Your joy and positivity are a wonderful respite to the rest of my week. Thank you.
What if you use elastic thread along the neck and arm sides? Or crochet slip stitch on neck side from panel, down and around and to the other panel? Are you still planning to do the negative ease dress in the rayon? I know you responded last time that you thought it will be fine because the white one fits great, but now that you've experienced the growth of the natural fibers I'm wondering if your plans changed. The cardigan is looking so good! And the ribbed cami! I'm a big supporter of doing the waist shaping/vertical bust darts for any bustier people who are looking for a figure-hugging shape. Make sure you do a toile for the Howl jacket before using your fancy fabric. Bonus point for getting some fabrics of similar thicknesses (i.e. getting old pillowcases, curtains, etc from thrift stores). That way you can test the fit, get an idea of any of differences from the patchworking, and practice the patchworking. That shade of green in the yarn makes my heart sing. It's going to look so good!
I actually DID do crochet slip stitches along the armholes! I had to do it 2 or 3 times to get the right tension, but they're perfect and they will NOT stretch out now ☺️ I'm still going to follow my plan for the dress version because I picked a smaller size than the white tee. And it doesn't have to be skin tight, I'd be happy with it being fitted rather than super tight
Can you tell me what about the Estuary shirt you had issues with? I have the pattern and it's on my list "to make". I'm not the most experienced sewist, so now I'm a wee bit nervous. 😬 I have found a tutorial for the Estuary skirt here on UA-cam, but haven't watched it yet, it's about an hour long. I see you mentioned in another comment that you have one of Jenny's (Cashmerette) books, she has a second one out. Both books are available through our province's public library system, just in case you want to check it out.
My biggest problem with the Estuary Skirt was the elastic waist at the back. It was too challenging for me and I got so frustrated with it that I ended up bending my sewing needle into the shape of a fish hook trying to get it done 🥴
@@knittedbywhitney I will watch that tutorial before I attempt the skirt, just to be sure that I hopefully don't run into the same issues you had with the back elastic. How did you like the linen from Pure Linen Envy? Is it good quality? I have been eyeing it up for some time now.
@@denisemccormack3025 I LOVE their fabric! It's lovely and it's been holding up pretty well too
Great podcast. Love your tank and the quotes. Definitely learn each time I pull back. Great yarn from Corner of Craft. Hannah is a delight. Met her at a UK yarn festival- I live in Australia but my origins are England. Hugs xx
Thank you so much! ☺️
OMG that ribbed cami is going to be soooooooo cute on you! The colour and fit are WOW.
I love it SO much!!!! I was hoping to have it done soon, but my September is about to get very busy and I might have to wait until October to do the few finishing touches I need to get done. But then I will wear the crap out of it 💕
Ooh, as a sewist and sometimes knitter, I feel like I can offer some advice. If you like the Estuary skirt pockets, the Peppermint pocket skirt has a similar big-pocket Hobbity look and is so so easy to follow even for beginners. It was the first garment I sewed and I've made 3 more since then. I follow the sew-along by 'Andra Makes' every time I make one and she definitely gives some tips to make it even simpler than the instructions. Once you have one of those under your belt you could consider mashing/hacking the Pocket skirt and UA-cam pattern you linked together to get even closer to the Estuary design lines. A standalone sewing pattern that I would recommend is the Hope dress by Style Arc but as a company they are kind of notorious for sparse instructions, so again I would follow a video sew-along (many recommend leaving out the back keyhole because the head hole is large enough and it makes it that much easier). If sewing is something you see more of in your future, I can't recommend the book 'Ahead of the curve' by Jenny the creator of Cashmerette patterns, a company known for busty plus size patterns. The book contains some simple patterns (Honeybourne is my favourite) and SO MUCH advice on fitting to diverse bodies. I learned so much from this book and Jenny is also generous with tips, hacking guides etc on her blog and Instagram (a lot of which is specific to busty and/or plus size sewists. Also, just a quick note that in regards to the Big 4 sewing companies, the designer Connie Crawford made a line for Butterick using her own block (base set of measurements) and they were modern plus size (2X - 6X) and there are some real gems in there. I have bought some beautiful patterns from this line but you will need to pay attention to the line drawings because the patterns used for the sample garments are....not my style. So excited that you are now venturing into the sewing realm after you've done so much work for the plus size knitting community. You are so inspiring and generous with your time and effort <3
Thank you so much for all the resources you've mentioned! I have Jenny's first book Ahead of the Curve, I just haven't delved into it yet, my issue with the Estuary Skirt was trying to do the elastic waistband in the back. It was a nightmare for me. The pockets are nice on that skirt, but the button front was the real draw for me, so I'm happy keeping with the UA-cam tutorial I found. Luckily I found a sew along for the Hannah dress on UA-cam too!
