Wow! You are so unbelievably fortunate to have such a great designer as a teacher. Her work is stunning, and that smoke sweater?.... Amazing!
Similarly, I started exploring hobbies at the start of the pandemic. I've tried drawing, painting, plein-air watercolor painting, candle making, perfume making, jewelry making, leatherwork, playing drums and guitar, crocheting and knitting. The only thing that stuck was playing drums and knitting, and I generally spend 60% of my free time knitting and 40% for everything else.
I know I was so lucky to know Stefania ❤️ you’ve tried so many things, I love hearing about people’s hobbies ✨✨✨ thanks for commenting!
Hey, there! Earlier, I left a comment saying I can't wait for more of your content. Well, look what you've done! Another delicious episode! Thank you so much!
So glad you are back ❤️❤️ thank you for the support, I really appreciate it 🥰🥰
Hi
I found your channel yesterday and I’ve fallen in love with it - I think I may have sat and watched every episode now.
Everything you’ve made is so refined and polished looking - I can’t believe how well it’s executed, especially when you describe some of the tribulations along the way. How do you get such a lovely finish on all your garments?
Secondly, also the key reason I keep coming back - your styling and understanding of colour and proportions! It’s so chic!
You elevate being a knitter and knitting for the skill level into creating pieces which are fashion magazine editorial and describing styling and colour and drape into a fashion selection.
Im just about to start making garments and this is what I want to focus on with what I create - how do I create refined pieces which look like quality garments with colours and fit tailored to make me look very stylish and editorial vs here’s a garment I knitted because I can.
I would love to hear you talk more about that
- even your unicorn michhiln man colour jumper looks runway ready!
Show me the fashion ways ❤❤❤
I am so happy to have found your channel! This kind of vlog is so comfy.❤
Aw thank you that makes me sooo happy ❤️
fun video!! love meeting all your cool friends ^__^ was working on a Cloud Sweater that I'm planning to wear on a trip to Japan in October. my recent purchase was one of my stash essentials, Le Petit Lambswool from Biches et Buches!! Love pairing it with a fluff.
Thanks lovely!! Knitting with a trip as a goal makes traveling even more special. Enjoy! 🥰
Ma che brave tutte e due! Tantissimo talento, voglio definitivamente produrre questi disegni!
Currently knitting the Sabai top plain in Drops Belle and really enjoying both the pattern and the yarn. Just bought quite bit of yarn from Purl Soho last week...now impatiently waiting for the parcel to arrive! I started knitting in January but I'm already head over heels in love. I love your content btw!
Ma graziee ❤️❤️ benvenuta nel knitting 😍 enjoy the yarn!
First time watching your videos and I loved it! Can’t wait to see more ❤️
Thank you so much, this means a lot ❤️
If you do continental, try keeping all your fingers on the knitting. It is much easier and better for your hands than stretching the finger with the yarn
Thanks for the tip!!
For the hand stretching, I was warned off the one where you hold you arm out straight and pull back your hand by my partner, (a physical therapist), because doing it where the arm is locked out like that compresses the joint (at the elbow or the wrist, I'm not sure) which generally isn't good long term. It's a good forearm stretch, but just make sure to do it with your arms bent. You can also do this by putting your hands on a table and using your bodyweight, but I find it easier to use my other hand.
Also, massage the hell out of your forearms! I have a rollerball thing that I use and also nick my partner's one head massager from time to time, as I can't do it too well with my thumbs - but a good massage can do wonders ☺
Thanks so much for the useful comment!! I loveeee my rollerball, I never tried it on my arms and hands though, will definitely try now x
@@woozybyceline I recently got this one which can be warmed up or chilled and it's so nice 😃I think just use it on the arms though, there's not many muscles in the hands so it might not be as effective. Plus I know you're not supposed to use massagers on bony areas, so I'm wondering if the same is true of rollerballs
Beginner knitter over here from the Netherlands. While watching your video I kintted on my Ohlala top by Kutovakika. It is my very first real knit project (aside from knitting simple squares to teach my fingers to behave) and I am knitting it in Drops Safran color 4 - a light sage green
How exciting, your first real project 😍😍
Listening to the part where you spoke Italian gave me some childhood flashbacks, but also I was shocked that you can speak Italian and others can understand words, let me explain. My Granny worked in Italy in 80s and till this day she uses some Italian words because she prefers them. In the 90s and early 2000s she was using it even more (especially when she was annoyed at someone and she didn't want them to know, but wanted to say something to them 😂). Her sister is still living in Rome and now I have two Italian uncles from her daughters. It's so hilarious when they come here because my mum and I can't say a word in Italian so we speak English with them (and it's our foreign language), Granny speaks only Italian aside from our native language and when my Grandfather was alive he was so confused what is happening because the only foreign language he knew was Arabic. I also tried to translate what we're talking about in English so you can imagine how did it sound when there was like 10 of us, especially with my Granny who is SO LOUD, when she's talking you can hear her in whole town and she speaks very quickly in Italian, way quicker than in our native language 😂
Aww thanks for sharing this fun memory, it made me laugh 😂❤️
I LOVE the red color!!!!
It’s the best 😍
I loved crocheting but never learned how to read a pattern nor when I first started I only knew a single crochet stitch but played around and was able to make hats and tops many things. I know now how to make most of the stiches, but you're right. I just started knitting in January and love knitting. ❤️
I love a bit of intuitive crochet 😍 and welcome to knitting!!
