Thank you for this video! Its a beautiful cowl which I have started making. I learnt to knit earlier this year and will check out your other videos 🤩🧶🪡🧵
Thank you for this lovely free pattern it’s the nicest one I’ve seen and for the tutorial. Yarn arrived today just waiting for needles can’t wait to get started.🧶👍🏻
This is perfect 👌🏻 Thank you so much for taking the time to share & explain always xx So grateful to have found your lovely channel. Have a beautiful weekend & a wonderful Mother’s Day ✨
Thank you yes I'm fine. I wasn't crafting much for a while . It's been an unsettling time for us all. I'm enjoying my crafts more now thankfully. I'm not wanting go be on camera at the moment but I'm working on a beginner tutorial. They are harder to make but I love encouraging new knitters . It's very rewarding to send something positive into the world. I hope you are well and enjoying your crafts . Take care x
Thank you for this pattern, it is truly lovely. I am in Phoenix Arizona but we do have a bit of chilly weather and, of course, travel to Flagstaff for the snow and skiing! I am making one for each of my girls and grand daughter (and myself) and also, the grandson's girl friend! Will be wonderful gifts for next ski season. I enjoy your channel and your instructions greatly. Thank you for your talent and your gift of sharing.
Thanks so much ,Tina,,,love it,,, Have a very soft color to use for this feather and fan pattern,,,Just wrote it out,,, It's so pretty,,,I am sure UR mum will love it,,, Elaine🏡🏡🏡
I absolutely loved your vanilla socks tutorial and now Im ready to take the leap and make a big sock aka cowl hehehe that you for all the quality content. I appreciate you 🧡
Thanks so much Tina for showing us your tutorials.I really appreciate learning from your WONDERFUL and WELL done knitting lessons.Any toe up sock tutorials in the future? I watch and learn from your videos and then help my 95 year old mum do the same .🍀🍷Happy St. Patrick's Day🍷🍀cheers Lynne
That's so lovely helping your mum . It's great to know she is still knitting . It gives me inspiration for the future. Take care and love to your mum x
Hi Tina, lovely clear tutorial as always. I think that the pattern shows off the delicacy of Ellie’s yarn beautifully; I’m sure that your Mum will love it (and her card and books as well, of course!). I hope that this won’t offend you (and apologies if I’ve got this wrong) but I’m reasonably sure that this is the old shale pattern - as far as I am aware the feather and fan pattern is a 2 round repeat over 14 stitches (round 1 - K4tog, (YO, K1) x 5, YO, K4togtbl, P1 as many times as needed; round 2 - K13, P1 for the entire round). Both patterns have similarities in that they have decreases and YO increases but they produce a different effect - if you fancy socks in either pattern, Amanda from Shuttermonkey Designs has free patterns for both on Ravelry. Personally I prefer old shale and have made a pair of socks using Drops Nord in that pattern. Cheers, J x PS: I went to Aldi this morning and it was a close run thing but I managed to take the yarn out of my trolley, put it back where it belonged and walk away!!
Ha ha well done for rescuing the yarn from your trolley. I thought it was too simple for feather and fan but that is what it was called in the stitch book so I thought it must be . I shouldn't believe everything I read in books x
Edit: thank you again for this beautiful pattern. I was only able to do 2 repeats of the pattern (because I was messing up) then added a row of eyelets (using your method) then more stockinette and binded off purl wise. I started with 85 stitches using shawl in a ball metallic yarn... Anyhow, the metallic strip+being a newbie is what messed me up a little.. I'm 58 and brand new to knitting... I kept it as is because it's still wearable and a learning experience ..... If it were crochet I'd have frogged it and redone it but the knitting to so long couldn't bring myself to rip it out 😊 I want to try again with regular yarn. Thanks again for the pattern. Thank you for the pattern and tutorial. Stitch multiple of 17, correct? (I only have heavier yarn and will have to do less stitches)
Hi yes I'm fine, thank you for thinking of me . I have been busy working and we managed to go to Spain which was amazing. I haven't been very productive craft wise hense no videos for a while . I did take down some videos because I want to change the channel to be more informative and tutorials rather than personal chatter . I'm going to make tutorials on the projects I'm knitting and reviewing yarn to make the channel more helpful to knitters . All the cross stitching will be on my Fancy lady cross stitcher channel. I hope you will enjoy the new format, I'm hoping to have an update video this week . Take care and happy crafting x
@@Simplyinstitches So glad you are well and were able to go to Spain. Looking forward to your new videos (though I always enjoyed the personal chatter as well, it was nice during the pandemic. 😂)
Made the cowl, had some problems, the fans had a very open look. I tried to keep it tight, but that just didn't help either as it just kinked everything up. Washed it and blocked it after finishing and still was a bit tight on the fan areas.
Yes i did see the lace section under the more i just wasn't sure if what I'm repeating is 1 though 4 8 times or just row 3 i appreciate your time and i love this pattern.❤
I made this and cast on 170 and its still tight!!! How do i increase it? I want it at least double the size to lay loosely around the neck. Im so disappointed. I love the pattern. So many compliments!!
