เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 มิ.ย. 2023
Hi my name is Natalie and I created Knitting-a-GoGo to show you my process of knitting patterns from the 1960s and 1970s.
I have a huge passion for the fashion and music from those eras.
I'm currently working on some exciting knits and look forward to sharing more videos with you soon!

I knitted a 1960's Mary Quant Pattern with the Modern EMU Yarn!
In this video I show you my process for knitting the Mary Quant Cable Sweater that was published in 1966.
The original pattern was a collaboration between Mary Quant and EMU Yarns. The yarn company still exist and I was able to substitute the original EMU DK yarn recommendation with their modern day equivalent that knits to the exact same tension!
Here is a link to the EMU Yarns website for more information:

If you like the cubic needles I'm using in this video, I currently have the Knitpro Joy of Knitting Needle Set for sale in my Etsy shop:

I made a Knitting for Olive Puff Tee!
มุมมอง 131วันที่ผ่านมา
In this video I talk about knitting the Puff Tee from Knitting for Olive. I used their Silk Mohair Yarn that I purchased on a trip to London at Beautiful Knitters. I managed to take this knitting project with me on a holiday to Turkey as you'll see in the video. I note in the video I talk about knitting from the Top up...I actually meant bottom up. Also, near the end of the video I mention that...
Yarn shopping in London!

In April, I went to London and visited two beautiful yarn shops, Beautiful Knitters and Loop Knitting. In this video, I show you these two amazing yarn shops and also reveal all of the knitting goodies I purchased in each shop.

In this video I talk about hand knitting this sweater from a 1966 knitting pattern using the original Lister Bel Air Starspun yarn. The sweater was knitted on very small needles (as I explain in the video) so it certainly was a labour of love! Also in this video, I show you my preferred methods for sewing together hand knitted fabric that has wide knitted ribs in it. I also do a summary of what...

Check out my second part of the Icelandic Dress video where I show you my calculations and knitting process of making this Icelandic Dress that was originally a sweater and skirt in a 1960s Knitting Pattern.

