My hot take on knitting podcasts is most of them are boring and repetitive, I like the vlogs more and your vibes are much more inspiring to craft along❤😊

I DO like knitting podcasts, but I am very picky, and all the ones I follow are personalities I enjoy, and often have similar taste in aesthetics to me. I did follow you specifically because I too am a chaos goblin, and I enjoy your energy~
So weird - I had lost the whole knitting podcast interest & never thought about why. Except that I got tired of constant talks about things they bought or the latest popular sweater trend. But I love your more vlog style, combined with your fabulous humor and the fibery yarny spinny woolly all things Adventures. I also love the historical side of it & the whole chaos goblin …hard to put into words, but I always feel charged up and inspired & ready to go forth & find my own adventures!! (& thanks to you, I invested in my own supported spindles and even have a shell…. now to try them. And who cares if it isn’t perfect! This is where I need more chaos goblin in my life…. I can hear you almost, saying, «Yeah, just do it!! Have FUN!!» 🥰😂💪🏻 )
One person, I don't know whether she'd call herself a podcaster or not, really turned me off by being so negative. I think it was the, "So many of the patterns these days are ugly," that was the reason I stopped watching any content she made. 'Ugly' is really subjective. Change the colour or the type of yarn or put it on a person with a different figure or make some fairly simple alterations and a knitted piece might well go from 'ugly' to looks great. And if you're browsing through Ravelry or where ever, you do have the option of passing over the patterns you don't like and picking the ones you do. If you don't like modern patterns, search out vintage patterns or design your own patterns.
I love the result! And I do think it would look a bit nicer cropped. But perhaps that's because I love cropped garments and so it's a style I'm drawn to :)
I love it!!! I'm an old lady and I almost want to make one like it for myself! You're so wonderfully refreshing. I have been watching you for a couple years now and you have gradually become my very favorite TH-camr. You're genuine, super intelligent (hence your creativity and independent thinking), self-confident; but most of all you have grateful heart as you joyfully follow the path that God Almighty has made for you.
I absolutely LOVE the chaos goblin home made merch! Now I definitely need to go searching through my cupboards to find something to customise with the Chaos Goblin caption. Then I need to figure out how to customise it. Embroidery? Appliqué? Iron-on lettering? Duplicate stitching? A combination? Mmmmmmm… About your iteration and its length: you need to feel happy wearing it. I like how this length accentuates your waist, but that’s MY preference. What matters, is the length that would cause you to get the most wear out of your garment. What you feel happy and beautiful and comfortable in. I love how you styled it, and the yarn positively shines in it. To all the Chaos Goblins out there, let’s have some awesome fun and hop on to the train of fibre shenanigans for home made merch. About knitting podcasts: personally, not my thing. But that’s what makes the world such a weird and wonderful place: there’s something for everyone. About celebrating your 5000 subscribers: congratulations, you’ve passed the 5600 mark as I’ve watched this. Lurkers, what are you waiting for?
Congrats on the 5,000 subs! I love the idea of simply calling upon your community to make their own merch, it feels very fitting for the handmade, slow fashion, room for chaos niche that your channel itself sits in.
Schitterend - beautiful end product but I agree shorten it to your style - you know what suits you best and what it takes for it to become a part of your wardrobe.
I think the length looks great, because the split lands at your natural waist, and it enough of an indicator, as in "it does it's job of defining the waist in one way of another" ^^, not as in "you don't need more defining"
Congratulations on 5000 subscribers. I'm a knitter who found your channel during tour de fleece. I bought myself an Ashford spinning wheel and can't wait to start learning to spin once it arrives
Really enjoyed your "not a knitting podcast" shenanigans … 😜 Love the idea of having fun with duplicate stitch! That is sooooo cool! Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on the 5000+ subscribers! Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊 Looking forward to your next episode … hugs from Down Under … 🥰🌴🌴🌴
Hi Mijn, this is my second of your videos. Support spindles spinning octarine yarn sent me here. Autumnal experimental silk blend handspun knitting kept me going. Wonky duplicate stitch as a feature, not a bug = bonus. I shall return.
