Another incredible podcast. Love the ideas and changes you have for your Ranunculus. The cable down the sides is awesome. I like the idea of splitting the cable into the icord split hem. Your baby blanket turned out beautiful and I’m sure was so appreciated. And the little baby hat is so precious. You will have lots of fun baby knitting. The pottery dish you made is so pretty and definitely very special. Also love the Bendigo pink yarn and the blue/green sock your for your father-in-law. Amazing ideas. Also so nice you have friends having babies in the same time frame so they can grow up together and definitely share along with the life changes. Incredible.
Go for the split icord. Can’t wait to see it finished. That yarn for baby girls blanket is wonderful. So happy to have you back. Love seeing your baby bump. Take care and stay safe.
I also got bit by the ranunculus bug this year! Just like you, I knitted a t-shirt version, and I am very happy with it! I am dreaming about casting on more ranunculi, in silk mohair, in woolly yarn, in other plant yarns, long sleeves, short sleeves….the options are endless❤
Love the idea of splitting the cable into an icord, and maybe a bit of a high-low hem. You could curve both the front & back with some short rows? Agree with on the BWM pink, that would make a lovely baby blanket. Keep leftover sock yarn for a matching pair of baby socks..... Thank you for another lovely episode.
that beanie is just too cute. newborn knits are just so precious. my nephew's first pair of socks were so teeny tiny. i like the idea of a split hem for the ranunculus with an i-cord border.
I think the split hem sounds like a good option , if you want to wear now, but if you think the weather is going to be too hot pretty soon, I would just make it a little bit longer and wait to use it next year no matter what you will choose… it will be lovely as you are ❤ So happy to find out…. You are having a girl! 🎉
Ranunculus: you could do the deep split at the sides and add I-cord ties so it's adjustable for growing belly and later shrinking belly post-baby, especially if you want to use up the yarn; but, I also like the cropped version since you could still wear it after the baby arrives (and it is done before it gets too hot). In both cases, you can use it again for baby 2, 3, etc 😉
Ranunculus: I cast on 72sts for the neck, then it's easy to increase 18sts to make it up to 90 sts. I like the low hem idea, as you have enough yarn. I also took ideas for Ranunculus from Kaci. I've made one long sleeved in Drops Air and one t-shirt in King Cole Finesse (cotton and silk dk).🌹
If you liked the peachy keen hat, I would also recommend the “Bearly Bonnet” by Pure Stitches, which is another free pattern. They were two of the first patterns I downloaded when I first taught myself how to knit earlier this year
Love your idea for the split Hem,/ sides for the Ranunculus. If you are planning on wearing this while pregnant, you will need the front longer than the back to compensate for the "lift" the baby bump will give. You may not wear it very much while pregnant, due to the weather, as you mentioned, so the question is, when do you want it. Or just make a non pregnant one later. Love the modifications. I didn't put the short rows in the front and it doesn't hug my neck as much, which feels less chokie for me. Love the little hat. Fun.
I am a South African, married to a Brit, and I love all the English expressions you use! Regarding the ranuncelous top. I personally will knit it according to a favorite top and not for being pregnant. You are pregnant for such a short period of time.
I love the baby bump, but you shouldn't alter a knit that you will wear for years for just a few weeks of bump! Have it made for your return shape in a few months.
I like your idea of using the cables on the side to do an i-cord for your Ranunculus. I just finished mine and I started with 90 sts on the neckline with a lace weight yarn. The neck is still a pretty tight fit. I did not use her very stretchy cast on so maybe that was a mistake! Mine was cropped but I don't wear dresses that often so I ripped the ribbing back and knit about 3-4" more on the body. I'd like to make another one with sock yarn. I'm guessing yours is from your first ball of yarn so far?

Your Peachy Keen Baby Hat is so cute! 🧶I really like your pottery bowl. It would be great for stitch markers!
You can knit those colour work socks! It’s easier then you think-9” circulars are fantastic for colour work.
Thankyou for a great podcast Nadine, love the baby hat and your Ranaculus jumper the colour is amazing 🧶
I loved the idea of side splits with iCord for your Ranunculus.
Do the split cable! That would be so interesting 🌟
I love your ranunculus and look forward to seeing how you decide to finish it!

It would've been sweet if you'd also added a yellow or white band on the engagement socks for when you got married (since you're still not done. ❤

Love your ranunculus I think you could keep cropped save the yarn and go back and lengthen after baby. 😊
