On the scarf hood, all I immediately saw was: knit the scarf lengthwise to the desired width, binding off to the point where the hood is desired to begin. Here is what I saw: using some scarf stitches and cast on more to make a hat shape with a steek bridge in the front. If you want the hood to have a neck (like a turtleneck, knit some rounds straight before adding the bridge for steeking for face opening), you can continue with the bind-off of the rest of the scarf.
That steeked edge could be finished with something decorative or a channel for cording to cinch around the face, possibly? Now my brain is running away with this…
Hi ladies! Thx for this podcast. I’m a huge fan of Staci’s x many years. 2 things:
To support your local bookstore, one can buy audiobooks on an app called Libro.fm. Check it out.
Perhaps this exists in one of your tutorials….. How does one skillfully remount an end stitch when it is dropped? I struggled with a couple of ” shark bites” while remounting end (selvage) stitches in garter on the adorable Fir Cardi, by OGE Knitwear Designs (which I highly recommend.)
Thank you, ladies,
Eileen ( Phila.)
I came to recommend Libro.fm too! Much better than supporting Amazon and you support local bookstores as well.
Hi, For the scarf question, I wonder if the Heelhead scarf might be similar to what your asker might be thinking of: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/heelhead-scarf
Thanks very much for a great podcast.
Downtime in the house? What is that? I’ve not experienced that yet.
There is a pattern for a hooded scarf, that I have added pockets to. It is called Adrienne’s Hoody Scarf Pattern by Laurie Weinsoft. The second time I made it, I made the hood tighter than written so it would stay in place easier.
I searched Ravelry for this pattern and couldn’t find anything. Do you have a link? Thank you!
I agree with the general idea that a hood could be a really big short row heel. It looks like Doreen found a pattern that is designed that way. A hood and a heel both need to turn a corner and conform to a round object (heel, head). Very cool that someone already worked out the details. 🙂
Thank you to everyone with their hood ideas. Lots of things to look at from suggestions here and on the Patreon page! Everyone is so nice! 🙂
Hi,
I still consider myself novice to knitting. In that I can do the stitches and relatively keep gauge (most of the time), but I make dumb choices for yarns and the frogging a sweater caught my eye on the podcast list. I have a sweater, nearly finished, but I think I’ll hate it. It’s “vodka lemonade” pattern (a lot of seed stitch!).
I should have picked a solid color (mine is variegated) and do the beautiful pattern is lost.
The sleeves are too wide at the wrist, and it overall should have been one size up (or I ‘grew’ while making it!)
Never been washed/blocked. Could/should I frog that and use that yarn for something else?
And where do I learn about sizing sweaters better before I make them?
Thanks,
Karen
P.s. should I be submitting these questions somewhere else? New to the podcast and loving it!!!!!!!!!
