My summer project is the tap cardigan kit from we are knitters! It was a bit pricey but I managed to get it on sale. It’ll be perfect for fall, and I bet it’ll take me a long time! Can’t wait to start it! I also want to learn how to make socks. Five years of knitting and I’ve only ever ding minor projects and one sweater!
I am going to attempt a sweater.... I've tried 3 other sweaters & gave up for one reason or another. This sweater is called 'Spring into Summer' by Jeannine Hoeffler (the Knitting Flamingo). I will be using Deluxe Worsted yarn from my stash in Azure Heather. I'll also make some vanilla socks from a Knit Pick -Stroll sock blank that I hand painted stripes with Wilton's Violet. So excited to get started! You are my most favorite Knitting Podcast! Thank-you so much for your 'lessons' and beautiful spirit!!
Hi Natalie, the French pattern is showing dress sizes not ages, 12 is a dress size in the U.K., as is 14, 16 and 18 etc, I love your top choice, I have the Lounging top by Joji Locatelli on the needles right now, that only uses two skeins for the smaller sizes, I too can spend hours on Ravelry, have a great week and happy knitting.
Always love your podcasts & cant wait to see what projects you have finished and are working on. Your designs too are amazing & thank you for sharing. Cheers for now 😘😍❤️💕😊🥰
I’m still trying to figure out how to navigate Ravelry. I learned so much from this one video! Where did you get the ball winder? I like that it sits on the table and doesn’t need to be clamped down.
Wow it's really nice to see your thought process on how you start a project. I like the idea of putting your items on Ravelry early in the process. I don't put items on Ravelry until I've started it for a while. Maybe thIs will make me change my mind.
It was so helpful to me to see you browse Ravelry and to see how you measure before picking a garment size! I just started my first ever garment - the Super Simple Summer Sweater by Joji! Holding my breath because I didn't measure nearly as much as you :) I did, at least, make a gauge swatch - because my knitting friend told me I "had too" lol
Wow, that was an impressive amount of work. I’ve just bought the yarn cozy lite and the Float totes and I cannot wait to make homes for my projects/yarns!
I would like to get one of these. What size is yours? I was looking at the medium one. How do you like the winder from them? Well that maybe the case usually things have new models . I think yours works good seems like. I bought your patterns and I’m looking forward to making some 50 gram cozy’s. How do you get yours in 50 gram cakes? Do you just wind all in a cake then wind again and weight the cakes? Thank you ou
@@PoohBah I have the jumbo winder. :) It's not that "jumbo" but it's great to have the flexibility. Yes, you will have to wind it three times essentially! Once to get it in a cake, a second time for the first 50-gram ball (I use a kitchen scale to weigh the the ball that I'm winding from), and then the last time is the final 50-gram ball.
Knitty Natty that’s what i figured you were doing . I used to lay the whole ball on a scale and wind from there. I was looking at the site and they have the winder, swift and yarn meter on stand that would be great to have. They have it in electric to i think. Reason i ask about yours was you seem to be able to wind about all your yarn so i want need the jumbo one then. Thank you
I'm thinking I will be working on lots of Christmas present socks this summer! Also it is so neat to see my yarn cozy lite pic in the pattern as you were tweaking the pattern!
I was really excited for the yarn cozy lite, but now I am really looking forward to the mini version. And yes, size 12 makes sense. It’s not really about your age. It’s another type of measurement like s, m, l. Patterns that are bilingual will often give the imperial and metric measurements option to help you pick.
ChiMaKnits En direct de son Royaume yay!! Ahh okay that makes more sense! In America we only use numbers in fancy brands, jeans, and dresses. But none of them relate to each other. We just LOVE to be confusing! 🤣
The summer projects I've completed and/or am currently working on: Ogee by Sari Nordlund, Lulu Racerback by Leah Prestamo, and the Rift by Jacqueline Cieslak
Those are some beautiful options for a summer garment! I look forward to seeing which one you settle on. Hopefully, my summer knitting will consist of finishing off several of the sock tubes I had cranked a couple of years ago (eeep), some shorty socks for me, and possibly a top or two for my daughter. I have a cotton cardigan planned for her (Fiona by Novel Reed) and a kit for a summer top that I bought from craftsy/blueprint. I don't recall the name of the top off the top of my head but it had a really neat side-to-side construction. The grocery girl did a craftsy podcast about it - that is where I encountered it.
I have to say, you are very quickly becoming a favorite of mine! I’ve learned more from you in about a dozen videos than I have in years of watching other knitting videos. You’re real, humble, and a great teacher (which makes sense, I know!). Thank you SO much for your great content! (Ps- I’m Cooter_Onalog on IG, I always “like” your stories!). ❤️🐢
Love your pattern choices! What are those felted slings (holding your yarn) hanging in your Kallax called? I would like to get a few for my Kallax shelf :)
Hi Knitty Natty! Love your podcasts and am bingeing my way through! Have a question about making yarn cakes using the gadgets you have (ball winder & ?). Wondering if you always get a center pull ball?
Good morning! I just purchased the Yarn Cozy Lite pattern this morning - prior to your announcement of the yarn cozy mini lite.....Will you be updating the original pattern with the new sizes or will it be a separate purchase? Thank you.
belinda groene hi there! Thanks so much! It will be a separate pattern. The mini and original will be offered as a discounted bundle. Everyone who owns the original Yarn Cozy Lite will be sent a coupon code so they can get the Mini at the same discount ☺️

