Top Comments of this video!! :3
I took a class once with a lady who designed Norwegian sweaters (I can't remember the company, but they sold yarn and finished sweaters) and she was asked about weaving in all those ends. She said she knots them off and leaves them. People fell off their chairs. HORROR!! But she said it's inside your sweater and nobody will see it. Shrug, lol! And if they're so close they DO see it, tell them to step back. So there you go! Why weave them in if NOT doing so doesn't negatively impact your finished structure? Great video!

The contiguous method is my favourite construction. What solved the rowing out issue for me was changing the way I purl. I'm a continental knitter, and use combination knitting when working stockinette flat; I knit continental and purl Russian/eastern. It makes a much more even fabric and there's no tension difference between that and knitting in the round.

I have been knitting for almost 60 years. That gauge change midstripe is a pretty big humility stitch that even if it cannot be seen across the room, you will always know it's there. I have come to consider "tinking" to be part of the process, as much as purling. I would take it back to a color change with the stripe. Top down sweaters knit continuously go back to before women were taught to read and write.š

Barbara Walker wrote Knitting from the Top in the 1970s and in it she explains various ways to knit that "contiguously " construction and a lot of other top down constructions, just to give her credit.

If you learn how to knit backwards (purl on the knit side without turning your work) youāre tension will remain the same as your knit stitches thatās what Iāve found. And I also found Iām faster and I like that I donāt have to turn my work every row. Thereās YouTube videos on knitting backwards itās a great technique to learn

I just heard Andrea Mowry give the advice to use combination knitting to solve the rowing out problem (wrap the purls from underneath vs from the top- which will twist the stitch and then knit the following row tbl to untwist it). This takes less yarn to make a purl stitch and should help the purl stitch be consistent with the size of the knit stitch. My tension is pretty consistent between flat and in the round, but she also recommends it to make ribbing neater so I may give that a try for ribbing.

I think the sleeve length on the tee is perfect, and I like the little rolled edges. Very nice.

Use Stephen West method to weave in ends as you go.. it is so easy and looks great š

Your tee looks fabulous. I love the contiguous style fit, but have the same issue with tension. My purl rows are definitely ālooserā. I use interchangeable needles with a size smaller tip on the end that will be the purling needle. Itās much easier that way then juggling two separate needles. I have also found I always need to go up a needle size for sleeves. Even when my entire garment s knit in the round, my sleeve gauge is always tighter.

Your little black tee turned out awesome. I can hardly wait to see both finished sweaters

The Tolsta tee by Rebecca Clow is very close to your little black tee: itās a raglan top down and there are also suggestions for stripes and an eyelet variation
But yours looks great and well done working it out yourself

I read something once about "rowing out." I think it was by Patty Lyons. She said when we purl, we will tend to pull the stitch on the left needle to work the yarn around and through. Anyway, this stretches that row out just enough to be noticeable. It is something I have paid attention to when I am purling, being careful not to stretch the leg of the knit stitch I am working into, and it has improved my knitting. It has also helped my row gauge. I am a continental knitter.

Thank you for this video. I have a suggestion on how to show black or dark colored items: place a piece of white paper or a white fabric underneath the item. That way we can actually see what you're trying to show.

That explains what happened to one of my top down sweaters or contiguous. I kept using the same needle size once it got to the round and wondered why it fit a little tighter than expected. Thanks for the tip. Your black tee is so cute ā¤

Knitting a small circumference can also tighten up your gauge. This most often shows up when knitting sleeves in the round. For that reason, Andrea Mowry almost always recommends going up a needle size on the sleeves.

You may want to try purling continental or Norwegian purl, to get the tension in your purl side that you need to tighten them up a bit. My tension knitting in the round, or back & forth K&P is so close to identical that it's not even an 1/8th of a stitch different. The only place I see a difference is if I am knitting/purling flat in stranded colorwork with a strand in each hand. I am still working on getting my English style purl to be identical to my English knit stitch, as well as my Continental knits & purls. I figure that 3 out of 4 isn't too bad. I have a video on the variation of purling that I use, which I've only seen a few people do. It's closest to the Norwegian purl, but it's kind of a hybrid between Norwegian purl & Portuguese purling. I know, weird. Anyway, it's the exact reverse of my continental style knits, so the length of the yarn moved around is the same whether I knit or purl. It's also very speedy. Not that speed is important. However, this type of purl movement makes me just as comfortable purling as knitting, and in some cases, such as bulky yarns it's actually more comfortable on my hands to purl than to knit. I know they will flag my post if I put a link in it. However, if you just go to my channel, there's a very short video called "thumb purling" that shows it. It's not a good quality video as I made it years ago, just to show one of our daughters how I purl. I learned from my Mom, and it wasn't until I put the video on YT that I'd ever heard or seen anyone else that purled the same way that we do. Hope that helps. Have a great day!

Love the little black t-shirt. Iām very very impressed
with the neckline, my favorite, and the cap sleeves.
How would you describe the details, especially theĀ
neckline so it can be duplicated by knitters?
This is honestly the first true t-shirt Iāve seen
hand knit anywhere. Letās call it groundbreaking!
Thank you!

Suzanne Bryan has an exercise for her Bootcamp students around this topic. The generalization is āthrowersā purl looser than they knit. āPickersā knit looser than they purl. Being a thrower, I have to consciously purl tighter to keep from having gutters in my Stockinette. The important thing here is to be aware that adjustments will be different if you are an English knitter or a Continental knitter. You will also find similar adjustments of needle size going from a color work yolk to a solid color lower part of the sweater.

Would totally purchase a pattern for the little black tee! š„ŗ even if it was for just your size. I donāt feel I have enough experience to improvise a knit just yet.

Hello!! Thank you for dropping in for today's podcast episode. I have lots to share here and I'm so grateful for you taking the time to check in. Enjoy! I mention a lot about the launch of the WNH Patreon this Friday and I'm so excited for that. One thing I forgot to mention here..and I'll undoubtedly mention it in an upcoming video...I will be publishing a Patreon Exclusive video where I share exactly what I did to produce the 'little black tee' that I show here. This series will be called "knit notes" and will be just that: my notes from my IMPROVISED knits. If this sounds like just your cup of tea, consider joining us on Patreon when it launches this Friday. ā¤ PS: I am aware of my butchering of the word 'contiguous'. I don't even know what I was saying..."conti-jus". I just don't know. š„“
