In this week’s episode we cover:
1. Why do I always get a hole when I pick up wrap and turn stitches on the short rows in the round? I have tried and tried to solve this problem but cannot seem to get it right!
Final Short Row in the round tutorial:
• Resolving that final p...
2. Hello! I always love your videos and I especially find all of your tutorials really helpful, and I find myself referring to them on a regular basis. That being said, I was looking at knitting your Winter Honey shawl and was wondering if you were going to put out a tutorial for the cabling in that pattern? I absolutely love it, but don't have much experience with cabling, and don't feel like there are many videos out there for the type of cable you've chosen for that shawl. As always, thank you so much for your videos and gorgeous knits!

3. hi andrea! my question is about the tubular bind off. i love the look of it, but i always struggle with how tight it is, which confuses me because the internet tells me it's a fairly stretchy bind off. i am swatching for my (second!) traveler crew. i love my first, but it's a squeeze to get the bound-off edge of the neck over my head every time i wear it, and i would LOVE to avoid this for my second. i already am super cautious to bind off as loosely as i can while still keeping the bind off edge neat, and i go up 1-2 needle sizes as well. i'm wondering if you have any other tips to try to get a more stretchy bind off edge? or, do you know of a more stretchy bind off that is equally invisible? do i just have a giant head and this is a me problem without a solution? please help!
4. Hey Andrea! I started spinning in March and I love it! You talk about loving a good 3 ply in episode 174, and I was wondering do you do a 3 ply with fractal spinning? How do you separate your braid for that? I want to try fractal spinning, but I also love a 3 ply to hide my inconsistencies, hope you have some advice.
Love from Norway
5. Have knitted your Douglas Cardi and absolutely love ii and wear it almost 16 hours a day in the winter time. Am wanting to make another but would like make it in the round and steek it. Would this be possible? Any hiccups I'd need to be aware of? I absolutely need another Douglas Cardi in my life as this one will be thread bare in a year or two.
Today I am wearing Velvet Mirror

Happy Birthday, Andrea!!! Love your cowl, love all of your vids and your time. We all really appreciate it! Sending aloha and light from Hawaii!
psst... you forgot May - it is over 120 days now. Happy to say I have been knitting every single one of them for at least 15 minutes!
Happy, happy, birthday, Andrea!! Thank you for gifting us for your birthday. YOU are our true gift! You are beautiful inside and out and I just love your positivity, sense of humor, and genuineness (is that a word?) You are the highlight of my week! Love and hugs to you!
Elizabeth Zimmerman's Sewn Bind Off is a great option! I've used both that and a tubular bind off for different projects. It looks great, has some stretch to it, and I feel bounces back to retain it's original shape pretty well, more than you'd expect. AND...it's a good option for folks that avoid a tubular for, like you said, it's "finickiness".
I like the stem stitch bind off. It's a match to the long-tail cast on. Not everyone likes that look, but I really enjoy it and it's very stretchy. It is a sewn BO, but it's very simple with only two steps.
Happy Birthday!!! Thanks you for the generous discount, Andrea. Your cowl is lovely.
Happy Birthday! I’ve only been knitting since April but am on my third pattern of yours - I love your clear instructions and all the encouragement you give in your podcasts and tutorials. I can hear you cheering me on when I try a new technique or get nervous 😊 best wishes from Yorkshire
Happy Birthday! Today is my daughter's birthday too. And she is a sweetie, just like you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA, thank you so much for the discount now I 'm going shopping 😊. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Birthday Andrea! I’ve been wanting to try some of your patterns for a while. Decided what better time to do so than today!! Thank you for the huge discount you are offering us. As a newsletter subscriber, I feel that this is a great birthday gift for me…and it’s not even my birthday! 🥳 😂 I can’t wait to get to these patterns that are in my queue. Happy celebrations! ❤
Happy birthday Andrea. Hope that you have an amazing day.
I hope your birthday was as special as as you are! Thank you for the pattern sale. 💜💙
Happy Birthday! Thank you for all you do, I learn so much from your videos! Happy Creating!
i saw somewhere that 'sewn BO' means just kitchnering whereas 'tubular BO' means adding 2 set-up rounds, then kitchnering. but many ppl seem to use the 2 terms interchangably, yes? idk, but sewn is def my favorite BO.
on one swtr w/ 1x1 ribs, i did one sleeve by separating the sts onto 2 needles and the other the way you do in one of your very useful videos; separating the sts was easier for me and looked a little straighter, but that's just me.
anyway, thx for your continuing help [yay friday mornings!], and have a lovely birthday!
🎉❤ Happy Birthday 🎁 Andrea! Thank you for this wonderful gift to celebrate you! I have a list of patterns on my dream knitting list! Thank you 😊

HBD Andrea 🥳🥳🥳I hope you have an amazing Birthday! Also thank you for the great discount on your patterns! I got a couple on Ravelry and I cannot wait to knit them up! You've inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and I just ordered my very first drop spindle for spinning my own fiber. I cannot wait to give it a try! Thank you for all the great info you share with us in your videos and your newsletter.

Happy birthday! Thanks for another terrific video! My fav bindoff is Elizabeth Zimmerman’s sewn bindoff. Very stretchy, no flaring edge. It makes a very neat edge and just kind of disappears. I use it for everything I make.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Andrea! And thank you so much for the discount!
Happy Birthday!! Thank you for the generous discount. I hope you have a wonderful day.

As for a stretchy bin off: try the Chinese Waitress Bin-off with a crochet hook. I love the look and stretchyness for socks or sweaters.

Happy Birthday!! Several weeks ago I sent an email for knitting help with my traveler shell. I'm so glad I did because your tech editor helped me understand my issue, and gave clear, step by step instructions. It is finished and blocked. I Love my traveler shell! Thank you so much for helping.❤

I find if I omit any set up rows for the tubular bind off, it comes out more stretchy.

I'm about to drop my daughter off to college in 2 weeks. As you can imagine, funds are tight at the moment, and I've been sad about not purchasing yarn. I'm thrilled to take advantage of your discount. It's a great compromise and feasible for life's situations such as my current one. Or perhaps I'm just feeding my crafting monster a cooking instead of the whole cake.
Hope you have a great day, and as always, thank you for everything.
Happy Birthday, Andrea! Wishing you blessings of good health, joy and peace of mind in this upcoming year. Thank you for your generosity with this substantial discount.
Happy birthday Andrea, hope the new journey around the sun brings you lots of joy, health and lots of of success in everything you do. Thanks for the discount, I just add 3 more of your patterns to my library and I can’t wait to start on some of them
