I love receiving handmade gifts, they’re so special and as a maker I understand the love and effort that goes into them. My mom is a crocheter, as was my grandma, and I cherish every handmade piece they’ve given me ❤
So many beautiful patterns 😍 I'm currently knitting a Christmas sweater for my dog, I really want to finish it before casting on a new project but now I want to make all of these 😂
I love any handmade gift. I think it is such a privilege to receive an item like that. With that said, I would be so excited to receive a gift card for some of my favorite yarn companies or even a skein that someone picked out for me.
I’ve just discovered your wonderful videos! Such a lovely episode, great ideas for gift knits. I was sitting here thinking, “I don’t really knit gifts” then realised I’m actually knitting a pair of socks for my friend 😂 Anyway, thanks for great knitting content!
Lately I've been adapting beautiful fingering weight accessory patterns to a worsted weight gauge. This lets me use up scrap yarns and make suuuuuper quick and unique gift knits. I did this with the cloudburst mittens which is also a free pattern
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful gift knits - they are lovely and, I’m sure, much loved and appreciated! Nearly everything I knit is gifted :) For Christmas this year, I’ve made two Turtle Dove shawls (Sari Nordlund) and a Musselburgh hat. I’m currently working on a pair of socks and plan to make another pair, as well as some fingerless gloves. A sweater might happen, but, we’ll see
I appreciate handmade gifts so much - but almost everything I knot is a gift - if they gave me yarn I would probably just knit something for someone else 😂
Super episode with some great ideas for gift knits. I've just knit my first Sophie scarf to gift to a friend. I plan to do another one for a different friend who happened to see the first one. I'd just done her a hat and she said she would like the scarf in the same yarn. However I did knit the large version. not the small - I agree with you that the small doesn't quite have enough coverage. I think you must be an incredibly quick knitter to make so many sweaters for your family! I'd have to start in January to ever have a hope of finishing that many and I'd have no time at all to knit for myself - so I restrict my gift knits to smaller accessories. Btw, if I had a baby to knit for in the family, the baby bear hat is a winner, it's adorable! And I would love to be ifted anything hand knitted but I do have very sensitive skin and I'd be sad if I couldn't use/wear the gift.
I'd LOVE a handmade gift! My mom is a great knitter but she's also a very busy woman so she mainly knits small quick stuff for babies and kids, but I've been trying to get her to knit me a jumper, it would be so special to me
I love knitting gifts. It stresses me out. But I love it. This year I am making as many baby knits as I can for my niece and nephew and then all the girls in the family (aunties, cousins, mums etc,) are getting a unique hot water bottle each. I normally knit only for the girls in the fam as fee they would appreciate the most and always do things in their unique colours 😊
Hi I came here first time, love your Ideas. Actually seeing this knitting my stella Quilt pillow (back part) which will be a gift for my mum. With two balls cashmere classic you can also knit a Okapibandana (aniknits) … and also mittens are my favorite gifts for friends. Now I will watch your previous episodes.
I am crocheting a basket for my laundry and I just had to put the crochet hat and a hood on my list what I wanna make. And a book from Alice, I love her designs!! I instantly realised that she is the author of the gorgeous feather bag, I have to have it
I love to give handmade things as a gift. I always told and still tell my, in the meantime grownup girls, that there is love in every stitch. This year I am knitting a cowl for each family member, which is "The snuggle is real" by Maxim Cyr. It is fun and I choose the favorite colours of each person. I really love to watch your videos. They are full of so much inspiration! It is really fun! 🎉 Best wishes from Cologne!
Thank you for this lovely vidéo! I knit the "camée " by Émilie Luis, I made the "in stillness 2" for my husband and the "bibliophile" for my dad! Happy knitting, everyone!
Thank you for this super list--many wonderful ideas! I'm behind in my gift knitting--the Storm Sweater (for men) is the pattern for this Christmas--I have one on my needles and another ready to go, the count down begins!
I stumbled across your video by chance, and I’m ever so glad I did! I very much enjoyed your video. I noted several of the patterns you mentioned, and I’ll be going back and checking out older episodes. Thank you for sharing your talent and enthusiasm for knitting!
