Hi. Answering your question on why I clicked in your podcast: I like all the ones I already watched. I like how well structured you make them, with pictures, details, and research results. I also appreciate when a podcaster puts time stamps, like you do. It helps a lot when you want to go back and rewatch something specific in a podcast. So the short answer it is that I’m a subscriber and I watch everything you post!❤
That was so kind of you, thank you for taking the time to say that ! I definitely prefer it when podcasters do all of that, which is why I do it !! Even if it takes more time editing. Happy knitting to you ♥
It’s the planning for me, I do like seeing other peoples knit inspo for the season but the brain behind it and color palettes *chefs kiss*
Ah good to know!
I find it so interesting to listen to your plans. I've got a request: could you do a podcast on how you find all your yarn bargains. I never seem to find yarn in sales, but you have a talent for finding all sort of good deals and discounts!
Great idea! I'll have a think about tips !
😂...yes, I have yarn that's 40+/- years old.... and I was laughing!
I love your videos and youthful enthusiasm so much❤. You got me excited to use some of that ancient wool now.
Haha, wow, I can't even imagine !! Good luck with it :D ♥
I had a sweaters quantity of a nice heather acrylic in a drawer for almost 60 years! I am using it now to make a pullover for my 13 year old grandson. Do I get the prize for the old yarn?😊
@carolynbjerk7514 yes!!! Lol. How fun😊🩷
@@carolynbjerk7514I think you do get the prize.! I thought it was bad that I had 24 year old yarn, that I hauled home from my vacation to Ireland.
Your analysis (i.e., the beginning of your video) is one of my favourite parts of your podcasts and a big reason why you're one of my very favourite RUclipsrs. :) I really love all the detail you include (price, age of stash, etc.). I think you and I have a similar approach to knitting as well as the same affinity for patterns, though I'd say our colour preferences are wildly different! (I usually knit with black and/or saturated gem-tones like green and brown, so it's really fun to see the same patterns knit up in your wintery colour choices.)
We have so many patterns in common for the fall...! I'm going to be casting on the Peach socks this week, and will also be making the Pumpkin version of that pattern as well as the Bat socks. I'm also planning to make an Oslo hat and the Lakes sweater, and would really like to try modifying the Cameo vest into a sweater. Ravelry threads for the patterns would be SO much fun!
Thank you so much, i loved reading your comment because i felt very seen !! I do take a systematic and organised approach to it and it brings a lot of joy! I love seeing different patterns knit up in wildly different yarns, it's hard to imagine beforehand what that would look like, so it's nice when you can see it !! I'm just about to cast on my lakes sweater (and have casted on the oslo hat) so if you have instagram, hit me up to be added to the groupchat !
Hi Vanissia ! I love seeing podcasts like this because seeing all of the beautiful patterns that you plan to knit and the yarns you plan to use is so inspiring. I have added some of these patterns to my queue. This fall, along with some ongoing WIPS I have, I have 3 sweaters planned for myself: the CreaBea’s Kerr Sweater using Valley Yarns Hampden in Sand and Rust; the Lunenburg Pullover by Amy Christoffers using Rauma Finull in tan with brown, orange/ rust and greens for the yoke ; and the Forager Sweater by Isabell Kraemer using Hillesvag Tinde in a beautiful shade of moss green. As always, Happy Knitting!
Hiya Priscilla, thanks for commenting as usual ! Love to hear what you have to say :D Those seem like great projects, I love the forager sweater and the kerr is on my list, once i find a good colour combo ! Those colours are all very seasonal, sounds gorgeous !
It's worth doing this!
Love listening (barely watching..im knitting 🎉)
All beautiful everyday sweaters.
thank you :)
I have bought the pattern and yarn (haven't swatched yet but hopefully it works) for the Lakes pullover. Now all I need is time. But if you get mini unofficial unKAL for that I might hop along. 😊
Oh great !! A few people have mentionned this pattern too, so will let you know when I am about to cast on !
Total honesty answering your question about why i clicked on the video……i watch all your videos 😮 i just alway love how informative and honest you are. You are such a good planner to and have inspired me to use ravelry more effectively. Really enjoyed the yarn info and theres a few patterns i will be adding to my favourites ❤
Aww thank you so much !! That made my day ♥ Enjoy those patterns when you get to them !
That’s a very good podcast ! Your enthusiasm is contagious and your plans are so well made. It is so satisfying to match projects and yarns, you did a great job. You give us so much energy. Thank you !
Thank you so much! That was so lovely to say!