That quote GG shared, has helped me so much in my knitting journey ❤
It's just SO good!!!! 😍
love "its not hard, its new" omg taking that with me. Really interesting to hear how you fixed the deep V issue i was like "did she sew it in? cast on stitches? pick up stitches?" very cool! loooove the yellow/mustard yarn colour great video Whitney xx
Thank you so much Aoife!!! I was really happy with it and I would LOVE to wear this tank with my yellow skirt, the combo would be fire! 🔥 I know the yellow wool yarn will make a gorgeous tank too 💛
You ARE bold. You ARE brave. You ARE BEAUTIFUL! and you are hella talented! Had to pause the video and my walk knitting to tell you that ;)
Awww thank you so much Chelsea!!! 🥰❤️😘
Wooow super Idee mit dem lace Einsatz. Ich finde das top❤ dadurch noch schöner
I heard that quote first (It´s not hard, it´s new) from Deniece from Earthtones Girl. And I firmly believe it. Just because you (meaning anyone) don´t get it, don´t do something right or well initially, it doesn´t mean you won´t be able to at some later date. I truly believe that those occasions are simply the universe saying it´s not the time (for me, at least) to learn that thing or achieve that goal...that it will become clear and I will succeed later. Try try again!
Yes, exactly! ❤️
Oooh, I was waiting for this once I saw your finished tank top on Instagram! So lovely 💕. Best of luck with your Howl jacket! I've sewn one (without a pattern, foolishly), and it was a big challenge. Also a good call to make it for yourself and not a boyfriend who will break up with you 😆 (years later, and I still have the jacket thankfully). Looking forward to seeing all your sewing endeavors!
Hahahah, thank you! 😄
I wonder if just a couple of wee crochet chains with tiny buttons to keep the straps in place on the pillars tank would also help solve the sliding problem, both laterally and the front dropping. The lace panel the back is gorgeous and looks like it’s meant to be there - that little something as you walk away. I agree with the needing much less positive ease, or even going to negative, for us busty women. Keeping positive ease at the full bust makes garments look like tents. The 03? ❤ That is just stunning. Chef’s kiss. I trained like a body builder (never intending to compete) in my 40s and it completely changed my relationship with failure. In weight training, you’re always seeking the point of failure -literally when your muscles can’t do another rep. Failure is the opportunity for growth. So chase your points of failure, then back up, take a break, and bash through!
Oooh I love that mindset! I sure feel like I'm seeking the point of failure with my knitting projects this year 😅
Oh my goodness that green yarn!!! That will be stunning. Also loved how you fixed your tank with that panel such a clever ideas and a beautiful addition to the tank. You are such a genuine sweet person thank you for your podcasts.
Awwww, thank you so much! 🥰
Always a pleasure to see your podcasts whilst I knit. When you gain a bit more confidence in your sewing skills, I recommend Cashmerette patterns. Jenny the creator is very helpful with pattern fitting for larger people. I’m a knitter and sewist but like you I struggled with fit. We put so much time and effort into our makes and it’s disheartening when a project doesn’t turn out well. I’m still learning! UA-cam is great for this.
