    I just want to take a moment to say how I always appreciate how you respect your partner's privacy! You've made reference to their office space at your old east coast place, we saw a hand petting Nutella, but other than that their presence is completely off-screen, and I really appreciate that!
    Good luck with settling into your new place and your new life on a different coast!

    Marguerites is what a lot of countries call the humble daisy. So you weren't wrong calling it that. They both came out very cute, but the colour of the second is my favourite on you.

    • @amywelliver538
      @amywelliver538 2 года назад +4

      The pattern name is much fancier-sounding with "Marguerite" than Daisy in the title, isn't it?

    My goodness, woman, HOW??? I'm so impressed you knit that entire adorable sweater while packing! I had to move just across town and could do nothing else for months.

    Just want to take a moment of appreciation for the stop motion work you do in a lot of your videos. It's a lot of work, very well done and it always makes me smile! 😊👏
    Also, moving is so stressful! Happy it all went well! ❤ The blouses/sweaters are beautiful on you and you look positively radiant! 😍

    The stop motion animation bit with the lace-like parts are so adorable! Your videos are always such a treat

    My eternal crochet struggle is starting summer projects in the summer, and then finishing them in the fall, just as it gets too cold to wear them! And vice versa for cozy blankets and whatnot. One day I’ll figure it out, lmao

      What helps me is to start something in the opposite season so it's finished by the time the season it's intended for arrives.

    I’m also moving (not quite 3000 miles) and can concur having straight stockinette to relax with for an hour at the end of the day is a relief

  • @lisascenic
    @lisascenic 2 года назад +27

    Both of your sweaters are lovely!
    And welcome to California! The vintage community here is both huge and welcoming!
    (I’m currently knitting a 1930s chevron pullover with typically dense instructions, including no schematics and no indication of what the gauge should be. 😜)

    Welcome to California! If you're actually going to be in the bay area, you should check out A Verb for Keeping Warm, an Oakland yarn shop that specializes in naturally dyed textiles, and Stonemountain and Daughter, which is my favorite fabric store for garment sewing. I hope you like it here!

    Linen yarn is a pain in the but to knit with 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Come to think of it, moving has to be one of the most stressful tasks, along with working with linen, cotton or any other plant based yarns! Wow, you reminded me that I have a bottle of vintage buttons my great grandmother passed to my grandmother then mother then me😊

    thank you for those bits of explanation regarding your chosen yarns! I live in a tropical country so we have mostly warm weather year-round. I've been wanting to try vintage knitting but choosing the yarn has been one of my problems. I'll definitely try local bamboo cotton mixes. congrats on the move! the sweaters were beautifully made 😊

    It's interesting to see the patterns knitted in non-wool yarn, both look great. Nutella looked so happy in the truck with you. I'm knitting little white socks in mostly stocking stich, and yes I agree that it's relaxing to knit and not think too much.

    I think that pattern was shown along with skiing outfits and I think it’s edelweiss an alpine flower that starts out a little greenish or whitish in the center and blooms a small yellow there’s five little round circles in the center of the flower PS you didn’t say where you’re moving out west so just a few hints we lived in the high desert north of LA And the temperature can drop from one extreme to another as much as 40 to 60° in a single day so don’t give away your sweaters that you think are for winter and in LA a lot of people wear a sweater in the morning and then tie it around their neck but they always start out in shorts it’s kind of like a tennis outfit reminds me of have fun and keep us posted

    But you’re a braver lady than me! No way would I even attempt color work in a moving truck!! Both sweaters came out beautiful!! If you ever write a pattern update for it in the round that go up into plus sized let me know ASAP!! ❤️❤️