I recently casted on The Simple Knit Hood. It was a fast knit! I can't wait to wear it. The tutorial is very helpful with the cast on! Thanks for sharing!
I love handmade gifts but when it comes to knitting I rather do it myself 😅 Not because I don’t trust someone else to do it, but because I enjoy the process as much as the wearing of the final piece, so I would go for yarn or other related knitting articles for other people to offer me. On the other hand, I knit for everyone that would love it. My friend’s children always have a sweater from me every Christmas (they look super cute all wearing the same) but it means I knit at least 12 garments/year only for them 😊😊 Love your videos, your IG. A close follower here, congratulations!
I am a sock knitter...almost exclusively....I have only crocheted a couple of neck warmers...I have knit close to 60 pairs of socks in the last 18 months :D But now, I really got into the idea of making a Love Letter camisole and was researching YT for tips and tricks and that is how I came accross your blog - LOVE IT! I have just purchased the same red shade (doooh, Love and all, of course RED as a color choice) linen yarn from Katia and once I feel I can start...I will give it a go, for sure! I am the type of person that does her homework prior to starting a project so I am still researching and re-watching the tutorial posted by the designer. If I hurry into it without grasping at least the main turning points into the making of the camisole, I will surely get frustrated, make mistakes and eventually abandon the project...can't allow for that to happen 😛 If I can do that, I would be encouraged to try your Winnie sweater design, sleeves on that one are what I dream of...not to mention the neck line - the main reason why I discarded so many other options -> a ribbed neck line, just cant deal with it. Sorry for the lenghty message, will be watching you! :)
Love your suggestions. I’m currently knitting on some Santorini socks for my mom which are a DK weight sock with a little bit of colorwork so very fun and quick to knit.
Thank you! This was very inspiring cause I’m making gift knits myself and a little bit nervous how it all gonna turn out.. I have a big family and there are 3 sweaters, 3 hats, 3 mittens, 3 socks, 2 toys, 1 shawl, 1 neckwarmer on my list. Some of these are already done, and I hope as I’m not knitting for myself this period it will be possible to complete my plan😊 actually the whole idea of handmade gifts gives me so much joy and warmth, and it inspires me even more than knitting for myself. As to whether I would like to receive knits as gift.. well I believe it would be better to get some yarn or needles or some other knitting accessories as gift in my case. But when I didn’t know how to knit myself I enjoyed buying and wearing knits from other knitters very much😊
I've gifted three Sophie scarfs already in the past. OMG, you made me count and I thought I was a selfish knitter, but I actually have gifted knits to friends and family. phew
This is a great episode with not only beautiful knits and ideas but also happiness radiating from your face =D I would love a gift knit like a hot water bottle cover because I use 2 at the same time as well, 1 for my feet and 1 for my tummy 🤣
Loved this episode. Thank you! I made an Oslow hat and the Love Lines Shawl from Clinton Hill Cashmere for a couple ofknit worthy parents. All the best, Kimberly
This is my first year knitting gifts for my family and friends. I decided to knit coffee (or tea) cup sleeves with the same yarn I plan to make their future wearables. I’m new to knitting and a bit slow but had great ideas for so many of them but won’t get through them by the holidays.
I'm going to knit at least two Sophie shawls, a Collette tee for my sister and a beanie if I can! Thank you for those gorgeous ideas. A hood wasn't on my list, but I think it is such a good idea!
I am currently knitting mittens for myself with Lettlopi. My gift plans are a beautiful shawl for my sister-in-law, another one for my mom, and Alafloss mittens for my husband. Thank you for all the inspiration🥰. Your dad seems like such an awesome character😂!!
