I’ll Knit If I Want To: Episode 110

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. I'm also knitting the DRK Everyday Sweater. This is my first sweater. Last week you talked about the sleeves, which was very helpful, however I'm stuck on the yoke. How deep should it be? Does it need to be long enough down my arm past my armpit? I've knitted all 4 yoke increase sections and I think i need to add another inch before separating for the sleeves. I know I won't wear it if it's too close to my armpit. I recall you saying something recently about starting the sleeve 1 inch below your armpit. I don't remember which sweater you were talking about. 2. GAUGE!! AHHH it really is a love-hate relationship :) I know you have talked about gauge so many times and there is information out there everywhere, but I need someone to break this down for me in simple terms. I am getting ready to knit “Sheltered” for my daughter. The gauge in the pattern is 18 sts & 27 rows on US 7. The yarn I am using states the gauge is 17 sts & 23 rows on US 8. The pattern and yarn are both worsted weight. I know gauge depends on the type of knitter you are, but where my confusion is, where do I start with needle size. Should I start with what the pattern states or since the gauge is 18 sts for the pattern and the yarn says 17 sts do I use a size US 7,8 or 9 to do my first swatch? I usually have to do more than one swatch, but I think it is because I am not sure which size needles to truly start with. Does this make any sense to you?? Also, I really enjoy your podcast each week! So happy to see that you are feeling better! 3. Hi Andrea! I am knitting my first pair of DRK Everyday day socks and am quickly becoming obsessed and see many more pairs in my future. I would love to be able to make a pair for my husband. He has very large feet and is out of the typical size range for sock patterns. My question is, is there an easy way I could adapt the DRK Everyday sock pattern to accommodate a much larger foot? I know math is involved, but I’m not sure how to go about this. Thanks! 4. Big fan of your podcast and patterns! I’m about to start my 5th shift cowl, and I was wondering if you could help me with a problem I’m having on my current ones knit out of Spin Cycle Dyed in the Wool. They often roll up at the i-cord bind off edge. Do you know why that is and how I could fix it? I’m generally a looser knitter but my gauge is pretty spot on. I’ve wet blocked them several times and pinned them out until fully dry, but they usually start rolling up after a few wears. Help! Is there anything I can do on current ones or the ones I knit moving forward? Thanks! 5. I just finished my first brioche project and have caught the bug. I’ve seen some conflicting messaging on blocking brioche. Do you block and if so is there a special technique? Always look forward to your weekly Q&A. Thank you.