Hi Vanissia. Wonderful podcast thanks! Loved hearing about all your yarns especially. I share a love for Isager and Sandnes garn and am presently knitting Beaufort 5 by Isabell kraemer - a beautiful textured knit, in alpaca 2 and spinni in light blue/grey.....my favourite colour right now. Also knitting Eva cardigan in mid blue grey, Peer Gynt. really enjoying both. On the needles too, are a petite knits zipper sweater in an aran tweed for my son coming in to winter in Boston, and also for him, a Lettlopi jersey - frogged body, bottom-up, as too large, but kept the bottom motif/colour work of and icelandic pattern - and also completed both arms w cuff colour work the same, but will create another zipper sweater body and bring this all together somehow. Ha - what fun we create for ourselves. Loved hearing all of your upcoming knitting plans. I had better rein myself in and complete a few projects presently, which also include a large double moss stitch throw in peacock merino, DK, but held double, on size 10mm needles: and a self crafted poncho based on PK zipper sweater neck/chest then merino strips basically greys but also malabrigo purple/grey, and chartreuse....with icord finished edge. All to be shipped over to him from NZ for this winter. So enjoying working my way through your podcasts, whilst I am also enjoying progress on all of my knitting projects. Love your podcasts ❤
Thank you so much for sharing all that, you painted a beautiful picture ! So many varied projects, you will not be bored. But seems we like the same blue/grey shades ! Good luck with all the lovely plans ! ♥
I'm so excited for your London vlog, Vanissia!!! I'm from London but I recently moved to Canada and I'm ready to see all my favourite local yarn stores through your eyes 🤗 Loved this video, and so glad you decided to film it!! So many amazing yarns- I'm definitely going to have to get my family to bring me over some Kinross 4-ply next time they come over as it just sounds too good to resist! The colour of yours is amaazing 😍💜
Ohhh i hope to do it justice ! I love Canada, enjoy your move !! And yes definitely try and grab some, the colours are so lovely and some are a bit heathered too
Bonjour! Tu as toujours d’excellentes méthodes de décisions et je suis tout à fait en accord avec tes choix de patrons et de laines! Bon tricot
Merci beaucoup Diane, contente que la video vous plaise ! bon tricot :D
I’m from the USA, and we use fall and autumn interchangeably. No one really cares one way or the other. I enjoyed your video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Really appreciate all the time you put into researching your projects and putting the podcast together. Love the camel and black combination. Might steal that!!! Happy autumn knitting 😀
Thank you Erica !! It is so pretty and cozy ! I'm always on the lookout for nice stripe colour combinations in the wild to steal aha !
Hi, Vanissia. I really really like your video and your energy 😊
Happy knitting ❤
Thank you so much Sandra ♥
I found your video really well thought out and interesting. I love your colour choices and think they will really suit you. I have been watching a number of autumn knitting plans videos and so far yours is the best. Thanks!
Thank you so much! That's such a nice thing to hear ♥
Love the video, thank you! So much yarn I want to buy, but so much needs to be knitted from the stash :)
Aw yes, that's the struggle !! Good luck knitting from stash you can do it!
Just found your channel and subscribed. I love your detailed explanations about why you chose a pattern and why you chose a particular yarn to make it with. Keep up the great pocasting!! 🇨🇦
Awesome! Thank you! Really glad to hear it :)
Great video. You are so organized and I appreciate all of your effort you put into filming it. I have so many new ideas of patterns to knit thanks to you.
Thank you!! That's so kind. And I am glad you got inspired !
Thank you so much for a wonderful and inspiring episode. Love all the yarns, colors and patterns you have choosen. I am excited to see them come to life in your future podcasts. I am also excited to knit from my stash this fall and I have so many plans:)
Thank you Anne, happy knitting and good luck with your plans :D
I love this type of video. I especially appreciate that you pair yarns with the patterns you plan to make. I am a planner too and love to map things out. I love the Lakes pullover and may make that as well. I am still finishing up summer stuff so I still need to figure out fall.
I'm so glad! And yes, definitely a planning person aha ! The Lakes seems very popular so I'm sure we can make room for it ! Still trying to finish my summer knits too first ..
I LOVE Kinross 4 Ply! Such a wonderful soft yarn.
It really is! Just made some penny gloves with it and they are divine !
Ulysse is lovely. I love to wear it.
Oh wow thank you Lisa !! So glad to hear another recommendation for it !
I love your idea of a stashbuster fall selection! I really need to use my yarns because I love them and I have so many Ravelry favorites that it would work well. I'm going to try making a bundle in Ravelry. Thanks for the idea!
Oh amazing ! They can be so helpful !
I really enjoy watching these videos to give me inspiration/ideas for future knits. I also love to see others’ stash/yarn ideas which also gives me ideas for future possible purchases. Sometimes I see patterns and yarns that I haven’t heard/seen before. I also find other’s patterns/yarns picks so interesting.
Thanks for sharing ! I agree a lot !
I am busy knitting the triangle cardigan / jacket.
I loved your round up and you have collected some very special yarn.
