Are you looking for a bit of knitting help? If so you have come to the right place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you having problems with your knitting? Before you submit a question of your own, I recommend that you check out my frequently asked questions page.
Over the last four years Knitting Naturally has answered close to 700 questions submitted by visitors to the site, and a significant number of those questions were about the same or similar issues. So during a recent review of my site, I decided to merge all of the questions asked and answered over the last four years into a series of tutorials rather than keeping 700 plus very short pages covering the same topic.
To illustrate the point, no website truly needs 42 pages explaining what "k1 tbl" means!

Knitting Questions
Once you have checked the Frequently Asked Questions and Answered Questions pages satisfied yourself that the answer to your particular question is not there, you are invited submit your question using the form on the knitting questions page.
Whether it is a question about reading a pattern or how to actually do something, you can submit your question here. Your question will be reviewed as soon as I am able.
If your question is unique, a new page will be created to provide the answer.
If it is a unique question but one that I am not able to answer, your question will be moved to the Open Knitting Questions page and other visitors to the site will be invited to answer if they can.
Any requests for particular patterns will go straight to the Open Knitting Questions page.
If you want to be notified when a response to your question goes live on the site, please make sure that you provide an email address on the submission form.
It will not be made public and I do not share these email adresses with anyone. And it is highly unlikely that you will receive any emails from me, other that the notification emails generated by the system, unless I need to clarify something about your question.
And please no email addresses in the submission. This one is for your protection, not mine. If it is in the body of your submission and I miss it, then it will be on the live page and available to anyone who wants to scrape it off the site.
Sample questions:
| I added in second ball of yarn to baby blanket I am making. I did not knit with yarn from both balls for several stitches. I simply stopped one and left a tail and started with the next. I am at the end of the blanket and want to weave in these tails.
How should I do this to make as secure as possible and compensate for not knitting from both balls for several stitches? |
| What does PO and KO mean?
Row 1: PO (2, 4, 7) (work seed st on 6 sts, p3, k3, p3) 3 times, end with seed st on 6 sts, pO (2, 4, 7) I just can't find anything that tells what these two terms mean??? |
For the answers to these questions and any other that have been submitted go to the Knitting Questions page.
Help Out and Answer Someone Else's Question
Every now and then I get a question that I cannot answer, or an open question for the visitors to this site. Enough to justify a section on the site dedicated to this type of question.
If you can help out by responding to any of these knitting questions, all you need to do is to leave a comment on the relevant page.
