I have a cashmere sweater that's too big and has some holes in it. You've inspired me to think that I might be able to unpick it and knit something. Do you have any tips for unpicking sweaters?
I actually have 3 videos all about what sweaters are best for it and how to do it! They’re in a playlist on my channel :) my one warning with cashmere is that it’s usually really fine so typically I plan to hold it with something else or hold double
Thank you will check them out x
❤
I made sure to skip ahead so I don't ruin the surprise haha. Can't wait to open it when we get back 💕
Haha good I’m glad I threw the extra big warning in there 😂
Fun episode, thank you, Emma. I love how you repurpose yarns and give them a new existence. It’s very inspiring 🤗🧶💕
Thank you! I’m super frugal so it’s hard to resist the idea of a whole sweater for $5-10 but I also think it’s really fun and gratifying to figure out what to do with an unexpected material! 🩷
Great choices & presentation. I really must get to grips with top down projects. Being English, ive knitted bottom up designs for 50+ years 😂😂😂
I’ve heard people say bottom up generally fits better, which I can definitely see being a possibility. I started knitting with top down pieces for the most part as it seems to be the prevalent design style these days :)
Really enjoyed your outdoor chat!
Thank you so much for watching!
Hi, I am knitting on a Ranunculus and also on a Cumulus blouse, both in plant fiber summer yarns! Enjoyed the park knitting!
That sounds wonderful! I have a cashmere Cumulus back on the needles again now that it’s cooling off :)
This was so nice😊 You really say what I have been thinking when people complain about knitting petiteknit. And I live in Norway and yes, I do see quite a bit of petiteknit sweaters around. But I think it's great! Petiteknit has done something right! Classic, wearable sweaters! And yes! Let's all just knit what we want without and not complain about other peoples knitting habits🤗 Have a wonderful weekend 🧶
Ah Norway I’m jealous! And yes as long as you’re wearing what you knit and you like it nothing else matters :)
It was a lovely video in the park! 🎉 I was watching while sorting many bags of yarn that my neighbor gave me….😮.
Oh that sounds wonderful, I love surprise yarn!
Hi Emma! I am in NY State and I am also absolutely loving this weather. It is perfect! It was so cool yesterday that I brought out my Silverlining sweater by Jenn Steingass and worked on the yoke. I’m about half way through. But my yarn is a 100% wool and I haven’t been able to bear working on it since the warm weather started. I liked your video. Being a farm girl myself I have a hard time in cities…too noisy! Looking forward to your next video for sure!
Yes we’ve finally reached wool tolerable temps though I’m sure we’ll have another gear spike or two before the summer is over! And the city is hard at times for sure, the sound of cars starts to drive me a bit bonkers if I don’t have music or a fan running :)
Maybe try using an elastic band to grip your needle just while you twist it to tighten it. The extra grip should give you a tad more tightness so it doesn’t keep loosening off. 💕🤞🏼
Yes I’ve been meaning to get something grippy like you would use to open a stuck can lid, just haven’t gotten around to it haha
@@granolagear I had a silicone mat that used to sit under my cat’s bowl to stop it slipping around the kitchen floor and I just cut little shapes out of that and use it to tighten my needles. Works a treat!
Cute little video. I am knitting on a long summer cardigan in bed. Because here in the Himalayas it's monsoon. Non stop rain for like 15h now.greetings
Goodness I can’t imagine! Though last year it rained every single weekend in New England and it felt never ending sometimes. At least it’s easier to work on wooly knits!
What's the pattern for the sweater you're wearing?
It’s the Monday sweater by petite knit! But I used 10-12 thrifted skeins in different weights to get the striped and marled effect :)
@@granolagear Thank you! 😊
Hi. I really enjoyed your knit and chat in the park. Your videos are always good but,I loved knitting with you in such a relaxed setting.
Thank you! I really enjoyed it too, I tend to talk fast and loud and being in a chill public space definitely helped me mellow :)
Coincidentally, I'm knitting a Boston Red Sox beanie 😀
Amazing! I love a good Red Sox game :)
❤
I LOVE this. Good for you!! Embrace the city. I’m knitting a swatch while watching you. Oh coincidentally, I’m about to order Drops Paris for a natural colored simple raglan sweater. How do you like the yarn?
