Love that I found you on u tube! Your knits are gorgeous ❤ so great to have you share your knitting experiences and tips! Thankyou😊
Aw thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that! 😊
The folded collar is so nicely done ! Looks great 👍!
Thank you so much! It feels so cozy!
Try the Shadow Wrap heel from Earthtones Girl. Fits great, easy and works toe up or cuff down.
Thank you for the recommendation!! I saw her video but haven't tried it yet, it is a nice looking heel!
Hi there - first time I have come across your Podcast and really enjoyed listening. I too am making the 'in the loops' top. Word of warning over 200 stitches and 156 rows for the body is taking a while! Still, enjoying the process. Look forward to hearing how your experience goes as you progress/finish
Hello! Aw thank you, I'm so glad to hear that! Oh wow, 200 stitches and 256 rows sounds pretty intense 😓 I'll just have to just take my time with that ha! Good luck with your piece as well!!
Just found your podcast. Nice alpaca yarn, but if it was me I would add a strand of wool yarn to keep some structure to a garment as alpaca has none.Happy knitting.
Hello and thank you for watching!! Oh that's a good idea. I do have some white fingering weight wool yarn laying around and maybe I'll try holding it double with that for a swatch too! As soon as I get my yarn wound up 😂
I'm so glad this channel was recommended to me a few months ago with episode 1! So nice to watch while I knit (very slowly as a beginner!) in northern England. 🙂
Aww I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy these videos, thank you for watching! ❤️
OMG I'm making a merino twisted loop top toooo!!! I'm at the same spot as you - about to put it in the round. So exciting! I'm knitting it as part of a group knit. Excited to see how everyones' turns out ^_^
Oooh awesome!! That's super fun that you're doing it as part of a group knit too! I actually realized there were armhole decreases for the back panel so I was a little farther from joining in the round as I thought haha. But NOW I'm actually about to join in the round! 😂 Hope you enjoy knitting yours!!
@@tangerineknits I actually had to rip back and redo my back panel once because I misread the instructions so you’re in good company :)
Love your channel ❤ I used Expression Fibre Arts video tutorial from 7 yrs ago to wind my yarn with a centre pull. I’m still planning on someday buying a Swift and winder, but hand winding each skein as I need it has been working pretty good 😊
Aw thank you so much! ❤️ And thanks for recommending that video! I tried hand winding once, and I had pulled way too tightly such that my cake was super dense and I did feel like I was cutting off circulation to my thumb 😂 I definitely could have practiced to get better at it, but I quickly resorted to only buying yarn at places that would also wound it for me haha.
You should try the Turkish cast on for toe-up socks! It's as seamless as Judy's magic cast on but even easier!
Oh thanks for the recommendation! I've not heard of the Turkish cast on, I'll have to check that out!
You can unknit that sleeve and continue knitting that stitch down the ladders between stitches inserting a column then end it towards the armpit.
Oh that's a wonderful idea! I totally would have tried that if I hadn't already finished the sweater before I saw this! Thank you for the suggestion :)
Lovely podcast. Those cardigans are so beautiful. Look forward to seeing your progress.
Thank you so much! I'm excited to get started with them!
I love the vest with a white t shirt, it looks so cute.
Aw thank you so much! It was fun to try a style that's different for me!
I am so glad you tagged me, loved this episode! That's exactly what happened with my Hermione socks, the yarn was much more stripey and you explained that vertical/horizontal patterning perfectly 😆 all your projects are lovely!
Aw thank you! Haha I definitely stared at the pattern for so long trying to figure out why it looked off with this yarn, so I'm glad it made sense 😂 Also your Hermione socks look so cute! I adoreeee all of your yarn choices and color choices, it's always fun seeing what you are knitting up! Thanks for stopping by 😊
Good morning Yiqi, Nice to be able to play your latest episode while I start 1st day of spring knitting on my sock. The cognac colored vest is simple yet stunning, you did a perfect job knitting it. It is a versatile garment that goes with a lot of things. I also love your Oslo sweater. Simple and lovely. The dropped stitch will NEVER be noticed - but I know the frustration when you try to knit a perfect project and find a mistake after the fact. I'm on the hook for my son's wool sweater then I've got to knit a sweater for his wife that is Juniper Moon Moonshine in Lagoon, a bright teal, so when you mentioned you got the Herriot yarn I was interested how soft and squishy it is. I love their yarn!!! I picked up some Juniper Moon Zooey which has linen in it and it is soft and squishy as well. Can't wait to complete these winter projects so I can move on to the fun lighter knits! Your ribbed tank project is so cute. You might want to knit your gauge swatch and wash it plus block it then measure the gauge. It may end up a more accurate pic of how the tank with fit when you are done. Thank you for your latest enthusiastic episode and look forward to the next one! Carrie from SF Bay Area ☺❤
Hi Carrie! Aw thank you so much and I'm glad the timing worked out so nicely 😊 Ooh those yarns all sound so lovely! This is my second time trying the juniper moon farms but so far it seems so nice. I just got the Herriot Fine wound up yesterday so I'll definitely keep you posted on how squishy it is after I get a chance to swatch it up! Best of luck with finishing the winter projects - I'm in the same boat, since the weather is getting warmer and the lighter projects are calling to me! Thanks so much for watching this episode!! ❤️
As always a very delightful podcast🤩 your Oslosweater is beautiful😃
Aw thank you so much Annette! 😊
Hey there! I love your podcast and I appreciate the amount of detail you share. Your Oslo sweater is gorgeous!
(Also, I wanted to let you know, I think what the yarn is called is a blown yarn. A boucle yarn is more of a thick and thin experience. I realize unrequested advice is often criticism, but I had no idea that the acronym OOAK meant one of a kind for months because no one ever told me! So, I hope you hear the statement in love!)
