    Just want to take a moment of appreciation for the stop motion work you do in a lot of your videos. It's a lot of work, very well done and it always makes me smile! 😊👏
    Also, moving is so stressful! Happy it all went well! ❤ The blouses/sweaters are beautiful on you and you look positively radiant! 😍

    My goodness, woman, HOW??? I'm so impressed you knit that entire adorable sweater while packing! I had to move just across town and could do nothing else for months.

    I just want to take a moment to say how I always appreciate how you respect your partner's privacy! You've made reference to their office space at your old east coast place, we saw a hand petting Nutella, but other than that their presence is completely off-screen, and I really appreciate that!
    Good luck with settling into your new place and your new life on a different coast!

    Marguerites is what a lot of countries call the humble daisy. So you weren't wrong calling it that. They both came out very cute, but the colour of the second is my favourite on you.

    • @amywelliver538
      @amywelliver538 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The pattern name is much fancier-sounding with "Marguerite" than Daisy in the title, isn't it?

    The stop motion animation bit with the lace-like parts are so adorable! Your videos are always such a treat

    Both of your sweaters are lovely!
    And welcome to California! The vintage community here is both huge and welcoming!
    (I’m currently knitting a 1930s chevron pullover with typically dense instructions, including no schematics and no indication of what the gauge should be. 😜)

    How I wish I could knit in the car but I get really bad travel sickness 😅Glad your move went smoothly and how nice to have those memories attached to the different tops!

    I’m also moving (not quite 3000 miles) and can concur having straight stockinette to relax with for an hour at the end of the day is a relief

    My eternal crochet struggle is starting summer projects in the summer, and then finishing them in the fall, just as it gets too cold to wear them! And vice versa for cozy blankets and whatnot. One day I’ll figure it out, lmao

    • @crystald3655
      @crystald3655 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What helps me is to start something in the opposite season so it's finished by the time the season it's intended for arrives.

    such beautiful buttons! I have a Bolero that i made that just needed one button and it was a glass button i dug up while gardening many years ago 🤣

    The 2 knits turned out beautifully! Thanks for taking the time to make this video, although all the moving stress 💜

  • @DeeDeeCatMom

    Now the big question because I'm not caught up, where did your doggie go? Did you fly them out to Utah? And also, that Marguerite sweater is gorgeous!

  • @rebeccagibson7881

    there's a lot to love about this video but watching the button choices was my favorite!

  • @Nessi-dances
    @Nessi-dances 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Welcome to California! Yes, moving is so hecking stressful, good to have some stress knitting on hand. How did Nutella get to Utah? Both sweaters look so cute!

  • @nataliestanchevski4628

    Both sweaters are beautiful and look fabulous on you! I love the pleated shoulders on the daisy sweater.

  • @kellyrose3905
    @kellyrose3905 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Welcome to California! If you're actually going to be in the bay area, you should check out A Verb for Keeping Warm, an Oakland yarn shop that specializes in naturally dyed textiles, and Stonemountain and Daughter, which is my favorite fabric store for garment sewing. I hope you like it here!

  • @jonharker888

  • @lexidc3940
    @lexidc3940 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    thank you for those bits of explanation regarding your chosen yarns! I live in a tropical country so we have mostly warm weather year-round. I've been wanting to try vintage knitting but choosing the yarn has been one of my problems. I'll definitely try local bamboo cotton mixes. congrats on the move! the sweaters were beautifully made 😊

  • @gillianjepson4950

  • @kaizma88
    @kaizma88 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love both sweaters! Can't believe you were living 2.5 hours from me. I always thought you lived in the Midwest. Driving cross country must be exhausting but no better way to see the USA!

    Congratulations on moving and for completing two sweaters WHILE moving! The final pieces are so pretty. Your journal segment reminded me that my family used to have that same shuttle spindle pen -- I wonder where it is nowadays :~)

    Linen yarn is a pain in the but to knit with 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Come to think of it, moving has to be one of the most stressful tasks, along with working with linen, cotton or any other plant based yarns! Wow, you reminded me that I have a bottle of vintage buttons my great grandmother passed to my grandmother then mother then me😊

  • @kathleenhensley5951
    @kathleenhensley5951 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Marguerite is a kind of daisy. very large, handsome plant it would be a perennial where you live. You are such a speedy knitter and magnificent work.

  • @kathwhitehead9012
    @kathwhitehead9012 ปีที่แล้ว

    Both are amazing, I love vintage knits. The Marguerite sweater is called that because that's what the flower is. It's a large 3-4 inch daisy type flower.

  • @mariebray9831
    @mariebray9831 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's interesting to see the patterns knitted in non-wool yarn, both look great. Nutella looked so happy in the truck with you. I'm knitting little white socks in mostly stocking stich, and yes I agree that it's relaxing to knit and not think too much.

    The fact that you can knit and not need to look at your work is amazing to me!
    I just want to learn how to knit socks!
    BTW, I currently live in Maine, though I am originally from California. I’ve lived in Maine for 17 years now.
    My favorite place to vacation in California is Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Hope you get the opportunity to explore the northern pacific coastline.

    @annh.8290 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice trip video, the sweaters turned out lovely. Northern Calif isn't as cold as the east coast, but I must say, with the moisture in the air it can get you cold to the bone. It is a lovely state, I hope you enjoy yourselves.

    I think that pattern was shown along with skiing outfits and I think it’s edelweiss an alpine flower that starts out a little greenish or whitish in the center and blooms a small yellow there’s five little round circles in the center of the flower PS you didn’t say where you’re moving out west so just a few hints we lived in the high desert north of LA And the temperature can drop from one extreme to another as much as 40 to 60° in a single day so don’t give away your sweaters that you think are for winter and in LA a lot of people wear a sweater in the morning and then tie it around their neck but they always start out in shorts it’s kind of like a tennis outfit reminds me of have fun and keep us posted

    I’m supposed to be packing up to move this weekend and knew I was working today (Saturday) and now working part of Sunday. And I’m supposed to have the house packed by this upcoming Friday. But all I want to do is finish my Crescendo sweater. And ignore that only half of my house is packed. 😭😭
    But you’re a braver lady than me! No way would I even attempt color work in a moving truck!! Both sweaters came out beautiful!! If you ever write a pattern update for it in the round that go up into plus sized let me know ASAP!! ❤️❤️
