I love this! Thank you!
Thanks. You are welcome 🙏
Hello! How was your first experience making a pattern? Did you enjoy it? And are you planning on making more?
Hi Edina, making a pattern was/is a great experience and hard work. I learned sooo much. And yes, I am releasing my next pattern hopefully September 8, using the “Lacy cable pattern” idea you gave me from the first test knitting of the tree trunk sweater. 🤩Thanks you so much. 🙏 I really enjoyed the test knitting process and having you on the team helping with the pattern and improvements 😘 I have posted pictures of the new design with a V-neck on Instagram.
@@IngesKnittingLab oh this makes me so happy!
This is a great visual representation of the way the garment is constructed. Thank you so much!
Thank you 🙏 You are welcome.
Grazie 👍
Prego 🙏
Hola 👋 desde Argentina 🇦🇷 me encanta esta técnica 🥰 por favor 🙏 subtítulos en español 😊
Hi there from Argentina 🇦🇷 A woman from Argentine is part of my current test knitting 😍 I also love this design technique. I find that it suits all body types so well 🤩 Also a nice technique that you can turn on subtitles for your own language 👌
@@IngesKnittingLab Muchas gracias 🙏 saludos 😘
I am a big fan of bold colours. My favourite knitted sweater is in fuchsia. And I think that you look gorgeous in red. Its 100% your colour. The green-tea and orange versions also look very interesting - such colours could be well-accompanied by a pair of jeans or white trousers/skirt. Red still remains my favourite.
Fuchsia is also a lovely color 🤩 Thanks for the tips to go along with the Tees 😍 Red is also my favourite along with blue. Maybe the lime green was a bit too bold 🤣 but as you say - for a summer day with a white skirt☀️ I will give it a go 🥰
Thank you so much for the whole series of masterclasses. It's amazing! Im about to start a sweater for my boyfriend and all the information is so useful and so much appreciated. Thank you again!
Thank you 🙏 I have so much fun doing this - making nerdy knitting and videos my full time job 🤩 Happy knitting 🧶
Inge, thank you so much for doing this. I watched it when you posted a while ago and am back again as I hope to make several pairs of these (once all my Tree Trunks are done for the grand children…priorities! 😉). What a gift this is to us!
You are welcome 🙏 I will also make some for Christmas gifts. I consider doing a follow-up video with another modification requested by friends 😊 Happy Knitting with all the Tree Trunk Sweaters 🧶🥰
Thank you so much for the video, i was struggling about how to knit this back part because i'm left handed but now i know how to do this part ❤❤❤
You are very welcome 🙏🌹I never knew of left handed knitting before. I had to look at some tutorials on left handed knitting. I see how these right handed patterns can be quite a challenge to convert. 🥴🤪Wow 🤩you are good 🤩👌
I made a pair of slippers with your modifications and I love them. I will now make another pair but would like to have a higher shaft all the way around my ankle. Do you think it is possible to cast on some additional stitches to get a higher heel cap, without the decreases before splitting? In your video you say it is necessary with heel cap decreases, but why? If I make them higher around the ankle and decrease after splitting, do you think that will work?
Yes, Sandra. Absolutely. If you want the higher heel cap around your ancle you just have to make more decreases AFTER the ankle CO sts. Just as you propose. I only did the decreases before the ankle CO to make room for a High-ankle-foot. But later on I realized that I can just work the hole longer before do the ankle CO. I hope it makes sense.
I like your appearance best in the red and the turquoise. You can wear it! And all colors work beautifully when accompanied by your smile. (But honest: I did not like the burnt orange to You.... Your inner glow disappeared) And great that I could inspire you - and not just the other way around.
Thanks, Ina 🙏 Me too, I like the red and the cyber lime the best. You have inspired me a lot, Ina - and still do 🤩 It was a pleasure working with you during the test knit - I learned so much 🤩😘
@@IngesKnittingLab Thanks dear Inge. I am grateful for all the help and the talks of knitting and measurements and so on :)
Love all the colours, more colour looks so good on you, especially with the glasses. What fun. Red, is good...
