Hi Inga from NY. Your basket of linen quill is like having a bouquet of flowers by your bed. I'm with you...a room needs softness too. Great podcast. Thank you. ❤
Oh thank you!
Oh wow thank you for that information about the different kinds of German short rows. I’ve completely frogged entire yokes because I thought I was doing them wrong because they were slightly visible. Reknitting it never helped! But now I know it’s just the way the pattern resolves the short row that causes this. I’ll definitely need to look into this more. Great video!
Your so welcome🥰💕
Wonderful Sunday surprise!! Thanks for sharing Inga :)
Thank You Inga 🤗Today We Had Sunshine In West London & Tonight You are A Ray of Sunshine Coming Through My Tablet 💐🌞....A Truly Lovely Podcast
Oh thank you so much Sally🌸💕
It always amazes me, how much knitting you get done. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing it all with us.
You are so welcome!
i am realizing that i have watched this particular episode 3 times over 🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate you explaining the two different placements of short rows. I had wondered. I'm adding some to a top down sweater after the yoke. Also I love your choice in yarns.
Inga: I have the Talvinen on the needles right now. I got half way down the yoke tried it on and the neck was so tight it was clasping my neck. I ripped it all out. I added a full two inches by adding more stitches. I’m using the biche et buche as well. Your comment was interesting I thought the same when I read the pattern.
I also have a big basket of yarn by my bed! Mine is a big bag of jumbo skeins of v rustic British wool- some from wooly knit, some I got direct from the mill at a wool show, some from an English natural dyer. It's been by my bed for ever and sometimes things come in or out, but I feel like keeping my most natural stash by my bed is very grounding!
Hi Inga! Im new to your podcast and love it so much! You have a really easygoing and warm way of talking about your knitting. I also admire your knowhow! Im a knitter from Finland, so its easy to relate to your projects and need for warmth☺️. See you, Aino
Ha-ha...I am happy to see I am not the only one with a giant stash of Purl Soho Linen Quill! ;-)
Ciao! Sarebbe bello vedere la tua craft room. Complimenti per i bei lavori che realizzi... Grazie per la compagnia. 🌼🧣🧶🧦🧥
I adore your podcast. I love your sharing of family traditions.
Thanks for another great podcast to sit and knit with Inga! Your Fields of Gold is coming along so beautifully. I love your yarn and color choice. Can’t wait to see it with your modifications- and yes it looks to me like you are past the most difficult part of the pattern 😁
Thank you so much! yes i do think its going alot better now that its just enjoying the motif :) did the neckline last night and its so cute!
Gorgeous projects! I love that you're a "thinking knitter" regarding what works for you. Enjoy all the cozy knitting times! ❄️🧶
Thank you! 😊
I loved this podcast! Thanks Inga! I loved hearing your humor and commentary. Knitted along with your chatting. Your half and half wrap is so chic! Think I may have to do one. Enjoy your knitting time before work gets busy. All the best, Kimberly
Hello Inga, I'm also doing the K-Along prism blanket in crib size. I choose candlelight colors. I haven't gotten that far, had a medical emergency but hopefully I'll get back on track soon. Have a blessed weekend and happy knitting.
Hope you have a speedy and full recovery💕
@@knittingtraditions Thank you and yes I'm doing much better, my hubs said soon I'll be able to get back to yarning lol as he calls it. I sometimes fell asleep knitting in bed and would wake with my hubs trying to take the needles from my hands. 🤫
I love the colours you're using for the crochet blanket, the green is particularly beautiful.
Oh Inga thank you for explaining how to do that sock I can’t wait to do a sock now. Thank you bless you. You are so lovely.
You are so welcome
Hello from the woods of northern MN. I love the affirmation of the enjoyment process of knitting. Straightforward is my style, and I see that gives you a palette to do all of your improvising. So many good tips! Thank you so much.
Love the color choices for your Talvinen sweater. I have been knitting for years, and for some reason I have never done color work; this sweater is calling my name. I might have to give it a try. Love your podcast, very inspiring. Thank you!
