Vlogtime: What Do I Knit Next?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- I have a happy dilemma: a stash full of beautiful yarns screaming KNIT ME KNIT ME and I can't decide which to pick for my next big project. The front runners are three very special yarns made by small producers that I love. What do you think?

Ok, who else would listen to Franklin chat on about knitting and such for 3+ hours? I know I would.
Oh, likewise! These videos are so soothing - not in a soporific way, but in that way that feels like you're in knitting group with your favorite people, and you're feeling kind of quiet but that's okay, because the person with all the good stories has the floor, and you know you're just where you need to be.
And frankly, I don't think many of us are getting that feeling much lately, so it's awfully nice when it comes around!
I definitely would..I like to watch Franklin's videos just before bed, something about him is so soothing and helps me calm down from a day of anxiety 💙💜
Count me in! I have made him part of my virtual knitting circle.
I Love long format shows 😍
@@maeveenroute Oh gods yes!!! I'm not even sure if there's knitting groups in my area, and I hate the fact that my anxiety would probably flare up just badly enough to make me not go. Watching Franklin is like meeting with old friends and catching up with them over knitting and good beverages.
"Things rotting on the forest floor" DYING. Franklin, thank you so much for being you.
I think you'd be really surprised what they do with the Jacob wool. Usually it's thrown away. Ask! What's the worst they can say? Someone else gets it? Then go meet and kibitz with that person -- what fun.
The way you speak english is amazing.I am not a native english speaker,sometimes İ can’t understand the other vloggers some sentences,But I understand every word of you.İt is a pleasure to listen to you.
The colors of things rotting on the forest floor!!!! YES! Thank you. I will forever use that to describe those colors now!! I love bright bold colors but it’s not en trend to wear them My mother in law asked me once if I was ever going to grow up because my color choices are always so “obnoxious “LOL. Oh well
Also. Please talk and ramble on and on. I truly enjoy listening to you while I knit or work on my other craft projects
That Jacob sheep!!!!!!
Yellow waistcoat with cables and a watch pocket! Intarsia of a watch on the pocket. Green socks are wonderful..bitter green is my fave
I have no one else who would chat away about knitting - even if I did I would still enjoy listening to you and considering some of the situations you describe - just as much as I do now. Thank you Franklin.
Waffling on starting a new project....I call it “analysis paralysis” when it hits.
Hello Franklin - I am so glad I found you here. I followed your blog for ages :)
The idea of a textured bright yellow vest fills me with glee
I don't mind podcasts between 1 and 2 hours. I like to knit or cut fabric while I watch.
Am not surprised about your subscription numbers. Your voice is so lovely - and your podcast is not too long or formulaic. Thank you.
Franklin my existential wish is to be in your local knitting group. We would meet for coffee and knit a natter away while muggles (non-knitters) would walk by and wish they were in our group. I am however gratefully sated and grateful by your lovely podcast and am very happy you've taken up the activity!
I found a very bright neon yellow skein of sock yarn a few years back. I made myself the loudest pair of socks ever. I'd tell people they could see/hear me from a mile away when I wear them. Then one day my hubby thought he'd be nice and do my laundry including the pair of socks on the floor next to the hamper. They felted down to a size even too small for my youngest daughter to wear. I miss my loud socks!
Thank you for being exactly who you are. Also, go for the Jacob sheep wool! A shepardess friend in Maine gifted me some from her rescue sheep. It is a delight to knit with and wear.
I don’t knit, but I love watching!
I am so thrilled to have met you, I live on the south side of Chicago.
Franklin you make me smile. I could listen to you speaking til the cows come home. I cannot wait to see the progress of the planned sweater.
I just love you dog. She is such a sweetie.
Happy knitting.lol jacqui UK x
My goodness, you are incredible, the way you describe everything regarding to knitting. I just love it. 🤗God bless you.🙏
Oh my goodness! You've got me laughing, agreeing, wondering, questioning, learning. Too many comments to even leave. Love it love it.
I know exactly what you mean about stressing over what to chose for the next project. Its so nice to know there are others like me out there. Im really enjoying your vlog!
I would. I learn, I laugh , really I enjoy my self. Wow 🤗
Oh, have you seen the film, Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, with Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman? . . . not certain if the noisy yellow socks make an appearance . . .