Hi, since you're new: let me introduce myself. My name is actually not Mijn, but Jente. But of course, that's what I get for having a Dutch channel name and English content ;) Mijn Wolden is a Dutch play on words with 'my walden' and 'wool'.
@@MijnWolden Thank you! I've continued to watch and I think it took about 5 seconds after I replied to see my error! But thanks for taking the time to correct me. It's a beautiful name for a channel and it gave me the excuse to travel a mini-language-rabbit hole. :)
I definitely think cropped will be best! Absolutely love the idea of having others make their own "merch" if they feel so inclined, it really makes me want to put this on something of my own hahaha - ideally with handspun... Tho it might take a while before I get to do that, I'm new to garments and currently in the middle of a westknits sweater :)
Thank you so much for this. I love all your shows but seeing how to actually “knit the back yoke then continue on” mad nonsense to me. Seeing you knit this the way you did answered my questions and makes me think I just might buy this pattern after all. Or one like it. Many thanks for another fun video.
Personally I love it that length as it accentuates your waist. Also if you mainly wear cropped tops it will be a change to have something different. Thanks for all your content 🧶🧶🧶
I think shortening it would work well, it would make it more 'Jente' (as far as a stranger on the internet can say anything about whether something is you or not). I find your video's much more interesting than most knitting podcasts. I'll sometimes go through phases where I do watch them because I need something that takes absolutely zero effort to watch, but most of the time I too find them boring. I prefer vlog-style video's where something actually happens!
Totally agree about knitting podcasts! I only watch 2 on the regular (knittynatty and Roxanne Richardson) but I always skip through to the bits that interest me
The deep armholes are giving a medieval surcot vibe. I like it. Like some of the others, I think the shape as it is with the slits at the side are flattering for your figure. Cropping it shorter visually or otherwise shortens your torso. The yarn came out beautifully and the vest looks great. As always, I love your sense of adventure. I saw the video of you sipping this yarn. I have a dive in attitude towards crafting as well, but you make me look ultra cautious. 💗💗💗
I love it! Your goblin poses were on point by the way. The yarn color way is reading more of a warm fox brown than a boring beige and it is scrumptious 🧌🧶
700 is big! The first 1000 are the hardest I find. I was just over 2.5K at the beginning of the year. I think it's some kind of psychology of numbers. Once people see the K with the subscribers they might be more inclined to subscribe themselves, because "this person is loved by many others, so they must be good right?"
@MijnWolden I told my son that once I hit 1,000 I will feel like a true youtuber 😅 I was at 300 at the beginning of the year, it took 2 years to get there and less then a year to more then double it, so not bad
You could shorten it, or tuck it. But the shape is a bit off. The large arms eyes feel like a baggy tank top that doesn’t suit it with its length and high neckline. A lot of your style is cropped, but it suits you. I’d say it either needs to be shorter or it needs sleeves. Or both. But it is your garment and you look lovely whether or not the sweater helps. The choice is yours, but I would love to see what you end up doing
Do not make it shorter. Wear a belt at waist to visually shorten it. I also see big sleeves added (leave the rib around the arm, cast on under) because this could be your adventure hiking / spinning sweater....like your Mom's. I have a pot of chrysanthemum dye for some hand spun as I write. I wish I could show you my latest dye experiments.
Love your top try the belt as you often wear belts anyway and the uneven words add to the vibe I don’t like brown as with my grey hair it washes me out but that is really not brown and your cupcake skirt looked fantastic. Time I went back to wearing skirts ,but I really don’t need new clothes so maybe not. Since I have finished work I have hardly bought any clothes and since I wore a type of uniform at work black bottoms white tops did not buy much then , so maybe just finish off my knitting projects on the go and I am off today to pick up my new inkle loom, have three but am getting an Ashford the bigger one. Couldn’t get it second hand did try. And tomorrow of course one will come up second hand, isint that the way it works. Two of mine are home made and have faults with them they still work but hey more is better right.
Have fun with your new inkle loom. I wish I EDIT: -knew what happened to- had (end edit) Mum's inkle loom, she made herself one when she was learning to spin and weave but in between a (very necessary) divorce and several moves it was lost, stolen or strayed.
