Post from Jaynaro on alternating skeins while knitting in the round.

I’m glad someone mentioned using the helix method for alternating skeins after last episode. I had been meaning to say something about it, but it slipped my mind.

I recently used this method for the first time, and I also found the explanations and video tutorials to be confusing. I think it’s just one of those things that you have to try for yourself and then it makes sense.

Here’s my attempt at an explanation:
Let’s say you decide you want to start alternating two skeins while working stockinette in the round.

Use a marker to keep track of the beginning of the round.
Starting at the beginning of the round with the skein you are already using (first skein), you knit half of the round.

Then you drop the yarn from the first skein, and start knitting with the second skein (leaving a tail to weave in later) to finish that round. Continue knitting the next round with skein two until you reach where you dropped the yarn from the first skein.

Then drop the yarn from the second skein and pick up yarn from the first skein, knit until you reach where you dropped the yarn from the second skein.

Repeat alternating at this mid-round point until you no longer want to alternate skeins.

Hope that is somewhat helpful!

Thank you, Jaynaro!

Needle Notes



Impressionist Shawl on (queen) guest bed. Better photos to come!

Tips

When the stitches got crowded on the needle (clue 3), I used two interchangeable circulars like straight needles. This helped tremendously. Unfortunately, the Lykke cable did not hold up very well. Chiagoo cable worked great!
I should have thought ahead about weaving in the ends. I cut the yarn more frequently than the pattern indicated so there were a lot of them on the edge. Next time I do a shawl like this I will change the yarn after the side increases so you don’t have to cross over the YO when weaving in.
I just measured the finished shawl after washing. I did not stretch it to block. Still in shock to find that it is 10 feet (3 meters) along top edge and 15 feet (4.5 meters) along bottom edge.

See the back with two sleeves on the right? Yep. I did that!

3 blunders…Two of them really silly and one was a change of mind on the color.

I’m starting it for the 4th time now.

Nature Notes


Bluebells

My husband and I are hiking at least two times a week. We share some of the wild flowers and birds we have seen. The most exciting thing happening here at home is that we have Baltimore orioles coming regularly to our feeder of oranges and grape jelly. They seem to prefer the grape jelly.

Bob is an expert on roses so if you have questions, feel free to post in the Ravelry group and I’ll have him answer on the show.

I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
