank you!

    @ElizabethSmithKnits20 күн бұрын

    You'll weave in your tails at the end. My preferred method of weaving in ends is using the duplicate stitch technique. Here's a tutorial on my website about it! elizabethsmithknits.com/2020/12/09/duplicate-stitch-for-weaving-in-ends/

    This is the BEST tutorial video on ANY topic that I have EVER seen. Your calm, clear voice, with VERY clear directions are AMAZING. Not only did I learn that it IS Possible to lengthen an already fully knit piece, but ALSO learned about TINKING. I am subscribing to your channel. I CANNOT WAIT to see how much I can learn from you about knitting, but also, I can't wait to try and lengthen the sweater vest that I made my sister for Christmas (that was just a little short). I have had it here since Christmas, wondering if I had to reknit the WHOLE THING...but apparently NOT! Her Birthday is in a few days.... I am going to see if I can try this method, and surprise her by giving it back to her....LENGTHENED. 😊❤😊

    Wait so is the second row knitted or purled??

  • @ElizabethSmithKnits

    That will just depend on the stitch pattern. If it’s garter you knit every row but if Stockinette stitch you would purl every other row. Hope that helps!

    When you work stockinette stitch in the round you knit every round. Hope that helps!

    Is this similar to the ssk, it is looking like it, except the second stitch is not entered the same direction as with ssk. But the end result looks like it is the same as the other way. Swatching time!! I typically do a little bit of setting up for any twists in the row or round below the actual one with the decreases by wrapping those stitches in the opposite way from typical for western mounted stitches to make them look backwards on purpose for how I was taught (western style and throwing, though I am more comfortable with continental stitches now, and combination for lace or decreases in general).

    You don’t mention water temperature. Should it be cold, or luke warm or what, or does it depend on the yarn?
