Mosaic Blanket SKEINS: Color A: 4 (6, 7) skeins of Purl Sohoโ€™s Worsted Twist; Color B: 6 (8, 10) skeins of Purl Sohoโ€™s Alpaca Pure SIZES: Baby (Crib, Throw) COLORS: Color A, Heirloom White + Color B, Super Pink Note...

After the first few rows this becomes nice and repetitive, but with enough interest to keep me engaged. Iโ€™m on my 2nd blanket and love it www.purlsoho.com/create/2015/...

A clear and relevant response, very much what I was thinking while watching the video myself. Thank you. However, I was rather distracted by that gorgeous hat! Whatโ€™s the pattern?

Schoppelwolle is lovely to work with, and I love that it comes with a โ€œhealth warningโ€: caution: knitting can be addictive ๐Ÿคฃ

You can get reflective thread that you hold together with the yarn and it makes fun reflective speckles. I use it on hats for kids

But do you have the right yarn? And do you have enough of it?

Good lighting is essential, when working in poor lighting my work gets closer and closer to my face. Propping up my elbows with cushions also helps relax my shoulders. Someone suggested a cushion on your lap so that the work isnโ€™t โ€œtoo far awayโ€ to start with ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ not tried that though

I thread the balls on to a spare circular needle, taking the one in use off and sliding it back into the other side, keeps them all in order. You could also pop them into individual bags and then thread and tie them together in order

Knitting math: cast on 75 stitches, knit 15 rows, unravel 10 times. Repeat.

Adding markers every 10/20 stitches has helped. And recounting again before adding the next one

If you have a long circular knitting needle, thread the unused colours on to it in order. That way they all turn at the same rate and you can slip the last one onto one side and pull the next off the other

Not that I want to detract from your work. Anything that prolongs the joy of a knitted object is well worth it ๐Ÿ’œ

Simple way to fix a hole in a knitted sweater - Invisible mending
YouTube video by Knitting Magic Simple way to fix a hole in a knitted sweater - Invisible mending

This is my favourite way to repair knitting: youtu.be/6U3IEUdddUY?.... I struggled to make the weaving method anything less than very obvious. But this duplicates stitches quickly and easily. I use locking markers to hold the stitches until I am ready to work them

A knit square comprised of colourful triangles jn a spiral with three balls of yarn threaded onto the cable of the circular needle

When knitting flat I also use cable needles. I thread the ball(s) not currently in use onto my cable so that they at least are out of the way and turn together with the work. A sample here when making Best of both whirls blanket by Wolly Wormhead
