I had to laugh a little. I started watching a lot of minimalist and capsule wardrobe channels/videos a couple years back with the intention of owning less stuff and a lot less clothes. A few of the creators where sewing and knitting their capsule wardrobe pieces. That made me rediscover knitting. I needed the perfect brown hat for my future capsule wardrobe so I knit it. 18 month later I am OBSESSED with knitting and I am drowning in gorgeous yarn and beautiful hand knit pieces...🤣 I mostly knit classic, timeless garments that would fit wonderful in many capsule wardrobes. I just have a few too many 😁
For me clothing is all about the making process. I love the idea of having some long lasting basics but... I don't love to make basics. For me a capsule wardrobe would be more like creating pieces that go really well together in different combinations. But I think the idea is that a capsule wardrobe consists of only a very limited amount of items, so that wouldn't be a match with the vast amount of knitting and sewing I do. I just LOVE to make garments and there's nothing minimalistic about that, hehe. Anyway... your suggestions are still great patterns, thanks for sharing!
I think the concept of a capsule wardrobe is unique to the individual. There are so many considerations. Are you working in a job that requires"professional" attire, do you have young children, are you an outdoor active person. Being retired with good sized property with flower and veg gardens, as well as 2 great-nephews who love to come have adventurers with me, my knit wardrobe needs are much different than when I worked in an office. Thankfully I know which styles suit me and make me comfortable. I admire a lot of the beautiful patterns out there but have learned to only knit the things that suit my life and that I will wear.
Thank you for putting this together- very helpful and full of ideas.
I feel like I need a personal stylist. I have no idea what kind of wardrobe I want. I love how you have a color palette and an aesthetic.
I feel the same way!
You might like the Weekday Tee by Aimee Sher Makes that she just released. It has a vneck and just a little lace detail along the raglan seam. It is definitely one of those items I'd like in a few colors. Thanks for pulling all of these designs together. It's always so fun to see what people think of as timeless knit pieces. I also have the DRK everyday sweater on my to knit list. I knit a Ginny cardigan a few years back and I wear it every week. It is one of those items I live in during the winter months.
Great list! I recently finished knitting up a Cumulus Blouse and I used Drops Air in the colour "wheat". It is absolutely a dream! It's such an amazing staple piece!
Loved your list! I had seen the DRK everyday sweater before but now I really got intrigued to casting on… 😊
Love the video!! I think the knitting contents has almost gotten a little fast fashiony, so it's nice to see content on capsule wardrobe! I am also testing the book club cardigan and I am loving it!! Can't wait to see yours
I loved this program. I getting back to sewing and these patterns options are wonderful.
Thanks for a great addition to your episodes, Kaci! I appreciate the work that went in to finding these patterns. While you were talking I also started thinking about color choices. Staples tend to be in basic colors but can be really fun if you are consistent with a color pop in your wardrobe.
Thank you for all of these suggrstions Kaci! Reminds me of my mother's words of wisdom when I was a teenager and wanting to buy new and cheap clothes- It's better to only have a few things that are high quality and classic, than a lot of cheaply made current style clothes.
I love everything about this episode. Making something beautiful, custom, functional and timeless, while being conscious of the impact fashion has had on the world... It's part of what drives me personally to have a small business (one day) somewhere in the overlap of the wool industry and slow fashion! 😍
What a great collection to add to a capsule wardrobe. Every time I listen to you talk about everything you sew it makes me want to sew my own clothes also. You inspire me 💗💕
Thanks Kaci! Have a wonderful springy week! xo
This was great. I'm going to go through my queue using your list and see what fits as well. Great topic!
Love this! The Ginny Cardigan is one of my most worn pieces. I even wear mine as a robe in the morning when I first get up to take my dogs out. It is so good.
What a beautiful collection of patterns!! Thank you for including Current Mood! ❤ I also love having a capsule wardrobe. I plan mine in such a way that everything can be worn with anything. Maybe that’s already the idea, but it’s so easy to just grab something that I don’t have to think to hard about. Thank you for creating this collection!
