Today's post is a special request from a viewer! She wondered if I had a video showing the figure 8 specifically on reverse stockinette, since I briefly mention in my one figure 8 video that the process can be a bit different in that stitch. So here you go!! The figure 8 for reverse stockinette… Continue reading Figure 8 Start for Reverse Stockinette

Three Needle Bind Off
The three needle bind off is really easy! You just need a third needle (or a crochet hook) and you're good to go! Here's a video on how to work it: You are knitting into the first stitch on each of your two needles, then working a basic bind off on your right hand needle… Continue reading Three Needle Bind Off
Picking Up stitches along a Garter Edge
This week I have a video on picking up stitches along a garter selvedge. There are a few different ways to do this - two spots on the selvedge stitch itself, and then the "normal" spot for mattress seams between the selvedge and the next stitch. I much prefer the first of these - picking… Continue reading Picking Up stitches along a Garter Edge
Picking Up and Purling
Last week I showed you picking up and knitting. This week I'll show you picking up and purling! It's very similar, only it happens when the wrong side of the fabric needs to be facing you for whatever reason. I hope this was helpful!! Next week I'll be showing you how to pick up stitches… Continue reading Picking Up and Purling

Here's a video showing you how that is done: Many knitters think that "picking up and knitting" means to… Continue reading Picking Up and Knitting
Seaming Series: Using a slip knot versus Not using a slip knot

She asked me to show the difference between starting seams when you've used a slip knot versus when you haven't used a slip knot for the long tail cast… Continue reading Seaming Series: Using a slip knot versus Not using a slip knot
Seaming Series: Finishing Mattress Stitch
Hello! If you recall, I did a whole series of videos on seaming a couple of years ago - and one of my videos showed how to finish off the end of mattress stitch. Well, that method is only really applicable if no further seaming will be happening on that edge. (And isn't really an… Continue reading Seaming Series: Finishing Mattress Stitch

Weaving in Tails: Garter Stitch
Today's post is the third in my series on weaving in tails. We look at garter stitch today! We saw that duplicate stitch was the best method for stockinette stitch last week. We can still use the same method, but we have to only use the visible purl bumps in garter. Here is a video… Continue reading Weaving in Tails: Garter Stitch
Weaving in Tails: Stockinette Stitch
Today's tutorial is the second in my series on weaving in tails. We look at the most common fabric and technique: weaving in tails in stockinette stitch. (Check last Friday's blog post for weaving in tails in ribbing.) Duplicate stitch is the best method, by far, for weaving in tails on the WS in stockinette.… Continue reading Weaving in Tails: Stockinette Stitch
