    If anyone does decide to use their sewing machine for the zipper, please use your walking foot as you would for quilting as it actually does WALK over the bulky knitting stitches and makes for a much smoother join. and stitching line.

    Wow Amy I know you say you’re a winter but the rust sweater you’re wearing is absolutely beautiful on you and looks so harmonious w your colors! I think it’s very possible you’d be a deep autumn!

    Such a beautiful sweater!

    The Whitmoor looks so much better! Kudos to you for starting over. Also, I'm sure the "stripey" effect is being intensified by the kinky yarn right next to the newer yarn. I have a feeling that once the FO hits the water, it will just look beautifully tonal and wonderful.

    Knitting for olive looks like a book that one wants to knit every single thing in it!! Thank you for your making your videos ! I am so enjoying watching you while I am knitting !

    The knitovation book looks so great! Your whitmoor Cardi is beautiful ❤I think it was so smart to add the short rows, cardigans can sit funny at times, so I’ll have to try that on my next cardigan.

  • @wendykelcey1246
    @wendykelcey1246 Год назад

    Awesome giveaways!! I would love to incorporate many of the motifs and patterns from the” knitovation” dictionary book. Wow!! So many awesome ones that I caught a glimpse of!😊 and seeing you flip through the “Knitting for Olive “ book, there were MANY patterns that caught my eye! Wahoo!!

  • @LowKiKnits

    I love having a beanie on the needles in place of socks! The weekend hat looks amazing in the pink yarn. I would definitely knit a cozy sweater or cardigan from the knitting for olive book!

  • @lestricotsderosalie
    @lestricotsderosalie Год назад

    The Knitting for Olive book looks AMAZING, I would want to knit it all!! The Darling Wrap would probably be the first one I would cast on! Love to see your Lana Vest in red, it makes me want to knit it again, such a fun pattern!!

  • @donnaradmanovich179
    @donnaradmanovich179 Год назад

    I love the idea of incorporating one of the motifs in hat.

  • @anoushanderson2789
    @anoushanderson2789 Год назад

    Welcome back! :-) I think you're right--a hat with a motif from the Knitovation book would be a great custom project!

  • @carolwebster2294
    @carolwebster2294 Год назад

    Your Whitmoor cardigan is coming along so beautifully. Both those books looks wonderful. I agree the Barbroe Blouse is stunning. I am not a fast knitter but I would love to make one.

  • @ambriahamilton-lx8ji
    @ambriahamilton-lx8ji Год назад

    I would definitely knit the yoke sweater in KnitOvation with either a dragon or dinosaur motif. Although the flying pigs are awfully cute too!

  • @melissaclay8335
    @melissaclay8335 Год назад

    I would knit just about everything in the knitting For Olive book. I especially love the the Darling Wrap. Thanks for sharing all your yarn acquisitions. It gives me great ideas.

  • @lgassin

    Welcome home :). I love most Knitting for Olive patterns and would be happy to integrate fun, modern colorwork into hats for nieces and nephews!

  • @addiekl
    @addiekl Год назад

    You brought home some beautiful yarns from Europe! I am more of a one-project-at-a-time person but I see the appeal of casting on new things. I haven't knitted any Knitting for Olive projects yet but I see the appeal of the designs, the Waffle Sweater looks beautiful. I also really like the Nature walk(?) sweater on the cover. Thanks for the giveaway.

  • @joannemoseley8994
    @joannemoseley8994 Год назад

    I would knit a hat & mitt set with the stitch dictionary…I think it would be perfect for gifts. From knitting for olive I’d knit a sweater for myself! ❤

  • @nsgfbaerougbakjnbkjabgjl
    @nsgfbaerougbakjnbkjabgjl Год назад +6

    I myself am knitting a zipper sweater at the moment so I am very happy to hear that the installation went well!

  • @alinam8854
    @alinam8854 Год назад

    Nice to see you again, Amy! Love your new acquisitions. I think that sweater with cables will look very nice in that tonal yarn, the tonality is so subtle, it might actually help with the definition. Make the sample, try it out! Also love the color of the sweater you’re wearing, it fits you so well!
    As for the book giveaway question, I’d love to knit the pattern you showed from the Knitting for Olive book. If I was doing color work, I’d love some psychedelic waves in two tone or maybe white snowflakes on light blue socks or mittens (seems like a cute Christmas gift option).

