Omg...I am so glad I found you & this video!!! Am a visual learning and was racking my head trying to understand a new pattern for my daughter. Been about 30 yrs since I last picked up my needles, definitely rusty, and you have just succeeded in get my light bulb to go off 💡 Thanks soooo much!!!👍🏼💛
Great explanation, Emily! I was so excited to check TH-cam and see your channel pop back up - you make the best tutorials!! They are so clear and easy to follow, and I find myself checking back to them frequently. Thank you for putting these together! :)
not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last days =)
Thank you for this well made tutorial! Question: if you wanted to add short row shaping that isn’t written in the pattern, how do you know how many stitches to knit before starting the short rows? I believe you said 5 or so but is there a formula? Thanks for all you do Emily!
I haven't found a formula really, I think usually you can play around with it and fudge it if you need to. It doesn't have to be super strict if you're just using it to raise the back neck
What is the top? Is this same direction for a top-down sweater? And my patterns says to continue doing the raglan-increases meanwhile. Should I continue till the end of the row then?
If I have 91 stitches (back panel of Avia cardigan) on my circulars and in accordance with pattern sizing (L), I'm on the wrong side of work when the neck shaping instructions begin: NxRow (RS): cast off 11 sts, k22, turn. NxRow: p2tog, P to end (21) sts. NxRow: Cast off 11 sts, k10, turn. NxRow: P2tog, Pto end (9) sts. NxRow: Cast off 9 sts for shoulder, pm, cast off 34 for centre of neck, pm, k2tog, k to end. NxRow: Cast off 11 sts, purl to end. NxRow: K2tog, knit to end (21)sts. NxRow: Cast off 11 sts, knit to end. NxRow: K2tog, knit to end 9 sts. cast off remaining sts. The math just does not compute and this stair-step neck shaping look downright ugly and bulky on a two-color workpiece that I have waited years to find the pattern for. I don't know how to fix this math issue, but really want to learn. Do you have vids that can assist me working from the bottom up on circulars to convert to a sloped bind-off?

i was so confused on what my pattern was expecting me to do, your use of diagrams is so helpful

Is this for top down or bottom up?
How do you know when you need to add back neck shaping?
I’m still confused. Maybe consider doing back neck shaping example on a knitted garment?
Shape back neck 1st row 24 turn cont on back neck 24sts for of back neck dec one st at edge in next 3 row an leave 21 sts