I just ordered my yarn to make the sweater on the cover of Memory Lane! I can’t wait! While watching this I’ve been working on the gingerbread CAL by sirdar
Right now I have a vintage mens cardigan on the needles. I've got the 2nd sleeve that I'm working on, and once that's finish, it's all about the button-band and the shawl-like collar. It's for my dad, and the pattern was released the same year he was born. So I think that's super special. It's also my first ever garment, and I am LIVING. I also made a few rugs, some pillow cases, and even a self-drafted chicken plush for this year's presents. I just bought the yarn for some lap/pet blankets for the harder to gift people in my family. Because who's going to say no to a little blanket for their furry friend and them to snuggle with? I started in July because I wanted enough time to get everything done and wrapped by American Thanksgiving. Meaning I can just enjoy all of December without running around for gift ideas.
Loved this! Thank you for sharing 😊 Will definitely be saving the mittens and some yarn choices you mentioned. Next up on my needles will be the Winnie sweater in Drops air
Thank you for this beautiful video ❤ I love your podcasts and all the patterns you showed are so pretty! Many greetings from a fellow italian knitter ☺️
Alas living in Australia means that Christmas gift knitting is not really a thing. However, I am going to crochet a Very Hungry Caterpillar toy plus food as a gift for my Grandson who is obsessed by the book. I usually get a lot of yarn based gifts for Christmas, the family know that the hot weather only slows me down a little bit!
Currently knitting a pair of socks that my sister asked for for her new husband for Christmas 😊 and I often knit my other brother in law socks for Christmas but this year I'm gonna make him a cabled sweater because he's been begging for one for years lol . And I've also made blankets, hats, cowls, and a hot water bottle cover for Christmas.
Currently on my needles: inspired by you actually, the Songbird mittens! They’re going to be a Christmas gift for my mom 🥰 I also plan on gifting a hat! And maybe another pair of mittens for another family member or two. Thank you for your content and beautiful inspiration. Can’t wait for your next video!
On your dad's sweater, just remember to put the buttonholes on the left and the buttons on the right. It's a beautiful color! And you did such a good job on the zip sweater for him! A man of the same height of a woman typically has broader shoulders and longer arms.
I just discovered your videos today ❤ you are lovely! It is really pleasure to watch. I’m doing right now a sweater for my boyfriend hanstholm by Petit Knit. I hope it will fit.
Working on headband today. The cowl and fingerless mittens are already done. Making up my own pattern and keeping notes so I can do it again. Using a plump DK on 4mm needles so it's knitting up fast.
I’m working on my first ever Musselburgh hat that I will gift to my dad! I think as a newer knitter I would like to get yarn as a gift so that I can try different types of projects. I have yet to make my first sweater, so I love the options that you shared.
I'm making matching herringbone mittens (free pattern from purl soho) for my grandparents and they're so fun and quick to knit! My grandma has knitted her whole life but her hands can't do it anymore, so I'm looking forward to being the one gifting her rather than the other way around!
Loved this video! So many ideas I’m definitely using for gifts this year! I’m currently knitting the Alpine Vest by Caitlin Hunter from the Nordic Knits Book!!
Thank you for this video love your inspiration and yes I am knitting my 3rd Sophie Scarf as I am watching this! As far as receiving a knitted gift I would LOVE it and I haven’t gotten a knitted item since I was a child which I remember loving getting them. I love your mittens just wondering if I can handle them I’m not great at color work!
Love this podcast of so many ideas and what you have already gifted to your family is absolutely incredible. So glad they have been so receptive of everything. Regarding the Sophie Scarf/Shawl. I haven’t made even one and really don’t plan to. I just think they are too small to do much good. Maybe for a smaller child as they would cover more for them.
Love hand knit gifts. If someone makes me anything- knit, crochet, tapestry, x stitch etc - I know the amount of work, time and care in each stitch. Currently using leftovers of yarns, mohair, suri, merino etc to knit Salish hats for family and friends. Also a shawl for my 90yr old mum. Have fun xx
I plan to make a load of Oslo hats by petite knit in some very special yarn this year and now after this video I may try some colour work mittens too! 😃
I've added a couple of patterns and yarns to my list to check out! I'm knitting up a bunch of kids-sized Musselburghs for my friends' children. Next year I'll probably knit up something for my brother. My parents are snow birds so they don't have much use for winter garments. 😅
@woozybyceline It really is! I don't think it suits me personally but it's great as gift knits. I'm in Canada and our winters get absolutely frigid and the brim is extra thick and warm - perfect for little kiddos!
