Thank you for making an episode showcasing Holst Garn. I've recently purchased Holts Garn Super Sift when it was on sale and I've been wondering about the type of patterns would suit and how the finished fabric turned out after washing. I just subscribed, I'm Barbara Radzevicius Bondi Crafter on TH-cam. Best wishes from Australia 🧶🧶.
So cute together!
Thanks very much for the mention! I enjoyed hearing about your experience knitting with the 3 different Holst Garn yarns. Happy Making!
Thanks for watching. Us Canadians need to stick together!
Thanks for the Holst review. I just sent for 3 cones of the supersoft, plus I am working on a supersoft sweater right now, so it is good to see how the holst works up.
Glad I could help. I love the Coast the best, but the Supersoft works up nice.
Thank you so much for the Holst review! I'm currently knitting a sweater in Tides, and I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. But your review is so helpful because I'd been struggling to find the perfect colors for a S. West shawl and Holst has so many colorways, so I can order several because they're so inexpensive and see if they're just right.
Thank you for your review of Holst Garn. I greatly appreciate videos like this
Thank you for watching. I will have another similar one in the next few weeks
Very nice to see you two,happy couple! Congratulations on the new granddaughter. Blessings 😊
Thank you so much!
Rosie all of your tops are absolutely beautiful
You 2 are so adorable together. Love all the projects. You are very talented, Boss Lady. Congratulations on the arrival of your granddaughter. God Bless ❤
Thanks Lisa! Hope you are doing well!
So great to see you both and catch up. Thank you Rosie for the review on the Garn Yarn!
Thanks for watching Gary. Hope you are well.
Congratulations on your new granddaughter I’m so happy to see you and your cover up so beautiful you do fantastic job
Thank you Paula!
Love your tops Rosie. Happy you enjoyed your time away. Sorry about the covid. I take a wip with me. Get some interesting conversations going. Congratulations to your new granddaughter.
Hi Terese. Hope you are well! Yes knitting and crocheting in public does create interesting conversations. LOL
Beautiful sweaters!! This video really makes it obvious what a difference blocking can make. 🧶💕🧶
Yes it does! Glad you could see it! When I was investigating Holst Garn, I really wanted to see the before and after.
I love the cover up , beautiful 😍 Everything you make is gorgeous, you must be a fast knitter . Congratulations on the grand daughter 🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on the arrival of your new granddaughter. I love seeing all your new knits, you do such a great job. I am expecting my first order from Holst any day now, i can hardly wait. Am happy to know that Covid did not get the better of the both of you. I hope you have a wonderful summer.
What kind of Holst did you get? Colour?
@@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281 I ordered Holst super soft and Titicaca.
My goodness Rosie all those sweaters are beautiful. Thank you for showing us the process of blocking which I'm about to do on a knitted sweater. I enjoyed your video and I love you and your better half...LOL Take care!!!
Thanks Billie, he is kind of cute! LOL
Gorgeous knitted tops and the crochet dress wow !! And Congratulations on your new granddaughter so adorable 😀❤️❤️
Thanks Patsy. Hope you are well!
@@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281 HI Rosie I'm doing good !! Thank for asking how r u today 😀❤️
Congratulations on your granddaughter.
You do such great work on your sweaters, they are beautiful.
Thanks Rosanna!
I enjoyed seeing all your beautiful projects. You do such a good job at modifying patterns to fit you. I, too, had some tightening at the colorwork section across the chest area of my Unbearable Hoodie and should have gone up a needle size in that section. Fortunately, blocking helped quite a bit. Thank you for all the inspiration for future knits and crochet. I love your crochet cover-up dress. Fantastic! 😊
Thanks for watching Shannon!
Many thanks Rosie for your thorough Holst reviews I have wanted to order some for quite awhile and after watching your review, I feel considerably more sure about what I will purchase 💜🧶
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
New subscriber. Love the full process review of the yarns. It really imparts so much more information than "here how it looks after I blocked".
Congratulations on the new granddaughter!!
Thanks for watching and subscribing
Very interesting! Thank you for the thoughts about Holst Yarn!
