i have no idea what that is. is it math related. am i bothering you. sorry.
Ffft no you’re not bothering me. Really with knitting everything is math-related. There are probably knitting superstars who think they don’t have to do math because they’re so good at evaluating yarn/needle/stitch/body size that they just sort of do it in their heads, but the rest of us have to, like, deal with numbers. Most knitting is in straight lines (or long spirals, if you’re doing a round object like a sweater or a sock or a hat), but when you have blocks of color that interrupt your knitting (like a design floating in the middle of a plain color), that needs a technique called intarsia, where you sort of attach the new color mid-row. [I am shit at intarsia so I probably explained it poorly.] For something that’s allover little blocks of different colors, it’s possible they started with one block, then attached the yarn for the new block to the side and knit from there, then did that with each successive block. I’ve heard that one called modular knitting. Never tried it tho.

backtothefiveanddime asked: Oh wise Auntie, can you recommend any online knitting tutorial videos? I've got brand new needles, brand new yarn and lots of ambition, but after several hours of trying I'm still confused about how to do even a basic knit stitch. :/
Greetings, Niblet! I found the vids at Knittinghelp to be super useful. Much more helpful than trying to work from a still picture. Good luck!
XOXO,
AG
