I work in the round whenever possible. Here's a tip for sweater knitting when you are using place markers: Use a different colored marker for the beginning of your round (i.e. if you have 4 markers where sleeves meet front and back). It makes it easy to see where the beginning/end of each round is. Fran

I found the article to be helpful, but I need more information...Could you give an example turning a "straight pattern" into a circular one including calculations and with pictures for each diagram and step?

Thank you.

I would like to know how to end working in the round on the neck of a sweater so that you can't tell where the beginning is?

thanks

Is it possible for someone to explain how to handle the sleeve openings when doing something in the round. I've got a lovely stitch pattern that I would like to try for a sweater however, I'm unsure about what happens when I get to the sleeve openings. HELP. Thanks..

I love knitting in the round and do so whenever possible, sometimes even when in doubt. I once made my new baby a cardigan in the round. It was so much easier, it had a lot of color work. When I was done with the tube I simply put it on my sewing machine and sewed a couple of stips and then cut. My worst fear happened when I cut too close. So I put it back on the sewing machine and fixed it. No big deal. What a time saver. Shireen

My thanks to those of you who posted links to online chart generators! They're awesome finds!

I usually chart in Word, in table format, but Excel would be a good option, too.

Thanks for the idea.

It's strange - sometimes I prefer reading a chart, while other times I prefer having it in words. I usually have both on hand, if possible, and then I can go back and forth as the need arises.

I convert nearly all my patterns to "in the round" knitting, especially if you see "work front as same as back to {whatever point}" Then you can split it off and eliminate a couple of seams (and have them both the same length as a bonus)

I love the William St socks, but I can't find this yarn available ANYWHERE in 6-ply. Can anyone help me?

I also want to thank you for sharing your ideas. I am a "converted knitter-in-the-round" ever since my fronts and backs did not match on a cotton summer top! To prevent my gauge from being drastically different in sleeves and socks I work them at the same time (a few rows on one; a few rows on the other).

haha Cathy M, thank you for your reply, i guess sandi was speaking about reversing the "wrong side" of a flat pattern and i understood it first that she was saying to reverse absolutely everything! how silly of me, lol

Is there a difference between "balancing" stitches and "edge" stitches? I am not understanding the second step in the conversion from flat to round.