Thank you so much for watching! I enjoyed knitting with drops Paris, as far as cottons go it was a good balance of friction on the needles not too slippery or grippy :)
@@granolagear, thanks for the feedback. That’s exactly the type of balance I’m looking for in a cotton yarn!
Really nicely done tanks!! And I love the bright yellow for April. Great job!
Yes I did a poll on Instagram and I think the choice has been cemented so I’ll be casting on soon!
❤
Thank you for this fun episode! I do love the woolly knits, and just finished a shawl. I will say, I love fingering weight pullovers. I don't mind the 3.0mm needles. I just love the lighter weight, and the ability to layer my sweaters with a shawl or a scarf. I also find the smaller gauge is easier on my hands.
Yes I haven't minded knitting on 3mm lately, but the experience of knitting that small with something like wool for fall knits rather than cotton is absolutely more pleasant!
@@granolagear My hands LOVE working with wool. Other fibers - not quite so much.
Love a good waffle texture
Ugh yes, almost better than food waffles! :)
Can’t find the “blouson tee” pattern that you mentioned…how do you spell that?
Not sure exactly which one you mean, I have everything linked in the description. The only tee was the Friday tee, so maybe the Barbroe top?
I've been waiting for autumn and winter since spring began 😅 love all the textures and botanical elements in these designs 🍂🍁
Ugh yes, I’ve been on a summer knits kick this year but now it’s august and I’m over it! (Just in time for 95 degree days😂)
Yes all the texture!!! It's really appealing!
I love colorwork, but yummy textures are really my thing
❤
I’m 66 and have always preferred collared, button down shirts. Not the trend usually! I just finished a sweater for my 4-month-old granddaughter for winter. Now, to knit a sweater for her older brother. Small sweaters are so fast!
Not usually the trend but always in style I'd say :) That sounds lovely! I have knit a few kids sweaters, but I hope to make a few more for my little nephew this winter!
You have a great podcast! I love the speed at which you discuss each pattern. Thanks for not overtalking!
Thank you I try to be concise :)
Another interesting episode Emma! So impressed that you are finishing those lingering wips . I would be ashamed to tell you how many are in my closet😊 I would like to recommend Berroco Remix light for a summer tee. I finished one last month and I find it just right for this time of year. I love the “tweediness” of it. And it is so soft. Take good care of yourself until we “meet” again via YT!
Ooh interesting! None of the yarn stores I typically go to carry Berroco but I've been wanting to check out some of their yarns because I believe they're a pretty reasonable price, I'll have to put that on my list! And yes I still have 3-4 projects on hold but those are mostly some wooly guys I'll wait till it gets cold to pick up again haha. I usually frog things pretty quick when it doesn't seem like something is working out...
Oh, getting unexpectedly stuck somewhere is maddening! I love the polo type sweater! I hope the color or shade difference doesn’t bother you too much. To me, it just looks like a tonal change. Almost intentional. Congratulations on the sample knit!
I think it probably looks close enough to intentional that I’ll keep it, I’m glad it look like it was a choice haha
Do you always talk with your hands? Stop moving so much please!
Peep the bridal shower candle on the bookshelf 💗
hehe
Side note, my youngest child is also a 2000 baby. I'm a 1970 baby so still easy to keep up with age, but I always know the difference between she and I lol I always have to figure out the age of my oldest haha
Hahaha yes! As I’ve passed a bunch of the milestone birthdays it gets a little harder to remember how old I am occasionally 🤦♀️ having it in the year helps 😂
I have two of the crochet books you shared. I use the Stitch Dictionary by Dora Orhenstein frequently when designing and alternating a pattern. I really find it helpful. I have the Janie Crowfoot book as well. It's a very nice reference!
Yes both are lovely! I don’t reach for them frequently but it’s so nice to have all the information when you need it :)
Thank you for all the inspiration. Great round-up of patterns!
Thank you for watching!
At 27:24 you show a tee and i dont understand the name 😢
I didn’t know that name at the time, I picked it up at the thrift store so I didn’t make it myself! I believe now that it is the weekender by Andrea mowry
Busan tee… it took me a while to find it
@@nancyevans5696 Oh yes, I don't usually tag things I just mention, love the Busan tee it was just released and I think it's going to be on my to knit list next summer!
