    Thank you so much for your clear and concise explanation. I have been searching for an explanation on how to fix linen stitches and what that would look like if I have to ladder down. What does a slipped stitch look like… instead of pulling loops up every row, do I just skip one? Help!!

    Thanks for simple, easy to follow instructions. I’ll be trying these techniques using linen yarn.

    I am wondering if you have to be watchful of your tension with the floats in the back (or front) with slipped stitches? I have had some issues with this.

      You want to keep it loose. But with slipped stitches I usually keep the same tension as I do with my knitting.

    I love the way you de-mystify knitting techniques! As a beginner knitter I really appreciate the photo’s, simple explanations, and that chart makes me feel like maybe I could follow one! I will try the Bumble hat for a Christmas gift. Thank-you!

    Amazing! So jealous of your knitting capabilities! Have you ever thought of hosting live knitting tutorials??
