Me too, with the stripes, as I love fun colours. I actually prefer the sleeve of the striped sweater. What did you do for that one that's different from the released pattern? ❤@@meeshyfrazzknits
@@corinnewatson3753 At a certain point in the pattern, you go from all-over increases on the raglan to just increases on the front and back. The only difference between the two is that I stopped the sleeve incs on the final pattern I think 2 inc rounds earlier!
Try using a tablespoon of Baking soda washing your white/cream colored socks. They will whiten because it is a natural substance that will break down the oils from your feet. Hope you try it. Also will soften your natural fibers i.e. wools. Ms. Jo
Loved so much this episode! You bring informations that are different from other and so interesting! Your projects are beautiful too!❤❤ Happy New Year to you!
just for the giggles I went to my Ravelry to see my stats. 11 pair of socks, 7 accessories and a baby blanket and 10 garments. Last year I had this idea of knitting a pair of socks a month, it was fun. Now I really want to use all my stash because it is growing without much plan 😢
I love Cascade Heritage sock yarn, and it is a superwash. I will be knitting all of my future sock pattern samples in it and also a hand dyed version because it's a great option. My favorite things I knit this year were a handspun Trove sweater and a Traveler Hoodie.
Your last two sweaters are so beautiful they make me want to knit them, but I know I don’t tend to wear anything heavier than DK. I knit a cardigan this year in unspun and learned never again. It’s beautiful but the experience was terrible and not enjoyable at all. If I thought I could have frogged it without tossing it in the trash, I would have. My favorite and most worn knits are socks (cause I love sock knitting - it is my happy place) and fingering weight, top down sweaters.
There is also a Robinia light pattern. My friend just knitted it with Isager Merilin which is a fingering weight yarn. That pattern has a 23 sts gauge so I think it´s quite doable with a fingering or sport weight yarn. And it´s not like it´s all stranded knitting but there´s always several rows with just one yarn so it´s not going to be that thick.
That's definitely understandable. I will say, the Illimani Amelie I used for the Robinia feels quite light for the weight of the yarn, but definitely get it if you prefer to knit on smaller needles!
I felt so inspired by your Everyday Attitude Tee because it feels like the perfect project to use leftover yarn. However, when I took a closer look at the pattern page, I realized am not a big fan of the stripes warping upwards around the neckline and I'm not sure how to modify that. 😞
I also got inspired of it. I think it might help if the neckband is not pulling the stripes. The sample is knit with 100% linen so that might not give up at all so that might cause that pulling more than knitting with something with some merino content in the yarn. I´m not sure if that has anything to do with it. It is important to have the right amount of stitches picked up for the neckband.
Your sweaters all look so comfortable and every single one looks great on you! Thanks for sharing your year.
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful collection and I just love all the colors! The colors are definitely perfect for my skin color palette.
Thank you!! So glad you like the color palette!
Love all of your knits Michelle! My next knit wish is the Prismatic Sweater I love it!
Oh thank you so much!! That's wonderful to hear 😍

Such a productive year! I need to put the Prismatic Sweater in my cart to try and get to by end of the year.
It really was! I'd love to see your progress 😊

sitting down with my weekender crew to watch this - maybe i’ll get this collar done by the end of the video
Aw that's great! I hope you finished it, this video is definitely long enough for it 🤣

That's fantastic! I just love to see the breakdown at the end of the year. Dealing with leftover stash is always so tricky, I'm in the same boat.
Still love that red sweater 😂😂😂
Haha me too!!

It's just such a great sock yarn, I completely agree. The Traveler Hoodie is on my list, it's such a fun looking pattern!
8:30 Im not watching the sleeve 😊😻
Haha the sleeve is far less entertaining!

This is great advice! The Robinia Light is a really good alternative.
@@heline9469 I just checked that out and saw the tee version which is fingering.
What is the yarn name for the Robina sweater. Great podcast. First time I’ve found you.
Thanks! The yarn I used is Illimani Amelie in the colors Hunter & Bone.

It definitely looks much different flay lay than it does when wearing it, but agree that it's an unusual construction for sure.

Didn't you knit the cardigan, that sits on the gine "doll" behind you in 2024?😉
I actually knit that back in 2022!
