Good Scotch! LOL I think I'd probably need something strong too if I ever had to cut my knitting as well! :) Great video, Cat! Thanks so much!!

[letsknit2gether]

@MasasWife yup! It is definitely nervwracking!

[Rekkanotara]

You never cease to amaze me with your wonderful creations. I've never attempted steeking myself because none of the demos/tutorials show what happens after you cut the fabric. I was wondering if you ever remove the crochet yarn while securing the edges or leave them in while folding the edges and securing them?

[letsknit2gether]

@Rekkanotara I left them in when folding the edges to keep from fraying.

My goodness...! you are a excellent knitter. This sweater is absolutely beautiful!

I have NEVER seen this technique done before.

I'M a knitter myself. It has become a passion. And with 4 beautiful daughters,I'M able to pass down my knowledge.

[letsknit2gether]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed this episode. I'm sure with passion like yours, your daughters will want to start knitting too!

I love these videos. Especially the blooper reels. Very informative and very easy to follow along to. Keep up the good work!

Someone recently sent me a link to this video on FaceBook. I have circular knitting machines and this opens up a whole new world of designs using my machine! Thanks!