Even though I'm a knitter, it was soooo precious to get a hand knit baby hat from a friend when my baby was born. I wouldn't say no to yarn, though - especially if it was a sweater quantity!
Omg, my next cast-on is going to be the Songbird mittens for a dear friend. I love how cheerful yours are. Actually, this entire video was pure joy. You have such delightful positive, loving energy - I just subscribed. 😊 I am also a huge fan of Petite Knit’s patterns in a unisex way. The slipovers are a breeze to make for a man - just adjust the chest circumference and you are good to go. I’m also going to be making a hood for myself this winter: Bonbec by Emilie Luis. As you said, it’s so cute to have a hoodie look and it’s versatile. I’m finishing up the Hiedra mitts by Fiber Tales for a friend just now. They are super fun to make with an interesting little braid bordering the cables. She has helpful videos for that, as the technique was new for me. Thank you SO much for all the yarn and book recommendations, I will definitely be checking these out. I’m so glad the universe sent me this link! Happy Knitting to you!
This is the sweetest comment ever! 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️ thank you so much for watching I appreciate it so much 🥰 I’m so glad you found some knitting ideas in the video. And the braid sounds so cute!!
gimme that yarnnnnnnnn. of course I would accept a handknit gift because Im friends with an amazing knitter, but I do value the yarn more because making it myself is so fun (and my whole life)
I am planning to make my sister in law a hot(ter)waterbottlecover for Christmas, quite excited. And I must tell you, I rewatched you talking about your HWB setup multiple times, was very amusing how you said it/your expressions. 😂
To be honest, as a knitter and sewist, I'd love handmade gifts, but I have really sensitive skin, and I don't like synthetic fibers. So making something for me would be so annoying for people. But it has good side as well, apparently everyone says that I'm good person for choosing stuff for kids - if I don't get irritated, there's almost 100% chance that they won't get irritated too 😂 My favourite gift knit patterns so far are Frida by Emilie Luis and Birthday Wish Scarf by Julie Peng. Both easy to modify size, if you don't get distracted then they're quite quick and they're so pretty. Frida actually used around 3/4 of a ball of DK and for the scarf I used almost whole ball of Sandnes Garn Sunday. It's heavier than what pattern recommended, but it still got very nice and light look.
Great episode. Thanks for all the inspiration. I’m making a number of Shift cowls for friends and family this year (by Andrea Mowry). I love seeing how the colour-changing yarn means you get a different outcome every time. Also I’ve some hats and socks on the needles- and an emotional support chicken for my son who desperately wants one 😂
Hello Celine! I just recently found your channel and absolutely adore your knits, style and your videos! I was wondering how you keep track of everything that you've made? Do you write a journal, do you keep notes? How do you know what you've made? :3 thank you so much for your videos, will keep watching for more new stuff from you!
I'm making bright red sophie scarf for my mother to give her a pop of color to her all black outfits 😂. I'm also making a grey Nauvo beanie by Reetta Pellikka from the book Neulos for my brother.
I’ve been making a blanket for my in laws. I started it on January the 12th and it’s going to be finished by the end of this month. I’m so excited but apprehensive to gift it. I feel like I’m going to be a mess if they hate it! 😂😂
I am currently making the mistake of sleeves by Garn og slikt for a friend, and those are perfect for gift knitting too, because they are so chic and so fast (I‘m knitting them with one strand of worsted weight yarn instead of the 3 strands of mohair the pattern recommends lol)
lots of great ideas✨for a similar scarf to the sophie, I'm knitting the milotte scarf from milottebyvicy, a cute lace pattern skinny scarf, and im modifying the ends with some simple decreases to mimic the tails of the sophie 🧣 planning on knitting my mum a pair of socks for xmas, and currently knitting away on the body of my Braidy Loop sweater, pattern by OtherLoops 😊
Love these suggestions 😁 I watched this while making slow progress on a Billie Pullover by Sari Nordlund that I promised my fiancé for Christmas. I only just got engaged (on Sunday!) but I’d like to start thinking about knitting a soft, delicate cardigan to go over my wedding dress next year - if anyone has suggestions for something beautiful and intricate I’d be so grateful if you could share! Candidates so far include the cardigan no 6 by My Favourite Things or the Theodore Wrap by Johanna Gehrisch ❤️
I made some ruffle socks in just 2 days bc I keep seeing the very berry socks unfinished in my WIP basket and well... I keep making new socks bc I find the colour work so annoying :D I started them in april!!!! they were meant to be ready by june for strawberry season. I really hope I can finally finish at least the first sock this year :D as for gift knitting: I was planning on some hot water bottle covers but I need to get some hot water bottles so I know the measurements. I want to make them with cables, I think that will look very apres ski like and classy.
