I am so excited for your swan sweater Rachel!!

For the quilting pattern you have in mind, it's not very difficult to make your own quilt for this jacket! Just buy your fabrics and put polyfill in it for a more light jacket. The polyfill is a polyester fabric that is sold by the meter/yard and that can be put in coat for insulation.

I recently made a coat out of a pre made quilt blanket. It was so easy and fun!! I definitely recommend trying it as a challenge. Here’s my vlog about it… ruclips.net/video/TDr4owGVYnA/видео.htmlsi=t4b5iiHP8s6Fpk3O Love you guys!!

So much inspo! Thank you both! 🩷

This is by far the easiest way I have found to provisionally cast on. ruclips.net/video/olAZk2tkTus/видео.html

I just found your channel today and subscribed. 🎉 You’re both so sweet and amazing knitters, and have inspired me to start a sweater. I’m thinking… 🤔 the Bookclub and the Paul sweater.

Cutiesss

Very cute ❤

Lots of plans! I'm such a monogamous knitter... but i actually have 2 things going right now. One is the port jacket in Wool of the Andes by knit picks in the color dove heather that I'm holding with a Madeline tosh silk cloud (the old shibui which I love, in a silvery base with dark navy and reddish pops that is giving such beautiful depth to the kind of boring Grey. This is my first drop shoulder so out of my comfort zone but I'm enjoying it. And the other is a musselbrough hat out of 2 colors of magpie fibers swanky sock that I'm color blocking. So far they are both getting attention and it's making me want to cast on a Sophie scarf also. Who am I?

Thank you for another great episode. I’m working on my own colour work sweater design, using browns and yellows. I might have to make myself a brown dress to go with it. I spent ages trying to find one online that I liked without success. Time to dust off the sewing machine I think! 😁

I am working on a pair of gift fingerless mitts which will get rid of a partial skein in my stash, yay! After that, I can’t decide what to cast on next but I have a sweater’s quantity of hand dyed yarn I splurged on from Ruby and Roses that I am both excited and scared to cast on a project. It will be a short sleeved sweater but I haven’t completely settled on a pattern yet. And then I have a ton of fabric that I bought for specific projects but I haven’t been able to make any of them yet! It’s hard finding time with young children. I love both your guys’ sweaters by the way! 😊

Hi ! I would suggest to listen to the podcast Mostly knitting crochet provisional cast on … you can do it and she explains it really well !

Provisional caston is very easy. I’ve used it when doing the Oslo hat and makes a huge difference rather than trying to pick up the stitches. You both are amazing knitters and inspirational. Enjoy your podcasts.

Love the swans and your knitters math!

i'm also planning on knitting the sophie shawl :) would it work to just keep doing increases in the sophie scarf pattern until it gets big enough? or do you think it's necessary to buy the pattern? thanks <3

Years ago I self drafted skating costumes and bridal and bridesmaid gowns (seamstress) and I always used a cheap muslin material and once I have what I want I take the Muslim apart and use it as a pattern remembering to allow for seam allowances. You can definitely can do it. You go girl !!!

Thank you Emmy, a beautiful reminder. Have a wonderful day.

🍀💕

I really felt inspired and kindred spirits with this episode. I ordered some darling subtly leopard print corduroy that I impulse bought with no plans. I have children your age but I feel that maybe a jumper may work for me. I like the idea better than pants. I am trying to clean out my stash, too. So I just finished the Garden Cardigan and I have La Bien Aimee yarn that is 4-5 years waiting to cast on the Magnolia Chunky Cardigan. I started the Riptide Slipover with newly purchased yarn and Sheep Camp Sweater from stash last month. I always have a ridiculous amount of whips going. Thanks for sharing your making. I enjoy your episodes every time. Also, I live in Burlington, KS.

I too want to decrease my yarn collection and I hope to make the Turtle Dove shawl, the coming together shawl, and the Clint Shawl this December and January. I would love to cast on a zipper cable sweater or a cable cardigan ( possibly the Braidy loop).

I loved seeing your Winter knitting and sewing plans! I am currently working on the Santa pillow by Kathy Lewinski which is going to be a gift for my parents for Christmas. 😊

Try doing the provisional cast on over a spare cable. I find that the easiest way to do it.

I love the idea of the Swan sweater! Gogo! ❤

Maybe McCalls 7946 could work as a base for the brown dress?! 🥰

Your knitting math is accurate: You also need to price in all the fun and pride after finishing and wool by KfO is ethically sourced. The store sweater probably doesn’t have all the additional value.

Was working on the first sleeve of my Embla Cardigan while watching your winter knitting and sewing plans. I plan to knit the Amy Sweater by PetiteKnit and the Kip Sweater by Rebecca Clow. Love watching your videos, they have been very inspiring and I am looking forward to see how your plans turn out!

I love your planning videos, then watching your progress or fun changes.