Thank you for putting together your videos they are always interesting. ❤
Thank you so much! ♥
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I am now a subscriber so thank you for a great video! I was drawn to it for the fall patterns. Fall is my favorite season and favorite time of knitting. I love your thoughts on why you chose these patterns and yarns. It helps me think of what not only inspires me but what works best for me. My current fall knit is the Daily Pullover but have been thinking about casting on the Champagne Cardigan by Petite Knits. The Lakes Pullover is a definite interest and I think I want to knit that instead of the cardigan. So thanks for that inspiration!
Ohh i have made both the daily pullover and the champagne ! I love the daily pullover, it really motivated me to try more fingering weight knits as i love the drape on them. Hope you enjoy the channel :D
Just found you !!so excited to follow along
Welcome!!
Thank you for your podcast. I'm new to knitting and I love both parts of your podcast, the yarn philosophy and patterns/yarns. I'm also living in Scotland, knitting while listening to podcast about knitting is currently my favourite pastime :)
aw thank you for saying ! Happy to keep you company :D I also watch podcasts all the time !
Love this! I want knitting friends to knit with too! ☺ I really love the look of sweater no. 22, and is on my want list. I also really love the stripe hype sweater by veronika lindberg, which you might like, it's a simple but classic drop shoulder design.
Oh yes, I've been eyeing this up seeing everybody's beautiful versions of it ! Will wait to find the perfect colour combo
i love this video, the first part when you explain everything before showing your plans is what i always want to see in this type of videos!
i just bought the pattern for the oslo hat! now i'm looking what yarn use for it, would love to have a knitting buddy for making it🤗
Aw that's good to know ! And yay, there are a few people who also have it on their list !
I would do a lot informal KAL of one of the projects you have mentioned. I plan to do a cardigan, vest, and sweater and like your choices.
Thanks for putting together a nice variety of items and designers.
Thank you! And sounds great, one of each :D
It was very nice to hear what was your motivation to choose those patterns. I've got some plans too, but I think I should - as you did - Look into my stash and make a specyfic list. For sure i'm going to make at least one vest and this one from petit knit I think is very, very nice - definitly to consuder 😀
thank you! And yes, it really reinvigorated some of my love for yarns i had already purchased. My most worn vest is one from petiteknit so definitely recommend that !
The Syrah Sweater is an awesome knit, the sleeve detail looks so cute! I used sport-weight yarn and it worked great.
Oh wow! good to know ! cant wait to try it :D
In the polo neck category: I recently finished the Perfect Polo by Hinterm Stein and I love it! The knitting was fun and I wear the sweater all the time because it is so comfortable and at the same time good looking. So I recommend :-)
Oh wow! it does look super cute !! Thank you !
I enjoyed this video. I am drawn to videos such as this that outline ones knitting plans for the season. Your choices are inspiring! A few new designers to consider. At the moment, I am organizing my stash and you have inspired me to make a similar list of what the original intentions were, rather than having it bouncing around in my head! Thanks! And LOL, I did just donate the very first sweater quantity of yarn I ever purchased, a good 20 years ago! Rusty orange, too!😊
Glad it was helpful! It can really make a difference to write it down for sure. And donating old stash must be very rewarding and freeing too ! Well done :D
I literally shrieked when you showed the cameo waistcoat. That is like my dream pattern! Straight in my queue.
I’m currently making a Felix cardigan from some grey lambswool handspun which has been hibernating for about a year…I’d love to do a mini kal. I haven’t got many IRL knitting friends who are up to knitting garments so would be super nice to join in.
Will keep you updated on when I cast on ! But if you want to message me on insta we can start a chat !
Also! CustomFit by Amy Herzog has drop shoulder sweaters. There's an option to make a super basic pullover with tons of configuration options; it will then be generated to your exact size and gauge. I'm a huge fan of the CustomFit patterns. :)
Thanks for the tip! I've heard of this before and am a bit hesitant to stray away from the classic format of a pattern but it sound it would be worth the experience !
Thanks for a great episode. Your excitement is infectious and that's so wonderful. I've just finished a long knit (for me). A cardigan with braids (Silva by Ivar Asplund) that I started in March. It has been one of those projects where everything goes wrong and it's a slog, and I second guess myself at every other step pretty much. So I feel a little burned out, and this episode really helped me feel excited about a next project. So thank you.
Sorry to hear you've not been having fun with it, I know how it feels !! I am glad the episode helped you feel excitement about knitting again ! Hope you either power through or decide to hibernate the silva then !
Salut ! Lovely video, as always. I'm currently knitting an Eclair pullover by Laura Penrose (without bobbles). I'm enjoying it so far, but classes have just resumed (I'm a teacher) so I will have significantly less time for knitting which will slow the process.
I have at least three babies in my life coming soon so I will switch to baby knitting soon. I will probably make toys (I've knitted tons of Julie Williams patterns). Toys make lovely gifts and are always very much appreciated.
