I have to be a process knitter because everything takes me so dang long 🥲
Mandy this video was SO good! I love how you explained everything and your inspiration is great. Plus, I always have a soft spot for a fellow Swiftie. Happy knitting!
Love all your plans! My Louvre sweater is palette held double, and there has been some pulling, but not notably more or less than most other sweaters. Tbh my KfO merino and soft silk mohair has pilled more for less wear.
I did a Norwegian style yoked jumper last year and I love it. It's a medium green on the body and I used black, grey, and white on the yoke and cuffs which worked really well to avoid being super colourful.
Also Wool Needles Hands is doing the stripe hype sweater if you want some more info on how it's knitting up and what construction is like 😊
I have two projects on my needles. I jump back and forth between them because one is size 4 (alpine bloom) and the other size 8 (Rift). I have a cardigan on my short list to knit. Kallias by Isabell Kramer. I purchased a large quantity of Woolstok to knit an Ihya sweater. I am having second thoughts. I live in coastal NC where our winters are mostly mild and my wooly knits don’t get much love. Reassigning that yarn to a cardigan worn like a jacket may be a better choice.
I'm not sure what your yarn stash is like, but when I made my Stripe Hype, I laid all my single skeins of dk and fingering out together, and picked the colors which I thought resonated best together. Might be worth a shot, to see if any color combos inspire you :) It was a fun knit
I've made a few sweaters with Knitpicks palette (I bought a bunch of it when I first started knitting because it''s inexpensive). I enjoyed working with it - I think it's pleasantly wooly without being too scratchy, but I really don't like how my sweaters have held up. I find that palette pills after only a couple of wears, but because it's still a sticky yarn it's really hard pick the pills off, unlike a soft merino that might pill significantly. So I find that these sweaters just don't look very nice and I tend not to reach for them much. My gauge on these sweaters is around 26 st/4 in on these sweaters (held single), so not a super loose gauge either where you might expect the fabric to be less sturdy. Hope this was helpful.
Also, the Paul Klee sweater is knit at a loose gauge for fingering weight yarn (22 st/4 in), so the yardage is actually not very high for a fingering weight sweater. The pattern says it also works with a thicker yarn at the same gauge, so you might want to give it a try!
Great to know about both palette and the paul klee sweater, thank you!
Love your pattern picks! I really want to knit the Lumme and have that classic colorwork too. I’m currently knitting the pressed flowers cardigan and I definitely recommend it!
Your plans always inspire my knit wish list!! I'm planning on starting a Harlow v neck soon and maybe even the heirloom cardigan
Even if Sassy doesn't want it, the people want you to knit her a sweater
I feel you on needing/wanting to knit more difficult or engaging knits. My list consists of the storm sweater and the Artisane Cardigan by Sandnes garn!!! It’s going to take me ages but it’s going to be a staple forever.
Of course I have a million others I want to knit, I love your dedication to making and understanding what you make and how it fits into your wardrobe. I strive to be a percentage of this. Can’t wait for your next vid❤
Oh, these graphic cables are EVERYTHING! Definitely going on my list!
I've been eyeing the Lumme for a while as well! There are so many beautiful and inspiring versions on Ravelry 😍
I've used Palette and Cascade 220 and they're pretty similar. If anything, Palette is a tad softer and maybe a little more even. It feels slightly rounder/thicker than cascade 220. I haven't finished anything in it, so I can't say how it holds up but I do really like it.
I want to make the mamba sweater without mohair too. Kinda struggling with the yarn substitution because the isager yarn seems so specialized hoping to see what some other people do
Very nice projects coming up! ❤ I have similar goals, texture, colourwork… I am obsessed with the slaty days sweater and I think that will be my next one 🤗🤗
that one looks lovely!
I am currently knitting the Lumme pullover, I am using bright red for the main color and white for the contrast. It’s super easy to follow and knits up super fast!
that sounds sTUNNING
I was thinking about knitting the Folklore sweater by Lions brand but now you got me debating whether I should knit the one by Amy!
I will say after knitting it the pattern by Amy is bare bones, but you do have more sizing options!
@@knitsbymandy Good to know!
Love your Fall plans! I seem to be in my cardigan era: currently knitting the scallop jacket by strikkekaffe. I want to make at least one other cardigan, probably the travelers jacket. And then the Agnete has been on my mind for a while now….
Sweater season has been here all year long in the north west of England 😂
I'm also thinking of making the Lumme sweater! I feel like it's basically a cult classic at this point lol.
I like the Mamba Sweater too. 🧶
Personally I love pallete and am about to buy more. But can’t speak to wear bc, I made sweaters using it at the end of last spring so they didn’t get much wear. I did a loose gauge (vanilla sweater from the wooly thistle) and the same sweater I made up in a tight gauge by knitting a different size, now making my second Ranunculus using it. The heathers are pretty. It’s 2 ply, price is right plus no winding. BTW I’ve heard people say EE-say-ER for Isager.
❤❤❤
I knit the pressed flower cardigan this summer. I love it. I would suggest the cardigan because I found the pattern easier to knit flat than in the round (sleeves). The pullover would be all in the round. I think it’s a heavier weight too. I used Wool of the Andes and Noro so it was much cheaper than the spin cycle versions.
Thanks for the tips!
I prefer non-super wash for cabled sweaters. In my opinion the cables block open and maintain that open structure better with a Woolley wool than with a super wash where the treatment is designed for the wool to slid around more.
Yes, definitely seemed way to slippery for a cabled sweater!
I just finished an Urban Adventure by Sari in Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok - haven’t worn it yet but I loved working with the yarn and the colors and price are great!
Woolstok kept coming up in my searches, I'll have to try it one day!
What sweater are you wearing? And would you mind sharing what size you knit for it and the Ingrid sweater?
The Harlow sweater by caidree! And I believe I made the small!
Best advice I’ve gotten is to crochet pieces together for seamed pieces. It’s waaaay less annoying and I find it much cleaner!
I think I may try this, I've done mattress stitch in the past.
