I'm still in love with this! So elegant and beautiful, and the shoulder pad adds so much! I'd love to join the test knit - I’ve already filled out the form😊
Wow, thank you so so much 🥰 I can’t wait for this test knit 🤩
It's so cool!!
Thank you!!! 🔥
Your jacket is so beautiful you can be proud I also give you and A
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
I am loving it! If I am advanced enough or if ist ok to join as a beginner-medium-knitter, I m glad to testknitt it! But: I could not sing. up for an e-mail-call-up as I have no instagram...how does it work? Love out!! Bravo, you can be so proud!!
I’m glad you like it and are interested in test knitting! 🤩 about the jacket: I will mark it as an advanced pattern. It is not THAT difficult, but you have to be comfortable with managing 3 strands of yarn, following multiple steps at a time (ex. for the yoke shaping, increasing for the arm and increasing for the neckline at the same time). However, I try to make my patterns detailed enough, so that everyone who is ambitious, even at lower skill level, can try it ☺️ so if you are up for the challenge - go for it!
Now about the test knits: I ask for instagram handle for two things. I usually have more test knit applications than there will be testers, so Instagram and Ravelry profiles really help me choose test knitters. Second, more important: during test knitting period there is an instagram group chat, to which all test knitters are added, they notify me about the problems or ask questions, I notify them about pattern corrections and so on. So having Instagram it is almost necessary 😏 But for the time being, you can sign up and just write that you don’t have Instagram and will see about that in the future when you apply for the jacket or any other design ☺️
Interesting to see the proces of designing a knit. I always expected that it would be a drawing first with all the colours already figured out
Thanks for watching!😊 For me it’s sometimes like that, but not always. Generally speaking color is not that important for me, because people who knit my patterns will choose something else entirely and freestyle with color however they want! More important is the idea of a knit itself and construction of the garment. And if I feel strongly about the idea that I have, I go in to designing even if not all the details are figured upfront 😊 Most of the time I don’t know the finishings unless it’s a design feature 😅
@@lowkeyboldknitreally interesting. I wish I was that creative 😊
oh myyy!! The jacket looks amazing on you :)) Best of luck finding test knitters, i'm sure they will be queueing in the line to start ;)) I have to admit, it is not exactly my cup of jam ( maybe i'm too old?? :DD) , but in general it looks very solid, very universal to take it everywhere :) The name for jacket suit it really well ;))
Thank you 🥰 and oh, I know it’s not for everyone, as most of my designs 😅 but how boring that would be if everyone liked the same thing or every designer tried to make something “for everyone” ? 😄
@ oh, your designs are great! I wore Gelma blouse numerous times this summer, that one was totally my cup! 😍 maybe, if any modifications would be allowed i would give it a try too! 😍 we can chat about this later in the future i guess 😍 congrats once again, and happy winter festives! 🎄
@@yarn.engineer Thank you! So great that you wear it, that’s the best “compliment” for me 🥰 and about the jacket - SURE!!! 🤩 Merry Christmas to you too!🎄
this looks so darn GOOD!!!!! love it
Thank youuu 🔥 I’m so glad!
Congratulations! It looks fire! 🔥 Love the shoulders pad addition.
Thank you 🥰 I love them too 🤩
@@lowkeyboldknit I can already imagine making it with a mix of pink, beige and yellow yarn or something 🥰
@@Elophee Uugh, that would be so pretty! And quite a bit different from my version! 🤩
This looks amazing! Truly a masterpiece, you did a great job! Hope grading a pattern won’t be too much of a nightmare 🙃
@@septemberinrain Thank you so much, I’m so happy you loved the jacket 🥰 It will be a little bit of a nightmare, but I’ll get through it, I always do 😅
Hi! It wasn’t until editing that I realised I hadn’t revealed the name of this design! Drumroll, please... introducing the Soigné Jacket! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the jacket-does it live up to its name? 😏 Wishing you all Happy Holidays! 🎄
A French name is perfect but I am biased 😅🇫🇷
@ I think it’s even better if you think it’s great 😅
Smagu matyti daugiau lietuvių mezgant. Galvojau mes baigiame išnykti ❤😂
😊 Ar esat buvęs Mezgėjų brunch'e, kurie organizuojami Vilniuje? Jeigu ne, tai labai rekomenduoju atvykti! Pamatysit - mes ne nykstam, o tiesiog KLESTIM 🔥🤩
@ negyvenu lieuvoje :( bet kada tikrai butu smagu prisijungti
I loooove this! Can't wait for the pattern <3 <3 <3
Thank you!🥰 There will also be a test knit call 😉🤩
@@lowkeyboldknit If I have capacity and time for it I would be happy! Where is the test knit call exactly?
