2024 Knitting plans: new designs, more yarn, new projects
As a hand spinner who makes yarn, worsted prep and spun yarn vs. woolen prepped and spun yarn will really make a difference. True worsted yarn will last much longer that woolen yarn. Worsted fibre is all parallel and all the the small broken bits and neps are combed out before being spun. It requires much more preparation; therefore, a lot more expensive than woolen yarn, which is soft and lofty, but all the little neps and short bits are spun into the yarn. Over time these little things will work their way to the surface as pilling. A woolen sweater will last 10 to 30 years with proper care and a worsted garment could last a 100 years or more with proper care.
This is so interesting! I'm not really a spinner so this isn't something I've looked too much into. Thank you for your advice, I am now going to do more research on this 💐
Magic mushrooms can be mistaken for NOT being a psychedelic. Be careful, please. Love your green brioche cardi. Very pretty color for you. Great list. Suggestion, could you make a Ravelry list of your recommendations, you can add link to your info for viewer, .it makes it very helpful for viewers. Thanks for all you suggestions and sharing your work and hopeful pieces.
Hi, thank you for your comment. I added Ravelry links to all mentioned patterns in the video description for easy access 😊
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. so sweet thank you. I just left the comment and you already have changed that fir us. I appreciate that much. Hopefully its helpful for others as well. 🧶👍✌️😁
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. FYI, I also subscribed❤️
@@TrudySchwartzBurrill thank you, that's so supportive and kind of you!
Is that picture in the background cross stitched?😍 I’m an avid knitter who also loves doing cross stitch.
Yes, it's a piece of cross stitch my mother made for me when i was born. It depicts lots of H. C. Andersen fairytales
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. way cool!💖
I am also testing candelaria and also feeling that the test time is too little 🙈
Just a heads up…people are running out of yarn with the Book Club Cardigan. I would check to see if the yardage estimates have been increased before I can on with a non-commercial yarn. If you use a commercial yarn you can order more yarn and have a higher potential to find yarn from the same dye lot.
Thanks for the tip!!
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. I would like to add that I enjoy your podcast and find you to be absolutely lovely.😘😘
Your little duckling is so sweet!
I look forward to seeing your finished sweater from Teti's Garden.
I am joining the mosaic mayhem KAL that starts today and I want to make the mosaic carpet project bag by Marie Wallin as well as the syncopated stripe sweater by Hannah Sandler. But I also have yarn for the frame sweater by Andrea Mowry and I'm finishing up the anyday sweatshirt by Ysolda. Too many projects and too little time. I need an "I'd Rather Be Knitting" t-shirt.😅❤🧶
I knew I heard a fellow South African in between that accent!!! Ive been wondering for a while tx for confirming. Capetonian here!! Take a look at the fungus cardigan by refined knitwear it has a lovely texture and has a belt.
I love the Fungus cardigan ❤️ I'm also Capetonian (I guess Fish-Hoek tonian is more exact) . How exciting 🌸😊
I love the cardigan you are wearing, the colour and the buttons you have chosen are just perfect!
Thank you, that's so kind of you to say 🥰
Holst garn titicaca is a nice mohair substitution for les hairy knits and it comes in many beautiful shades that suits you and your palette. I'm freestyling a bottom up cardigan right now. Later I plan to make Durumagi by Sedna Yang and maybe Butterscotch by Nashawa Sakr (adult size but more like kid's version). I plan to make Bookclub too but it's a plan for mid november/early december when I'll be able to buy a nice yarn for it. This Teti's project may also be the one that I finaly buy. I love all her project but this one is the first one I can see myself wearing to death.
Most people don’t understand what goes into making a sweater. Almost all knitters and artists have had a bad experience selling their work or worse making a commissioned piece. Often the commissioned work doesn’t satisfy the customer for some reason. That’s demoralizing. I’m criticized for selling my work too cheaply just to satisfy my knitting habit. It’s not fair to knitters who are trying to make money, but that’s not possible anyway unless you’re a designer.
I've just taken a look at their Instagram as I hadn't heard of this brand before. They're keeping their cards very close to their chests aren't they! I don't blame any self respecting knitter to question the motives behind this project.
