Getting ready to start my very first ranunculus sweater and I’m so grateful for these videos! One of the things I always struggle with when casting on for any project, is my stitch count. I’m forever losing count. So I place a stitch marker every ten stitches. It takes less time to count stitch markers than it does to count individual stitches. Knitting is supposed to be relaxing. No use getting all frazzled and frustrated from the beginning because of a bad case of stitch FOMO.
Thank you for this. I made a ranunculus for myself with a ‘normal’ neckline, but my granddaughter wants the wide neckline so I had to come back to you for this tutorial. ❤❤❤
Late to the Ranunculus Party but excited on this next 'out of the box' experience. Thanks, Liz, for helping a nervous gal from Rocky Mount get started. 😉😁
Hi! I’m Rebecca, I make the videos, Liz is my assistant at the shop. I’m honored when our names become interchangeable, though, cause she makes cool stuff too :) Really glad my videos are helping ❤️❤️
Rebecca, I am throwing down the 'Old Lady card' down on the table. Of course, you are Rebecca! Silly me. I am suitably ashamed. But I am an old lady, so I won't be ashamed for long. 😅😉
Thanks for thanks for explaining this in detail …. such clear and comprehensive instructions! I think/hope! I have mastered this now after initially viewing the pattern video and other TH-cam videos without much success. New to your podcast and will be following along in future!
Thanks you so much for all your helpful videos. I could not follow along with the one the pattern provided. Your videos are perfect for my learning style.
I don't want to do the boatneck version. Is this cast-on still a good choice? Thanks for this series! Late to the party, but about to start a Ranunculus and so glad you are here with these! Am I wrong....I'm feeling like casting on will be the hardest part.
I'm going crazy with knitting in loops. How do you manage? Could you may do a video on that topic and show? And maybe you have some tips on how to deal with 2 yarns? I have a light fingering plus a mohair, they get messed up all the time with knots and curls 🙈. ... Help is very welcome! ...
Hi Annie- I might need more information on what you mean by knitting in loops- do you mean knitting in the round, in a circle? With more clarification, I might know if I already have a video, or if I can think of a way to film one down to road, or otherwise advise……. When holding two yarns together, I often keep them in their own separate containers or bags, and let them sort themselves out, and it’s only when holding them in my hand for tension that I imagine they are one yarn, if that makes sense. Often mohair needs its own container/bowl so it doesn’t get super tangled……..
Please show the portion right after cast on I don’t know what ( k1, wyif sl-, p1 ) and after 90 sts where do zi pick up ( ktbl, p1 ) so the total is 93 sts? I have to cast in 70 sts or it will not put it over my head please help I can’t give up the pattern Thanks
Hi Lu- many ask this question and it’s challenging to answer because it’s a lot of personal preference- I may make a short video discussing it- the sweater is meant to have a lot of positive ease, 35-45cm+ if you want. That means adding that much to your bust size. With a thinner yarn especially it will still have awesome drape and not look really wide, but if that feels too big, measure a sweater where you like the fit and see if there is a size that is close :)
It is one of the two cast-ons the pattern writer suggests. “Ideal” is so relative a term it’s hard to answer that question- what works for one person is not ideal for another, and the fiber you are using can change the answer to that as well. Sometimes it is only figured out through trial and error. One of her suggested cast-ons is looser than the other, so it depends on the look you would like. My assistant does a regular long tail cast on, but starts with 90 stitches.
This is *not* the same, but I know plenty of knitters who have used the German twisted for this project- the strechiness will probably be between a regular long tail and the provisional cast on version she offers.
Hi Donna- I think Liz answered this on the phone, but yes I start on the 16 inch size 10, and often I can switch to the 32 as soon as I am comfortable, sometimes after the first set of increases :)
Yes! You may need to wait until there are a few more increases before it fits on the 40”, since even the smallest size bust for this sweater is a 46”, the 40” circular will work!
❤️Since I can’t see your work, I won’t be able to tell you that. If memory serves, the most challenging part is the final dip and scoop, be careful to make that cleanly. The only loop that should end up on your needle is from the strand between your finger and thumb. ❤️
Ay por Dios tantas explicaciones abruman! Lo tuve que ver con velocidad doble y totalmente silenciada la voz. La imagen vale más que mil palabras. A veces tanta palabra confunde en lugar de aclarar. ❤
Thank you for your feedback- if the words are too much I would check out Midori’s original videos for the sweater, she does them without talking. I made these videos for those who are not helped as well by the original videos and talking helped. To each their own ❤️

Third Ranunculus. Still coming here for your lovely friendly voice and invaluable help.
SOOOOO grateful for your vids, you carried me through my first ranunculus and now I'm back for my second, couldn't have done it without you ❤
Used your videos for my first Ranunculus and today am back for a refresh! Wanted you to know how much these videos are appreciated!!! ❤

Thank you SSSSOOOOOO much! I could not figure it out from midori’s video without hearing you talk through it! Thanks!
Glad I could help!❤️

Really like this cast on. Great tutorial 🎉
Great video, after a couple of tries I was able to cast on fairly easily with a test yarn.
Excellent!❤️❤️❤️

Please show how to increase right after the 60 sts I cast on I don’t know how to do Ki wyif
Thank you👌👌👌🖐

I have to cast in 70 sts or it will not put it over my head please help I can’t give up the pattern Thanks
Can I knit in the round after my cast on for one row instead of going back?
Rebeca please help, How should I choose the size? Only by the bust circumf? My 124 cm. In advance thank you for your help. Nice day from Germany

Do you love this cast on for the Ranunculus? Is it ideal?

Is this the same as Old Norwegian/twisted German CO?🤔
This is *not* the same, but I know plenty of knitters who have used the German twisted for this project- the strechiness will probably be between a regular long tail and the provisional cast on version she offers.
Should we be starting on 16 inch size 10?
Hi Donna- I think Liz answered this on the phone, but yes I start on the 16 inch size 10, and often I can switch to the 32 as soon as I am comfortable, sometimes after the first set of increases :)
@@SunDragonTipsTricks yes Liz did answer. I am currently on round 4 of yoke. You mention 32 inch. I bought 16 and 40. inch. Will that work?
Yes! You may need to wait until there are a few more increases before it fits on the 40”, since even the smallest size bust for this sweater is a 46”, the 40” circular will work!
i keep getting two loops per movement! what am i doing wrong?!