Regarding your question at the beginning of the podcast: I like everything you make. Do what you like and what motivates you.
Aw, hope you enjoyed your summer of knitting then ! I've never knitted for babies, but toys seem super lovely and with more longetivity than baby sweaters. Thanks for the kind words !
The walnut heather is beautiful, it will look great!
Thank you! Looking forward to cabling again!
Loved seeing your knitting plans!! That is such a great feeling that you have the perfect yarn and amounts ready to go. Can't wait to see your fall projects!!! I'm sorry to hear that your Belgium hat got lost in the mail. That is truly heartbreaking!! That happened to me once, when I tried to mail a handmade gift for a close friend. I kept watching the delivery status and it never got delivered! At least you have some beautiful photos of the hat!
Thank you Yiqi. Yes it is a shame, I think I remember you saying on the podcast, an amigurumi? So much work !! I definitely will just wait to see him next to give him the new version this time !
Oooh! I want to knit that Friday slipover!!
It's so cute isnt it!
@@thewoollyworker yes! Wonder how that would go with no mohair added? I have not knit a vest, but I over-heat as well, so good idea!
@@Crochetedpossum if you do it with a DK it should be fine ! Will be v squishy
I came here because it was about fall. It's my favorite. I love dark colors and drop shoulders.
Aww love drop shoulders too !! Happy fall ♥
Great informative podcast
Much appreciated!
Loved this video! I’m currently knitting the hazel sweater with a few mods (by petite knit) using some thrifted Berroco ultra alpaca I found 🥰
Oh lovely !! I'd love to try this brand one day :D
My dear, I recommend the Tenane Sweater from Caidree in Cardiff Cashmere. I’m testknitting it right now. But when it’s out, you have to have a look on it, cause of it’s nice details, dropped shoulders construction and the beautiful yarn. 💯warm greetings from Germany and thank you for your work🩷
Thanks for the tip! I'm not a huge fan of the neckline, but maybe with a modification it could be my style !! Thanks for the recommendation x
Loved this video so much🥰 very veeery nice plans. AND honestly I feel the same about wanting to work on the same projects with friends so, I am working on the lana vest as well. I have casted it on but I am not very far and I have a pretty urgent test knit to knit on, so I won’t be working on that for a little bit. If you want I can wait for you so se knit it together😍 but if this isn’t what you are looking for cause I already started, I totally understand!❣️
yay I remember seeing yours and feeling inspired to move mine up the list ! Yes please, I will swatch asap !
Hi, I happened upon your podcast today and just want to say that I find your level of organization inspiring! I am an impulsive knitter and find that I don’t end up with the number of usable finished products that I would like. Looking forward to following your progress!
Welcome aboard! glad you liked it, and yes, im eager to really do knits i'll like long term !
hi Vanissia! just ditto-ing all the comments complimenting how well planned and researched your videos are! i could (and often do) listen to you talk for hours, and you’ve inspired me to work through my stash in my next projects (also downsizing/lack of storage and $$ have encouraged this as well!). looking forward to your next video :)
Thank you so much!! It's so good to hear aha. And good luck !! Money and storage are definitely my biggest hurdles too, and I am motivated to make a dent !
I’m also planning on making the Traveler’s Cardigan this Autumn! I’ve got some Soft Donegal for it. :)
oh yay, we'll be matching ! Soft donegal is so nice, will suit this type of "jacket" really well !
Love the indigo cashmere yarn, so beautiful! And really like the dark burgundy color too. I had to smile at your comment about rules. I also work better with rules, that’s why I’m a monogamous knitter (for the most part), because I know from past experience if I start another project, I never finish the first one. Currently, working on socks. Then I plan to knit Ursina by Jacqueline Cieslak. It is a top down v-neck sweater with brioche at the bottom and can be either cropped or full length. You have inspired me to look for vest patterns - great idea to use up smaller quantities of stash yarn. Thanks!
Yeah I really prefer dark colours. And wow, I always admire the strength of monogamous knitters ! I've heard great things about Jacqueline's patterns, so I want to make sure I try one out some day. Happy knitting !
I think it's interesting to hear how you have decided which patterns to choose, as well as hear about them. I really appreciate these "what I hope to knit this season" videos, as they give me ideas for the future. I'm hoping to start Albiona's Timepiece Cardigan soon, but I want to get a scarf and a small baby blanket off the needles first. If you knit Ozetta's Traveller Cardigan, I'll be interested to hear about your experience. I almost chose her Field Day Cardigan instead of the Timepiece, as I wanted an integrated button band. But I wasn't in the mood for a drop shoulder, so Timepiece it is :).
Ohh thanks for the inspiration, those are all really nice patterns you mentioned ! I need motivation to cast on the cardigan, but will do it in october !