Emma Swartz ohhhh that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clearing that up! Lounging Top is one of my faves!
I also watch a podcast by Ciasbod from Sweden. She is doing a sock KAL. for May. The pattern is so cute, Brookline Socks. A freebie on Ravelry. 🧶❤️

619to253 I find that I won’t do it for a while either unless I put them on Ravelry at the start! 🤣

Diane Cerny hahaha! That’s a forgiving pattern so you should be okay without all the measurements! Can’t wait to see it.
So nice to see your process! I’m new here but really enjoying your videos! 😊
Kendra Makes welcome! Thank you so much!
Love it! You always pick the prettiest projects 😻
Bethany Flake aww thank you so much!

Kate's Crafting Corner aww hooray! Thank you so much!
I’ve been looking to get a new Swift .
Love mine!
Knitty Natty i would too lol.. looks like it runs smoother than mine. Mine attaches to a table.

Ashley Miller yay socks!! Aww yes, love it!!
Great idea for winding slippery yarn! I will have to remember that if I have any issues.
Karen Hoyt yes! It worked so well!
I'm about to cast on the cloudsley too! I just have to decide which size.
Amber Keller yay! It’s so pretty!
I enjoyed making the Hadi & Shala Tee on Expression Fiber Arts.
One of a Kate ooh both so pretty!

Awesome for the mini cozy, i want try it
Jessie Fournier yay!!!
Wow I thought I was finally getting good at knitting but I had no idea what was going on in this video... 😢
Oh no! Anything I can help clarify? Happy to help! :)

Rhonda Cary ooh that sounds like a great plan! No shame for the 2-year-old sock tubes 🤣 My 3-year-old scrappy blankets can keep them company!

chococat178 thanks! I also got them from Ikea, but it seems like they might not make them anymore. 😞
This was such an interesting watch!
Jessica Schloss hank you!
Jessica Schloss and by that I mean “thank you”! But “hank you” is sort of appropriate for a knitting themed video, right?! 🤣
@@KnittyNatty 🤣🤣🤣 totally on theme!
Hi Knitty Natty! Love your podcasts and am bingeing my way through! Have a question about making yarn cakes using the gadgets you have (ball winder & ?). Wondering if you always get a center pull ball?
You should look at the River Light Tee by Marie Greene ( Olive Knits).
Ann Otlewski just looked and oh my! 😍 Added to faves and is now a contender!
OMG! Love your mug, where did you find that?
Foxer Boxer thanks! It’s from Pawley Studios. They have the best mugs and sell online!
Hi how’s your day going today I was wondering if you would like to test my next shawl was wondering if I could email you the test pattern
austin'scraftcorner hi Austin! Just answered on Instagram. ☺️
