Hello again!
I wanted to say about the Brooklyn Tweed jumper. Tip:
Write the chart out and read it, it may take some time, but may help. I can read charts, but they aggravate me, so I tend to write charts out for myself and read them, and it’s faster for me to cover up with bookmark or blank paper as I finish row of knitting. If it’s to wide for you also, you can omit one if the pattern repeats in each side. That will give smaller size and look similar, and easier with less cabling as well.
I’m not sure if your use to cabling but so also filing the “U” type cable needles to be very much easie mr and faster as well.
I hope it gets better and maybe I’ve helped in some way 😁🤔😉🥰
That’s a great recommendation! Also I was meaning to try those type of needles…this might be the point I actually go and buy them…I am currently using the straight one but I found it falling off all the time
Hey! That's amazing! I think this is the first time I've ever won anything!😄 Thank you so much! I've actually just started down the knitting road, so the book will be so put to use by me! Coincidentally, I decided to learn to knit Norwegian style from Arne and Carlos, so it's perfect! I will email you:) Could you write your email for me? I didn't see it in your description:) Thanks!! Candy
Awwwww super happy it will be appreciated!!! Thanks so so much! Please send me a message with the address you wish to get the parcel shipped at irishfarmart@gmail.com !!!! Big hug
Congratulations, the colour of those yarns is stunning. 🙂
@@stormincat3323 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on your win.
Congratulations!
Delighted you enjoyed your Paddy's day here in the city. I do hope you get through the problem with the 'nightmare jumper', especially after all the work you have put into it.
That jumper will drive me mad! I am actually thinking of getting rid of it and just do something I am more comfortable with! Knitting should be relaxing not stressful right?
Thanx again for this podcast! Lovely music 😊
You are too kind! Happy you enjoyed it
You're doing great. I really love the stories about the inspiration behind your designs. Looks like you had great weather for your day out. Congratulations Candy!
Thanks so much!!! I really love getting inspired by something meaningful…it makes it more special
Please note: a garment made from 100 percent wool, superwash or not, does not need to be washed more than once or twice a year, even if you wear it nearly every day. Just air it over night and remove any stains as they occur.
That’s a very good recommendation! Thanks so much
Along the same lines, unless you get something on it cardigans and other over clothing rarely needs washing in general.
Sam, I buy my Irish knitting patterns from Aran knitting in Ireland. I found the instructions easy to follow
I must check it out! That Brooklyn tweed pattern is not really working for me
I feel your pain - I finally finished a “special request” from my youngest daughter - a black (black!!!) cabled sweater. There are a few mistakes that I left in - at least one in the double seed stitch sides and one in the hugs and kisses cable on the back. I don’t think I have ever been so relieved to see the end of a project!
No shame, I frogged it 😂couldn’t seriously cope with it! Well done to you! I don’t know how you managed to make a black one!!! Star ⭐️
Hi Sam, what about knitting Stephen West’s ‘Dustland Sweater’ next? Another good podcast. I can understand why you feel a bit deflated with your knitting, but, your knitting is really lovely and you are so creative. Did you see Katie Green Bean undo her knitted cable this week? Looking forward to the next podcast.
No!!! Haven’t seen Katie’s podcast yet! I am a big fan of the green been podcast!!! So inspiring! Also thanks for the pattern recommendation….I am going to have a look
What’s the name of the Brooklyn Tweed sweater? I’m not seeing it in your projects lol
It should be Svenson by Jared Flood
Thank you! Yours is looking amazing so far. I need to learn how to change the necks. Not a fan of the boatneck. But your work is looking great. You’re so sweet for giving out the prize and making a pattern to help the Ukrainian’s.
@@lingualunatic hopefully some small help can still be valuable
@@irishfarmart Your videos are very helpful and I always enjoy them. I look forward to watching more of you!
@@lingualunatic you are too kind 😘
I love the fact that you also speak about your mistakes during your learning process . It allows me to accept my mistakes during my knitting journey and not be too hard on myself
Oh I make so many mistakes…wouldn’t be fair not to mention them
Doing my little jig at the end🤣 love the way you say "gloves"; very Dublin!
Today is to be the hottest day and I'm sitting and knitting. No work til Wednesday😁 hope you're well!
