Thank you for your podcast! I love how you go over your knitting process and you are so meticulous. I find it inspiring.
Hello! Aw I'm so glad to hear that, thank you for watching! Definitely nice to have an outlet to go into great detail about knitting without driving my non-knitting loved ones crazy haha!
very interesting and informative podcast!!! If it were for me I would leave the ingrid sweater how it is and just wear it, but I do that with most knits, just skip over mistakes and pretend it was intended. it looks super cute on too!!
That's true, mistakes really are what you make them out to be - either you let yourself get super annoyed or you just accept it and enjoy the project anyway! Thank you for watching
Honestly, re the Ingrid sweater, I don't think anyone would ever notice the mismatched sleeves. I'm not even sure you'll notice them after a while. It's a beautiful sweater, and it would be very sad if you couldn't wear it because you didn't like how the fix turned out.
Hi Lyn! Thanks for saying that! It's true, it would definitely be sad if the sweater never saw the light of day this season. I just got the extra yarn in the mail so I think I'll work on finishing it soon :)
I adore your channel, I loved your video, cordial greetings from Mexico City. felicidades amiga.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Felicidades!
Im knitting the ingrid sweater man version right now. I'm getting terrified of the sleeves now. But so far, i like how engaging this knit is. I have to think because the pattern assumes the knitter can deduce what is meant. It looks beautiful on you.
Thank you! It's true that it's so engaging! In the end I felt like marking up the chart for where sleeve decreases need to go helped. Hope you have fun with the rest of your project!
Hi Yiqi! Thanks for keeping me company as I painted my knitting nook this afternoon. All your makes are so beautiful!
Some thoughts on ribbing: Try knitting through the back loop when doing the knit stitch if you like that neat, tidy look. This will give you twisted rib. I had the same issue with the messier knit stitch when doing rib. I think it has something to do with the tension of the neighboring purl stitch. I discovered that knitting my purls by looping my yarn under the needle, instead of over, makes for cleaner ribbing.
Hi Iny! Aw painting your knitting nook sounds like such a lovely new year's project! Thanks for the tip, I'd never thought to try looping the yarn under the needle for the purl to get cleaner ribbing, I'm definitely going to give it ago! Thank you!
Love your hats. I also ran out of yarn on a recent knit project. I seriously thought I had bought enough yarn. 🧶🤷🏾♀️ Love the needle stoppers. 🦊
Thank you! Haha glad it's not just me, definitely no fun losing yarn chicken (esp when you didn't know you were playing yarn chicken!)
I had more than the yardage for my Ingrid and I also ran out of yarn! I had to make mine shorter and not do the collar in the pattern. I love the color of yours !
Oh no, I'm sorry that you ran out of yarn too! That's smart to just make it shorter - I was too overconfident that I had enough yarn haha. And thank you!
You are such a beautiful gal! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and gorgeous knits. If that sweater sleeve is going to be the only thing that you think about when looking at that sweater, redo the sleeve. 😂 It’s a perfect fit!
Hi Heidi! Aw that's so nice, thanks for saying that! Haha, the sleeve was totally all I could think about at first! I'm am now trying sit with it a bit, working on other projects in the meantime to give me and this sweater some space from each other haha 😂 Thanks for the kind words!
Yay! I’m loving these podcasts 🥳
Aw yay thank you so much! 🎉 Happy new year to you!
So good to find you Yiqi! This was such a fun episode. And I LOVE your turtleneck. ❤
Hello and thanks so much for watching!! Haha, that day was way too hot to wear a sweater so I opted for a regular shirt! I love your beautiful knitting projects, videos, decor, and whole aesthetic!
Great podcast😊 your Ingrid sweater looks perfect.
Thank you! 😊 I have actually been wearing it so much lately and really enjoy it!
I really enjoyed your podcast
Thank you for sharing with us
Hello! Aw I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Hi Yiqi, love your podcast. I totally get your frustration with the Ingrid sweater, not dramatic at all. I’m working on a project at the moment where I had to do sweater surgery and it’s pretty stressful. I had the same kind of frustration and wondering if trying to fix something just made it worse. It can become overwhelming. I think it’s a good idea to leave it as it is for a while, so you get some clarity with distance from the problem. It could be a good idea to knit a small swatch, cut and graft it, to see how the yarn behaves. You’ll get a feel for it and be able to decide if you want to cut the sleeve. Something I like to remember is that all this troubleshooting with knitting is where we learn and grow. You’ll be a better knitter than you were before. I love how adventurous you are and I’ve been enjoying your podcast. Have a great day and thanks for the inspiring content. - Just editing to say that I’m watching your most recent episode now and so glad you’re feeling better about the sweater! It really is beautiful
Hello! Aw thank you so much for watching and for your very thoughtful message!! It's true, leaving it alone for it was a good idea! My knee jerk reaction to problems is to fix them asap (applies to knitting and also a bit in life 😂) but there will be endless problems and sometimes when you get some clarity you realize it's not a big deal! And practicing on a smaller swatch is a great idea! Really appreciate your kind words! 💕
I love your videos ❤
Aw thank you so much! ❤
Go Yiqi!! Love the podcast, if I were creative and skilled like you, I'd totally pick up knitting, you made it look easy. Also love the shout-outs for Matt ❤️🥰! Xo
Hiiii Han! Aw thank you! Hope we can catch up soon and I can hear about all the exciting adventures that I'm sure you've been up to! Happy New Year!