Thanks, Jenny 🙏 I also love the gorgeous color you have chosen for your test knit 🤩
I think the bright colors suit you even better than the tan color. Your face just lights up (especially the green, with the black rim glasses, and red, with the red glasses). Thank you for taking the time to share with us your space. So well organized! I live where the climate is very dry, but what a great idea to save the silica packs! I will save them now for my daughter who lives where the climate is more moist. You are so fun to share with us glimpses into your personal life. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Linda 😘 I think I will be more bold with colors in the future. I have just made a cast-on with the Abricot Crush color 🤩 Yes, these packs are nice. I totally forgot to show you my “weapon” against moths. I try to remember in the next episode. However, here at my location in DK I have never experienced moths in my yarn or knitted garments.
YES on the lime green and the red! Not sure on the coral on my browser. The pearls look great with the tan I think! Not too much for a night out perhaps? I am so shocked at how much difference the change of glasses has for the look with the tops!! I have never considered the style and colors of glasses with my tops before. Thank you for all this info!
Thanks, Valerie 🙏 I agree, the coral Tee is not my color. I will soon wear the other two with happiness 🤩 Yes, I am also amazed by the effect of accessories. They make a world of difference. ✨
Lovely knitting lab. I can't wait for the new pattern to be released! I wear whatever colors make me happy and disregard complexion
Thank you so much, Jennifer.🙏 I am so lucky having such a helpful husband helping me make my office functional for me 🥰
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I was so confused with this pattern and watching your video really helped me.
Thanks. You are welcome 🙏 I was so confused by the pattern, too 🤪
Congrats on a beautiful work with such attention to details, really makes a world of difference! I have started design sweaters just for fun and would love to learn more about european shoulders. Are there any learning materials you would recommend?
Thanks 🙏🌹 I only have knowledge of one book which is on my shelf - Cocoknits Sweater Workshop by Julie Weisenberger. There are more designs in the book with different yarn weights, but “only” in stockinette stitches. I found that very helpful. If you would like to find inspiration in my design, I have made more tutorials on how to make a sweater using the European Shoulder design - The tree trunk sweater. Soon also a design in lacy cables. And have fun becoming a designer - it is great fun 🤩🤩🤩
Another brilliant video! I get smarter watching your videos! 😜 Thank You!!
Thanks 🙏 My pleasure. I get wiser making them 🤩
Terrific videos and valuable learning! Thank you!! This is a lot of work and I’m benefitting.❤
Thanks 🙏🌹My pleasure. Yes, it is a lot of work, but it is so fun and I learn so much making the videos 🤩😍
Very easy and neat transition ! ❤❤❤
Thanks 🙏
Enjoy hearing hints based on experience , thanks for sharing
Thanks 🙏 You are welcome - my pleasure 😊
loose and sloppy = "droopy" in American colloquial speech; I might go down a needle size to minimize spread of the Sandnes Garn Line. How did you add structure to the linen blend swatch? You added a purl? Mohair/silk: (Shibui ) now called Madelinetosh silk cloud is soft and does not shed fibers.
Thanks, Dee. I am keen in leaning American colloquial speech 👍 Yes, I think it is a good idea to go down a needle size with Line or go down a Tee size. Yes I added a purl. It was a swatch meant to be copy a tree trunk tee. I will get some Madelinetosh silk mohair. I find it very nice that is does not shed. I have thought about people feeling the itchiness of mohair. Maybe a silk & alpaca blend will do nicely as an alternative?
open cables are great for summery look and a V neck makes a great, sporty look. what a delightful look at designing patterns. I have to say that mohair/silk does not say summer to me.
Thanks Dee 🙏😘 One of my other test knitters Eva showed my yet another way of doing the cables - still 3+1 - with less/no “see through”. I may include that in the pattern if possible without too many changes, if others prefer a cable without “holes”. I hear you with combining mohair and summer. I consider offering long sleeves to fit a winter season. However, in Denmark it is very cold and windy now even though it is summer 🤣
I found it.
Great you found the place in the video comparing swatches using different brands. I can add the timestamp in the description box for others to see as well - and see that Sandnes Line behaves differently than the other brands with similar bases/fiber content.