Nice video! I'm knittibg christmas balles at the moment. And a sweater (sweater n°18) and a cardigan ( Rebecca Clow Cara wrap) and .... should I say more? ;-)
I'm knitting socks and mittens and Oslo hats. I'm not making a Sophie scarf as I don't like the look or understand the hype. Each to their own though. I'm sure I like some pattern that others don't. :)
I am at my 4th attempt at the witre design flashback hoodie. Defenetly read it in Norse instead of English, It has been lost in translation. But it such a beautiful hoodie so I am trying again...
I just found a mohair small scarf that’s two layer knit in the round! Check out Simply Irresistible - Mohair Ascot by Christie Archer. Great for leftover mohair!

I LOVE receiving handmade gifts and gift certificates for purchasing yarn!
I agree, both are amazing 😍
The color of that sweater makes your eyes absolutely pop!!!
Aw thanks!! Green is just a happy colour ❤️
Too many ideas , not enough time! 😂
thank you for sharing all these beauties!
I love receiving handmade gifts, they’re so special and as a maker I understand the love and effort that goes into them. My mom is a crocheter, as was my grandma, and I cherish every handmade piece they’ve given me ❤
That’s so sweet! Handmade gifts truly are the ultimate gesture of care ❤️
I think it's so sweet of you that you have made so many garments for your family members!
So many beautiful patterns 😍 I'm currently knitting a Christmas sweater for my dog, I really want to finish it before casting on a new project but now I want to make all of these 😂
I love any handmade gift. I think it is such a privilege to receive an item like that. With that said, I would be so excited to receive a gift card for some of my favorite yarn companies or even a skein that someone picked out for me.
I LOVE hand knit gifts! But I also love receiving yarn 😂
As a knitter I would still very much appreciate a lovely hand knit for a gift ❤
I would prefer a handmade gift♡. Love this post.
I would totally love a gifted knit (or sewn or crocheted etc). Honestly handmade gifts are my favorite
I’ve just discovered your wonderful videos! Such a lovely episode, great ideas for gift knits. I was sitting here thinking, “I don’t really knit gifts” then realised I’m actually knitting a pair of socks for my friend 😂 Anyway, thanks for great knitting content!

The hood is such a good idea 😍. Also, as a knitter, I would love to receive anything handmade!
I’m literally knitting a Sophie scarf as I watch this video lol!
I'd LOVE a handmade gift! My mom is a great knitter but she's also a very busy woman so she mainly knits small quick stuff for babies and kids, but I've been trying to get her to knit me a jumper, it would be so special to me

I'm obsessed with knitting hot water bottle covers and was knitting one watching this video
I MUST knit one!!! 😍
That baby dress is adorable!
The pattern is so lovely I want to make one for myself ahaha
Love your suggestions. I’m currently knitting on some Santorini socks for my mom which are a DK weight sock with a little bit of colorwork so very fun and quick to knit.
Such a good video ! So inspiring, from the pillow, to the hood and the mitens, want to make everything !!!
Yaay I’m so glad 🥰

I love your plants, beautiful!
Oh my Marie Wallin amazing. Love her designs. Thank you for mentioning her. The one kit is out of stock but I will follow her website now.