Thanks again for all the inspiration, I quite liked your explanation on how you modify short rows, intent to try it on my next project. I always learn something while watching your podcast. Sending you all my gratitude. 🙏
You are so welcome!
What an informative video! Loved all your tips and tricks! I always learn something from you! My favorite line of the podcast, "it's fine, it's fine" when talking about your Nutinden sweater! Cracked me up! Stay warm!!
haha thank you :D
Thanks so much for the Technique insights...especially the sock heal. 😊
Hi Inga, I laughed when you said what Biches and Bushes reminds you of when you it look at it. I think the same and chuckle every time I see the yarn. I haven’t tried this brand yet, but I want to get some for one of my next sweaters. So many knitters have great things to say about it. Thanks for another fun episode. I love to knit and drink coffee while watching you talk about your knitting. I always get so many great ideas from you. Happy Knitting.
i am LOVING this yarn so if you dont mind knitting on small needles i definetely recomend it, its wonderful
Wow - I love the "basket of happiness" next to your bed as a phone holder! What a great idea! Tomorrow I am going to setup a basket of happiness and I think I will use my Mom's round sewing basket from the 60s, which I have been thinking about how to use and incorporate it into my home. Thanks for the idea!
Great idea!!
Hi Inga! Nice to see you and all your wonderful knits.
Thank you! 😊
You and Bella somehow remind me of each other. Both beautiful, with awesome blog aethetics and inspiring items. Loved to watch this episode a lot and thrilled with your English.

Inga this is a most informative podcast. The black and cream blanket is so beautiful. In fact your knits are interesting from the yarns used to getting gauge and finally starting knitting. I would hear you talk about Icord's. Now I use it myself. The final garment which you have started knitting will look stunning although the maths had me chuckling. I have had a a little difficulty replying or commenting on podcasts. It is me not the podcaster
Thank you so much Rosemary🥰
Hi Inga! Yarns are beautiful especially the yarn on cake! I’m knitting 🧶 similar colour for Maternity dept at RVI Newcastle North East UK 🇬🇧 ! I remember gorgeous Easter coloured sweater you made yourself so bright and cheerful! Oh and lovely cardigan you did your Mum last year! Thank you for your podcast you are amazing! 💜🧶💜
Love your work and your channel. 😍 Thank you so much for explaining so many things!!!! 😘😘
You are so welcome!
Your Islander genser looks fantastic! I love the way the hand dyed yellow looks!
Oh thank you!
Your explanation about hiding the short rows is great. I actually know the two way of doing it but I can never remember which looks best in what situation and always need to look it up. I think that with your explanation I might actually remember it.
Hi Inga! Thank you for this lovely podcast, I really enjoyed it. Your colorwork sweater with biches et bûches wool is just going to be exquisite 🤩🤩 Happy knitting!
Always happy to find a new episode on your channel. It’s so nice to have you keep me company over my morning knitting and coffee. Oh my gosh! I so want to do the Fields of Gold sweater! The color you are making is so pretty and will look lovely on you. I bought the pattern when it was released and have swatched with my Nutiden but am finding the pattern to be a bit intimidating. I know I can do it but I have a Marie Wallin all over color-work cardigan the go that requires a lot of attention to detail (which is not my strong suit) so once is finished, I will consider starting Bella’s beautiful pattern. Thank you for the German short row info. I will be looking into using that method next time a pattern calls for wrap and turns.
Inga! Thank you for making it a Happy Monday for me! I am so excited as I will be purchasing my first Nutiden! After seeing your beautiful sweater I am even more excited!
Hope you like it!
Love your yarn and color choice for the Talvinen!! When I made mine, it knit up so fast because the pattern is so addictive, such an amazing pattern❤ I want to make another one now!
