How I got started on my knitting journey and my best sweater to date
No way! I designed and made a jumper for a toddler took about 7 days to complete. I struggled to get £36.00 …… Customer thought I was ripping them off. It would have been expensive wool, but I got it cheap ….. but that’s not point really.
This is really helpful! Maybe the cost would be lower if it was possible to buy supplies at lower rate, as a business owner, but the cost of labor is still a lot for people! If someone doesn't understand the cost, it might be helpful to ask them how many hours of their labour would they do for free or lesser pay.
Love your cable sweater and the cardigan you are working on. You mentioned the yarn; Falkland handspun? what is the fiber? I have learned that lots of acrylic yarn looks like wool or cotton, but it pillls a lot! Love those socks too! I like to crochet too!
Hi, Becky! Falkland is the breed of sheep and I spun the yarn myself on my spinning wheel. I am an unabashed yarn snob--i won't knit with acrylic except in very rare and specific circumstances.
@@knittingwithknottygnome lol, I hear you! I've joined the yarn snob club myself. I prefer natural fibers. Haven't gotten into spinning, however. I have too many hobbies!
Gorgeous!
thanks!
Loved it! I cannot count the times I have been asked to sew, knit or mend something and the person is completely clueless about the length of time or the cost of materials to produce the article (usually clothing in my case). Next they say, "You should go into business you will be rich". Really, really??? Did they even think before they spoke? I make about $30 per hour plus benefits and I am going to school to become and Attorney who will be making more than that. Please tell me why, "you" think I would be wealthy making $25 or less without ANY benefits at all, knitting or sewing something for "you". SMH
I literally started my cake biz because of all the people who said I should. Guess how many of them actually wanted to pay full price for my cakes? Yeah. Good luck in school!
i'm pretty sure average folks have no idea how long it takes to make something by hand. they think we can just wave a wand and churn out garments like a machine.
@@knittingwithknottygnome Yes, and that is why we also hear people say, "It will be easy"...

Hiya :) This has been really interesting to think about. Personally I also find it so interesting in the context of "what is my skill worth" and how am I spending my time. I feel like with knitting, crochet etc. non-crafters tend to find it sort of cutesy and it diminishes the SKILL and ART and everything that we know after having practised this craft for 5, 10, maybe more years. Like yes, I can probably knit someone a pair of socks in a week or two, but that's also because I have spent 9 years perfecting my sock-knitting skills. Ultimately for me, this thought exercise has helped me rethink my hobby and what it's worth to me as well, no matter how people tend to somehow diminish it ("you know you could just BUY a sweater and it'd be cheaper", "oh I don't have time to knit in my busy life" etc.)
absolutely--just because our society has decided to discount the value of our skills doesn't mean it is worth nothing.
This is the pattern that I teach my beginners. Quilters do much more work and charge less than this. Her skil level may improve and she can make this kind of money. Piecing, edging, and intricate stitches bring in more money.
Beautiful FOs and your new wall color is really a lovely accent! I am glad you travelled safely. Thanks for the podcast recommendation, I am very curious to listen to it!! ❤
thank you! i hope that you enjoy it.
I think you should consider adding on a percentage of the cost of your tools - things wear out and need replacing!
true but the cost of crochet tools is so low and needs to be replaced maybe once in my life? it would be negligible. if i were talking about a higher priced tool like my sewing machine, spinning wheel, or loom, i would include that in the price. thanks for sharing your thoughts!
great point!
Very amateur. Hubby can keep it in the divorce settlement.
People think they are doing you a favour when they ask you to hand make something for them. It can feel pretty insulting but they honestly have no idea of the time it takes to make things or the time it took for you to become skilled. And they are easily offended if they feel like you are saying that they can't afford the item. I used to have a bespoke cake business and customers are the worst lol.
ooh, i feel for you. that must have been hard. i'm happy that i don't need to sell my work and i can just enjoy it. it was a fun thought experiment though.