  • @barbararoberts9315
    @barbararoberts9315 Год назад

    The all-over lace blouse in the Knitting for Olive book is stunning and I think it would be a beautiful knit to try. I loved this podcast!

    Home sweet home as they say … nice to be away but always great to be back home !!!
    Your rust sweater, charcoal zip are so beautiful on you

    @beechlvr7192 Год назад

    I love your zipper sweater and also your Whitmoor cardigan. I really appreciate how you give details about your projects and how you sewed in your zipper etc. I might have to give it a try. I know my husband would love one but then I think I would also. The Knitovation book would come in super handy for knitting gifts for my grandkids...🙂

  • @Kloulock
    @Kloulock Год назад

    Hey Amy!🤗 I love your zipper sweater! All of your knits are beautiful! I appreciate you sharing the Knitovation and Knitting for Olive books. I would make a colorwork hat and definitely the Barbroe blouse. Thank you for taking the time to share these inspiring videos. Until next time, take care!👋

  • @nadiacharest798

    Love knitting for Olive patterns I am hoping that the Olive Cardigan is amongst the collection. Thank you for sharing all the scrumptious yarn you bought in Oslo.

  • @crafting-with-care
    @crafting-with-care Год назад

    Thanks for sharing all the yarn you got while overseas! It's definitely more pricy to get it here, but love to see what it's like in person and your thoughts on each of them. Thanks for going through the two books too! I can see the stitch dictionary being useful for small things like coasters too if one just wants to give a design a go, but not have a giant commitment piece/wip. I didn't know Knitting for Olive was being released in English too...all the cozy sweaters!! Thanks for sharing your journey with the zipper sweater. I've never ventured to adding zippers, but your feedback is really valuable and appreciated.

  • @cassiestrawbridge7581
    @cassiestrawbridge7581 Год назад

    Welcome back home Amy. I would love to knit the Barbroe Blouse and would probably spend hours looking through the Knitovation book. I have to say your zipper sweater looks fantastic on you.

  • @thatcrochetchick369
    @thatcrochetchick369 Год назад

    I love that glacier colored yarn so much! The shine underneath the wooly fuzz really makes it ethereal! Also super excited for all the pink knits coming up!
    If I got the KFO book, I would find a yarn similar to the Gerard Wild & Soft to make the Barbroe Blouse. The color work book would be a treasure trove for sock gift knits I am planning in the upcoming year.

  • @momurphy4787
    @momurphy4787 Год назад

    Can't stop staring at your Oslo sweater. It's so pretty. Fun books. Think I would try a color work zipper pouch.

  • @judithmullin390
    @judithmullin390 Год назад

    Thank you, another inspiring and practical podcast. And, thank you also to Penguin press for offering two great knitting books for giveaways. I love them both books but since I am a newbie to color work the Knitovation will help me the most. ❤

  • @My_slow_story
    @My_slow_story Год назад

    Knitting for Olive book would be a great learning journal and guide. From simpler accessories to more complex lace patterns. It's a win for me!

    • @lyndseywilliams3618
      @lyndseywilliams3618 Год назад

      There are a few sweater patterns that would probably make a good first sweater as well.

  • @rkast95

  • @Saryou18

    The wrap sweater from knitting from olive book, or any(all!) of the whimsical colourwork patterns from the Knitovation book.. so fun!!!

  • @hannabuzova6701
    @hannabuzova6701 Год назад

    I would definitely use color work charts for socks or mittens. Some smaller projects that are not too much commitment, but let you practice and use many different charts at once 🙂

  • @epiknitiologist8005
    @epiknitiologist8005 Год назад

    I would knit so many of those KFO patterns. They're all so pretty.

  • @julibjoya7944
    @julibjoya7944 Год назад

    From knitting for olive, I'd probably start with the puff tee. For the knitovation, I think a Christmas sweater or blanket would be fun.