Fantastic Podcast!!! I can’t wait to see your newest color work sweater. You keep me inspired.😊❤
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks Inga…. Your podcasts are so informative! Watching you from Joseph Oregon USA
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information regardig the german shortrows. I will definitely keep an eye out to test that in my knitting too! 💜
I'm going to enjoy your test driving the exquisite Fields of Gold sweater for me. I bought it last year the day it was introduced. I was using unspun Manchelopis for it but couldn't wrap my brain around the cast on and it was my first time using unspun. I put it into time out and knit a Ranunculus and a shawl out of the yarn. I realized that holding mohair with the unspun is key. I'm waiting (im)patiently for a Nutiden update and plan on revisiting this lovely sweater. I too will be adding length to the body and sleeves. Sometimes I guess we have to challenge ourselves and climb sweater mountain but its worth it when we get to wear the garment. Thanks for always inspiring us.
the castoon is good for toe up socks if you feel like practicing with sock yarn first :) or for hot water bottle covers ;)
My first time watching your videos. Beautiful, insightful episode! Thank you! Can’t wait to see how all of your WIP’s turn out. 💕
Thank you so much!
Greetings from Poland. I like watching you very much?😊
Thank you! 😃
seeing your half and half triangles wrap made me want to finally knit one! i love that color combo and the i-cord edging :)
I wasn’t sure about the yellow I’m your colorwork sweater but I should have trusted the vision. I’m loving it sooo much! I can’t wait to see how it comes out and what happens with the neckline. And your nutiden sweater what a gorgeous motif and color. Sad they only sell colorways in such limited quantities. I want some!! And this last colorwork is also beautiful. I’ve used the same brand for their silk mohair and it’s completely gorgeous. The lambs wool looks super decadent. It’s going to be an amazing sweater when you’re done. I totally agree with you about the short rows. I would want those by the collar too. I’ll def have to remember that trick next time I see a pattern with them in a weird place. Great video as always! ❤❤
so so inspiring, thank you! I am planning a Nutiden sweater soon and that Talvinen sweater with B&B yarn is drool worthy.
I'm glad you're making the Fields of Gold sweater because it's on my to make list:)
Hi! 👋For the edging of your self drafted sweater I would suggest you alternate knitting and purling one round for about 4-6 rounds total. It has worked beautifully for me on a lacy blouse with a sloped front.
I finished the Talvinen this year and it is one of my favorite sweaters! I love your color combinations! Now to go watch Annie, also!
I'm sensitive to alpaca too, I can't have it near my face or neck, but wool is fine, even scratchy wool
Hi Inga, great podcast! I thought I was the only one who thought 'bitches and bushes' 🤣 I am, like you, a bit of a knitting addict, but it could have been worse, I could be addicted to something harmful so nothing to worry about. I'm currently knitting the watchman cap by Laura Sorbara for my man❤, I hope it fits. Much love xxx
you definitely aren't the only one!
So much fantastic information is this episode, thank you! ❤
You are so welcome!
Hi Inga. Love to sit and knit while I watch your podcasts.
Tusen takk for ei koselig strikkestund! Så mykje fint du har på pinnene om dagen ☺️
Your sweater (and you) are just so stunning! I love how you marled the white mohair with a lighter colored mohair. That's such a fantastic idea!
Thank you so much!!
Oh Inga! You are too funny with your yarn stash. I agree that yarn makes for lovely decor.
Thank you! This podcast is full of inspiration ❣️
Thank you
The Biches Et Buches Yarn!! What fabulous colors! I can't wait to see that sweater done!
Me too!!
Oh yes, the tulip 🌷 sweater in that nutiden would be perfect!
Love your podcast. I had to laugh at your basket of Linen Quill. I have a smaller collection.
Thank you for this Video. So much beautiful thinks 🤩
I definitely stash yarn in baskets around the house. I also fill the couch with project bags and carry them with me wherever I go: I too am a compulsive knitter and yarn squirrel. 🐿
love it!
