Just found you on my recommendation list. I changed all my knit pro sock needles to chiaogoo needles, love them they are so sharp without splitting the fibres and the cables are the best, they don’t keep curling the wrong way…. If you know you know
Thanks so much for sharing your knitting kit! I share your love of swivel cords and wooden interchangeables. I have a set of Lykke needles, but never really bonded with them because of the cords. My set has black plastic cords that are sturdy but not very flexible, and no fun at all for magic loop. Your Lykke needles are beautiful and very tempting :-) I'm currently obsessed with Lantern Moon ebony interchangeables. They're lovely to hold - so smooth, and very sturdy even in the tiniest sizes. The joins are seamless. And of course, swivel cords! I purchased a full set, but tips and cords are also sold separately so you can have multiples of the sizes you use the most. The only drawback I've found is the dark color - it's hard to see black or navy yarns against the ebony wood! Before that, I was a big fan of Chiagoo interchangeables and even the infamous Fortes. The original Fortes may be the perfect needle for me: sharp pointy metal tip, sturdy wood needles, and swivel cords. But the joins were very inconsistent - very smooth for some sizes, but awful on others. After having the metal tips separate from the wooden needle a few times I had to put them away. (Chiagoo was wonderful and replaced the tips immediately, but the problem didn't go away.) My first favorite needles were Signature Arts metal circulars. They made an amazing stiletto tip. The cords were good for magic loop, but not exactly interchangeable as the cords were sized. So I couldn't use any cord for any needle size - a 4mm needle needed a 4 mm cord. Unfortunately, the company closed last year! For socks, I use Chiagoo red lace fixed and interchangeables. Nothing compares with that super pointy tip! Now I'm a little obsessed with your tiny Japanese snips - I may have to treat myself, because you really can't have enough sharp scissors :-)
You convinced me to go for swivel cables! Put them on my christmas wish list together with the notion box. :) Also eyeing up the knitting swan pouch and project bags.. My favorite needles are my ergonomic needles from KnitPro: the nova cubics. I'm a tight knitter so I prefer metal needles. These are easier on the hands because of their cubic shape. I also tried the addi ergonomic needles but I prefer the KnitPro ones.
I only use ChiaoGoo interchangeable needles. I have them in 5" from 2.75 mm to 10 mm and in 2" and 3" shorties from 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm. I also have fixed 9"circulars for socks which I really enjoy. Sometimes I wish I had wooden needles for certain projects, but I definitely don't feel like I can justify buying anything else! I love all your pretty cases for needles and notions. You have such a chic style. ❤🧶
I have two sets of wooden needles and one stainless steel. They are different lengths. All Chiaogoo. Worth the investment for me since I knit with a variety of weights, materials, circumstances. I love looking at other people’s tools. Great vlog! 😊🧶 PS - I hate ribbing and sown bind off aren’t my jam. 😂
A great substitute for blocking mats is children's chad Valley soft foam play mats which you can find at Argos. My favourite stitch markers are my Knit Pro Mindful sterling silver plated Chakra set. I think I got mine from YarnWorkx.
I also have the drops classic knitting needles set and those were my first needles too! (Recommend for beginners!) I actually love them so much, now that I know it is compatible with knitpro and lykke is even better! It is also because that’s the only needles I have so I have no choice but to use them to knit and recently I wanted to try out knitting socks but I’m still deciding to get the chiaogoo shorties or just get the long cable ones and knit in a magic loop? I have both knitting and removable notions mostly for crocheting. I also enjoy making my own notions with beads! So far I’ve turned a few charms into stitch markers like my grapes, lemon and tomato charms that I made with mini beads, i also have a few tulip ones! Other than that, I have a gold scissors which my mom gave me, scrap yarn to hold stitches, a crochet hook, measuring tape and a darning needle to sew in ends. As for blocking, recently I just purchased my first “blocking set”, I bought normal foam floor mats with a knitpro dupe blocking pin set! I used to block with just a towel laid flat!
Great video! Thanks you so much to finally do youtube video, because I love to watch what you do. Maybe you can show us a little bit of milan? I would love to see the city one day!
I have several bags and the notions pouch from the Knitting Swan, Wow! Love them! Can't wait to order more at some point in time, realistically will dream about it lol
I think I might look into buying some swivel cables for my knitpro symfonie needle set (the needles themselves are great btw). They look like they might be a little easier on my wrists, and the poor things need all the support they can get 😆 Thank you for letting me know those exist!
I have a tiny different perspective on needle sets, especially for beginners who finds it hard to commit to a full set. From fingering to bulky weight, you are most likely to use a range from 3.0mm to 6.0mm needles. Smaller ones are for socks, which often works better in any types accept interchangeable needles (dpn, fixed circular, tiny circular). And for bigger ones, i cant think of any, im knitting a bulky weight project now on 5.5mm. So that range of needle size is most commonly used, and most comfortable for your hand too. Buying them individually is probably cheaper and more efficient than a whole set.
That's why I bought Chiaogoo - they have a smaller sizes set and a bigger sizes set. The smaller goes up to 5mm. I've only just bought a 6mm pair to add to it after 3 years.
Hey Celine, lovely vlog again, very nice to get to know about you a bit better 😊. I had visited Beautiful Knitters in September but unfortunately you weren’t there 😊. I watched your last video about gift knit and decided to knit the Clotilde sweater for my mother in law as well, thank you for the suggestion ❤. Wish you a nice weekend with your family and if you plan to come to Innsbruck (Austria), just let me know 😀😀😀 (we are actually neighbors 😀). Looking forward to the next Vlog 🥰😊
Hi, Celine! Can I please ask if for the Winnie sweater I could use Knitting for Olive's Heavy Merino? No mohair strand, as I get itchy. Would that get me close enough to the pattern gauge so that I do not have to do any additonal math? Thank you!
Hi! I’ve knitted the heavy merino on 17sts gauge before and that was nice. Winnie is knitted on 16sts, you might JUST be able to hit that, maybe the fabric will look a bit slightly loose? Also, just noting that this yarn has really good stitch definition, so the short rows will probably show. Worth attempting though 🤗
Ciao! Quale set di ferri circolari consigli per una principiante? Io lavoro a maglia da diversi anni ormai ma ho sempre usato i ferri in linea. Vorrei farmi regalare un set abbastanza fornito ma non esagerato come prezzi e pezzi (non lavorerò mai sotto i 2mm né sopra i 9 mm). Grazie in anticipo e buona giornata!
I asked you to show the inside of your mittens. I want to get into colorwork, and they look so beautiful. I was just afraid that I would not be able to use them because of the floats inside. Thank you for showing. They look very neat. If you could make a tutorial on colorwork that would be awesome!
@woozybyceline mamma mia complimenti per il tuo inglese! Solo quando hai detto una parola in italiano mi sono detta...mah e' italiana? Davvero davvero complimenti 👍 Tra un paio di settimana andrò a Londra a trovare la mia migliore amica che vive lì e farò un giro x negozietti se hai qualcosa da consigliare! Ti ho scoperto da poco ed ho avuto modo di seguire solo un paio di video cmq mi iscrivo 🙂anch'io ho iniziato un canale da pochissimo TADAA ferri circolari E' una bella avventura ! A me piacerebbe raggiungere molte persone specie del mio comune per creare un piccolo centro dove insegnare ai più piccoli ... soprattutto quelli magari poco seguiti dai genitori ...un sogno in grande😅specie perché lavoro a tempo pieno...vabbè ti ho raccontato un po' ..in bocca al lupo x tutto
Why are there so few knitting tutorials? There’s so many knitters like you who only talk about knitting. It’s super frustrating for someone like me who is trying to learn and can’t understand patterns. I think that’s why crochet is more popular. First of all, it’s easier because it only requires one hook but also it’s because there’s a plethora of crocheters on the internet who are happy to show everyone how to crochet.
Hey, easy, no need to come out swinging here. There are a lot of good knitting tutorials out there. Sheep&Stitch is really good for very beginners. But that’s not this type of video, and that’s ok.
Different types of knitting content for different types of people and preferences! There’s SO many knitting tutorials already out there on RUclips, and there’s also creators who exclusively do tutorials and more technical content (e.g. NimbleNeedles). On the other hand, a knitting podcast (the type of content Céline mainly posts) focuses on a maker’s projects and their individual knitting/crafting journey. A very typical format for this is talking about 1) finished objects, 2) current projects that are still a work in progress, and 3) future plans/yarn acquisitions etc. I personally prefer podcast-style videos because they’re longer, chattier and I watch them while I’m knitting. If those types of videos aren’t what you’re looking for that’s fine, but Céline makes such excellent content (she’s one of my faves to watch and follow along with 💗) and I thinks it’s a little unfair to devalue that just because it doesn’t align with your personal needs and preferences. There’s knitting content for everyone out there, and if you’re after more tutorials then perhaps it’s better to look for that in other channels :)
It’s all about preference, no need to be so harsh. I used to struggle with knitting since I started with crocheting and now I can read knitting patterns easily. It’s the same as crocheting and crocheting needs more than 1 hook depending on what you crochet, search for tutorials if you need one. Celine’s channel is where we watch her podcasts or vlogs as we get inspiration and share what we all knit, not where we learn how to knit. Since she’s not doing “tutorial” contents and you might learn how to knit here but not like a literal tutorial. Go slow and enjoy the process of learning and exploring the knitting world!

