Thank you, Mary! 🤗 Thanks so much for tuning in ♥️ I along with others in my FB finger knitting group sell them for $35.

Yay 🤗🤗 I’m so glad you love it ♥️ Thanks for sharing your experience with me!

Oohhh, I’m so happy I was able to help you! Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I appreciate the support 🥰

I buy in bulk from a few overseas suppliers 😊

It really works! Let me know how goes ☺️

Great question! So, when working the first row, I always turn the foundation chain upside down to work through the back humps. It’s much easier working through the back humps when the chain is upside down. This gives the foundation chain the same braided look as the bind off chain. Once the first row is completed, the foundation chain no longer needs to be upside down. Since we work projects flat when finger knitting, the piece can now lay flat.

@stacyjames_jsar thank you si much for getting back with me I anxious to try this .Have a safe holiday weekend.

Hi Missy, I don’t have a tutorial for pumpkins but @brendakay has a couple I believe ☺️

The video’s thumbnail shows the entire blanket completed if that’s what you’re referring to. If you’re having a hard time seeing the pattern as it’s worked, watching it on a larger screen, such as a computer monitor or TV, can help ☺️ Either way, just follow the pattern for at least 20 rows. The piece stretches out as it’s worked. Trust the process, and thanks so much for watching 🤗

Thank you for watching 🤗❤️

lol, I’m absolutely terrible with the live feature 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 Hope you were able to get to the good stuff 🤗

Thank YOU for watching 🥰 I buy in bulk from a few different overseas suppliers. Are you interested in buying in bulk?

Yay! 😂

Aw, thank you, my friend ♥️ You are too kind.

Ugh! I feel that. Still happens to me after 40 years of knitting/crocheting 🥴 So happy to be able to help ☺️♥️

As are you! Thank you, Miss Gaye 😘

Aw, I’m sorry you’re struggling. Is there something in particular you’re finding confusing?

Awww 🥰 Thank you, sweet Gaye ! I appreciate your support and friendship, my friend 😘

do you have a pattern or video on how to make this blanket?

@user-rd7mb4xi9i I’m working on the video and pattern now. It will be available once I launch my membership program in July ☺️

What a great idea! I sure can. I’ll add it to my list ☺️

@@stacyjames_jsar Thank you so much

Thank you for your kind words and feedback, Gloria ♥️ I’m sorry you’re finding it difficult to work the 2nd row due to the curling effect after working row1. This is a technique I use on all my blankets, which provides a couple benefits such as slack management off the foundation row and width management as the rows are being worked. I have found that this technique improves the quality of the blanket over time as it keeps the foundation chain from separating from the body of the blanket, an issue I personally experienced when I first started hand knitting 4 years ago. I review this method in my beginner’s tutorial. If you haven’t already, I would recommend watching that for more instruction and explanation. I really appreciate the opportunity to provide a bit of clarity, and I sure hope you understand. Thank you so much for tuning in! ♥️

You are so kind, thank you ❤️❤️ and thanks for tuning in ☺️

Hi Kathy 🤗 This is very common when just starting out. Be sure to watch my beginner video. It addresses this issue. I don’t have a tutorial on how to take the beginning apart but, yes, it can be done. If you used a slip knot to beging your foundation chain, untie that and unravel each stitch from the tail end. You’ll see that as you unravel the chains, there will be loops that you can work into once you unravel far enough back to the rows you want to redo. Then, you bind off your stitches just as you do at the very top when finished with the blanket. Good luck 🤞🏼 I hope this helps ☺️

I'm also gonna need the racoon head tutorial!!!! Peeeeeeese!!!!

Hi Kirsten 🤗 I apologize, I didn’t have time to finish the one from the live tutorials. However, I’m working up an Octomom for a customer and recording it for a full tutorial for my up and coming membership program in the next few months.

I can’t wait to see it, Carrie!!! I love this stitch pattern. Very little stretching with wear ♥️♥️

Hi Sue! That is actually a complicated question. Tension is specific to each person, which means you’ll get a number of different answers to this question. I use roughly 220 yards for a 40 x 60. If you’re just starting out, I would recommend that. You want to make sure you buy enough yarn for your projects and this should leave you with extra.

Thanks!!

You’re welcome 🤗

That’s right. Amigurumi is crochet ☺️

Thank you so much for watching, Lorraine 🤗 I’m happy to share my supplier info. Please email me at support@justspoolinaround.com and I’ll respond with the info.

