I'll Knit If I Want To: Episode 35 (With a special guest!)

Описание: Welcome to I’ll Knit If I want To! I asked y’all to send in some of your questions (from everything from fiber arts, to designing and on!) so I could put together a little video for y’all every Friday doing my best to answer your questions!

In this week’s episode we cover:

1. Hi Andrea, thanks so much for doing these! I’m 41, been knitting casually forever but there’s always more to learn! I too live in a big old house in the north (Vermont) and we are always snuggled in wool. I am inspired by you to get out my wheel again when the kids are a little older! So the question: My daughter is 5. She’s almost ready to learn to knit I think. But she’s left handed! Any tips on teaching lefties? And children in general? Thanks so much!

2. The underarms of my sweaters always end up with holes. When I stitch up the holes it looks awkward and messy. How do you get a nice, tight underarm?

3. The Weekender was my first sweater pattern, and while I love the sweater, I feel like I don't wear it as much as I would like to because of the boat neck. I mostly own t-shirts and I find that the neckline doesn't look very flattering on me because the t-shirt shows underneath. What recommendations do you have for styling a boat neck sweater? Do you prefer to wear them with certain tops? Thanks!

4. Peter - what do you think about when framing a photograph?

5. If you could only give one tip for better photos of knitwear, what would it be?

Bonus: styling the Golden Hour shawl
