Thanks, Patty! After working a large triangular stranded-knit shawl flat a couple of years ago, I'd sworn off ever doing that again! But your video makes the thought of working that sort of project again much less intimidating!
Patty, your videos are super helpful, thank you so much! I love your gorgeous red sweater in this video, did you make it, is it a pattern of yours for purchase?
But! How to work garter stitch without turning work. So mirror purling so that “bumps” are facing knitter to create garter stitch without turning work.
Speaking of yarns going over or under… a question about maintaining consistent yarn dominance. If, on RS rows, I carry the light color in the left hand, I find that color dominates over the dark. If I want to continue that and have the light color continue to travel *under* the dark, do I keep the light in the left hand on WS rows? Or do I have to switch hands when purling back backwards? Thanks, Patty! Genius, as usual. 😊
oooh that's a great question. For me I don't see a difference whole swatch in the video I show was knit with me keeping the yarns in the same hand through. BUT, your milage may vary. Sounds like a fun experiment to one repeat one way and a second repeat with switching hands.
That is Simone and it will be my next video sweater class. It will be a very customizable (body shape options, sleeve options) yoke class. Subscribe to my newsletter on pattylyons.com and you'll get the info when it comes out.

That is knitting backwards. Yu can do that to. I teach a class on it: pattylyons.com/product/improve-your-knitting/
