    I started knitting in August…your accomplishments blow me away. You have many talents rolled up here. Your knitting, story telling and TH-cam skills all take time and patience to build. I’m excited that we can find so much in crafting. Thank you!🌸💗🌸

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The way your comment just made me tear up right now!!! 🥲 Like most people I always sell myself short and have never considered any of the things you just SO KINDLY TOOK THE TIME TO TYPE OUT. You are so sweet to share this with me, thank you so much 🥺

  • @natali1856
    @natali1856 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    You knit so much in your first year! And you pick colors that suit you so well. Last year was also my first year knitting and I completed 0 projects. 🥲 I find knitting so much harder than crocheting.

    • @ccam504
      @ccam504 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Knitting seemed confusing at first to me too but started on scarfs then moved to another easy project when comfortable enough to move to another easy project. Most knitters have several unfinished projects on needles. 😊 If you have a local yarn shop they can help with good starter patterns . Keep practice knitting , many people who can crochet are wonderful knitters too.

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you! Knitting and crocheting definitely have their own pros and cons, but the number of hours I spent studying knitting techniques really helped me understand the stitches and construction. It's not an easy hobby but it is definitely worth the effort!

  • @JoanneZira
    @JoanneZira ปีที่แล้ว +2

    People can be more or less gifted in certain areas of crafting...to make this level of items in your first year of knitting, well, you must be so damned proud 🥰

    You got me when you said you became brave in the spring with your knitting and by spring you had already made so many things that I was already thinking to myself how amazing it was that you had tackled so many knitting projects as a newbie! I’m new…I’m not brave and I’ve knit through a spring already 🤪 I love all of your things🤗

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      LOL. It's just that I was timidly approaching them before and by spring, I came across any pattern and was like I'VE GOT THIS! Hahaha. So your "brave knitting" era might still be around the corner 😊

    My goal for this year is learning to knit! Which I have started! And honestly because of you, I wanted to get into knitting. I have been a crocheter for the last year and have been watching your videos for a few months and fell in love with all that you have made

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว

    OMG! So impressed with all you’ve accomplished the first year. I learned to knit as a child and am now a grandmother. I still feel like a beginner. I have vowed to increase my skills this year. I may take a sock class this spring. I want to learn color work and lace. You’re inspirational! Keep up the good work. 😊

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for sharing! A class would be an awesome way to level up-I took a mini colorwork class in the fall and it was so inspiring!

      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว

    Lots of beautiful knits! Well done and so much learned. An idea to add length on your little white tee without trauma would be to add an inch or two of crocheted lace or something to the bottom since you also crochet. It would be so easy and very unique. Welcome to the world of knitting!

    What a beautiful collection of knits for the year! This was my first time watching one of your videos, but I had such a beginner knitting journey! When I was fifteen I knit a small square swatch, then I cast on a hat, a pair of socks and a sweater! I love the sweater you’re wearing in the video ❤

    I started knitting at the same time as you and I’ve been following since your first knitting podcast or so, and I absolutely LOVE everything you make! It’s all so dreamy and beautiful 🥹 But I really don’t get how people get so many pieces done in just one year, I didn’t even make half as you and I was knitting all the time 🥲

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Super easy when you're talking about your accomplishments but I know how much effort patience and love it takes. You're too sweet and hard-working at a time, I feel like following your exemple. Thanks for your video.
    P.S. Would be different from other knitting videos if garments were viewed longer on the screen and not only talked about from diffrrent angles, put on plastic models heads, or you'd try them on camera. Thanks

    I’m currently knitting a green hat with Woolia yarn -loving the color but not sure how it would look on me. Then I see you knitted a beanie in emerald- I swear it’s the same green!
    All your knits are beautiful & seem to suit you.
    Somewhere I heard that a good knitter is a good frogger/tink-er. So go ahead and “fix” anything you would like to fit better. Consider it good knitting.
    Also, I love that you love all your knits. 🧶

    Hey, with the alpaca yarn, try wool in the gang alpaca there alpaca it doesn’t have guard hairs in it which is what is making the alpaca itchy drops alpaca has guard hairs. That’s why it’s itchy.

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว

Love your honesty in mistakes and the first time trying. Now I have tried most of the famous skills and stitches, except for the fisherman's rib that you tried fearlessly at the beginning! The one you are wearing now is so pretty and fits you really well!! :)

  • @maryjanemason7290
    @maryjanemason7290 ปีที่แล้ว

    You should try 9"circular needles SOOO much easier than DPNs, check out a few TH-cam videos, or use needles stops on the ends of your DPNs, adds another couple steps per round but saves a lot of frustrations and fixes, worth the extra steps.

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I find it too fiddly to use the 9" circulars on the heel flaps! I use DPNs just on the heel flap and the small circulars for the rest of the sock.

    @BzerkBnny ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! What an impressing first year! Just from your first project to your second we can see how good you got :) I think your first hat looks really even although what may look like laddering to you may be due to the fact you were twisting your stitch at that moment. It creates more room between the stitches and makes it not stand straight

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much! I KNOW I literally can't believe I didn't know I was twisting my stitches, but I didn't know any better back then and never considered it again! 😂

  • @joannathesinger770
    @joannathesinger770 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh my goodness! I learned basic knitting years ago, but never did much with it. I felt the urge to try s-o-m-e t-h-i-n-g, so signed up for a KAL on Japanese charting and a butterfly shawl. I also started a rather wide scarf just to get my knitting groove going...it's mindless and I can work on it without having to count or think. I plan to learn two-at-a-time magic loop toe up socks next and a summer tee after that...but I'm not sure I have the time for much more.

    Just found your channel. Love your knits. You have inspired me to try the vanilla socks again by Crazy Sock Lady. I had knit one sock but it was way too big because i used a 2.5mm needle. I bought a 2.25mm and will try again and also add patterning in it like you did. I look forward to future videos. 😊

    • @truelaneknits
      @truelaneknits  ปีที่แล้ว

    Your voice really sounds so therapeutic to me! I feel like I could listen to you all day while knitting along :) your festival sweater is my favorite. Iˋm currently waiting for my order from Olivia&Oliver fibers to make one myself (my main color will be apple blossom) So excited!!!!

    Your first sweater decision was such a good one! The first sweater I ever knit was a CARDIGAN with cables, all the pieces knit flat and seamed. Also, I thought it was a great decision to knit it in superwash wool? Thinking of it makes me laugh out loud - literally. I still have it, and I still wear it but it's a mess. One sleeve is tighter than the other, but people are still surprised when I say I made it so, it must look ok!

      If it’s too far down, I’d just pull it to the back! Otherwise I’d just drop the stitch down and do the fix. There are lots of tutorials on it!

    I have noticed that MFTK designs are prone to stretching out. I guess it's because too thin yarn is worked on too big needles. Also silk itself is just a champion of stretching...

When you started talking about her LOTR collection I was so stoked. I was sad because I only caught the end of the collection but once she opened up preorders for the whole collection I jumped on that so quick!! I can’t wait to get the mini set of variegated yarn!

    hi! i don’t know if you did it intentionally or if it is part of the pattern, but on the orange beanie, your knit stitches are all twisted instead of stockinette stitch 😬 just something i noticed and might be helpful to point out! 😊