I also keep making sweaters on very small needles, because that is what I love wearing. I actually find that my hands prefer small needles too (the hard part is that it really does take awhile to knit a whole sweater!). Your Islander-patterned sweater is gorgeous, and I'm curious to see if you change the neckline. Thank you for sharing that you consider yarn a home-decoration too! That is my excuse for having yarn in my living room, and bedroom, and sometimes sitting near the pantry door. I just started an Abundance Cowl by Yigitcan Vatansever, and have a raglan pullover with mock-cable details on my needles as well. 💖
I used le petite lambs wool and their mohair in that color to make the ranunculus. It is gorgeous
I have the same problem. I have a tiny houseand I'm usually in the living room, as my house is 100 yrs old, which mea s it has NO insulation AT ALL! In winter, you can see your breath plus humid cold, in summer, it's usually 25 to 30° hotter+humid, rarely is it middle of the road. Most of my yarn is there, but to avoid going back & forth switching projects, I get a bag or basket w them, but then I can't decide on colors or have to let problem knits marinate to the side. I don't realize just how fast (minutes), my big bags or basket carrying multiple projects begin to overflow & overtake every inch of the living room. Because the house, specially the living room is so tiny, anything not properly (to the inch) in place makes it look messy, even when it's organized.
Tusen takk for en koselig strikkestund 🥰
your fields of gold is looking amazing!
Thank you for sharing with us Inga 🧡. I really appreciate how you suggest and use all types of yarns cause sometimes these suggested yarns in patterns can get quite expensive 😅.
You are so welcome! i love the freedom of just choosing the yarn i want and not be restricted to suggested yarns, its a whole new world out there to knit up :D
@@knittingtraditions I can’t wait to explore all the yarns out there. I started knitting in 2021 so I’m still a beginner but I’m really enjoying it. So happy I found your channel 💜
I have yarn all over the house…including in my desk I use for work 😂
confession, i sometimes have yarn in my desk AT work
@@knittingtraditions oh good! I’m not the only one 🤣💗
I never like knitting sweaters bottom up. Your Eastlander is gorgeous.
Hi Inga. I love your podcasts.
Thank you so much!
I think you could get away with almost any colour Inga. Your lovely brown eyes might make blue the only colour you have to avoid but teal and navy would suit you fine. On the other hand, your usual choices cause you to glow. 🎉
thank you ! i Find i can like the look of a bright blue like royal blue or mint but otherwise blues are not for me :P
Hi Inga. I’m from Minnesota and was wondering why you called the Motif ‘Islander’. I have a Norwegian friend here that calls my Norwegian sweater an Islander. I thought it was typical Norwegian and not Icelandic. It has lice pattern all over. LOVE YOUR SHOW!
not sure where the name originated from but those patterned sweaters with those lice like motifs all over are always refered to as islender genser here
If anyone is interested in knitting a sweater like the islander, skeindeer as a pattern in English that is quite similar.
Hei Inga :) Maybe you could knit a moss stich after the short rows on your grey improvised pullover. I find this is a nice flat edging :) Thank you for your lovely podcast
Great idea! and that would work with the Gsr too :D Thank you !!
@@knittingtraditions great! Thank you too :))
I love an icord edge, can not stand German short rows although I prefer them to wrap and turns but I can never ever resolve them without a hole. 😡. So frustrating. X
Thanks Inga ☀️ I follow your color work method of holding both strands in my left hand and of catching on the third stitch, my floats when needed. Is it okay to catch in the same place on consecutive rounds? Or do you shift where you catch on each round? Your color work always looks great.
I washed and laid to dry my Ingrid Slipover last night. Now I must go check on it and see if it’s dried😊 I used Linen Quill worsted. I love the heathered look of the colors in LQ. And it’s so soft.
i make sure to always change where i catch it so its not the same place to rows in a row :D
@@knittingtraditions Thank you, Inga! Happy knitting and have a blessed week at work☀️🤍🧶
Если горловина будет широкая, можно из под резинки набрать петли и связать ещё резиночку, чтобы она выглядывала из под первой на 2-3см. Будет хорошо и тепло.
