Your Fjelltur Lite sweater is beautiful. Your knitting journey with this is remarkable and I admire how you didn’t give up. I wish I knew how to do the math to convert a bottom up to a top down sweater. Looking forward to your next video.
👏👏👏Standing ovation for your tenacity dealing with your Fjelltur Lite! It takes a a strong stomach to cut through you hard work. It turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing :)
I really like how you talk about your projects and how you walk us through the challenges and joyful parts of patterns. It is great to hear how you deal with them and how you progress and get more skills ☺️ thank you, I really enjoy your videos! ❤
Good to see you Charlotte. I have been thinking about you. WOW that jumper you are wearing turned out really nice. You are doing really well. I look forward to your next Vlog. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
I’m so glad I found your video! I’m working on the fjelltur lite sweater and haven’t attempted a bottom up knit before so it’s super helpful to keep an eye out for some of the issues you mentioned!
Hello Charlotte, de nouveau ravie de vous voir. Je vous ai écouté attentivement pendant vos expériences de refaire model de pull. J'adore le contenue de vos vidéo. A la prochaine🖐️🌹
Wow you did a lot of work in your sweater. I'm not sure if I would of stuck with it like you did. Very nice results, you deserve a pat on the back.😊 I am in the midst of converting a vintage sheep colorwork sweater from bottom up to top down and splitting it to make a cape.😊
Very interesting as always. 😀 I am not keen on bottom up anymore but wanted to knit a Carbeth cardigan so followed a technique from ‘Knittingthestash’ where you knit up to the underarms for the body only, then do a provisional cast on for the tops of the sleeves, giving you all the yoke stitches. After knitting the yoke you knit the sleeves downwards to the cuff. I also did a provisional cast on to begin with for the body so I could adjust length before doing the ribbing. The cutting sounds brave, I just snip 1 stitch and pull the thread out stitch by stitch, trimming the tail as I go. Takes longer, but maybe not in the end !😜😜 I am in NZ so (generally) using local wools so always having to modify/adapt and I enjoy that aspect of it.
What an amazing recovery on your Fjelltur, it’s so lovely! And the bobbles on your test knit are so even and shapely, I’ll definitely look at the crochet hook method. Thanks for a great episode
Wow! You are a trooper to persist with your sweater. It really is lovely, but not sure I could do it. I’m working on the Camaro pullover with my handspun, hand dyed yarn. I will be thinking of you while I work through the challenges I’m having. Great episode! Terry from Knutsford BC Canada
If you know that the yoke tends to be an inch (or 2" or whatever) short of comfortable because you're tall, you could take the colorwork motif and start it 1 or 2" farther up than the pattern calls for, since you really want that additional length to be between the armpit and the start of the colorwork. I have a really short torso, so I sometimes find that the yoke is an inch or two longer than I need. When I was knitting a yoke that had dip stitches in the yoke, the pattern had the dipstitches ending right at my bustline, like arrows pointing to my nipples. I put that project on hold, but I now know that I can skip a few rows in the yoke and end the dip stitches farther up. You seem to be really aware of proper fit, which makes me guess that you are a seamstress first. Most of the blogs I've seen show people who are really happy with the sweaters they knitted, but the sweaters look very oversized on them. Congratulations of rescuing your project and sticking with the kitchener stitch, which I'm sure took a very long time, considering the number of stitches on an in the round sweater where it goes around your body and upper arms!
You Are The Reason I Went To My Local Yarn Shop & Purchased Some Mohair In A Hot Pink (Dragonfruit) Color... I Have Absolutely No Shame About It's Impending Ferocity! Sometimes You Need A Statement Piece. 💞🥰🙌🥰💞 It's Taupe-ally YOU!
I Did A Two Color Bulky Brioche Scarf For My First Brioche Project... It Is MUCH Easier Than People Make It Seem. I'm Not Einstein 😂 You Just Need The Right Teacher, Or Many Visual Techniques Until One "clicks" 👌
I knit your first sweater as a test knit and found it super enjoyable and is probably one of my most worn sweaters. Very nice!
Love your podcasts! You are so talented with color choices and fitting your projects. The Sophie Scarf is simple elegance...love the white.
Oh thank you!
Totally I’m awe of your sweater surgery! The finish piece turned out beautifully, your hard work definitely paid off ❤
I was honestly surprised it worked. Lol

It is a great pattern to learn bottom-up knitting with!

So true! I am all for top down or even just knitting pieces!

You’re so brave. But you got a beautiful product…
Thank you 🤗
What do you call the Kitchener stitch?
Weird yarn mix. Possum is a cruel harvest method. Im Australian and I couldn't use possum even in a mix. The jumper looks great.....
Truthfully I didn’t know much about it until I spoke about it in another episode. The more you know.
Please learn to pronounce kitchen-er stitch, and look up lord Kitchener! Otherwise, great episode!
