For helical knitting it doesn’t really make a difference if you slip one, two, or three stitches for changing the yarn. You can adapt to just slipping one if the change came to happen in an inconvient place such as a raglan increase. You could switch back to your before rate afterwards. Perhaps slip at a one stitch rate in the raglan area and then three once that is done. Happy knitting!
Thank you for this thoughtful explanation!
Aw I'm so glad my traveling loop suggestion was useful for you!!
SO useful thank you so much!
Your Twist Loop top is gorgeous! I love that sky blue colour, and I think I need a similar one in my summer wardrobe.
Thank you so much! Now that you mention it, I totally see how it reads a little blue but it's actually gray in real life! I do like the idea of a sky blue one though :)
Yay ! Always happy when you post ! Love love love the colourful socks ! You've inspired me to just cast on a random broken heel sock, this goes so well with self striping yarn ! I love the colour of the casia on you, and the subtle puff sleeve. So cool that you were complimented on it ! Have fun at the concert !
Awww that's so nice thank you Vanissia! I am always excited to see your new videos as well - so many good ones lately!
Your work is very beautiful, and good to learn about your helical knitting. Very helpful!
Aw thank you!
I am so glad you popped up in my feed! I appreciate how you discuss your projects, plus I might have to make some of these. Will definitely go back to catch up on your videos. Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
Aw thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate that and glad to hear you saw some projects you were interested in!!
Love the color of your Casia Square Neck. 💜 I like the sleeve length. The cables in your Twisted Loop top are gorgeous! Great job on the bind off. 👏🏾
Aw thank you so much! Really appreciate it 💜
Your beginning of round didn't shift, the spot where your working yarn switches shifted.
The other way you talked about is NOT helical, it's just a basic way of changing yarn.
The lilac sweater is cool! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
That makes sense and thank you!
Love the lavender haze!! My daughter is a huge Swiftie!😊. Enjoy the concert!!
Aw thank you! I'm super excited!!
Love the Casia! I like Prof Purl’s easy alternator tutorial.
Thank you so much! Cool, I'll have to check it out!
Would love to hear your other eras tour knit ideas! I'm going in July
Oooh so excited for you!!
You’re completely right about everything you observed with helical knitting. 😊
Whew, thank you so much!
Thank you for linking the broken rib socks pattern! Ive been wanting to make socks in that stitch but am too new to broken rib to gp it alone
Of course, glad it's helpful! I really like the broken rib pattern socks, it looks great and isn't too complex either! I hope you enjoy it!
The purple square neck tee is gorgeous! The comment that the BoR does not move when you helical knit is correct. The BoR can be very important in a pattern (especially if you are doing a lace or cable pattern, for instance) so having it move around would not work and that is not what happens when you helical knit. Your description where you have a BoR marker while your yarn moves around due to helical knitting is correct, but that is not BoR moving. Also, slipping 3 stitches is arbitrary and just something easy to remember - if you come up to a raglan increase, for instance, you could just slip 2 stitches if on the 3rd you need then do an increase. Next time around you can go back to slipping 3 stitches if that's what you prefer. Lastly, if you don't like that the yarn moves around, you can try the alternator method (good tutorial: th-cam.com/video/rc0sLvmaqwM/w-d-xo.html) - just don't tug when you switch yarns & place the change somewhere subtle like under the arm. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much! And I really appreciate your thoughtful explanation! I hadn't thought about not having to slip all 3 stitches. I'll have to check out the alternator method!
I absolutely want to know what else you considered for the TSwift tour!!
Yay awesome I'll chat about it next time then!!
I’m so interested in your other knitting ideas for the eras tour!
I also had the idea to knit the ghost whisperer top but in maroon. I already saw her in Atlanta and i didn’t end up making it😅
The lavender looks great!
cool cool I'd love to give a rundown of all the options options I considered! If only there was infinite time to knit outfit changes haha. Oooh maroon would have been a great idea too! That's awesome that you saw her in Atlanta, I am so excited lol
Love your Twisted Loop Top. I have also knitted this in Merino and starting another version in the recommended yarn that is soooooo light and thin! I have no idea how I will go! (I am on Ravelry if you are interested in seeing the outcome)
Thank you! It's so true, it was definitely a lot of knitting haha. I'd love to see the outcome! Would love to check out your ravelry if you are interested in sharing your user name, no pressure though :)
Did you say that you held two strands together with the brushed alpaca silk?
Hello! For the rust colored casia square neck, I used the drops brushed alpaca silk single! I used a 3.75 mm needle and also knit the pattern pretty off gauge to get the measurements I needed
Cast is also the past tense, not casted.
Oh I didn't know that, thank you!
The hurrier I go,the behinder I get.😂😂
Haha SO true!! 😂
