Prym has plastic knitting needles where the tips are slightly rounded. I especially liked their plastic DPNs since they have a very smooth texture, unlike their fixed circulars and crochet hooks, but I found myself feeling much more confident on bringing them to the airport since they're plastic and don't have pointy tips :) another great video, I hope you have a great trip(s)!

really gorgeous - see you later-Colorpop!=))

Elizabeth Zimmerman is the ultimate knitter without patterns. She wrote a number of books and she teaches you how to knit without a pattern. She's amazing. Her book Knitting Workshop is great for jumpers/sweaters.

You forgot the cafes 😂

смотрю каждое видео и жду мальтийскую пряжу в действии, ноу прешер)

Катя, свитер классный получился. И даже несмотря на то, что ты говоришь о каких-то ошибках, пластичность пряжи все скрывает и свитер на тебе выглядит прекрасно! Обожаю составы с хлопком и мериносом. На мой взгляд, это самый комфортный и приятный состав для подобных изделий.

Good job Kate! I think I may knit one.

We call it "waterkoud". 😉🐏

Hi Kate, I hadn't watched all of this video yet... What pattern is the sweater you are wearing? It looks beautiful!

hi Kate, I am Dutch and I live in Amsterdam and this video warms my heart 🥰

Катя, как обидно🙈. Я подобным образом ломала деревянные спицы от Lana Grossa. Да, спицы не дешевые и ждешь от них чего-то более серьезного. Я очень жду твой готовый кардиган. Мне кажется, он классный должен получиться, но возможно немного тяжелый учти это - он может еще немного потянуться вниз.

I wish I knew how to crochet! 😅 The dresses and bags looks stunning

Пока смотрела твое видео вязала квадраты крючком для пледа, и ты, хоп! И показываешь Бабушкин квадрат😁 Джемпер классный получился 💗

I'm planning to start learning to knit lace this spring, little by little, so I will be able to make a (hopefully more) poet design from sari nordlund. I think I ll start with the shawl 😊

I love sweater.

As always, a great video. Your tips are very useful, especially being prepared to give up a project if it is turning out to be less enjoyable than you expected.. Removing that stress is very good. I often have to spend a lot of time in bed or at least resting due to medical issues. This can make me feel like my life is pretty worthless... By knitting and crocheting for myself and others I am able to turn this potentially useless time into something productive, plus all the benefits of colour and tactile sensory thngs from the yarn. See you next time. Sally from Australia

This seems like so much work! Why not just use Ravelry? 🙂

G'day from Australia. a very interesting video. I think the Poetry Pullover is lovely, it was good for you to challenge yourself this way and it is going to be gorgeous It is such a pretty lace design. The group I knit with is very enamoured of Granny Square cardigans. one member especially has made several for her family members and does an amazing job in very vibrant colours. Don't forget - Granny Squares are not a 'pattern' as such, and can be put together any way you want....

Sew the ends as you go, or chrochet them in as you go. Best regards Susan, from Denmark 🇩🇰❤

Love your weekender! Love the color and it suites you well! I frogged it because it was also too big for me. Now I am knitting one size smaller… hopefully it suites me like it suites you! I love the pattern, but I still have doubts.

Thanks for sharing - I’ve been interested in Notion but wasn’t sure how to set it up to work for Knitting & yarn. This was helpful!

grreat video. i have been trying to find a replacement for Evernote ever since the price skyrocketed last year. I will try Notion, thank you

has anyone ever told you that you sound like björk

hahaha it's souvenir yarn to remember your first trip traveling alone to Malta! It'd be different if you had just purchased it online impulsively. So it doesn't count, right? 😉

Have you ever considered going on holidays with a knitting friend? 🤷‍♀️💭 just in case I know someone who can be a co-knitter companion 🙌🏻😎

🎉🎉🎉срочно смотрим

Love how you go about this! I don’t have any leftovers yet except a few tiny bits from my not-yet-finished Persian tiles blanket, and from my grandma. I’ve only started crocheting beginning of this year, so making a project bag and/or basket sounds so cool‘

Hi there, another great video. I keep my leftovers and wind them up on my ballwinder, knotting them together as I go. Like yarn with like. When I have enough, I hold it with at least 2 other yarns - one main colour (like white baby yarn) and one contrast - whatever I have. Maybe even 2 scrappy balls at times. And I make the baskets you showed. Also shopping type bags. I think the white baby yarn works like a 'carrier' yarn, supporting the knots, so I don't have to weave in all the ends. These have been very well recieved by friends and family, and admired when I go up the street. As for the cotton, I have been making 30cm squares to try out new stitches, both crochet and knit, and using them as wash cloths. This way I can try a new stitch but not get too bored by them if I don't have a big project in mind. I am not into socks much, cause I don't wear them myself. But these light yarns can also be used in bags, blankets and more. Never such a thing as 'unuseable' yarn

Hi Kate, great to see you again. As far as I can tell, a Slipover and a Vest are pretty much the same thing, just based on wherever the designer grew up and localised language. As to your slipover, and you say you are disappointed with it. It seems to fit you very well, however I dislike such open arm holes on me, and maybe that is what is annoying you. Also, I think it is too pale for you with a white Tshirt - perhaps a coloured shirt underneath it will look better in your eyes.? I am really liking the way that blanket is turning out. That seems to be such a better use for that yarn and it looks terrific. The lace sweater - congratulations on making a swatch!!! and I am glad it helped you sort out the pattern before you started the main thing. The colour is very nice and I look forward to seeing the final item.

