Fairy Tale Knits Show

So I wanted to talk to you today about how it all works, the theme, how I’ve been inspired for the colors. Next episode I’ll talk to you about patterns that are great for advent calendars.

The theme is Villains!

The colors tie together and will be in an order that will fade. 11 are tie-dyed, 11 are speckle dyed, 2 are a mix.

How this works

Place your pre-order that open from Friday, Oct 12th until Oct 20th If you want to be the first to know about it, join my email list. The entire calendar will ship together to you and be to your house before Dec 1. Each day will have a package that you open. Advent calendar will include 24 minis and 1 full hank of yarn.

Colors will be set-up in order to fade if that’s how you’d like to work your project or projects.

Here's the link to the video that talks about Ching Shih, the pirate I mentioned.

9: My 10 Secrets to Knitting with Double Pointed Needles Sep 07, 2018

Show notes

The first time you use them, use them with something like the decreases on a hat
Cast on all on 1 needle and then move your stitches.
Use wooden needles when you are starting to learn dpn’s
Work with 5 needles, not 4
Use small stitch markers
When starting with dpn, start your round in the middle of the needle
1. So if you have 40 stitches total, and you’re of course working with 5 needles, you’ll have 5 stitches on needle 1, 10 on needles 2-4, and 5 on needle 5, when you go to join you’ll knit the stitches from needle 1 to needle 5, joining it, but since it’s not where needles meet, you’ll get less of a gap.
When you come to the end of a needle, snug up the first few stitches on the new one.
Rotate your stitches are you work around. So when you get to the end of a needle instead directly moving to the next one, knit at least 1 or 2 stitches onto the needle you just filled
Watch when starting a new needle how you are holding it in relation to your live stitches. Keep the new stitches as close to the old ones as possible.
Most of all take your time!
