Congrats on the move! Love the book background. Your mashup long sleeve turned out so well. I have been wanting something similar and I see Rebecca just released a long sleeve for the Tolsta so maybe I should see if it works.
I made your summer scarf last year and didn't realize you had more patterns - just downloaded them all and look forward to making them! Thank you for your generosity! Really enjoy your podcast! :)
Yes, I still stayed until the end…..you kept me company while doing stockinette in the round!👀. All your knits look so nice on you! Maybe you could have started with a different color yarn in the yoke of your light neutral sweater, closer to your face…..?? But with a darker tan, I’m sure it will look great! ❤ Hope you are enjoying the new home!
You are not the only person who didn't love the knitting experience of the Ranunculous. I do believe RetroClaude also complained about similar things. She tried to lengthen hers and turn it into a dress, but had issues with the fit around the shoulders.
of course I am still here watching you gal! I love the skirt, heard many good things about Mondim cotton , and as for the peacock tee, you could always dye it at home! I am gonna check that bamboo yarn. Lovely to catch up with you 🤗
Hello again from MN. Thank you for another generously provided bandana pattern. Really cute. Love your humor. You have quite beautiful and predictable tastes in the way you prefer things to fit. Love that skirt too.
So great to see you! Congrats on your new home! Love your projects! Was about to knit Ranunculus in Sandnes Garn Line, so it is very helpful to hear your experiences with plant-based fiber! Love from Cali!
So great to catch up with you! I totally agree with you on the peach tank and creamy tee, not your “sparkle” colours. I had a tank, tee, and sweater that were “blah” on me, so I dyed them! It was not hard to do at all, and now I love them. I wasn’t wearing them anyway, so I had nothing to loose if they didn’t turn out. Here in Canada I used a product called Rit dye and also used their fixative to help keep the dye from fading. I did have my colours done a few month’s ago for fun and guidance, I am really happy I did. I used Carol Brailey online virtual service and she is amazing! (In case anyone is interested, she has a lot of you tube videos where you can see the before and afters) Looking forward to more episodes from you 💓
It was so good to see you. Your Renunculus looked great on you, I'm so happy you decided to finish it. The Cindy Top also looked great. I have knit two of your other patterns, and I love, loved them. They were so fun to knit. I will be casting this one on as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to write these patterns and share them with us. Your Peacock Tee is so pretty I hope you will finish it. Do you think it is easier to make then the Renunculus? Congratulations on your new home. Take care
Love the bandana, Francesca! While listening to you I dived into my stash and found a lonely single ball of KFO Pure Silk just waiting for the perfect pattern. I cast on straightway. Thank you 💕
Lovely to see you again, Francesca! No episode with your sparkly quirkiness is too long imo. Some really gorgeous knits, I particularly love your green summer sweater. The paler colors might look much better with a tan - certainly worth a try! Or just add a bright bandana around near your face. Congratulations on the new house, enjoy!
😅Your ranunculus is one of the best ones that I have seen. Your sweater is exactly what I would want mine to look like. If I were you I would knit a few more. You looked great in it….just change yarn.
Your Ranunculus looks fabulous!! and the tank top you test knit and ended up short....the color and length looks fantastic on you!! You have the cutest body and you ROCK it!
Congratulations on your new home! I think you are a "winter" person with your dark colouring and olive skin. You would need a darker richer pink. But to your point, just wear the colours you like!
Love your podcasts! You are so joyful. Wear the beige top. It looks nice on you. So does the peach top. You could always add a pop of color with one of your bandanas but you don’t need it.
I’m still with you at the end of the episode 😊. So glad you’re back. Beautiful projects as always. I’m so bummed. I will miss the yarn festival by a couple weeks. I am finally going to Italy, but not until November. We are visiting Rome, Florence and Tuscany.
Your Ranunculus is gorgeous. Great advice about the pattern modifications. I do love the pattern but I am not crazy about oversized and boxy patterns and fits. 🧶
I love the mods you made to your ranunculus, I took note of them. I think that bamboo knit shirt looks good. The colour seems to suit you in the video.
Welcome back! Congratulations on your new home! Your Ranunculus is beautiful and it makes me want to finally make one. (I've had the pattern for ages but still can't get it started 😐) Thank you for the twisted rib tip with plant-based yarns.
