Oooh I must try the Pascuali mohair! I am also sensitive to most mohair and am still on the hunt for a non-scratchy one. Can I ask what your opinion is of Knitting For Olive mohair? Do you find it scratchy?
Let me know how it feels if you get to try it! I havent knitted with KFO mohair yet, but I've heard that its a bit less soft than Isager or Gepard Kid Seta. So I think I only might try it because of specific color, but otherwise I ll try to stick with softer ones. If you are very sensitive to mohair like me, I think you might like Lang Mohair 21. Its the softest for now in the market as I've heard, and the meterage is even longer: 375 meters per 25 g. Its my next one to try :) But Pasquali as well 🙃
I love your cumulus blouse! Inspired me to finally knit my own😊
Its so nice to hear! What color and yarn do you think to knit it with?
@@nikitinaknits in a dark red, I will also invest in Isager mohair 😃
@@DanielaMJung Wow, it will be beautiful, especially for a holiday season!
Thanks so much for sharing all the details on your knitting. Beautiful mittens and that blue 💙 is marvelous 💙
Thank you for watching! That blue is wonderful, true!
Great episode! I love the colors of both your Cumulus Blouse and cashmere accessories
Thank you very much!
Hi. Do you find Cariaggi in Spain? Where you bought it? Thanks for all.
Hi! I am not sure if you can find Cariaggi in Spain, I never bought it from Spain. I know there are shops in Germany, Latvia, and other Eastern European countries that have lots of shops with italian yarn on cone. I bought mine from Ukraine, and my mom brought it when visiting me here. Try googling "italian yarn on cone cariaggi', and you ll find a few options for sure. Etsy has lots of stores that offer such yarns, and you can write to a Ukrainian shop, they will help you and they send the yarn worldwide. This is my favorite: instagram.com/wool_expert/
I am so glad I’ve found your channel. I really enjoy all your yarn comparisons. I am planning on casting on the braidy loop sweater soon so all the advice you gave is so appreciated!
Thank you very much! Braidy Loop Sweater is def worth the effort, I hope you will enjoy it 🤎
I like how you noticed the difference in yardage in Isager and Pascuali mohairs. I have recently purchased Lang Yarns mohair which has similar composition with 42% of silk and also a very generous meterage around 300m. It was likewise slightly more expensive but as you have said, in the end the difference is minimal. Sadly, cannot report on softness in a garment yet, knit to knit it first!😜
Thank you! Did you buy Lang Lace Mohair? I really want to try it and the color selection is so amazing! But lang mohair 21 is even more meterage, 375 meters! it's on my list to try as well 😍
It is Lang Yarns Lace, sorry for confusion, they do have quite a few types 😄
@@stitchandthread I was also confused when saw all lang mohairs! I've heard lang lace is increddibly soft, I hope you ll enjoy your project 💛
You’re my new favourite channel! I love that you pay attention to fit details. many are happy finishing and wearing as the pattern is written which is great but I like my shoulders seams to sit straight and have been unhappy with the angling out of most of my previous tops. you highlight these design/ fit concerns I’ve encountered but didn’t know how to articulate never mind correct You have put words to my challenges re shoulder slope, short rows at the back neck etc. decreasing at the front. such small tweaks make all the difference. My mom always says, “a tailor is your best friend.” Your videos highlight little steps that I’ll incorporate in future. You’ve enabled me to be my own knitting tailor…I’ve saved your first few videos for this reason. Thank You!
I am so so happy if my videos are useful for your knitting experiences! And you are right, details matter as we hope to enjoy knitted garments for years! I love the expression "a tailor is your best friend", because this is where I learn about construction all the time, from experienced tailors! My grandma was one of them when she was alive, and she was a knitter as well! Your comment is very inspiring, thank you very much 🥰
Such lovely knits and another great episode🥰
Thank you Marie ☺
Thank you for this lovely episode, waiting for the next❤.
Thank you for watching 🤗
Beautiful knits! What is the brand of the brushed cashmere cone? Thanks. 😊
Thanks! Its Cariaggi SENSE, also all of the details with the metrage and composition are mentioned in the description under the video ❤
❤️
Love your knitting style and attention to garment fit. I love more modern minimalist patterns. Thanks for all the details. ❤
Thank you for being here and sharing such warm comment 🤍
Completely agree on the mohair from Pascuali, it’s just so so soft.. i saw people compared that with lang’s mohair as well, not sure which is better, but i’ve already ordered it😂
Oh Lang Mohairs are so soft, especially lang mohair 21, it’s softer than pascuali for sure! 😍
Lovely podcast! Such a shame about the braidy loop sweater :( I was really looking forward to knitting that pattern but now i’m so sacred of the mistakes! I hope yours turns out really well 💕
Thank you very much! Oh yes it’s a pity :( regarding mistakes, if you just follow a ravelry note I’ve put on a screen during the podcast, you should be fine, I think the rest is ok (but I have to knit the entire sweater to make sure hehe) 🤍
What a bummer about the Braidy Loop Cardigan. I agree, it's such a nice design, I was also tempted! I hope it will still work out for you!