@@cybermücke Cool ☺I will post on Instagram (@lowkeyboldknit) about that! Also you can sign up to my test knitters mailing list! You would get an email whenever there's is a test knit call from me: forms.gle/YwXJqjKrJ5tiZKCe6
@@lowkeyboldknit For now I do not remember my instagram-i have a webpage for my art-works, but I am not so active in other channels. Could not sign up-i trie another day. Edit: also i m not used to read american/ english instructions. I am an Berlin-based artist and only knitting to relax-i m not a hight-end-ingeneer ( yet ) like some knitters...;) But its quiet appealing!
following because you also do the neckline as soon as possible. loved the video!
Haha, that's cool 😄 Thank youu☺
I love the color combination!! can't wait for the pattern ! 😁
Thank you so much! Please, please apply for the test knit when it's open if you wish to knit this piece ☺
This jacket is amazing, please release the pattern! I'm worried about the tiny gauge but it is so beautiful so would be worth it :'D
I will! There will be a test knit call first, so you are very welcome to apply when it's open! ☺️
Loving you vlogs, your jacket is going to be amazing. I'm a sewing pattern maker/youtuber, but am working on adding knitting patterns onto my Etsy page too. It's really cool to see your process, knitting patterns are vastly different from sewing pattern. Would love to see a little tour of your space, it looks so cute!
Wow, thank you so so much! I will definitely check out your channel☺️ I think you’ll see a but more of my space in the next vlog☺️ by the way, now I’m working the collar and I had to draft the shape of it on the fabric and pin it to the jacket, to understand what I need to knit 😅 so it would be great to have some sewing/pattern drafting knowledge as a knitwear designer 🙈
Absolutely love this jacket and I can’t wait for the pattern to drop
Thank you so much 🥰 There will also be a test knit call 😉
I'm absolutely in love with this jacket! It's so elegant. I've already started thinking about the colors I'd love to knit it in for myself. If you're looking for a tester, I'd be thrilled to volunteer! and if not, please update when the pattern will be available for purchase :)
Thank you so so much! 🥰I will definitely be looking for testers! Don't know when exactly but it very well might be this month and the test knit would start probably in January. I test call through Instagram, but probably will make some kind of announcement here too ☺ P.S. You can also sign up to test knitters mailing list, where you will get an email whenever there is a new design of mine that needs to be tested! forms.gle/fBhvkiqK3esQJGC28
@@lowkeyboldknit Thank you so much! 🥰 I’ve signed up for the test knitters mailing list and can’t wait to hear more about your upcoming designs. Looking forward to seeing your test call announcements on Instagram and here as well! 😊
I think you are so brave! 💪 Both for attempting such a complex project and also for sharing the process, I really enjoy this kind of content 😍 Also curious to hear more about your designer journey so far, what has it been like and how did you decide to take the leap to quit your job? Looking forward to more episodes!
@@elvatretton-juliaohm Thank you so much 🥹 I really appreciate comments like this, because that’s what my main intention behind these videos are, to show the journey and all that goes in to running a creative small business of this kind ☺️ I’m sure you will see more and more of me, my story and personality once I get more and more comfortable doing videos, because THAT is all very new to me too 😄
@lowkeyboldknit I can really understand that! You're already doing great so I'm sure you will figure everything out with time 😊 I'm also an aspiring knitwear designer but a lot earlier in my journey than you so it's super interesting to follow someone who's a few steps ahead 😊
@@elvatretton-juliaohm That's so cool! Can I find you somewhere online to see what you're up to? Instagram, Ravelry? 😊
wow all of them look so stylish! stunning!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰 By the way, all the patterns are available or Ravelry and Etsy ☺️
That bralette is amazing!!
Thank you 🥹
Good luck on your journey!
@@marGOOOOOOOOOO 🥰 Thank you! Luck is not everything but it definitely helps 🙈
these look great! keep on going!
Thank you so much ☺️❤️
Super cool! What materials have you used for the shorts?
Thanks! ☺️ I used Belle (main) and Cotton Light (stripes) by Drops ☺️
Love the jacket, it is so unique and bold! Keep going, you're doing great ✨ ( i'm already thinking of color set i would use to make it 🤠)
Wow, thank you so so much for your kind words! 🥰Keep in mind that I will be looking for testers in the future 😉
@ i’ll be sooo happy to do it 🥰
I'm so in love with the jacket!!! Is the final pattern gonna have this kind of very oversized shoulder?
Thank you, I’m glad you love it! ❤️ I think so, because that’s how I structured it in relation to the width of the sleeve and the body and that was the initial idea anyways ☺️
You are so talented! I just watched your vlogs and they are very informative ❤
Thank you, dear 🥰

@@sarasyarndiary I’m so happy someone finds this interesting ☺️ Next vlog will be final🤩
It looks super stylish! It would become my favourite jacket so fast. Well done for trusting the fit would get better and better as you continue.
Thank you ❤️ now the best part awaits - band and collar, where it finally will all come together ☺️
I'm really excited to see how the jacket will turn out!
