Hi Claire! I'm always so happy when you post a new video. Your videos are my comfort watch every time. Your purple lace tee and Sheep Camp sweater are incredible! I'm not a sewer at all but wow, your projects blew my mind. When you tried on your bedsheet dress, I actually gasped! And that gingham pintuck one...I think that's my dream dress! I love seeing all the projects you've been up to. Looking forward to your next video already.
Hi Claire, I was super excited to see another video of yours pop up to watch. Yours are always my favorite to watch on a chill morning with my own knitting. And the insights that you bring to your design process are really helpful when thinking about knitting myself too. I love seeing all the things you make, and this time was no exception! I hope you have a good time at Reinebeck, and get to wear your wonderful sewn and knit garments!
Your handspun Harlow is absolutely GORG!!! I always love your handspun so much. I haven’t spun anything for a few months, you’re inspiring me to get back to my wheel ❤
You're a talented human, there Claire. I love how you analyze your sweaters. I just got my knitting mojo back after a long dry summer and it feels good to be at it again. Your podcast was quite timely. Thanks!
Your Sheep Camp looks amazing! I’m also glad to hear that I’m not the only one cross stitching because of Amy Beth. I’m currently sitting in my cozy cross stitch nest while getting over a bout of covid which has thankfully not been too bad.
Hi Claire, your Azor yoke modification is so good! Yay. Love your projects, both sewing and knitting :) Im working on a Vilma top in one strand of plotulopi, which I think will turn out pretty great for the Danish fall weather. My other bigger tip is the Kordy Pullover in Lettlopi, so only Icelandic wool on the needles here. Check in soon, always a pleasure. Take care, Ida
i’m always so happy to see your comments, ida! the vilma top is soo lovely, i definitely have my eye on it. and i love the kordy too! it will be so cozy in lettlopi! happy knitting :))
@@purlwise.knitting I think I will be going after all! It's close enough to be a day trip for me, so I am gonna go for it. I'd love to get the chance to meet you! 😻
You're such a talented knitter and I love seeing all your colourwork. Your color pairings are always so good! For fit w/ circular yokes, I was reading that if you're moving the sieeves when separating, to only do it by a few stitches vs multiple inches. A little goes a long way, apparently. And since your yokes are turning out big, i know that sometimes people will pick a size based on upper bust measurement then cast on the extra stitches they need when they split for sleeves. I hope to see you post again before rhinebeck, but if not have a great time!!
Hi Claire, I always love listening to your thought processes and your knitting is so neat. It´s remarkable. Also your sowing is inspiring to me. I still have a week of my summer vacation left. Forecast shows rain for the better part of that week. Should be ideal to finally get started with my pile of sowing projects and start a colourwork cardigan as my first fall knitting project. Lots of love to you from Germany.
thank you so much for watching, and for your comment! i hope your rainy week of making is going well, it sounds like a perfect last week of summer to me!!
You know what I’ve started doing with my knitted tops, pairing them with hand sound skirts try sewing some skirts and you’ll love wearing the outfits together
I’ve also been having lots of thoughts about my circular yoke sweaters recently. I get a bit of bunching in the same spot you were pointing to. But I know I’ll make more in future because I love the designs so much. My ruminating at the moment is that maybe my upper bust is disproportionately smaller than my full bust. Because my chest sits quite low, like the widest measurement is a pretty far below where I separate for sleeves. So I’ve been considering for my next one that I’ll size down for the colourwork and then do some increases after finishing the yoke. Or maybe cast on quite a few extra underarm stitches? Lol I’m just thinking out loud into your comments 😂 maybe this is not a fully fleshed out plan… Anyway! I love the ways you’re finding to use your handspun. They feel very timeless
hahaha, feel free to think out loud here any time! i do think that might be my issue as well. i think my bust is proportionally small for my size… so much to consider. but it’s true that it’s worth considering because there are so many lovely round yoke sweaters out there!
Beautiful knits! The purple lace tee looks amazing on you. Just had to chime in to say I’m pretty sure that yarn is named after an old Metric song (Succexy) 😊 which is a thing I know because I am old 😂
I made an Azor earlier this year! It was very fun to knit and it’s quite pretty; I think my only quibble is I could’ve done with fewer short rows / something about the fit feels a SMIDGE off but I’m struggling to articulate it without the piece in front of me
hmmm yes there are quite a lot of short rows at the back under the yoke, i could see it maybe feeling too long back there?? but we’ll see! i feel like maybe some of them could be moved to the back of the neck instead.
Having the same round yoke issues as well.... my sleeves feel too big, as does the front. Thinking next time I will experiment with using my upper bust measurements for the yolk then increase to full bust size.

Hey, just a tip how you measure hats it’s 7 inches for the crown 4 inches for the cuff and another 4 inches if you want to turn the cuff
Beautiful knits! The purple lace tee looks amazing on you. Just had to chime in to say I’m pretty sure that yarn is named after an old Metric song (Succexy) 😊 which is a thing I know because I am old 😂
hahaha i think you must be right!! i haven’t thought about metric in a long time… so thank you for the reminder!
WHAAAT! That's why your hair always look so good! What's the fabric store? I wanna come visit (and ask a ton of questions). :)

this seems to be what i should try next as well!
Have you ever used Illimani Sabri?! One of my favorite yarns of all time and sounds right up your street for summer.
i have not! but i’d love to try it, thanks for the suggestion!
I love the pleats! Do you use a special foot on your machine for that?
thanks patricia!! the pintucks are sewn with a 1/4 inch seam allowance so i used a 1/4 inch foot i bought for quilting!
Go Claire
😎
I never get circular yokes to fit me nicely :(