She’s incredible!! Try checking the Beautiful Knitters website, some kits might be in stock :)
Loved this episode. Thank you! I made an Oslow hat and the Love Lines Shawl from Clinton Hill Cashmere for a couple ofknit worthy parents. All the best, Kimberly

Hand knit socks from someone would not go unloved! Because like you I don’t knit socks myself, so they would be the best kind of gift 💝
That color is gorgeous on you!
Loved this! Thank you for sharing 😊 Will definitely be saving the mittens and some yarn choices you mentioned. Next up on my needles will be the Winnie sweater in Drops air
Aw yayyy thank you so much 🥹❤️
Thank you for this beautiful video ❤ I love your podcasts and all the patterns you showed are so pretty! Many greetings from a fellow italian knitter ☺️
Yayyyy Grazie mille ❤️❤️
Alas living in Australia means that Christmas gift knitting is not really a thing. However, I am going to crochet a Very Hungry Caterpillar toy plus food as a gift for my Grandson who is obsessed by the book. I usually get a lot of yarn based gifts for Christmas, the family know that the hot weather only slows me down a little bit!
The hungry caterpillar toy sounds sooo cute!!!
That color looks so good on you!
Fantastic episode…so inspiring!
Thank you so much 🥹❤️
Currently knitting a pair of socks that my sister asked for for her new husband for Christmas 😊 and I often knit my other brother in law socks for Christmas but this year I'm gonna make him a cabled sweater because he's been begging for one for years lol . And I've also made blankets, hats, cowls, and a hot water bottle cover for Christmas.
He’s gonna LOVE the cabled sweater 😍
Currently on my needles: inspired by you actually, the Songbird mittens! They’re going to be a Christmas gift for my mom 🥰
I also plan on gifting a hat! And maybe another pair of mittens for another family member or two. Thank you for your content and beautiful inspiration. Can’t wait for your next video!
Songbird mittens as a gift are going to be the MOST special 🥹 thanks so much for watching dear ❤️
On your dad's sweater, just remember to put the buttonholes on the left and the buttons on the right. It's a beautiful color! And you did such a good job on the zip sweater for him! A man of the same height of a woman typically has broader shoulders and longer arms.
Thanks for reminding me about the buttons!!! I hadn’t thought of it ✨
I just discovered your videos today ❤ you are lovely! It is really pleasure to watch. I’m doing right now a sweater for my boyfriend hanstholm by Petit Knit. I hope it will fit.
That’s so sweet, thank you 🥹🥹❤️ he will love it!
Working on headband today. The cowl and fingerless mittens are already done. Making up my own pattern and keeping notes so I can do it again. Using a plump DK on 4mm needles so it's knitting up fast.
I actually just ordered yarn to make 3 Sophia Scarves! I am a beginner knitter and this looked like something I could have made up by Christmas.
It’s such a good knit for that! Enjoy ❤️
I’m working on my first ever Musselburgh hat that I will gift to my dad! I think as a newer knitter I would like to get yarn as a gift so that I can try different types of projects. I have yet to make my first sweater, so I love the options that you shared.
I'm making matching herringbone mittens (free pattern from purl soho) for my grandparents and they're so fun and quick to knit! My grandma has knitted her whole life but her hands can't do it anymore, so I'm looking forward to being the one gifting her rather than the other way around!
That’s so sweet to knit for your grandmother 🥹❤️
Loved this video! So many ideas I’m definitely using for gifts this year! I’m currently knitting the Alpine Vest by Caitlin Hunter from the Nordic Knits Book!!
Thank you for this video love your inspiration and yes I am knitting my 3rd Sophie Scarf as I am watching this! As far as receiving a knitted gift I would LOVE it and I haven’t gotten a knitted item since I was a child which I remember loving getting them. I love your mittens just wondering if I can handle them I’m not great at color work!
Love this podcast of so many ideas and what you have already gifted to your family is absolutely incredible. So glad they have been so receptive of everything. Regarding the Sophie Scarf/Shawl. I haven’t made even one and really don’t plan to. I just think they are too small to do much good. Maybe for a smaller child as they would cover more for them.
Thank you 🥰 and good idea! A sophie scarf for a child would be cute I think!
