Eek -a steek! (P202201)
A Gansey is a traditional fisherman's sweater from the UK or eastern North Sea. Traditionally they are knit in the round up to the armholes and the body separates at the arm holes with the front and back being knit separately "flat".
In "my first gansey" project I decided to continue knitting in the round for the whole depth of the body, and to cut the armholes after I had picked up the stitches for the arms.
This video shows the moment of cutting along the centre of the steek to create the armholes.

Holding Yarn For Stranded Knitting (T201906)
มุมมอง 3354 ปีที่แล้ว
Stranded knitting uses two or more colours of yarn in a single row or round. Each is used for a few stitches, and the unused yarn is "stranded" across the private side of the work to form "floats". This T-torial demonstrates three ways of holding two yarns when you are doing stranded knitting: pick up and drop the yarn; hold one yarn in each hand; and hold both yarns in one hand. The same appro...

Cutting a steek (T202004)

Knitting Backwards (T202002)
มุมมอง 1334 ปีที่แล้ว
Knitting backwards (also known as mirror knitting) is a technique that allows you to know while keeping the public (right) side of the work facing you. Many knitters find it useful when working short rows because it means you do not have to turn your work every few stitches. It can also be useful with stranded colour work because you are always working with colour pattern visible, rather than s...

This is the best tutorial I have seen on picking up a steek. Thanks a lot for this 🤩
This was exactly what I needed! Thanks for sharing ❕❕
Would be perfect if I could make my hands cooperate. I'm a left handed knitter but of course there's not A SINGLE instructional video for stranded work thats for left handers. And trying to visualize the reverse isn't working. I'm gonna set it down for now before I end up throwing it through a window and come back to it tomorrow.
Love your techniques and a going to try them on my next project. Thank you.
That's perfect. I'm doing my first steek. I was wondering whether to pick up before cutting and this confirms my thoughts. But also the tip about picking up both sides of the stitch to make the cut steek sit flatter is so helpful.
Great Idea!!!! Thanks a lot for your video. I will let my Grandchildren do it!.
Thanks for such a clear tutorial, it was exactly what I needed to help me finish my cardigan!
Ohhh I am so glad I found you and your work!!! I live in Germany and I have long time trying to start a Fair-Isle- Knit. I think I can learn with you. Thanks for your time and your relaxed way to explain.
Thank you, thank you!!! I’m converting a Marie Wallin pattern that is designed to be knit flat to be knit in the round and this is exactly the detail I needed to know for the neck and armholes.
I am watching this for the reason! I want to knit Marie Wallin’s Samphrey in the round.
Many thanks for this - very useful indeed 🏵👍🤴🧶
Awesome. Very informative and useful explanation. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!!!
So glad I found this. I have been looking and looking for information on how to do this. Most videos on steeks just say now pick up stitches for button band or edge and leave it at that.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you ...just what I neede!
Great video
I can't believe this has so few views. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Awesome video thanks
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m knitting Janine Bajus’ Salmon Coming Home and I’ve not steeked armholes or V-necks before. You have given me more confidence.
Thank you so much! I've been looking for what feels like forever for a good tutorial on casting on for steeking!!
Thank you for this very well done video. Sooooo nice to hear an British accent for a change 😉.
Thant was brilliant! I am saving this one!!!!
Very useful! Thank you!
Thank you for this very clear tutorial!
Very helpful and clearly explained. I'm knitting the Sanqhuar Gansey in the round and have been looking for helpful methods for armhole steeks. Your demo of your casting on method is excellent. Thank you.
I love your tutorials, you tell me exactly what I need to know. Information I have until now been unable to find.
That's great to know. Thanks for watching.
Perfect instruction video, thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to let me know it helped.
Thank you!! I have been looking for video instructions everywhere. Time to search!
Thanks for the encouragement, John!
