The white bits of slub in your yarn are defects, I would suggest removing them, it’s distracting from the cohesiveness of your knitting. Just my thought in how it looks.

FYI the lykke sets can use any of the knitpro cables, the regular lykke, mindful and my favorite ones lantern moon work with them too

Wool and Company also carries Lykke cables and needle tips sold separately from a set. That fast shipping is really helpful for when your needle breaks unexpectedly! :)

Your gift knit, if it's going to be worn and loved it needs to start with the best life. Unless she's in a very cool climate they can't wear it right now anyway so you have time to fix it.

IMHO you need to fix your friend’s sweater. It isn’t hard to fix a hole or area and there are lots of RUclips videos on fixing holes (not sure what your issue is) or just rip it out and reknit. A sweater lasts a long time and the benefit of a handknit is that you can make it beautiful. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can fix or redo the sleeve 2nd time around. Chilly Dog has a video on how to fix holes @ the underarm that I use all the time. Good luck and great podcast!

Your zip sweater looks amazing and I love the colors you chose.

you can also use the knitpro cables with the lykke needles! i have a knitpro and lykke set and i use the cables interchangeably :)

For anyone wondering, I am wearing my Plain Yoke Tee (LeKnit), knit with Sadnes Garn Line in a dusty green color

I think I have the same Jensen yarn in stash and I keep wondering what to make out of it! I'm currently wondering between Esther Sweater by petitknit or Judy Sweater by Gregoria Fibers :)

Congratulations on your wedding!! I got married last year and being married is great :) love your podcasts and hope you and your husband have a wonderful life together!! 🎉

Like the Athens cardigan better but both are gorgeous! The 2 sweaters have very different gauges, being knit in seed stitch or in pattern even though they use similar yarn weights. Suggest you knit a swatch for the pattern you love most and if it doesn’t work out try swatching for the other pattern. I usually swatch before I buy a pattern as I’ve had too many issues getting gauge even when I use the yarn the pattern specifies. I often knit a different size to compensate for not getting gauge and get the fit I want. Enjoyed watching - first time seeing your podcast!

I love the Chantall sweater, I've been wanting to make it! You've picked such nice sweaters

athens cardigan all the way 🙌

I like the idea of both cardigans, but I think I'm leaning slightly towards the Athens!

Loved all your pattern picks. I have added several, if not all of them , to my favorites, along with stash yarn suggestions.

If you want to have an alternative to Sweater No 8 and try out a new designer, I would recommend Gregoria Fibers she has a similar design but then you could try a new designer if you havent already knit something by her :)

I’m planning to knit sweater 18, I just love the texture and fitting ❤

Love the patterns! You are making me want to knit for myself 😂. I’m in the midst of knitting for grandkids:). But I have Brooklyn tweed shelter and a petite knits vest waiting for me ❤

I don't know that you need to rip out and reknit the sleeve, but I do think its worth taking out the patch job and trying again. If you're anything like me you were probably a little frantic and panicked the first time, and didn't do as seamless a patch as you could do if you do it in a relaxed and meticulous manner. The tension and twisting/pulling of the stitches is what makes it look more noticeable. The thicker gauge really works to your advantage to be able to get a much more seamless patch, if you take your time. Little Star CC has bunch of hole repair videos. Of course it's your choice, and I'm sure your friend would appreciate it either way. But I also know that if I was your friend I would say "its fine, it looks good," regardless of if I actually felt that way. I'm sure most people won't notice it if your friend walks by, but I strongly suspect you could do even better a second time around.

Omg the Athens cardigan would look so gorgeous in that yarn! Both cardis are cute but the athens is <3

Everytime I do a project I forget which increase is left and right lmao. I just type in m1r and watch the first video that pops up.

In regards to your gauge swatch, I would be tempted to do another going up a needle size. Then check gauge on the new swatch and from there you can decide which fabric you prefer You can do some sweater math. I know Little big Knits did a podcast to explain this. Essentially you measure you’re stitches/ inch then multiply that by your desired chest circumference and ease you are wanting. That should give you the final stitch count when you split for sleeves. From there you find the size that best matches your math. Hope this helps.

I would block the sleeve and see how it looks afterwards, but if it looks the same, I would rip back and re-knit it personally. But you have to do what's right for you and your timeline. Your friend is most likely not wanting to be picky because they aren't doing the work and asking for alot and knows it lol they seem like a good person and probably knit worthy therefore having it done correctly. Chalk it up to a lesson learned maybe 💙

Instead of re-doing the entire sleeve, you could try cutting it, knitting a few rounds then grafting back the rest of the sleeve without the holes/mending.

