The current knit is pretty straightforward Christine, although I took my brain off somewhere and now I’ve made a mistake to currently ripping it back to start the front again, poop 💖
Thank you so much for this video. My mother passed away 40 years ago and I could not bring myself to throw out her knitting patterns. Many of them are 30/40/50s and I can even remember her wearing some of them Thank you for the memories and I am off to get them out now, to see what I can knit😂
How precious to match some of the patterns to the memories of your mum Gwen. How lovely to now plan some knitting from them. I love that part with all the ideas 💖
😍🤩 Oh wow - I LOVED seeing your knitting projects. Those colors and patterns are absolutely gorgeous. I envy knitters - I have learned the basics and I'm baby stepping into it even though I get frustrated. 😆
It’s been too hot these past few days to feel like handling wool so I’m a bit behind with the knitting Abby 😄. Keep on going, you’ll build up more and more. I started knitting while pregnant with my youngest Millie so that was over 22 years ago now. 💖
Thanks for another lovely video Lisa. I’m a sewist rather a knitter but I really enjoy your knitting videos too. I would be equally affronted at being accused of wearing beige 😹.
I really like the Wendy Wools cardigan you're knitting. It'll look lovely when you've finished. I have the 1940s modern knitting book as well. I have about 4 books from that series. There's some lovely patterns in them.
I'm off to see the Glenn Miller Orchestra towards the end of the year (saw them in Brighton in April and thoroughly enjoyed it). I've promised myself I'd knit a cardigan to wear for it and I'm definitely considering knitting the Wendy Wools one if i can find it. It's lovely.
I always love your knitting content. Makes me want to make cardigans. Working on finger weight summer tops right now. Jan jumper from Susan Crawford. I knit that one in the morning because you have to pay attention a little bit with it. And then the Lola jumper for night time just stocking net knitting.
Hi, oh your knitting😱 gorgeous. I share the same love of knitting whilst watching television as you do. I am still working on Sirdar 1628. Such a lovely pattern. I have so many vintage patterns I want to knit. My next project I really want to try fair isle from Susan Crawford’s book a stitch in time. Thank you for a lovely video.
Oh yes I love to knit or do EPP whilst watching tv.📺 My grandmother and mother never had idle hands and I think I inherited that. Love the shade of blue. Drops yarn is fabulous. What is the name / number of that Wendy cardigan you are making ? Oh I just found it on Etsy 👍👍 I’ve run out mid knit 🧶 too, so started on something else; Susan Crawford Vol 2 Golden Eagle Ladies jumper with Drops Alpaca 🦙 in dark charcoal and bright pink that I had in my stash to use up.
So many lovely knits. I am trying really hard to finish off my pile right now. But you're giving me the itch to cast on something new! I have the Datemaker pattern as well. I've been wanting to make that for ages and now I think that's going to be one of my next knits... But I have to put my blinders on and finish the pile I have now. LOL ❤❤
I love some of the patterns in the Nancy Vale book, my Mum has a copy of it. I want to get better at knitting Fair Isle, so I can try out a couple of the patterns in the book and a few of the Susan Crawford ones too.
It’s a really good book isn’t it. I’m with you trying to improve my fairiisle, it’s so beautiful to look at. I get overwhelmed about choosing the colours to work best together and then the amount of concentration needed. Good luck with yours 💖
Hi Lisa what a lovely video, good to see you!! I'm literally wearing my Drops Nepal jumper in Olive Mix right now. If you don't mind tidying up some pilling here and there, it's so lightweight and cosy! I've bought a load of their DK Lima for a colourwork I've got planned next, I just love their yarn, so affordable when Woolwarehouse have a sale too. At the moment I'm knitting socks though, I made 1 pair for the learning experience and my whole family went nuts, now I have 6 pairs to make and they bought the yarn too, so I have no excuse. They're quicker than a whole jumper or cardi though. Take care and send me some sun, even with the cosy jumper and the Uniqlo heat-tech underneath I'm freezing....
Hi Hannah, lovely to hear from you. It’s really pilly isn’t it, always pulling off lumps here too 😀. Drops is marvellous isn’t it, total fan too. Blimey socks, go you. I tried once and after the first one I got bored so my man had just one to look at not the pair I’d got him looking forward to 😂💖
@@bobobun Lol the second sock syndrome they call it, it's a real thing a bit like second sleeve syndrome. I'm actually enjoying the process as I'm not as an experienced knitter as most, so it gives me a reason to try out different stitches on a smaller project. I have to thank a Florence Miller sock video for the instructions because if I had to read a pattern (which I did buy, because I'm not a total muppet) I would've been bamboozled. I still haven't finished my Diagon Alley Jumper, it's bottom up and I've joined the sleeves and done a few rounds of decreases for the raglan and have just stopped. I don't understand the faux top of the sleeve puff bit. ' ' '
History of knitting would be wonderful!! 😊
I’ll have to have a look into getting that together, it would be interesting to know more 💖
Lovely knitting update Lisa. Thank-you for sharing your knitting projects and pattern links. I'm in awe of the knitting you have in progress😍
The current knit is pretty straightforward Christine, although I took my brain off somewhere and now I’ve made a mistake to currently ripping it back to start the front again, poop 💖

I know Beige 😳😂 lovely lady, don’t think she realised the impact of the word to me 😱😂💖
Lovely knits Lisa. ❤️🌺
Thanks Lenore, looking forward to wearing them when they’re done 💖

I have the 1940s modern knitting book as well. I have about 4 books from that series. There's some lovely patterns in them.
It’s such an enjoyable one to knit and I love how quickly Aran weight knits up too. I agree, they’re marvellous books aren’t they 💖

I've promised myself I'd knit a cardigan to wear for it and I'm definitely considering knitting the Wendy Wools one if i can find it. It's lovely.
That sounds utterly marvellous, how fabulous. I hope you’re lucky at finding it, I’d share it if I can think how to 💖

You’re like me, full brain needed for the tricky stuff Christine. Cardigans are my favourites to knit. Finger weight summer tops sound lovely 🥰

You’re like me Karen, just want to knit it all, but it’s far slower than the sewing isn’t it. Thanks so much too 💖
If you put your musty smelling book in a sealed bag with a small tub of bicarbonate of soda it should help.
I’ll give it a try, thank you 💖

I bet you won’t because if you’re like me and I think you are Lizzie, more will be added to it 😄 hurrah we may be knitting it at the same time 💖
@@bobobun You know me well!!!

@@bobobun Yes, especially as the colours can change so much when you knit them together!
