Let’s Move on to the V-Neck
October 16th, 2009
We switch to the front and start knitting a V-neck. This is Part 1 of 3. We’ll return to the sweater back after we’ve finished the front.
Armholes–Part 2

We’ll finish up the armholes in this next video.
Now the Armholes–Part 1
May 10th, 2009
Armholes are next. I have you start on the back of the sweater, where we’ll concentrate on the armholes. We leave the back unfinished–we’ll return after the front is finished. That way we can take one new technique at a time.
Keep Knitting!

Here is part 2 of Knitting the Sweater Body. I show you the actual knitting on Niki’s sweater.
Alright, already! We Finally Get to Start Knitting Our Sweater.
January 27th, 2009
Ok, you’ve taken your measurements, you’ve knit not one, but two different swatches, blocked them, waited patiently for them to dry, then figured your gauge. Your reward is that you finally get to start knitting your sweater. Wait, you’re asking–don’t I need to figure it all out before I start? No–this can be used as a sort of design-as-you-go knitting project. A big chunk of the sweater is the body (almost half), and it’s basically a tube (we’ll get into waist shaping on your next sweater. You’ll be surprised how soon you’ll get through this one). So here is Part 1:
Knitting a Flat Swatch and Blocking
January 25th, 2009
This is Part 2 on swatches and stitch gauge. In this video I knit a flat swatch and block both swatches. Knowing your stitch gauge is critical to the success of your sweater, whether you’re designing it yourself or using someone else’s pattern. Ask around–the more experienced the knitter, the bigger the swatch they’ll knit. Think of the time you spend knitting a swatch as an investment in the success of your sweater.
Stitch Gauge and Knitting a Circular Swatch
January 25th, 2009
After you’ve taken your measurements, you need to know your stitch gauge. The sweater I demonstrate uses both circular and flat knitting, so I demonstrate both kinds of swatches, both flat and circular–your stitch gauges may be different depending on which type of knitting you use. This is Part 1, Knitting a Circular Swatch. In Part 2 I demonstrate a flat swatch and blocking.
Taking Measurements

Taking Measurements: I show you the necessary measurements for designing your sweater. You may find my Measurement Form (pdf) handy for jotting down measurements.
