thanks so much for commenting this! i was a bit insecure about mentioning it without going into detail but i'm glad it came across as i'd hoped it would to at least one person 🥹🤍 sending all the love your way! 💕💕

ahh how awesome! happy to have you here 💕 make sure to let me know your instagram user to add you to the chat or follow me over on instagram for more recent updates!

that's so smart!!! i'll try that for sure, thanks 🥰

ohhh thank you SO much for saying that!! i'm a terrible perfectionist and spend a lot of time redoing that pickup sometimes so glad to know it might actually be worth all that silly effort 😅 and apart from all the twisted stitches the franky genser is so fun to knit and wonderful to wear! enjoy 💕

ooohhh yes, thanks!!! i can totally see that working! 💕 fluffy cabled texture 💕

ahhh yes i've been wanting to try that! but i'm afraid that one might be a tad cooler and i won't like it the same 😭 the kos color is 4333 so it could be close enough though? excited to see your video! 💕💕

hahahaha ja eigenlijk wel! ik zei champignon 😂

this is so sweeeeet 🥹 thank you!! very happy to have you here 💕✨

lilla zegt dankje!! 🥰 volgens mij kan het dat verf niet echt zal pakken op die vettige vernisvlek, en da's wel een risico vind ik... ik ben nu al een aantal maanden vastberaden om die trui helemaal te froggen en de kapotte wol eruit te knippen en het gewoon volledig opnieuw te breien! moet nu alleen nog de moed verzamelen 😂

@@candidknitfroggen met fluffy garen is best lastig 😮

ik heb ontdekt dat de diepvriezer wonderen verricht!! met koudere temperaturen laat mohair los en met warme grijpt het zich vast, dus als je mohair even in een zakje in de diepvriezer laat chillen (❄️letterlijk❄️) is dat eigenlijk best makkelijk te froggen!

oh yes!!! i didn't know this either... the first time that happened with meds which made that really bad for me i felt so unsettled 😳 i even got a bit too focused on that sensory experience to properly focus on my work 😂 it's not as bad with the ones i'm taking atm but still a great excuse to knit all the penny gloves! also, did you know about the research on knitting being very beneficial for adhd brains? it's so interesting! i sometimes feel like quite a lot of us here might be in that same ND boat 👀

thank you SO much for sharing!!! i'll definitely be re-blocking it to see if i can make this work as well 🥰✨

hehe 🥰🥰🥰 her name is lilla! (it's the swedish female diminutive form for 'little', because she's such a small kitty 🥹)

d'awwww, so sweet i love that! <3 she's adorable!

🥹💕

I was too fast - you just answered that! 😂

hahaha no worries! i tend to be a bit of a chaotic yapper 😅 i found it so odd that i had to size down my needles so significantly, since tynn line is thicker than the suggested yarn? or it is when you compare yardages at least 👀✨

@ sometimes the gauge in knitting is pure mystery 🤷🏻‍♀️

oh absolutely 😂

thanks so much!!! you're incredibly kind🤍🤍🤍

thank YOU for watching!! 🥰🥰

ohh, thanks so much for the tip!! i was a bit scared to try that, but your comment just gave me the courage i needed 🥹💕✨

thank you so much! i tend to go to wolder in gent or i buy quite some yarn from (online) stores in belgium and the netherlands, at times also france or germany! my favorites in terms of selection are wolly wonka and de breiboerderij! often times i also just google product search a yarn to figure out whether any stores nearby sell them 👀✨ (edited out a typo)

@candidknit thank you!!

💕💕

that's actually such a great idea!! thanks 💕✨

ahhh yay!!! so excited for you, it's an amazing pattern! bamboo yarn sounds heavenly too 💕✨

ahhh thank you so much 🥹💕

I am trying to understand how much yarn I need to purchase for Sweater #14. I see the following in the pattern I bought: “200 (250) 300 gr. Merino, Knitting for Olive, 50 gr. / 250 m.” Does it mean that for size Medium I just need to get one skain of this yarn and 2 of silk mohair to hold 3 strands...?

you indeed hold three strands! so for the second size that would be 5 balls of kfo merino and then double that yardage of mohair ✨ i managed with 200g of a fingering wool for the smallest size

@@candidknitoh of course. 250 gr would be 5 skains (50 gr each. ).. Plus 10 skains of mohair. Thank you 😅

have fun!! which yarn/color are you thinking of using? ✨

that's so kind!!! thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍 i hope you have the most amazing knitting year yourself as well 🥰

@ thank you 😊🙏😍

ah wika stop itttt, you're too kind!!! 🥹 also YES 😂😂 your soft blue top looks so cute with your jeans i swear!! and thanks so much for the kind words about my flop era hahah 🥰🤍

thank youuuu 🥰🥰🥰

thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍

oh thanks!! i love anna's patterns and even tested for her before, but want to keep the epiphany pattern for another time and another yarn 👀