Love hand knit gifts. If someone makes me anything- knit, crochet, tapestry, x stitch etc - I know the amount of work, time and care in each stitch. Currently using leftovers of yarns, mohair, suri, merino etc to knit Salish hats for family and friends. Also a shawl for my 90yr old mum. Have fun xx
Yaayy for using leftovers for your thoughtful gifts ❤️
I plan to make a load of Oslo hats by petite knit in some very special yarn this year and now after this video I may try some colour work mittens too! 😃
The Oslo hat has been on my list for ages, it’s so perfect!! Yay, so glad you’re keen to try mittens
Oh absolutely would love to receive knitting gifts 🎁 accessories like hats , mittens or scarfs🩵🧣
I've added a couple of patterns and yarns to my list to check out! I'm knitting up a bunch of kids-sized Musselburghs for my friends' children. Next year I'll probably knit up something for my brother. My parents are snow birds so they don't have much use for winter garments. 😅
I’ve heard really good things about the Musselburgh hat, it’s the iconic beanie!
@woozybyceline It really is! I don't think it suits me personally but it's great as gift knits. I'm in Canada and our winters get absolutely frigid and the brim is extra thick and warm - perfect for little kiddos!
Even though I'm a knitter, it was soooo precious to get a hand knit baby hat from a friend when my baby was born. I wouldn't say no to yarn, though - especially if it was a sweater quantity!
Great ideas! Thank you!🤩
Happy you enjoyed 🤗 thanks for watching!
Omg, my next cast-on is going to be the Songbird mittens for a dear friend. I love how cheerful yours are. Actually, this entire video was pure joy. You have such delightful positive, loving energy - I just subscribed. 😊 I am also a huge fan of Petite Knit’s patterns in a unisex way. The slipovers are a breeze to make for a man - just adjust the chest circumference and you are good to go. I’m also going to be making a hood for myself this winter: Bonbec by Emilie Luis. As you said, it’s so cute to have a hoodie look and it’s versatile. I’m finishing up the Hiedra mitts by Fiber Tales for a friend just now. They are super fun to make with an interesting little braid bordering the cables. She has helpful videos for that, as the technique was new for me. Thank you SO much for all the yarn and book recommendations, I will definitely be checking these out. I’m so glad the universe sent me this link! Happy Knitting to you!
This is the sweetest comment ever! 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️ thank you so much for watching I appreciate it so much 🥰 I’m so glad you found some knitting ideas in the video. And the braid sounds so cute!!
gimme that yarnnnnnnnn. of course I would accept a handknit gift because Im friends with an amazing knitter, but I do value the yarn more because making it myself is so fun (and my whole life)
I am planning to make my sister in law a hot(ter)waterbottlecover for Christmas, quite excited. And I must tell you, I rewatched you talking about your HWB setup multiple times, was very amusing how you said it/your expressions. 😂
She’s gonna love it! Ahah! I feel very passionate about my hot water bottle 😍
To be honest, as a knitter and sewist, I'd love handmade gifts, but I have really sensitive skin, and I don't like synthetic fibers. So making something for me would be so annoying for people. But it has good side as well, apparently everyone says that I'm good person for choosing stuff for kids - if I don't get irritated, there's almost 100% chance that they won't get irritated too 😂
My favourite gift knit patterns so far are Frida by Emilie Luis and Birthday Wish Scarf by Julie Peng. Both easy to modify size, if you don't get distracted then they're quite quick and they're so pretty. Frida actually used around 3/4 of a ball of DK and for the scarf I used almost whole ball of Sandnes Garn Sunday. It's heavier than what pattern recommended, but it still got very nice and light look.
Great episode. Thanks for all the inspiration. I’m making a number of Shift cowls for friends and family this year (by Andrea Mowry). I love seeing how the colour-changing yarn means you get a different outcome every time. Also I’ve some hats and socks on the needles- and an emotional support chicken for my son who desperately wants one 😂
Thank you! Colour changing yarn is so fun! Omg I also want an emotional support chicken!!! 🥹❤️
Hello Celine! I just recently found your channel and absolutely adore your knits, style and your videos! I was wondering how you keep track of everything that you've made? Do you write a journal, do you keep notes? How do you know what you've made? :3 thank you so much for your videos, will keep watching for more new stuff from you!
