I’ll Knit If I Want To: Episode 156

Welcome to I’ll Knit (& Spin!) If I want To! I asked y’all to send in some of your questions (from everything from fiber arts, to designing and on!) so I could put together a little video for y’all every Friday doing my best to answer your questions! Sign up for my newsletter here: Sign up for the DRK Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/diPxsr In this week’s episode we cover: 1. My question is about the Douglas Cardigan.  Did you weave in all your new color ends as you went or did you wait until you were finished with the sweater?  If you did it when you changed the colors, what method did you use? 2. Hi Andrea! I’m knitting your Traveller Cowl and I have an issue with the edges. I re-started the first section of the cowl 3 times already and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Both the icord edge and the slipped stitch edge seem to be too tight compared to the squishy and stretchy texture of the cowl. I tried knitting the icord loosely but each time I have a feeling it turns out way too tight and in a way pulls the garter edges too close to each other. The same happens with slipped stitch edge. Any advice? :) 3. Hi Andrea, I’m excited to participate in my first DRK March to May knit along! I’ve got the yarn and I was hoping you could help me decided which pattern it would work best for. The yarn is FDF foxy lady (in olive oyl); would it look/work better for boho blush or free your fade? Thank you!

I have my own autoimmune concerns but no idea where to start, and live in an area that doesn't have the best medical options. I'm not asking for medical advice, just curious where you got started on your healing journey! 5. I’m curious how you swatch for a color work sweater you plan to knit in the round? For instance, your Mackworth pattern, I would need to swatch stockinette and a colorwork repeat. But I plan to knit in the round so should I do a circular swatch? Would I get an accurate gauge knitting in a smaller circumference? Do I do a circular cheat and knit flat, but carry the yarn across the back? That always leaves my edges a mess! I feel like I’m constantly fumbling and my tension is all over the place. If I’m honest, I haven’t attempted a second sweater because swatching is holding me back. Please help! I love your demonstrations they are always straightforward and very clear. 6. Hi Andrea, I just finished the Nightshift Shawl and I love it! The pattern was fun and so easy to memorize. My question is, I used a slightly lighter weight yarn and went down one needle size based off the yarn label. I assumed I could just knit to the right measurements by increasing the number of pattern repeats. However my depth ended up bigger than the pattern and I had to stop short of the wingspan length. Why is this? I can’t wrap my brain around the math of it. Thank you so much. Love my Nightshift! Today I am wearing the DRK Everyday Sweater Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr...
