@@virginiatruyens1687 Thank you! Most beautiful patterns and yarn. I’m very lucky to be working with them and wearing them all ❤️
Hi Pirrie.....Im sure I"ve not spelt your name right, but this is how I hear it, please correct me. Thanks for another fun, inspiring chatty Podcast. I just loved the image of the three of you sitting in the car, outside a wool shop no less, waiting to be rescued, how funny and what fun!! Your knits are just gorgeous I especially love the colours and colour work on the Caitlin Hunter, jumper.....delicious! The Dino jumper for you daughter doesn't look child like at all. I think the colours are great! That's a lot of knitting for 6 weeks! That said, I couldn't believe it was 6 weeks since your last podcast, it feels like 3 weeks ago....I swear the world is spinning faster on its axis! Thank you again.
@@kazwahmelbourne9271 it really is going fast! Can’t believe it’s July already!!
Love your green sweater, I would like to knit that one.😊
@@nadinestapler3881 it’s a lovely knit! I always feel like doing texture on cardigans, rather than just stockinette. Texture breaks up the otherwise lengthy purl rows 😉
I heard you say you were nearly out of yarn and that green wool was in your stash. Are you saying you don’t have much yarn in your stash? I wish I had that problem! When I first started knitting, I purchased so many single skeins because of their beautiful colors but have no idea what to make with them. Lesson learned, but now I’m stuck with all this yarn and no plans for it!! 😂
@@lynnesmith6827 I got very close to using up all my stash! The last large quantity I had was the very special green singles & suri alpaca from The Camel’s Yarn that I bought from East Anglian Yarn Festival earlier this year. I probably only had about another 100g in random leftovers! But then I went mad at Drops Sale! I currently have just over 5kg of yarn in my stash. Mostly in sweater quantities. Makes me very happy! I have ideas for most of it.
I was mostly a monogamous knitter until around Easter time this year and I loved not having a huge stash. But since Easter, I’ve just been casting on everything whenever I fancy it and love having yarn ready to cast on with in my stash. I mostly have 4-ply and few matching mohairs and couple of DK sweater quantities too. I’m so excited about all of it!
My yarn buying tends to be quite sporadic, I knit everything up and then buy a whole lot of new yarn. When I went to Yarndale with a friend couple of years ago, I had to borrow yarn from her because I ran out on the train there! I had used up the last bit of my stash on a pair of toe up socks! Xx
i ABSOLUTELY loved that you were dead against a swancho and then you made one and you love it the most of all your knits hahahahahaha! that's hilarious and it does look fabulous. NO way with changing the colours of the dino sweater. The colours aren't childish colours. I love them.
Hello from the US. Your knits are lovely and fit you so well. Makes me want to knit the Pan cardigan. Can you include the spelling of your name on your next podcast, please❤ take care
@@hirzst Thank you! Love, Pirjo Xx
Hi I’m just messaging on my sons phone, I’m subscribed on the telly😊.I love the Swoncho… I bought your exact wool but I’m unsure how you mixed the tweed in…I’m getting in a tangle! Did you use 2 balls of tweed ..one for each colour or did you just pass it from one colour to the next? I have knitted 1 colour work in past a lopapeysa 1 hand continental, 1 hand English but I’m not a very experienced knitter. I’m desperate to get on with Swoncho but getting in a tangle. Hope it’s ok to ask, love your videos .Moominmama73 x
@@formula_tom hi, thank you for getting in touch! I had two balls of “make it tweed on the go, one to go either the main colour and the other to go with the contrast colour. I kept them apart at all times, main colour with the tweed next to me on the sofa on the left and the contrast colour to my right and that worked well for me. The only problem I had was when I tried to frog it after knitting it too long. Make it tweed had “velcroed” every stitch and I had to cut the extra fabric off. It just wouldn’t unravel! I’m knitting a cabled cardigan with make it tweed and Drops Daisy at the moment and I haven’t enjoyed it as much! The whole process has felt very sticky. But I’m thinking it might be the humid weather we’ve been having rather than the yarns! I should’ve waited few weeks when it’s cooled down I think! Xx
Hi thank you for the reply.I was trying to knit with 1 ball of tweed…think that's why it wouldn't work, I will give it a go with 2.I look forward to seeing your new tweed project! I love the effect the tweed has on the beige and cream wools…so pretty! Look forward to your next vid, thanks again.Moominmama73 xx
Your green basket sweater I just loved but could you please give me the name of the yarn again. I could not find the cashmere content. Loved all your sweaters. I have signed up to watch your videos for sure. ❤
@@chardennis9370 Sorry, did I say cashmere? There’s no cashmere in it 🙈
I used Merino Singles and Suri Silk Lace by The Camel’s Yarn Xx
Love, love your Swancho. You’ve convinced me to do one for myself and it’s been on the list for many, many years. So many lovely knits, as usual.
