Same yarn, same knitter. So why does the sweater fit loose and the sock hug? EASE!

Ease is finished measurement minus body measurement.
➕ Positive ease: bigger than you. Sweaters and cardigans.
➖ Negative ease: smaller than you. Knitting stretches, especially ribbing, so socks, hats and mitts hug and stay put.

Some patterns already include ease in their sizes and some don't. Always check YOUR body measurements first so there are no surprises.

We're going deeper on ease and picking your size in our Sheeptorial on Thursday, October 22! Want the guide now: https://www.sheepthrillsknitting.com/shop/c/p/Dawns-Handy-Reference-Guide-To-All-Things-Yarny-Twice-Sheared-Sheep-x98513510.htm

Why does one crochet piece drape while another fits snug? It's all about EASE.

Ease is finished measurement minus body measurement.
➕ Positive ease: bigger than you. Tops and cardigans.
➖ Negative ease: smaller than you. Use it sparingly in crochet, because our fabric doesn't stretch like knitting! Hats, cuffs and socks.

This Handy Yarn reference guide must ABSOLUTELY be in your yarn bag at all times!
Dawn's Handy Reference Guide to all things yarny is a treasure of information. Since we talked about the needles and hooks in past Crochet and Knit corners, today I talked about the needle and hook conversion chart ( on the very first page!).
I will be going through some of the pages and great info in this booklet. From yarn weights (and labels) to so much more valuable information. Check out the next video!
In the meantime, if you can't wait, you can get your copy right here:

Same two tapestry needles: but one job is the one knitters avoid.

Straight + blunt is the one I reach for to GRAFT: Kitchener, closing a sock toe seamlessly. You're following an exact stitch path, so you want it going straight where you aim it, blunt so it slides between the plies and never splits.

Curved is your weaving-in-ends needle: the bend dives in and scoops out in one motion, and in dense sock fabric it saves your wrist. Grafting a toe is the part everyone dreads, but it's just this needle and a rhythm, we go deep at our notions Sheeptorial.

Two tapestry needles, two totally different jobs. Straight + blunt is the one I reach for to JOIN: invisible seams, piecing a garment. It goes where you aim it and noses between the plies instead of splitting them. Curved is my weaving-in-ends needle: the bend dives into the fabric and scoops back out in one motion, no wrestling.

Straight-blunt to join, curved to weave. And the yarn always gets the final vote: loose splitty yarn? Stay blunt. Part 4 of our Tools & Notions series, and the last before our notions Sheeptorial!
