I really like the sweater you are wearing, it’s very flattering on you.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Hi, Did you use the supersoft single or double strand. The jumper is beautiful and inspired me. Thank you
Hello. Sorry for the delayed reply! I held it single. I must confess, though, that I am finding that lots of my holst supersoft jumpers that I have knit on 3.5mm needles holding the yarn single, the elbows are wearing out :/
I was there in October. Lovely shop.❤️🇨🇦
Aww so pleased! What did you get? X
@ I got 2 skeins of Skadi wool in a beautiful blue to knit a vest.
Lovely podcast!
So pleased Lena!
So wonderful to spend some knitting time with you this morning ❤️ Wonderful knits! I love your Amy slipover version. The color is amazing! Have a great weekend, Lauren 🧶
Thank you so much Anne. You too! Yes, that slipover might be one of my new favourite knits
So glad to see you back! I love your slipover, the colour combination is fantastic.
Aww thanks Emily xxx
Had to take a long break from knitting due to carpal tunnel. So bummed. Unsubscribed to almost all knitting channels except yours. I enjoy how down to earth and creative you are. ❤
I'm so sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel. I hope it is on the mend? Have you found anything that keeps your creative buzz? So pleased my podcast is a comfortable space for you 🧡 xx
Thank you very much for video, some new location for my next trip to Japan 💙
Sorry I don’t usually post negative comments but I just can’t hear you enough even with the sound on the highest setting, I’ve also check some previous episodes…. Same . Please consider a microphone
Hello. I am sorry to hear this. In later episodes I purchased a camera which made it better, I believe x
Those red/orange and pink colours will look divine next to the blue - very excited to see what you produce with them!
@sinkboat1270 thank you so much! I'm casting on this evening ✨ post work treat. What is on your needles at the moment?
Welcome back! The sweater you're wearing is so stunning. Congrats on adding to your little fur family!
Aww thank you Ceara! How is your house coming along? All settled in? X
Lovely to see you again ❤
Thank you Jacqui! 😊 Hope you are well?
Wonderful to see you here on your channel again, Lauren 🥰 As always so nice to sit and knit with you. Love your co-hosts 🐈⬛Adorable 😍
@mynorthknitcorner Aww thank you Anne! So nice to be back! Not sure they will always be so well behaved!
Thanks for the info!
Any time!
Aloe is supposed to be good for the skin/soft yarn.
Yes I use it all the time on skin, Aloe gel. Great anti-inflammatory 💚🩷
Hope all your projects go according to plan so you can have a nice vacation.
Aww thank you so much! X
Could you repeat how you bind off your 2/2 ribbing please. Thank you for a very enjoyable podcast. 😀😀😀
Hello! Sorry for the very delayed reply. I will rewatch this video (as I honestly don't remember!) and try and re-explain x
I love how your Terracotta vest turned out! Thanks for keeping me company while I get a few rows done on a vanilla sock
Aww thank you Ceara! I do love a vanilla sock!
I love your videos. As a new knitter, I’m so inspired by them!😊
Oh thank you so much, I'm so pleased! If you have any questions then please feel free to drop me a message on insta and I will help as much as I can!
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
Aww that's so sweet, I'm so pleased my content brings you that feeling - that is all I can aim for! X
I enjoyed your podcast. Look forward to the next one.
Aww thank you so much!
Do you the addresses in London please could you say it. Thank you
It is in Richmond-on-Thames in London :)
Good to see you, Lauren. What a fun crochet project. Eager to see the progress on that boxy t-shirt. Congratulations to your husband! Have good week!
Hello Anne! Thank you so much! We had a great weekend! I am lining up a podcast catch-up marathon so I will looking forward to watching all your recent episodes! X
You have a home RUclips channel? Would you share the name please? Home renovations are quite literally a pain. Our whole house needs renovating but we can only do one thing at a time.
Hello! Yes I do - it's called HomebyLJRH xx
Thanks for the video, I will be planning a visit to the beautiful knitters’ shop, God willing soon😊
Would you consider dyeing sock sets in the future? I'm positively drooling over a Damson Gin and Plum Rose sock possibility
Hi Ceara! Ooh would those sets be 2x50g of one colour and then a mini, or 3x 50g? I will add it to my list of future plans x
@@work.knits. I think two 50g and a mini! Can’t wait to see what you come up with :)
Oooh, your socks turned out so cute! Maybe I need to add some i-cord to my next pair...
Yeah I really like them! I also knit the icord from the wrong side of the sock and that made the front of the icord look more polished I think 🤔
Wonderful to spend some time with you again, Lauren. Really enjoy this weekly update. Thank you. I have been sewing in ends on my Summer's evening sweater while watching:) Hope you have a great weekend!!
Eeek that's so exciting! I need to do some more podcast catch ups - I'm sorry I keep getting so behind x
Question regarding your sizing up to the 6th size to get the small size due to gauge. How do you figure out how much yarn you'll use? Same as the sixth size?
It's a really good question! In theory it should be similar to the amount used for the 6th, but then I am using DK weight yarn which will have more meters per 50g so that will counter act it slightly
Thank you for another great episode, Lauren. What beautiful hand-dyed yarn you have created! You are just a multi- creative person. So inspiring!