Hola!, gracias por tu explicación 🙌🏼💖💖✨ puedes decirme cuál es la lana que usas para el tejido café que nos muestras en este ejemplo?, saludos!
Hola! Si seguro. ¿Te refieres al yugo sin terminar que llevo? Utilizo lana Viking Eco Highland hecha en Perú. El número de color es 208 Marrón. Es un hilo no superlavado ni teñido, toda lana natural. Y es muy suave. ♥️
@@IngesKnittingLab😜 si ese mismo!, 🤗 muchas gracias por tu respuesta! , me encantó rtu video ✨🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💖
Gracias Claudia. 🙏😊 El patrón femenino ahora está publicado en Ravelry. Logré hacer el patrón femenino Tree Trunk Sweater con una manga en forma de campana trabajada de arriba hacia abajo usando la construcción europea de hombros.
Thank you for these clear and detailed tutorials! They are so helpful
You are welcome 🙏 my pleasure 🤩
Inge ❤ love love love your channel
Thank you very much 🙏 Such feed-back is very motivational and keeps me going on with new content 😍🤩
Love your videos. They are so helpful!
Thank you very much. 🙏 Your feed-back is very motivational and keeps me going on practicing the instructor role in tutorials 😍🤩
I love the way you describe this pattern. Very clear. I wonder I you could make a video for v neck pullover too
Thank you very much 🙏🌹 I am really practicing to improve my instruction skills. Yes, when my newest design “Summer Lacy Cable Tee” with V-neck is published I will issue tutorials. It is a bit more tricky.
@@IngesKnittingLab thank you. Im already excited
I have got my wool so off I go. Thanks for the video. ❤
You are welcome 🙏🌹 Oh, it is the best getting new lovely yarn for a new project. Happy knitting and felting 🧶
I have to try this technique. has to be wool and plied yarn bur that is mostly what I use anyway. thanks!
I have been struggling a bit to find an invisible and durable technique for plant fiber yarns, so I tried out this one. And yeah it works. So I am using that method, too in my newest design with summer plant fiber yarns.🤩
watching slightly ahead of my progress. very helpful.
Great Dee, I will try to keep up with you and be one video ahead 🤣😊
what about cable cast on for the neck?
A cable cast on will also be fine 👍
Thank you
You are welcome 🙏🌹
Thank you for sharing, I'm going to try this method.
You are welcome, Nelly. 🌹🙏Let me know what you think when you have tried it.
I love this method. Thank you! ❤
You are welcome 🤗🌹 I find that the method also works very well for summer plant fiber yarns.☀️
It is so interesting to understand the details of your design process ! I love love love the v-neck version of your Summer Tee. I have not knit with them yet but Rowan Kid Silk Haze is softer to the touch then the Drops.
Thank you so much 🙏🌹 The pattern will come out with the V-neck added sequins. You can see the final prototype on my instagram - an orange version. Thanks for your tip on Kid Silk. After my testing I will not recommend Drops. It is too prickly, which is not good for a summer tee worn close to skin. I try to find options for “all wallet sizes” which are soft and non-prickly. So listing all soft versions is definitely great. And your help adding to the list very valuable. Thanks 😘
@@IngesKnittingLab I forgot to mention the Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair that I am presently using combined with Double Sunday. I find it is similar to the Drops when I do a blind test. "The Knit Purl Girl" has a RUclips Episode where she talk about her own experience with many different mohair.
Thank you soooo much😘. This is very helpful. I would have thought Sandnes was less prickly. I will watch this review - very exciting 🤩
Inge! This is great! I already love this jumper but I’m finishing off a project before I start. I’m hoping for the cardigan to come soon 🤞🏼excellent short. Yay.⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much, Christine. 🙏🌹What a good idea with a cardigan, too. I willl start thinking about the design change 🤩
Excellent podcast from start to finish.
Thank you very much, Shawlee 🙏🌹 It was so fun making it 🤩☀️
Your patterns are beautiful. For me, the softest silk mohair is Isager, the lace by Langyarns.
Thanks for your valuable input, Nathalie🙏🌹 I will definitely try out those.
