Enjoying your rambling while reviewing yarns. Glad you are learning to knit. I learned crochet as a child, knitting only 13 years ago. I still feel more comfortable with crochet, feel more in control. But i like knitting for clothing rather than crochet. Also a knife holder and continental knitter. I think it's nice to have both in your arsenal. Di you have sensory issues with wool, or are you a vegan? There are many types of wool, or alpaca if its a sensory issue. Dont know your background with wool. I like a lot of the knitpick yarns including comfy and brava. Not tried animation or vividie which are newer. I think companies are always mis-labeling weights of yarn, which is annoying.
@@jeanette6396 glad you enjoyed the video! So wool has always felt scratchy to me so I’ve avoided wool mostly for the texture but then I found out some wools are softer like merino, but when I tried out some Marino I still didn’t like the texture plus I couldn’t take the sheepy smell of it. But I have recently discovered I do like alpaca though. I’m using one yarn that’s baby alpaca blended with cotton and a little yak that’s nice (Haya by Holst Garn). I’m really enjoying learning to knit and finding some yarns lend themselves better to crochet and others to knitting.
Glad you are getting along with alpaca. There are so many blended yarns nowadays that it's hard to try them all. Wool has an elasticity no other fiber has, so maybe blended with cotton, alpaca, etc.would work for you. But i love the sheepy smell! Also enjoyed your review of bamboo yarns, and would enjoy seeing your makes, etc.
@@jeanette6396 thanks! I’ll keep trying different yarns, maybe the one I tried was particularly sheepy haha! I do have 3 podcast type episodes (the ones titled “Creative Show and Share”)now that show my makes, and more to come!
Haha well I am an admittedly tight crocheter 😂 which I usually counteract by going up a hook size or 2… but I’m learning to knit now which is helping (tight tension and knitting do not go well together).

You stitch is too tight. With the last yarn, it looked like you were fighting the yarn, and you won.