I agree on cropping it, though I will point out that part of the way it fits is just the nature of a bulkier knit at your gauge. Still, I think it's adorable, and I LOVE the Chaos Goblin stitching. (Are you doing Socktober? IDK what craftsnark says about it, but I'm doing it, and I WAS hoping to finish more than one pair of socks...alas.)
I like knitting podcasts that are more vlog style, so they're maybe made up of little sections filmed over a period of time. Or have a mix of stuff. But I don't actually watch that many "pure" knitting podcasts now!
Chaos content is the best kind. I do fine up to 10mm needles. Bigger is definitely awkward. I've definitely told you before but I have trouble with tiny needles, my hands will not cooperate. Probably just the universal truth that what you're used to is easier. The pain of realizing you did something backwards and have to start over. The final result is lovely though!!
I like the length of the slipover, have you tried it over a dress or jeans? Now I need to find something to embroider cause man... I'm chaos incarnate haha
Do you have a video on or a link to the pattern for the pink top you're wearing? It's very cute and I've been looking for something similar! I am obviously assuming you knit it after "knowing" you for the past year hahah 😅
I say crop it. That is what is bothering me about it. I do love the color with your blouse. Pulls that yellow out of the yarn nicely and it no long reads as brown.
Girrrl! Those aren't knitting needles, they're tree trunks! (From team English gauge 14 - 10, or European 2 - about 3.75 mm needles.) I was hoping you'd win at yarn chicken and not need to spin more. I love the gold flecks in the finished knit against the more sombre tones. And the slightly chaotic "CHAOS GOBLIN" is the only way to embroider it. I actually like the slightly longer top, my inclination would be to finish the side seams and after that you can wear the top as is or tuck the bottom up a little to give it the cropped look.
I'm not like the other knitting youtubers; I'm a goblin. You could do chaotic knitting/crochet patterns as merch, or lists of fun things to dye/spin with if you wanted to make more digital content to purchase/for free as merch
I think that, in honor of the whole Brown-petit-knit-chaos-goblin vibe, you should style it with a very demure French-tuck at the waist. (Or is that a Flemish tuck?)
I'm relatively new to knitting so I may not be observing correctly (and also this may be answered in another video I haven't seen!) but it looks like you're knitting into the back loop and also that your stitches are all twisted? 🤔 I'm really curious about this, because it seems to me that those can't both be true all the time, because when you knit a twisted stitch through the back loop, they untwist?? Maybe?? lol Anyway, I love the chaos goblin energy of "I embroidered chaos goblin but on the wrong side" 🤣 A+ no notes!
I think you did actually pick up on the technique, which is called Eastern uncrossed knitting! The stitches are knit into the back leg/loop because they are mounted on the needle differently, so knitting into the "back" leg actually uncrosses them, resulting in normal/untwisted knitting! It's pretty cool, and not a super well known technique (at least on the internet), but worth looking into if you're interested in that kind of thing :D
@@nony_mation Hi! If you watch other videos Yente has posted on her channel, you’ll find out she does indeed knit through the back loop and talks about it. Well observed!
I do knit through the backloops! Eastern uncrossed is what happens after you've been only crocheting for years and then think "well, I learned how to knit when I was six, I should still know how it works"... If you want a more in depth look: in my "This is your sign to knit something that makes you happy" video I talk about how I do it, and in "Do I knit wrong?" about the history and technicalities of this style of knitting.
That turned out really cute, your yarn absolutely shines in that vest! As to the length - I like the current length, but you're the one who gets to wear it and thus the only one whose taste it needs to match ;) if it joins some other similar-length garments, so what? It's still unique! Also I'm really glad you don't do knitting "podcasts", most of them are utterly boring for me as well. And I take serious offense at that video format misusing the word "podcast", those are audio-only, or at the very least audio-first formats, grrrrrrr. (to be clear, I have no beef with those knitting update videos themselves, they may not be my taste but they don't need to be. it's just that they ... use a word wrong, lol, and my autistic ass absolutely cannot deal with that) I love the idea of making our own merch, that's brilliant!
Yes! I do find it slightly aggravating when people call something a "podcast" when it's not really a podcast. As a friend said to me, "Words have meanings!"