Another enjoyable time spent knitting watching your youtube! Recently made your 100 gm italian knitter scarf and was such a fun knit. Now looking to find a summer yarn 50 gm for the bandana. Thank you so much for your generosity with your patterns. Congrats on the Knit Italy reaching out for your design! Would so love to be there. I am 2cnd generation Italian American and have been trying to learn Italian for 2 years so enjoy downloading your patterns in Italian too 😉
You said abandoned and I almost GASPED 🤣 I understand if you don't like the colour of your Peacock, I definitely think you could pull it off but if you don't feel comfortable then you just don't 🤷🏼♀️ maybe you can try dyeing it? 🤔 Also, the crochet method for the edge is exactly what I need!! Will look into that! My Lola top is stretching like crazy in the straps so maybe the crochet would help! 🙏 And got to say that the short rows in the back of your green summer raglan do really make it look so comfortable! Like you said - I love adding those to a cropped sweater for some extra coverage and it just makes it feel like it fits better 😊👌
Hi Francesca, The peacock tee may need a scarf in some of that yarn and another yarn that would compliment your skin tone. Perhaps you can re-create the peacock pattern in a small neck scarf. It's a beautiful tee....enjoy wearing it.
Lovely summer knits and wonderful colour in the ranunculus! I think there are so many pretty lace yoke sweaters that I won't hop on the ranunculus train at all, especially after hearing your experience of the pattern. 😅 Your arms are fabulous and toned, you should show them with pride!! ❤
Hi Francesca- I made the shawlette and I loved the simple beautiful pattern. I love the Italian bind off. I think it is a beautiful bind off and I will be using it more. Thank you for your pattern
Thank you, Francesca! I’m a learning knitter in California. I just returned from a Sister Trip to beautiful Tuscany. In Florence and Cortona, I bought yarn. 🧶🥰 Your Italian bandanna pattern is exactly what I need to create lovely items to hold the memories of this “trip of a lifetime.” 🇮🇹🌻 Grateful!
Love your Ranunculus. Shall take your advice and not do the increases before splitting for the sleeves. As I dont want an oversized garment. The Peacock tee is a lovely colour, you can wear it of an evening with a black pair of pants or skirt. As it has enough pattern to stand out on its own.
Hi ! Missed you ! My first ranunculus was a challenge too … never wore it because it was too big … but I decided to make mods also : I sized down a full needle size for body and ribbing and knitted the smallest size ! It actually worked and now I have another one on the needle lol it took me 2 years to even think of knitting it again but glad I did …
The right colors do make a difference. When you put them near your face, you can tell if they make you look your best, or drag down your face. Your ranunculus looks great! Mine is too big, and I don’t know if I want to frog it and make again or not. Love your podcasts!
With the Top down sweater book, the guide says to put a wooden spoon or length of dowel in your armpit to ascertain your back width and to measure the depth of the armhole. The hummingbird beak is so long for a nectar eater. Our South Australian New Holland yellow/black honeyeaters' beaks arn't that long!
Welcome back! So good to see you and all your projects again. Sending you all happiness in your new home. That is so exciting to settle into a new environment to decorate. Enjoy the yard, I bet your kitty and daughter love it. I hope you have a very high wall otherwise kitty could hotfoot it over the fence and go exploring.
I missed you, Francesca! I’m knitting your Italian shawlette but mine will be full shawl in two cakes of 100 percent super wash merino from Vermont. It’s a gift for my daughter who lives in Oregon. For Christmas. Lovely pattern. Thank you so much. 688 yards.
Ahh love the longer episodes! I am so mad that these last years I couldn’t attend the yarn festival, and it won’t be this year either😢 it is soooo cool that your pattern is the official one, good job girl🫶🏻✨(cannot wait to see how the skirt will turn out)
Love your knitting and videos! Congratulations on your Knit Italy submission! I wanted to say how much I appreciate your free patterns. They are pretty, comfy and simple. Have a great summer Francesca 😊
I love the bandanas AND all the books behind you 🥰😍 had to stop myself from creeping close to the tv to see which ones were on your shelf haha but I did spot Emily Henry 😅
Hi Francesca, the Peacock tee is not too bad on you and, you know, you can always fix the look by wearing an accessory in your colours close to your face (a small bandana, a short necklace, earrings, even lipstick...). I always enjoy your videos, you're adorable ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on moving into your new house! So happy to see you back here. Thanks for another great free pattern! You look stunning in everything, I love all your pieces. If you are not in love with the colour of the peacock tee you could dye it over. Since it is so light in colour you have many options. Maybe you could do something really dark that wouldn't be joy to knit with?
Thanks for a cosy episode. I like your ranunculus and also the last t shirt very much. If you dont like the color - why dont you dye it in another color? Enjoy your new home 😄🌸
Well done sticking with your Ranunculus, it was worth it but I am not ever going to make one! I think your Tank Top looks great on you, I have no idea why you don't like showing your arms they are great!! I can't wear cropped or tight fitted tops as I have a stoma bag (colostomy bag) which makes a bit of a bulge on my stomach but it,s fine I am 64 and I survived cancer so hey it's not a big problem!! I really enjoy your Podcasts and am busy knitting your Italian Spring Shawlette. 😀
Love your podcasts! You are so articulate and so descriptive of all your projects. Thank you for your free patterns. I have made all of them many times. I will make your bandana. Thank you!