Thanks again for the share.

Aw, this warms my heart ♥️ Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with me. I love being able to help people hone their skills and learn new things. Thanks so much for tuning in ☺️

Thank you 🥰

I thought so, too but that didn’t work either 🤦🏼‍♀️ I ended up having to use a drill bit.

Hi Deborah ❤️ This is actually still a work in progress. I ran out of the yarn I used for the stars, bought more and just never got back to it. I had actually forgotten about it until just recently…oops. Anywho, I’ll add it to my list of WIPs to finish up but it may be a bit. I’m working on quite a few things right now hoping to get some fresh videos out for you all. Thanks so much for supporting my channel! I’ll do my very best to get you an update on this as soon as I’m able ☺️

I would love to see your video

Oh dang, yes, this is quite ambitious for a first attempt at finger knitting. I totally understand why you’re so confused lol. I would recommend starting with this tutorial first 🤗 th-cam.com/video/bLxGRsXDSUk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Rm96ZJTEjCKvYa6L

Hi Rosita ☺️ Currently, I specialize in finger knitting with the 7 weight jumbo chenille, which can be purchased from any big box craft stores in the U.S. I order direct from the factory from a few different suppliers because I order in bulk. Are you wanting to order yarn in bulk, as in hundreds of skeins at a time?

I’m so glad you found this helpful 🤗 Thank you for taking time to comment. I appreciate you 🥰

Me either!!! Haha

I order from an overseas supplier, but most of the big box craft stores carry the jumbo chenille.

Your kindness is extremely heartwarming, Carmen ❤️ Thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you! And thanks for tuning in ☺️

I sure can ☺️☺️ Because we begin decreasing our stitches to shape the point, the number of stitches in the round will decrease. The instructions are correct. A popular phrase when following a pattern/tutorial is to “trust the process,” but we all make mistakes so I appreciate the opportunity to clarify 💜 Thank you so much for watching!

The right and left edges are considered to be scalloped because the cables are worked from the very first st to the very last st. Most of the time, each row will begin and end with a knit st - not part of the cable - which places a small border along the edge. Are you referring to the foundation and bind off chains being scalloped? If so, I’m not sure what that means.

@stacyjames_jsar I guess just asking if I can scallop without cables? I am more of a beginner but would like to scallop to create a baby blanket, smaller and no cables

@timapeterson7464 ok, so I think what you may be looking for is a simple knit. I have a beginner tutorial for that if you’d like ☺️ th-cam.com/video/bLxGRsXDSUk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CSuniWAHjrQ3NmPH

Aw, I love this!! I have no doubt you nailed it ☺️ Thank you so much for tuning in 💕

I order from an overseas supplier, but you can get the 7 weight chenille at most big box craft stores and Amazon seems to be offering a good variety lately as well.

I apologize for the delay, Katlyn. Response sent. No need to get back to me on my question. I see it’s the white heart to which you’re referring. Are you wanting to create a floor pillow? Thanks for tuning in 🤗

@stacyjames_jsar Thank you so much for the response! And I wouldn't say a floor pillow but just something a little bigger. I might try chaining 5 instead of 4 and see how that looks

Please let me know how it turns out. I did this pattern on the fly so I didn’t work up any other sizes.

Wow, that is a huge compliment 🥰 Thank you so much for tuning in 🙏❤️

Cabling can be very confusing, but with practice, that “aha” moment will come. There are so many beautiful cables out there, but I get it if it’s just not for you ☺️

Thank you so much, Sharyn 🥰 If you’re interested in making it, check out the free tutorial 🤗

Yay!! I’m so glad I was able to help you 🤗🤗 Thank you so much for your kind words and tuning in. Welcome back!!

I’ve been knitting with needles for about 30 years myself. When I first began working with this jumbo yarn, I insisted on using needles because I thought it would be easier. However, I was soooo wrong. It’s was so labor intensive that I finally broke down and gave into finger knitting. I can’t tell you how many times I frogged the first blanket I ever made, and I didn’t start with just the stockinette st. I just had to do a cable. The learning curve is no joke!! All you have for tools are your fingers and as with needles, tension varies based on the knitter. The techniques I use to teach in this video are those that helped me with issues regarding tension, stitch consistency, attention to slack and finishing work, but you are not alone…this is not easy like so many videos out there claim. Be kind to yourself and enjoy the journey. You will be happy to have stuck with it. Soooo worth it 🤗