And if they were video you could just listen to in the background, it might have been fine, but most of them just refer to 'this' and 'that' while pointing at stuff making it necessary to look at them without any visual engaging stuff...
My main problem with people on social media using so many petite knit patterns is with the designer honestly. Its really frustrating to me that she has sizing up to 4xl, but she is the only model in the project photos. It makes it so inaccessible to know what her designs look like on a different body type without doing more research and it just turns me off from making petitie knit patterns. I have no idea what they look like on a curvy body and that frustrates me to no end
I have quite a bit of skinny privilege, so mostly I can knit the smaller sizes. But I have a feeling with especially Petite Knit's designs that they are designed for people with a petite chest (like her), and while I have skinny privileges, I do not have small chest privileges, and a lot of me not being entirely alright with the shape of this garment has probably to do with that. This was not designed with a (slightly) larger chest in mind.
Watching this while unraveling a moth-damaged orange sweater for an autumn project of some sort.... For future reference, no shade on your excellent, idiomatic English- mediocrity.
What an absurdly chaotic idea, having your fans make their own merch! I. Love. It.
My hot take on knitting podcasts is most of them are boring and repetitive, I like the vlogs more and your vibes are much more inspiring to craft along❤😊
Not to toot my own horn, but I think you're right 😂
I enjoy your videos the most you do keep them interesting . Keep it up its great thank you.
I love the length. The vest is wonderful. The yarn and the pattern are great!
Thanks!
"this isn't your typical brown" no no this is chaos brown! :P hehe
I'll have to use that chart on a project! :D
Just adding chaos to everything is my vibe indeed

'Ugly' is really subjective.

I think the yarn gets lost with the addition of the lettering, personally. Fun and entertaining process!
Whatever your channel is, it’s my favourite channel. Always something interesting to learn.
Awh thank you

Yeah!! We can make our own merch now!! 🥳😄
Would be really cool to see you make something with it :D
@@MijnWolden I may or may not have plans for this chart 😏😁😂
LOVE the vest 🤩If I were you I would keep the length, it accentuates your waist. Love the "chaos goblin". Great job !!!
Schitterend - beautiful end product but I agree shorten it to your style - you know what suits you best and what it takes for it to become a part of your wardrobe.
Yessss!!! Cropped it! It will be perfect a little bit shorter 😊
Love the cupcake skirt/dress. Yes, shorten it.
I think the length looks great, because the split lands at your natural waist, and it enough of an indicator, as in "it does it's job of defining the waist in one way of another" ^^, not as in "you don't need more defining"
This is awesome. I like the length of the vest but the question is whether you will wear it (and, of course, that's all up to you 😉).
I am wearing it as we speak and I have up until now not cropped it. Still thinking about it haha

So your Chaos is a little chaotic, I love it! I am excited I just hit 700, congrats on 5,000.
700 is big! The first 1000 are the hardest I find. I was just over 2.5K at the beginning of the year. I think it's some kind of psychology of numbers. Once people see the K with the subscribers they might be more inclined to subscribe themselves, because "this person is loved by many others, so they must be good right?"
@MijnWolden I told my son that once I hit 1,000 I will feel like a true youtuber 😅 I was at 300 at the beginning of the year, it took 2 years to get there and less then a year to more then double it, so not bad
Omg!!! I went to bed last night trying to come up with something new to knit and I wake up to your video! I wanna make our merch too!

Girrrl! Those aren't knitting needles, they're tree trunks! (From team English gauge 14 - 10, or European 2 - about 3.75 mm needles.)
I was hoping you'd win at yarn chicken and not need to spin more. I love the gold flecks in the finished knit against the more sombre tones. And the slightly chaotic "CHAOS GOBLIN" is the only way to embroider it. I actually like the slightly longer top, my inclination would be to finish the side seams and after that you can wear the top as is or tuck the bottom up a little to give it the cropped look.
Tree trunks hahaha :D
I'm not like the other knitting youtubers; I'm a goblin. You could do chaotic knitting/crochet patterns as merch, or lists of fun things to dye/spin with if you wanted to make more digital content to purchase/for free as merch
So, exactly as I'm already doing then? ;)
@@MijnWolden I may not be a goblin, but I am still a dumbass lol. I was thinking pdfs. Ya gal loves a pdf
Merch haul!
