I found your wonderful videos by searching CSM. Sorry for the loss of your Dad…it isn’t easy at any age 💗. I see that you live in Maryland. I’m in Maryland too, just north of the DC border. I’m brand new to using a CSM. I just purchased a Tru-knit and am watching videos and tutorials to learn all I can. Do you teach classes outside of the great videos you post? Do you participate in any crank-ins? I’m interested in meeting up with other CSM knitters. Thanks…😄🧶💗

Are there different versions of the tuck stitch ? I watched one done on a flatbed the used every second needle out of work, knit two rows . Then every forth like this for 2 rows and repeat . It looked very different .
@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter912719 күн бұрын
I believe you can do it different ways to make the fabric look different. So by taking needles out of work at different rates. I think it is still considered a tuck stitch

I havent used my 48 as much as my 64 (that's my most used). But I love that I can crank dk socks too. I only have a 64 stitch ribber dial. But they are both divisible by 2 and 4. So I can do a 1x1 of a 3x1 rib.

Thank you so much for sharing. What does rounded or semi rounded heel/toe means?
@aquilladahun-aleftyknitter9127Ай бұрын
You're welcome. It's the way to decrease the stitches. If you decrease only 1 needle each row, it's more of an angled/slanted toe. If you decrease 2 needles on each side 4 to 6 times (and increase the same way) it gives more of a rounded toe. But you need to accommodate extra foot rows for that since the toe will be a little more shallow. I hope that makes sense. I will add that to my list of demonstrations

Midway through 1st grade I got moved up to 2nd grade because I was ahead of the other kids who were still learning to read. Bear in mind, this was the 70's; a whole different world ago. You're already on the right track if you're working on the material she would've covered in the year she'll skip. (No one caught me up in math, and that followed me the rest of my life.) My only other concern would be, is she ready to be a year ahead of her friends from this past year? Again, this was the 70's so I got dumped into a whole new class with kids who decided I must think I'm better than they are if I skipped a grade. Considerable bullying ensued but again, the 70's; most teachers' responses to it were, "He's only hitting you because he likes you." Otherwise congratulations, because like you, she's a lady ahead of her time! <3

Always, always, always advocate for your child! I went through a very similar situation with my son at that same age. I asked the teacher to give him extra worksheets to do while the other children were finishing their work. Just like Haze, he wasn't trying to be a troublemaker, he was just bored. The next year he was placed in a gifted and talented class and it was just what he needed. Knowing that you have her back will stay with her forever. ❤

Your sweater is so pretty! I wonder if you could stripe the sleeves with your leftovers and another color, like the one you used for sleeve you have now? Just a thought! The solid one with the cuff the way you did it is pretty too, and maybe stripes would look wonky with the quilty look of the blocks. 🤔 When you were talking about books and you said about the one with all the feels, I'm like *absolutely not* 😂 There's got to be something wrong with me about that. 🙄 That's such a cool thing about Haze's school opportunity. I have no input to offer, but I am confident that you and John, being such fully caring and invested parents, will do everything you can to make sure it's a positive experience for her. And if the school is equally on board with their support, I can't imagine she won't succeed and thrive. Be kind to yourselves while you get through that inevitable initial transition and adjustment phase. You got this! 💕

Many moons ago…my oldest brother didn’t do his homework but passed all the tests. Back then he was placed in a private school instead of being held back. They didn’t realize that he wasn’t being challenged. My second to youngest brother (I have 5 brothers 😬) he dropped out of school for the same reason. When he needed to have a GED to get a job, he took the test without studying and passed with flying colors. Keep in mind this was in the 70s and 80s. I encourage you to follow your heart instead of what the system thinks is best for Hazel! I know, easier said than done! 😂
