Great job! Looking forward to class!!
Yipee! Sorry I missed “weaving in ends”. See you tomorrow!!
I’m sure Sheryl can teach you… ;)
The tutorial on increases was great! I’d never tried the YO increase, I just couldn’t believe it wouldn’t leave a hole - but it didn’t.
I love the tutorial format too, to the point with good instructions and the right amount of time.
Thanks for helping us all be better knitters!!
Regarding the Fagotting, Netting tutorial, do you have any patterns that feature this stitch? It might be cool to have a pattern (remember the brioche stitch?). Maybe a shawl or a “gulp” poncho?
Wait a minute, that’s YOUR job, right? I teach you the stitch, you go off and design your own. I’ll see what I can do though. For a lot of amazing brioche st stuff, take a look at Nancy Marchant’s http://www.briochestitch.com. Of course, there is my brioche hat & scarf set if you want to work on that one.