It's extremely telling on the industry as a whole when even higher end places are completely oblivious to the real labour costs and how much an item should really be selling for in order to cover that. It's living wage + experience, and it's funny that bricklayers and welders manage to get paid that and yet the garment industry struggles with this basic concept.
I totally agree. The skill and experience it takes to handknit to a high standard is so undervalued by the industry.
It's sexism
I'm glad that you addressed this, I saw their post on reddit and thought they were so shady, but I think that's also because of the way it's translated too. There's no reason to be secretive if they're doing things with integrity
I thought Cardiff cashmere does this too? It's wrong to do but I believe it's standard in the industry! Please correct me if I am wrong!
From what I can tell Cardiff cashmere don't seem to sell finished handknits, just yarn. I know they do a lot of collaborators with designers but the exact nature of their agreements isn't something I know too much about. Collaboration with a few sample knitters for displays and shows is rather common but not for commercial production.
Cardiff cashmere sells underweight skeins. I've only bought one skein from them though, it weighed in as 23g and the label says 25g. I emailed Cardiff cashmere to address the issue and they replied back with a long list of reasons why underweight skeins are possible, not giving a plan going forward to fix the issue at all and prevent future underweight product.
@@nata6025I don’t work in the industry, and I live in Australia, so I don’t have an investment in your views on Cardiff Cashmere. However, I understand from a local to me producer, that the weight of a skein/ball can vary significantly due to factors such as humidity, and that an allowance of +/- 10% is acceptable (and normal) in yarn weights. HTH
@@nata6025 so you concluded from one single skein that ALL their skeins are "underweight"? Manufacturing differences can occur, it happens literally in every product. I would get if you had gotten a bunch of skeins and all were underweight - then you'd have an average lack of product and it would be fair to say they do sell less than promised. With one skein thats a bit funny to presume, it could very well be a singular outlier. Time to measure to meterage.
lol! It sure seems Instagram gets a lot of people in hot water. People need to think a bit longer before posting
Wow these are some useful tips. Thank you!
I love that you are focussing on longevity. I am currently knitting a very robust Book Club cardigan, holding a tightly plied wool/nylon sock yarn together with a softer 4 ply. The result is less soft and is denser than Sari Nordlund’s intention and is almost like a jacket but I want it to be an heirloom piece that I can pass on to my daughters. Extending on from your points about unspun, the worsted spun versus woollen spun choice is also important, I think. The use of the term ‘worsted’ can be confusing because it is also used to describe a weight of yarn, but ‘worsted spun’ means something different from ‘worsted weight.’ I recently learned that, in worsted spun yarns, the fibres are combed to remove shorter fibres and align the longer fibres parallel to one another before spinning, which makes a smoother, denser yarn. Woollen spun yarns, by contrast, include shorter, randomly arranged fibres. So, woollen spun is softer, loftier, bulkier yarn (think bedhead) whereas worsted spun is smooth, dense and even (think combed and plaited hair). This means woollen spun is more prone to pilling and wear, whereas worsteds are more durable. I’m sure you know all this arleady but sharing here in case any other viewers find this useful. As regards vaccuum packing wool garments, it’s fine for short term storage but it can cause damage if you store things this way for months or years. Wool has a natural crimp and loft that is compressed in a vaccuum, leading to flattening, distortion and permanent creases. The compression can also weaken the fibres which then break when you finally unpack them. Wool also naturally holds a bit of moisture, even when it feels completely dry, and that can lead to mold or mildew if held in a vaccuum. I found this out recently having spotted a couple of clothes moths in my bedroom and looking for a way to store knits more safely. I love your cedar oil on a swatch tip. Thank you! Off to order some right now. Finally, my mother-in-law, always used to ask if clothes intended for a long life and/or heavy use were a ‘serviceable colour,’ by which she generally meant dark brown 😂. My husband still asks me that question about my knits. I try to think about it but I do love lots of ‘unserviceable’ colours, so I struggle. My Book Club is a pale creamy pink 😬
You make some excellent points, thank you for taking the time to share them! I will never abide by the "serviceable colour" mentality, the more colours the better! 🌸💐🩷
Lovely video. Thanks! My tip is to spit splice when joining in new strands. This was a revelation to me. It only works on natural yarns. No more bumpy knots so much neater inside and nothing to unravel.
