Great episode! I love when the conversation flows naturally with chit chat in between the knitting discussion. And it doesn't matter if you jump around because that's how most people talk anyway. At least my sisters and I do! 🤣
I have two things I'd like to learn more about. The first is on converting a DK or heavier pattern to use Fingering (single stranded). Are there any tips and tricks you and Michelle can share? I find that even DK weight yarn can be too hot to wear in our climate, plus I like the drape of the Fingering. The second thing I'd like to learn is whether there is a simple way to convert a bottom-up pattern to knit top-down or is it not worth the effort? I really like being able to try on top-down sweaters for proper fit. Or, do you have any tips for ensuring bottom-up knits fit properly and/or is there a way to try them on as you go? Thanks!
@@BagsByBarbie I definitely have some insight to share regarding adjusting weights of yarn with socks, and I’ll see what we can do to expand further into sweaters!
What a great video!!
Congratulations to the winners

I would love to learn how to knit socks using the magic loop method. Thank you!
@@JanoraParker-r7x I have some sock tutorials planned for 2025! Will definitely add magic loop specifically to the list!
Hannah: Do you ever have in person “beginner” sock classes?
@ yes! I teach them at Woolmarket Fibers! :)
Great! I will watch the 2025 Class schedule for the information. Thank you!
