March Knitting Vlog - Unproductive knits and new designs
In my opinion, you're one of few people that wear black so well. The deep saturated color in some of your new makes just make the overall look very striking, give me a little bit of a girl with a pearl earring style. I can imagine with your fair skin and pink undertone, you'd be able to wear most colors, but neutral/muted colors may not be as flattering as deep saturated colors. ❤
I knitted a tonight top this summer and I absolutely love it. I just cast on one in black and now looking at yours I think I need one in Grey as well😅 Your Tonight top and your Lulu slipover is both stunning😍 Thank you for another inspiring podcast 🥰
It’s sooo good! Black sounds perfect 👌 It would work in almost any colour and is so comfortable. Thank you for watching!
I love that knitting journal you are using. Can I please ask where you got it from. Xxx I love your podcasts xxxx
Hi! It’s from Flying Tiger - very handy for organising projects. Thank you for watching! 🧶🥰
I finished my first Tonight Top last week and now your video is tempting me to cast on another! Agree that it's a fantastic pattern, and yours looks so chic on you.
I love it so much - I’m definitely going to make another. ❤️🧶
Lulu slipover is on my list! But I still did not find what to wear it with. Beautiful podcast!
I really enjoyed it and the attention to detail makes it really special. ❤️ The chunky version is also nice. 👌
What pattern did you use for the Christmas jumper. Your work is amazing
Hi! It’s the Tuku by The Petite Knitter 🧶 It has bust darts and lots of details to get a great fit. A really good pattern!
Your knits are amazing. I really like the lulu top you have knitted what I am confused about is you said you knitted it in friends wool and kid silk but when I have looked it is an Aran weight and the pattern asks for DK. I am old knitter but I get very confused when altering these lovely yarns.
Thank you so much for watching! 🧶 I made the normal version but went with a thicker yarn to get a tighter gauge. I found. That it worked well and I didn’t need to change needle size but I prefer a warmer fabric.
Loved your Tonight Top. Keep us posted how the yarn behaves. Can you suggest any yarn shops in Milan? I’m going there for a few days in early September.
The yarn is great so far 👍 but I will do an update after I’ve washed and worn it a few times. My favourite yarn shop in Milan is called Lanar (it’s near Porta Venezia and very central if you’re visiting). It’s beautiful and very modern. I hope you have a great trip!
@@OrsaMakes Thanks a million. Looking forward to it.
🍀 Thanks for sharing 🥰
Thanks for watching!
Im a new knitter, started few months ago and I invested in chiaogoo’s interchangeable needle sets. I’ve started picking up stitches by switching the needle for a Tunisian crochet hook onto my cable and it has been seriously life changing as to how much easier and tighter by picked up stitches are..
I’m a new knitter too like you and find this too fascinating. Did you find a tutorial or is it something you came up with on your own? I’m assuming you pick them up with the Tunisian hook then knit them off that??
Oh this sounds so handy - I will have to look into it! I'm a terrible crocheter though but maybe if I think about it like knitting I'll be able to do it.
Hi Issy , love your tops, I really like slip overs, keep you warm but not overheated! I have made a few now. We had a blast of warmth but has become just warm now so should suit you well, I am in the south/west, it has been a funny ole summer 😅 Would love to. See any photo’s of you at the wedding, I hope the weather is kind to you. Excuse me I hope you don’t find me rude, have you become engaged, I noticed a ring☺️ look forward to seeing you again soon, Suze. 😊
Hi! I'm so excited about experiencing some English weather. I've noticed a mini heatwave is predicted for when we arrive but I hope it will pass. I could go for some cloud and rain at this point - it's 35 here today and I'm roasting. I will try to get some footage of my dress for the wedding. It's nice to have an excuse to get dressed up. Hahaha about the ring. It's not rude at all! It's a gift from my boyfriend's mother but not an engagement ring. I forgot I put it on that finger - but maybe one day soon! Lovely to hear from you :) I hope you're enjoying the summer.