Hi Inge! I really liked your yarn 🧶 evaluation for summer yarns!! I’m anxious for your pattern to be published!! 😊
Thanks Linda 🙏🌹 my pleasure. Hopefully, the pattern will be published within a couple of months. I aim for September.
excelllent explanation. I'm inspired. I'll be starting one of these soon.
Thanks, John 🙏🌹 I am so happy to connect with you and other male knitters. You inspire me so much back. I was so fortunate to have a male knitter on the test team 🤩 Happy knitting 🧶
felting rather happens from changes of temperature (hot to cold and cold to hot) as well as from friction, that is why it is good to put it together with some other at least one peace of garment.
Yes, thanks. 🙏 🌹 I fully agree. As a newbie felter back then I tried to explain the physics at 34:18 🧶
Wow! What a lot of prototypes! Love all your samples. Also thanks for the tip about prym needles. I thought of using bamboo needles, but pryms sound ideal. Have to check that out for my plant fibers.
Thank you 🙏🌹You are welcome. Hobbii had the Prym needles on sale so I bought some more 🤩 Nice to have more when you have 3 to 5 prototypes/projects ongoing at the same time 🤣
Very interesting to hear all the details, especially with the yarn testing (I agree that the multicoloured yarn hides your pretty stitch pattern). around 35m20s you ask for help with the English, but I think the words loose and sloppy both work well. We might also say "baggy" for items that are over-sized or sagging, but your English is excellent. Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you very much, Cat. 🙏🌹Your feed-back is highly appreciated. ☀️
This is so interesting, I love your attention to detail!
By the way, every time you mentioned not knowing the English word, I think you did a great job explaining it. A lot of those don't have specific terms that I know of. For the mohair fluff we might say 'shedding' like a pet 😅
Thank you very much, Shelly. 🙏🌹 Yes, I guess shedding was the word I was searching for. Being a non-native language podcaster is very educational. So I am not “just” trying to improve my knitting skills also my English language skills 🤭
The pattern is lovely. Such an interesting overview of your design process.
Thank you, Janet 🙏🌹My pleasure 😊
❤
Wow, I love how thorough you are. I look forward to the release of this pattern!
Thanks 🙏🌹 I am progressing. The smaller sizes are easier to figure out than I anticipated. ☀️
What a lot of work, I love the way your mind tackles the design issues. I love the 3T summer design, just lovely. I used drops kid silk in one garment and was very disappointed, it is so prickly against the skin. I don't use a lot of mohair, living in Australia it is not cold enough where I am. Thank you for the detailed episode.
Hi Jenny, Yes, it is a lot of work but I love every minute of it. 😍🤩 And I find it important and necessary to get a good quality design/product for my customers/fellow knitters. And the process of “cracking design nuts” is also great fun - I highly enjoy the mental challenge and training my ability to visualise a 3D-final design. Thanks for your feedback on the Summer 3T and your valuable input on the Drops Kid silk. Yes, prickly is the word. I feel it, too. Australia is such a lovely country. I have been there once. And my first choice would not be mohair garments, either. 🤣It was 45 degrees centigrade in Queensland - very hot.☀️ All the best/Inge
There is no such thing as getting too nerdy when it comes to knitting and yarn for me!! Loved this episode. The summer 3T is beautiful! I will certainly knit it when it comes out. My favorite mohairs are Lang Lace, isager kid silk and filcolana tilia. I find drops kid silk too prickly for me. I just found Holst Lucia (alpaca, silk and yak) which may be the softest fluffy lace weight I've seen! Though I can't speak to how well it holds up yet. The isager holds up beautifully with no pilling or shedding in my experience.
Hello Victoria - fellow knitting nerd 🤓🤣 Thanks for your feedback on the Tee 🙏🤩 There seems to be consensus of the pricklyness of Drops Kidsilk. Thanks for your valuable input on Brands.🙏 I will definitely try out Isager, Lang and Filcolana. Regarding the Holst version. I am sure it is lovely. However, I will leave out alpaca in this Tee. In my experience, when adding alpaca the fabric/gauge behaves differently, and this would add yet another complexity factor 🤣
