I watch on my tv so I looooove when you put the names of the designs etc on the screen as the show notes are not readily available. But surely understand if it takes too long in the editing. 🌼🌼🌼
Lovely knits from a lovely knitter. Trying yo work out the gauge and size to make for my first Ranunculus! So excited! Ps I prefer the khaki brown on you x
Dear Selma
Please keep on putting the notes on the screen while its running...we see it on T.V. ..so I stop the video and im looking for it at the same time. I have got so meny good names, patterns and yarns to look for and fund, ordered just from that simple option of yours. Thank you very much. It is great to lern from you and I am a 50 years knitter...so..its amazing for me.
A Carbeth Cardigan out of the rustic yarn??? Just a thought!
Oh so happy to see you again! I just found the sweetest knitting podcast called ‘Ashlees Knits’…she’s 18 and only has 5 videos…I thought you might enjoy her!
I think the lighter brown would be beautiful!
Selma, blue is really your color!
Thanks for the recommendation!!
I think that the darker brown is more complimentary to your skin and hair color
Thank you for yet another wonderful and relaxing episode. 💖💖💖 The colors for your sister-in-law's shawl are fantastic 👌. Your Elton sweater will be gorgeous. I laughed when you talked about having framed yarn around your house - I've been thinking about buying a glass cabinet for mine so I can enjoy it more.😄
Good idea!!
Beautiful beautiful knitting and yarn 🧶 chat. If you are open to continuing with adding information on the screen, I do appreciate it and use it frequently. And, I completed understand if you will need to discontinue that time-consume piece of what you present onscreen for we viewers 💕🌱🧶🥰
Woo hoo!! SELMA TIME!!!
😍😍😍
regarding your swatching with the nutiden; I like the darker swatch for you instead of the paler one... but you look better in cool colors I think, so maybe theres another mohair color that could go with it in a darker but cooler tone of brown? the white ranunculus is very pretty and soft looking, lucky friend! dont forget you were going to do a podcast showing all your vests, its coming on Fall and that might be a good topic soon! thank you for the podcast today!
Thank you for the reminder!! Must put that in my notebook 😊😊😊
The light brown is richer looking on you
I really like the richer brown it suits you really nicely. I agree that harbour colour is beautiful I can see why you like it so much.
Thanks for sharing all your swatching, so many people skip that and I love to see the process. I like the warmer/redder brown I think. I am going to try my first ranunculus sweater holding a strand a fingering and a strand of suri alpaca/silk. Thanks for the yarn substitution talk on this.
I did not like My Brilliant Friend either. Been reading The Invention of Nature, chronically Humboldts travels and thoughts. For rustic yarns I recommend soaking it overnight with a cup of apple cider vinegar and then rinse out. This is what we did in the 1970s and 1980s when everything was rustic.
Interesting idea!!
Hi Selma!! I like both browns but I think the richer reddier one looks best on you. In my opinion anyway!! ❤️
I agree I like the richer color brown too.
I always enjoy your calming podcasts. I'm sitting here at home with a stress fracture to my right foot. I need to focus on some knitting to get through this. Always enjoy the scenery at the end. I think the darker brown would be great !
Richer brown definitely!
Hi Selma! I enjoyed your discussion of the ranunculus. I’m about to cast-on my second, and I’m going to try regular ribbing, instead of the twisted, as you have done. Also, I’ll look forward to seeing your finished Elorie! It’s on my list of things to knit, too. Beautiful design.
And what amazing barred owl footage at the end, there! Where was that taken, if you don’t mind me asking?
we don't have any yarn shops like that one where i live, woah ♡o♡
the ripple tank is beautiful! i'm a sucker for orange and also wear tiny shirts like that haha
OH MY GOSH that ranunculus is amazing. the design never appealed to me before now.
Really enjoying your episode🧶☕🥰 Lot's of inspiration! As always😃
Lovely podcast as always Selma 😊 I really liked the rich brown mohair with the Nutiden. Loved seeing the owl footage at the end 🤗🦉💕
My eyes widen 🤶 a Christmas MAL … yipppppppeeeeeee . Ashamed that I haven’t even attempted the Ranunculus cast on yet 😔 how about a future KAL for the sweater that you’re wearing?, I think it’s lovely. Must add the owl footage was awesome, well done 🦉
Glad you got to enjoy my neighbourhood Selma! Kim’s convenience lol! I’m Trying to enjoy every bit of the last remaining scraps of summer too. Your explanation of the Ranunculus sweater was enlightening. I guess I’m one of the few Ravellers who hasn’t knit one up yet. Take care of yourself. 🥰
Just swatching for my first Ranunculus! One strand of Manos Serena and a second of Rowan Kidsilk, first time since almost forever knitting with mohair! The Serena is I believe a sport to dk, so trying US 10 needles for lack of a better place to start! I have to say that your enthusiasm for this pattern has made me decide to do this as the original pattern photos aren’t my bag! Time will tell!
