I'll Knit If I Want To: Episode 39

Welcome to I’ll Knit 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! In this week’s episode we cover: 1. Absolutely love your videos - they're a highlight in my week. ;) I have a non-knitting related question. I've been admiring your moon phase banner in the background of your videos and was wondering if you made it yourself? It's lovely! Thank you & keep inspiring us! Circles of Stitches: https://www.circleofstitches.com/ https://circle-of-stitches.myshopify.... 2. Gauge, gauge gauge!! I’m still new to understand gauge and I’m diving into sweater knitting now. I have a couple questions on measuring swatches. 1. When a pattern calls for x yardage, would that include yardage needed for a swatch? Or should I accommodate for that? 2. Is wet blocking better for swatching? I’ve heard you can steam block but not sure if that’s as accurate. I’m an impatient person and just want to get right to the knitting! 3. When you wet block a swatch, do you let the fiber lay flat on it own or do you need to coax it a bit to stretch and pin it in place. I thought you could aggressively block finished projects but is that what you want to do with swatching? Thanks for all your amazing tips! Love your podcast. Share all your wisdom on how you swatch please 3. How can I modify a round neck to a v-neck? Specifically on your gorgeous Stonecrop Cardigan (and/or Pink Fizz). Or is the best option (if I don't want the round crewneck) to do a shawl collar like on Spark? Love your designs, and thank you for taking questions! 4. Hi there! Do you have any tips for picking yarns for Free Your Fade? The colors in the samples look cohesive while still having a lot of visual interest and I’d love a similar look!

That was a knit) and I LOVE it but I can't figure out how to wear it. Centered? To the side? Wrapped all the way around my head until only the tip of my nose peeks out?
