    Really enjoying your podcast. I am with you - short tips hurt my hands as well. And i can only knit so much with linen and cotton - there just isnt the give that wool has. Blends are a great compromise. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. They are really fun to watch. :)

    I can't do short needles either. I asked for the Lykke interchangeable needles for Christmas and my husband accidentally bought the 3.5s. I decided to try them but I couldn't do it. I had to send them back and exchange it for the 5in. I love the 5 inch set!

    Try putting a wide rubber band around the wheel that has the shaft on your ball winder. I used double stick tape and a wide band like you'd get on produce (broccoli), then placed the rubber band on the vertical edge of this wheel. This provides some extra grip between the wheel and the "spinning top" shaped piece. Hope this helps you also.

    Idea for your yarn storage. Rescue a china cabinet or corner cabinet from habitat resale or goodwill. Might be cheaper than buying wood. You can paint it to match your decor.

    If you decide to knit a Shaker sweater, you might try the two-round pattern where you *P1, K1* on the first round, then *P1, K1 Below* on the next round, and continue in that sequence. I am currently knitting the Soft + Cushy Hat, which is a free pattern from Purl Soho, and that is the two-round sequence used. The fabric has a thick but cushy Shaker look and feel, very nice.

      I knit continental and purl using the Norwegian purl. Look up TH-cam videos for both. You don’t move the yarn to the front when doing the Norwegian purl. It’s a life changer for me.

      I struggled with the same, Katlyn! Like others have said…. Continental style knitting with Norwegian purling was how I was finally able to overcome my years of failed attempts as you can keep your yarn in your left hand just like crocheting! Now I can’t stop knitting and it is easy to go back and forth between crafts! Don’t give up! It is worth the effort to find your groove and what works for you! ❤

    I have the same winder and not really thrilled. The cakes would collapse into a bloody mess. I learned from another podcast to turn it counterclockwise. That sorted it. I haven't had ir slip like you but the wheel to the right rises out of its connection. I end up using my cheapo pladtic one.

    On your ball winder. I bought one just like it on Etsy, found out it was from India and very poorly made. He rubber part ended up breaking 😢. I just threw it away. I now have a fantastic one from Fiber Supply Company. When using your mini Chiagoo needles, I find it helpful to use a short one and a longer one together. When I first got mine, I hated them and sold them. However, I bought another set and use them all the time. I have the Red, Blue and Yellow set of the mini’s.
    I love your podcast and I look forward to watching it each week. I’m originally from Missouri and used to go Arkansas all the time. I live in the Seattle area now.

    I too have a big problem with my wooden winder ( not the same brand) I was told when not in use to “undo” the band so it’s loose but I try to do that but still have trouble. Plus even though I’ve “cranked” the winder to the table it always loosens and moves around. If you get any ideas please share in your next video. Love your podcasts!!

  • @MySweetT1
    @MySweetT1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Regarding the ball winder, try wiping down the band with some rubbing alcohol or vinegar. It might have some oil residue on it. You can also take some fine sandpaper and clean up the grooves the band fits in. If it was waxed or sealed it could be slipping on it.

    Worked on my spinning while I enjoyed your chat! I have a Lendrum and I was plying some undyed BFL it’s super bouncy which makes me so happy and it softer than my last BFL spin (I got this from the Woolery)
    I had to laugh, I store my stash in clear sterilite bins, same as yours😅. I don’t mind it because I can see it. Mine is organized by weight. I am paranoid because several years ago we had a carpet beetle problem (from some bird seed!) and they ate some yarn 😢 so after that I moved to bins. Some day I will go back to some type of better, prettier storage.

    Omg kaci. First: my Ball winder broke too. I have the same just by another company. And suddenly it just makes sloppy donuts instead of cakes and I can’t figure the heck out of it. The company does not help me and the warranty was just for two years and I have it for about 3 years…. Now I’m looking at the one from ashford.. but yes it’s so annoying. Second: also don’t like magic loop and also swear to my non interchangeables because I like the fixed ones better. 😅 please can someone help us with our ball winder problems? 😂

    My wooden ball winder never worked for me it runs fine without yarn but I never can get it to work like the plastic ball winder. I bought the wood one after my plastic one broke, thinking it would be better because it was wood & expensive. I ended up going back to plastic. Every now & again I try the wood one to see if it will make a ball but always get a messed up tangled mess. Your podcast are great.

      @yarnstories485 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a bit of a trick too it. Your ball winder needs to be in a straight line from the swift to the tension rod. I feel like Lykke needs to do a tutorial on how to
      Set it up. Also too much tension isn’t good.

  • @juliabodle581
    @juliabodle581 ปีที่แล้ว

    The problem looks like the friction between the band and the wood of the small cog is not good enough so the band slips and doesn’t turn the cog.
    You could try taking the band off and putting a rubber band in the groove so it fits snuggly but is not over stretched. This might provide enough grip to solve the problem.
    Please let me know if it works. xx

    Oh my goodness, I felt like I was alone with the Lykke ball winder!! The driveband on mine snapped for no reason, and it did the slipping problem straight away, even though I wasn't leaving the drive band on it when not in use. They don't even sell replacement bands, and the Knitpro ball winder's drive bands don't fit. I'm so mad that I spent so much money on the Lykke winder, thinking it would last me forever, only to have it break within a few months. I'm still trying to work out what to use to replace the band, so if anyone has suggestions, they'd be greatly appreciated!
