Love the progress on all of your sweaters - that zippy makes me want to make one for my hubby in that same color. ❤ And had a speaker at my work from Wisconsin and we were talking old fashioned 🥃 and I impressed him with my knowledge of brandy old fashioneds thanks to you!
Love seeing your project updates! For the Stripe Hype, I got soo discouraged by all the ends to weave in, so on the sleeves I just carried the yarn and it looks fine! I weaved in a good chuck from the front and back panels and then for the body stripes I was over it and tied knots and cut 🤫🤫🙊🙊
Hi. I just found you thanks to Nora, aka...she references you often. I saw a pattern on my local yarn shop podcast called Seoul blouse. I thought of you. It has that free people feel you like. Thanks for the engaging videos.
I love her and glad you came from her 🫶🏼that Seoul blouse is GORGEOUS I’ll be adding to my list for spring, thank you for the rec and for being here! 😍
For your ends on the yoke, you could knit them in as you’re picking up the sleeve stitches. I often do this when I have ends in the sleeve and it works well - although makes picking up the stitches just slightly more finicky. For the body I would absolutely try braiding the ends. Worst case scenario you don’t like it and you can always go back and weave them in traditionally later!
You can carry the yarns up the side. You will only need to weave in the ends at the start and finish of each contrast color. The main color can be carried up the whole time. Either way works, but that is what I am doing on my stripe hype. I didn't want to weave in all those ends.
Lovely episode, glad I found you after AKA Nora Knits mentioned you. You might consider Aegyoknits patterns, they are very similar to the type of pattern and construction that you are talking about. Thanks again for a great podcast.
Oh how wonderful, isn’t Nora so great?! I love spending my Saturday mornings with her. What a great recommendation, I think you are so right about aegyoknits!
Lovely episode! Love seeing all your WIPs! Impressed with you being so new and knocking out sweaters! I have yet to knit many sweaters but have been wanting to more and more! I’m really trying to curate my queue on Ravelry as I have many many WIPs and out of control - for my crazy brain to focus, I need to be more disciplined with 5-6 WIPs at a time! As it feels so good to finish things 😂 Also curious on the sheep skin - did a sheep have to die for the skin to be made?? Or is it truly just the coat when they are sheared??? I would love one of them too!! ❤
Thank you so much! I’m the same way and truly wish I could cast it all on haha, and honestly other RUclipsrs are what gave me courage on all the sweaters! For the sheep skin, it only happens once the animal has died, so you can feel good knowing that!
@@jacqueismaking the nice thing about weaving in ends for stripes is that you can fix any potential wonkiness at the beginning or end of the stripe while you are securing the ends.
Check out Leslie Friend a friend to knit with on weaving in ends. I am a left hand knitter too. I would love a video on left hand knitting and how you knit garments that are written for right hand people ❤
Got to look out for future Jacque, weave in as you go! :) Thanks for another great podcast! I'm casting on a Musselburgh using Evergreen Fiberworks yarn. I need to be in the Musselburgh hat club lol!
You are so enjoyable to watch! Informative, positive, and intelligent!
What an incredibly sweet comment to receive. Thank you for saying that Joan 🫶🏼
Your husband’s Zipper Sweater is looking great! 🧶 I knit on my Bessie Scarf while watching. 💜
That is so cute!

In love with the cocoon cardi ❤
Isn’t it so gorgeous?

Girl I’m currently carrying up cuz I know this is going to happen hahaha
@@jacqueismaking haha yes! Relieve yourself from all the weaving in!

These are some super helpful tips, thank you 😊

Maybe I’ll change to doing this!
Just was going to say this

Oh you are a leftie, just like me. 😊 do you find it hard to read certain patterns? Love your videos. ❤
I wish patterns accommodated both so much! I basically flip everything that tells me to do something directionally.
I think if it’s a toothy yarn that sticks to itself then braiding is the way to go.
Thanks, Laura! It's not the most toothy... so perhaps I should weave in the ends I have, and start carrying up the rest.

The back of your Cardi is a trapezoid, not a triangle.
Ah! You’re so right!!!

I will check that out for sure, and I’d love to make a video all about how I do that 😊
Yes please! I’m always looking for videos of other lefty knitters!

Omg, can’t wait to see yours too!!! For sure need to look out for future Jacque hahah
