oh noooo I'm so sad for your cozy classic light, because it's truly so gorgeous. The neckband mods you did were so pretty, I'm in pain for you T.T
I am too omg I really want to wear that😭❤️ it gives fancy light academia
You can try to wear a little silk scarf on the neck and hide it a bit under the collar (for your white sweater)
Yes I could defo try that!! I can ask my mom for a light coloured scarft. Thank you for watching and for the suggestion❤️🥰
@@knittingflem thank you for sharing ❤️
I feel your pain with the scratchy yarn. 2023 was a scratchy year for me too!!! I have decided to give up on mohair which is very sad with all the lovely patterns out there. For one sweater I substituted a thread of alpaca for the mohair but it also itched my neck. One success though was the Louvre sweater by Petiteknit. I used KFO merino and KFO Pure Silk together and it worked for my neck. Not a cheap knit though. Another success was the Cumulus Tee knitted in Isager Trio 2. A lovely, drapey tee that washes well in the machine on a delicate cycle. Not a great range of colours. I knit a second Cumulus in KFO Pure Silk. Also a success and I machine wash. I knit a Tolsta tee in Krea Deluxe cotton. A lovely drape and feel but takes forever to dry even after being washed and spun in the machine. Not ideal for a summer garment that needs lots of washing.
Just some ideas. Not easy for you on a student’s budget. I enjoy your podcasts and your honesty.
Best of luck in your exams. Stay positive and happy knitting in 2024.
THAT IS SO USEFUL!! thank you so much for sharing that🥰 I have contemplated mixing animal fibres with plant fibers, so I am thrilled to know that worked for you😁 i should definitelly give it a try this year!
Thank you for watching, wish you health and happy knitting🥰❤️
lo del clima, se siente igual acá en argentina😭 it's hard to wear knitted pieces sometimes, tons of love🫶🏼🇦🇷
Weather can be an absolute asshole when it comes to wanting to wear some handknits without dieing😭 I feel you girl
Wish you health and happy knitting❤️
I am sensitive to mohair too 😢 but also mohair from drops is propably the most scratchiest on earth 😋 In my local yarn store I tried ITO and Isager mohair on my neck and they didn't feel scratchy so maybe we should try them 😃 for now I bought suri alpaca to replace the mohair in my Arctic Light Sweater and girlll it is sooo sooooft I really recommend it for you to try 😊
Uhhhh that combo for the arctic light sounds so lovely!😍 I heard about those mohairs, and I think are very expensive. It is probably worth it but I'd like to feel them before havening to commit to such a big purchase. Unfortunately no yarn store in rome stocks either of those (*cries inside)
Thank you so much for the suggestions tho that is very helpful 🥰❤️
@@knittingflem it's a shame that they are that expensive :( I often order some yarn and then have to sell it, because of the scratchiness :( maybe ordering just one skein of mohair for try is a good solution, but anyway we will propably struggle all our live with this mohair thing 🤣