I love watching your videos while I knit. I’m working on my second port jacket (amazing pattern, highly recommend) and I’ve started a zipper sweater light for my husband, a modified fisherquine jumper, and a self drafted saddle shoulder brioche cardigan that’s going to have double knit cuffs, hems, and button band that I’m super excited about. I’m also going to make a few hats for Christmas gifts!

It’s always a joy watching your videos, and so inspiring how quickly you knit up sweaters. I regret not utilizing the free time I had before kids.😂 I have knit the Monday sweater for my kids but haven’t made one for myself. I’m currently working on the Cargill junior for my daughter, Aosta cardi for myself, and some socks and beanies for Christmas gifts. Happy knitting!

I love a good project planning video! I’m working an a Kerr sweater. And my goal is to make a winter yoga sweater, a Sennen sweater and a calm down cardigan this winter. And lots of socks as I usually do

I have started my Christmas/holiday gift knits ❤

Love watching your podcast! You are both amazing! My goal for right now is to finish an advent calendar shawl I started last year! Yikes!! With the leftover yarn from that advent, I think I will have enough yarn to make a Musselburgh hat and fingerless gloves! ❤

You two are the cutest ❤

Jessica’s eyes when you said how much fabric you bought is priceless 😂 my goal for 2025 is to work through my stash also…..yarn and fabric. Any tips pattern for first cable sweater? Thank you for being so inspiring with your beautiful knits ❤

Hi Rachel & Jessica, really enjoy and look forward to your podcasts. I know what you mean about the Knitting for Olive merino Jessica looking a bit flat sometimes, probably needs the silk mohair to shine. I just finished the Fig Cardigan by Hannah.knit in KFO heavy marino Bark. Its blocking atm. Its nice and textured and will be a lovely staple piece, though it looks very subtle without the mohair. Ive knit a lot in their yarns and do love them. The average cost to knit an adult garment for me living in the southern hemisphere NZ is $200. But I've learned getting the right yarn is important. I have the Dagmar pattern by petite knit Rachel, Im thinking of ordering the yarn she uses just because it is going to be a lot of work and I want it to look as good as hers. What yarn are you thinking of using? Ive also just cast on the Chamagne Cardigan bt Petit Knit for the second time, my daughter Rachel loved and wanted the first one. Im knitting it in a possum merino from here in NZ and Isager soft silk mohair and Im loving how it is looking. Im not good at updating my instagram which is woefully behind all my knits.

Sweet as a sweety both of you and your dresses. ☃️🎄☃️

The easiest provisional cast on that I have done is to do it right onto a Barber cord. Then the stitches are right there to be slipped onto a needle. I found a great tutorial on RUclips. It really is easy!

I'm currently making some vanilla socks for my grandma and some Cozy Autumn Socks by This Handmade Life for my aunt for Christmas! and then on the side I'm knitting a Dagmar Jacket for my mom and two baby sweaters, let's just say my needles are full😅

That drab yarn would look great with another colour of mohair or wool yarn.For example, a light teal would look like magic. Just a thought when you mentioned the , not the colour I thought it was. Then you could have 2 garments instead of one.😊

Very cute❤

I know what you mean about wanting a pop of color sometimes. Last winter I knit a Kelly green ribbed hat and love the bright color. I’m usually a neutrals person. Right now I’m swatching for a test knit sweater and getting the toes done for two different pairs of advent self-striping socks so I can start the first stripe of each pair on 12/1.

You used the brown!!!

Just recently started watching your channel and I'm in awe of the number of beautiful sweaters you've made. I'm working on a sweater that's nearly done. I'd frogged a cardigan I didn't like and chose a better pattern from one of my Vogue Knitting magazines. I've got the yarn and swatches for my next project, the Fall In Cardigan. I'm also finishing a pair of work socks. I've started making my own sewing patterns from RTW clothes that fit me well and it's worked surprisingly well so far. 🍁

I'm currently knitting a Tuku jumper by The Petite Knitter in KnitPicks Capra DK (a merino cashmere non Superwash blend) in Hollyberry(red) and Moonstone heather (a really light cool toned gray) and I'm obsessed with it. I have some other projects on needles but my MIL wants us to wear red and gray for a family photo for her wall and we go to visit her next week so I'm furiously and monogamously knitting on this one and I'm hoping to get it done in time

The Bergman sweater a brioche hat another hat for my sister and a sweater for my husband

My plans are to finish a sweater for my husband, make a vest for my dad, and hopefully make something sweatshirt -y for myself. I also hope to use some stash yarn

This is the most beautiful dress pattern I’ve ever seen 😍 wish I could sew my own clothes 😭

Love the knitting/sewing review - you girls are so adventurous and that is wonderful - 😊

So cute! These are adorable on you guys! ❤

I must have missed it when you said what sweaters you are wearing. Both are so beautiful, would you please say what patterns and yarn you used? Thank you!
