This video was soooo satisfying to watch! Side notes: 1. I'm an only child and didn't have an immaginary friend; I did have a stuffed toy I was pretty obsessed with 2. I would love to live in a household with a cat-to-human 1:1 ratio; we're at an ok 0.33 ratio right now
Bind off tip! I usually cut enough yarn to bind off 1/3 at a time. It decreases the amount of yarn I have to pull through each stitch and reduces friction since that weakens the fibers. Super easy to attach a new strand when I need it
I lost track of how many days are compiled for the video, but congratulations on finishing three beautiful projects. It’s great to see you so happy with each one and they are all lovely 🌸
I crochet (knitting scares me, I can only make flat peices xD) and I am very slow. I enjoy the process and know that my work will be better than if I rushed myself! I love long and intricate pieces that take forever though! I love the sweater! It's gorgeous
😅 okay okay, I hear you, I'll finish off the WIPs that are sitting in the dark 😂 I absolutely love how yours turned out! Super proud of you, building energy to do the final bits can be really hard!
Only child here! My imaginary friend was Sonic the Hedgehog for a few years lol. Mostly i would just stare out the car window and imagine him running along the tops of powerlines next to the car.
Another banger!! I’ve been travelling for a month and am getting back into watching your videos :) I also love this series so I’m glad to hear you do too!!
I love these videos. It always inspires me to just finish those projects that are mostly done and I'm just dragging on some of the finishing. No imaginary friend, did have a sibling, we both tried to get an imaginary friend but it didn't take.
I have a brother, and grew up super close with 8 cousins. Definitely had imaginary friends. But already created ones - like Little Bear and Franklin and Blue.
I grew up as a single child until I was 14. I had imaginary friends and would role play a lot with my friends making up characters n such. Most of my friends growing up also had a huge age gap with their siblings or only children. So you're probably onto something. Also, youre slowly motivating me to want to try to knit again.
That’s awesome! I love the imaginary friends back story 😄 you definitely should do whatever you want, but I (biasly) hope you get back into knitting! 🧶
When doing long Italian bind off I do three times the length of what I’m binding off and I sew with the excess thread doubled up though the needle (only sewing with one piece of yarn obvi)
I don't think I ever had an imaginary friend. I did have plushies that I treated with the utmost care. I do also have a brother, which I did a bit of mending for during this video. He has a job that takes quite the toll on his clothes. But since it would be expensive and wasteful to buy new clothes every time, it's better for me to mend them. Which isn't perfect, but it keeps his skin safe.
I love these kind of videos ❤. I'm the oldest and had an imaginary friend until my brother was old enough to play with and then they disappeared lol. I also didn't have a lot of friends either. I'm a massive introvert and people are hard 😬.
I'm catching up on your two newest videos while I unravel a failed tunisian crochet sweater. The yarn is fuzzy/felted so its very finnicky but I've got a rythm going and I'm looking forward to transforming this yarn into something else! I'm considering a crochet sweater vest or a different crochet sweater pattern. Your videos are amazing!
These projects turned out so good and it's always so motivational to see you finishing them!! I'm a slow knitter too - I once finished a cardigan in just 3 months and I was SO proud of myself! It usually takes me like a year, if not more! Also, it never occurred to me to do maths to figure out the ratio for picking up stitches 😅 I've always just trialled and errored it, and I guess my gauge is weird compared to other people's bc 3:4 or 5:7 as I've heard other people recommend often doesn't work for me, but 1:1 often does 🤷♀️ I didn't have any imaginary friends growing up (I have 1 sibling, and also our mum was a childminder when we were kids so we kinda had extra honorary "siblings" around a lot of the time) but we did create imaginary characters for our games of make believe. They only existed for however long we played the game though so I wouldn't call them imaginary friends. Also I made up a lot of stories as a kid (I'd staple piece of paper together into a book to write them in, and I illustrated them and everything) so I guess all my imagination went towards that rather than any imaginary friends!
It’s awesome hearing about your imaginary character history, love that you had such a creative mind at a young age!!! I’m also happy to hear someone else has different pick up tensions. There’s general rules of thumb that people like to point out all the time, but it’s proof that we are all different and not all techniques work for all people 🥰
Big respect for doing so much itialian bind off :O I just could not. I would do some other easy somewhat stretchy bind of for sure just out of laziness
Experienced tip: You can usually pick up 1:1 and adjust on the first knitted row by knitting stitches together. that way you at the very least avoid having to pick up again and again
@@BreathingYarn It is and it does^^ I have encountered a project once in a blue moon where it didn't work, so I won't say it's always a fix, but in general it works.
Clearly you’re a person of taste with those movie choices and yes you do need a rib lace raglan! 🥰