I completely agree with you. See my comment above. I just dont understand people
What as whiner. This pattern is not difficult. This is a crazy cost and the fact that you are slow to make it defined your lack of skill. The yarn price was your choice. There was no complicated parts to this pattern.
@@carolmanning1333 why don't you go be rude to someone's face instead of in the comment section like a pathetic coward? It costs you nothing to have good manners and keep your negativity to yourself. Have a nice day.
Lovely sweater! And really like the wall.
Thank you! 😊
Nice I've always wanted to try ripple effect in a crochet project of mine but can't find
it's really pretty simple. there are lots of free patterns online, including the one i'm using--Neat Ripple by Attic24. best of luck!
The wall and your sweater are gorgeous. I haven't listened to the podcast you mentioned but I'm not sure about the moral conundrum. My nephew has Aspergers and has never cyber stalked anyone. People on the mild end of the autism spectrum can learn and understand social cues for "appropriate" human interaction. Casually mentioning that this criminal has Apergers in this way isn't supportive and understanding of autism, it's damaging.
i agree completely--i feel like i chose my words very poorly. the podcast did a much better job. i think they were trying to say that jail time isn't going to rehabilitate this person and get him the help he needs. although you could probably make that argument about a lot of people.
Gorgeous sweater! It looks great on you!
Thank you so much
I love your new accent wall! In this video, it looks like a deep blue... Beautiful makes! And I can't wait to see the blanket grow- happy new year to you!
thank you! it's definitely one of those "squint and the color looks different" kinds of colors. i love it.
It’s the same way just different pants
Re: dying yarn I found out that I was allergic to indigo midway through dying my hair so I feel your pain, as an alternative option you can try packages of kool aid, someone did a bunch of test swatches on their blog once but wool takes the dye in the drink pretty readily, if you like one of the colors available that might be an option. Dropped into a hot microwaved dish of yarn + water I was able to get a cloudy gradient with red.
thank you for the suggestion! i have dyed with koolaid before though it's been many years. from what i can remember the thing that i like least about it is the smell. i could try food coloring though--i've done that as well and there's no smell.
UPDATE: I talk about the book Under the Banner of Heaven in this podcast. However, I have since discovered that there is a disturbingly graphic description of 2 murders in the book. Normally I am not that sensitive to things of that nature but even I found it very unsettling. I cannot recommend this book to anybody for that reason. I apologize for mentioning the book before I finished it!
Por que lo que quiero no lo puedo tener 😢😢😢
Thank you for the introduction video. Your husband’s cabled sweater is gorgeous, I hope he gets to wear it at some point! I am very excited to see anything else you knit!
thanks for watching! actually shortly after I posted this video he remembered that he had this sweater in his closet and he's been wearing it pretty frequently.
In my experience spinners always have at least two wheels because the first one is usually a lower cost option. A gateway wheel, if you will.
oh i got rid of my starter wheel years ago. my forever wheel is my majacraft rose. then i got a hansen minispinner to speed up plying but i am usually too lazy to set it up. then i got a majacraft little gem for traveling, right before the pandemic hit, lol. that one currently lives in a closet.
Your spinning is beautiful! I've been struggling with my spinning mojo this year too, and I'd really like to get back to spinning regularly. I'd love to do a sweater spin too! Maybe in 2023. When you did your sweater spin, did you spin all the singles first, and then ply them? Or did you do some singles, ply them, then do more singles, ply them, etc?
for the undyed falkland i spun all of the singles first and then plied. since i was doing a 3ply i divided the bobbins into three categories and plied oldest with newest and middlest (not a word, but hopefully you get the gist) and so on with the skeins getting closer in age to hopefully distribute any irregularities that got introduced over time.
It was fun to be knitting some socks while watching this video. Seemed appropriate! I absolutely love your sweater. The color is beautiful, and I think you should definitely wear more of it! Sorry to hear about your health issues. Hoping you can take your mind off of it with your creative crafts.
thank you, Theresa! I am feeling much better now.