Very pretty top 👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐UK
Thank you!🩷
might be wrong but that big thing of unknown cotton looks a lot like knit picks memento in the colorway winterbloom! -- i was trying to get as much of it as i could for a project right as it was going out of stock and so i recognized it at a glance haha
It looks similar but I think in person the cone has a bit more green in it, and I really wish it was a dk but it looks to be probably a lace weight 😢
What a great haul at that yarn store!
It was a good day for sure!
I think that’s a Weekender by Andrea Mowry? Great find. I love a thrifted hand knit or yarn 😍
Yes that sounds right! Off the top of my head I knew it was someone like that but couldn't place it.
Thank you! Super cute options ❤
Subscribed just a sec ago. I like how you described it. I do own a lot of patterns even though I knit like 1,5 year now. I don't have time I guess to knit it all and one pattern I decided to not knit as I found out after another project that this design will not fir my body as well. I hate knitting in panels, I knitted one cardigan like that and no more for sure. Wish you all best
It’s definitely a learning curve! Now that I’ve gotten better at modifying patterns I can usually figure out how to make it work!
Interesting idea for a video topic. I am now thinking of why I haven't knit from my purchased patterns. (I mostly buy books though.) As for the ribbed sweater, enlarged stitches when ribbing is a common problem. It comes from switching from a knit to a purl, and the extra yarn that switch involves. It made me think of a video by Suzanne Bryan, a Master Knitter: "Enlarged knit before a purl". She gives several ways to deal with this problem, which could also avoid hand pain. She has bunches of tips for making professional looking knits. But yeah, I did a lot of frogging of projects too my first few years of knitting so this is relatable.
Yes thank you! I think I may have watched that at some point after attempting that sweater I watched it and managed to correct my stitches for another project but it did take a lot longer. 2x2 rib and I just don’t seem to get along😂
Consider the frogged projects as learning opportunities. I have hundreds of patterns in my Ravelry library and haven’t made most of them. I sometimes put two (or more) patterns together, especially socks where I take the heel from one, the toe from another, and the sock design from a third. I’ve pretty much stopped knitting winter sweaters because the weather doesn’t get cold enough to wear them. BTW, even though alpaca feels soft, I find it scratchy on my skin. I couldn’t imagine wearing an alpaca bra!
I definitely do! Eventually I think you figure out what kind of patterns will or won’t work for you. And the alpaca bra probably would have been awful I just really got fixated on that pattern for a little while, it just never panned out 😂
Greetings from Austria! Alexandra
@@alexpfarl307 Hello! Thank you for watching :)
I found my pattern, although it was not included here. The one I thought I wanted to make didn't have the purchase option. The Allie Top by Line Pedersen and other patterns seem to not be sold on Ravelry at present. The one I did get is nice and I am grateful for your review here. Thank you.❤
I’m glad you found one, sorry you weren’t able to get you first pick, the listing must have been changed recently 😢
@@granolagear That's ok, the one I got is also very nice and not included in your list. If you like, I can share it here, also.
@@LydiaProschinger yes I would love to know!
@@granolagear It's the Big Chain Top by hinterm Stein Designs on Ravelry. It's a pattern that uses mesh as a yoke, cast-off in a nice i-chord bind-off for more stability around the shoulders. Next it adds little triangles, and picks up stitches around the neckline, creating increases in short rows to get to the full width of the chest size. I have been down for the first 5 of 7 pages andI love it so far. It really convinced me, is well written out. It's for an intermediary to advanced knitter, top down, and in-the-round knitting. Very clear structure in the pattern and design.
Loved your choices and presentation style. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Saved me a lot of time! Think I found my pattern! Thanks!
I’m so glad thank you for watching!
Once again you amaze me! Wow! I so enjoy your podcast and seeing what you come up with each week…especially your repurposed thrift items. I just know you are going to do something amazing with the pure silk from KFO. Keep ‘em comin’
Thank you so much this is so kind! I love the interesting places the thrifted yarn brings me but I’m really excited to try out something fun and a little fancy 😁
Put your LAV mic in your hair on a clip and turn your ac on. We know it’s hot and we’ll survive the background noise
Thank you for the tip! Luckily is survived, my apartment stays surprisingly cool in the heat with no AC but cool is relative on a scorcher 😂