I have 3 younger siblings, and even so I created imaginary friends for both me, my sister and my childhood friend, and also imaginary horses for each of us and our imaginary friends 😂 Maybe it was the sign of a future writer 😅
About that long picking up - no need to unravel it completely. Leave the picked up sts on the needle, check what gauge/yarn needle works, and on the first row DECREASE however many sts you need. In this case you'd work that first row (k1 p1 k1 p2tog)
Such awesome FOs, Isabella! I knitted the riblace raglan but made mine a tad too short so only wear mine under dungarees, yours looks great. I did not have an imaginary friend growing up, but I have 4 siblings. Sidebar: American toilet rolls seem massive and make our Brit rolls look puny! 😂
I’m willing to bet our toilet rolls are bigger 😂 I have to be careful buying them because some are too big for the holder (these aren’t the biggest ones you can get).
@@BreathingYarn Damn i have loo roll envy! I’m fastidious with toilet paper. We have about 70 rolls in the house at any one time (plus a couple emergency packets)🤓
I had imaginary friends and siblings. Weirdly enough me and my best friend had imaginary friends that we pretended to play with together. We were obsessed with ghosts and pretended we had ghost friends lol, and also fairies.
Technically an only child (my only sister is 15 years older than me) and did not have an imaginary friend, but I do remember trying to make myself have an imaginary friend because I thought it was something kids were supposed to do. 😅 They'd only last a day, if that.
For picking up stitches, it's 3:4 on the vertical and 1:1 on horizontal, works every time :)
Only child, no imaginary friend ..
This video was soooo satisfying to watch!
Side notes:
1. I'm an only child and didn't have an immaginary friend; I did have a stuffed toy I was pretty obsessed with
2. I would love to live in a household with a cat-to-human 1:1 ratio; we're at an ok 0.33 ratio right now
😂 I love the inclusion of the ratio!
9:09 love this little segment of the transitions with the different looks with the same top 😊
I don’t know about you but as soon as I have a new piece of clothing, I always want to try it on with everything in my closet 😂
Bind off tip! I usually cut enough yarn to bind off 1/3 at a time. It decreases the amount of yarn I have to pull through each stitch and reduces friction since that weakens the fibers. Super easy to attach a new strand when I need it
That’s awesome! I’ll need to give that a try
I have siblings. I didn't have imaginary friends but I had semi-imaginary pets. I had a roller skate on a jump rope that I pretended was my dog 🤣.
That’s so adorable!
I lost track of how many days are compiled for the video, but congratulations on finishing three beautiful projects. It’s great to see you so happy with each one and they are all lovely 🌸
Thank you. I also lost track of the days 😆
the striped sweater is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yees!
I love watching your fixes and completing wips. Motivation for my own!
Yesssss 🙌🏻
I crochet (knitting scares me, I can only make flat peices xD) and I am very slow. I enjoy the process and know that my work will be better than if I rushed myself! I love long and intricate pieces that take forever though! I love the sweater! It's gorgeous
😅 okay okay, I hear you, I'll finish off the WIPs that are sitting in the dark 😂
I absolutely love how yours turned out! Super proud of you, building energy to do the final bits can be really hard!
Don’t worry, I’ve got some lonely WIPs sitting in the dark too, just waiting to be finished
Only child here! My imaginary friend was Sonic the Hedgehog for a few years lol. Mostly i would just stare out the car window and imagine him running along the tops of powerlines next to the car.
Yesss 👏🏻 I love that. I was a boring kid that just looked at the power lines, would’ve been waaaay more fun to see sonic running on them
Another banger!! I’ve been travelling for a month and am getting back into watching your videos :)
I also love this series so I’m glad to hear you do too!!
Thank you ☺️ you’re so sweet
I love these videos. It always inspires me to just finish those projects that are mostly done and I'm just dragging on some of the finishing. No imaginary friend, did have a sibling, we both tried to get an imaginary friend but it didn't take.
😂 it didn’t take. Love that you basically interviewed and trial ran imaginary friends 😊
Everything came out so pretty. And I loved the tattoo.
Thanks 🥰🥰
Love the long cardigan…I don’t think I could undertake something like that … but who knows 😂
I’m glad I chipped away at it instead of focusing on just that project cuz then I would have gotten sick of it
These are my favourite videos you do too! :)
Awesome! I already have projects to finish 😄
I have a brother, and grew up super close with 8 cousins. Definitely had imaginary friends. But already created ones - like Little Bear and Franklin and Blue.
Fricken adorable! 🥰💙🐻
I always pickup up 3 out of 4 stitches vertically. I also use a smaller needle to do the ribbing.
Nice! I use the same size needle whenever I do twisted rib since it’s usually so tight compared to my stockinette.
I grew up as a single child until I was 14. I had imaginary friends and would role play a lot with my friends making up characters n such. Most of my friends growing up also had a huge age gap with their siblings or only children. So you're probably onto something. Also, youre slowly motivating me to want to try to knit again.

