| Doris H Thank you very much Sue! |
| Felicia A How to convert from bulky to standard machine |
| Morag W Thank you very much Matt & Sue |
| Marie-Jo C It'a good idea, Maurie, thanks for sharing... |
| Karin R When knitting a long piece like a dress, sometimes the fabric gets stretched by the weight of it and so turns out surprisingly long... |
| Silvana J thanks |
| Silvia O After knitting a swatch I let it rest a few hours. Then I wash and dry it. Then it is ready for measuring. |
| Silvana J What happened was that my headband was not long enough based on the dynamic pattern number of rows |
| Silvana J I swatched in plain stockinette |
| Silvana J I used my ribber to knit a "tube" that I could then turn into a headband or earwarmer, should I knit a swatch as a tube then? |
| An V Okay, I appreciate your explanations. |
| Marie-Jo C I won't any longer measure my body! A very interesting advice,Sue! Thank you... |
| Karin R Ribbing sometimes needs stretching to measure correctly because it relaxes (broadens) later, I think - depending on the yarn |
| Maurie H I knit my piece and let it sit over night then hang it and measure. |
| Matthew F https://www.knititnow.com/knit/DynamicPattern/850/elsa-practice-cardigan |
| Silvana J That helps, thanks. |
| An V I would like to knit a classic Christmas sweater with different jaquard, do you have to make different samples? |
| Cherie S Thank you! |
| Matthew F search for Elsa |
| Matthew F We have a doll sweater that we suggset to use for practice and yoga pants. |
| Tina B For me it depends, a ribbing i use to stretch a little, just like i want to have it in the garment. otherwise i have too much stitches in my garment |
| Cherie S Will you be making a pattern for dolls or stuffed animals? |
| Silvana J Talking about gauge, I have a problem with getting the right gauge. My question is, to measure are you supposed to stretch the swatch or pin it without stretching it |
| Marjorie M Since Covid I don't fit ANYTHING. It's been T-shits, jeans, and sweatshirts. I can't see measuring them for a renewed wardrobe. |
| Marie-Jo C too much |
| Marie-Jo C My problem is that I add to much ease ! |
| An V Hello, how to calculate the measurements for a Yoke sweater, thank you in advance |
| Tina B measuring the loved garment is the best tip ever about fit. <made my life so much easier. |
| Maurie H Google has been a pain lately. |
| Marjorie M It is probably Google, not Matt. |
| Jenny M B It's ok Matt, we'll forgive you! |
| Marjorie M No dot reflects me. I probably have avoided "location" setting where ever possible. |
| Matthew F Yeah looks like i might need to update the code sorry everyone... next month |
| Jenny M B Me too |
| Maurie H got the same message as Marjorie M |
