Yay you're back ! 😊 the red suits you 👍 the cardy fits perfect, wow you did say you wanted a big garden blanket the colours are so cheerful, thank you for sharing take care have a great weekend xx
Really lovely cardigan and great colour for you. The socks will be so comfy and nice to look at 😅. Great idea for your blanket, perfect and will keep you cosy too. I must try the Tolsa Tee, especially putting extra detail here the there. Thanks Tina, hoping your back is soon better. ❤
Thank you so much. Yes the Tolsta is a really great pattern to knit repeatedly in different ways. It also comes with extra ideas how others have knit it 😃
Nice to see you Tina. Sorry your back is a bit iffy. Your cardigan is great, so easy and wearable. Your Tolsta will be great. I have that pattern and need to get busy! Love the granny square blanket - perfect for its intended purpose and will give you years of warmth and smiles as you remember the various projects. I see Foxy in the background still looking like the diva she is. Take care and see you in the next video 🥰🇨🇦
Thank you so much, yes she is still on the scene. Vixen seems to think she needs a bikini top for this years road trip . She may be lucky 😁 Have a great weekend
Great knits! The granny blanket is fabulous too. I love projects that use up all the leftover bits, and it's fun to remember all of the original projects as you work it up. Hope your summer is going great!
❤❤lovely to see you, Tina 💗 Hoping ur back gets better soon,,,, Love that sweater on you,,, And ur socks looks so pretty,,, Wow!!that beautiful blanket,,,, 💝 ELAINE 🏡💕
I love how your cardigan turned out and your socks and the blanket! I really like them all, I don't just say it 😊 I've made a similar blanket myself with my leftovers a couple of years ago. That time though instead of waiting to gather more leftovers to finish it, I just order similar yarn. Next time I'll do it like you did! Red is one of my favorite colours, looking forward to see your progress on your new project which I think it will really look great! Looking forward to seeing you again 🥰👕🧶
Yes me to . I really enjoy a podcast, coffee and my knitting. It does feel like like we are all connected, sharing the highs and lows of knitting. It's comforting to know we all face the same setbacks and helps me move forward 😁
Tina! I love it when you put up a new knitting video ❤...... Now, you taught me how to knit socks, and you taught me how to knit my first winter wine sweater....And you gave me my thirst for knitting. Could you show us how you start off your granny stipe blanket?...... I know there are tons of videos out there, and I have watched them..However, you just have the knack of explaining everything so clearly with your tutorials ... Is there any chance you could show us your way? ❤😊❤ xx
I definitely wouldn't feel confident teaching crochet. I have learnt everything from @bellacoco . She is a great teacher . I learnt by doing it while watching , pausing the video to keep up, pulling back and redoing . I definitely wasn't a quick learner but with patience I got there . Good luck , it's not hard, just different to knitting 😃
Yay!!! I have truly missed your knitting videos! You do lovely work and use yarns that are afforable and not a mixture of holding a mohair with another expensive yarn that makes tackling a project scary if you are not an experienced knitter. (I have learned to knit by watching you and using your tutorials!!!)
Great to see you back Tina and I'm glad your back is a bit better. It can take a while to recover from back pain, I can empathise with you . Your Ballou cardi is really l9vely on you, I think I would make much tge same modifications as you. Glad that you have found the right recipe for your socks. The red in the merino cotton looks a gorgeous colour. I've made the Tolsta previously too and would like to make another too, it is so versatile the pattern . I might give that yarn a try. Where did you get your gorgeous butterfly bag, I love it ? Thanks Tina, take care Xx
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. The bag is from Accessorise a few years ago . It was a gift from my son . Unfortunately he's not with the girlfriend that worked there anymore, shame , she had great taste 🤣
Hi ... your sweater is lovely on you. I just checked your page on Ravelry and see your pink "Ballou" sweater which you posted in 2017. Wondering where I can find the specifics of your changes (in writing vs hearing your description on TH-cam) regarding your current lovely teal green Ballou. Thank you in advance!
