Although I am not knitting the KAL with you, I enjoy watching your videos to learn more about knitting. I am glad that you are sharing information about your knitting book library and you stating what is of particular interest in each book.
Long time ago I found Arenda Holladay’s tutorials very randomly and then I found you later. You mentioned in this video that she is your mentor. You two are my the most favorite knitting experts. 😊👍 What a coincidence.
I agree w/ your recommendation for the Montse Stanley book. I was fortunate enough to pick up an earlier book by her "The Handknitter's Handbook" at a yard sale for a quarter. It was a bit above my level when I got it, but it has become a go to book for me when I need to really understand a technique.
I liked your comment about "splitting yarn" being a 'knitter problem'...not a 'yarn problem'.... therefore, pointy needles can be used for any yarn. Learn to use them correctly. Thanks, Suzanne!
Ann Budd needs to make a handy tool in a 4" gauge version. I love the idea of the one inch on but usually I can't get accurate gauge for socks with only 1 inch. I can see how it would be handy for quick gauge reference though :)
I know what you mean about thinking one thing and saying another. Also, after watching you for just a little while I think I would classify you as a knitting "scientist". :)

Yep, happy knitting.
Great tip, Suzanne! You mentioned for us to continue checking gauge throughout a project! Thanks!
Thanks, Happy knitting.

Right. It is not really for determining gauge, but for spot checking. Happy knitting.
Thank you for the video!
You are welcome. Happy knitting.

Ah, yes, scientists. Lots of experimentation. Thanks and happy knitting.