And also - about the yarn you used for Ingrid sweater - I also highly recommend the Paul Cardigan, I'm doing it right now in almost exact same colour (different yarn, but also marzepan-ish ;) and it looks sooo nice, very elegant. I want to add beigy-gold beading across the button band to make it a bit more festive :D

ahhh wonderful! i ended up getting some peruvian in old rose online (they don't have that color at my lys) and i'm not entirely sure the old rose will match the antique rose tilia so i'll have to gather the courage to take my ball of non-lys yarn to my lys to compare 🥹🥰

oh no!!! thanks so much for letting me know, i guess all knitting it together will be good then! we can struggle together in the group chat 🥹

how wonderful!!! that color looks amazing too! i'll be keeping everyone posted over on instagram, it will indeed probably be a valentines day cast on 💕

oh my god that hat story sounds devastating!!! i once lost one glove and still haven't recovered, can't imagine losing a hat twice 😭 we'll probably start the KAL on valentines day if you'd like to join! 💕

ohhh a cobalt blue one will be so gorgeous!!! can't wait to see that 😍😍😍

yay! so exciting 🥰 i'll keep you guys posted over on instagram!

ohhh how exciting! can't wait to see that 🥰🤍

that's all so impressive!!! love that for you 🥹🤍

how nice! honestly the design deserves all the hype it's getting in my humble opinion, it looks too gorgeous to not be a huge success 🥰

yay! thanks for letting me know! it looks like it's going to be a valentine's day cast on/start date 🥰

it's called Wolder, in Gent! it's close to the city center, but so not really located in the center itself. the store isn't big (at the moment, this might change since they're moving very soon) but they have many nice yarns ✨ it creates a lovely feeling, almost like you're entering a colorful and well-organized yarn cave 🥰 but more well-lit than a cave 😂

@candidknit Thanks. I was actually on my way there during the fall but due to a large traffic jam (welcome to Belgium...!) we only arrived in Ghent during the evening. But I really loved the city so decided to try to go back next time we're in Belgium. Now I have one more reason to do that. 🙂

ah, quintessential belgium stuff indeed 🥹 gent is always worth a visit in my very unbiased opinion 🥰

one store i would really also recommend near Antwerp is Wolly Wonka! ✨

@candidknit That one is very close to my parents in law but so far it has always been closed when we were there. That's the risk work going during vacation time...

i totally get what you're saying! very glad that seems to work for you 🥰 i do need structure, otherwise i fear i would end up with even more unfinished wips than is already the case 😅 so although it's sometimes confining, planning ahead actually helps me enjoy the hobby! it helps me see projects through thanks to the excitement for what's next! it also helps reduce the overwhelm and choice paralysis the abundance of possible projects can bring, and it seems to keep my yarn shopping in check🥹

22:27 I lowkey feel like a dark brown (similar to your wardrobe in the back) could look great as a button

yay!! thanks for letting me know! 🥰✨

i went and held the yarn next to the wardrobe and you may just be a genius for this! would need to figure out how to make that work with my wardrobe, but darker buttons definitely would look cute!

💕💕

thanks so much for the kind comment, but mostly for letting me know how you feel 🩷 i'll definitely try to consciously avoid saying that in the future! i must admit that i do have a habit of saying this a lot... while i was already attempting to express myself differently in general, i should also note that it might take me a while to make this exactly right given how subconscious my use of it has become 😅

whoops, sent my reply too soon 😅 wanted to wish you a very happy and healthy new year as well 🩷

@@candidknit no problem, thank you for acknowledging my comment! 😊

thanks so much for the tip! i'll definitely check that out 💕

update: i checked it out and you might have just changed my life 🥰 can't wait to try it! do you have any experience with this technique altering your gauge?

🥰

yay! it seems like we'll probably cast on on valentine's day 💕 i'll be keeping everyone posted on instagram and try to figure out how to make a community post here on youtube as well

thank you so much! you made my night 🥹🥰

oh of course! 💕 that sounds like a really great plan, thanks! 🥰

ahhh thanks so much! would love to knit a braidy loop myself this year, it looks so fun 🥰 which yarn are you using? 😍

i was realizing this too as i was editing my video! you're sooo right 💗💕

@@candidknit Go ahead and rock it if those are colors you enjoy! And btw, I've had similar fit issues when branching out. I know that with big designers like PetiteKnit, I will get what I see and it'll fit well, but I've had to restart or completely abandon pieces from smaller designers. I think the reason is that there are a lot of creative people who make beautiful garments, but they're not made with a good fit in mind... Thinking about all the designs with minimal or non-existent short rows and so on

definitely get what you're saying! i do feel like some bigger designers also keep their patterns less complex/more beginner friendly (mostly thinking of my favourite things knitwear here as i'm currently working up her sweater no. 25) 👀 so i was wondering whether they know something about working at a gauge that works for more people, versus smaller designers maybe more so going off their personal gauge? i'm assuming it's a combination of various factors, but so interesting to think about!

@@candidknit I think it's one thing to be able to write a good knitting pattern, and a completely different skill to design a well-fitting garment, whether it's knit, crochet or sewing

yeah, for sure!!

thanks for sharing! i fear i must disagree, though 😳 i guess the filmed colors must look more different from real life ones than i thought 😅 i personally don't feel like the sweater no.20 fits my style as well, are you mentioning this because you'd want to join the KAL with that pattern? because i could consider making it a cabled KAL more generally 🥰

@ yes. I love texture pattern . I was considering diamond Aran sweater.

you're the second one to suggest this, i'll wait a little longer to see what people say but if more people would like to join with different patterns i'll make it more broad!

@ there are so many sweaters on the list. I approach the spot sweater like a hedgehog
