Thanks you Kerin and KP for making this excellent video. I'm about to cast on my first fair isle cardigan and this is just the kind of info/tutorial I needed. I am wondering about the way she knit the two sleeves together? I have never seen or heard of doing that! Amazing!
I am wondering what to do at the bottom of the neck opening where the cut for the steek meets the body of the sweater (at the section where the zipper bottom will be). I can't tell from the video where those extra stitches had been -- the finished edge (vertically rolled) where the steek had been seems to MEET at the bottom, but I don't see how that's possible. Can you tell me what is happening at that part? This was a great video, by the way!
Great video, very informative. At the end when she speaks about running it through a sewing machine, I would suggest not using a regular sewing machine. Instead I would use an overlock machine (also called a serger, or Merrower depending on what part of the world you're in). The stitch has elastic qualities and binds off the edge ensuring nothing comes unraveled. If you do decide to use a regular sewing machine, I would suggest using a zig-zag stitch as it also has elastic qualities.
@elsiephysio The sweater in the video is just one of Kerin's sweaters that she sort of makes up on the fly as she goes. I'll be sure to pass along the compliments to Kerin!
thank you,. very very interesting. but I think I am to nervous for this. I liked watching it and thinkl you are a knitartist on a high level.very fine colours. thanks again. betje
this is just wonderful! can you make some more? like sewing them together and all that? I am fascinated with steeks and this is the most comprehensive video so far. Will watch this some more times!!! thanks!