Did you bind off your 1/2 & 1/2 with i-cord? LOVE your show. Can't believe how much you create. 😘
no i did a regular bindoff to match the cast on so only two sides are i cord
Hi Inga, how many stitches did you used for your Half and half triangle wrap, and what is its finished dimensions? The basket full of Linen Quilt is a great idea and very pretty. I hope you eventually design and publish garments, I would like to knit your slippers but I need a pattern to hold my hand, I also enjoy collecting patterns. Your colour choices for the Islender is beautiful, I will have to search for the pattern. Thank you for another wonderful podcast.
I did the 260 sts so the large, unsure about the dimensions as its currently drying on the bathroom floor but its biig hehe
Hello Inga,thank you another enjoyable and inspiring video! I just cannot say how much I enjoy your podcasts and knitting journey. I’m still trying to find a mohair cone sourced closer to the USA, yet to find one! I was watching a very early episode and just wondered do you still have your dog PIA? Knit well, hugs, ClaudiaSJI
no she passed away two years ago sadly
I'm not a sock-knitter but I think what you're doing is called an afterthought heel.
afterthought or cut in heel yes. it doesnt have the safety line of scrap yarn in this method which a classic afterthought heel often do so its often reffered to as cut in heel but not sure if it also has other names then these two
Inga, can you please direct us to a source on the method you knitting your socks? Thank you for the fun videos.
Il try to do a video tutorial one day soon hopefully
@@knittingtraditions My first pair of socks I made was when I was 11 years old living in Sweden. I am now relearning how to knit socks and more, and living in San Francisco.
😍👍🌹 Инга ты очень интересно вяжешь!
The French still in their own world - Biches & Buches - what a coincidence 😹
Thank you Inga, so many good tips! Did you ever use Heilo yarn, I have quite a bit....
its out of production so its not possible to get it anymore unfortunately
You had me cracking up at bitches and bushes!!!! Love you Inga 🤣🤣🤣
💃🏼🌳🌚💕
Hej Inga - vild med din podcast - dejligt du prioriterer det midt i en travl karriere 🎉 Hjælp mig lige med dine erfaringer ift. Half+Half wrap - har du to tråde Woolyknit på pindene eller blot en tråd? Og tusind tak for inspiration til Woolyknits cones - jeg er nu den lykkelige ejer af virkelig mange skønne cones 😅
Kun en tråd😁💕
Hi Inga. Great podcast. It is amazing how much you knit between each podcast´s. Do you have a recommendation for yarn store in Istanbul?
i wasnt knitting at the time i was in istanbul last so unfortunately no, i recomend googeling yarn shsop on google maps and see whats within range:)
Ok . Thank you!
54:15 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always enjoy your podcasts. What language did you use to study in Poland?
English :D
Inga that doesn’t make sense doing the German short rows in different places because don’t the German short rows shape the garment so it will be making a different shape in a different spot and change the pattern, right
German short rows creates extra fabriv i a rounded shape wheteher that after the neckline under a yoke or at the bottom of a sweater, it can be made knitting past the Gsr each time resolving them row by row or done with turning before the gsr stitch each time knitting it shorter. the two differetn ways and placement in the project will affect where the gsr stitches are in the fabric if that makes sense
Hi Inga. I changed the way I resolve my German short rows because, like you I could see them and I didn’t like the look. I’m so pleased with the difference. Nimble Needles has a fantastic tutorial. Noth-cam.com/video/i_F8A5Lyz88/w-d-xo.html
oh thank you so much !! definetely checking it out
Bitches and bushes 😂❤
What a waste of time! What's the purpose of this video?
To learn new techniques, see what someone else is knitting in order to get ideas for future projects, learn about different types of yarn, occasionally learn about living in Norway, see what modifications can be made to patterns in order to suit your individual tastes, explore different pattern designers and just simply listen to someone else who is passionate about knitting. That’s what I get from these videos from Inga.
What is your purpose I wonder in making any negative comment about something you chose to watch. Content creators share their time and knowledge with the world. You share your negativity.
I listen to this as I create and knit. And Inga’s discussion regarding the benefits of knitting is spot on. Give it a try. As a fellow physician , knitting has always given me the balance needed to provide healthcare to everyone , including folks that are struggling with negativity .
So happy for your podcast , Inga❤