I am a follower of your channel and yes, I was pulled in by the title 😀 nice to know what others have planned to knit and see if I would want to make the same. Thanks for the new ideas, I don’t think I will be making them, I need simple knits at the moment, I just have the Alder sweater on my to do and I still want to make the No frills sweater. I have yarn for both. Oh and the Gentle Lopi by Melody Hoffmann for my son’s girlfriend. Keep up the good work.
Oh yay the no frills is really nice and easy ! The alder is a different game for sure, I am test knitting it at the moment, and just have the sleeves to go, but im looking forward to wearing it this autumn !
I love your choices! It's so interesting to see other peoples aesthetic plus so many of these patterns I've never seen before and that's refreshing. We're going to spend a month in the desert in Southern California this winter to get away from Canadian snow for a while so all my knitting now is with that in mind. Temps range from just above zero Celsius to highs of 16ish so I'm thinking a Zipper sweater light for hubby, Eva for me, both by PetiteKnits and both in Peer Gynt, the Earth Pullover by Ozetta in my own BFL and Forager by Melody Hoffman in Plotulopi. We'll be hiking a lot so need layers, light weight for carrying and easy wash/dry. I have 4 months and 4 sweaters - wish me luck!
ahhhh good luck !! I love all those patterns, i really want an Eva and a forager ! That seems like a good plan !
I love your choices for fall makes! I have a few of these patterns on my "list"... also planning to do the elizabeth blouse in a navy blue, but waiting for my yarn to come in from a kickstarter I supported. I'll be curious to see what you cast on and would be super interested in doing a lil group chat if we knit the same pattern!
oh that's lovely !! Love it when there's a sotry behind the yarn. Keep an eye on my insta when i announce the groupchat !
Hello,I am just knitting Sophie Shawl of Drops Air bluebird mix .It is looks like a cloud and I am enjoying it so far .
Wonderful! It really is light as air
I love all the parts of your videos! I just made a list of WIPs I need to finish: 4 crochet throws, 1 crochet shawl, 8 knit tops/sweaters/cardigans, 1 blanket and a pair of socks 😅. I won’t cast anything new on until I finish at least 1! I love your organized approach to knitting!
Wonderful! What a great list. I also reward myself after setting goals, I am in a finishing mood right now to start casting on my plans. We can do it !
So well prepared, structured and put together podcast! My first time here and you have now new subscriber. I am waiting for Magda sweater pattern release from Skall Studio (already months delayed) and Fall Loop Sweater from Other Loops. After knitting sweater no.9 light on 3.5mm needle I need something quick and satisfying to start 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad you like the style. And yes, after knitting on small things all summer, it's nice to have some more chunky knits on the horizon. I love other loops !
I’m knitting another cumulus tee. I’ve a winter holiday in the sun planned so need more tees. Also going to the Scottish yarn festival so if an old idiot says hello make allowances for me. Keep doing what your doing it’s great. Gill.
Yay, will definitely have a chat !! And a cumulus tee would be handy in this weather we're having right now aha. Good planning on your part !
Honestly what made me click was your choice of colors. I’m kinda sick of neutrals and wintery colors caught me (that burgundy😍)
Also I appreciated the in depth explanation of your thinking process and the details about patterns and yarn
I totally agree! love that burgundy for sure. And thank you, it's a pleasure !
I very much enjoyed watching your podcast. I only can guess how much effort it takes.
I am thinking about knitting the Syrah sweater and would like to take part in a little knitalong. Greetings from Germany 🙂
Thank you so much for recognising it !! And that's lovely, a couple people said they're interested in that one !
Sibling sweater my size from penrose knits coming soon lovely drop shoulder x
yes, a good one to keep an eye on ! Will see if anyone does it unicolour x
I have pulled all of my Autumn coloured yarns and am on the lookout for patterns to use them for. I will be knitting the Elizabeth Blouse so we can knit that one together, if you’d like:) I always love having a mini KAL!
Wonderful! Keep an eye out on my insta, there were a few people interested so ill make a groupchat closer to the time !
I have the Elisabeth Blouse on my Autumn list as well. I'm not sure when I will start but I'm hoping soon. I'm making mine out of a deep brown wool from Knitpicks.
Sounds great! A brown would be gorgeous too. I love how much depth knitpicks colours can have in the heathered colours!
I really enjoy hearing the considerations that people put into their thought processes while curating their to-knit list. I love all the inspiration that I get for my own list! I hadn't seen MFTK's #22 sweater until I saw this video. As soon as I saw it I loved the detail of the buttons on the shoulder and knew it was going on my to-make list. It is so unique. It will be a bit challenging for me with some new construction techniques and I have never done one of her patterns before. Are they clear and easy to follow in your experience? I am thinking of steel blue stripes on a light gray background... It is so fun to plan projects! Depending on when you plan to make it, I would love to knit it along with you.
