Hey everyone, thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video and got some tips/inspiration for your future projects! I made a mistake in the video, the designer's name for two patterns I've mentioned (Hoodie Doo, and Kruglik) is actually Olena Sitalkina, not Svetlana.
I didn't knew you had a channel as well! Such a nice discovery, I really loved this video. You show so many designers and yarns I had never heard about, it's so refreshing ✨️ I can't wait to see you progress through your plans during this season! (And as a fellow videast, I have to mention that your lighting is excellent and I really appreciate how true to life the colors and textures of the yarns are!)
Thank you, Maya! It's so nice to know that my video could bring you some value 🤎I am loving your videos as well, especially watching your creative designs progress! Regarding the lighting, thank you very much! I had to spend some time finding the right spot, and luckily the colors can show up quite true 🤞
I’m in the middle of the Chantal sweater and can’t recommend it enough! The construction and details are so beautiful and I don’t find it takes any longer than regular stockinette. Can’t wait to see your version :)
wow this is such an inspiring message! to be honest, just today I was about to buy yarn for Chantal, but decided to do it in October. Do you know with recommended yarn or did you choose another fiber?
I used a fingering weight wool and a suri lace. I went down a needle size to get gauge. Could be bc of me or the yarn weight, but the fabric feels really nice and airy with that combo
@@InnaMoreva Would like to know your plans for autumn/winter season as well and of course what what you include from designs I’ve mentioned 🤍 waiting for you here in Tenerife ☕️🥰
I'm so glad you popped up on my feed! The hoodie looks amazing, and I love how you talk about construction. My great-grandma was a semester, and she would always tell me how important fit is. It’s because of her I became drawn to knitting and creating clothes. Thank you for the recommendations. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
Thank you very much for your kind words! I am about to cast on the hoodie, so excited to try new techniques! That is wonderful, because my grandma was a sewer for 40 years of her life and she was knitting as well. 2 years ago, after she died, I started knitting and I just wish she could see my projects. Enjoy your knitting as well 🤎
Thank you for such a great video! Hello from 🇨🇦 I love your choices of patterns and yarns, it is really nice to see some new to me designers and yarns. I am off to check them out now 😊 I totally agree about being influenced by the project pages, I too change my mind based on them. I will be visiting Lanzarote and Gran Canaria this coming February for biking and hiking, do you know of any yarn shops on these islands 🤞🏻 Have a great day!
Ah so true regarding knitting plans! I stick to mine right now, but very tempted for another ones as well :) Oh wow such a long way you will make to Canarian Islands! I am a hiker as well and love biking so much! I hope you have a great time here. Regarding the yarn shops, I dont know any on those islands, but if you ever visit Tenerife, I recommend hand-diy!
Thank you! In this case, you might wanna watch my podcast 03, where I spoke a lot about mohairs and where I discovered one of the softest 😍 ruclips.net/video/6BjpBy4uHtI/видео.html
@@nikitinaknits amazing thanks. actually i was already halfway throuh that episode, just havent gotten to that part yet. :) i checked it out now that u
Lovely to see a brand new to me designer in this list. I’ve never come across Sitalkina but I see what you mean about her details. Will need to add some to my list. Beautiful plans!
I finally found the time to watch your fall knitting plans. This is quite an extensive list! 🙂 Just wanted to mention that, since you said that you are sensitive towards more rustic yarns, unspun yarns might not be a good option for you. They definitely fall under the rustic category, even Nutiden.
Yes the list is quite loaded, but I think three projects I have mentioned (that I dont have the yarn for yet) will move to the next year. Maybe an unspun could be an option for an unbottoned cardigan, which has to be worn with something else under :)
Hi, Your videos are excellent, full of information and ideas, very inspiring! I prefer to work from 500g cones of yarn too, so can I ask you how you knit double with the yarn if you only have one cone?
thank you very much 🤎 You will need to use yarn winder, and wind up separate balls. The amount of balls should be equivalent to the amount of strands you will be knitting with. You will need scales as well. So lets say your cone is 500 g and you want to knit with 4 strands. 500 grams divided by 4 will give 125 grams. So you start winding yarn and create 4 different balls of 125 grams. Now its ready to be knitted with 4 strands :) In your case, since you need 2 strands of yarn, you only wind another ball of 250 grams and you are ready to knit :) I hope it made sense! There are some tricks on how to knit with 2-3 strands from one cone, but I dont like it personally. It can become madness, and its not comfortable as for me.
Вітаю, Євгеніє! Мені приємно, що ви звернули увагу на мої вироби. Сподіваюся, що процес в'язання принесе вам задоволення, а речі, зв'язані за описами худі Ду та джемпер Круглик, будуть комфортно носитися тривалий час. Залюбки буду слідкувати за вашим влогом. Ви дуже харизматична дівчина, відео легкі та захоплюючі, за вами хочеться спостерігати. Бажаю успіхів! З повагою, Олена Сіталкіна.