  • @connietopor4629
    @connietopor4629 Год назад

    Love all your yarn choices, they are all beautiful. The Knitting for olive book looks like it has several patterns that I would love to knit up.

  • @anitafernandes2787
    @anitafernandes2787 Год назад

    Both the KnitOvation stick dictionary and the Knitting for Olive knitting book will make amazing add-ons to anyone's crafty library. I'd like to make the Barbrow blouse. Your finished zipper sweater and knitted Oslo pullover from Petite knit look great.

  • @Maria.cc.1212
    @Maria.cc.1212 Год назад

    All of those patterns look so cute and would be great to knit! Personally, I see myself knitting the vest (Olive's Vest), and the Barbroe Blouse. If yarn permits, then I would also knit the Darling Wrap. Honestly, I could probably find a reason to knit it all! Lol!
    Great video! Really exciting to see all of the yarn acquisitions!

  • @this_skipper_knits959
    @this_skipper_knits959 Год назад

  • @melissafriedrich3171
    @melissafriedrich3171 Год назад

    Love your black pullover, great job on the zipper. Your Whitmore cardi is looking awesome and your yarny finds are all the color combos I really love too. I would love to knit some color work around the cuffs of socks and also some hats and mitts. The Puffy t shirt in the knitting for Olive book would be the first one I tried. I think your contrast/compare for beanie hat patterns idea is awesome too.

  • @KathleenZeff

    @aneilaknits Год назад

    Ohh, what beautiful books! I would love to knit the Barbroe blouse and the darling wrap in the Knitting for Olive book. Knitovation also looks like a fun book to play around with patterns and get creative with socks! Also, I would love a beanie comparison video!! I get so overwhelmed by all the beanie patterns out there that it’s hard to even decide which one I like best. Thank you for another lovely video!

    I always get excited when I see you posted a new video! The Knitting Loft in Toronto carries Wild and Soft and two other yarns form Gepard. They ship to the US and its free over CAD 200. They have a large selection of amazing yarns (including Knitting for Olive) so its not hard to find enough to get free shipping 😁
    I would probably knit at least half the patterns in the Knitting for Olive book!

  • @suejensen5961
    @suejensen5961 Год назад

    This year for me was a year to learn more about garment construction and yarn fiber content. Your videos have been a part of that. In 2024 I’m planning to learn color work and would love to design my own hat and sweater patterns using some of the Knitovation designs.

  • @frontpaigefibers

    I was already eyeing that beautiful burgundy on your nails just before you pointed out it matched your yarn. I laughed when you said it may or may not have been intentional 😄. I love so many of the Knitting for Olive patterns but I most want to knit the waffle sweater.

    @sierranorford6286 Год назад

    Also been feeling the beanie energy in place of my sock knitting recently! Excited to hear your thoughts on all the different beanies you've made/plan to make. I would love to try some of KFO's textured sweaters! Their lace motifs are always so beautiful.

  • @enidwiese4449
    @enidwiese4449 Год назад

    Your zipper sweater came out great! I’m always inspired by your projects,especially since we are similar in size and color choices!

  • @DianaL647
    @DianaL647 Год назад

    I'm sure I would knit half the patterns in the Knitting For Olive book. I have used their yarn for a couple of garments but never knitted one of their patterns. Maybe start with the Darling wrap, I don't know.
    In the Stitch Dictionary book I'm sure I would do something with the black and white graphic I saw as you were flipping through, for sure a yoke and probably some socks and mittens.
    I love watching your podcasts an dm always inspired with how you think things through and decisions you make. And I lived vicariously through you yarn shop visits ... one day!!!

  • @juliebeannzz
    @juliebeannzz Год назад

    Oh man! I've been eyeing up that knitting for olive book myself. Dreaming of making that wrap cardigan in a lovely dusty grey/ purple.

    I love Red Stag fibre! Josh is always nice to talk to when we see him at our local fiber fest.

I think it’s beautiful and timeless. 😍

    Hi 👋🏼 your zipper sweater looks so amazing! I love the color. This is the second time I’ve seen someone talk about the that same color work book. I’m very intrigued…because coffee!! I’d definitely love trying to add some little coffee cups on to sock , mitts or scarfs. Maybe even a hat. 😊