I just found your channel and have enjoyed watching your podcasts. Your modifications to your patterns with the i-cords and simpler neck line is exactly my style. Looking forward to watching more of your podcasts!
Perfect pronunciation with Midori’s name 😊 just like Italian… Japanese uses short vowel sounds. I’m from Tokyo. Congratulations on new home 🏡 beautiful knit pieces
With you all the way to the end. I think you're right; when you're more sun-kissed, the color will suit you better. Love the Italian Bandannas. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
Francesca I just came back from beautiful Italy. I stayed in Florence for a few days and visited and bought yarn from Campolmi Filati! I saw your video about Italian yarn and instantly knew where to head in Florence 😊 thank you xx
Enjoyed seeing you again and all your beautiful knits. Very inspiring!!!! Enjoy your new home and look forward to seeing what you are inspired to knit for yourself next time!!❤
@ An Italian Knitter Podcast Hi Francesca I’m just going to start a Ranunculus. I love the look of yours. Did you use the smaller or wider collar? I don’t want it to be too loose.
Well, as I Always thought the Ranunculus was overrated, it does not surprise me you had to adapt the pattern to be able to like the fit. Your bandana in the same yarn as your green sweater actually fits as a yoke on it...
Had to look at my Ravelry page www.ravelry.com/projects/anitalianknitter/ranunculus as I have a bad memory 😅 Apparently US 8 (5mm) for the ribbing and US 10.5 (6.5mm) for the body
Don't frog that peacock top . Just do duplicate stitch at the neck cast on edge in a colour that you do like and then on the cuffs and bottom cast off edge. I didn't think that colour washed you out on the podcast as much as you think. However, you must make use of hand knits. The little pop of colour in these places I mention might just work for you . Happy Knitting 💞
Hi so nice too watch your channel again ! You always have such lovely knits .
The Ranunculus sweater looks great on you with your adjustments!
Thank you! I'm glad that my efforts paid off 🎉
Sure we made it through the last second! So much fun, Thanks, Francesca!! Lovely and inspiring projects 💕💗✨
Dear Francesca, try Dark Autumn color palette. Warm and deep colors might be yours …
Congrats on the move! Love the book background.
Your mashup long sleeve turned out so well. I have been wanting something similar and I see Rebecca just released a long sleeve for the Tolsta so maybe I should see if it works.
Do a dye test with scrapes from the Bamboo yarn and see if will take a color you like.
love the ranunculous you knitted :))
I think the peacock tee looks great on you
I made your summer scarf last year and didn't realize you had more patterns - just downloaded them all and look forward to making them! Thank you for your generosity! Really enjoy your podcast! :)
Love the skirt; are you going to release the pattern when you're done? An Italian Skirt? Thank you for the scarf pattern! Love your green sweater.
Yes, I still stayed until the end…..you kept me company while doing stockinette in the round!👀. All your knits look so nice on you! Maybe you could have started with a different color yarn in the yoke of your light neutral sweater, closer to your face…..??

Oh, I LOVE the choice of the icord for the sleeve and hem. Great choice.
You are not the only person who didn't love the knitting experience of the Ranunculous. I do believe RetroClaude also complained about similar things. She tried to lengthen hers and turn it into a dress, but had issues with the fit around the shoulders.
I would definitely dye the peacock tee. The pattern is beautiful. The yarn fibre is lovely. So just dye it to make your heart truly sing xox
I did it! 🎉 Great suggestion!
I like your cropped top but if you want you could maybe add an inch or two of a lace? Either knitted or bought? Just an idea. Nice to see you again 🙂
of course I am still here watching you gal! I love the skirt, heard many good things about Mondim cotton , and as for the peacock tee, you could always dye it at home! I am gonna check that bamboo yarn. Lovely to catch up with you 🤗
I love all your knits. I enjoy your podcasts very much. I think the neutral sweater looks good on you. Thanks for the bandanna pattern 💕💕💕
I love your description of your fruit water, Francesca, especially the sad peach! What a delightful podcast and what beautiful knits.

I've missed your beautiful face on here! Nice to have you and all your knits back.
Ciao, sono arrivata al tuo canale attraverso lo schema "Italian bandana", ed è stata una piacevolissima scoperta.
Oh ma che bello! Sono contenta tu sia arrivata qui 👋
Love your Ranunculus! It fits you perfectly now.
Congrats on your new home!! I don't knit sweaters at all, but your adjusted Ranunculus looks sooo very lovely on you!! See you next time.