The color of your friend's sweater is so beautiful and classic! It really gives me vintage fisherman vibes and I'm here for it

Wow can't believe all the comments to reknit the damaged sleeve. I think your patch work looks good. I'd leave it. I noticed your gray sweater although beautiful is not in your color palate. Just watched 'two purls in a pod' and they did it on color analysis for our skin tones. ruclips.net/video/mtWS31plEms/видео.htmlsi=dum_YpPM3i4UYwOo Might help you figure out your colors. The Zipper sweater brown tones looked really good.

You need to rip the sleeve back and re-knit it, you will be happier giving a gift that has not been patched. It does look patched

I suggest rip back and reknit the sleeve.

Maybe the more you wash your lace vest the softer it will get. I’ve heard that linen works that way.

Beautiful but I would rip back and redo it. When I have a mistake I always debate but am always glad after I've reknit.

Ocd person, I would rip back and reknit. Once I see a booboo I can't unsee it, even with blocking. The rest of the sweater looks so professional. Congrats.

I think I would rip back and reknit the sleeve but I’m ocd.😉

No, it doesn’t and I bet it looks less obvious once you block it and when the rest of the sweater is done. 🥰🥰

Impressed that you did all that lace work! In the future, block the pieces before finishing. You can pin the neckband in the middle and a couple places before sewing them together so you can fudge it a little if the stitches don’t match up. I think you could give it a good soak and pin it to the right specifications and it will be fine, though. Just make sure to give it extra dry time or it might spring back.

Hope you washed the swatch to make sure it holds its shape. I am also planning to do the zipper sweater but the "light" version using DK weight yarn. I'm looking for only 100% wool so it does not grow and that is the yarn that is suggested in the pattern - not merino but a more sturdier type of yarn for me anyway. (pattern recommends Peer Gynt by Sandness Garn - a 100% Norwegian wool) Plus want a tweed type yarn. I'm also going to do the Champagne cardigan and then will hold two yarns together etc and use fancier yarns. Plus I think a tweed will hide any irregularities around the zipper. Like you I have not knitted that kind of zipper collar. I will get my zipper from Petiteknits since unsure the quality will get online elsewhere. But maybe the local quilt shop might have it - once I figure out the wool I'm using. Have seen a video on youtube on how to hand sew in the zipper.....BUT I do think it would be great if you did a project vlog too! I did not realize how many yarns "grow": like super wash merino, of course silk, most likely alpaca Probably not mohair. Thanks for informative video.

Your cardigan looks great!

2:50 is such a pretty combo.

Definitely block the lace top! The lace will open up and it will get wider and maybe the armholes will fit better. You can block cotton/linen pretty aggressively as well if you want it to stretch in a certain way.

Would love to follow along doing The zipper sweater!

If you like the fabric in your swatch for your zipper sweater, then use the stitch count for the chest in the two sizes to calculate the ease that each creates and pick the one that suits you best.

Love the vest you're wearing! What pattern/yarn did you use for it?

Maybe a tortoise shell buttons with hues of grey and that caramel brown would be nice? Looking forward to seeing what you pick :)

There’s a @Nimbleneedles tutorial that shows how alternative use of “traditional” stitches are actually possible and beautiful. Your raglan lines on that plain tee are lovely and I’m going to switch up my M1L/M1Rs in future for certain things!

I would do dark chocolate brown buttons. I think black wouldn't be as nice on a navy background And I think light brown would stand out too much and have too much of a warm undertone.

For Sari Nordlund's pattern, Maybe you could try placing stitch markers between the lace pattern repeats. It's still very pretty. 😊

I always remember the M1 like this: M1L the picked up stitch is mounted from right to left on the needle (like it “looks” to the left) and the other way around for the M1R! I heard that in a video sometime and boy it changed my life.

I always think of Stephen West saying “I left the front door open” and “be right back.” That helps me get it mounted correctly and then I knit through the opposite.

So Nice to follow your knitting. I can see that you Are fond of Skandinavien designers. Do you know the knitting magasin Laine? It is made in Findland but translatet to english. It is about nordic designers within knitting. Stephen West is a great, you can learn a lot from his videos. But also Kimmie Munkholm is great. She is danish and her videos is danish, but she show how to do different part in Petiteknits designs.

ruclips.net/video/lsJndA4LzR8/видео.html This is the tutorial I've been using for m1r and m1l!

M1L is front to back knitted through the back loop. M1R is back to front knitted through the front loop. ruclips.net/video/L_Hu5d6ExdM/видео.htmlsi=zPFxEAumACs7AQ5l