Олено, дуже дякую за такий теплий надихаючий коментар! Я дуже люблю Ваші дизайни, та знаю їх по пам'яті, але весь цей час була впевнена, що Вас звати Світлана, вибачайте. Виправлю в наступному відео! Дякую за такі чудові описи та всю корисну інформацію на ютуб. Це дуже цінно!
My next project is the Solene Cardi which I purchased the wool right after seeing your video 😊 and I’m eyeing the Braided Loop Sweater for a future project.
Love your videos and your voice, thank you for another episode. Beautiful selection of yarns and it was nice to discover a such smart ukrainian knitwear designer!
Would you mind speaking more about yarn on cone? How do you find it and how do you know what to pay attention to? (E.g. which yarn will bloom when washed and which will not) I would love to learn more!
@@imperfected6513 Sure! I would suggest buying very known yarns when starting with yarn on cone, to avoid surprises. For example, Loro Piana Coarsehair or Loro Piana Coarsehair New Tweed is known for its bloom, and you can work it either with one or two strands. You can look up this yarn on Etsy, or contact me in Instagram I ll send you the shop in Ukraine, they can also ship worldwide. Another shop I know but never purchased is from Germany, it’s called Woolright. There are some other yarns that are popular and have good reputations, but you ll need to work with more strands together (4-8 strands): Tollegno Harmony (100% merino), Zegna Baruffa Cashwool (100% merino), Cariaggi 2/28 100% Cashmere 1500 m/100 g, LaneCardate Canberra (100 % merino) can be worked with 2-3 strands.
I am intrigued by the Kruglik jumper and intend to buy the pattern. I really liked your RUclips presentation and look forward to seeing your lovely projects in the future. Cynthia in Uk
Hi Cynthia, thank you very much for such kind words! If you do knit Kruglik jumper, please let me know how was the experience with an Englsih pattern :)
@@nikitinaknits I will let you perhaps when I have read the pattern. I think Svetlana would sell more patterns if she was on Ravelry. The pattern looks to be complex with good fitting prospect… which suits me and does not make me hesitant. I have just ordered the pattern and it should arrive shortly.
Hi Nikita, thanks for sharing your knitting plans, I love the projects. I also love the brushed lace cashmere cone from cariaggi, where did you buy this????? I was looking for something like that, but didn´t find anything......
Hello :) Thank you for watching! My favorite shop is in Ukraine, they only have an instagram page , and they ship worldwide. Maybe you can write them a message and they should help you choose the yarn: instagram.com/wool_expert/?hl=en Another option is to just seek these yarns on Etsy, but i imagine there is less chances someone will actually speak to you and help choose the yarns. Another shop on Etsy, but way more expensive than from Ukraine: www.etsy.com/es/shop/YARNITALY?ref=l2-about-shopname&from_page=listing And just if you google "Italian yarn on cone" , you should find quite a few big shops online. However, if you want it the cheapest possible, Ukraine is the best. I hope it helps!
@@yassim74 hello! Thank you, I buy all my Italian yarns from Ukraine, and they ship worldwide. My fav shop is wool_expert instagram.com/wool_expert?igsh=MW9pMXdiaXN0Nnk4NA== , her name is Anna, write her a DM with the request for what yarn do you want and she will help you
Just watched this first video from your channel and immediately subscribed! I love your style and reserved, elegant asthetics; plus the sense for high quality and self-control. You remind me of Audrey Coyne (also here on You Tube). Moreca Knit is getting more popular and I love that Polish designer gettinng wide recognition - yet to purchase her patterns, but already my queue is miles long :) I would love to see a video of popular Ukrainian designers if this is something you can do? I see you on IG :)
Thank you very much for such kind and inspiring comment, it warms my heart. Will check out Audrey Coyne! About morecaknit, I agree and truly think she deserves the attention and popularity, considering the amount of work she invests into her patterns, so more to knit from her! Regarding Ukrainian designers, that would be an amazing video! I just need to do a lot of research to find designers who sell their patterns in English. Thanks for the idea :)

I suspect the twisting on raglan sleeves is caused by a person with more square shoulders wearing it. Maybe try adding a few short rows starting 3 to 6 rows before your natural edge of your shoulders (depending on the squareness of your shoulders and thickness of your wool) and add in your short rows, stopping at the natural edge of your shoulder so you will now be following the pattern. I assume you will have to alter the stitch count at this point though. I haven't tried this, since I have sloping shoulders and don't have this twisting problem. But it is worth a try.
Thats interesting! I've heard from a few designers that the raglan ideally has to have some short rows along the shoulder edge, but I have not dived into any research about it yet. Will read some info and of course its exciting to try out, thanks!
Just fyi, the Chantal sweater is just one strand of wild and soft held with mohair. Just letting you know because that was holding you back from starting it thinking it was 2 strands of wild and soft. The pattern is kinda confusing the way she writes the yarn combo.
Oh thank you very much! I just went to her ravelry again, and yes its a bit confusing, because it says: worked with two strands held together wild and soft + held together silk mohair. I checked a few ongoing ravelry projects and yes, they hold only one strand of fingering. That changes the game! Your comment held me from making a mistake :)
