FAQ’s
What do the videos on this site show?
The video tutorials demonstrate the steps in designing and knitting a woman’s pullover sweater with set-in sleeves. Topics include:
- Taking measurements
- Knitting a swatch and determining your stitch gauge
- Knitting the sweater body
- Shaping the armholes
- Knitting the v-neck
- How to shape the shoulders using short rows
- Back neck shaping & seaming shoulders with a three-needle bind off
- Knitting a picked-up, top-down sleeve
- Picking up and knitting the neckline ribbing & finishing the sweater
Later I hope to add more videos about designing other sweater styles.
I don’t know what some of those terms mean…short rows?
I demonstrate all of these techniques in the videos.
Can I learn to knit using these videos?
These videos are not intended to teach the novice how to knit. A great place to learn the basics online is at www.knittinghelp.com.
Do I need to be an expert knitter to do this?
I’m not. I’ve taught this method to beginning knitters who had not done much more than hats and scarves.