Per your swatch, I think I love the lighter cooler brown color, just lovely with your hair and coloring!
And the DuMaurier books I’d read and reread many years ago, love the Yorkshire moors!❤️🧶🍁
PS: just shared the 🦉 with my husband 👏
I just found your podcast and really enjoyed it. Beautiful knits. And the sound of the rain and thunder were so peaceful. I’ll be back for more episodes. Thanks.
The grey blue Elton will look so good on you, for your other sweater, I prefer the richer darker brown with your complexion.
Always so enjoy spending time with you, Selma! And, before this episode was over, you had me rummaging through my stash for yarn for another ranunculus. It really is just such a more-ish pattern, isn't it?
And I with you 😘😘 the ranunculus is definitely one of those that you want to repeat!! Can’t wait to see what colour your next one is!!
Selma loving your videos. I like the brown with the bobbles. Any color you make will be lovely on you. Thank you for the Ranunculus yarn talk. I am going to be doing my 3 rd soon. Thinking I will post my FO on your KAL. How is your son at University? Home has changed I am sure. Our 3 have all gone but when the first left the dynamics changed so much and I felt lost until Christmas holidays but when he returned after New Years it all seemed right.
Take care.
Hi Selma, always look forward to your videos! I liked looking around wabi sabi…. Neat store. Of course Barefoot McCoy is the best……Loved seeing the owl and the cat picture at the end! My cat Maury looks like your cat Yoda who I’ve seen several times. I have looked on Raverly as you suggested for the various yarn versions of the Renunculus ….will have to make one of those. Hope you have a great day, until we see you again.
I had the same problem with Elena Ferrante characters.
Unfortunately Italians are so negative and still very influenced by neo-realism that is a reality that my mom generation has lived for real and has marked all the people so strongly!
( I know I don’t look like , but I am Italian!)
I loved my cousin Rachel… I read it 30 years ago!
A good Italian book is the solitude of prime numbers by Paolo Giordano ( you can find it in the library in English)
Beautiful sweaters Selma
Besides your podcast a favorite is “A friend To Knit With” .. Leslie Friend
Hello Selma from Airdrie in Alberta. I think the darker, richer brown would look good on you. (The lighter is washing you out)And I agree that blue grey is your fabulous neutral. You can wear in any intensity of this colour. Light like in your summer top, medium like in your future project and I bet a darker steel blue would be great for you as well. Love your podcast as always, Cheers Kasia
I really love your ranunculus sweaters and thank you for sharing the Kallara pattern, it looks like such a lovely and wearable shape!
You make the most fabulous sweaters! I prefer the dark brown. I love the newel cardigan.
Hi Selma,
I would definitely go with the richer brown. I think it will make a beautiful sweater. I have three sqs of Nutiden that I want to use......
The richer, reddish brown mohair is flattering with your skin tone. It would be stunning on you.
I also can't wait to see your Elton once you're done. That has been on my To Do List for quite a while!
I'm waiting for some Rowan Felted Tweed to come in the mail tomorrow for my next Ranunculus, so I needed to see your v5! Lovely.
Enjoy your podcast. The reddish brown looks so nice on you. You have really encouraged me to make a ranunculus which will be my next sweater.
I vote for the richer brown. Just finished ranunculus no. 1, using Rowan felted tweed. There will be another. Maybe linen. I have yarn to do love note. So, I’ll see which I prefer.
Definitely go with the darker brown it gives a nice contrast to your hair. The beige brown make you look washed out. Happy knitting. ❤️
Love the darker of the two browns. Enjoyed your podcast. Keep up the good work. ☺️
I think you are amazing! I enjoy your podcasts sooooo much.....
I think the reddish brown would nicely compliment your skincolor and I so see why you love that bluish grey yarn, it's sooo pretty.
I think the lighter brown is much prettier, it seems to look better with your complexion.
lovely catch up as always with you Selma. grey blue is defo your colour and I can see why you are drawn to it but any of those three yarns will make a beautiful wearable garment .