I have many Cashmerette patterns in my sewing collection! And I bought her first book Ahead of the Curve! I definitely want to make a pair of her Calder pants 😍
Your lace panel is SO pretty and looked great in the front too. You could add like a single floral repeat "panel" to the front to bring that detail to the other side and cover up the bit of bra making you uncomfortable there! :)
I tried doing that after filming this video but it didn't lay right so I need to try it again when I have more time to focus on it 😊
Your white tank turned out beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your knitting journey. I wonder, if you perhaps think you are bigger than you are? I know I do that. I knit things that are too big, then I'm unhappy with the results. I read somewhere that plus size knitters don't need as much ease as the average size knitter uses. You are beautiful!!!
I measure myself every time before choosing a size, and I'm very particular about accurately measuring myself. I really like the fit of the Pillars Tank, I just needed a higher neckline. Ease is completely personal to each knitter, whether plus size or straight sized 🙂
Your deep v tank is beautiful. The solution for coverage is stunning.
Thank you!
It would be nice to have more patterns designed for extended sizes by a designer that wears those sizes. A larger size (as you know) is not just a small size with more inches. There is so much more to consider!
Love the top and the plunge!! You could put a white cami underneath to hide your bra but I love it on you! 😉
I think I'll do that in the mean time to make it wearable, but eventually I'll come up with a permanent solution
Your kind words brought a smile to my face this Wednesday morning! I’m so so glad the panel worked out and it was wonderful to see you glowing with joy. You did that!!! Proud of you 💗
Thank you so much Cassandra! And thank you for your suggestion! 😍
Wow! I love the lace panel you did on the back of you tank top. Maybe you could do a panel for the front, but do one less row of flowers at the top so you still get the low V-Neck you wanted 🤔 without your bra showing or you not being able to lean forward and everyone getting a full view of the 'girls' it would make you feel comfortable wearing it. Just an idea. Nothing you do is ever a failure because you are working on these projects & figuring out the issues / nitty gritty / suggestions for women that are more voluptuous & want to make these knits for themselves & feel beautiful wearing them because they fit properly, etc. ❤ Susannah
I actually did try to make a front panel, but I rushed it and it didn't sit right, it kept ballooning outwards, so I've parked the idea for now. I have a lace cami I can wear under my Pillars Tank so I can still wear it comfortably, but I want to try the lace front panel again in the future. 😊
I love the Birthday Wish scarf. I've made three! One from 100% camel hair, one from wool, one from a wool, alpaca, silk blend.😊
Those all sound SO lovely and soft!
These are great. I’m going to look up the Telma scarf!
Thank you so much 😊😍👏🤩 great selection of lovely patterns. ❤❤❤
Great video. I’ve made Saroyan many times with different weights and it is a fun, lovely pattern to knit. Thanks for sharing
It looks so lovely, I can see why you've made it a few times!
I love the Sophie scarf. Think I must have made at least 6!
You're missing the point of the video, which is to highlight patterns that are not the Sophie Scarf 😂 the knitting community is over saturated with that pattern and there are lots of other scarf patterns that deserve attention 🙂
Lovely selection! I am quite into these little scarves at the moment. Thanks for mentioning the falling leaves too 🥰
You're so welcome!!! I truly love it and it's the perfect project for fall 🍂
My favorite was that last scarf I think. It was just gorgeous and I really want to learn how to make that leaf edging. I appreciate all of the work put into your videos. I would like to request something that focuses on Acrylic or Cotton in Aran or Worsted. It just seems that those four parts are the easiest for a lot of people to lay their hands on when it comes to yarn without going to a specialty store. Then too I have health issues that keep me from working with the smaller yarn weights and the larger ones. You would think that having hand issues would only restrict you from the smaller yarn weights but the more bulky yarn weights actually hurt more in some cases to work. So Worsted/Aran Weight yarn pattern video please?
What a nice podcast! Really enjoyed all the scarf patterns highlighted. Have saved several in my to-do list. Especially love the Pumila, and will be knitting the Miss Marple Scarf as a gift knit ASAP <3
Yay! I'm so happy you found a few patterns you like! ❤️
Love, love, LOVE! Your roundup podcasts are the best! I’m really struggling to figure out how you are in summer in NS and I’m in cold wet in ME. 😂
Hahahaha I have no idea! We've had a pretty dry couple of weeks, and although it's been hot during the day, it's starting to get pretty cool at night
@@knittedbywhitneywe’ve got all the rain and in the 40s overnight here in the woods.
