These can be anything including stitch counts, the corresponding written instructions, etc. see here: https://www.knitcompanion.com/ufaqs/row-reminders/ Question 2: for sure! He can add stitch markers around the repeat in the chart. This can be color matched to markers in his work either around the whole repeat area, or for each individual repeat. And optionally also color coordinated with a simple counter set to count from 1-x where x is the number of repeats.

I had more time to knit when I had my babies. I spent so much time sitting and holding them. Or standing and holding them. I mostly knit socks because it fit nicely around the the baby. Toddlers were harder.

i also like to have a different project for different situations. Socks for my purse to have when I'm out of the house. Something mindless for when I'm in zoom meetings so I don't have to look at it and no one knows what I'm doing. Something more fidgety for my armchair knitting. And I've got a sweater vest for my husband that's black and beautiful but I can't see unless the lighting is really good and I'm not tired. So that's just an ongoing project.

the library socks on Ravelry are really good for having flexible sizing because of the tibbing on the top of the foot

In doing dozens of Inspira Cowls, I have just with my most recent one discovered a way to make the purling in fairisle so much easier. the pattern has a few knit stitches in one yarn and then a few purl stitches with another yarn. I use Portuguese knitting for the purl yarn and continental for the knit stitches. When the time comes to knit, I put the purling yarn behind my needle, knit the stitches and then pull the yarn to the front again to purl. Wish I had discovered this trick years ago.

I have a couple of comments about the question of knitting fairisle with the floats on the outside. You can still knit it that way, don't have to purl. you will just be knitting across the back of the tube instead of the front. Like the tube would be at the front of your knitting instead of behind it and then just turn it inside out when you are done. See next comment.

I love DPNs. I learned on them but have migrated to all the other methods but sometimes I miss them and how well my tension is and I go back to them lol. It took me awhile to get used to flexi flips. I don't mind the magic loop but I love 2 circulars. The magic loop enables me 2 socks at a time.

She may have washed it with towels or other items that "fuzz" I'm betting the other items in the wash load are responsible? Shouldn't the knitted item be washed separately?

I love your videos and your very informative podcast, but parts of AK have been ravaged by fires all summer. I'm surprised you did not know that. Maybe it's just because I live in the PNW, but very devastating for AK
