Just found your podcast and really enjoy watching you. I just came back from being in Nashville for 5 days and visited Haus of yarns. I was so excited to find the store and can’t wait to knit with all the Nashville yarn I got. I show the yarn on my last podcast episode. I loved Nashville. So glad I found your podcast ❤
I love the ‘nerdy’ knitting talk - thank you. I love seeking out interesting yarns and learning more. I live in Melbourne Australia and my husband John is a Southerner. Copenhagen airport has the most beautiful parquet floor. A good Norwegian breakfast will keep you going for sometime and yummy. G-uld is a wonderful place to visit and the wool is heavenly. Happy travels ❤
Love your podcast..looking forward to hear about your trip and see all the yarn you purchased. Take a foldable bag for yarn...put it under your airplane seat. Not sure how much postage would be to mail it.
Thank youuuu!!! Yes, I think this is my plan but then I think I’ll also take some of those compression bags to cram as much yarn in there as possible!!!!!!!!
Like your video very much! Nice projects! I don`t like knitting bottom up either... Did it just in my Síðsumarskápa. I then always do a provisional cast on at the sleeves and start after the ribbing. When I try the finihed garment, I can pick up the stitches and knit a few rounds more and then do the ribbing till it is perfect. when I first tried on my Síðsumarskápa, the bodylength was too long. 🤐 Because of the colourwork I had to do surgery and put the stitches on a needle and removed 10 cm and put it together again with kitchener stitch. Very annoying, but now the length is perfect! But I think a provisional cast on is the best for bottom up. Greetings from Hamburg in Germany Nicola
Yes! I was thinking about a provisional cast on for my next bottom up knit. I think it will really help me judge the length better. I imagine it would make it much easier to adjust.
I was watching whilst knitting a swatch. I don't normally knit swatches, it really depends on what I'm knitting. Aside from ensuring a good fit of the final piece. I find knitting swatches can help on colour choice, as well as practicing unknown stitch pattern. Both is what I'm doing unsure of my original colour, so swatching that plus two additional colours, plus practicing the fisherman's rib, as I haven't knitted in the stitch below previously.
I actually really enjoy swatching. I tend to swatch if my current project feels a bit stale. That way I get a little taste of something else and I’m ready to roll on the next cast on straight away!
Copenhagen! Norway! I will admit to being jealous, here. Have a wonderful trip and we will look forward to hearing all about your yarny adventures when you return. 😊 I am currently knitting an all-over colour work sweater in Cascade 220 Fingering, but no hard feelings! 😂
I’m sooooo excited to watch your other podcasts to hear about your trip and the trips to the yarn shops. I bet it was so exciting to visit Knitting for Olive ❤
I just so love all the beautiful garments you are making. I hope you have a wonderful trip! I am so excited about all the yarny goodness you are going to get to see! I have my fingers crossed that my dear husband and I will be able to make a dream trip next year to Germany for 4 weeks! Our son is stationed there and there is so much I want to see! Architecture, history and of course all things yarn and knitting!
First of your podcasts I watched and really enjoyed it. I look forward to more of your podcasts. Really enjoyed the pattern by a specific type (saddle shoulder).. always love new inspirations.
Thanks for popping in, Liz! As my friend Tina mentioned in an early episode comment, it’s easy to get stuck in a pattern feedback loop. I think I’ll make the pattern highlights a regular fixture on the channel. Hope you’ll subscribe and be back next time!!
Hi from Norway! I lived in all the cities you are going to. Tromsø has turned into quite a tourist trap, I've heard, but still the most beautiful. I recommend the small isles of the Oslofjord (easy access) and generally out of the centres. If you haven't watched The Strikkechick podcast (Tromsø), I really recommend her! The parks in Oslo will be nice this time of year (Vigeland and St.Hanshaugen among others). I hope you have a very nice trip!
My husband chose Tromsø. I was hoping he would choose Trondheim or the Lofoten Islands. But you know what, I’m just excited to see ANYTHING ANYWHERE. I have Vigeland on my list but I hadn’t heard of St. Hanshaugen. Thanks for the recommendations! I will look it up.
That Joanna Ang jumper is beautiful! I'll definitely explore more of her patterns in the future. I've never knit a saddle shoulder construction, but I really like how that fits. Don't apologise for showing too many FOs, it's very motivating. I'll definitely try the steam-iron trick for buttonbands in the future - it's such a pain to pick up stitches when the stockinette curls. Lovely podcast, I hope you have a wonderful time in Norway!
Well you inspired me to put it on. Her patterns are just wonderful. I’m so glad I thought to steam block it. I’m not even quite sure why I did other than that I was trying to measure for my button holes and got annoyed with the edge rolling. It will definitely become my go to technique before I pickup stitches from now on.
Cant wait to hear about your amazing traveling adventures! My dream is to hit up all those yarn shops. Love all your knits. Was so looking forward to another video from you. Such a breath of fresh air. ❤
Oh Thanks Stacy!! You’re so kind. Yes, I will try to remember to take some good photos/videos of the shops to share with you! That is if I’m not too overwhelmed with awe and joy.
This was very inspiring, which is what I prize the most in podcasts. I liked your collection of saddle shoulder suggestions. I can't wait to hear more about your trip when you return.
Love the shoulder and arm detail of your Koyamae Pullover and Three Days cardigan. Do you have any advice for knitting cables for the first time? Have fun on your trip! 💜
Thank you!! I’d say (1) pick a small project. My first was a beanie. (2) try both with and without a cable needle to see which you’d like best. (3) use a wool with some good grip to it… avoid a superwash or alpaca . A lot of people like a really round wool for cables but I’ve found I prefer a woolen spun yarn with some loftiness.
Love your podcasts and you have inspired me to make the Joanna Ang sweater. I have nutiden in my stash waiting to be used. Enjoy Copenhagen. It’s a delightful city.
How wonderful, Silvia!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Joanna Ang is a force. You won’t be sorry. Do you think you will cast on the Koyamae or one of the others?
I am excited for you about your trip!!! I hope you’ll take lots of videos and pics to share on your next episode! Maybe a mini episode on location! Safe travels and happy knitting!
Thanks for your fun podcast! I love your color choices 😍 I also have trouble finding the right cotton yarn to work with, very curious on your experiences with those options you showed. Maybe you could do a mini episode on summer yarn choices😁😁
My condolences on the tragedy the Nashville community has shared recently. A wonderful beginning to your new channel. You will be very popular I’m sure.
Thank you Carla! I wasn’t sure how to really speak to that in this setting. But I appreciate your acknowledgment. Our city is grieving and hurting in so many ways right now. What can sometimes feel impersonal is really not so much. Thanks for spending some time with me!
I love your small vertices unite! What a great idea for a smaller scarf. How many stitches did you knit to in section 1? Appreciate your input. Thank you.
Hi Hailey, can u tell me what style you knit in? English style? Picking style? Or flicking? Love your podcast style however you knit. Much love from Shetland xxx❤
@@Knitweekend yes! My gauge and yours are very different…I’m using dk cotton US 4 co61 st i got gauge though… hope it will fit I’m making size 4 . Thank you very much for your reply
Hailey, have you met Bethany of @well.lovedknits? I am sorry if this seems weird, but it’s like you two gingers should for some reason!! 😊 Love your pixie hair cut!
Hi, Nancy from NJ here. Just a tip for bottom up sweater length. Measure a sweater/shirt that you like the fit of and knit to that length.
Just found your podcast and really enjoy watching you. I just came back from being in Nashville for 5 days and visited Haus of yarns. I was so excited to find the store and can’t wait to knit with all the Nashville yarn I got. I show the yarn on my last podcast episode. I loved Nashville. So glad I found your podcast ❤
Just recently found your podcast and really enjoy your knits. I look forward to hearing about your trip and acquisitions.
Pima Soft by Berroco is lovely