So much fun to watch as always! I recently purchased the Fat Mohair in the colour Rose o’clock from Sysleriget for a Ballerina Cardigan by Weloveknitters and the wool for the Dagny Sweater by Skappel. So excited for both of them to arrive
Thank youuu 🤗 I looove fat mohair! Enjoy your yarn!
Love a natural remedy thanks for sharing!!
❤️❤️❤️
Love the hair!! And also the rest of the video ;)
Thanks so much lovely ❤️
❤ and currently working on the peacock tee and my first time working with knitting for olive silk… got it in rhubarb juice… really liking it so far… made a few mods to the pattern to improve the fit…
So fun 😍 that silk is gorgeous!
Love your podcast! 💕💕 My last yarn purchase was some Knitting for Oliver merino in the shade “soft blue” to knit a summer cami ☺️🫶🏼☀️
Thanks lovely! That shade is so special 🤗
I love how your Love Note turned out! I was working on my Ingrid Sweater in a red - similar to your top - whilst watching and my last yarnie buy was some pink yarn to finish up my first cardi and some pickle green for a drop shoulder. :)
Thank youu 🤗🤗 I LOVE your colour choices!
Loved the video ❤ I am knitting on a cumulus tee. And my last yarn purchase was Wensleydale longwool, from which I will knit the Elizabeth blouse from petiteknit (once I found the confidence 😅😅)
The Cumulus pieces have my heart! And the Elizabeth blouse is on my list as well! I’m sure it’s easier than it looks 🥰
Love the hair!!!! Was just visiting London from the US and went to Beautiful Knitters per your recommendation. Such a lovely store!
So happy you enjoyed the shop 😍
Lovely video! I’m working on my Friday Tee by PetiteKnit and I recently splurged during a sale on some Antigone from de rerum natura for the Ingrid Top by Gregoria Fibres!!
The Ingrid Top is so cuutee
Love watching your videos while knitting (new knitter here). Currently knitting the Audrey top by Petiteknit with Hobbii's Happy Place Solid yarn in Hunter Green. Most recent purchase: Drops Air yarn in Light Beige... Haven't tried Drops yet so I'm excited
Thanks for watching ❤️ the Audrey Top is so pretty!!
My last yarn purchase was three skeins of Natural Sock from Wooly Mammoth Fiber Co in the color Wildflower Dark (a pretty natural dyed purple) that I'm going to use as the body of a halloween-themed colorwork yoke sweater for my daughter.
Now I want to make a halloween colorwork piece 😍😍😍
Knitting the Square Neck Camisole by Helene Beba while watching :D Love your videos so much!!
A classic 😍 thank you so much lovely!!
Your love letter top by Kutovakika blocked beautifully! I'm crocheting the Fall Sweater by KnitCroAddict using Peaches n' Cream cotton yarn in the color lilac. Great video!
Thank youu! The Fall Sweater is lovelllyy
I am so in love with the red Katia yarn. I just made the love letter top in a taupe color. I looked at the Katia site and couldn’t find the number you mentioned. Could it be something else on the US version of their site?
I'm working on my aura top while I watch - inspired by you! and I'm knitting it with a single strand of the Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair Print :)
Not sure what the colourway is called but its gorgeous cream, pink, chocolate brown, smoke gray and mustard yellow
Oh my goodness that sounds dreamy!
Your Love Letter Top is just Fabolous 🌹🍒❤
Thank youu I love it 🥹❤️
Last yarn purchase was yesterday: went a little too crazy with Olivia & Oliver's new Simply Sweet pre-order! 🙈🍬😊
No yarn purchase is ever too crazy 🙊🙊❤️
I am making the love letter top too. Did you make the bobbles? Not sure if I like how mine look. I just did the row in the back. I just joined the front and the back.
I didn’t do the bobbles, the yarn I used is quite stiff when held double so they would’ve turned out too rigid and I wanted the top to be as flowy as possible :)
Ok! Then I am going to go back and take them out. Do I just knit that stitch? And thank you so much for your quick response! It’s the middle of the night there!!!
Of course, no worries! Yes just knit the stitch instead :)
I am dreaming about casting on the love letter top and trying to decide what kind of yarn will be best. This will be my first summer knit. I see in the other comments that you love the top. Are there any modifications you would recommend? The top seemseemed to fit you similar to the designer’s photos. I was planning to see your ravelry project page to see what size you knit and possibly your bust measurements to see if things finished true to size. I really enjoyed the variety of everything in this video. Thank you.
Still need to add stuff to my Ravelry ahah!! I made a size small (bust 86cm). I made 2 modifications: I didn’t work the bobbles and just knitted the stitch instead, and for the icord on the arms I spread some “knit 3 sts tbl” to decrease a bit, just because I noticed the opening would’ve been too large otherwise. Hope this helps!
so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond in such detail ❤
Hi Celine, fellow knitting Celine here :) I love your pattern choices and how much you appreciate ruffles, lace, feminine details and silhouettes. I’m the same and wanted to share my absolutely favorite knitwear designer: Irene Lin! Check out her patterns, I really think you’ll love them. She drew me in with bell sleeves on her jumpers and now I can’t stop casting on more of her designs.
Thank you ❤️ I just checked Irene Lin out, and you are right, her patterns are sooo beautifull 🥹 thanks for recommending ✨✨✨
