How to repair a snag in knitting, fine yarn.
How to do a repair.
My project got caught on some velcro, and it pulled the yarn for some 20 stitches.
Fortunately, the yarn didn't break.
With a fine crochet hook, gently find how the loop is placed. Do not twist it, and pull a bit on the fabric to see where you need to be.
It looks like the stitches aren't even missing, but further into the video, you can see the stitch open up a tiny bit.
You need to really pull on the yarn, yet gently, to make the stitches as big as they used to be. And here that's pretty small.
Once you get to the end there is still room for adjustments.
This will NOT sort itself out after blocking without this repair.
This was filmed in real time. If it had been more stitches or if the yarn had been broken, then I would frog (unravel) the entire bit.
This less than 10 minute repair made sure I can continue, without any risk of dropping stitches.
Perhaps try it in a swatch.

Knit a loop in the front AFTER you knit it in the back loop
มุมมอง 2047 หลายเดือนก่อน
In my Fine Shetland Lace group, on Facebook, a question was asked. How do I knit a stitch in the back loop AND then in the front loop. Usually, this goes the other way around. But I needed to twist the loop and increase a stitch, too. Here, I show you HOW to knit that and why. Enjoy. Have A Fine Knit.

How to do Wrap & Turn in knitting (fine lace).
มุมมอง 1.7K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi. For all patterns with an edge around the shawl, I've been using the Wrap &Turn technique. The benefit is that the edge can be knit continuously, no short rows. It also gives a nice corner because all the rows fan out and get full length when blocked. In the patterns are descriptions on how many to do and how often or where to start. In a visually oriented world, a tutorial can be very suppo...

How to cast on for circular project, when knitting.
มุมมอง 218ปีที่แล้ว
Here is a tutorial in real-time, on how to cast on for a circular project. this way, you do not end up with a large hole in the centre. It does take some effort to not drop the needles, but I'm showing you how to do that. If you want to do it, but with support, sit at a table or have a pillow on your lap. Make sure to have the needles in the right place, so you don't accidentally male new loops...

Grafting in general and especially Fine Lace.
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Hi, this is my latest design Equilibrium, and I need to graft the two knitted halves to each other. I hold one part in my lap and the other equal part is on my knees. there is a black foam board under my knitting, for security. That will prevent the lace from slipping away, the black is a good backdrop to the white yarn. I've got a red Lifeline in the top beit, so as not to miss any stitches wh...
How I knit Fine Shetland Lace
มุมมอง 2.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Let me show you how I knit very fine lace. Just because I am knittingbit on straight dull grey needles doesn't mean it can't be done with circulars, bamboo, carbon, or other types. It is all about technique. But... you DO need a needle with a lace point. Otherwise, making decreases will be very hard to do. I love doing this, I hope you do too. How do you knit? pattern: Equilibrium (not yet rele...
How to attach a knitted edge to the shawl.
มุมมอง 384ปีที่แล้ว
Have you knitted an edge separately, and do you want to attach it to your project? This is one way to do it. I had knitted another project and added an edge to it. Then, I removed the edge because the project was not to my liking. I had knitted the edge onto that project, and simply by dropping the stitch that kept the edge attached, I then was able to pull on it, and the whole edge came off. Q...
Making it all better again, repairing my knitting.
มุมมอง 659ปีที่แล้ว
I had added 1 too many loops while knitting a nupp. It's a 9 loop nupp and I took the next stitch too. I only noticed it many rows later. The nupp was pulled in a different direction than all the others. There was nothing else to do but to unravel. I layed it down on my lap, unravelled while controlling the yarn, so only 1 row got undone. Nupps tend to hold on for dear life and pull the rows be...