I am curious about Hobbi yarns. I am interested in trying some. Lovely knits. 🧶
Thank you :) I've been loving the Hobbii range - such a good selection of colours.
@@OrsaMakes Great! I am looking for affordable yarn for two jumpers I am will knit this year. Have a lovely holiday.
Completely agree with you regarding picking up stitches! I used to dread it. I have done it so much last few projects that i dont even flinch now and it's beginning to actually look seamless! Yay! Like with all techniques, I think we just have to *do the thing* to get better! Your Tonight top looks perfect!
It's so intimidating - I have always been just a tiny bit worried about it for years. But what a relief to finally have mastered it! Thank you for watching :)
My mum always used to say ‘practice makes perfect’ and she was right 😂❤🧶
I have already knitted 2 tonight tops - one in black and one in white. And I have yarn to knit one in grey, so I totally get you
Oh my goodness - this is going to be me very soon. Black and white sound perfect and like they would go with everything. Super chic!
Beautiful knits 🥰 I love the grey tonight top and the lanta bag!
Thank you! 😊Really looking forward to getting lots of wear out of them.
Hello from another fellow knitter and RUclips Podcaster 😊 so glad I found your podcast. Love your style and the pieces you have knitted. Chocolate browns are one of my favorite colors. I actually own this Hobbii Wool color and it’s incredible. I love mock necks and both of your pieces are gorgeous. I want to make that slipover because I totally agree on what you said about the fit and the ease to wear. I love the top from Lily Kate but I tend to lose steam whenever I pick a project on 3mm needles 😩 I love Milan and yes everyone dresses so chic and I love the fashion energy there. Also 😂I totally agree with living for English summers. They are truly wonderful. I love being in London in summers. I’m not big on hot summers either. Thanks for sharing! Happy Knitting and enjoy your holiday in England. Oh also I subscribed 😊
Hi! So nice to meet you :) Chocolate brown is such a rich and cosy colour that always makes me happy. I hope you love whatever you make with your yarn. I know what you mean about 3mm needles but I've been really obsessed with the finish they give me recently. I'm flying out on Monday and truly can not wait! Give me cloud over 35 degree heat any day. Happy knitting and have a great summer!
I made Sabai top with Drops Belle, love it and want to make another one without the rib edge 😊 I didn't like the Rota top at first look but I think you changed my mind. And have just added Vest Claire to my wishlist thank you x
Oh so nice to hear that you loved the Sabai top - it's high on my list. Thank you for watching :)
Wow! Absolutely love all of your sweaters and designs! Will there ever be a tutorial for sweater makings?😍
Thank you so much! I will definitely think about doing some tutorials in the future. Happy knitting :)
Kim Hargreaves, Julie Hoover and Deborah Doherty might interest you. Most of their designs lean more in RTW classics.
These are great suggestions - I am having a look at their lovely patterns now. Thank you!
Love the Musling and to knit in DMC Natura linen from my stash. Love all of them but limited time.
The Musling is so pretty! I'm the same with time - I would knit them all if I could :)
I'm always so drawn to your Whittmore-Cardigan, it may be because blue is my favourite color but i think it is also the design and the buttons just the overall look is so amazing ❤
It really is a stunning pattern and well-worth the effort. :)
This sweater collection Isy is just 😍🤌🏻🔥 so classy. Good job!🥰
Thank you lovely! :) :)
Your work is so beautifully done and I would say you have nailed the “classic” bit of your style. As you were going through picking words to describe your style I thought of what my words would be. I think I would choose classic, casual and confident.
I love your words - I can really picture your style! I like the three word system and am thinking about trying out more style "hacks". Thanks for watching!
lovely video, you have a very beautiful collection of the hand-knits! got also really interested in trying out the app you used :)
Thank you so much :) The app is so handy and it was nice to see all my knits in one place. I thought there would be even more but I suppose it is *a lot* of stitches!
Hi Isy. Is there a pattern for your Victoria scarf on ravelry? Thanks so much.