I am basically melting 😂 looking forward for some milder days!! I tried to knit a bit but the yarn is sticking everywhere 😅
wow, what an unusual and awful experience you had with that Cascade yarn. I have never used it but I have used other superwash yarns and have had different issues, so now I dont use it for anything except, possibly socks
I completely understand! I ended up using up all my superwash but I don’t think I will buy more …too fussy to maintain
Sam, stop trying to torture yourself. Find a pattern that is better written. Aran patterns are really not as difficult if they are written properly. The person who told you it will get easier is correct, after doing the pattern maybe 2 times it will be intuitive. Please try again, aran is so fulfilling.
I really must! Need to find a good pattern though
Hi Sam, I enjoyed coming across your channel! Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of your knitting journey, we All have them! I too recently loaded my cart with some cones, from the same company, but when I calculate the shipping to California USA, $$$, I deleted everything! I have purchased a few cones and a balls of yarn from Holz, shipping was reasonably priced! I visited Ireland in 2007, what a beautiful country and everyone was so nice! We had a wonderful 3 weeks traveling the area. 🎊Congrats🎉 on over 1K subscribers, plus one more...me!🦋
Ohhhhh thanks so much Sharon!!!! You warmed my heart ❤️ did you enjoy Ireland??? Have you had the chance to visit a bit outside Dublin?
Yarn behaviour, a tip. Look up projects on ravelry made with the same yarn and read through other peoples notes.
I did this halfway through knitting a compliacted sweater that I was resigned to frogging as It was looking too small. Someones notes complained that it grew 10cm after blocking....so now I was nervous about too much ease :D. It turned out the perfect size in the end. Imagine if Id undone and redone ir...all that work for an unwearably large garment.
Great tip! Sometimes I am rushing into a project almost blindfolded
Cant wait to get some stitches on the needle eh? Ps the cardigan youre wearing is gorgeous! @@irishfarmart
Ouch! The import tax. I was worried about the cost of shipping, so gave it a miss, even though I was interested. Still, you still have some gorgeous yarn for many projects to come. 💜💜💜
Exactly! And that will do me for a while for sure 😅
The socks are beautiful. You did a wonderful job. Love the back story to your collection.
Aw thanks so much!!!! I love to give some meaningful background to my patterns…it makes them a bit more special! Have a great day
What a breath of fresh air you are. I. Getting over heart surgery, and found knitting to be a
very nice way to relax. Lovely day out and thank you for sharing. I can’t tell you how many
mistakes I have made knitting socks. There are so many methods for heels! Lol! Yours are
wonderful! I’m so excited to have found your channel. Stay safe and strong. I can well imagine
with Covid, a lot of folks are turning back to knitting as they stay in and away from others don’t
you think? Have a beautiful day ♥️🙏🕊
Thanks so much for your lovely message! And that or sharing with me your story! Really means a lot! Knitting has saved so many people’s mental health during covid! And I find it’s a good way to keep traditions alive too
I didn't like cascade 220 superwash either
It’s too sleek for my taste
I love to see you and your work. Thanks for sharing the little shamrock ☘️ I did make some and share with the Bingo ladies and the knit and crochet class at the Corona Senior Center in CA thank you stay safe and healthy, take good care of your creative hands ♥️
Thanks so much!!! Say hi to those wonderful ladies too!!!! ☘️❤️
I miss Ireland 😢😢
Hi Sam! Another great podcast from you! I was wondering if you watch ‘The knitting man?’ His last two episodes have beautiful clips from his trip to Venice- I’m sure I’ve spotted some of the buildings you’ve told us about.
Oh I haven’t seen that! I must check it out! Thanks so much for the recommendation
@@irishfarmart I’m sure you’ll enjoy Gary’s podcasts too - he’s very talented and very funny!😊
You are so talented. You are musician, knitter, lawyer and you draws and paints. Impressive!!
Aw thanks so much
That cardigan looks great! May have to attempt one myself. Def inspired me
Absolutely fabulous fit! And I am really fussy with my fitting 😅 a suggestion though…check the project comments on Ravelry for tips…the pattern seems to have a few errors
Interesting podcast today. Good luck with the cable sweater. I have knitted a few of them in my family's Crest pattern. Now I'm working on another for a great nephew and it went well until I had to decrease. Got 3/4 to the end and my mistakes were so noticeable I tore it all out and started over. I have the same amount done now as you. Good luck to both of us. Labor of love.