35 seconds in and I want to visit WabiSabi with you 😊 Thanks for taking us along with you xx
Great episode, Selma! I’ve been getting into colour theory lately (perhaps to my detriment, but that’s another story…), so when you held the two browns up to your face, I really noticed a difference. When you held up the darker colour, I noticed more red tones in your skin, but when you held up the lighter one, your skin looked creamy, and your eyes more bright. Of course, that could also be how the camera is processing the colours. Oh, and I’m betting you will start a ranunculus tunic before the end of the year. 😆😆😆
I just love the lighter brown on you, but I have to say that blue is definitely your colour. I am so pleased I am not the only one that doesn't read the pattern properly, I had to tink 3 times last night just because I didn'r read it properly.
On the video I think the redder brown looks better with your skin than the beige brown.
The Ranunculus is a great sweater. It amazes me that one pattern fits so many sizes. I made a long sleeve one in worsted weight and another short sleeve one In a linen blend DK and used smaller needles to make it smaller. It also surprisingly uses a low amount of yards. I love it!
I love your Ranunculus sweaters. Love your podcasts thank you
Thanks. So enjoy your podcast for new project ideas. I always look forward to it!
I love the ‘red’ mohair with the brown. However, I would love to see you use the Knitting for Olive mohair in another project since I have seen you knit that color in many projects and they are all lovely. And, I agree, grey blue is your color!😊
Yippy🎉
I’ve been looking for someone to knit with…🥰
I love the Ranunculus. I made a short sleeve one in mercerized cotton for summer and I get a lot of wear out of it. Next one will be long sleeve in something cozy.
Dark brown looks best. Thanks for the inspiration once again.
I recently completed my 5th Ranunculus too- all thanks to starting my first inspired by your KAL 😀
That was fast!!! You are definitely on a roll!
I enjoy your podcast because you talk about several topics… and you are really a great knitter.
You are fast… but clearly you enjoy tue process
Super! Enjoyed that a lot. Lovely owl footage. What a treat.
Missing seeing Hawthorn Cottage videos. Hope everything is ok with Kate
Thank you for your lovely podcast. I like you in the red colour.💞
Thanks for sharing experience with the Ranunculus. I`m on my second one now 🤩 and I`m absolutely in love with the pattern and the possibillities for playing with yarn and knitting size. 😀🥰
And for the video from Toronto. How funny to see all the wiring with birds on. That sight you don`t see in Denmark anymore. All electricity wiring are in the underground now. In my childhood and yputh, it was in the air 🙃 and always with birds on the cables.
You have a inspiring podcast. Thanks 👏👍
Have you tried it without the Mohair, do you think it would work ok?
I like the 2nd brown swatch you showed. I am super late to the party but I will be joining the Ranunculus gang very soon.
Fashionably late!!! Or just in time, the party has just begun!
Yes definitely the richer brown ,the other one looks nondescript 🥰
I watched the Elena Ferrante series and loved it and then read the books. Enjoyed the books but they do take a bit of thinking mostly because there are so many characters it was hard to keep track of all the interrelationships. Like you I don’t understand the friendship. It’s so competitive and destructive in so many ways.
In fact, I had someone like Lila in my life. She reminds me of her so much but I dropped her quite happily!! Such weird and unnecessary ugly energy!
I'm a little late but I think the richer redder brown looks best on you!!
I like the richer brown Selma. Want to say you have inspired me to make the Exploration Station shawl and my yarn arrived today. Love your podcast.
Wonderful!! It’s a fun knit!!
Selma, te recomiendo "The House on the Strand" by De Maurier...buen suspenso! Gracias por otro interesante vídeo
Gracias!!!
Big Thanks, Selma! 🧶🥰🤩
I so enjoyed spending time with you again Selma. I think your choices in knitwear style suit me too, and you always make me want to cast on all of them!
I knitted the ranunculus in Rowan felted tweed, I have one on the needles in Lettlopi, and now I want a white one! … and I have had some Bendigo Woollen Mill natural merino worsted weight in my stash for a long time which I think could make a tunic! Yours is just gorgeous, and I’m sure your friend will be delighted to have it. I think the rich dark brown with the Nutiden would make a beautiful moody sweater for winter and would suit your colouring. Thanks again for an interesting and inspiring podcast.
The ranunculus tunic!! Go for it!
Either a bright blue or burgundy would look great on you!
So nice to see you again and spend a bit of knitting time while I watched/listened to the episode. I’m off to explore the Renunculus thread and Renunculus Ravelry page to get up the courage to start my own. Until the bext time. Salam wa sa’aadah
Salaam to you Linda! Join us on the ranunculus train!!
I also think the lighter brown on you will be nice, with your hair.
Yesterday I was few hours on ravelry looking for ranunucolos pictuers, looking for different kind of wool.