P.S. The reason I clicked on your video was "oh, she has a new video out!!!" And like I said, I love project/pattern inspiration.
😄
Aww thank you for the kind words ! Not sure when I'll cast on that one, I think late october, maybe november at this rate. I love the way MFTK writes her patterns, ive never had any issues ! If you just trust the process and do as she writes, it all works up ok in my opinion ! Always fun to try new constructions ! Blue and grey stripes sound amazing !!
Autumn is my favourite time of year as well. It is such a precious season where I live, we are lucky if we get more then a month or two in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I am also a in the best way a 👵🏼 vibe bestie, my husband does like to tease me about it. I appreciate the way you make your videos you speak well. Videos can be a little hard to watch when there filled with lots of filler’s … mmmm’s, uhhh, and like’s. Thank you!😊
Oh that sounds lovely, I'd love to visit ! We found our grandma community here with knitting ! Thank you for the kind words :)
That's a lovely sweater you're wearing today. The color looks good on you! It looks like plum, pinkish red on my screen.
Have you considered knitting the Ranunculus? It's a good way to use up your leftover yarn. For a short sleeve, not too cropped sweater you can get away with around 400 yards or less..
I knitted one in the smallest size with short sleeves. I got away with around that yardage on 6mm needles.
It's a cute pattern
Thank you! Thought i'd start things up with an autumnal sweater aha. The rusty colour from it is called "hazelnut" but it is definitely more orange than brown !
I don't love the ranunculus, so i don't think ill make one, but i wish i did, because that yardage sounds great aha !
We also use autumn here in USA. Fall is fine but autumn is correct.
Ah good to know :D
Strange to write in English since you're Belgian and I'm Dutch, but I don't trust my French enough :) I love your projects! I have too much planned to join in a knitalong now, although the office sweater (seems to be only available as a kit at the moment?) and the Coming Soon sweater are right up my alley - I need more basics! And they'll look gorgeous in the yarn you picked. I've knit with De Rerum Natura and although it sometimes decides to pill all over, it's a joy to knit with :) I might join you for the beret, although I used up my souvenir skein of Nervus fiber I got during our holidays in Scotland this year, I have enough other pretty sock yarns!
If you go on Knitflitter's own website, and not the "g-uld" linked on ravelry, you can buy the patterns separately ! I hope my de rerum doesnt pill too much then. Love nervus fiber, im so glad you were able to snatch some while you were visiting ! I don't know any dutch at all so you're doing better than me :p
Great ideas! I also decided to knit from stash although I don't have 'that' much yarn, but I like to be mindful of what I am buying and try to use it in a project that I love. My issue is that I mostly buy speckles yarn «just because it's beautiful» but I have no solid 😂
Haha, I can relate with the love of speckles ! I also always want to consider if i already have something that looks too similar, or have one planned already ! Hard to keep track !
First time watching your channel: I clicked because (a) I like the inspiration for patterns and (b) I'm super nosey about yarn stash -- I love to know what people are buying and the colour ideas and how much people have. And I guess bonus (c) I am curious about how people make plans and how it compares to my own methods and goals. I personally have one pattern per month that I aim to knit and then everything else is a spontaneous cast-on. That being said, I've only finished 5 out of 11 assigned knitting goals so far from 2023, so my goal-system is very relaxed
oh i love that idea of 1 a month, then free game ! Might steal that system for next year. I also watch the videos for the same reasons as you!
For this month, I'm aiming to knit a Velvet Mirror cowl by Andrea Mowry, but I also started an Exploration Station shawl for a shawl KAL plus a dozen WIPs 😅
I just found your podcast and I love it! I like that you added a Belgium flag to your beanie that was lost. Sorry about that. If it makes you feel any better I recently had my package of yarn delivered to the wrong address and that person kept it. But, my hubby recently requested and Its almost done.... a BELGIUM TRICOLOR SWEATER. I used the pattern called FISHERMAN'S RAGLAN by WOODLANDS KNITS. The top is black , middle yellow, and bottom is red. You might like this patter because it is a fisherman's pattern. 🥰
oh my god that sweater is gorgeous !!! Is it ok enough to knit up? And that's what my dad originally requested for his hat, to be tricolor, and then we worked it out to make it smaller aha. So annoying for the misdelivery !
@@thewoollyworker The sweater pattern I mentioned above is a very easy knit. I joined your group in Ravelry so that I can post a pic there when it is finished. I also made a Belgium Tricolor beanie for my hubby too. I will post that to your group as well when I am done. Your Dad may love it.
Wow! I had a total of like 6 FOs of summer knits, so hearing your very ambitious Autumn plans amazes me. I applaud you! I’m over here thinking, “ how does she do it?”
