Friends! Starting from 14:46 the audio gets really bad. If you have auditory sensory issues I advice you to turn off the sound, maybe rely on the captions if you want to continue watching, but I will also still love you if you decide to stop watching. There was no time to rerecord and the video wouldn't be whole without some of the thoughts at the end... So my apologies and listen with care ❤
I just came in from the kitchen with my dinner in hand and thinking I would pull up a fiber video to watch while I ate. Lo and behold, new Jente video uploaded two minutes ago! Aren't I lucky :D
Such a lovely project! The colours work together beautifully, very good contrast on all of them! Also, congrats on being brave and trying out a Scary Thing, glad it worked out so well I'm not a vacation person so I don't have much experience with Vacation Yarn, but before I moved in with my partner, we both always got yarn during our visits to each other! Less as Vacation Yarn and more because of course we had to go to a yarn store together every time! If I travelled elsewhere though, I absolutely would seek out local yarn to bring home
Today is holiday in US that I opt out of.start the day watching you and thinking in 39 yrs of working had 7 vacations including driving in blizzard to adopt a baby. Never have steeked anything. Thanks for boosting the economy.hope the flood recovery is going well
The Klee Pullover is gorgeous, yet I think I'm searching for something that uses the four colours in more equal amounts. Right now I'm thinking the Warp Vest by Sarah Ottosson
I love the vest! It's so cute! My first steek was also in a vest, only I had to write it in myself... The pattern split for the fronts and back, but I was using a gradient yarn and I didn't want to mess up the colour change... so after someone on a forum suggested a steek I figured out how to do that. Still pretty proud of that, especially since the yarn isn't even 100% wool so according to all the sources I should have machine reinforced the steek, but my crochet lines are holding up fine! On my last holiday I didn't get souvenir yarn, but I did get souvenir D&D dice. I think of the little shop and all my poor friends who I dragged halfway across Madrid to find it every time I use them :P
The vest is so cute. Also I’m so impressed that you did the steek alone. The first time I cut my knitting I needed the moral support of other knitters!
I love everything about this!!!! You did such a wonderful job, and the colors are perfect. You’ve inspired me to knit one…maybe with some Handspun, onion dyed targhee? Another inspiration from you. For those leftovers - what about the Klee pullover by Midori Hirose? That’s in my queue… thanks again for the wonderful content ❤
This is so cute! I love the vintage vibe it gives! And your love for cables and color work is very relatable. I go between stranded knitting and cables, and have been terrified to try steeking! Maybe it's time I try it myself? Probably on something with a much large gauge first, because my go-to is worsted weight yarn. Thanks for taking us on your trip!
I was watching this while caking up a few skeins that I bought while on vacation in Berlin a couple of days ago! 😁 I love buying yarn as a memento of places I visit (particularly locally produced yarn). It feels like a more tangible way to remember a place, which is much nicer than buying something that just gathers dust. I bought some gorgeous mohair and silk blend yarns - I don't know what they will become yet, but I'm excited to knit with them over the coming Christmas holidays. And if you're ever in Berlin, I can recommend the shops Yarn Over Berlin (ooh it was like a candy store of beautiful colours) and Wollschlößchen - the owner of the shop was the loveliest lady - I had such a nice conversation with her. It made feel so grateful to share this craft that so many people the world over take joy and pride in ❤
What a lovely vest!! I am also working on a fingering weight project with only four colors: The Falasteen Scarf. It's a pattern inspired by the motifs of Palestine and the proceeds go to charity. I'm really enjoying it and I'm actually using it to stash bust and not following the four color recommendation.😅
Beautiful work, if I could knit this, I would make it christmasy red-green and white "snowflakes". Still can't wrap my head around, how somethink like this can be handmade.
I love the colors you picked out, and it must be so nice to have a garment that holds so many memories; your past trips, this current trip, steeking for the first time (go you!!) 🤩 I can't believe you made that in 10 days!!
I know it as Mauve. It is a color that changes depending on what it is partnered with. Teal lis another color like that. Great vest. Wonderful bravery on the steeks.
Good Morning! I know very little about knitting and you are So much more advanced and adventurous than I!!! Holy Cats, this is just lovely😁. Recently started studying color theory in conjunction with spinning shenanigans and here you are making new combinations... Have a fabulous today, Steph 😁
Love, love, love your vest Jente! ❤ Great job with the steeking too - you truly are a fearless wool warrior! 😁 Honestly tho, steeking is a game changer once you get the hang of it. It’s a fabulous technique. 😜 Glad you got to have a nice holiday, and it was super nice you supported local businesses in a time of crisis. It goes a long way to boost morale. Looking forward to your next episode … hugs from Darwin, Down Under 🤗🌴🌴🌴
Thanks for the scenery and the company. I am grafting a very dark brown fingering weight sweater body where I cut out an extra 4 cm of length. If I realized how difficult this would be, I would have kept the less than ideal fit! It will take several more videos before I am done. Your vest looks spectacular, congratulations on the steeking.
Hi Jente and Dries, I hope you're both well xx ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. I guess you could call it a 2in1.