Good luck to both of us indeed ❤️ I would so much love to see a photo of your creations!
@@irishfarmart once I figure out how to add a photo I will show you
@@donnadalelio5625 thanks so much
Hi Sam! I love all your Venice patterns, and hearing the stories behind. Please don’t get discouraged 🤗 Social media can be such a minefield! Love your new project bag 😉 But OMG the import charge on the yarn!!!! Ouch!
That was unexpected indeed! At least the yarn is beautiful….but still…I have Bette check charges next time 😂
Please keep the Irish music! The end of the video brought back wonderful memories of our trips to Ireland. Thanks for sharing. Your "Irish " eyes are smiling! Don't get discouraged with the cable knit sweater. It is true that it becomes easier with practice, like everything thing else in life. I did pick up a trick for remembering the way you hold your stitches to make the direction of the cable. Left out front, be right back. I wish I had happened on it years ago. I find it very helpful in making sense out of the cables so I pass it on to you! When you hold your stitches in the front, your cable direction is left. When you hold your stitches in the back, your cable direction is right. It may sound silly but I imagine leaving something out in the front of my house realizing I forgot something else I needed so, I will be right back when I find it! Don't give up on cable knit sweaters. Just take your time and have paper and pencil or a knitting counter on hand to mark rows. I have to have quiet except for nice music when I knit complicated projects. I loved this video and look forward to the next.
That’s the most helpful suggestion I have received on cable knitting!!! I am going to treasure it!!! Thanks so much
@@irishfarmart Awwwwwww you are so welcome! 💚
@@janecornell8219 ❤️
Sam you are really talented, i enjoy your podcast very much
Thanks so much ❤️
That was fabulous Sam. Really enjoyed hearing what you have been doing and what knits you have on the needle. Your cardi looks perfect. Well done. What a great shame about your bobble sweater but sometimes these things happen. Think at the music school you might mean you were in “ the courtyard”. Sound a magnificent place. The Irish music was a joy. Horrified at the tax you had to pay for your wool. Here I was thinking what a lovely bargain you had and then you told us the customs price. On the other hand you have lots of lovely colours for future projects. Looking forward to your next vlog. ☘️
That’s exactly what I thought…although custom change was super high, I am having some beautiful yarn in stash…which in the end is what matters! Thanks for checking my video Jill! Big hug 🤗
This was a great podcast and I enjoyed it. The backstory on your socks brought a smile to my face - not just because you were able to recreate your grandmother's sock pattern, but also the story of the building that inspired the socks. I appreciate your honesty on your Brooklyn Tweed pattern - I couldn't stop laughing. Just pure honesty.
It's a shame you had to pay so much more on your Holst yarn - it would be nice if you can make arrangements with someone in the UK so you save on shipping the next time.
Ahahah the honesty piece! Everyone mentioned I have been honest and now I am wondering if I should have or not 😅
Thanks for the update. Your new bobble sweater looks great so far I love the colours. Hope you get through the stockinette soon! I'm working on a very plain jumper for my husband In mostly stockinette so I will also be glad when my project is done.
At least it’s a good television project right?!
I love the stories behind your pattern and especially the heel. Thank you for making this sick pattern so special to add to my collection. None of my family knit and my daughter didn’t enjoy it as I do but I have a grandson that seems to be interested. I will share your story of this sock pattern with him and continue a grandmothers tradition 😁
Thanks so so much! I am so happy I am able to inspire a bit! Please teach and nourish your grandson passion! My grandma did it with me and I am so glad to keep up her tradition
Sam, I love your cardigan and your socks! Your WIPs are looking good😊
Thank you so much for sharing the St. Patrick’s Day festivities and the music❤️
Awww my pleasure! Thanks so much for your lovely message ☘️❤️
You can get the dewalt bag without the tool in the U.S.
I use it as a project bags too!
It's approximately 10 U.S dollars
I looked everywhere!!!! It’s amazing!!!! I must check Amazon perhaps
Just bought the Ukrainian bow tie and your sock patterns! Thank you for helping, and good luck with your goals! I think you are off to a great start!
You are a star! I will keep you updated on my next podcast how much we donated this month! Also, I really wish and hope you are right!! I so would love one day to make of this a proper career
The Dewalt bag made my day! What a great idea for repurposing!
Aw thank you!!!! Forgot about that 😂
Ye keep the 🎵🎶