That's impressive though, summer knits take ages ! I find sweaters to magically work up while I'm not paying attention lol
I was so sorry to hear about your dad’s hat. Hopefully it will turn up before you start a new one 😢. I love listening to you blather on about wool! I’m making a(nother) Halibut sweater and swatching for a Guernsey no6 by Sandnes Garn
Ohhhh you should check out @knotenkopp, she has made both ! She's got a lovely podcast. And thanks, fingers crossed, but not much hope sadly
I like to see what you've noticed pattern wise, what are popular and up and coming colour ways. I watched Brookwillow recently and she did something interesting looking at general fashion trends and how they translate into knitting patterns
oh that's really cool too ! I feel I prefer knitting for the craft aspect, but lots of people love it for fashion and it shows ! So interesting
Check out the Putney sweater for the drop shoulder dk sweater! I love to wear mine!
oh thanks ! added to the list !
I know exactly how you feel by “being influenced” about buying yarn then absolutely not liking it, I’m making a Friday slip over right now in white knowing darn well I never wear white 😂 but I’m going to over dye it a dark beige color!
Ohh good problem solving aha !! And yeah beige and white always look so good on insta, but not super practical is it !
Hello Vanissia, nice to meet you! I did really love your entire celection of projects and yarns and could totally knit all of those myself. Please let me know if you start co-knitting or something og that lovely collar. I have some autumn plans which are slightly different, but I always wanted to knit a collar and Filcolana is available in a physical store here in Trondheim in Norway where I live, so why not to knit this one together😊
Hello, thank you for the lovely comment, I will let you know on here and on insta when I intend to cast on the collar ! Maybe once I find a nice zipper in a shop !
I bought the Lana vest when it came out and never knit it. Maybe I’ll knit that one along with you when you knit it!
I have several DK sweater quantities that I need to use. I’m thinking of Autumn League which I’ve knit before and love and warm my heart by drops. for worsted weight I may do the Hokkaido. I also want to knit the Ramble Jumper but I don’t have yarn for it
Thanks for sharing your plans, what good ideas !! And free too ! Hope we both do the Lana vest then ♥
Hi Vannissia, went trough favs on Ravelry, and here are some polo collar sweaters,Gemma polo by cookie the knitter, Dorotha polo by Gregoria Fibers, brioche cardigan by. Manmi Choi, and my ⭐️ is Nigeria and Zig Zag by Marianne Isager, that book was from out liabrary😊, I just dream, you seem to do both,so I hope you find a gem 💎 in there, Melissa.
Thanks for sharing Melissa !! I love a few of these !!
I’m working on batty for Halloween. Time consuming but cute
oh amazing ! They do seem like a lot of work, but so cute !!
I especially like hearing about your thought proces behind your plans.
And about Knitflitter: yes, you have gotten it right. Shop will be closing on Sept 15th, pattern support closes on Oct 1st
She plans to open up again after her maternity leave ends (which could be a year from now). All due to Danish rules, she can't have an active business while getting maternity leave support.
And I'm absolutely into slipovers/vests this fall, too. My first cast on will be the Ample Slipover by Wieseknit, and I also want to make Olive Slipover by KFO, Kat no 3 by Pia Trans/Fiftyfabulous and like three more - but these three are probably the ones that I'm going to make. I'm also currently knitting on the Field Sweater by Camilla Vad. Can't decide which scarf/shawl to make this year.
thank you for that info, that was very interesting to read !! I like Wieseknits designs, it's on my list at some point. And the other patterns you've mentioned are gorgeous ! Have fun :D
Love your video! Lovely patterns and yarns! I will definitely knit a some sweaters and hats this season... so we can connect if you like to.:-D
Thank you Eillets, would love to do a project with you !
Great video! If you see Cardiff Cashmere go on sale anywhere, please let us know! It looks beautiful.
Thank you! Will do!
I'm doing a baby sweater for a cousin expecting a daughter October. After that I'm going back to Lovage that I started last winter.
Oh how kind ! Have fun !
I find your videos and especially this video inspiring every time. Thank you for your time you spend on them.
I would like to knit the Office Sweater, but I can't find a way to buy just the pattern. Too bad. But I have a recommendation for a polo jumper for you. Do you know "Perfect Polo" by Hinterstein? I think the pattern is great. I think I will knit one this autumn.
Great suggestion! I have added it to a polo bundle haha. And you can get the office sweater on her own website, not the one linked on ravelry, if you just type "knitflitter" on google it should show up ! make sure to get the english one, not norsk
@@thewoollyworker Thanks for the tip, I bought the pattern immediately. 😊 I'm glad you like the "Perfect Polo". I love Hintermstein's patterns. She always has such fancy constructions and every jumper, every cardigan is different.