Lovely episode, Kaci. Your voice was just fine, but I hope that you're feeling better and stay healthy! 😊
I made the Closet Core Sienna Maker Jacket several years ago and it has been a staple in my wardrobe. I made it with a neutral color linen and it goes with everything. I love it! I plan to make another one with a different length . Thanks for sharing patterns ❤️
Making the cumulus blouse in a cotton/alpaca/merino fingering base in this marled navy blue colour, and I cannot wait to finish it. I plan on sewing up a Hinterland dress in a white linen to wear with my new blouse. My store bought items are slowly being swapped for my me-mades and i'm thrilled ❤ Thanks for this great video!
I loved your video and the idea of a capsule wardrobe! My tiny little comment would be only this: a person who sews is called a seamstress or seamster. Hope you don’t mind, and keep up the good work!
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
Great episode. I’m now dusting off my sewing machine to make a hinterland dress.
Yay!!
This episode is just so timely for me. I've been using the Stylebook app to organize my wardrobe in a capsule-y way, and recently I started a separate section of the "closet" in that app for knitting plans so I can try out pieces I want to knit with all of my other clothes before committing to knitting them. It lets me try out ideas collage-style to make sure the piece is actually going to be functional with my existing clothes.
👏💐Как будто волшебство какое-то! 🌌🌌
Absolutely LOVED this episode! Thanks so much for making it! ✨
What a wonderful podcast this time. Some of the patterns were familiar to me, but quite a few were not. I would like to add some of these to my summer wardrobe plans. Thanks for letting me think a little bit out of the box. Great job Kaci.
I just checked and most of the knits you listed are in my favourites, except for the cardigans. And I also have the sewing patterns you listed, except the Bob pants. I decided I liked the Barry pants slightly better, so I had that one instead. We must have very similar tastes in clothing. I guess I should get started on my capsule wardrobe.
This is an awesome video! All of the patterns mentioned round out to a perfect capsule 😊
Those are some really nice capsule wardrobe choices. For me, capsule wardrobe pieces are timeless pieces that can be in style during different decades and some of your pieces definitely fit into my definition. One of my ultimate favorite pieces are the Porter Cardigan designed by Beatrice Perron Dahlen and the Gentle Morning cardigan designed by Trin-Annelie (both of which I still need to knit).
Another helpful episode, thank you! Having used the KFO Pure Silk for a Bolan Tee, see Ravelry, I found it to be quite different than the usual slinky silk. The silkworm is actually allowed to chew it’s way out of the cocoon, resulting in some long fibres and some very short ones…a much toothier yarn compared to that glossy, smooth version were the wee worm meets its doom. My tee is the same size now as when I first blocked it. And three cheers for Silkworm Survival!
Super inspiring Kaci. I need to get back to sewing!
I love everything you shared. I have the Emanuel Tee in my faves. Now I need to add everything else. ❤
Loved the episode. I literally just finished my Spacetime sweater this week and have already worn it a couple of times. I can also highly recommend Heidi’s Perseids cardigan as a wardrobe classic. I made the longer version, but am going to make a short one too. Jen Parroccini also has some classics with lots of instructions for customizing your fit. The one I’ll list specifically here is the LBD Tee. It has both a V and crew neck option, and is perfect for those of us who need things we can wear in warmer weather. Keep those recommendations coming. 😊
Another very thoughtful and informative episode. Thank you,
For a fun quick cardigan check out Like a Waffle
love love this episode! and hugely appreciate the sewing section too!
PS: your voice sounded great, just like Phoebe´s congestion voice in friends (if you know, you know).