Hello, this is very interesting video. Thank you. However, I have one question - did you mean that garments made of unspan wool will last shorter? Regrads
Not necessarily, it depends on the yarn. For example, Nutiden and manchelopis are unspun yarns, but they are very sticky, so they form durable fabric that lasts. However, certain yarns that are unspun like WATG crazy sexy wool have a very different feel and texture which ends up being very difficult to keep clean. I hope this helps
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. Yes, thank you :) I hoped for this kind of answer because I love knitting with Nutiden :)
@@KatarzynaSzmigiel-Rawska me too ❤️ It's one of my favourites!
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. ❤
Twist adds to the strength of the yarn and that is why for thousands of years people have used spindles and spinning wheels to make yarn as singles and then plied them together to make 2, 3, or 4 ply yarn. Yarn made with a little extra twist are used as warps on looms to make fabric because they can take the tension on the loom. Unspun yarn doesn't have a lot of strength that is why it is often mixed/knitted with a strand of mohair to give it strength.
Ja!! Flott med fokus på strikk som kan holde seg pen og vare leeeenge!! Elsker det! Og vil gjerne se og lære mer om hva man skal tenke på for mer «robust» strikket garderobe!! ❤🎉❤
What has been your experience with Nutiden pilling?
So far not too much pilling even after 2 years. I own a de-pilling machine but I've never used it. A few small pills here and there but nothing major
A very inspiring video, thanks a lot! I've been looking at the Wave Sweater myself for some time, and I agree it's soo cool, but I want to gain some experience before making it, as I'm still a beginner
Thanks you. You'll get the skills faster than you think 🌸
Å så koselig å se på deg! Du har fått en ny følger😀 Så flotte prosjekter du strikker på. Lykke til med teststrikkingen og god bedring. Ønsker deg gode dager🥰🧶☕️
Jumping of joy! A new video!!! ❤️👋🏻
I testknitted the previous Drevo pullover for Teti, and I liked it very much! Such a warm and cosy garnment!!! This time I let it pass me by, though. Too much to do right now... and such a short testperiod... But I'm sure I'll end up bying it in the end anyhow 😂. The construction is really mindblowing!! Good luck with your sweater ❤
Wow such gorgeous ideas! Thank you. And so happy to have found your channel❤
Thank you 🌸
I'm not much of a cardigan wearer, but I've been busy making myself some cosy vests for the cooler months
That sounds wonderful!
Beautiful yarns! Thank you for the tour. I can't wait to see what they become.❤🧶
I love that you dyed your couch such a lovely, bright yellow! I'm sure it's very cheerful! ❤🧶
Your sweater is BEAUTIFUL! What a fabulous color!❤🧶
I think the Nivalis Wrap would be beautiful in your blue nutiden with your leftover gray as the contrast color. It would have a great winter vibe with the snowflakes! ❤🧶❄️
Hi sweet. I'd love a simple coat style cardigan if you know of one. Knee length if possible. I'm not someone who's great at following patterns. Love your channel x
The Girlfriends cardigan by ankestrick can be made into a knee length cardigan. It's a great beginner pattern as it's all in garter stitch. Lots of love 🌸🩷
@@PurlsBeforeThyme.Thanks. I did like the look of that one x
Such a beautiful color on you! Wonderful job. I love the crochet detail.❤🧶
The sweater you are wearing is beautiful! I'm glad you finished it so we can see it on you. Your skills are amazing. I'm sorry for the loss of your grandmother, and I'm glad you've been able to rest, knit, and think about her these past few days. Maybe you can do a garment in remembrance of her in her favorite colors or a pattern that reminds you of her style and personality. ❤️🧶
I just watched Kitchen Stories on UA-cam. What a great film! Thank you so much for the recommendation. I am a retired Sociology Lecturer and used to teach Research Methodologies to Post Grads. I so wish I had seen this to show my students to explore the differences between positivism and interpretivism, the Hawthorne effect, ethnography, covert observation etc. There is so much in here that could be discussed in class. I’m passing on the recommendation to my colleagues who still lecture. It was so engaging and funny, too, and I would love to understand more of the relationship between Sweden and Norway that I think Isak and Folke’s friendship alludes to. The look and feel of the film is also just a delight! I may need to knit that sweater, too…
I'm so happy you were able to watch it, I didn't realize it was on UA-cam. That's so interesting, it really is quite a film. I really appreciate your insight, I want to watch it again now 🌸
I have been enjoying your channel for some time-thank you for your videos! I loved that your round up included patterns that weren’t just the same big designers everyone else is talking about. The Evina Cardigan makes me sad I don’t know how to crochet-it’s so lovely! I am currently working on the Three Seasons Cardigan by Wool & Pine, but it’s come to a tragic standstill as I just discovered that my hanks of yarn (same color and dyelot) are knitting up to look very different so I’m going to have to frog after the back was almost complete 😭 In my queue, I have Wool Syster by This.bird.knits, Spark by Andrea Mowry, Voyage by Wool & Pine, and Finer Pagan Sky by Zanete Knits. I’m trying to decide which of those to prioritize!