Aww thank you Anne ❤️❤️❤️ as are you x
Sorry, I meant to ask, are you using natural dyes for your yarn, or something else? I’m just so impressed with the beautiful range of colours you have 💕
Hi Anne Oh thank you so much, honestly that means the world - I was so upset after technical difficulties yesterday and you made my day! These are acid dyed but I reuse water and blend my dyes to get these colours :)
Hi Lauren, I’m watching this episode in absolute awe of how much you manage to do!! House Reno, knitting, designing, and now yarn dying 😅 Yikes! 😂 Your yarn is so gorgeous too. I just placed an order as I couldn’t resist those colours! Best of luck with this latest new venture of yours, much love xx
Please show the in store experience next time before talking on a chair ❤
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, I really appreciate it xx
Thank you for another great podcast. I’m currently working on the Andrea Mowry Pink Velvet sweater pattern. I’m using Qing Fibre melted suri in porcelain and Camijoknits Mesiya base single ply in scallop shell. It’s a really lovely combination and I’m loving it ❤️
That sounds absolutely gorgeous! I'm sorely tempted! Have a lovely rest of your weekend!
I found your podcast today! So I’m starting from #1! Enjoying your projects!
Oh that's amazing, thank you so much. I hope you enjoy the series! I have a new one launching tomorrow x
I love love love the colour of your sweater on you! What an interesting construction of your new design :) I'm feeling a lot of energy for knitting socks at the moment and so I've already started on some christmas presents 🤣
Hello! How have you been?! Thank you ❤️ Oh you just have to go with it don't you!
I use toilet rolls as bobbins as well haha. They go right on some dowels that I just lay in the handles of a bin when I ply. It's so silly but it works so well! I love your attitude of no pressure, but still plug away. I think I'll try that this week!
Hi Liz So pleased it's not just me! Ooh I haven't tried the trick with the bin lid - I will upgrade my process 😉 So pleased that inspired you - go for it! Honestly I have had a much greater sense of achievement from doing it this way x
Your Gallant sweater looks so good. The color is just perfect for you! So excited to see more of your summertop design as it progress. Thank you for the sweet, kind words about me and my podcast. Warms my heart! And thank you for another great knitting update! Looking forward to the next allready!
Hello! Oh thank you 🙏 Not at all, the least I could do !
Thanks for keeping me company while I work through the home stretch of your Time to Decompress Socks!
Always a pleasure Ceara! I hope you are having a good week!
@@work.knits. my husband and I have *finally* purchased a home, so it’s been lots of packing and paperwork for me this week!
Oh my goodness that is so exciting, congratulations!!
Wonderful to see you and everything that you are working on as always🥰
How are you doing Anne? So nice to hear from you xx
@@work.knits. I am good, but very tired after a long day. It's Norways national day today. So it's been parades, lots of walking and too much cake and icecream. Only waiting to see the fireworks from our porch and it's nightime for me😅 I hope you are well and are having a wonderful weekend!
I saw! Happy national day! That sounds like a exhilarating but knackering day! I am having a good weekend, thank you x
I like having you here more often and you're right... it's hard to watch an hour long podcast when all I want to do is get out in my gardens while the sun is shining!
This is really helpful feedback, thank you x
Wonderful to see you again, Lauren. So sorry you are struggeling with a cold once again. Hope you feel better soon! I really love your short sleeve version of your summer evening sweater. And your new sock design looks amazing! I have just come home from a trip to Bulgaria. So it was perfect to just "breath" a little after travelling and knit together with you! I hope you get a beautiful May! Hugs from Norway :)
Hi Anne! Thank you! Oh how was your trip? That sounds amazing! Hugs from England ❤️
Good to know about the cash, thank you!
You are very welcome
Just found great yarns at good prices in Tokyo at Okadaya Shinjuku, which is centrally located. They had a wonderful selection, including several Japanese made yarns. There’s currently also a pop-up with a Japanese lace weight cashmere on cones. Also a good selection of European brands. Lots of needles and other supplies, too. Don’t be fooled by the entrance, which looks like a beauty shop. The knitting supplies are on the 5th floor.
Oh I'm so gutted I didn't see this!
They offer members discount. You need register on their website. My fav shop in Tokyo, hours spent there 😄
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am czech but I live in the UK, and I haven't been home for ages. It has changed so much! I remember a lot of acrylic back in the days... I think I need to plan a trip to Prague.
Aww I'm so pleased you liked it and it brought you inspiration ❤️
TU for sharing ❤❤❤
❤❤❤TU
Hi Lauren, when I’m really overwhelmed with my pattern choices and can’t decide what I actually want or need in my wardrobe next I look at what weight and needle sizes my current wip’s are instead. So if I’ve got DK’s and worsted on the go I’ll look at my lightweight, small needle options just to keep some variety and try to avoid repetitive hand strains. I’ve also found that the projects I’m happy to gauge swatch for are generally the ones I should do next, I definitely lean towards picking the yarn I want to work with as well. The other thing I consider outside of Xmas gift season is to have one large, (sweater etc) one medium, (shawl or tee) and one or two small projects (socks, mitts or baby clothes etc). I’m knitting a sweater for my husband at the moment and I’d class it as a large blanket type project 😅 urrggghh it’s no fun at all but that’s what the side hustle small projects are for, to keep me going. I always think ultimately you should go with your heart and cast on what you really fancy knitting not what you think you should be knitting 😊
This is so helpful, thank you so much! I am thinking maybe the hat 🥳
@@work.knits. hat for the win every time! They’re so quick they definitely get me out of any knitting indecision 😁
I think navy on the hem would make it more balanced maybe
That's a really good point! X
So good to see you, Lauren. What a great start to the weekend watching an update from you. As always beautiful things on the needles. I love the sweater you are wearing. Really like the sleeves! I am very much in the spring mindset at the moment so I would cast on the rock it tee or the Faye. Looking forward to see what you choose to cast on. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
Hello Anne, you too! Ooh I'm so tempted by those two projects! Hope you are having a lovely weekend x
