    Love your Flamingo/Sunrise sock combo, even if the colors blend a little that just makes an even brighter and really pretty colour !

    I'm so happy you got the vest test knit!! I cannot wait to see it 😊 I never thought I'd knit a vest, but I think you've convinced me that I have to make one to wear with a shirt at work!!

      Thank you!! I was beyond excited! Best are such a satisfying project because they can be cropped and no sleeves!!!

    Love the pink and orange socks! It’s definitely not high contrast but it’s looking amazing! The pattern is perfect for the two colors!

      Thank you!! I'm thinking of playing with the contrast a bit more!

    Lovely podcast as always! And it’s still so surreal to see you talk about me and my pattern in your videos 😂 I love your November cuff club socks! I feel very inspired to make some for myself 👀

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know!! It’s so cool!! 🥰 you should 100% cast some on!!!

    Your KAL sounds awesome. I prefer jeweltones and I don't like wearing neutrals like beige. So, this could be a fun challenge for me. Love the colors of your projects. 🧶

      Thank you!! It’s a great excuse to use up those random skeins that we never tend to pick up!!

    congratulations on the KAL and what a great idea!! i feel like I always go for pinks and purples and admire the beige-y neutrals from afar. I have signed up for a cable sweater test knit that finishes in February and this KAL is a great nudge to do it in a more neutral colour. i'd love to join the group chat 💜

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yay! You should totally join the KAL! We all need a little motivating sometimes!

    Ash I just want to say that your videos are literally a highlight in my day when they come out! I love your personality and your style, I'm right there with you in wanting to knit everything in bright colors. I wish we could be irl knitting buddies!
    I think I'm going to join this KAL as my first ever! ❤️ I have a bunch of Drops Melody in beige that was supposed to become a Dressed to Impress cardigan from Laine issue 17, but I messed up on it and it has been abandoned ever since 😅 I would like to make some kind of every day wear garment out of it for the winter, or maybe a big beige Berlin scarf? I'll have to dig through my favorites in Raveley lol

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are so sweet! We totally could’ve been irl knitting buddies!! It means so much that you watch and I love the idea of making something cozy out of that Drops Melody! I big cosy scarf would be lush!! 🥰🥰🥰

    I am knitting the staffin jumper test, and I love your colour choice! I’ve gone for a more autumnal rusty orange as I had it in stash, but I do see a bright vest in my future!!

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ooo that sounds delicious 🤤 I’m so in love with the Staffin vest already so don’t tempt me by knitting a jumper as well! Also, I really enjoyed your last video! So cozy and cute! I look forward to watching them when they pop up!

    I signed up for the KAL also intending to use a beige!😂❤might do the ballad sweater too!!

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน

      We can be twins!! That would be so cute 🥹

  • @HeartfeltKnits
    @HeartfeltKnits หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love your videos Ash! You have a fantastic, inspiring aesthetic. I typically lean towards earthy neutrals and muted tones, so bright colors, especially green, spook me. The KAL is great inspiration for me to use some of those now!

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! You’re so kind! Sometimes you just need to little push to try something new! 🥰

    Awww 😍 what a great idea for a KAL ❤@marynamaf, love all the colors, bright and neutral BUT brown, definitely need to work on this. Maybe I should make Bergman Sweater by Caitlin Hunter 🤎🩵 (blue is my absolute favorite color, so I can sweeten this KAL by adding some colorwork in blue)... Or should I start low key with a small sock project in lovely 💩 color? 😂

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you!!! Light blue and brown is actually a really good colour combo if you were willing to put them together! Unexpected but really gorgeous! Think of all the birds that a blue and brown! 🪺

    Your videos are so much fun and inspiring. Your colour aesthetic in out of my comfort zone but would love to try in a garment. My socks are crazy, bright and loud which I wear to work to share with little people. Little Woolie is my favourite LYS too, one day we may cross paths. Thank you for another amazing yarny podcast

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much 💕 bright colourful socks are the highlight of my life! I hope we meet one day!!!

    I had the same issue as you with grippy yarn being difficult to knit with. Someone left a comment on my podcast episode at the time suggesting to swap the left needle for a smaller size and it made the world of difference! It was just so much easier so maybe you could try that?

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That’s a great tip! I didn’t even think of that!

  • @milliegonzalez4416

    I love the pink and orange socks, but I agree that there's not enough contrast. The low contrast look is kinda cool tho, but if you really want the colors to pop, then you'd probably want to replace one of the colors. When you do the B/W test, make sure you are desaturating the image, rather than putting a B/W filter on it, these will give you a different results! What you are trying to do is only see the value in the colors, so desaturating will show that better. Both colors are super close in both value and chroma at the moment. If you decide to switch the colors, you can just pick a lower saturation or value version (or both) of either the pink/orange. Personally, I would choose a lighter and duller orangey to make that bright pink really shine :)

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for the advice!! I'm definitely going to experiment with the color contrast a bit more because you and a few other people are right! It’s just not popping enough!

    That orange and 0ink sock had little contrast. Pick other colors. Maybe a neon green with the pink?

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was actually considering green!!

    ❤ @knotyeolde.susannah ... What a brilliant idea! I recently purchased a very bright sock yarn waaaay out of my comfort zone & just today cast on a shawl so perfect timing!

    • @SmashKnits