Looks stunning 😍 Also love the pattern "book" that you showed. If only I had enough money and time.... 😄
@@skadiwolf1371 thank you for watching my video and taking the time to write a lovely comment 🤗 I’m pleased you like the top and the pattern book 😃
Fable knitwear has gorgeous puff sleeve patterns. Some of them are more dramatic than others. I can’t wait to get skilled enough to attempt one of her patterns. 😊
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for the Fable Knitwear recommendation….I had not heard of their patterns before. They are lovely 💕💕💕
Hello, I'm new to your channel and a relatively new TH-camr. Like you I have recently knitted with yarn from Knitting for Olive for the first time. I have knit the Late Summer Wrap, using the merino and silk mohair. When you have done the swatch for your merino and mohair, you might be interested to know that Knitting for Olive do free worldwide shipping on your first order. It is so much cheaper, even when you have paid the tax to purchase direct from them. I really like all of your purchases, I need a trip to London to do a yarn pilgrimage soon! How cute to have your own flock of sheep! I think that will be a really lovely thing to document on your channel
Thank you for the information that’s really good to know 😃 I didn’t even think to look at purchasing on their online shop as didn’t realise about their postage offer. I’m going to be uploading a new video this week about the Knitting for Olive Puff Tee I recently knitted and what I thought of it and how it looks knitted etc 🤗
So many pretties…love the virtual shopping and yarn petting 😊
Thank you 🤗 I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😃
Lovely to come along virtual shopping with you Natalie and seeing what you bought. Lots of great projects in the making there, look forward to seeing them in the future!
Thanks Carrie 🤗 I look forward to sharing more videos soon! xx
I don’t knit, but have recently (last five years) been indulging my love of textiles by taking up headwrapping, selecting and purchasing scarves. Those colors you selected are lovely! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience here. I learn so much from listening to, and not just watching, talented women artists like yourself. ❤from this GenX Adult Human Female in northern California!
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your kind comments 🤗 I’m pleased you like my colour choices 😃 I look forward to sharing some more videos soon of my knitting projects 💕💕💕
What a beautiful knit, Natalie! It suits you perfectly. Thanks so much for showing the construction too, I liked that method of setting the sleeves in. And I also loved the way the collar was knit separately and sewn in - so much easier than picking up stitches to knit the collar in place! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks Carrie, I’m pleased you enjoyed the video 🤗 I’m really enjoying this knitted sweater 💕💕💕
That yarn is gorgeous and so is the jumper. I love the more fitted and refined patterns from the past. What an interesting thing to find these yarns and patterns and make the classics.
Thank you for your kind comments and taking the time to watch this video 🤗 I’ve managed to find some more of this beautiful yarn in a different colour so will be knitting another 1960’s knitting pattern with it that I look forward to sharing 🧶🧶
That is a *fabulous* looking jumper! What an interesting project, with the vintage yarn and pattern. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video 🤗 I’m pleased you liked the Jumper 😃 I’ve been wearing it lots since I made it 🤩
The dress came out amazing, so vibrant. You did a brilliant job, well done, thankyou for sharing.
Thank you for your lovely comments 🤗 I’m pleased you enjoyed the video 😃
This is such a cute set. I love the 60s/70s colour scheme a lot. Thank you for sharing the detailed look. ❤
I’m pleased you enjoyed the video 🤗 they really are lovely needles to knit with 💕💕💕
Absolutely stunning dress, Natalie! 😍 I really felt for you when you said you would be unpicking the hem, been there! Thank you for sharing your solution, I always love to hear about the mechanics of knitting. Genius idea about adding an extra stitch for a circular cast on, I shall be using that technique from now on, thank you 😊
I think my face said it all when I talked about having to unpick it 😂 I’m pleased some of the techniques will help you in your knitting 🤗
Im new to your channel have been following you on instagram. Im looking forward to future intallments, you have a lovely relaxing way of presenting, a pleasure to watch while I knit. Happy click clacking Tara
Thank you for your lovely comments Tara 🤗 I’m hoping to get the next video uploaded next week 🧶🧶🧶
New subscriber! What a great project!! Can’t wait to see it completed. Your color choices are beautiful!
Thanks Cynthia for your lovely comments and thank you for subscribing to my channel 🤗 I’m looking forward to sharing the second video 😃
Love the colours you chose, Natalie. Interesting to hear about your successful search for the yarn, too. Look forward to part two 😊
Thanks Carrie 🤗 I’m looking forward to sharing the next video soon xx
Wool will start breaking down at 30 yrs….
That’s interesting to know 🤗 I’ve been wearing it lots over the winter and it’s been washing up well and hasn’t broken down yet which is great 😃
Wow! What an absolutely gorgeous knit, Natalie! Well worth all that hard work. The button you have had all that time sets the whole piece off perfectly. Stunning 😍
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video Carrie and for your kind comments 💕💕💕 I was so happy to have found the perfect button for this top in my stash! 😃 xx
Stunning top !! Much respect to you for finishing and my goodness it was worth the work 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. I’m pleased you like the top 🤗
Such a lovely top. Love the older English type of pattern instructions, I'm 65 and learnt this way finding the more modern written very difficult to follow. Love and always do that type of cast on 👍🏼 are you on instagram?
Thank you for your kind comment 🤗 It was the amazing puff sleeves that really drew me to knitting this gorgeous top. I also really like the instructions you used to get in the vintage patterns since I have spent a lot of my lifetime knitting from these types of patterns rather than modern ones. However, as a Knitwear designer, when writing for knitting magazines, I had to learn to write them in the standard modern way. It’s interesting how knitting a tension Square etc has changed over the years and I wonder what made it change from knitting a square over an inch for example, to then knitting it over 4 inches (or 10cm). My username on Instagram is @knittingagogo 🧶🧶🧶 I’m looking forward to uploading the second part of this video over the next few weeks 😊
I think it changed from 4 inches in the 70s with cm arriving, and also the arrival of more continental patterns. Also the new kid on the english block ... Rowan became a big trendsetter, with wonderful colours, textures and designer pattern along with other continental 'fancy' yarns and a different way of writing patterns. I wonder if others saw the trend change. 😊⚘️
That would make sense and thank you for the info 🤗
Just found you, i am from the uk, i have a podcast loopy loop, if you fancy hopping over. Love your dress its beautiful ❤
Thank you for watching and letting me know about your Podcast. I’ll check it out 🤗
You mentioned that maybe some 'itchyness' in older style wool, back in the days we would of worn a silk/satin/cotton lightweight vest 😅 just a thought to anyone if it does irritate xx
That’s interesting to know….I hadn’t thought of that 🤗
Stunning dress, so satisfying all the chevrons, alot of work there and beautiful colour. 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for your kind comments and taking the time to watch my video. I really enjoyed knitting this dress 🤗
Absolutely beautiful dress, Natalie! I really like the saddle sleeves, great feature. I also enjoyed your analysis of the knit at the end, very informative. Thanks for filming it all!
I’m pleased you enjoyed it 🤗 there will be some more projects uploaded soon 😊
Really enjoyed that, thanks Natalie. The back piece is looking beautiful, love your yarn colour choice.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it Carrie 😊 I’m glad you like the colour choice 🤗
Lovely, informative first video. Hope to watch more in the future. Have you seen vintage vixen blog she's into the 1960/70s? No relation. But may be of interest to you?
Thank you for your kind comments Joanne 🤗 I’m looking forward to sharing further videos soon! I’ll check out Vintage Vixen’s blog 👍
The top is beautiful! I really enjoyed watching the process, thank you for sharing it.
