Oh the spring mittens are so beautiful! What about keeping the cuffs and just continue with plain hands, perhaps with yarn held double? Beautiful present if you do not want them yourself 😊
yesss! finish that froggy! :) Those are the reason I taught myself how to knit! I've made and sold so many of them, people really love them. I even made a bride and groom froggy for at our wedding in September 🥰
oh my god that is adorable !! I did finish him in the end and even though i swore i wouldnt go through the hassle again, he is soooooo cute i might make him a girlfriend !
Thank you! And that's fair, I do like a quick project as well but then I don't want to end up with a million! So I enjoy taking my time on longer things sometimes !
I've made the Nutmeg socks! I also found the stitch pattern to be a bit fiddly, but it really helped to knit loosely to help with that k3tog tightness.
Glad you decided to continue with mosaic crochet backpack. I started a project doing a Le Pouf cardigan with gradient pink yarn from Alison & Mae I was regreting choosing the pink but now I've almost finnished the body and I really like how the cardigan looks it reminds me of a pack of fruit mentos. Good luck with the frog.
For your one skein of yak/silk I highly recommend the Venezia Shawl by Joji Locatelli - a sweet knit. I enjoyed this episode and love the sweater you are wearing.
Great Video!! If you end up keeping the Croft I think pairing it with a fluffy yarn in a "non-matched" colour could make it look amazing. Maybe a slightly lighter dusty blue? Bigger gauge for more drape and faster results 😜
Thank you, that's so sweet !! It was more effort than i thought to put it in at the end and i wasn't even sure it was worth it, but the fact you specifically commented on that made it all worth it !!
Oh! I can’t believe you had the courage to frog the mittens! They were sooo cute! 😢RIP I love all your wips BTW. The scarf you’re making is way more beautiful than it would be the sophy one… Just saying… Thank you for such entertaining episode! ❤️
thank you! It was difficult but i dont regret it, i feel lighter ! And thanks for the reassurance !! I might try and do a few repeats on sharper needles to see if it is smoother to work on. Glad you enjoyed the episode!
I’m so excited for every video you put up Vanissia! I love the topics you talk about and how much you share your reflections on projects, patterns, yarn, fabric and fit😍
Thank you, Vennesia. I love the colours you go for. Knit what makes you happy but perhaps knit the cardigan and your boyfriend's socks and you can rewards yourself with a new cast on ❤
I've picked up the cardigan and sadly the sleeves cannot be done on my small circ, so i will do magic loop but i won't let that stop me ! Now that the yarn is joined back, I have more motivation! And my boyfriend tried the sock on and he likes the fit!
The ending was so satisfying to watch, after following the tales of all your pieces and seeing you take the actions to proceed! Really great format and good luck with all the plans!
Ahh thank you so much for saying ! It was quite a bit of work, so I am really glad it fit well with the rest of the video ! And it was an excellent motivator !
Great video, Vanissia, as always! I have many hibernating WIPs as well, and I'm relieved to hear that I'm not the only one! The one, of yours, that I'm most excited to see is the Cargill in that gorgeous light blue yarn - oh my gosh - it will be stunning and match your eyes beautifully! Hurry, hurry! 😊
Hi Vanissia,what a stunning collection of WIPS! I think you are making good decisions about what to finish and what to frog. You seem to be the most excited when talking about finishing the sweaters and the little crocheted frog, so I will be eager to see which of your WIPS are finished first! As I watch your video I am knitting on my very first Ranunculus, using Wooly Knit Yarn2Cone merino held double. Thank you so much for that coupon code, I just love working with this yarn!
Thank you!! And yes, the frog will probably make an appearance in the next podcast episode ... and that's fantastic, glad you took advantage of the offer ! I love being able to hold it double and make a whole sweater from it, feels very economical
