Welcome to the Knitting Expat Podcast - FAQ's edition. 

I get asked alot of questions that are the same or cover similar topics, so I thought to make things easier for you all I would do a stand alone FAQ's video. This way you can see / hear the answers to the questions I get asked about most often. These are listed here below:

1. Knitting While Travelling / taking knitting on a plane
2. How I make mini skeins – I show this in Episode 47 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwdJ3J2gN4o
3. How did I start designing – I talk about this in greater detail in Episode 8 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2CbT1NIA-k
4. How did we come to live in the Middle East?
5. How to get a matching pair of socks? I talk about how to do this with self striping yarn and how this is not possible with variegated yarns.
6. What ball winder do I use?
7. How do I knit swatches in the round?
8. How do I photograph my knits when I wear them?
9. How do I make my cosy memories blanket? – I have some notes about this on my project page but I got into more detail in this video.
10.  How do I knit and purl? – see separate video I uploaded for that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRBn-l65kIs
11. How do I knit my socks? What is my favourite sock pattern?