I need to buy some green linen. Love your patterns. Thank you. 🫶🫶😘🤝🧶🍨🌞
YES 😂
Ahh love the longer episodes! I am so mad that these last years
I couldn’t attend the yarn festival, and it won’t be this year either😢 it is soooo cool that your pattern is the official one, good job girl🫶🏻✨(cannot wait to see how the skirt will turn out)
Quando ritorni dalle vacanze abbronzatissima il top peach ti starà benissimo!😍
Love all your makes and your vibrant personality. Thanks for sharing. :)
Love your knitting and videos! Congratulations on your Knit Italy submission! I wanted to say how much I appreciate your free patterns. They are pretty, comfy and simple.

Your peacock tee could be dyed I really enjoyed itv
I love the bandanas AND all the books behind you 🥰😍 had to stop myself from creeping close to the tv to see which ones were on your shelf haha but I did spot Emily Henry 😅
Amazing detective work! 🕵️♀️

I really enjoy your Podcasts and am busy knitting your Italian Spring Shawlette. 😀
I am not an expert, so might be that when it comes to bamboo fiber it's not a good idea, but maybe dyeing the Peacock tee is a possibility? 🙂
Your ranunculus looks beautiful!
50:47 I think the color does suit you. However you could try to dye it (at first a swatch).
Thank you for this great podcast. I enjoyed it so much. You are making some pretty things. See you next time.
Love your podcasts! You are so articulate and so descriptive of all your projects. Thank you for your free patterns. I have made all of them many times. I will make your bandana. Thank you!

Love your Raghlan Sweater ❤
Hi Francesca, the Peacock tee is so nice... I'm stopping the video to comment. Have you think about dying it to make it to your taste?
I can’t wait for October and KnIT!!!!
Perfect pronunciation with Midori’s name 😊 just like Italian… Japanese uses short vowel sounds. I’m from Tokyo. Congratulations on new home 🏡 beautiful knit pieces
Yes i am still with you ahah!!
So Nice to see you again! Always enjoy your podcasts! Thank you!🥰
With you all the way to the end. I think you're right; when you're more sun-kissed, the color will suit you better. Love the Italian Bandannas. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
Your Ranunculus is very beautiful. I love the colour. I also liked your Cindy top. I prefer it without the ties. I liked the look with the long skirt.
You are delightful! Very engaging and positive!
Francesca I just came back from beautiful Italy. I stayed in Florence for a few days and visited and bought yarn from Campolmi Filati! I saw your video about Italian yarn and instantly knew where to head in Florence 😊 thank you xx
😍😍 I’m so happy! I’m sure you brought home something lovely 🥰
Enjoyed seeing you again and all your beautiful knits. Very inspiring!!!! Enjoy your new home and look forward to seeing what you are inspired to knit for yourself next time!!❤
I like your Peacock tee. The stitch pattern is lovely. I like the color on you, but why not finish it and dye it in a rust color?
Your skirt is looking great. I am making a skirt too. It is The Dahlia skirt on Ravelry and has eyelets. Fun so far. ❤
I just looked it up - looks so cool! 😍 It’s in my favorites now
Your projects are amazing!
yes, I am still here!
Brava!
I just found your podcast love your green sweater makes me want to knit one. Micheline from Montréal Canada. See you next Time🧶
Yes yes, please join me in knitting all the green things! I’m currently knitting a green An Italian Bandana 😎
@ An Italian Knitter Podcast Hi Francesca I’m just going to start a Ranunculus. I love the look of yours. Did you use the smaller or wider collar? I don’t want it to be too loose.
Well, as I Always thought the Ranunculus was overrated, it does not surprise me you had to adapt the pattern to be able to like the fit. Your bandana in the same yarn as your green sweater actually fits as a yoke on it...
I would finish the peacock tee und dye it in a colour, that is more suitable for you.
When you don't like light colours, you can also try to die them 😊 (But in my opinion, both looked good on you 😅)
I did dye the Peacock Tee! 🎉 Great idea!
59:10. I am still there and i am having a goed time ❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
I like your ranunculus!👌 🌟What needle size did you use for ribbing and for body?
Had to look at my Ravelry page www.ravelry.com/projects/anitalianknitter/ranunculus as I have a bad memory 😅 Apparently US 8 (5mm) for the ribbing and US 10.5 (6.5mm) for the body
Don't frog that peacock top . Just do duplicate stitch at the neck cast on edge in a colour that you do like and then on the cuffs and bottom cast off edge. I didn't think that colour washed you out on the podcast as much as you think. However, you must make use of hand knits. The little pop of colour in these places I mention might just work for you . Happy Knitting 💞
Ha! Changing the color of the neckline would’ve been a cool idea 💡 I ended up dyeing it but I’ll keep it in mind for next time
Maybe you could dye the peacock tee into a colour you'll like better?
