| M. S Thank you again Sue!!! Very informative |
| Brunhilde P Can I use my Passat |
| Judy P raglans |
| Jody A thank you |
| Emily S I still need to inbox my used ribber... can I join knit along at my own pace? |
| Brenda L Thank you Sue! |
| Jean S Really want to do a tuckstitch baby blanket...I have this friend....lol |
| Patricia H How long do knitalongs stay up? |
| Hi from Berkshire |
| Matthew F Again - the knit-alongs are FREE with your subscription to Knititnow. Trying to make your subscription better every day! |
| Congrats Louise, thats a bonus! I never did a sideways knit, probably would be nice to do. |
| Judy from MN, will definitely be in your ribber course |
| Fede C Thank You Matthew! |
| Heidi T Minnesota! |
| Matthew F Welcome Fede - it was me that chated from youtube happy you joined us here |
| Brenda L Hi Heidi T. Where do you live. Can you be my new best friend??? LOL |
| Fede C Hi From Argentina Sue!!! my name is Federico and i am a lover of Machine Knittin |
| Jean S Really am looking forward to doing the ribber knitalong. |
| Heidi T I use my ribber for EVERYTHING! I never take it off my machine. LOVE it! |
| Patricia H Thank you Sue! |
| Jean S color blocks are great too. Lighter ones for the tops and slightly darker ones for the bottoms. |
| Cynthia P thanks for all the helpful hints and tips |
| Brenda L Yes, helpful. Love the ideas. Never thought of panels. |
| Amy G i started as a sewer and got into machine knitting. I look at the line drawings on sewing patterns to come up with design ideas |
| Nancy M a peplum design element can hide the need for the extra width |
| Elizabeth T Laura nelkin is a knitting Patten designer that does "novus" construction sweaters that are knit sideways as usually have lace panels over the sleeves and arms. I think they'd be easy to adapt |
| Judy P send a pic sounds great. just did a stripe sweater and took longer to tie in ends than to knit |
| Jean S Love that idea Louise V! |
| Louise V I just finished a sideways sweater with self striping yarn.... it has now vertical stripes = slimming effect. :grinning: - |
| Marie-Jo C Ok ! I like other shapings too !... |
| Marilyn R Just able to join! |
| Emily S What is that gorgeous sweater you are wearing? Iâve had to walk in and out of room so you may have said. Itâs so flattering |
| Judy P Gotcha !!!!!!!! |
| Dawn W Thank you! |
| Brenda L I'm pretty new to machine knitting. Is there any patterns that have a princess seams? |
| Patricia H Hahaha Jean! My necklines look like my body could fit through them instead of just my head! Will definitely have to go to store and find good fitting something |
| Jean S That's exactly what has happened to me Patricia....our youngest daughter gave me a sweater for Christmas and I could use it like a blanket! |
| Patricia H I have lost weight, everything I own is skewed! |
| Marie-Jo C Are the perfect fit patterns available for raglan garments ? |
| Dawn W Future subject: Have some cotton yarn that I would like to make a summer top or cover up from. What adjustments are needed for non stretchy yarns? |
| Heidi T Thank you! I can barely add 2 and 2! LOL! |
| Matthew F we have all the interactive maps available in the replays of the live events. If you see the "Live Map" it will load up again |
| Phyllis K D Could the map of knitters online be saved and put perhaps in the forum? It would be fun to see who is here, and from where, week to week. |
| I find it very hard to measure a swatch in pattern, for instance I managed to knit a pet-sweater during the holidays in a tuck pattern and it was much too big with the measurements I took. |
| Diana H I've been doing the same as Nancy M, worked so far but I need to adjust more. |
| Heidi T That's where Cut and Sew comes in handy. |
| Amy G I'm 4 foot 11 inches - after I started using a stretch and see sewing pattern to as my guide |
| Judy P what is the orange G |
| Cynthia P sweater patterns |
| Heidi T I find that the Craft Yarn Council's sizes run large. |
| Nancy M I use a knit leader and adjust sewing patterns or pencil&paper to do my own |
| Cynthia P i am also big busted so i find it is a problem |
| M. S Hi Sue, kind regards from the Netherlands! PErhaps I'm overlooking....do you have a schematic about which yarn can be used on the different mk gauge? |
| Cynthia P i have very narrow shoulders and the patterns are too wide and the fall off my shoulder |
