Hi to all. I've just joined and am looking forward to receiving my book in the mail. I have always loved Norwegian knitting motifs and was so glad to see a...
It's in the book, but here's the nutshell: cut your yarns and thread the MC onto a needle, then thread it through all the stitches and pull tight. Then...
Terri, thank you for the reply and information. I just wasn't pleased with that look so I kitchenered the last stitches together. Like he toes of socks. ...
Since we're on the subject, when I do the run-the-yarn-through and pull to wrong side of the work, I get a little pouch on top. Those corner stitches get...
Hi Everyone - I kinda finished my first of a pair of selbu mittens (NHM#7) but it ended up too small. I've been finding lately that my stranded knitting has...
I'm making my mittens on size 3.0mm needles. I'm not sure what that is in American, maybe 2 1/2? I have large hands, I'm a large person in general, and mine...
If the stitches of your last few rows of the fingertip are loose, it will look sloppy when you try to finish it off. I almost always go down a needle size or...
Thanks, Terri, and perfect timing. I'm finishing the last thumb as we speak, for my DSO's 71st celebration tonight. He's already tried the first on on, and I...
To all those Pacific Northwetters out there, with their heads still above water... I'll be signing books and showing off the samples at Village Yarn & Tea this...
I finished my NHM #7 mittens. They were so much fun to knit, I plan to cast on another pair today. I used Knit Picks Palette in Cream and Merlot Heather. I...
Hey there, I know there was an errata for the thumb gusset (for the NHM 3) and I've printed that out, however, I don't think it addresses the problem I'm...
Carolyn you are absolutely correct, 32 sts chart with 36 sts on your needle... Guessing you'll have to wait for an additional correction before continuing.. ...
Thanks Debbie for getting back to me so quickly. Also, thanks for giving me hope that I'm not going crazy:) If someone knows of a way to correct this (without ...
... Carolyn, How 'bout a K2TOG at the sides of the thumb to reduce stitch count from 36 to the pattern 32? It will probably tighten up the high stress area at...
Steve, that sounds like a good idea, except you would need to do a K2Tog twice to reduce the number from 36 to 32...... My suggestion would be to ADD 2...
Steve and Debbie thank you for looking into this for me, both suggestions sound like they would help me out. However, if I am to understand correctly, I think ...
HOLD ON! You're counting the wrong thing. You are counting the palm as 17, the side stitches as 2, and the thumb chart, which is 15 sts. 17+15=32, +2=34. What...
Terri, I'd like to ask a rather stupid question, The thumb directions state to pick up stitches and the total will be 36 but yet you only show a total of 34 on...
Debbie Can you use two stitches on each side in a pattern like a stripe or and them to the pattern of the underside of the thumb. I see often number on...
The two extra stitches are picked up from the side of the thumb hole, and the instructions to pick them up are specified in the pattern text. I admit to my...
Terri, Thank you for addressing this. I greatly appreciate receiving your advice. I've lined up all the black columns and will add the extra palm stitches as...
Terri, I guess I am not reading the correct section in the book. Could you please be a little more specific, where does it tell you what to do with the extra...
Finally! The Christmas knitting is done! See "Steve L" folder under photos for my personalized NHM #10's. I dated them with this year and my daughter's birth...
Steve, they are both very impressive. Your knitting looks quite smooth...something I'm still working at... I like your idea of personalizing them. It looks...
