Soulmate | Winding Yarn into Balls Mid-Project
มุมมอง 198ปีที่แล้ว
As we work on projects, yarn that was previously wound by a factory can sometimes begin to fall apart. In this video I demonstrate how I re-wind the end of a ball of Zauberball Starke 6 into a more tidy ball.
Seed Stitch Cast On

Great instructions at the right speed and level of detail! Thanks for posting this😊
I'm so glad you found it useful! Happy Knitting!
Thanks
Do you leave the remaining tails to dangle or do you do anything with them? I usually sew mine down and cut them off and it's a big undertaking when I do lots of color changes
Thanks for the question. If it is a slippery yarn, I might still take a moment to thread the tail onto a tapestry needle and weave it in a few more stitches, following the path of the same color yarn in the knitting if possible... then, I trim the tails to about 1".... after blocking, I'll trim them flat. If the yarn has lots of wool content (non superwash), I might just trim the tail flat with the work after it has been blocked.
Thanks for replying! I really appreciate it. 😊 @@KyleKunnecke
cant express how much i want to thank you 🙌 i was looking everywhere for how to change color vertically AND three color waves cast on and this was exactly was i needed. tysm
Thank you for the kind words - you are most welcome!
Very helpful tutorial, especially for beginners in intarsia. Now I wonder would the cast on be done the long tails cast on version without the slipknot? I prefer that way of long tails casting. Would it work here?
It would work but that first stitch might be a bit more loose than if you use the slip knot for the first stitch. Give it a try! I imagine that once some fabric has been knitted you might need to finesse that join and weave in the end to create a seamless edge.
@@KyleKunnecke thank you! I will give it a try and see what happens. It will be an experiment so fun either way :)
How do you keep the first knit/purl row tight? This is a brilliant tutorial. Thank you
Glad you found it useful! After the cast on is completed, the first knit/purl row is worked as normal. If you find that your first row when working intarsia seems a little more loose than you prefer, consider using a needle one size smaller for that first row after the CO, then switch back to the original needle and continue the project. As you know, swatching is your friend - so give it a try on a smaller piece of fabric to make sure the results are what you want before casting on for the project. Have fun!
@@KyleKunnecke thank you 😊
Thank you! Trying this out on a cardigan. I like the tip about casting on extra stitch at the end. I have more of a gap at the beginning even though I've tried it a couple of times to be tighter at the beginning, but I had it to when I was using the backward loop method.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Here's hoping for a great finished cardigan!
this was the best tutorial for this that I found on youtube. thank you!
Wow, thanks! I'm so glad it was useful!
Thank you so much for this! I am now a subscriber?
You are most welcome - and thanks for subscribing!
This is by far the most helpful intarsia cast on I found.
Thank you! I am glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful I've been trying so hard to figure out how to weave in my ends without it looking bulky
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for your share
You are welcome!
Best tutorial I have ever seen for locked floats on the purl side. Thank you very much.
Thank you! Im so glad you found it helpful
Great tip. Never heard of this. Thanks Kyle🤗
You are a beautiful knitter and a super teacher 😊Thank you
gosh thank you! I hope videos like this are helpful!
Thank you!!! This explanation saved me some tangles and confusion!
I'm so glad!
Perfect! This is how I hold the yarn. *Thank you!* The repetition is probably a real snooze for you, but it’s so helpful.
You are so welcome! It's certainly an effort to slow down but my goal is to inspire folks to give this technique some practice so that they can become better and better!
I’m guessing If we knit flat, I assume the reverse side is handled equally elegantly, but is there anything specific to purling? I’m trying to picture it in my mind, and I feel I’d need to go in an opposite direction or something when throwing the float over, but I guess I should experiment. Just thought maybe you’d already had experience of it. Anyway, this video is excellent - thank you! Edit: I see you have videos that address the reverse side. I’ll leave my question here so others will know to go look for another video.
Yes - as you found I made videos for the purl side stitches as well. Hope they are useful!
@@KyleKunnecke Thanks so much!
Super erklärt, herzlichen Dank
Dieses Video habe ich so lange schon gesucht. Herzlichen Dank für die tolle Erklärung 👍😘
This and your prior vid is exactly what I've been searching for - a technique that lets you knit both strands continental, and just twists the floaters without "knitting" both together at any point (the latter always shows the floater on the right side for me :/) But this technique is elegant enough that I think learn to love it :)
I'm so glad! It takes a little practice but I'm confident you'll be able to do it with ease after a while!
Very clever, very clean technique 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this, I've been searching everywhere for a video tutorial on how to lock in my floats, I'm new to fair isle or color work, and this has helped out so much! Thank you again! 🥰
You're very welcome!
Thanks a lot, very helpful!
Oh my word this is so helpful! 🤩
Great demonstration... now to remember it all...
thank you! Take your time and allow breaks while you practice. You'll be able to get it!
This is exciting to see as a Continental knitter, and I am about ready to start something in stranded knitting! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! I can't wait to see what you do using this awesome technique
I love ur technique. And ur slow steady demonstration. Thx for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Is it possible to demo this using a worsted weight yarn to see better for we seniors? It is the perfect Way but so few knitters use this why?
Hi Patty, I just did a series of videos using worsted weight yarn - check out my channel and you'll find them there - I think you will find them easier to see. :)
Fabulous explanation. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! It's a lot of fun to do :)
Just found this - very helpful! Thank you! Love the single movement method!
Glad it was helpful!
I cannot wait to KNIT KNIT this!!! I’m going Friday to my LYS to pick out my yarn 🧶 Thank you for taking the time to make this video!! It’s been a little bit since I’ve knit any fair isle
You are so welcome! I hope you are loving the method!
Hi Kyle🙋🏽♀️ Very good video explaining the technique.👍🏼 Glad you have a channel. Terri, fr SD.