It is amazing! I have never heard of steeking and I was so nervous when you started cutting the garment. Loved the mindset of learning a new thing! Yeah!
What a lovely vest! and so quickly knitted. It looks perfect on you! I always look for sockyarn on vacation, nice to think back when you are knitting and wearing the socks.
Lovely job ! It made me laugh ironically. Ive just started knitting Kaffe Fassetts carpet pattern pullover/vest with my handspun mix of Gotland, English Leicester and a small amount of a mystery fleece which is probably Romney. My yarn guage is out and i really do need to start again with smaller needles or my vest will be huge but kei te pai (all ok) as we say in NZ.
Great vest! Congrats on your first steek, as well. I love finding local yarns and fiber on vacation. I usually buy sock yarn, and then knit socks or mitts that remind me of the trip. harpingJanet
Congratulations on your first steek! I’ve never attempted it. About that ‘pink’ yarn… perhaps that’s what they mean with ‘vieux rose’…? To me, colour, unless it’s digitalised into little ones and zeros by a spectrophotometer and analysed by the proper software, is a very relative thing. Depending on the light frequency and the surrounding colours our brains interpret it so differently. Then again, I’ve spent a few years at an art academy, have worked in textile and after a detour in an entirely non colour related sector, now work for a company that produces and sells… colour measurement equipment and software. My poor SO who without his glasses and contact lenses, is clinically blind, doesn’t get it. SO: “That’s a pretty green. Why don’t you buy it and knit yourself something out of it?” Me: “Because it has too much yellow in it.” SO: “???” Me: “The shade doesn’t suit me. It’ll make me look like death warmed over.” SO: “Such a pretty green? You love green!” Me: “Trust me. And yes, it’s a very pretty green. It’s just the wrong green for me.” SO: “???… If you say so…?” Same SO who was certain he’d perfectly matched the colour of his wallpaper by painting over a tear his cat had made into it. By painting it over at night. By lamp light. The next day natural light showed it didn’t. Bless him. I love him so much. But there’s one area I’ll never trust him and that’s colour.
Such a beautiful and interesting vest! I'm trying to spin jumbo yarn as here aren't available many supplies for spinning, but I just can figure out the hand spinning process yet 😬.
@@MijnWolden You're too kind! However I'm so excited for that upcoming video. Who know when and what will click at the right way and I'll figure it out 😄
If you have enough remaining yarn for it, there must be a cardigan pattern that would match the vest or complement it! Then you could wear them both as a coordinating set!
Haha half of my stash is travel souvenir yarn and half my projects are. What obviously is caused by being a nomad and always traveling. I am just knitting on a beach shirt for next week while freezing in my bed. And now I need to plan holiday knitting for 2 month with only hand luggage.have a great day. Lovely vest
I've been at Iceland last year and bought wonderful skeins of Icelandic yarn. Naturally I've knitted an Iceland-pattern-pullover. I'm always searching local yarn on holidays.
such a pretty vest! :) steaking terryfies me so much but I will have to try it at some point hehe :P also! you mentionned you were learning to edit your audio and wanted to say there is a noticeable improvement on this video :)
You can increase or decrease the fear factor depending upon the wool you use. If you use a really "sticky" wool, like Shetland, your stitches won't go anywhere and there's very little to worry about. If you use a slithery yarn, hmm, well, that definitely will get your adrenaline going. I'd avoid doing that - unless you do something like using a sewing machine to zig zag over the bits that will become edges before you actually cut them.

Love the vest and I do think you were brave to steek!
The vest is stunning and your trip looked like lots of fun :) Thanks for taking us along!
Awesome vest. It looks fabulous on you. Your 4-color choice is perfect.
Turned out gorgeous! It’s a really nice pattern. I’m very impressed you got it done so quickly on such small needles!
Wouldn't be able to do it so quickly if I wasn't on a holiday though :-)
Beautiful vest.. the colour combo is perfection! 😍
I knit a whole sweater for myself in the malabrigo sock "primavera" colorway and it's 👌
Oooh I can imagine yes!
Making breakfast for myself and my toddler in the west coast of BC while watching. ❤️

A castle ruin is the perfect location for a finished item reveal ❤
Except that it was pretty windy haha
The vest is so cute. Also I’m so impressed that you did the steek alone. The first time I cut my knitting I needed the moral support of other knitters!
I had my husband as moral support nearby :)
i’ve been wanting to knit this for months!!!! you are only intensifying that desire, it turned out SO beautiful
This is your sign to cast on then!!
I love everything about this!!!! You did such a wonderful job, and the colors are perfect. You’ve inspired me to knit one…maybe with some Handspun, onion dyed targhee? Another inspiration from you.