I still hope to get my motivation back , because yes the design is amazing and I can’t wait to wear it!
What a nice podcast, loved it so so much. Especially I love blue cashmere, dream yarn and perfect color 💙
Thank you very much ☺️ cashmere is a pure cloud ☁️
Thank you for another wonderful episode! I imagine Pasquali mohair is so soft!
Oh yes it is 😍
Finally another episode~!
I thought the same when I published the video 😄
Thank you for a wonderful video and Beautiful pattern idea´s ❤❤
I am glad you could find some inspiration 💕
Thank you for the suggestions, some are really lovely, would turn them in raglan or contiguous as I find dropped shoulders do not look good, at least on me.
Oh I wish I could also be able to redo constructions! But I feel I still luck experience with cabled and structured knits, so maybe in the future! Raglans of course are way easier and sit better in many cases, true!
Very helpful; a 🎁 to see all the research 🌟
My pleasure ☺️
I love that you feature lesser known designs thank you. I also enjoy the little details you highlight. I really liked the tube neck detail of the red sweater. Sometimes i go wandering through ravelry sweaters by sorting the line up differently (Instead of popularity etc) and find so many wonderful designs.
Oh yes I do that as well on ravelry! Put many filters and find so many talanted people! Welt stitch on the neck looks great, true! Love getting to know new designers that aren’t yet very popular and speak about their work 🤍
I learned so much is just a few minutes! You sound like a professional knitwear designer! I'm definitely subscribing 😊
Thank you so much 😌💕
The plain knit tee that you’re knitting reminds me of a summer tee I just finished using Isager Trio 2, the Saltkraken Tee by Sari Nordlund . I really like it, thought you might as well . I didn’t stripe it .
Will check it out! Isager trio 2 is on my list to try, do you like the yarn?
@@nikitinaknits Yes,very much.
I just found your videos and your insights around design are very impressive! I love the elements you have incorporated into your self drafted sweater, the double knitted rows at the neckline and the short rows over the shoulder to address bunching . Thank you for sharing . I’m looking forward to all your videos. 💕
Thank you very much for such inspiring comment, it means a lot 🤗🥰
I love Japanese and Korean knitwear design, it has got a really different and creative approach. I’d very much appreciate if you could create a bundle to have an overview and easy access on Ravelry?
Yes, they are beautiful! All ravelry links to each design are mentioned right under the video in the description box :)
@@nikitinaknits I’ve seen that, but a link to a Ravelry bundle as provided by many pod casters specifically gives a great overview, easier to access and compare! Consider it for the future maybe, it’s a great additional feature.
@@gabijohn7027 Thank you, great idea! Will do that for the next pattern round-ups :)
I follow a lot of Koreans and Japanese people on RUclips. I love how they make their videos. They still have a lot of subscribers even if they don’t show their face. I watched one just a couple of hours ago and the girl frogged her cardigan three times because she didn’t like the fit meanwhile I can’t bring myself to start one bc I’m afraid I won’t understand the pattern.
Oh yes I love their process videos where they knit only one project throughout. I also have that friction when starting something complicated, I think we all do :) We just need to start!
Hi, Your videos are excellent, full of information and ideas, very inspiring! I prefer to work from 500g cones of yarn too, so can I ask you how you knit double with the yarn if you only have one cone?
thank you very much 🤎 You will need to use yarn winder, and wind up separate balls. The amount of balls should be equivalent to the amount of strands you will be knitting with. You will need scales as well. So lets say your cone is 500 g and you want to knit with 4 strands. 500 grams divided by 4 will give 125 grams. So you start winding yarn and create 4 different balls of 125 grams. Now its ready to be knitted with 4 strands :) In your case, since you need 2 strands of yarn, you only wind another ball of 250 grams and you are ready to knit :) I hope it made sense! There are some tricks on how to knit with 2-3 strands from one cone, but I dont like it personally. It can become madness, and its not comfortable as for me.
@@nikitinaknits Many thanks for the detailed reply, that helps so much. All the best with your channel, you are a talented knitter.
Great video. I retained a couple of sweaters to knit this winter.
Thank you! Which ones have you picked?
My next project is the Solene Cardi which I purchased the wool right after seeing your video 😊 and I’m eyeing the Braided Loop Sweater for a future project.
Thank you for including non mainstream patterns. There are so many wonderful designers that don't get enough light. So thank you for sharing your thoughtful and insightful analysis. Looking forward to your next one. I'm happy to be a new subscriber.
Thank you very much for such a warm comment! This is so true, many pieces of art literally out there from non-popular designers, and even though it takes a tone of time to research and find them, I am always glad to do it, first of all for my knitting processes and of course now for the people that enjoy to watch and get inspired!
