Lovely suggestions! I am trying to work down my stash a bit this year. I've been thinking about casting on a jelly roll blanket as I think it will be a good project for using leftovers of self-striping yarns from socks, as the construction will still keep the stripe effect.
I’ve been making yarn cozies out of my leftovers lately, especially since I’m a center pull lover and am familiar with the eventual mess that happens when you’re almost done with a cake
I completely agree with you on the sock blockers!! However, when it comes to stitch markers, I am completely opposite. I hate plastic markers of any kind. I mostly use plain metal rings to mark increase/decrease or pattern repeats. I also use what I call light bulb markers to count rows. I love 'progress keepers' but never use them on my knitting because I find the cute charms that make the so appealing to get in the way while knitting so they hold my markers together in my notions tin.
I thought holding fingering double is Worsted weight! Since you g et ~400 yards on fingering, holding it double would net you 200 yards (the same as worsted)
It really depends on the fingering weight yarn. Some have more around 460 yards creating a dk weight gauge. That’s why I always say a DK-worsted gauge. It also depends on your needle size and gauge.
All of these patterns aren't free. You need to reword the title on your video a little bit better. Completely misleading when you say "FREE knitting patterns". Please be transparent next time in your video title. Thanks.
Oops! I'm in the wrong place... I don't pay more than $0.00586 for yarn, if I can help it, so I certainly don't buy patterns either. The latter is not because I'm a chintz, but, because I can't read them anyway. I stopped in because I crochet, Tunisian, and knit...and sew, tailor and alter. I pretty much know how pattern pieces should fit together so when I do tricks with sticks, I just shaped the pattern pieces so they'll fit together. I am very "monkey see -> monkey do" , so I can do any tutorial I watch. I was hoping this would be a tutorial video, and then I saw how short it was, at about the same time you said something about paying for a pattern. There are thousands of Saved videos in my library for that, and many zillions more from women all over the world who speak every language known to man. I don't need to understand their language to read what their hands are doing, as they seem to be excellent demonstrators and very patient teachers if they don't speak English. Many don't speak at all, except with their hands or fingers, or pointing out things with their sticks where attention needs to be paid. Some even cutely point out something do it the wrong way and then waggle their finger at you to say no no no no don't do it this way,, then tap at the place where you are supposed to insert your stick and then show you the right way. They must know it's a common tendency to mistake at a certain juncture. They seem to strive very hard to make sure you can do it perfectly. They may also give you the A-OK symbol with their hand, when it's completed and it looks like it should look. ¡Çiao! I may stop in again at another time.
Thank you so much for sharing these. I have a major stash crisis and needed so ideas to bust it asap ❤
I have never knitted a thing in all of my 63 yrs.
But, I'm ready to learn.
You can do it! I learned by watching marlybird, where she teaches her mom and I haven’t quit yet! Love it! Good luck❤
Thanks for taking a different route with scraps. So much more out there then just blankets.
You’re so welcome 🥰! Glad you enjoyed it!!

That's a great idea! Perfect for leftovers ☺️
I love stash busting projects.
I’m with you they’re the best 🥰
Thank you for the great ideas! I also love and am working on the Sweet Shop Blanket.
You are so welcome! Love that!!
I tried to make a blanket I can't get my corners right

In the title of the photo it states “Some free knitting patterns”
@@TwinStitchesDesigns 11 out of 12 patterns you shared are paid. Just 1 free pattern. That is not "some".
BLAH BLAH BLAH STOP talking and start showing your work.
Feel free to go somewhere else
