Cynthia P
my yarn has slubs so i am only doing stockinette
Phyllis K D
Thanks, Magda, perhaps upload a picture of the result of the hanging the sleeve back on to lengthen it to the forum? I'm sure others would love to see the result.
Julia M
Can the sleeves be full length?
Jean Schwan
yes
Jean Schwan
yes
Magda C
thanks Phyllis, will show you the result. This time I will wash the rest of the wool before knitting. :)
Leo B
Yoke sweaters maybe a course???
Wilma T
Same here Marie-Jo, I know the English better too (than Dutch in my case)
Phyllis K D
Magda, I don't know how it might look, haven't done it for sleeves. I've done it in other things and it was good.
Jean Schwan
When we knit the sleeves is it possible to knit the cuff and bottom half in lace and the rest in full knit?
Marie-Jo C
I know better the knitting vocabulary in English than in French !!
Judy P
what a face ? priceless
Magda C
Phyllis, I thought to do that, undo and rehang and re-rib 1/1... it doesn't' look bad by rehanging ?
Jennifer J
Or at least a hand knit equivalent
Phyllis K D
If sleeves get too short, maybe open the seam and hang the edge on the machine and knit extra rows to extend it?
Jennifer J
Yes Jean!
Jean Schwan
it really is like learning a new language when you first start knitting....then when you lare learning to machine knit its like a secondary knitting language
Jennifer J
I would love to help you with a list of terms to help new machine knitters
Marie-Jo C
When knitting sideway garment, I'd like to knit the edge at the same time
Jennifer J
Oh no!
Magda C
I think my daughter washed it to hot....
Judy P
knit down, hold every 4th ndl,7 rows, i row plain bo.
Jennifer J
Pretty!
Magda C
thank you....
Jennifer J
Sounds like I just need to learn the names for the techniques. I have done the hung hem in hand stitching but it isn’t called ‘hung’
Judy P
pick up, knit down with fancy end
Karyn B
A classroom on these ribbing alternatives would be awesome
Mary Ann B
Add a trim to lengthen the too short sleeves?
Judy P
my signature finish is 8 row scallop
Magda C
