Stacy-I watch every single one of your videos even if I already know the technique or have no intention of knitting the project (as in this poncho-because I’m working on the Moduloncho right now!) because I ALWAYS learn something! Thank you for all of the education, tips and tricks you provide. Today I learned new ways to use my interchangeables. Brilliant! You are always my very first “go-to”. 🙏
It's funny you should say that...I just started quilting, and I've made a few quilts kits from Fat Quarter Shop, and watched their video tutorials for the quilts. I was having your same experience! Even if I knew the technique, I'd watch all the way through, because I like watching how she does the simple things, and she throws out tips and tricks along the way that aren't really part of the tutorial. I'm glad you're enjoying my videos! :)
I would love to knit this but I am a size 2x or 3x depending on the pattern Is it possible to increase this pattern so I could use it? Ditto on the NEW. Hair style ...it looks great! So do you . You are a blessing to all of us. Nice to know you are in Texas too! Thanks for all the teaching. I have learned so much from you!
Gorgeous project! This may be a dumb question.....do left handed people knit the opposite of right handed? I am a left-handed crocheter, and I have to read crochet charts backwards.
Not a dumb question. :) Most knitters, both right and left handed, knit onto an empty needle in their right hand. Some lefties (and some righties, I suppose) knit onto an empty needle in their left hand, which is called "mirror knitting". It does require rethinking/rewriting some patterns when you're a mirror knitter.
You always inspire me! Your instructions are so informative and easy to understand. Question, with the orange example I love those needles. Can you share where there from and also the markers? Blessings till the next video..
Thank you! You'll always find information about everything you see in my video in the video description field, usually with links. Those needles are Knitter's Pride SmartStix: amzn.to/2RyhzcB
Hmm...in many patterns I would say yes. But in this pattern, the non-stretchy edge of the cast on, plus the picked up stitches, provides some structure and keeps the neckline from being too stretchy. You'll see in the video that picking up the stitches isn't difficult, you just pick up every one of the cast-on stitches. And if your count is off, you can just work a Make 1 increase (or two, or three) on the following row to get your stitch count correct, no problem.
Hi! I haven’t knit anything in a few years, and since then, psoriatic arthritis has settled into my hands, particularly the ring fingers on each of my hands. I don’t want to stop the needle arts. Would crocheting be easier, or should I stick to knitting? Thank you!
Hi. I enjoyed your podcast. I do want to make this. On ravelry I found the pattern. There no fee that I could find, but no indication that it is free. I added to my library but it loads only a small portion of info. What is your understanding? I found it on Kramer yarns got $6 but doesn’t go to my library. I bought yarn for it. You are right about the price but that is most likely related to high acrylic content. Thank you in advance for any clarity you can provide regarding the pattern.
Yes - this pattern is listed on Ravelry, so you can add it to your queue and notebook, but the pattern is not sold on Ravelry. The pattern is sold on the Kraemer website, as you discovered. The patterns in your Ravelry library (with the actual PDF document) are only patterns that are listed AND sold on Ravelry...patterns sold on other websites, like Kraemer, have to be saved in a different location, like your computer's hard drive or a cloud service.
I'm a lefty and knit from left to right. Can I just switch the number directions? And if so, do I just read the right and left leaning stitches as shown on the chart? Normally, using written instructions I just follow the whole pattern as written, just from left to right. Results have varied! ;-)
If you knit onto an empty needle in your right hand, that is the way I demonstrate here. If you knit onto an empty needle in your left hand (mirror knitting), this pattern is perfectly symmetrical, and shouldn't require any modifications.

Loving the new hairstyle, Staci!! You look even more beautiful and edgier than usual!
I would love to knit this but I am a size 2x or 3x depending on the pattern

This stitch would make a gorgeous blanket or throw!!! Love the color of the sample too! Thanks Staci!
Yes! finally! Thank you so much for sharing, I've been looking for one of these forever!
Hi staci how lovely....its a must make...the yarn is beautiful....thanks for sharing

Thank you for this tutorial. I would love to find a pattern for a cardigan with the same pattern used for this cape. Are you familiar with one?

Lovely as usual ❤💐
But can I use provisional cast on to avoid errors in the count espcially at the hood pick up step ?

Sorry, I can't answer that. Please ask your doctor or physical therapist.

Do you remember which cast on technique you used to start this project?
Just a regular long-tail cast-on.