Leaving it draped on the couch for my husband to see when he wakes up? ;)
@@MijnWolden he'll be so impressed!
I think that, in honor of the whole Brown-petit-knit-chaos-goblin vibe, you should style it with a very demure French-tuck at the waist.
(Or is that a Flemish tuck?)
hahaha, yes that would be peak
I'm relatively new to knitting so I may not be observing correctly (and also this may be answered in another video I haven't seen!) but it looks like you're knitting into the back loop and also that your stitches are all twisted? 🤔 I'm really curious about this, because it seems to me that those can't both be true all the time, because when you knit a twisted stitch through the back loop, they untwist?? Maybe?? lol
Anyway, I love the chaos goblin energy of "I embroidered chaos goblin but on the wrong side" 🤣 A+ no notes!
I think you did actually pick up on the technique, which is called Eastern uncrossed knitting! The stitches are knit into the back leg/loop because they are mounted on the needle differently, so knitting into the "back" leg actually uncrosses them, resulting in normal/untwisted knitting! It's pretty cool, and not a super well known technique (at least on the internet), but worth looking into if you're interested in that kind of thing :D

Hi! If you watch other videos Yente has posted on her channel, you’ll find out she does indeed knit through the back loop and talks about it. Well observed!
I do knit through the backloops! Eastern uncrossed is what happens after you've been only crocheting for years and then think "well, I learned how to knit when I was six, I should still know how it works"... If you want a more in depth look: in my "This is your sign to knit something that makes you happy" video I talk about how I do it, and in "Do I knit wrong?" about the history and technicalities of this style of knitting.
@@MijnWolden Thank you so much for the explanation, and for the suggested videos! :D
No you're not a podcaster but if you were to add that in I'd love it too. LOL
My brain wouldn't allow me. I tried for some patreon videos, but I'm awkward as hell just talking about stuff I bought...
@@MijnWolden
That turned out really cute, your yarn absolutely shines in that vest! As to the length - I like the current length, but you're the one who gets to wear it and thus the only one whose taste it needs to match ;) if it joins some other similar-length garments, so what? It's still unique!
Also I'm really glad you don't do knitting "podcasts", most of them are utterly boring for me as well. And I take serious offense at that video format misusing the word "podcast", those are audio-only, or at the very least audio-first formats, grrrrrrr. (to be clear, I have no beef with those knitting update videos themselves, they may not be my taste but they don't need to be. it's just that they ... use a word wrong, lol, and my autistic ass absolutely cannot deal with that)
I love the idea of making our own merch, that's brilliant!
Yes! I do find it slightly aggravating when people call something a "podcast" when it's not really a podcast. As a friend said to me, "Words have meanings!"
And if they were video you could just listen to in the background, it might have been fine, but most of them just refer to 'this' and 'that' while pointing at stuff making it necessary to look at them without any visual engaging stuff...
I can't believe you don't like knitting podcasts! Are they too boring to listen to while you craft even?!
A lot of them, yeah, they are.
My main problem with people on social media using so many petite knit patterns is with the designer honestly. Its really frustrating to me that she has sizing up to 4xl, but she is the only model in the project photos. It makes it so inaccessible to know what her designs look like on a different body type without doing more research and it just turns me off from making petitie knit patterns. I have no idea what they look like on a curvy body and that frustrates me to no end
I have quite a bit of skinny privilege, so mostly I can knit the smaller sizes. But I have a feeling with especially Petite Knit's designs that they are designed for people with a petite chest (like her), and while I have skinny privileges, I do not have small chest privileges, and a lot of me not being entirely alright with the shape of this garment has probably to do with that. This was not designed with a (slightly) larger chest in mind.
@@MijnWolden that's totally understandable. The vest is a totally different vibe without a large chest. But I still think it looks great on you!
Watching this while unraveling a moth-damaged orange sweater for an autumn project of some sort.... For future reference, no shade on your excellent, idiomatic English- mediocrity.
It would help if English formed words logically :D
@@MijnWolden sure, but where is the fun in that?