Oh, and I am traveling to Norway in July!!! 🇳🇴
That’s fantastic! I’m very much looking forward to our visit.

Oh I hope you can as well!! We haven’t done much in the way of travel. I hope this is the start for us!!

When storing yarn, use some sort of bag that you can remove all the air out of. That is how I store my yarn in my house.
That was my thought as well! Might be worth a try!
Yes, I have some of these for my clothes. But you’re right, I should clearly purchase more for the yarnnnnn!!!!!
That Joanna Ang jumper is beautiful! I'll definitely explore more of her patterns in the future. I've never knit a saddle shoulder construction, but I really like how that fits.

Thank so much on both!!

I love your small vertices unite! What a great idea for a smaller scarf. How many stitches did you knit to in section 1? Appreciate your input. Thank you.
Thank you! In section 1 I knitted exactly to pattern for the small size. It was section 2 that I just went with whatever I ended up with. 🫣
Vacuum seal that yarn! I've fit sooo much yarn in suitcases that way lol
Hi Hailey, can u tell me what style you knit in? English style? Picking style? Or flicking? Love your podcast style however you knit. Much love from Shetland xxx❤
Hi! I knit English style. I know it’s not as efficient but my tension is so even and nice.
Hi Hailey, I’m wondering on the Incrid top can you show yours in your next video? Thanks! Btw love your videos
Hi Annie! Yes, I will. Are you talking about the Ingrid Top with the eyelet lace pattern?
@@Knitweekend yes! My gauge and yours are very different…I’m using dk cotton US 4 co61 st i got gauge though… hope it will fit I’m making size 4 . Thank you very much for your reply
Watching you while knitting with Cascade 220 😂😂
And I love cables. But we can still be friends. 😆🤗
Hailey, have you met Bethany of @well.lovedknits? I am sorry if this seems weird, but it’s like you two gingers should for some reason!! 😊
Love your pixie hair cut!
Well I do not know her personally but I do follow her here and on Instagram. I do enjoy her content quite a bit!