Such a Happy Blanket!! Love green/blue sweater! Love the “No Buttons” cardigan, I have an aversion to sewing buttons (harking back to my younger/“blouse” days… I’d sew them on sooo well, they’d never fall off, all the while getting knots in thread cuz too long… All that to say “when” I’d sew on a button, ahem) Never could get buttonholes right to fit a particular button… ugh! And really, how often would I button up a cardigan anyway?!?! Feel you on the “not quite right” project! I’m making the “Oolong Tank” w some gorgeous (new-to-me) fingering wt, so I’m making a swatch, yup, had to! And doing so, I can familiarize myself with the lovely lace bit in front. Using as a camisole, yarn is luscious, soft! (Big Little yarn Co, 70 organic wool & 30 linen). Thank you for inspiring me to adapt & make things for “Happiness” sake, love of knitting!
Lovely to see you again Tina. Your cardi is lovely, the colour suits you so well. I’ve got a Tolsta Tee in a project bag somewhere, I must look it out! I think it’s languishing because I couldn’t get gauge either, so frustrating! Love the blanket. Take care. Xx
Thank you, You too . I'm so sorry to hear you have ongoing pain . My husband has a chronic pain condition which we live working around that . I cannot know what that's like but I hope you have found the best ways to make yourself as comfortable as possible . Take care x
Great to have you back . Can you please do more tutorials on cardigan and jumpers because I can’t figure out how to follow a pattern. I’m a visual learner and you’ve taught me how to make socks thank you x
Me too, I'm really impatient with myself and want to get back to normal. Take care and be kind to yourself . We will both be back to full power soon 🤞😉
Lovely projects Tina😊 love your Tolsta plan too, great colour❤. My first Tolsta has such a big neck it’s unwearable..I dyed it after I knit it and the long soak didn’t help! X
What a shame , I think designers worry it's going to be too small and end up with it too big. Being a summer tee a little bigger is fine but not off the shoulder 80s style 🤭😄 Have a lovely weekend gorgeous x
@@Simplyinstitches I’d definitely give it another go though! I like your idea of long sleeves for dk, but I think also there is a fingering weight one coming out xx
Fab video as always 😊 congratulations on your finishes. Love the red for your Tolsta Tee. Would you say that Drops Nord would be a good yarn to hold with a mohair ?
I honestly couldn't say . I've never knit with mohair. Shhh don't tell anyone I'll be thrown off of TH-cam 🤣 When it was in fashion last time a friend had a mohair sweater . It was so annoying shedding everywhere and getting in my eye . I know it was probably just a bad sweater but it has put me off forever 😁
It's the same as in my sock tutorial but start 1 inch shorter than your foot and decrease every other row until you have 32 stitches then kitchener the end 😁
Lovely video. Well done one your finishes, love your cardigan, and your socks. Look forward to seeing your tee shirt. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and your lovely comment
Thank you for the video. I love you wonderful knitting and crochet they are wonderful.
Thank you so much, Glad you like them. Happy knitting
Yay you're back ! 😊 the red suits you 👍 the cardy fits perfect, wow you did say you wanted a big garden blanket the colours are so cheerful, thank you for sharing take care have a great weekend xx
When I say big , I mean BIG 🤣 It was too much fun to stop crocheting 😁
I love the sweater that you have made. The red one is going to be so pretty. Happy knitting!❤
Thank you for watching 😊
Beautiful Cardigan! Love the socks! Love the cover also. Have a terrific week

Love watching your TH-cam, your so talented. I don't have a knitting community, so love watching podcasts for inspiration while I'm knitting. Thankyou

Good luck with your Tolsta , I'll race you to a finish 😁
Great video! Sorry about your back-I completely understand. I’ve been in chronic pain since 2012. It’s no fun! Keep taking care of yourself 🌻

I will try but tutorials take so much time , I'm not promising anything right now ☺️
Sorry to hear that you've had a bad back. Im suffering at the moment from sciatica. Hope we both get better soon. Take care. Xx

It's 4ply in English money 😄😘