I'm definitely a metal needles girlie, wood just feels so slow to me! My favorites are the addi rockets and chiaogoo red lace :)
Ahhh thank you so much for the shoutout!!🥹 you’ve inspired me with your notions box, need to get one asap😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a fun episode. I'm literally doing a sewn bind off while listening, haha! Thank you for the time, Kimberly
The puppy at the end may have been my favorite part of this video 😂 I loved all of it, but that was just the icing on an already delicious cake 🧡

This was such a helpful video thank you! Planning to get my first set of needles for Christmas ☺️❤️
I love use my lykke sets like you…. Also have a few metal needles and recently addi rocket squared the fixed ones…for different fibers ….
And thanks for the info about knitting needles. Think I’ll give Lykke a try
I have several bags and the notions pouch from the Knitting Swan, Wow! Love them! Can't wait to order more at some point in time, realistically will dream about it lol
They are so cute, aren’t they?! 😍
I think I might look into buying some swivel cables for my knitpro symfonie needle set (the needles themselves are great btw). They look like they might be a little easier on my wrists, and the poor things need all the support they can get 😆 Thank you for letting me know those exist!
I got the knitpro mindful swivel cables to go with my sympfonie needles and can 100% recommend them!
@ that’s good to know, thank you!🙏
I got those and the lantern moon cords too! Amazing

I never tried addi short sock needles, but I really like knitpro short needles.
