Hi, can you please tell me when your coming out with new colors for your lace yarns? I'm really hoping that they'll be pretty colors, I've used many of your lace yarns, but was disappointed that last spring most of the colors that were put out seemed to be mostly fall colors, please let me know, I'm always checking out the website, fleecy huggys from NYC! :)
I have a sort of problem...I'm scared that if I keep decreasing that it will make the project smaller, After all I've been decreasing to make a project, I guess thinner, and I'm scared if I keep on doing the YO and k2togs it will do that to my project. I've had that problem once and didn't notice until too late....
@seikjo When you pair a decrease with a yarn over, your stitch count should stay the same since doing a yarn over adds a stitch and a decrease takes one away. Also, if throughout a whole row you k2tog a total of four times and do a total of 2 yarn overs, you actually only get rid of 2 stitches even though you did 4 k2tog (since you also added 2 with 2 yarn overs). Hope that helps clear things up!
Hello Kerin, I am wondering if you are Kerin, of Treasured Keckerchief.
I just love this pattern and have started it many times, getting nowhere. I am new to lace knitting, but not new to knitting. To me, the pattern is confusing, but as I said, I am new to laceknitting. I really do like the looks of this kneckerchief and want very much to make it. When I PM, then the next row or so, it says to k2tog., the marker is in the way and it all goes wrong for me. Please help. thank you.
@dexwin1 Hi, and yes - that is Kerin who designed the scarf you mentioned. Is there a particular row that is giving you trouble or on the very first row that you k2tog after markers are placed, which would be row 3? Are you making all of the yarn overs to add stitches that allow the lace to grow bigger as the chart shows? We might need to know a bit more info to see where things are going wrong, let us know and we will do our best to get things straightened out for you!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't say it enough. I loved the whole class and just finished my first lace shawl out of sock weight yarn and I am so in love with the process that now it's all I want to knit! :)
so, would sock yarn be a good place to start? i have been knitting for over 20 years and am only now attempting lace...i have done some very satisfactory 'lace' items in heavy yarns and have heaps of sock yarn i got for $3.oo per 100gm! i am also a natural lace weight spinner......oohh, where to start....
Thanks so much for you videos on knitting lace. I have been busy knitting socks from the toe up but would like to try lace work. I love the Chinook Shawl. I have just been watching your Lesson 1 it is wonderful. Thankyou, so much for your help. Jan
Nice video =) I'm pretty familiar with knitting lace, but I was wondering if (for beginners) you could substitute fingering/sock weight yarn for lace weight and move on to the lacier yarns?
great thank you so much for this information and the sharing of same i learnt so much and as we knit in our cafe i love passing on knitting ideas to our customers and this video will be welcomed by all