Hi! You can find it at: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/victoria-scarf-3 I just realised I don't have a project for it up - I will have to change that. Thank you :)
Thank you. Can't wait to make it. I like your closet ... all coordinated in navy, camel and grays.
I love the journal you have 😊 where can I find it or something similar?
It's such a handy little journal. I got mine from Flying Tiger but have been on the look out for an alternative. I will be sure to share if I find one!
I am happy to hear that you use Drops Lima. I am looking at that yarn for two projects. Your color work is beautiful. Great episode.
Drops Lima is so good! It's one of my favourites from Drops and so well-priced considering the quality. I also don't find it too itchy which means I can use it for high necks too. Thanks for watching :) I hope your project in Lima goes great!
i love your laconic but so expressive style ❤️🔥 My skin is too sensitive to malabrigo yarn for some reason 😬 Thank you for the app ✨️
Thank you so much! This made me chuckle. The app is awesome - it's already helped me with a few looks and will be perfect for layering more complex outfits in autumn.
First, 😅
Lighting speed!
Merci pour ces très beaux modèles ! Je vais vite voir ce que je peux faire avec mon stash😊
Thank you for watching :)

I personally find that, in addition to the vibrancy, the temperature of the color also matters. For instance, i have noticed if a color is warm, it can't be very bright (neon) or very dusty, whereas I can pull off dustier and very vibrant cooler shades. It kind of is annoying because pink, reds, and peaches are my favorite types of colors! But I have always loved blues, so I don't feel restricted. None of this stops me from buying pastel yarn, of course 😅
Yes! I completely agree - the vibrancy seems to be crucial. I find I'm exactly the same with vibrant cool colours and dusty blues. Ultimately, it shouldn't stop you trying any colour that speaks to you though. I'm trying to streamline things at the moment to stop my chronic indecisiveness! :)
I’m not generally a blog fan but I enjoyed this less highly processed episode!
Thank you for watching! It was fun to make and I’m hoping to do a mix so I can still share moments of progress between the big, more edited videos. 🧶❤️
Thank you for today! Love the Blouse No 2! As I don’t wear many revealing pieces ( unless with a cotton crew neck tee )…. For me--The long sleeve options I really admire. Love the options within as there is always something for everyone!😊
I’m so happy you enjoyed it - I really wanted to include an option for everyone ❤️🧶
Skall Studio have excellent knitting patterns; knitted Oda sweater already and plan Magda this winter. Wish they release more..
Yes! I adore their designs. I have the Oda pattern and am waiting for the autumn to cast it on. It’s nice to hear that you had a good experience with it. I also love their ready to wear pieces - so much inspiration!
Love your style choices, these sweaters look amazing on you. More to add to my ‘to do‘list 😂❤🧶x
Thank you so much! They are lovely designs and both very pleasant relaxing knits 🧶 ❤️
Some beautiful patterns there. Looking forward to seeing what you make. :)
I'm so excited to get started. Thanks for watching :)
Magnifique choix !! Merci infiniment pour votre travail de recherche
Thank you for watching :)
So exciting! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Happy knitting :)
❤️🌈
Just to let you know, Sandes Garn Line is pronounced as Li-neh. Thanks for the recommendations!
Thank you for the advice with pronunciation! I do tend to struggle with the Sandnes Garn names :) Happy knitting
Sabai top 👌. Suze🤗
Great round up! I added a few to my ravelry favorites. I just finished the Rota top last week. I may try the Barboe tank or the Hathor tee
Wonderful! The Rota Top looks so lovely - I'm currently trying to decide between that and the Barbroe for my next project. :)
Gorgeous choices ❤ thank you for the inspiration 🙏
Glad you like them!
Im in love with the best claire. Thank you for sharing your pattern selection for the season
You’re so welcome 😊It looks like a great little pattern and the perfect alternative to buying one in the shops.
Lovely selection!
As usually, it was perfect! I have a lot of these patterns but didn't knit them : you motivate me! Thank you!
Great minds think alike! I hope you enjoy knitting some of them up. I'm really looking forward to starting :)
🍀