It wasn't as scary as it looked, honestly, and greatly to be preferred over flat knit colourwork

I love buying wool when I'm on holiday if I can find a nice wool shop.
You picked beautiful colours for your vacation yarns and your colour-work is amazing. Congratulations on your first steek!
I hhave an idea, make the vest again but sub out either the brown or yellow for your original green. that would look pretty I think. xxxxx
Turned out perfectly. \(^-^)/ Congratulations on conquering steeks!
I always leave room in suitcase to buy yarn from places I visit
Necessary travel arrangements I say. I also prepare a list of fiber shops before I go :D
Beautiful work, if I could knit this, I would make it christmasy red-green and white "snowflakes". Still can't wrap my head around, how somethink like this can be handmade.
A christmas version would look really cute indeed!
Beautiful vest.
Love your fairisle vest. You are very proficient in processing colour work. Beautiful 💕
Gorgeous vest! 🎉
I love the colors you picked out, and it must be so nice to have a garment that holds so many memories; your past trips, this current trip, steeking for the first time (go you!!) 🤩 I can't believe you made that in 10 days!!

I know it as Mauve. It is a color that changes depending on what it is partnered with. Teal lis another color like that. Great vest. Wonderful bravery on the steeks.
Propably also related to Taupe, another such changing colour.

Love how the vest turned out 🤩
Beautiful knit work and cool color combination, this pattern is on my list now.
Seeing you with the scissors gave me so much stress, and I wasn't even the one who knitted the vest in the first place 😂
It's very cute, by the way.
Don't worry, me and my scissors can't hurt you :D
It is amazing! I have never heard of steeking and I was so nervous when you started cutting the garment. Loved the mindset of learning a new thing! Yeah!
That Rowan yarn was possibly made in the village I grew up in, Holmfirth, West Yorkshire! ❤
Oh how cool!
What a lovely vest! and so quickly knitted. It looks perfect on you! I always look for sockyarn on vacation, nice to think back when you are knitting and wearing the socks.

that vest is so beautiful
I can read a book while sitting backwards in a bus. I'm blessed with having everything but car sickness.
@MijnWolden reading a book on the bus is ok if it covers my whole field of view.
I get motion sick watching 3D movies :(
ah a new video, how great:+)! so excited to see what you make
Success! The vest is beautiful
Beautiful project as always! No worries about the sound - my sensory disorder wasnt set off very badly. Thank you for the warning!
Thanks :D
Very nice. The colours are perfect!😊
Looks lavender to me! I love it very much.
Lavender would be fitting for a yarn bought in France too :D
Beautiful vest! Great job on the steeking 🎉
Great knitting,well done. Loved the video, from Scotland.
Beautiful work❤❤

But if the entire world is your home... is it still holiday yarn? ;)
@MijnWolden that is a good question. I should discuss it in my new debate course.
fabulous!
looks great
I've been at Iceland last year and bought wonderful skeins of Icelandic yarn. Naturally I've knitted an Iceland-pattern-pullover.
I'm always searching local yarn on holidays.
That sounds amazing, I would love to visit Scandinavia one day
Love it!
That made my day! But now that song is stuck in my head lol
Which one? Swedish Pagans or Ratattouille's Kitchen? ;)

such a pretty vest! :) steaking terryfies me so much but I will have to try it at some point hehe :P
also! you mentionned you were learning to edit your audio and wanted to say there is a noticeable improvement on this video :)
Tip: use wool that felts easily, and is very grabby (I used Shetland and alpaca, and that seemed to have been a great choice)
@MijnWolden ohhh good to know! :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤
heel mooi
still too scared to try steeking. one day... one day...

Nah that's not it. I have a list of skills to get through and it's alphabetical (jk)
Coincidentally I did pick Shetland without even thinking about its qualities for steeking.
One day, courage will find you! Or the pattern might be too magnetic...
@@MijnWolden honestly most of my stash is pretty viable for steeking. But I am a coward. Anxiety and whatnot is the killer of many of my endeavours.