( Didn't find the group yet.)
Your friend will be happy to get this stunning white ranunuculus.
See the link in the show notes below 👇 you can find the group that way
@@littlebigknits
I tried, have some technology problems (it's not easy for me),I wish I'll find help with it (someone in my erea).
Thanks Selma, I will watch you on UT
love the blues and browns for mohair.
So funny...when you said "I think we need a song for this," the first song to pop into my mind was exactly "Mambo #5" (which I totally love).
Definitely the lighter brown for you!
Reddish brown combo is lovely
Ranunculus Dress is a fantastic idea!! 👍
Does anyone know if Kate at Hawthorne Cottage is alright or is still podcasting. I miss her podcast which has not been on for over 2 months.
She is doing fine. She is not podcasting these days as there is a lot going on at the moment. I’m sure she will be back at some point. 😊
The reddish brown suits you better 🙂
Always enjoy UR podcasts,,and learn so much,,Thanks so much,Selma!
Elaine😍🏡🏡
Greetings from South Australia. Doing catch up on your podcasts. Thank you for the Ranunculus tips. Im researching before diving into doing it. Use up my stash. But not sure, being a size 10-12, whether 514g is going to be enough yarn in an 8ply. But dont want it too loose a tension. Thank you for the book recommendations.
You will need about 800 yards for a long sleeved one and about 500 max for a short sleeved one
@@littlebigknits Many thanks. Im 200 yards too short. Might have to do from the bust down in either a similar matched yarn or a contrast. I have also been watching Fabrications Ottowa. The girls have a series of podcasts going through the different stitches in the Ranunculus.
Contente de vous connaître, enfin quelqu’un du Canada
कहां से ये ऊन मिलेगे। कैसे मिलेगे।
Is the kal still going? I could really use some help with the Ranunculus pattern
It isn’t going anymore. Feel free to write me on Ravelry or Instagram and I will do what I can to help. 😊
This is my first visit to your channel. The Ranunculus #5 caught my eye. I'm just about to start my first Ranunculus. We're in lockdown so I'm waiting for my yarn to be delivered. Enjoyed your chat.
Funny how we seems to like the same things and knitting. I`we knitted 3 Flex tops,and 5 Ranunculus.(5 of them is gifted)My last knit was M.Isagers "Solen" the small version.
I also share the love of linnenyarn. I agree your opinion on E.Ferrantes book. Nr 1 was ok,but struggled with nr 2. I might see the film, and try again for the book. Love your podcasts. Greetings from Northern Norway. (i also like the lighter brown)💖
I love that owl catching a meal.
I like the richer brown
Just want to mention as many others have. I so DO appreciate the time and effort you take to Put info/notes in text with links under your videos. It is so nice not to have to hunt down things or try and find the links/purchase info . Thank You for saving me time . I did order the Chicken mug 'Gertie' you showcase.. I could not resist... just makes me smile. Much enjoy your Podcast. Thank You from Wisconsin. Sibl .
I ALWAYS enjoy your podcast so much, thank you! Either brown would look lovely on you.
Hi Selma thank you for another lovely podcast. So good to catch up with your makes, wips and wishes. The Elton cardigan looks like a lovely knit in the silver grey. They are fantastic shots of the owl. Really enjoyed it . Take care and happy knitting 🧶❤️😊
I like the richer brown!
Thank you for always inspiring, Selma! ❤️ Red color mohair looks awesome and it suits you perfectly!
Thank you for yet another fantastic podcast! With all the projects and yarns you talk about I can't help it....I just have to drop everything and sit down to knit, knit, knit! I love the golden color in your Elorie! As for your brown yarns, I'd go for the cocoa brown. It's like hot chocolate, perfect for winter days!
Hello Selma, you are kind of a antistress medicine to me!😄 I love watching you. I prefere the lighter brown ☺ I'm glad you aporeciate something from Italy🌞 big hug!
I love your podcast, and this episode is wonderful! Thank you from Elin in Norway 🤗.
I do like the notes below the video because I like to link over to the patterns, stores. etc. I like the lighter color brown for your swatch. good luck chosing!
Sitting here in quarantine and up popped your new podcast - what fabulous timing - new cast on on my needles and a great show to watch - fire burning and raining outside as we experience the last of winter (in spring) here in south west Australia. love the darker brown on you!
I like the reddish brown it enhances your complexion
ps..... Thank you for taking me to Toronto ! HUGE lover of Owls - The Great Gray !!! What FAAAABULOUS footage indeed !!!!! That was AWESOME !!!!!! marcia
Glad you enjoyed it!!