The movie makes me feel like I am actually reading the books.
Wow, that's ironic, two of the most happily married people in the world in a movie about two of the most unhappily married people in the world.
Thank you for making this Vlog! It is so fun to knit along with you as you talk about the topic at hand and as you knit as well!
Oh Franklin, since I watch your videos while I am knitting my own projects, I would love a 3 hour video. I would get so much done. You and 2 others you tubers are my knitting buddies. But I think that you are my favorite to knit with as your voice is so calm . Yellow is not one of "my" colors, but I can't wait to see what you make, if that's the direction you go.
The cable in Roz's new sweater would look great on a drop shoulder sweater!
I enjoy the way you express yourself.
A cardigan , easy for on & off as needed.
pantone has two colors for 2021 gray and yellow. the yellow is called illumination. it's a sign 💛🧶💛🧶
I love your vlogs, I enjoy listening to your ideas, seeing the gorgeous yarn, your color palette, all delightful ❤️
I do love bright colours. Yellow is my favourite too. PS - a sleeveless sweater is called a Tank Top in my part of the world :)
You can chat for 3+ hours and I will gladly listen. I am just now catching up because of a lot of unplanned life events happening very quickly. I have followed your for years on your blog, on facebook and love getting to see your face as you are talking. Thank you!
In the Netherlands is a vest a cardigan and a sleevless swaeter called a slipover.
I find that if I have lots of deadline projects, I'm very efficient and fly through it all. But if all the samples and work items are finished, I have no idea what to cast on next. It's like too much freedom and I can't choose anything. And I'm spoiled for choice as well. Good luck in deciding what's next!
hey Franklin, I smiled when you talked about the people that raise the sheep and spin the wool and dye the yarn and knit the sweater, I know ones like that, some of my best friends! I'm working on combing some gorgeous shetland that I dyed up, goldenrod/marigold/calendula color and hoping I still want a yellow sweater by the time it's combed/carded and spun lol could be years!
A yellow vest sounds fabulous. I could quite happily watch a 3 hour video. Congratulations on 5, 000 subscribers.
I have followed you on IG for a couple years, and am over the moon happy I discovered your channel!!
Thank you for a wonderful visit! Stop by again soon.
I love listening to your musings.
I watched all your vlogs today and realized you talk to the camera as though you are talking to a dear friend on the phone. And I ABSOLUTELY love that. Can't wait to see the next vlog.
Great to see you on RUclips Franklin. Funny, informative content.
Love Block Island! We usually visit every year for a few days.
Now I really want a pair of lime green socks...
You're very inspiring to listen to!
I also love Triskelion yarns. They are sooo beautiful to knit, wear and look at.
The light(ing) was very antique :-) When you said textured I had to think about a friend of mine who did a lot of unknitting because the pattern was so simple, just 4 needles, 2 knit needles and 2 needles with 2x2 rib. At the picture I saw it looked just like cables, but it isn't. Maybe you can swatch that in misfit yellow and think yay or nay. See Ya next time.
Love these so much. Feel like were knitting and having a conversation. 💖
North light vest!
I was a reader of your blog and I really enjoyed it so I'm happy to have rediscovered you in vlog form! another vote for the yelloe vest, this year needs to end with some brightness :)
Having just about finished with my S.A.B.L.E. reorg, I'm having the same issue. I found lots of yarn that I want to make 'something for me' but can't decide which yarn or what I want to make. I love lace but I need another shawl, shawlette or lace scarf like I need another hole in my head! In addition to the yarn hunt, I also found most of my UFO's and have been whittling them down to a reasonable & doable list. My ears perked when you mentioned Northern Lights. Husband & I went to Block Island a few years ago and he actually made me buy yarn! We also got a tour of the mill thrown it!
Thank you for another great episode. I'm excited to see what your garment looks like :) The fashion show was great!!
Me too. He’s so funny.
It sounds as if you’re quite enamored with that yellow! I can’t wait to see it as a WIP.
Definitely have the same "what next" issue. I could finish a small project in the time it takes!
This is my first time watching you and I have to say, I really like you. I like how you speak (not talking down to anyone) and how grateful you are about the yarn you have. Some people have what I call “fancy yarn” (fancy yarn just means it’s yarn I can’t afford lol) and they sorta act like everyone should be able to afford it. I didn’t get that feeling from you at all so thank you for that. I adore all things yellow. It’s a happy color and I think a yellow vest would look wonderfully! You do seem studious and I love that because that’s how I feel.