My biggest unfinished wip is the EXP sweater by Susanna Kaartinen . It's also in half fisherman's rib, and it's in fingering weight (!) so boy, is it a labour of love. Fisherman rib grows so slowly especially in fingering weight yarn. But I don't mind because I love it so much, and I only have a sleeve and a half left. I made it out of yarn that I kind of regretted buying because I don't typically wear those colours, but it was just the absolute perfect pattern for it, and now love the yarn and the sweater. It's so beautifully squishy and drapey, and the pattern is amazingly written, I'm definitely making another one in more 'me' colours. The only reason I havent finished it is because I was going through some life stuff that forced me to put it down, and that was unfortunately at a point in the pattern that was less fun. It's now kind of a chore to get back into, but i'm thinking i'll just set aside some time to push through to easier parts in the pattern.
thanks for sharing ! Can definitely relate to sometimes associating projects with bad emotions. The sweater you recommended is gorgeous ! I hope you get to finish it :)
I've been waiting to see updates on that seasons sweater! I love the yarn combination so much! I'm knitting the seasons cardigan, and I can't wait to finish it and wear that squishy fabric!! but it's taking so long
Love the colours of your spring mittens! I want a whole sweater with those colours!😅 I also wander if you have a tip to do a nice and tight button band- the one on your cardigan looks super neat. I have made two so far and they just are not tight enough and the buttons pull them which annoys me. Thanks!
Awww thank you!! I was not feeling the greatest about this rib to be honest aha, we are our own worst critics. I think I usually go down a couple needle sizes, so usually smaller than what the designer recommends ! And for this paritcular buttonholes, i followed a suzanne bryan video to make them over 2 rows, i think i linked it in my project. But yeah, usually just use very small needles !
How about the new Solo scarf by Caidree for the yarn you have for the Augusta? The pattern was written in Aran weight but states that you can adapt to other weight yarns.
Hi there! For the moon set tee sleeves, do you use magic loop or use smaller circulars? I’m doing magic loop for my cumulus tee and I have this annoying rip - like situation where the needle splits . I’m using Sandnes garn tynn line and it’s so unforgiving !
Magic loop for these, and that is annoying ! I think because of my yarn (merino is in it), the elasticity helped even out the tension and can fall into place more. I guess that risk comes with summery fibers sadly!
You are a true process crafter not a product crafter. It’s painful until you recognise that the. Buzz is the doing and stopping short of others expectations x
Can’t get enough of your content
Aw thank you so much!
Oh the spring mittens are so beautiful! What about keeping the cuffs and just continue with plain hands, perhaps with yarn held double? Beautiful present if you do not want them yourself 😊
Ahhh too late, they have been frogged ! But that could have been a good idea !!
yesss! finish that froggy! :) Those are the reason I taught myself how to knit! I've made and sold so many of them, people really love them. I even made a bride and groom froggy for at our wedding in September 🥰
oh my god that is adorable !! I did finish him in the end and even though i swore i wouldnt go through the hassle again, he is soooooo cute i might make him a girlfriend !
I really enjoyed your video. Thank you. I am not a garment knitter- I have learnt that I like a quick task! I admire all of your lovely makes. 😊
Thank you! And that's fair, I do like a quick project as well but then I don't want to end up with a million! So I enjoy taking my time on longer things sometimes !
My mum (from Dundee) says ‘but what are you going to do with it?’
Those orange and aqua mittens would be spectacular. Maybe do a hat or something in the yarn?
Ohhh yes, or a headband !
OMG that Studio Donegal tweed 🖤. It's always nice to take a rummage through someone's UFO's. And OMG that Studio Donegal tweed 🖤.
yessss so pretty and soft !! And yes feels i was exposing my demons haha
I've made the Nutmeg socks! I also found the stitch pattern to be a bit fiddly, but it really helped to knit loosely to help with that k3tog tightness.
Good tip ! I was thinking maybe not doing it on the foot, and just have the decorative cuff and leg? Will see !
Glad you decided to continue with mosaic crochet backpack.

