Knitting: How to knit a wrapped stitch

As I mentioned in some other posts I have made several videos lately ahbout various knitting hacks. This one is about knitting wrapped stitches. In socks, when you knit the peasant or boomerang heel, you end up with wrapped stitches all over the heel. Some with one wrap, but most with two wraps. When I first learned about it I found it fairly confusing and wished I could have seen in a video how someone does this. So I decided to make my own video about this.
I will add the links to the videos to my patterns as well, so that when people are looking for how to knit something they can just click on the link in my pattern and see how it goes. This way I do not have to check all the time whether the videos that I have used from others will still work, as sometimes they just leave YouTube. I've had that several times myself when I wanted to access a video that was mentioned in a pattern and I simply couldn't go there and had to look for another.

So here is the video:

I hope you enjoyed my video!

Knitting: How to cast on a toe-up sock

Recently I made yet another video, I made several because of a toe-up sock pattern I'm going to publish soon. I made these videos because I have seen many links to various YouTube tutorial videos in patterns that couldn't be found anymore on YouTube, so I figured I'd make them myself and add them to my patterns, so that I'm sure that they will simply be there when people click on the link of a video.

I hope you enjoyed my video!

Knitting: How to wrap a stitch

Recently I made a video about how to wrap a stitch. This is because I have written out my toe-up sock pattern and would like to show people how wrapping a stitch works. So I've put it on YouTube, and will share it on this post, so anyone can see how it is done.

I hope you enjoyed my video!

Knitting: How to make a stitch

Recently I made a short video on how to make a new stitch in between 2 existing stitches. It is hardly visible in the finished work. This is my favourite way of increasing.

I hope you enjoyed my video!

Knitting: wristlets

Quite a few years ago I purchased the book: "Knitting lingerie style" by the designer Joan McGowan-Michael. I have knit several of the garments in there and will continue with quite a few more. Last week I was at a festival and had quite a bit of time to knit or so between my workshops. So I went for the wristlets in the book. The pattern is described as knit flat and then sew the back of it together. I don't like sewing knitwear so where I can I knit in the round, as I have done with these as well. It made it a very quick and easy knit. I also knit them the way I knit socks, 2 at the same time, in the round on a circular needle. I spend a bit of time here and there between kids and workshops over the space of 2 days and then they were done. On the top picture you see the outside and on the bottom picture the inside of the wristlets. I am very pleased with how they turned out. 

Here is the link to my ravelry page on the wristlest: Wristlets on Ravelry

I hope you have enjoyed my ramblings. Feel free to comment or ask a question. I'd love to hear from you.


Have a great day!