@@crochetingknitter4751 Thank you! I didn’t think Swoncho was my thing, but love it so much!! I’ve started to go through Caitlin Hunter’s pattern library and fallen in love with her patterns again ❤️
@@KnitsFromLincolnshire Sipila was my first color work sweater. I wore that to Shetland Wool Week and got lots of compliments. Unfortunately, it’s too big for me now and I’ll be donating it.
@@crochetingknitter4751 you’ll have to knit another Sipila in smaller size! It’s a lovely knit, I felt that the colourwork had lovely rhythm to it ❤️
Thank you for that Pirrie, as a relatively new knitter this information is so helpful.
Moi! 13:00 maybe you could try treating the cardigan with wool wax to make it softer? I don't know how easy it is to find pure wool wax in the UK, though 🫣 you disolve a spoon of wool wax in warm water and add a splash of dish soap, then soak it over night.
@@ASAMB12 Hei! Kokeilen sita. En ole koskaan nahnyt pure wool wax taalla, mutta luulen etta se menee ehka lanolin nimella. Fairya kylla loytyy!! Kiitos! T. Pirjo Xx
Morning .. you are a fabulous knitter... amazing love your videos.. just going to make a pot of tea and watch this on TV..... thankyou and best wishes from Cherry 🍒 Willingham
@@diowen2725 thank you for your kind words! Xx
Such beautiful knits! I am so glad to have found you! I very much enjoyed your podcast.😊💖
@@germaineramirez4733 thank you Tue your kind words 🥰
I too have spun a couple of jumpers and due to alpaca they felted. One was ruined oops 😮. Thanks for all the great inspiration 🙏🏻🧶
@@zena-knittingbeans7973 We won’t be spinning alpaca again 😉
Lovely podcast, very inspiring….would love to see your yarn stash and how you go about deciding on how many balls to buy.
@@margaretleake9361 oh my goodness, I went completely wild in the sale 🙈
I tend to buy 14x50g balls of DK (most I’ve ever used for a jumper), or 8x50g balls of 4ply or 6x25g of mohair. I’ve found that those quantities normally work for a solid colour sweater. But I’ve gone rogue and started knitting colourwork and I feel that I’ve completely messed up my system as I’ve dipped into sweater quantities… I keep my stash uptodate on Ravelry and find it easy to use and easy to look at patterns to hat I have enough yarn for. www.ravelry.com/people/WithLoveFromLN1/stash
I love everything, especially the green cardi! So glad i found your podcast!you are super awesome😊❤
@@faeryfay3 ahhh, thank you ❤️
Add hair conditioner
@@debraevans2839 I’ll definitely try that! Do you leave it in or rinse it out? Xx
@@KnitsFromLincolnshire leave in
Thank you for a lovely podcast. Your knitting is amazing. Very inspiring.😊
@@nadinestapler3881 Thank you! I love every stitch. Well maybe not the ones I’ve dropped! I dropped one on the ribbing of the black socks I’m currently knitting. Didn’t realise till few rows after and my ribbing had gone out of sync. Too ages to sort out, but I did it! Didn’t even throw them in the naughty corner! 😂
Beautiful inspirational knitting, thank you. I've also knit a cardigan in Drops Fabel which I found too prickly to wear, but I soaked it in warm water with hair conditioner added and it made a big difference. (I use shampoo instead of wool soak too).
@@weegeekus Fabulous tips! I’ll try that. I normally use Eucalan wool wash, I soak my knits overnight in it. I like it because it doesn’t need rinsing. But I’ll definitely try shampoo and conditioner next time Xx
@@weegeekus oh my goodness! I cannot believe the difference it made! I washed my Corran cardigan made with holding Fabel double in the washing machine on a wool cycle last week. After that I soaked it in a washing up bowl overnight with about the same amount of hair conditioner I would use for my hair. I laid it out flat to dry whilst I took my daughter camping at the weekend. I literally couldn’t believe my eyes when we came back. It looked so different! And it felt so soft! Thank you so much for the tip! 🙏