I love that sweater in the intro😊
Great patterns chosen again!! I’m not a lil scarf wearer (YET) but have saved a few of these patterns because I think they would make great gift knits. Thank you Whitney ❤
I'm so glad! And yes, I can attest that they make great gifts! I knit a little scarf for a friend of mine for her birthday and it was a lovely project! ☺️
Oh my gosh, SO MANY gorgeous shawls and scarves and kerchiefs! 🤩🤩🥰🥰. I added the Alex and Super bloom to my queue 🥰💕🥰💕. Thanks for another amazing roundup girl!!! Also, you look BEAUTIFUL 😘😘🔥🔥
Awwww thank you so much Chelsea!!! I'm so glad you found some patterns to make! Love you babe! 💋
Thanks for another great roundup! I was just at the Knitting for Olive store in Copenhagen the other day and bought a few balls of their Compatible Cashmere yarn to make the Alex scarf :-)
I'm so glad you liked the list! The Alex scarf looks SO cozy! It's definitely on my list to make 😄
What a fantastic video! Ok, I’ll admit I put quite a few of your suggestions in my queue…but I also put your video on pause and bought the little leaf neck scarf! What a fantastic and quick gift for holiday giving. Please keep hunting these fantastic patterns down. I’ll be ever so grateful.
There are SO many out there, I would not be surprised if I found another 20 at some point and put together a third list! 😂
It’s all down to Whitney that I made a “Little Scarves” bundle in my favorites so I can pause and add. 😂 I literally can’t seem to find them on my own (I do happen upon one here and there) so I love these videos that show us less talked about patterns deserving of some love. ❤ Saroyan was in my library already, but so many of these are actual favorites because of their different constructions.
@@Shetooktothewoods I'm so happy you love my pattern round ups! 🥰
What is the yarn in the shirt you're wearing? It looks like it might be Starry nights by arcane fibre works but either way the color and pattern is beautiful on you.
Nope, it's not them. It's an old colourway from Ravenswood Fibre Co. a local Nova Scotia yarn dyer! Samantha's yarns are absolutely lovely! 🩵
Where are your 1st 20?

It’s always a pleasure to see your podcasts. You are so bright and cheerful and great “company “ whilst I knit. Love the pattern round ups. It’s always great when there is a podcast ready to watch from one of my faves. Thank you
Aww I'm so glad I could keep you company and give you pattern inspiration all at the same time! ☺️ Thank you so much!
Whitney!! So nice to see you again😊 (you're not gonna believe this but earlier today I was thinking that I really would have liked to watch one of your videos and a couple hours later you uploaded, amazing!😂) As I said before, I LOVE your pattern round ups, you always find something for everyone and I saved several of them. My favourite was probably the Espresso, but I also love the Alex Scarf, and I think that's the pattern I'm gonna make with a very special yarn to me, that was my grandma's how was also a brilliant knitter❤ (she passed away last summer and that scarf in her yarn will be a great way to always feel her close to me)
That will be such a special project! I'm so glad I could play a part in choosing the perfect pattern for such precious yarn 🥹 I love those two patterns so much and can definitely see them in my knitting future!
Thank you, some wonderful ideas here.
Glad you like them! ☺️
💚
Your intro brings me so much joy
Sooooo glad there is a "plus size" sweater pattern! 🥳🥳🥳 i have been on the hunt , and upset.... then youuu!!! Came along! 💙💙💙💙🥳
Thank you so much for thinking about size inclusive pattens. One of my sons is a 5x, but the biggest problem is he's 6'6" and everything is way too short in the body. Knitting it myself means I can make it as long as he needs, and now I have some patterns to chose from. I'm so grateful.
omg thank you for explaining about the book titles, i was SO CONFUSED a few weeks ago trying to add this on goodreads!
I am not a seasoned knitter. I don't really do hard patterns, but I really like that you showcased patterns for plus sized women!❤
