Les B i'm watching now and last time Ilooked I'm a male. |
Sandra B How did you add your picture on chat room, be cool see everyone |
Annie L Going forward or going back, if in the middle of dropping off. |
Jean S safest for the machine...doesn't it depend on the gauge of your machine? |
Catherine Z Take a break and then come back to it. |
Jean S Learned a lot about dropped stitches this past week...getting pretty good at....after Istarted putting linelines in.... |
Annie L What's safest for the machine? |
Sue Jalowiec lifelines!!!! |
lifelines Shirley. |
Cynthia P thank you i notice the baby blanket and i just got some bulky yarn yesterday so i will check it out. |
Annie L What |
Pauline P Pauline - where are all the men here? Is machine knitting popular for men? |
Patricia H Joan W, usually how complicated the design fabric is |
Joan W How do you decide when you have made a mistake or dropped a number of stitches whether you pull back or start that piece again? |
Cynthia P i got here late so i will watch you later. |
Could you please try to post a link to your knitting machine table again? The one from last week's show notes doesn't appear to be working properly. Thank you! |
Pauline P Pauline - gorgeous designs and yarn. |
Cindy M I like the drape of the lighter weight yarn so no Michelin Man! lol |
Jean S I think I'm in love....love the designs and the possibilities! |
Terry Z nice! |
Patricia H very nice |
Catherine Z As a weaver I keep samples and notes to remind me what worked and what didn't. Applies to knitting too. |
Sue Jalowiec dandoh.com |
Marie-Jo C I knitted a pullover with the knitleader... It was so long that I could sat on it !! |
Cindy M Thanks so the encouragement is that because I have a disaster it is not necessarily because I am new; I can definitely see how analyzing what is going on will help me notice a potential disaster sooner and divert it! |
Marilyn G A different color zipper would work, but the Navy is not bad looking. You are too hard on yourself |
No sew zippers worth checking out http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2012/10/zipper-in-knitwear-no-sewing-way.html |
Necks not big enough to go over toddlers heads. Shirley |
Pauline P Pauline - what yarn did you use please? It's nice. |
Karin O Hi Sue I'm terribly late too and did not yet see the disaster |
Margaret G knit my first sock on the machine. Looked like fish net. Took it apart and will try again with heavier yarn. |
Patricia H got a sweater worked so hard on with intarsia, the neck chocked me! |
Kelly C Everything I do! |
Marilyn G I don't think your sweater is ugly |
sorry I'm late. shirley in the UK |
Nancy M zippers can make sleeves detatchable... |
Patricia H zipper tape should be inside maybe? |
Jean S Me too, Terry Z. Much prefer the look. |
Sandra B I agree Terry |
Terry Z I am oldfashioned: Zipperc sides should be on the back.... |
Mary Ann B It's great! Have all the colors! |
Marie-Jo C Zippers intimidate me ! I do not dare to use them |
Sue Jalowiec zipperstop.com |
Marilyn G Baby blue looks good |
Eleanor L On the shoulder if you need to work in several stitches to have them match space them evenly apart and I will look like it was planned. Eleanor Leap, Lansing, Michigan |
Catherine Z Yeah, I mean't to do that! |
Patricia H mistakes - designer details! |
Mistakes are creative opportuntities |
Nancy M I've never needed a reason to make those mistakes |
Marie-Jo C It happened to me to have a too large band but it was uglier than yours, Sue ! |
Phyllis K D On a scarf, I actually did stick a "flower" over an unfixable mistake. Really sets the scarf off nicely. |
Pauline P Pauline - YES PLEASE. LOVE IT! Not a disaster for me! |
Matthew F Way to much LOL |
Karyn B About how much time did you have into the knitting of this project Sue? |
Patricia H got a few never gonna get finished too! |
Pauline P Pauline - lovely! Looks super. Not a disaster after all! |
Cindy M One of the main differences between an expert and a newbie, is a newbie quits and an expert says I need to figure out how to fix this! |
Magda C I consider the band till 20% less circumference from the neck |
Margaret G I'm laughing! |
Pauline P Pauline - very nice. Just tie the ends into a bow! |
Nancy M need to swatch the trim, too |
Patricia H yup, done some of the same with the neck band |