Love the color of your Weekender and Tolsta Tee.

Hii there. Great video Ii really like your chatty style. It is really interesting to find out why you did not already attempt some of these, and I think with your small son around concentration on a tricky pattern would be difficult. Now he is growing up, perhaps you will get more Concentrated Knitting time. I really like the first one you showed, which you said you have the yarn for. It looks great in the photos. I look forward to seeing your progress. The Granny Square Cardigan is a great variation on this style. Several of my friends have been making plainer ones, and they all turn out terrific and unique. A great way to use left overs.

a great video. I think you were very sensible to abandon that sweater when you decided you no longer liked it. Frankly, I did not think the bobbles suited that yarn. It looks much better as a blanket, and now you can enjoy working it. I really like making blankets and do several every year - the only problem is deciding what to do with them... Actually I gift them to organisations that deal with crises - we have had a lot of flooding and some fires in our area in the last 5 months, so blankets are handy at times like that. Also, the homeless are always in need. Good for you being honest about a yarn you are not keen on - we don't have to like everything we try, but trying is good. Love the red sweater.

Приключение одной пряжи, которая стала пледом))) Какая классная установка: вяжу, что хочу. Надо позаимствовать у вас))

Love all your knits. What cotton did you use for your Tolsta tee?

NICE SOCKS!!!

my stash is in a bag.

Great Job Kate. I too enjoy these kind of videos. I think it is a good idea to look back and see what worked, what didn't and what you would like to retry. And it is lovely to have a record of what you have accomplished. The Cumulous Blouse is my favourite, because of the way it fits you. I am not a big fan of oversized jumpers, although I do have a couple... Lovely colour choices you make also.

Hi there from Australia great video, lots of good discussion behind each of your choices. I must say I do not understand the current popularity of mohair - I don't enjoy working with it and I do not enjoy wearing it. However, here in the Southern areas of Australia (Victoria) it generally does not get so intensely cold as in much of Europe and that might make a difference. I have been experimenting with stitches for the latter part of 2023, making washcloths in cotton both knit and crochet, as they are a good size to trial a stitch I have never used before and have a useful life as more than just a swatch. In my 60 years of yarn craft, I have found myself enjoying colour much more than texture when it comes to creating, and I mostly use very plain stitches in my work. I particularly like garter stitch and it's results. But the stitch trials have been fun. I also watch a lot of youtube videos about yarn in its many forms. One particular favourite genre is watching people confront and organise their stashes - the variety of yarn and the different ways people view it is such fun. I also enjoy watching people making garments from vintage patterns - some of which I knitted when they were first published. I look forward to more of your videos in 2024. Snippets of Real Life are also fun, as I will never have the opportunity to visit your part of the world in person. Regards, Sally

Your room looks amazing with the dark blue walls. I am making a scrap blanket.

Good morning Kate, here in Australia it is a bit hot for making sweaters. the snowflake presents for your son's teachers are terrific - a pretty gift of nothing too personal but a nice change from chocolates or soap. RE: the sparkly, knotty yarn. I would definitely stop as it is frustrating you so much. The knots are not worth the time and trouble. A pity you have such a large cone of that yarn but at least it will give you snowflakes for years to come... or bookmarks even. I doubt there is an easy way to deal with the issue, which may well be because the two threads are differenlty spun. If they had then been spun together I don't think there would be a problem. REgarding the red sweaater - I would add a K as that is the name people will recognise you for, and you won't have to answer lots of questions about having a 'different' lettern then they would expect. Enjoy your knitting and I do like your interesting videos.

Two balls of silk: a summer top tank. ❤

I love the idea of the crocheted snow flakes! I vote for a snowflake garland. That way you could hang it in front of a window or even wrap around the Christmas tree 🎄 I’m currently working on my An Italian Winter Shawl “samples” but this afternoon I mostly knit on my Sweet Shop Blanket with a couple of lovely mini skeins. As for myself, I’m always in the mood for some simple knitting!

so cute!

Way to go!🎉

Knitted hat sizes are so difficult to mail! 🙈 I currently have on my needles a hat for my daughter and I cannot tell (even after trying it on her) if the sizing is right 😅
