Short Rows in the round can be tricky to learn how to finish. Here’s my tutorial that shows how to work the remaining double stitches, so your shaping is seamless, and your knitting stays smooth. #knitsky

YouTube video by Carol Feller The Best Transitional Handknits | Stolen Stitches Vlog Ep. 9

Yesterday I was talking about transitional knits, and it reminded me of this vlog where I shared my favourite versatile handknit pattern: youtu.be/pWieiKpHOqk

Let her bag with a striped hand-knot cardigan inside, two skeins of yarn and an old book.

What does March make you think of #knitsky?

This time of year, I always start thinking about transitional knits... bright colours, versatile layers, sports weight yarn. Like this! 👀

A round wooden table with a cup of tea sat on it, an old book, and several brown buttons. Next to the table is a small peek at a new knitting pattern that has stripes, and a pile of green and blue yarn skeins.

#Knitsky my love affair with short row colourwork continues… 

🗓️ Save the date: March 5th 

You’ve knit before… But never like this!

A white cup and saucer with pink flowers on it, filled with tea, sat on a wooden table in front of a pile of yarn skeins.

I’m curled up with a cuppa and my current project, there’s something about weekend knitting that just hits differently #knitsky. 

Finish the sentence: “My knitting is best enjoyed with _______.” 

Tea, chocolate, or a comfy sofa? Let us know!

Beautiful work!

How do I convert a top-down garment to bottom-up? Or vice-versa!In today's 'Ask A Knitter' tutorial, Carol compares top-down and bottom-up garment constructi... Ask A Knitter Ep.15 | Top-Down VS Bottom-Up (Which should I choose to knit?) #askaknitter

With all this sweater talk, I wanted to share my tutorial where I chat through how to convert a top-down garment to bottom-up (and vice versa). 

It’s handy if you like experimenting with construction:

There’s something about a cosy, oversized cardigan that just screams March in Ireland to me!

By the way, I recently shared a free YouTube course for this pattern, check it out here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

You too! 🥰

Two wound balls of yarn sat on top of a book which is sat on a wooden stool with black metal legs in front of a white wall.

Right now, would you rather knit a pullover or a cardigan?

If you voted cardigan, you’re in luck! A brand-new cardigan is coming soon, with a sneaky teaser later this week for our newsletter subscribers: stolenstitches.com/pages/newsle...

If you go to your profile, when you scroll down slightly you will notice three lines appear on the top left of your profile. When you click the three lines a drop down menu should appear where you will see a heading ‘Saved’. 😊

Great tip!

You’re so welcome!

It’s one of my favourite hacks!

Holes in your sweater underarms? #knitsky

Here's the small adjustment I make that helps avoid holes and keeps your underarms snug and tidy.

It makes sense to me!

😂 I got the general idea!

I think that would work really well!

2️⃣ Fold instead of hang.
3️⃣ Tackle pilling early.

Thank you!!

#Knitsky I’m so excited to share that my Vesuvius Cowl has been reborn! 

The yarn I had previously knit it in has been discontinued so I thought I’d reknit it in my Nua Worsted yarn, shade ‘Lilac’: https://stolenstitches.com/products/vesuvius  

What do you think?

I really liked Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir and the whole series. It’s slightly older, 2019 for first.

How si fi?

What would you knit with them?

It’s #KnittingTipTuesday, and after all the travelling I did last week, this little trick was an absolute lifesaver!

That’s a Flox multi tool. Just google and you should find it local to you. It’s often out of stock though!
