Here's one of two ways I show you how to finish the new I-Cord casing on Hoodola! I learned this folded edge from @roizman_knitt and realized it would make the slickest casing finish! Have you ever finished an edge like this? We made a detailed video showing you how I added an I-Cord casing to my Hoodola and two ways to attach it! The tutorial is linked in the pattern AND is up on my channel! 🔥Comment HOOD and I'll send you links (you can also find Cowltopus and Hoodola on my website and R...
Want to make a two-color Hoodola? Here's how I made mine with 2 skeins of Merino Alpaca I got from @fibermacgyver ! 🧶When I got to about 15% left of the first color, I started striping in the 2nd color by alternating 2 rows with each color. 🧶Once I started the cowl portion, I used just the second color. 🧶Since I wanted my cowl to be as long as possible, I worked from the inside of the ball to do the casing and I-Cord. 🧶When I was done with that, I used up the rest of the 2nd ball to mak...
Y'all, I'm finishing up a new design, and it has a VERY LONG (I'm scared to tell you the number of sts) attached I-Cord edging. BUT there's a new I-Cord tool in town, and I am whipping this edging out! When the pattern comes out, in April, we will make a real video showing you how I work it, but for now, can I just tell you my new tool is FIRE! The wood handle fits my hand perfectly! I'm lucky enough to have an affiliate link if you want to get yourself a tool! I'll put that in my stories!...

Here's the next step to the heel on Farola Boot Socks... after finishing the leg, you go back to the stitches held on the stitch saver, slide them onto your needles, and work that heel.

Does anyone else like to give their bobbles a little squeeze? Is it just me? Here's how I knit a bobble: Row 1 (RS): Into 1 stitch, [k1, yo] twice, k1 into the same stitch, turn work. Row 2 (WS): Purl 5, turn work. Row 3: Knit 5, turn work. Row 4: Purl 5, turn work, Row 5: K2tog, sl2 knitwise together, k1, pass 2 slipped sts over, then pass k2tog over. If you are adept at knitting backwards, you can skip turning your work... I think that should be a separate video! Want a deeper dive into...

This weekend, I went down to one of my favorite yarn stores, @fourpurls, and taught 4 classes. Three of those classes were brand spanking new, and I'd been working on them for months. I was nervous to launch new content, but my students were AMAZING. There were audible gasps at a few new tricks I pulled out of my hat that made all the hard work worth it. I always worry I'm going to overwhelm the newer knitters and underwhelm those who have been knitting with me for ages, but I think I hit ...
