Most of us have made that horrifying mistake of spoiling a hand knit when hurrying. It is heartbreaking but you are not alone! Beautiful projects. I look forward to looking at your hand dyeing guide. Thank you for creating it!
Ok bless your little heart with your jumper that shrunk! I really feel for you, at the same time it is kind of cute, you can give it to your little niece. xx
Your pocasts are so under rated. Its fabulous information and wonderful patterns. I have a few podcasts i watch because they are good. I include yours in that list. Congratulations 🎉❤
Oh your sweater broke my heart! The first sweater I ever made my dear husband trying to help washed it! Luckily for me, it didn’t felt so much as it shrank! Also, luckily enough I had a dear friend the it fit perfectly! You have inspired me so much to get my Nutiden out after Christmas and begin a project! All your knitting is always so lovely! But the sweater you are swearing is just so stunning!
I love the Italian bind off but I always do it by putting alternate stitches on two dpns and then do Kitchener stitch, which I know by heart and find very easy.
I totally agree - 10/15 cm max for me as well. But I do have to say, a lot of positive ease can look awesome on some people! It all comes down to personal preference/body type, I guess.
I found your podcast while looking at your project page on Ravelry for the Porcelain Damask sweater. I've just ordered my yarn to make it, yay! I am now a new subscriber, thank you for the inspiration!
This makes me so happy to hear, thank you so much for sharing! 😊❤ The Porcelain Damask sweater was definitely one of my favorite makes of 2024, so I can only highly recommend it!
I did exactly the same with a much-loved cardigan last year! Like you, I couldn’t believe I had put it in the machine; lesson learned for sure. I’m currently knitting a replacement: Dexter by Isabel Kramer. Thank you for your videos - such lovely ideas, thoughtfully curated, and your English is impeccable. I’m so delighted you say ‘fewer’ stitches. When I hear ‘less’ stitches it sets my teeth on edge! 😂
Lovely podcast. As for me,I am currently knitting a baby blanket from the pattern Baby Blanket "Arthur" for my daughter who is having a baby in May. She lives on the west coast of Canada, so I thought the little whale motifs were appropriate. Have a wonderful Christmas!
So many beautiful knitting projects and FOs. Specially No.28 was of interest since Im doing it my self after xmas with Nutiden and alpakka følgetråd. I have the yarn ready:) So Im now knitting on Sandnesgarn Julegenser new addition in tynn peer gynt, Terrazzo sweater in a gorgeous blend of meriono/cashmer/mohairesilk and Norma sweater in yarn from dog and angora, very interesting to knit up and see how it will hold up. Wish you a happy advent
Thank you so much for your comment! A yarn with a blend of dog and angora sounds very interesting, what's the name of the brand? Happy advent season to you as well!
Put me down as another viewer who did the same thing (felted a beloved hand- knit sweater). 🤦🏻♀ Just discovered your videos and am really enjoying them. I love your detailed descriptions and your design choices. I look forward to more in the future.
Lovely projects! I’m knitting a Versal jumper by Ailbiona, in nutiden and silk mohair. Double nutiden is too hot for our climate, especially today, when we reached 41 degrees in Melbourne, Australia. Not that it stops me knitting….
41°C - wow! In the region of Germany where I live, it can get to the upper thirties during summer as well. But I have to say, the older I get, I seem to be able to handle those hot temperatures less and less... 🙈
Ohhh Annika, how sad to hear about your cardigan! Snefnug is beautiful and the colour is almost simular. Love your pillow. So sweet! I’m making a kind of musselbrugh hat, and finished my Fieldsweater which is stunning en so nice to make. Next I’ll make a Alaska sweater, I think
The Italian knitter has a good tutorial which is how I do it; I only can do it this way, it’s just like Kitchener stitch, I use dpns , with stoppers and seperate the knits and purls, on different coloured dpns, and just Kitchener them off, add more on, Kitchener off, etc. and it’s much easier and neater; I’m talking about the Italian bind off😊
@ hi Anne, if you do, I want to tell you this is where your needle stoppers come in handy, on the end of the main needle, as I just dropped my stitches not doing that, plus on the end of the two dpns, then when you have enough stitches, and are ready to Kitchener, switch the two to the other end, and good to put one on both ends of main needle! It’s the only way I could do this 🤶
I just recently finished knitting the Timepiece Cardigan so I know how much effort went into your pink one! I'm so sorry and I think it's perfectly ok to mourn the loss of it! Love all your projects. I'm mostly gift knitting lots of hats right now, but I am making good progress so it's all going fine. Merry Christmas to you!
Thank you so much for your compassion regarding my Timepiece cardigan! I am currently knitting a hat as a gift as well. 😀 Merry Christmas to you, too, Jessica! 🎄❤
Oh dear! So sorry about your beautiful cardigan, it was so lovely; it is an absolutely adorable looking toddler version now 😉 and I hope you find someone who will love it. I have been interested in the Sweater No. 28, but I am not sure about the silhouette, so very interested to see how yours turns out. Currently I am knitting a sweater for my brother, the Choose Your Fellowship pattern by Sarah Kelly, and working against the clock to finish! A Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and your compassion! ❤ To be honest, I also wasn't sure about the silhouette of the Sweater No. 28. But I figured, if it looks somehow odd, at least it will be absolutely cozy and very comfortable to lounge in around the house. 😄
Liebe Annika, oh wie schade,der tolle cardigan......ich leide mit dir,denn ich kann mir denken, wie schlimm das sein musste,als du die Waschmaschine geöffnet hast. Dasselbe ist mir bei meinen Lieblingssocken aus selbstgesponnenem Garn passiert, aber das war nicht so schlimm, als bei deinem Cardigan. Kopf hoch, dein nächster wird besti mmt wieder schön. Deine Idee mit selbstkreiertem colorworkmuster für deinen neuen cardigan ist genial, ich bin wieder mal inspiriiert,mich endlich an das Stricken mit Nutidengarn zu wagen. Alles Liebe Christine
Liebe Christine, vielen lieben Dank für die mitfühlenden Worte! Das Stricken mit ungesponnener Wolle solltest du definitiv probieren - vielleicht ein guter Vorsatz für 2025?! 😉😊
That was such a beautiful cardigan, I‘m really sorry for you. Yes, there are more important things than a cardigan, but we can all understand you being sad. I am knitting the Timepiece Cardigan with Nutiden yarn in Apostrof and than the Champagne Cardigan in Woollentwine Thrive
Thank you for your compassion, Alexandra! ❤ Your projects sound so lovely, would you mind sharing your Ravelry name (if you are on Ravelry)? I would love to have a look at them.
@AnnikaScheer so kind of you, thank you so much ❤️ my Ravelry name is CookieandSugar. Should be Cookie, Sugar, Toasty and Biscuit as our little dog group expended a bit 😉
@ vielen Dank 😊 Gebe ich gerne an die Rasselbande weiter. Ich finde es auch immer schön, wenn Dein Hund da ist - der ist ja bildschön 😍. Ich weiß tatsächlich nicht, ob ich bei deutschen Podcast, welche in englisch abgehalten werden, auf deutsch oder englisch antworten soll. Ist es Dir wichtig, dass alle mitlesen können? Ich übe jedenfalls mein Englisch und bin begeistert, dass Du so flüssig sprichst
@@alexandradegruyter Vielen Dank für die lieben Worte! Ich denke, jeder soll einfach in der Sprache schreiben, in der es für ihn am besten passt. Natürlich ist es einfacher, wenn das auf Englisch ist, so dass alle mitlesen können. Aber wenn man sich im Englischen einfach nicht so wohl fühlt, finde ich es überhaupt nicht schlimm, wenn man lieber in seiner Muttersprache schreibt. 🙂
I bought a lovely pair of linen pants once. I a hurry after only a couple of wears I put them in the washing machine and ruined them. I also was so sad.🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
That is such a nice offer, thank you so much! ❤ I think I will try to knit a replacement with the Camarose Snefnug - but if this doesn't turn out, I will definitely get back to you. Thank you!!
Just after my husband and I got married I felted his favorite ski sweater...he still likes me tho so it wasn't the end but we both understand how you feel about your cardigan. sorry
Oh nein Annika, das tut mir so leid mit deinem timepiece cardigan. Falls du 300gr Livslinje brauchst kann ich dir hier in den US etwas besorgen. Lg, Kar Win
Das ist sehr lieb, vielen herzlichen Dank für das Angebot!! ❤ Ich denke, ich versuche mir jetzt erstmal mit Camarose Snefnug einen Ersatz Cardigan zu stricken. Sollte das nicht so werden, wie ich es mir vorstelle, würde ich mich einfach nochmal melden. Danke! 🙃
What I'm wearing:
Porcelain Damask Sweater by Lene Holme Samsøe: www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/porcelain-damask-sweater-solo