I'm a huge fan of an Eye of Partridge heel flap! I did a darning workshop with Tom of Holland at Edinburgh Yarn Festival in 2019 and he says they're the most hardwearing. I just love how pretty they look!
i like them too! though they are a little harder to remember what row you are on, lol
I think the blue sweater is such a pretty color. Thanks for sharing the recs. I hadn't heard of the Dan Levy show yet. Off to check it out!
you're very welcome! i love the color too--there's something about it combined with the fuzzy texture that really speaks to me.
I love the colour of your sweater. It's not muppety at all.
thanks so much! I'm very happy with it.
Hello! I just found your channel. I have had a growing interest in learning how to knit.
welcome and thanks for watching! i wish you the best of luck in your knitting journey.
Socks were always my go to travel project, not that I've travelled anywhere in the past 3 years. I like the St. Patrick or Two Hearts sweaters. I confess I've never been a fan of the Henley style, but it seems very popular again and I like the delicate stripes on the example you showed.
thanks for the suggestions! i've always loved wearing henleys so i'm super excited about knitting one
Ooo, those cabled sweaters are gorgeous! I think Staghorn is my favorite.
thanks for sharing! it's so tough to decide
I love your Balloon Sleeve Sweater, the colour is lovely and not at all Grover-like! I think any of those Aran sweaters would look great on you. I have no experience of knitting those particular patterns, but I have knitted Aran sweaters in the past. They are so much fun! As for travel knitting - it's always the first thing I think of and pack when we're getting ready to go away. I always pack far too many projects, but I reckon it's better to have too many than knit everything and then run out. Horrors!
i've definitely been there. what if i finish my project and then i have nothing to knit? 3 projects in a stuffed suitcase later...
I hadn't heard of Hudson + West Co yet either, so thanks for sharing! Their patterns are gorgeous! I crochet a lot of blankets, and really like both Lion Brand Wool Ease and Plymouth Encore yarns. They are both only about 20-25% wool though, and the rest is acrylic.
it's good to know i'm not the only one! thank you for the rec.
Somehow I’ve missed that you started this channel. Luckily when I was on Instagram this morning, I saw your announcement about this video. I am so glad to see you started this channel. I always love your sewing content and I have been into knitting again lately so I am excited to join you here also.
thank you for joining me! i'm glad you're here
I just finished 'the patient' on hulu and it left me depressed and sad. So, now I am watching a LOT of knitting (and sewing) videos.
I watched that one too. I thought it was really good--if a bit intense. I hope you are enjoying your youtube binge.
Hooked by Robin here on RUclips is a great channel that has lots of crochet blanket inspiration. I'm knitting sock 2 of a pair of self drafted socks and contemplating frogging a cabled sweater that I never quite finished. I have the front and back and both sleeves are knit to the elbow but it's a little small now and I can't find the cable pattern anywhere. I have so many hours invested in it that it's painful to actually start taking it apart even though it's been in my ufo pile for a couple years. 😜
thank you for sharing! i can see how that would be painful but if you are truly never going to finish it, the yarn would be better served as something else. good luck!
Wow your such an amazing knitter! Your socks are beautiful and I am so looking forward to seeing how your sweater looks. I look forward to your next video.
it's up now! thank you so much for watching.
That blue sweater is going to be gorgeous! I tried to knit a pair of socks in black yarn some years ago. I managed to finish them, but I could only knit them in daylight, sitting next to a window! 😆
yeah i've been there with black yarn. I only need the one pair so hopefully I can endure.
Lovely to see you've started a channel devoted to your knitting!
Thank you for watching! 😊
Congratulations on your new channel. I watch all your sewing on your other channel. I love to knit too, but I make so many mistakes and it’s so hard to fix them that I tend to lean toward crochet. Although there’s nothing like knitting! I also have a spinning wheel and drum carder. I recently bought 4 fleeces that I’m working on right now. It’s all so much fun!
wow 4 fleeces sounds like a lot! i still have one in storage that i've had for years now that i haven't processed yet. i hope you enjoy carding 😝
Yay! Enjoyed listening to your podcast :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