Just started this beautiful cowl and I have a question. When you say rpt lace pattern 8 times does that mean I’m actually doing it 9 times if you know what I mean? Doing it as read and then repeating 8 times or just 8 times in all? I know it probably is a silly question but I’m quite a novice with patterns. Lol 😀. I absolutely love your channel Tina, you explain things so well thankyou and take care x
Hi there! Just wondering what happened to your previous podcast posts? I miss them. They were fun to watch and I always enjoyed seeing your new projects. Hope things are going well for you. I did remember watching your last video that said you were going to be taking a break from RUclips, however I didn’t realize that you were going to be taking down your vlog videos and only leaving the tutorials. Take care and look forward to seeing new videos from you, if and when you return to RUclips! 😊
Hi, thank you for thinking of me. Yes I did come back and make another video a month after my break . I have decided not to make update videos. This is mainly for 2 reasons . Time - work and parents need my support . Minimalist- I'm a one project crafter now it feels better for me. I really haven't got things to talk about. Every vlogger with tell you of the self imposed pressure to do more . I would like to contribute to the community by updating my tutorials because I know they have helped so many people. I'm sure I can do them far better now and in my own timeframe, no pressure. Take care and thank you for your support. There are lots of amazing RUclips crafters to discover , have fun x
Thank you for the update. Best of luck to you and your family. I wanted to let you know that I am thankful that you left your tutorials on RUclips. A few years back, I learned how to make socks from your videos! You are an excellent teacher and you sparkled my interest for knitting again. I learned to knit a long time ago when I was a kid and could only make a basic scarf. It has been fun trying to knit other projects now. Thank you again. You will be greatly missed. Stay well. 🌸💕
That is so pretty! My needles are ready, but I couldn't find the right yarn, so my local yarn shop is ordering a wool/alpaca/cashmere base and we're going to try and dye it ourselves - woo! thank you so much for the pattern! One quick question. It looks like you did a yo ssk 1 time, and then two ssk without the yarn over? Is that right? I'm still so new to knitting that it might be what the pattern says and I'm just not comprehending it. I shall do it as you did in the video, just to be on the safe side. Thank you again for sharing your patterns and your creativity. Your mom is lucky to have such a thoughtful daughter!
Hi, yes I'm fine thank you. I hope you are well too. We have been to Spain for a few weeks so things are looking up . I'm hoping to make a video this week . I'm very much a slow crafter at the moment so I'm thinking of changing the channel to help knitters with tutorials on the things I'm knitting rather than podcasts. Any cross stitch I will have on my Fancy lady cross stitcher channel. I hope you will enjoy the new format . It will take the pressure off regular uploading which can be hard while I'm working 😘
I cant wait to start this!! But i need help to the kind of thread to use. I have been trying to find yarn that uses 2.75mm knitting needles. Help. I just saw that you wrote craft house magic yarn. I dont know where you would buy that. Can i use baby yarn?? If not where can i buy craft house yarn from??
It's by Craft house magic called Sweet memories. I talk about the details in my latest knitting videos. Take a look you will see it from Skien to cowl x
Hi, yes thank you I am fine. We have been away in Spain. I'm going to London tomorrow for a knitting and stitching show so look out for a video on Thursday . I hope you are well, thank you for thinking of me. Take care x
Hi Tina. Just wondering what needles do you use for your knitting of normal straight knitting. i.e Jumpers. Do you use interchangeable needles? If so which brand? I have seen the Knit Pro ones which I like. Can you use interchangeable needles for general knitting or are they just for circular items. I am old school and knit with normal straight needles or a circular or dpn needles. I wanted to upgrade my knitting needles to interchangeable ones as they come in nicer colours and have nice pointed tips. My needles are 48 years old so need upgrading really.
Hi Tracy, sorry I'm the wrong person to ask . I was sent some interchangeable to try but I prefer fixed . I try not to have lots of projects on the go at the same time and I don't find I need them . I buy what I need when I need it . A lot of people say they have never used half of there set . I would recommend thinking of what you use before buying to make sure they are the size and lengths that are right for you . You can use circulars for anything . I hope this helps x
@@Simplyinstitches Thank you Tina. I think I will stick with my traditional needles then. I have a whole set of Aero needles in a zipped case. I think I will save myself some money too like you. Thanks for your help. 😃
Thank you for thinking of me. I'm in Spain on holiday . I'm planning on making some tutorials when I return. I'm very much a one project person at the moment so not very interesting for chatty videos. I hope you are well and enjoying your crafts. Take care x
Tina can I ask about the needle size. When you say 12-16 inch is that the length of the needle from tip to tip or just the cord length. I use a 9” fixed circular for my socks and i’m wondering if a needle just 3” bigger can hold 153 stitches? Sorry if I sound like a simpleton but just want to clarify 😊. Also can you recommend the best needles thank you so very much xx

I really love the pairing of the yarn you chose and this stitch. It looks so sweet and delicate and cheery!
It's a lovely stitch! I've made soo many blankets using that stitch. Love the ripple effect.

What colour and type of wool did you use?
It's 4ply/fingering hand dyed merino by Craft house magic . Sorry I can't remember the name . It should be listed under the video 😁
So on the lace pattern are you suppose to purl one row in-between each lace row I'm confused can some one help me?
