Love this tip! Fantastic! Thanks ever so much. Been struggling to straighten my stitches all day and just gave up this afternoon. Solution found!
Yay! So glad it helped.
I wish I had known your tip a few years back. I have been doing the same sort of check that you showed but without the stitch markers. Your way is much easier to see and helpful for keeping count too. Also, it was super helpful to learn you can get rid of a twist right after the first round and how to do it! I'll be using your tips the next time I have to join in the round.
When I learned about undoing twist after the first round my mind was blowneth.
you’re a GENIUS thank you
Thank you for the kind words. Happy to share what I've learned over the years.
Sorry this is late but congrats on 1K!! Keep up the great work! On to 10K!
As thanks. And you’re not late! It only just happened a few days ago
Ok. So you are cute and fun, but what about 224 sts in size four needles. I always check obsessively, but with so many sts., I still sometimes get twists.
Thank you and I’m sorry to hear that. If you’re still getting twists perhaps it’s best in that circumstance to knit the first one or two rows flat and then join in the round.
Also, when I’m knitting with that many stitches I like to use at really long circular needle and use traveling loop (aka half magic loop) when knitting. That way my stitches aren’t as bunched up on the cable when I’m joining in the round.
@@CarrieCraftGeek I have tried that. Like you, I’m not crazy about it. In this case, I had worked 3 rows before carefully joining, and then 3 more before I could tell for sure. I had made this same pattern twice before without getting the sts twisted. Always feel it’s a toss up before I can tell. Btw, I have 57 yrs of experience, and have won blue ribbons for my knitting. Soooo frustrating!! Thanks for your quick reply.
I feel like I’ve kinda reverse engineered this technique from my own mistakes, but having the stitch markers is gonna make it so much easier to keep track. Thank you
Yes, I am Jewish and I've mentioned it on my channel so no worries. I'm so glad you found us!