Thank you so, so much for your kind words! ❤ I hope you enjoy the natural dyeing guide!
Your Christmas decorations are magical! And I also enjoyed your podcast as usually 🤎☕
Thank you so much! ❤ I just saw that you published a new video today - I'm going to watch it later tonight. 😊
@@AnnikaScheer Oh thank you! I enjoy your every video 🥰
Ok bless your little heart with your jumper that shrunk! I really feel for you, at the same time it is kind of cute, you can give it to your little niece. xx
Thank you 😊 - now I only have to decide to which one of my nieces I will give the shrunken cardigan (I have three).
Your pocasts are so under rated. Its fabulous information and wonderful patterns. I have a few podcasts i watch because they are good. I include yours in that list. Congratulations 🎉❤
That's so kind of you, thank you so much for your lovely comment! ❤
So sooey about your cardigan. Lesson learned, but things happen. 😊
Right - that won't happen to me again!!

I love the Italian bind off but I always do it by putting alternate stitches on two dpns and then do Kitchener stitch, which I know by heart and find very easy.
I will definitely try the Kitchener stitch technique for the Italian bind off next time! It sounds so much easier. Thanks for the tip! 👍🙂
i totally agree with the oversized patterns. I like no more than 10 - 15 cm of ease.
I totally agree - 10/15 cm max for me as well.

That sounds so sweet! I spent my honeymoon on the West coast of Canada - what a wonderful place to live! ❤️
Thank you for this podcast, wishing you all the best during the holidays. ❤
Thank you so much Janet, I'm wishing you the same! ❤
So fun and surprising to hear you mention yarn from my LYS, Hill Country Weavers!
How lucky you are to have such a beautiful yarn store as your LYS! 😊 Their selection is incredible. Have you knitted with their own yarn line yet?

Thank you so much, Martine!
The Alaska sweater and the Field sweater are both completely gorgeous, they had to go into my favorites. 😊
@ Thanks for your reaction! I loved the grain making of the sweater. It was less difficult than I thought it would be. Just to encourage you.

Thanks for the great tip! Doing it like this seems a lot more manageable - I will definitely try the kitchener stitch method next time. 😊
