Thank you!! I'm going to rework some things and put together the videos as an easy to follow knitting course. You might enjoy it as a hobby. It might be something for patients to try out. It's definitely helpful for managing stress with the repetitive motions involved. Plus it's a fun hobby and is helpful to transfer other bad habits to more healthy activity. My goal is to have it all put together within the month. I'm sort of excited about it!
You are so entertaining! This is the exact video I was looking for. You made me laugh, and I learned how to make tassles for my balnket...I mean fringe 😂
Thanks Megan!! How interesting! I can see how there would be some crossovers, for sure! Both are taking a strand of fiber and transforming into something new. A new trend for people is finger knitting....which I don't really get. Just use the needles already. lol! It seems like it over complicates the process....but I could see using that technique with rope, so if you wanted a knitted style fabric in any of your work, finger knitting would be the way to go. But I would not do it for a large piece, because I think it would be really hard on the back to be on the floor doing that.
Hi Patty, I see this video is from four years ago but hopefully you are still here. Thanks for this awesome video. I have a question. I’m making a scarf out of 100% wool right now, and I want to add fringe. However, the yarn I’m using pretty much completely falls apart (the fibers come untwisted from each other) if they aren’t in the scarf or in the yarn ball. Is there a way I can add fringe with this yarn or do I need to use another yarn? I really don’t want to use another yarn but I’m afraid if I use this yarn that the fringe will just turn into fuzz. Hopefully this makes sense. Can you help?
Sounds like you're using roving wool which is untwisted yarn. I understand the appeal, but but yeah, with no twist there's nothing to hold it together. You can certainly use roving, but it's going to shed every where and eventually the fringe is going to fall apart. If you want to test it out, try knitting a small swatch and put some fringe on it using the yarn you want to use. Then play with it for a few days and see how well it holds up. Testing it is really the only way to know for sure, but if I had to guess, I would have to say you probably need to use something more sturdy. I hope that helps!
@@PattymacMakes Patty, yes, it is roving wool! Thank you, this is really helpful. I’m new to knitting and had no idea about this type of wool. To be honest, I don’t really like working with it. I’m glad I know that now, and thank you so much for your help!
Will this come lose in wash? Made 1 years ago and it never came loose but then I made my daughter a baby blanket for my grandbaby and she said that tassels came loose
Well, I would not recommend putting a hand knit item into the washing machine. They are not designed for the agitation. If they have to be machine washed, I would suggest the gentle cycle and then dry flat. I would suspect the agitation would loosen the fringe but they can easily be reattached. But the main thing is to avoid machine washing. Also I suppose if you really, really pulled hard on the fringe it would be a tighter told with the "knot" but the fibers would still fray all over the place with agitation. Have you been able to see the item and do a little repair work?
I have a reeeeeally beginner question... you mention a “right” side of the work. What would happen if I put tas - I mean fringe - on the “wrong” side of the work?
HA HA!!! Well if you knit in garter stitch, the fabric is the same on both sides so it's not really obvious. If you do something with an obvious right and wrong side, then I think it looks better if the the loops around the top of the fringe are on the "pretty" side of the knitted or crochet fabric. Honestly, you can make it to your personal taste. There's not absolute. Knit a small sample and play with the fringe and see what you think. I always think working on a sample to get the hang of something is the best way to see what do or don't like. I hope that is helpful!
Thanks for writing back! What I’m wondering about isn’t about front and back, but horizontal and vertical right and wrong. So if I knit left to right, would it be wrong, cause problems, or just be considered de classe to put the fringe on the up and sides - if that makes sense.
@@betsannroper Betsy, it's your project, my dear. You can put the fringe anywhere you like!! Try it and see if you like it, if you don't you can pretty easily remove it and put it on the ends. But honestly, the whole point in making our stuff is to make it the way we like it. You only need to please yourself! I have seen fringe along the edge of shawls so why not try it on a scarf? I say go for it. I hope that answers your question.

You're welcome! I hope it helps!
can you use more than one color for the fringe? like colors from the blanket you crocheted to make it look more completed?
Absolutely!!! You can use whatever colors you like! Also using different weights together is fun. Be as creative as you are called to be!

@@lexiisreading9486 You're welcome!!! I love the the furry quality of roving, but it's delicate. It makes gorgeous pom poms though!!
Thank you x
You're welcome! ENJOY!!

Thanks for your feedback, though I'm not sure what you expected from a tutorial about putting fringe on a knitted scarf.