Thank you so much for watching.
Rosie all your sweaters are magnificent! Although I have done a bit of knitting, it's just basic. I wish I had developed it more. The finished items are much more delicate han crochet. Thanks for all the information about your experience.
Sigal, you can still develop your knitting. It's all about practice and experience!
Congratulations on your new grand baby. Lovely podcast as usual 😁
Thank you! 😊
Lovely podcast. Congratulations on your new granddaughter. I love seeing what wearables you makd and I have just discover a yarn shop in Australia that stocks Holst yarn.
I love Holst, but for crochet, I would definitely use two strands. Way to thin. But I love knitting with it!
Awww congrats grandma & grandpa she’s adorable. Sounds like fun trips planned. Glad your C was mild and cleared up quickly. (Can’t remember all the names of patterns and makes but I’ll try) Love the last colorwork pattern you want to make last, I’d like to do that one myself. All your makes are spectacular, the oat and maroon colored tops look amazing! Look nice and light and I like how the oat colored one is almost see through but not so it looks like a great summer top. The denim colorwork is gorgeous! It turned out really nice, I like a heathered look in my yarns too, yeah silk isn’t as soft as most people think, it really is a stiffer feel, but the breathability should make your top a perfect fall weather top.
I’m like you if I make a mistake I’ll just keep making that same mistake to make it appear fine. I would’ve never known, bet the designer wouldn’t have really spotted it either.
I do have a pattern it’s free, it’s called “The Perfect Tee”. Can’t remember who designed it, but it comes up with a Google search. It’s a easy, fun mindless knit in a dk weight (she used Coboo) which that pretty pink mistaken size yarn would look awesome with. (She has a crochet and a knit version) like I said a great mindless knit so you can keep up with “The Offer”. 😉. I’ve seen the ads for that series and I’m thinking about watching it too, The Godfather was one of my favs as well.
Have a great weekend. TTFN! 💚
Hey there. Nice to hear from you. Thanks for your comments. I’m going to check out the perfect tee! The pink DK is nice but I hate when I increase you can really see the stitches. I’ve taken it apart three time. Hope you are good.
@@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281 oh man! Have you done the increases using picking up the stitch below (either before or after depending on which lean you want) that increase style seems to be the least noticeable?
I’m doing ok. 💚
I have tried that method too. I think it depends on the yarn as to whether you can see it. I have tried about four different patterns with the pink yarn, and I'm just not feeling it!
Thank you so….. much for the yarn review! I have several cones of the super soft and was considering pairing it with silk mohair but after your review I will try using it as is.
Let me know how it turns out!
thank you, and a beauty of a grandbabyyy
Thanks for watching
Your tops are gorgeous!!! I love seeing what you're working on. I may look at that one crochet top. I have a granddaughter due October 31st so I'm busy with things for her too and getting Christmas items done earlier so we can go to Philadelphia to help them with their son and anything else they need. Happy you had a good time in Mexico, sorry you got Covid. Didn't you have to test before entering Canada on your way home? Prayers, love and hugs my dear friend. 🙏💜🤗
Thanks Barbara! It looks like we won't be coming to San Juan afterall. WE will be flying to St. Thomas instead. So exciting to have new grandchildren. Way better than children. LOL
@@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281 So true!! Enjoy your trip!!
Holst supersoft is lambswool and Shetland.
OMG you knit so fast. It takes me months to knit one. Do you watch Candy from Blue eyed style? She does beautiful crochet colorwork sweaters (from B.C.)
No I don't watch Candy. I'll look her up. I don't really knit very fast, but I do spend a lot of time. Thanks for watching Louise.
I might have missed it, but did you knit and block test swatches first?
I did a little swatch, but i don't think it counts.
Who’s the seller or the name of the pony cord that you got from Amazon so wanting it! Thanks in advance
Sorry for the delay in responding. I got it on Amazon. Pandahall 54.68 Yards/Roll 2mm Hollow Pipe Tubuing Rubber Cord with 1mm Hole Solid Rubber Tube Cord with Plasic Spool (Gray)
