Michelle & Aurora Introduce the Purl Code Streetalong!
Love! Exactly what I needed to know for a stranded cardigan where one sees the inside occasionally.. and I want it to be neat. Delivered charmingly! 🤗 Lovely how the multicolour nails all matching the yarn! 😊 Thank you so much! 🤗
Love the look of multi-coloured but usually stick to one colour because of the floats. I'll definitely be trying this.
Very clear video about how to catch the float, but i am confused as to which hand holds the dominant colour. Does it get switched when you do the RS and the WS?
Brilliant video! So clear and easy to follow 🫶🏼 I’ve been struggling with consistency while catching floats so I’m definitely going to try this.
The first row of chart one has no yarn over the first time you knit through the back loop. When you do second set up row you do not knit yarn overs through the back loop but you don’t show any holes.
when you do heavy free style quilting in the center of your quilt, IE: a buttererfly, how to you prevent the excess stretch you sometimes get on the side panels of your quilt?
@@ruthbrown2414 In that case, your best bet is to use the quilt basting spray adhesive to really make sure all the layers stay in place while you quilt. 👍
Best m1 video on the internet! Thank you❤….
0:23 "It's a little bit stretchy, not a lot stretchy." Hmm....Andrea Wong teaches this same Portuguese style bind-off in her Craftsy class and says it's a *very* stretchy bind-off, which I've used myself on some fingerless mitts and found it to indeed be quite stretchy.
Thank you for this, exactly what I was looking for
Good tip! Thank you.
Great video, very helpful, I am following your method, actually I had done 21rows of fairaisle pattern, a test knit, then I was not happy with the floats , I frogged it out and I am following your method and continuing the pattern, now it looks good, thank you , also can you send me the pattern you are making.
@@ganeshsheela Hooray! I'm so glad you found this helpful! This pattern is called Dottie's Pullover, here's the link! www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dotties-pullover
@@AuroraTalksKnit Thank you very much
Oh my gosh, I have always struggled with floats in two color knitting. I frogged a project to try this and it is a game changer! The back of my work is so neat and I don' have to worry about tensioning--either too loose or too tight. Why isn't everyone teaching this. Thank you!
@@lynnmadore7373 HOORAY!! Thanks for the feedback, and I'm so glad it's working out for you! ☺️
👍👍
Hello! I have look at your video and want to learn how you do stiching wiht two coulors. And you show slowly so it is previous easy to learn. But I have looked very many times. Do you hold your dominat yarn in right hand or left hand? And I wonder if you also can show how to stich whith tre threds? My work is in three coulors, And how do you catch them? I am from Sweden so my english maybe isn't right. I hope you understand. 😅 B R Helén
Not gonna lie, its cute both ways 😂
Genius
Thank you so much! I have tried several videos and yours is the best! ❤
muchas muchas gracias!!!! muy bello, saludos
Love Portuguese knitting!! Thanks for more on this subject.❤
I'm aware of color work, but never knitted anything with color work. Thank you for the information and now I'm going to knit something with color work in it.
YOURE A LIFESAVER
Wow .... gorgeous sweater
Finishing....you don’t knot at all ?
Hi Is it totally spelled out in the pattern on the sleeves for newbies ? Thanks
This is a great tutorial- many thanks❤
Thank you for your easy to understand instructions. Knitting and purling I go quickly, but casting on flummoxed me. I watch this over and over, and what really helped was your saying my brain will want to overthink it. Which is exactly what happened. Once I told my brain to be quiet and I thought about what the tail yarn and the ball yarn needed to do, it made perfect sense. It’s much easier than my brain wanted it to be!!
Thank you. I really needed someone to say how fiddlie they are.
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much! I've been struggling with this for so long, I finally managed to work it out thanks to you!
I did my first stranded projected without researching first and it definitely was tight 😅 This video was very informative! I might try that failed pattern again in the future. :)
Gracias!!
so helpful! love to see this method of catching the floats and see an example of magic loop colorwork
It would show better if your dark yarn & dark needles weren't so close in color. I had to squint. Otherwise, great video. Thanks!
I noticed this too, but only after I filmed it during editing! 🤦♀️ I wrote a prep note to myself for next time, ha ha! 🤣
Excellent long version, super excellent SHORT! You def have your act together! Amazing lady🌸
El traductor en Español please! Gracias! ❤️
🎉 Thank you for this very comprehensive, close up and slow video plus written ‘ mantra’ chart! Stellar instruction!!!
Thank you for a very clear video and explanation👍. Well done👏
Amazing❤ I often feel sick to knit two colours but you fix my problem of catching the floats. Thanks for sharing this easy trick. I will try.
This is a great video. I’m also wondering about working with 3 colors. Can’t wait to see if you can figure it out.
Excellent explanation of the Tubular cast on/Kitchener stitch on circular needles. I almost gave up on it until I watched your video and followed along. You give such clear lessons! Thank you!!
Does this also keep it stretchy?
Yes it does!!! 👍
Perfect, have started knitting in your demonstrated way and it's taking time to get used to as I'm a thrower, but the stitches are coming out so loose and stretchy it's great! Thanks for this helpful vid, now a big fan of thee 🤘🤘
Wau! You’re so good, thanke You so much 🥰
❤❤❤❤❤
I've had some tinking and frogging lately so I totally relate. However, I've never seen a crochet hook / knitting needle combo before. What brand? 🤔
That is called a Silvalume Handi Tool! You can find them on Amazon. 👍
@@AuroraTalksKnit I'll be checking this out. Thank you!
I really loved your demonstration, but I'm a little confused.on the back side, you don't purl both yarns the same way.. when you purl the brown yarn it goes up and around the needle but when you purl the green yarn you do it the other way around.. doesn't it create twisted st for the green yarn??
Good spot! It actually creates a twisted stitch if you don't go the other way round. For some magical reason it works itself out!
❤ how totally awesome are you! Thank you so much for these great tutorials you do! ❤😊
❤ I am just learning how to do color work… This is the absolute best tutorial I have ever seen! I have tried several other ways and they are so tedious, thank you ☺️ thank you 😊 thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for the video🙏👌💝 It helps me very much!!!!!!
This is fascinating - thank you!!
thank you for the video. i struggled with joining . never looked good.