Good luck with the frog.
Oh that's really good !! Love the mental image aha. And thanks, will show frog tomorrow !
I really enjoyed this ❤ makes me feel less stressed about all whats on my needles
Ahaha, someone always has it worse :p
Your froggy is so cute! He definitely deserves some legs and a sweater 😊
the legs are done !! Next up is the sweater :D
For your one skein of yak/silk I highly recommend the Venezia Shawl by Joji Locatelli - a sweet knit. I enjoyed this episode and love the sweater you are wearing.
oh that would be good for another skein ! This one is only half the yardage so i don't think it would work
Great Video!! If you end up keeping the Croft I think pairing it with a fluffy yarn in a "non-matched" colour could make it look amazing. Maybe a slightly lighter dusty blue? Bigger gauge for more drape and faster results 😜
Good idea ! it could rejuvenate the yarn ! Will play around with a second strand
Watching the end footage on your podcast was SO meditative. I am relaxed and serene. Thank you, Vanessia, for another terrific podcast!
Thank you, that's so sweet !! It was more effort than i thought to put it in at the end and i wasn't even sure it was worth it, but the fact you specifically commented on that made it all worth it !!
Oh! I can’t believe you had the courage to frog the mittens! They were sooo cute! 😢RIP

I’m so excited for every video you put up Vanissia! I love the topics you talk about and how much you share your reflections on projects, patterns, yarn, fabric and fit😍
Aw thank you !! It's nice trying out different formats and topics !
locely video, I'm also planning on knitting the Ingrid sweater
Nice ! What colour?
Thank you, Vennesia. I love the colours you go for. Knit what makes you happy but perhaps knit the cardigan and your boyfriend's socks and you can rewards yourself with a new cast on ❤
I've picked up the cardigan and sadly the sleeves cannot be done on my small circ, so i will do magic loop but i won't let that stop me ! Now that the yarn is joined back, I have more motivation! And my boyfriend tried the sock on and he likes the fit!
Wow, that was so interesting to see. It inspires me to take action with my own WIPs and face them.
Yay that's the goal ! Good luck !
The ending was so satisfying to watch, after following the tales of all your pieces and seeing you take the actions to proceed! Really great format and good luck with all the plans!

Eeeek thank you! I think i need one or 2 stockinette projects before I tackle this one, but yes, it is my absolute favourite colour in the world !
Thanks Vanissia, great video and you've inspired me to look at my lingering WIPs! 😊
I'm glad ! Good luck !!
Bye bye, spring mittens! I love your color choices for your projects, and I can’t wait to see what the Augusta scarf yarn becomes!
Thank you!! It was time to say bye bye indeed, it had been way too long. And yes, I want to use this special yarn !!
I think you should finish the Bibliophile first. The blue colour really makes your eyes pop!
Thanks ! And yes it's one of my favourite colours !!
great content and loved the end footage watching you getting everything in order or frogging
Thank you, glad you enjoyed that part !

The frog looks cuter with wonky eyes
thank you! And yes, he is a very unique boy
Hahaha "frog it" 😂😂
i had to !
@@thewoollyworker 🤣🤣🤣
This is funny just at the same time you begin talking of the Frog I was updating my Ravelry page on my current Frog WIP
OMG! I am so so motivated to finish this bad boy but god, making stuffies is not my jam

Love the cardigan version ! I really want to have this finished item, and the yarn is what is drawing me to continue !

ohh it is pretty!
Check out the Colette scarf as a Sophie scarf alternative 😍🤩
oh yes i do like this one ! Will check my yardage
You could take the Spring Mittens to the knit night as they are, and ask if anyone wants to finish them
Edit: ah. too late...
aha oops ! But good idea for another project in case!

@@thewoollyworker thanks so much! Yes merino is always so much more forgiving than other fibres like line! Noted for the next cumulus tee!
Why don't you finish those color work mitts in a solid color? You've got the cuffs done. Just finish them off with a solid. They'd look great!
Oops, nevermind!
Ahah yeah i didnt even think of that!
You are a true process crafter not a product crafter. It’s painful until you recognise that the. Buzz is the doing and stopping short of others expectations x
thank you, that is true x
