I just got a great stocking hat pattern from knittingpatternoftheday (.) com and Grandma Nutt is adorable!

[33scorpiongirlDC]

so helpful. thank you. I was getting so frustrated with trying this.

[DominoRuze]

Thank you, this helped a lot :)

how do your stiches come out so neat and close, my stitches are always kind of rounded and i can never get proper ribbing

[MyassWins]

I must be doing something wrong. I get this nice little mesh look, which does look lovely, but I never get a rib.

I'm doing the k2p2 style, with 22 uh .. loops? So it always starts on a knit. Help?

[CutelollyVids]

im working on a white scarf at the moment and im doing it in 5 parts. Origianally, it was going to be: purl, garter, rib, garter, purl. But i might change it so i can use basket weave somewhere on it, as ppl keep on saying how pretty the result looks.

when i turn it around to do the next row, it goes all knotted! help, someone please =/

Make sure your yarn is on the right side of your needle. It should be at the front for purl stitch and the back for knit stitch. Also, remember that the purl on one side comes up as a knit stitch on the other side. I can't realy explain it but try it and you'll see!

Hope this helps :)

[dodders5]

aw, thanks! i worked it out though :D

happy knitting x

[LittleMissVintage1]

thanks! I'm trying to learn how to use dpns right now.... and I'm getting no where....

[dodders5]

aw! what are you trying to do with them? icord? cabling? im a bit crap at both of those =s x

[LittleMissVintage1]

I'm trying to make flowers.... there's a pattern on ravelry.comfor them and  really want to make them. I'mstill trying but I keep dropping the needles and the stitches always fall off =(

[dodders5]

ravelry! *hi five*

and flowers sound really fiddly and annoying :S im afraid i cant help you there. HOWEVER, if you ever need to knit cupcakes, that is my forte :D

[LittleMissVintage1]

Knitted cupcakes? They sound so cool!! Do you have a pattern? I'd love to try them.

My ravelry username is littlemissvintage, what's yours? I can look at those cupcakes!

[Winterpeg73]

um that is kind of hard and kind of esay

[ejnorman1]

Do you start each row with the stitch you started with or do switch to the other one?

[lokiuh1]

She is explaining it wrong. You knit on a purl and purl on a knit. If your last row ended with a knit, your next row would start with a purl. Same principal for basket weave which she also explained wrong.

[SIteacher]

no, she is correct. I did exactly what she said and my basket weave came out beautifully.

Hi, Michelle.  Greetings from a 49 year old guy in Scotland. Thank you so much !! I finally cracked the purl stitch from watching your video. I'd watched several other vids on youtube many times each, but just wasnt' getting it. Am now purling away quite happily. Will my next scarf really be rib stitch? Or, maybe box stitch !

[Pixiegirl121]
