Invisibly Weaving in Yarn Ends on Garter Stitch

I weave in ends so they never poke out, and you won't be able to see the weaving either. Let @knitwitme show you how to do it!

Crochet Chain Joining

A tutorial for Crochet Chain Joining. This is one of the methods used in the Bingo Blanket to join knitted squares together to form a blanket. It is easy, quick and forms a dense and attractive join.
So excited I happened upon this video! Great tutorial!
Do you think this could be made on a knitting machine? I was thinking of a building it like it was a quilt doing one row of the houses. Another row of the roofs and skies , I would seem them together using The Hague linker. I haven’t used the linker yet so I don’t know if that idea is practical or not.
I think you could, but you would need to have a knitting machine that can do garter stitch in order to use these exact stitch and row counts. Also, you would want to knit the roof in a solid color rather than in stripes to simplify it. Keep in mind that a stitch in stockinette is shorter than in garter stitch. The houses are knitted sideways so they would be wider worked in stockinette.
Where did you find the blue sewing needle that you use to sew. I would love to purchase one. Thank you
I purchase them from Yarnspirations: www.yarnspirations.com/products/susan-bates-finishing-needles-value-pack?variant=47070205739323
@ thank you
Thank you for doing this
You are welcome!
Love this pattern -- have had it in my Ravelry queue for ages, but haven't started. So glad this came up in my YT feed.
It is a really fun one to knit! I hope the video helps you out!
Wow wow and wow. A lot of work but easypeasy with the end result a STUNNING blanket. 1 house a night and before long you have finished. Clever girl.
It’s very satisfying to knit the houses and watch the blanket grow, and making them all a different color scheme keeps it interesting!
This is such a cute pattern! I love the name & idea of it too. Our home is our sanctuary ❤ I think using some 100% cotton yarn that it would make a really cute washcloth, pot holder or trivet! I might make one to practice the pattern & purl return from the left for my mom for christmas. Edited to add, thank you for simplifying the method of colorwork for us. It seemed so daunting before but watching & listening to you actually do this made me realize it's not something I need to avoid or shy away from anymore. ❤
Great idea to make a washcloth! Keep in mind that if you purl your house is going to be wider. This is because stockinette is taller than garter stitch. Also you will have to change the roof pattern because that shape will not be a "right triangle."
Thank you! @@knitwitmeI'll keep these tips in mind & play around with it, not cutting ends & weaving in until it looks like the shapes & proportions are correct. I already picked up the pattern & will use it to make various projects... hopefully one day, I'll knit the full blanket as well. 🥰
❤❤❤
Fascinating. Never seen anyone do purl stitch backwards!
It gets easier if you practice it. I now do it automatically when my stitch count dwindles to 8 or so stitches. I can only do plain purling backwards, meaning that I haven't figured out how to do decreases or increases. But for most of my needs, and patterns, the WS rows are plain knit.
Wasn’t it the knit stitch backward? She was doing garter stitch, after all.
What a sweet and loving project! Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to start working on my own blanket!
You’re welcome! Have fun with your blanket! You can purchase the pattern for the blanket at: www.theknitwit.org/store/safe-at-home-blanket The version shown in the video is the mini-house.
Ive learned so much from watching this. I might just try making a little house for my xmas tree. Many thanks🎉 Merry Christmas
I am glad you enjoyed the video and learned some new techniques! Your idea to use the house as a Christmas ornament is great!
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
I love this blanket. I just preordered your new book. I also put in a request to join your Facebook group. I’m looking forward to seeing other people’s blankets.
Thank you for your support! I will go and check out my group and let you in.
@ thank you!
Pour un projet à long terme, c'est super beau 👍 et bien expliqué 👍
Thank you so much!
💐
This should be fun to make. Thnku for sharing the pattern ❤
You are welcome. Happy Knitting!
I liked your video very much❤ I am going to use this small house to knit Xmas ornaments and give them away to friends and family members to put them on their Xmas 🎄 . Thank you so much 💓
That’s a wonderful idea! I'm so glad it gave you inspiration. I would love to see some photos of the ornaments when you are done with them.
What a treat. Thank you. I have never had so much fun with a knitting book as I have had with your Geometric Knit Blankets. I regard it as a shaping (and color) workshop! I really need to buy this one. Edit: I went looking for the Iconic Knits book on the KnitWit website but found myself connected to Amazon with no details on which of the "iconic" projects (which I take means oldies but goodies for the most part) will be included. I will have to wait and see I guess but it might help your pre-order numbers if buyers could be sure about how many are duplicates from previous publications. Thanks!
Those are such kind words. Thank you! The next book (Dec, 2024 release) will have the Safe at Home pattern. You can preorder it here www.amazon.com/Margaret-Holzmanns-Iconic-Knit-Blankets/dp/0811775720/
Thank you. I have had the pattern for over a year. Hopefully this will help to feel less scared.❤
I think it will help you because it shows the sequence of construction steps and the techniques. Good luck!
Love this! Thanks!!
You are welcome!
o quedare con todo ese bello trabajo a medias. sin terminar. gracias
hola bella amiga. compre las casitas para tejer, pero tengo una gran duda. Como hago el cielo? , ya se tomar los puntos, pero no me queda como a ti, por favor te agradeceria si puedes hacer un video de como tejer el cielo, por favor. en tutorial de papel no dice como. please. gracias.
Using Margaret's book: Geometric Knit Blankets, I have knit the 30 blocks of the pattern "Windfall". I know whip stitch, but some of the blocks do not have smooth edges. How do I make the joins look even? Is there a video for joining the blocks of the Windfall pattern?
Awesome knits.

I’ve bought the book but find it very difficult to work out the instructions, I’m an experienced knitter but this one has beaten me.

@@knitwitme hi have been looking for this book with a cheaper postage option for the UK? Can only see it on Etsy with £25 postage.
🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪
Just got this book after Roxanne Richardson waxed poetic about it on her Casual Friday podcast….amazing! Can’t wait to dig in!
This is a good looking technique. I'm always looking for some new way of doing things, thanks for making a video on it.
What is the size of the mattress that the prisma blanket fits? Queen or California king?
It is more of a throw. The dimensions are 41" x 60" but you can add more pieces to make it into a bedspread if you desire.