I had an imaginary friend with my best friend! We shared him and it was adorable haha And I had one older sibling!
That’s so sweet and cute! 🥹

That’s awesome! And thanks.
p.s. I agree, people are hard 😂

Good luck, that sounds like a chore but it’ll hopefully be satisfying to get that done!

Love your finished pieces that cardigan is goals 👌🏻 I struggle finishing socks!!😅
Socks are the worst! I love them but they’re so hard to finish!!!
Big respect for doing so much itialian bind off :O I just could not. I would do some other easy somewhat stretchy bind of for sure just out of laziness
😂 the accountability of TH-cam helped
Congratulations! Your hard work and dedication paid off
I like how you styled your Race Lace Raglan. Great job on your Campsite Waffle Cardigan. 🧶
Thanks 🥰
Love both the top and cardigan! Congrats!
Thanks ☺️
Wow, how beautiful are those!
Thanks! I’m (obviously) so happy with them. Love the patterns so much
The top looks so good!
Thanks! I’ve been wearing it a lot since filming this video. It’s a new favorite
your Tillamook shirt!! best cheese everr
Preach! Hell yea it’s the best 🥰
Love the tattoo!
Thanks. 100% credit to my tattoo artist. All I told her was to do a great blue heron and she did the rest.
Experienced tip: You can usually pick up 1:1 and adjust on the first knitted row by knitting stitches together. that way you at the very least avoid having to pick up again and again
Oh that is such a great tip! I am totally doing that next time. That sound so much easier and would probably have a cleaner look as well!
@@BreathingYarn It is and it does^^ I have encountered a project once in a blue moon where it didn't work, so I won't say it's always a fix, but in general it works.
i love your tattoos so much!
Thanks, my tattoo artist is awesome and so talented
First Sky High and now Ice Princess?? What year is it? How old am I? What lovely final products!! ❤ aaaaand now I need a rib lace raglan.
Clearly you’re a person of taste with those movie choices and yes you do need a rib lace raglan! 🥰
I have 3 younger siblings, and even so I created imaginary friends for both me, my sister and my childhood friend, and also imaginary horses for each of us and our imaginary friends 😂 Maybe it was the sign of a future writer 😅
I think it was definitely a sign of a budding creative 😊

Thanks! I’m gonna do that next time, would’ve saved me hours
Well done in all the FOs! I love that you normalize that knitting a garment is not necessarily a straight path. ~Brenda
Thanks Brenda for helping me feel normal 😊
Also look at AKA Nora knits she picked up for her button band as she went so she didn't have to do a nine foot band pickup!

I relate so hard to the random brain commentary. This is me the entire time im working on anything in silence
Heck yea! Random stream of consciousness club 🙌🏻
I also had siblings (4 of them) and also didn’t have imaginary friends.
Thanks for contributing to the informal study! Loving this ☺️
The rib lace raglan turned out soo cute! What yarn did you use?
Drops Belle (denim). It’s a cotton/linen/rayon blend.
I had imaginary friends and siblings. Weirdly enough me and my best friend had imaginary friends that we pretended to play with together. We were obsessed with ghosts and pretended we had ghost friends lol, and also fairies.
You would’ve been a great childhood friend! 👻

Hallo!
Hi 😊
@@BreathingYarn :D
i didn't have imaginary friends, i have a twin sibling
Had many siblings, and had imaginary friends but they were monsters not other kids
😆 😂
I dont have siblings and i never had imaginary friends 😅
Have a younger brother, no imaginary friends