I really enjoyed the collection you presented and your English is 💝
thank you very much 🥰
Omg you just discovered me some new obsessions! The diamond cardigan and the Athens sweater look super nice. You won a spanish subscriber hahaha
it's always nice to have Spanish people here, thank you for watching and I am glad you could find some inspiration here 🥰
I agree on the diagrams… it also helps when making adjustments…
Yes! Hopefully, it will become a popular act among European designers as well! I saw that PetiteKnit had included the size schematics in her new Dagmar Jacket, which is great!
im currently knitting the athens cardigan! i fell in love with the fabric and stitches and its the perfect oversized cardigan for me! knitting it in sandnes yarn merino and kidsilk held together! also check kkotnip cardigan by eunji choi! it has very delicate baubles and looks so soft and feminine. i knitted it a few years ago and i want to knit a short sleeve version lol also irene lin on ravelry has so many cute designs!! ive knitted 2 of her designs already and planning my next one lol!
I saw the Athens Cardigan and it's so beautiful! I hope you will enjoy the end result :) Will check out the cardigan you have mentioned, I am in love with such style! Irene is an incredible designer, I watch her patterns as a piece of art!
I finally found the time to watch your fall knitting plans. This is quite an extensive list! 🙂 Just wanted to mention that, since you said that you are sensitive towards more rustic yarns, unspun yarns might not be a good option for you. They definitely fall under the rustic category, even Nutiden.
Yes the list is quite loaded, but I think three projects I have mentioned (that I dont have the yarn for yet) will move to the next year. Maybe an unspun could be an option for an unbottoned cardigan, which has to be worn with something else under :)
Hi, I'm going to Tenerife in November, could you please recommend some yarn shops? Thanks a million!
Hello! I would recommend Hand-DIY and Merceria El Escudo :)
So many beautiful patterns to add to my list! The herringbone classic and heart chain were my favourites here but all of them are gorgeous. Thanks for putting this together Evgeniya ❤
Thank you very much, Sheri! I am glad you found some nice patterns here ❤
Lovely to see a brand new to me designer in this list. I’ve never come across Sitalkina but I see what you mean about her details. Will need to add some to my list. Beautiful plans!
She is such a pro in what she does! she released a classic crew neck cardigan, I want to knit it as well. Thank you very much ☺
Funnily enough, knitting a Carol Feller design (Torc) using Bio Balance as watching this!
@@marsy1480 oh wow 🤩
What do you wear at the beginning? Thank you very much ❤
@@beatelaustroer9538 it’s “For The Love Of Brioche Jacket” , you can watch my podcast 01, I speak there about this finished object 🤍
I will follow your blog because you do care for a good fit and you explain how you achieve it. Thanks!💫
Oh yes I m always on a hunt for a great fit designs 🤍 thank you very much!
Even if it's in Korean, if you use ChatGPT for translation, it translates perfectly.
love this video!! I knitted one pattern from knits pour moi and I love it! I've also have the diamond aran cardigan saved for a while
I love this designer! And the Diamond Aran cardi is a dream, I wish I had more time to knit it all
Amazing video! I was looking for similar patterns! Thanks for sharing your choices, now wanna make them all😍🙈
@@katabatystudio welcome and thank you ☺️🙏🏼
Hi~!! I love your pattern choices. They look absolutely stunning. (The cardigan you're wearing as well~) I'd like to say that I have knit with Cascade Eco Merino DK and it pills quite a bit - not as much as the green Lana Grossa 12% cashmere that you used before but requires some constant care. I'd recommend adding a strand of mohair to slightly improve the situation...
@@anqixue6032 thank you very much! It’s very good to know, it’s very useful! How does it feel next to the skin?
@@nikitinaknits I knitted it as a cardigan too so it was not in much contact with my skin (neck area), and for the parts next to the skin I had no issue. It's not the softest yarn in the world but I was ok with it because I wore it as a jacket over a shirt... I found a few straws while knitting too =D The yarn definitely had that rustic wooly fluffy look and really showed off the cables!
@@anqixue6032 thank you! I guess this is the look I am aiming for and adding mohair maybe should help the peeling!
@@nikitinaknits good luck! I am sure it's going to turn out great~~!!
@@anqixue6032 and also good luck to you with your beautiful projects 🤍
I recommend Rose lace cardigan! And amitie cardigan by knitree.
Thank you! I will take a look :)
I made the Need more Sweater. You may need it too. 😂 I made a grey one in Garnstudio Drops Nord. That was a good yarn choice. I have yarn for a second one at home... First have to finish some Wips.
You are the proof that the name of the sweater is true to reality!😄 I will consider drops nord, how scratchy is it to the skin? or not scratchy at all? I am already browsing for yarn in my head/stash for this project, really want to knit it!
Hello i like your videos a lot. From where do you get your cashmere cones. Can't find the name of the shop.Greetings
@@yassim74 hello! Thank you, I buy all my Italian yarns from Ukraine, and they ship worldwide. My fav shop is wool_expert instagram.com/wool_expert?igsh=MW9pMXdiaXN0Nnk4NA== , her name is Anna, write her a DM with the request for what yarn do you want and she will help you
Thank you so much
YESSSSSSSS please do follow up on all these videos!!!!!! 😍
Already setting up the list for the part 2! There are so many beautiful designs!