Anyway I won’t yammer on. I’m going to subscribe because I think you’re lovely.
See you in the next one 💛😉
I for one would like to see matching daddy and daughter cable sweaters...
Loving these!
HAHA I needed that! Very funny!
I’m going to have to subscribe now because I am curious to find out what you are going to knit next but also to watch some older vlogs. Many greetings from Skiathos, Greece
You are amazing😉
I think either sweater vest would be amazing. The yellow yarn is so beautiful, it makes me sad that I look awful in yellow. I'm looking forward to see which idea you choose as a wip 😊
I call a sleeveless sweater a slipcover 🤓
I would listen to you as long as you wanted to talk!!!!
I'm always tickled to see a waistcoat. My dad was a big fan of vests as a garment that kept you warm but left your arms free for work, and then of course for layering in very cold weather
Congratulations of 5K subscribers. Word is getting out. I love my yarn from North Light Fibers, but have not found the perfect thing for it. Someday I will make a sweater from Bare wools--one of my life's goals. I find I am making less, but more garments that I truly love and will be a part of me for a long time.
This podcast is wonderful. You’re enjoyable t watch and listen to you. I’ve learned several things from you. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Another amazing video Franklin thank you so much!! Your very welcome im so glad I can be apart of your channel as a subscriber 💜
Love your vlogs!
Oh goodness. I just noticed your scissors holder and it is AWESOME, would you mind sharing where it's from?! I would totally buy one of those. More than one. XD
Surprised and delighted to find your channel! The last time I heard your voice was at a reading of your book that you did at the sadly no longer open IKnit London quite some years ago. I vote for the yellow tank top as we British children of the 1970s would say. Perhaps also some yellow socks as they are a Reason to be Cheerful according to Ian Dury....
I love vests and waistcoats and I expect yours will be inspiring!
Oh I do hope this will be a regular thing you do. I've been really enjoying your vlog.
Ohhhh, perfect yellows are *so* rare; I would absolutely love to see the Triskelion grow up to be the garment it was born to be (though of course there's no wrong choice among these)!
Triskelion yeah. My local. I'd vote for the yellow pullover - or tank top. Yup another synonym for your dictionary.
Here for the side bar yarn porn. You could be like Dana (callmedwj) and knit matching human and pooch sweaters.
Molly : )
1. Triskelion; 2. North Light; 3. Bare Naked Wools. Myself, I need to check out Triskelion. The other two choices are already seductively calling from my own stash.
Franklin I could listen to your chatter all day long. So relaxing.
One question will you explain 'linen stitch ' please.
Keep safe.
Lol Jacqui Seahouses UK x
Linen stitch is a knitting stitch that incorporates slipped stitches and looks a bit like a woven fabric! (There are lots of tutorials around, but here's one of them: www.craftsy.com/post/how-to-knit-the-linen-stitch/#)
In The Netherlands we call a sleeveless sweater or vest a "Spencer".
I feel that way about spinning fiber...should I spin the cormo, the silk, the yak, the merino, the ..., the ... .
People who insist a given garment is called [whatever] are simply knit-picking. :)
I like what you're actually saying and I'm cracking up at the captions, which are not what you're saying. You got yarn from "bare naked wolves" and so on.
That room you're in has a whole bunch of great things to look at, but I'm also curious about the constant background noise. Do you live above a restaurant? I read Mr. and Mrs. Bridge about five years ago and found them very dark and disturbing, but I'm generally appalled at the way many people treat each other anyway, so there's that.
I'm so happy to find your channel here. I had come across your piece on your first-ever trip to a yarn shop and then read your book reviews at MDK but didn't know you were doing video. Really enjoyed Rosamund's runway strut, in which she completely pulled off the attitude of an actual model (never smile, and look at everyone with eyes that say they will never be as cool as you). Fabulous.
At the moment, the only place I can record is in my workroom-which is in a building with a lot of people and terribly thin walls...
@@franklinhabit I don't mind the background noise. It's almost like we're all sitting in a cafe knitting together.
It's serial knitter, not serious knitter ;)
Analysis Paralysis... it is an awful waste of time that can be spent actually making a garment!