Hi, I like your podcast because you are thinking in structure and I appreciate that🥰 Just a sidenote: for the price of sweater quantity of (orange)yarn you can get a personal color analysis🙃 I'm not a pro but quite sure you are a Light Summer (cool & light)😊
Thanks for the info! It's definitely one of my goals to look more into it, i love that stuff ! Will readu up on light summers !
@@thewoollyworker I think you can relate as soon as you checked the colors and famous people with this type of coloring🙂
Thanks !! I've been researching light summer palettes all week aha, you have changed my life !
Love the autumn plans! Can I ask what sweater design you're wearing in the video? ☺️
of course !! I completely forgot, but it's the Lento Sweater, in a strand of Drops Alpaca in Chocolate and a strand of drops brushed alpaca in medium grey !
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍😍
So nice to see all your inspiration. I'm currently knitting the Robin Sweater which is designed for the Ulysses yarn, but I couldn't find that here so I'm using a different merino.
You mentioned knitting on your trip. What's your experience witj bringing a knitting project on the flight? I'm flying to Brussels next week and are having trouble finding good info on whether I'm allowed to bring knitting needles in my hand luggage. My husband thinks I'm ridiculous that I can't be without the knitting for 2 hours, but I want to knit. But I also don't want to loose my knitting things in security...
I just brought my cheap sock needles so at worst, I'd lose them, but I heard people sometimes bring wood needles to be safe. But I've also never heard of anyone getting them confiscated so depends how risk-adverse you are. I think it should be fine ! Just no scissors obviously
@@thewoollyworker I think that sounds like a plan. And I'm happy to hear you've been lucky, also because I guess you're flying from Brussels sometimes and that's the one I find the least info from.
I watch every think you put out because your podcasts are very interesting well organized and therefore enjoyable. I learn a lot from them.
I would love to buy and try out the yarn you talked about(kinros 4ply)Where can I purchase it?
Wow, thank you! And yes, it's a great yarn to get, you can purchase directly from Wee County Yarns in the UK, or fine fettle fibre, baa wool, etc, im not sure if they all ship outside of the uk but can always browse the online uk shops and see !
@@thewoollyworker my plan is actually order the yarn to my son’s address and then when I come to visit I’ll pick it up 😊
I honestly *shouldn't* click on videos like this, as I am easily distracted from my current knitting to new ideas. But I don't care! I really enjoy these looks at what people have planned.
I sympathise with your overheating problem, it's the same for me. My knitwear goes unworn for large swathes of the year. I had to embrace long ago that I can't let that bother me. I avoided sweater knitting for some time as a result, but now if I like a sweater but it looks too warm, I may well just not bother with the sleeves! The increasing number of slipovers/vests is very useful too.
I have an Oslo hat wip too, which is honestly taking far too long. I think the fact that I am using two strands of yarn together (Holst Garn) is slowing me down because every so often I miss a strand and have to stop to go back. I will try to pick it up again soon!
aw aha, yeah i also get side tracked too easily by other people's plans. And yes slipovers are a god send for that. Good luck with your hat !! I see what you mean with the 2 strands, Im having this issue with my suri alpaca sweater and fishermans rib, so im not laddering down, no way !
I love your podcast, i meed to build mine up, loopyloop if you like to take a look i have just come home from hospital after being on a life support machine. Your makes are beautiful, i love the pinkish burgundy, i wouldnt mind purchasing some to knit a sweater ❤❤
I hope you're feeling better! Thank you for the kind words, and good luck with your podcast ♥♥
🍍
I clicked because I saw all the beautiful designs you were going to talk about. Hadn't seen your podcast before, but will be back. Hitting subscribe now. I don't see the link to the pattern page with the good description of the difference between the Oslo and Stockholm sweaters. Am I just missing it or was there a problem with posting someone's ravelry page on your you tube channel? See you next episode. 😊
Thank you Charlotte ! And I forgot to add it to my description but that should be it now, under the "oslo sweater" section, thanks for reminding me !
Love your knitting plans. You don’t sound desperate! i know the feeling. None of my friends knit and I would love to be able to have a friend to knit with!
Have a look at Laura Penrose I know she has a dropped shoulder sweater coming out, it's in testing at the moment.
oh yeah ill see if anyone makes a uni-colour version !
Hi, Irene Lin has two polo neck patterns❤ from 🇨🇦
@@melissalampman7214 thanks!! they're perfect !
I am currently knitting with some cotton that dates pre euro, so guldens (Netherlands), as the price tag says 3 gulden 95…. 😂 so yeah some yarn in my stash is over 20 years old haha
Oh wow! That's a good way to tell time has passed aha !
@@thewoollyworker well, it came out of my grandmother’s stash. I have just picked up knitting again in december. It is not like I have a huge stash haha. But it was a nice way to remember my grandmother and to try out the hobby again without spending too much money in the beginning 😊