Thank you so much ❤️ every time I finish a knit, I write it down in my agenda, nothing special, just a simple list :)
I'm making bright red sophie scarf for my mother to give her a pop of color to her all black outfits 😂. I'm also making a grey Nauvo beanie by Reetta Pellikka from the book Neulos for my brother.
I’ve been making a blanket for my in laws. I started it on January the 12th and it’s going to be finished by the end of this month. I’m so excited but apprehensive to gift it. I feel like I’m going to be a mess if they hate it! 😂😂
Oh my gosh, SUCH a labour of love! I’m sure they are going to adore it 🤗
I am currently making the mistake of sleeves by Garn og slikt for a friend, and those are perfect for gift knitting too, because they are so chic and so fast (I‘m knitting them with one strand of worsted weight yarn instead of the 3 strands of mohair the pattern recommends lol)
I'd prefer a handknitted gift to yarn I think. I can't imagine a world in which I didn't really like a gift that someone had made specially for me.
lots of great ideas✨for a similar scarf to the sophie, I'm knitting the milotte scarf from milottebyvicy, a cute lace pattern skinny scarf, and im modifying the ends with some simple decreases to mimic the tails of the sophie 🧣 planning on knitting my mum a pair of socks for xmas, and currently knitting away on the body of my Braidy Loop sweater, pattern by OtherLoops 😊
Lovely podcast! I am making Cinnamon and Bourbon by Baby Cocktails while I listen. I have just subscribed 😊
Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️
As a knitter, I would always prefer to receive the yarn instead of a knit item.
I’d love to be gifted a hand knit, there are too many items I’d loved to have but not enough time to make them all myself lol😂
Love these suggestions 😁 I watched this while making slow progress on a Billie Pullover by Sari Nordlund that I promised my fiancé for Christmas.
I only just got engaged (on Sunday!) but I’d like to start thinking about knitting a soft, delicate cardigan to go over my wedding dress next year - if anyone has suggestions for something beautiful and intricate I’d be so grateful if you could share! Candidates so far include the cardigan no 6 by My Favourite Things or the Theodore Wrap by Johanna Gehrisch ❤️
Great ideas I think I’ll knit that kutovakika hood! Btw I believe Laine is pronounced
“lie-nah” 2 syllables.
one day we shall learn Finnish through knitting ☺
Making socks 👍
I made some ruffle socks in just 2 days bc I keep seeing the very berry socks unfinished in my WIP basket and well... I keep making new socks bc I find the colour work so annoying :D I started them in april!!!! they were meant to be ready by june for strawberry season. I really hope I can finally finish at least the first sock this year :D as for gift knitting: I was planning on some hot water bottle covers but I need to get some hot water bottles so I know the measurements. I want to make them with cables, I think that will look very apres ski like and classy.
❤🌈🧶 Very helpful & interesting, thank you 🥰
Nice video! I'm knittibg christmas balles at the moment. And a sweater (sweater n°18) and a cardigan ( Rebecca Clow Cara wrap) and .... should I say more? ;-)
I'm knitting socks and mittens and Oslo hats. I'm not making a Sophie scarf as I don't like the look or understand the hype. Each to their own though. I'm sure I like some pattern that others don't. :)
Perfect accessories for gift knitting! Yes, there is something for everyone out there 😍
What is your job to keep up with this amount of good yarn? I'd love to know for myself lol 😊
13:20 No offense, but for a sec, I thought your pillowcase was the sort of fuzzy covers our grandmas used to put on the cover of the loo seat hahahaha
If I’m honest, I’d prefer money or gift card so I could buy more of my favourite needles or yarn😊
I am at my 4th attempt at the witre design flashback hoodie. Defenetly read it in Norse instead of English, It has been lost in translation. But it such a beautiful hoodie so I am trying again...
❤️🌈
I just found a mohair small scarf that’s two layer knit in the round! Check out Simply Irresistible - Mohair Ascot by Christie Archer. Great for leftover mohair!