And I totally agree about the rib gauge thing. I always think, how the heck am I supposed to measure this?
Hello! Aw thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy the podcast! Oooh that is good to know, thank you for letting me know!!! I'm definitely still learning about different types of fibers, so I appreciate the learning opportunity haha and don't take it as criticism at all - and thank you for being so thoughtful and considerate!! Thinking through it, boucle typically looks a lot curlier whereas this yarn is definitely just fluff, so it makes a lot of sense that this would be called a blown yarn.
Haha, I've also never heard of OOAK, so that's two things I'm learning today! 😂
Look at the Good Grandpa cardigan. I am almost finished with it. It was so much fun!! Look at the TH-cam Black Sheep knitting , she made it. It is awesome!!❤
Hello! Oh thanks for that recommendation, it looks so cozy and classic!! I haven't tried a pattern by Caidree yet, but they look wonderful and I've heard such a great things.
The vest looks absolutely beautiful on you 🤎
Aw thank you so much! 🤎 It was fun to try a sweater vest!
Your vest looks amazing! 👏🏾
Aw thanks so much Roshelle! ❤️
I hear you on wanting a fluffy mohair look that suits warmer climates. Until recently I lived in Southern California, where I discovered Rauma Alpacca-Lin. It's similar in gauge and look to holding two strands of mohair, but was much more wearable for me because it has a linen core with brushed alpaca fluff. I was knitting on my Cider House Socks by Summer Lee while watching this; it's my favorite cabled sock pattern lately. Love your pod
Aw thank you so much for watching! And thank you for the recommendations!! I just looked up rauma alpacca lin, and the halo so nice! 😍 I'll definitely have to try that soon! And oooh the varsity stripes and the cables on the Cider House Socks are such a cute combo!!
I didn't see that Joya cardigan pattern on ravelry! Love your channel ❤️
Thank you!! ❤️ Funnily enough I found that pattern while going through my favorites on ravelry - I had no memory of seeing this pattern before but apparently I had liked it ages ago haha!
It is Gioia pattern ……wrong spelling!!!!!
@@knitnut246connie7 Yup! I've since linked it in the video description too!
girllll get yourself a swift and winder !! game changer !!! Also I am LOVING this vest on you, definitely knit up some more, you suit them! You're a mohair convert now :P And I was also influenced by Florence and swatched for a twist loop top in merino, but I found the rib so cumbersome and not enjoyable, but this is making me re-think it! Cant wait to see what cardigan you end up making !
Haha you know, I think it really is about time I get a swift and winder 😂 I just went to that yarn to and get my new yarn wound up, but when I got there I saw that they had closed early! Definitely not the most convenient option. And aw thank you so much!! I guess I am a mohair convert now haha, although your videos have piqued my interest in brushed alpaca too!
And I'll have to see how the twist loop to goes! I haven't knitted a fully ribbed top before, and I haven't gotten super far on this yet, so I can keep you posted on how cumbersome it turns out to be lol.
Looove the colour of your vest no. 2. As far as hugging your Oslo wip, I totally get it - I knit a hat (Vitis Hat by Erendis of Numenor, gorgeous pattern) in a sport weight, merino mohair blend L bought from a local angora goat breeder, and after wearing it for the past three months, I still feel compelled to throw my face in it every time I see it lying around, to the point it is becoming awkward lol! I definitely had concerns about wearing mohair, but this yarn has completely changed my mind about mohair.
Aw thanks so much! I was getting choice paralysis among so many shades of brown yarn on the KFO website haha, but glad about the end result. Wow that yarn sounds like a dream! Really cool that you got it from a local breeder too!
Beautiful knitting as usual!! Definitely invest in a swift and winder. For the amount of knitting you do it’s well worth it. Sometimes knit picks has sales on them and they aren’t too pricey.
Thank you Portia! Yeah, I feel like it's about time that I do that 😂 So far I've resorted to buying yarn only from places that will also wind it up for me, but sometimes the yarn store is busy so I have to make a second trip.... which leads to more impulse yarn purchases haha!
Love your vest! I think I need to make one. Also, for future reference, the sock yarn you are knitting with is not “self striping”, it’s just regular variegated yarn. Depending on gauge, needle size, pattern and stitch count you might get flashing, pooling or a thin stripey look like you are getting. Self striping yarn looks much different before it’s wound than what your skein looked like. Your yarn is gorgeous and is knitting up really nice!
Thank you! I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a vest but I've really enjoyed it! Ah, that is good to know, I hadn't thought about the difference between a variegated vs. self striping yarn but that is a good point. Thanks for pointing that out!
So happy to have found your channel today! By coincidence, I happen to be working on my step by step sweater in Noro miyabi🤣. How did yours do with blocking? Any major changes in size?
Hello!! And oh such a coincidence haha! And I actually did measure before and after blocking for this one (which I don't always do 🤣) and it grew about 1.5 cm width wise and 3 cm length wise! That could also have been a function with how I layed it out and shaped it on the blocking board though, and it dried in that shape. The fabric itself looked beautiful after blocking. Hope this helps!!
What’s the name of the other cardigan you are considering using your alpaca for? Joya? I love the look of it and may need to make it:)
It's the Gioia pattern by Sandrine C! www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gioia-8 Thanks for reminding me to link it in the description, I'll add that now :)
A suggestion from someone who edits on occasion, if you don't mind; it isn't necessary to edit out all of your natural verbal pauses. Human ears need a break from listening and, cutting out all pauses, tends to make the human voice sound monotonous and droning. On the knitting; you do a beautiful job on your projects.
Oh thanks for saying that! I hoped that cutting out dead space would make it more pleasant to watch, but that makes sense to leave in the natural pauses! It would save me some time with editing too 😂