Ty K!😃👏🏼🧶… kind of a slouchy tee I like for transitional weather is Brin… I have it ready to start in a soft pink color 😃👏🏼🤞🏼 wish me luck🥰
i am no man by nicole larkin-york / common threadfibers wolud be a great staple in a capsule wardrobe i think. 😊
Thank you for an inspiring episode. I´ve made the Ginny cardigan and I wear it all the time. It is such a versatile piece.
I'm doing noken Papua and I got the knit stitch 3 hours ago
Wow, always inspiring!
Great choices and recommendations!!
The trillium dress from Made by Rae is a great little staple dress too 😊
Hi Kaci! what does it mean when Proven Skincare “sponsors” your video? Always enjoy seeing what’s new with you! 😊
wonderful podcast !
Where do you enjoy getting your linen fabric ? Also.....
When choosing a size , say for pants , do you go by waist/hip measurements or pant size ?? I want to make the Bob pants !! THANK YOU !
I can’t agree with you about having one really nice say sweater. I would prefer a couple in different patterns and cheaper (nice) yarn. I personally can’t spend $100+ for one sweater. That is just me. I prefer choices to wearing the same sweater multiple times a week like I hear some knitters say. Glad we are all different.
Loved the video, thankyou.
I appreciate when you show the pieces styled, or comment how you would style it.
I am going to make the velvety oversized sweater by Gregoria Fibers for a cute sweater for wearing around a chilly house. I think it will style really well with a variety of clothing and is not too bulky to wear layered over other garments. It's simple but has beautiful texture, which I love
Thank you! Iam from Germany, my English is not so good, but i like your Videos.
The most sustainable wardrobe is the wardrobe you already own! ❤ Lovely suggestions, but so many neutrals… I need a little more color and pizzaz to keep me motivated while knitting. Things like the Tallvinen or the Sheep Camp sweater get me more excited. The Petite Knit vibe that’s so popular now reminds me of Eileen Fisher. Classy, neutral, classic… but not my vibe.
I don’t go for neutrals in my own wardrobe, but as a person who watches a lot of knitting on RUclips, I’ve come to appreciate makers who stick to colors that allow us to see construction details. I hate watching videos where the maker talks about the fabulous details of a navy blue cardigan, for example, as it’s 100% sure that I’ll never be able to see a thing.
Thank you for another great video just bought the Bob Pattern Im currently working on Flax light in sport
I hope you love the bobs!
I also really like the Lidia tee by Juana Roman, which can be worn two ways and has really nice and clear instructions and currently I'm knitting the Dunes by Emilie Luis, which is a cardigan that can be worn as a cardigan or sweater both normal and backwards.
I will check it out!
It would be helpful if you could also say how these pieces are knitted. I have bought some recommended patterns only to find they are knitted top down in one piece and no one I could ask at our local yarn stores had any idea how to follow the instructions, so I ended up throwing them away. I'm very wary about buying patterns online now for that reason.
When your video drops into my mailbox it’s like a bit of sunshine. I’m a fairly new knitter who wants to make a Renunculous. I do t like a low neckline and I like the way your neckline lies. Can you tell me how you achieved that higher neckline. I’m approx the same size as you are. Thanks in advance.
Great video!! Thank you!! I’m a new knitter, you give such great inspiration.. I’ve had the ranunculus pattern for about a year now. I’m trying to talk myself into starting it. There are many techniques in it that I haven’t had experience with, so it’s scary. Maybe I will get the nerve soon lol!!
You can do it!
God bless you hair :))
Thanks!
Thanks for a great episode, Kaci! I always love your content. I really like the idea of a handmade capsule wardrobe and focusing on long-lasting basics.
My question is: how do you balance a consciousness around consumption and a well-curated wardrobe with the love of the process of making? Eventually that capsule is filled out, and then what? I only have so many knit-worthy friends.
I’m still trying to figure this out! But my mom gets a lot of my knits haha
🌈❤️
Kaci, what weight linen should I buy to make the augustina top? Do you use light or medium weight?
For summer I have been using some lightweight breezy linen!