Just found your podcast and really enjoying it so far! On the Ingrid, I would def redo the first sleeve - I think the Kitchener “scar” will be hidden in the textural changes that happen in this sweater, whereas in the headband the fabric is so smooth otherwise that your eye is naturally drawn to any small inconsistencies
Hi Samantha! Aw I'm so glad to hear that and thanks so much for watching! That's so true - the more I look at the sleeve, the more I realize that there are lots of places to "hide" any potential scars bc of the textures!
Loved your podcast! I just started the first sleeve of my Ingrid Sweater so I knit it while watching you☺️ The construction of the sweater is so beautiful but you are right, it’s pretty involved and you have to have your wits about you in certain parts of the pattern. My MO with most items I knit is to make a couple of mistakes and tink back multiple times - I’ve just accepted it as a part of my process at this point 🫠 I just subscribed and I’m looking forward to seeing more on your channel!
Yay!! Haha yes "have your wits about you" is exactly what is needed but am sometimes lacking 😂 Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!! I hope you are enjoying knitting the ingrid sweater! :)
Yes, frog it. It will annoy you and you won't wear it. Much love xxx
Hello and thanks for watching this video! It's true, really hard to un-see a knitting mistake!
I’m on the last stretch of my Ingrid sweater too! I ran out of yarn a little bit earlier though. I find it funny that I did the exact same thing with the sleeves. I knit the first sleeve with one less short row because I knit the first short row too far. That’s funny how similar our situations were 😂 best of luck with what you decide to do, I didn’t think fixing it was an option for me, I can live with the slight difference thankfully!
Yayy final stretch! That is funny that we both had the same situation happen, but I agree that one short row would hardly be noticeable at all! I hope you enjoy knitting the rest of your sweater!
@@tangerineknits thanks! You too!
Omg I wanted to knit Ingrid so bad but your making me nervous to lol 😅
Haha oh no you should totally go for it!! I think if I just paid attention instead of multi-tasking it would have been fine. I love the sweater - I wore it all the time until the weather started warming up :)
@@tangerineknits thanks for the little encouragement. ;)
That’s terrible about your Ingrid sweater!! Sometimes I find if you wear it and it doesn’t bother you then dont worry about it...because typically no one will notice a mistake. As knitters we seem to focus too much on the negative-our mistakes!! If you put your sweater on and ask your boyfriend to see if there’s anything strange about it, and he notices it, then maybe consider re-doing one sleeve, otherwise think twice before frogging the sleeve. I am always fudging decreases and shaping!! I just picked up my Ingrid sweater after it sat for a month because of Christmas knitting. I have 2 sleeves to do..but so far it seems pretty fun!! I forgot how fun it was. Happy Knitting!😊
Hi Helen! Thanks for your note - it's true, it's way too easy to fixate on mistakes that we know about as knitters but it's a good sanity check to see if it's even noticeable for others! Super exciting that you're picking back up your Ingrid sweater as well, I hope you have fun!! Happy Knitting to you too :)
@@tangerineknits a tip to help you with the sleeve chart or future charts where they ask you to repeat rows and do decreases…is to number the rows, so I started : 1-2-1-2-1-2 (repeating the first 2 rows x3) then continue numbering 3-4 (dec) 5-6-7 -8 and then to note the next 8th row to dec to make a note on that row. Hope this makes sense. 👍
@@helentkalcic4417 Yes it does and it's a great idea! At first, I was trying to keep it in my head, but that became too much so I started writing numbers on the on the chart as you said and putting a mark on the decrease rows. Was definitely super helpful!
Just found you and I’m your 1K person!!! 🎉
Yay thank you so much for watching!! Have a wonderful weekend :)
That is one beautiful fabric shaver. What is the brand name? It is possible to find out where they purchase it
I knowww right! It's called "Pudding Fabric Shaver" and the brand is Sothing - it shipped via Amazon so I assume that's where they purchased it!
@@tangerineknits Thank you for answering my question and for taking the time to share your knitting with us through YourTube
@@aninehartog3950 Of course, happy to help! Thanks for watching :)
Did you knit the ingrid sweater without the mohair? Did you have to change anything?
Hello! Yes, I did drop the mohair! The pattern called for DK + mohair held together, and I used one strand of worsted weight yarn instead. I used the recommended needle size in the pattern and after swatching, found that my gauge is a bit larger than the pattern, so I sized down one size. It seemed really small before blocking, but blocked out to my intended measurements after some stretching!