So many lovely suggestions. As a quilter I especially love the heirloom quilt one. There’s a brand new cardigan that came out by Amy Christoffers but I think I like the one you’re making better (especially since it’s DK rather than Worsted).
I loved hearing you talk about the Amirisu! Such a fun idea for their issue ❤ I'm definitely super into cardigans lately (don't know why, suddenly I've just realised how cozy they are!) and this video gave me some great ideas. I'm currently making the Book Club Cardigan and a Minou cardigan, but I've already got my heart set on more cardigan projects later haha.
I haven't heard of the Minou before, I'll check it out now! What colour is your Book Club cardigan? 🌸
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. I just absolutely adore the Minou! It's a combination of cables and half fisherman's rib, makes it look a lot more complicated than it actually is to make! My Book Club Cardigan is a light golden green sort of colour, I've had the yarn (Erika Knight Wool Local Aran) in stash for a pretty long time and now I finally have a perfect special project to use it for ✨
Thank you for sharing all this beautiful cardigan. I like them all 👌🤩
Thank you for your lovely comment ☀️
I haven’t been gravitating to pattern round ups lately, but I am SO GLAD I chose to watch this one! I love the story behind the Kitchen Stories Cardigan and appreciate that you shared that book. Almost all of your choices are outside the mainstream. As I believe that many of the most talented, considered and meticulous designers go unnoticed only as a result of luck. Our dependence on algorithms seems to launch some and miss others by this variable of luck.
That's so wonderful to read. I definitely agree that algorithms keep us in certain bubbles and so many talented people don't get nearly enough attention 🪷 Happy crafting 🩷
I initially thought I would be annoyed by this video but I see your point about her patterns. I will still return to a few of them, but I decided to stop buying her basic patterns last year and am glad I did. So many things she puts out are the exact same with such small alterations - sometimes it’s nice to not have to think about, but if I can save $9 with 10 min work I’ll do it lol. I liked your pattern alternates!
@@Casey-ql5xg Your comment makes me laugh. Petite Knitter has five versions of Cumulus on Ravelry, each of which is only slightly different from the other. I bought the pattern for the v-neck, and when I decided that I preferred the o-neck, I had to buy a completely separate pattern. No big deal, except that I’m reminded of a new-ish pattern by CreaBea for the Tolsta Tank, which includes instructions for three different versions (including a v-neck and an “o-neck”). That said, the Tolsta pattern is annoyingly long.
i too am in a phase of brioche obsession... i just cast off a pair of 2-colour brioche mittens. it was a free pattern and i love how it turned out.
Be careful hanging your woolen on the walls moths like to get in them
Thanks for your tip. I spray all my wall hangings with a dilute cedar oil spray which has kept the moths away so far 😊
Thanks for the tip about Youngfolk’s mod video! I will have to check that out before I cast on.
Your shirt is wonderful, which pattern is it?
It's the Due Tee by @FiberTales
@@PurlsBeforeThyme. Thank you so much.❤
I am currently in grad school getting my PhD, what did you get yours in? :D
Hi, I got mine in quantitative ecology. What is yours in?
I would make some yoke project with this beautiful green yarn. Something like spring of love by Jill Karina Bø maybe? Or a simpler one like Badger and bloom by Anne Ventzel.
I love your fluffy Ranunculus - it's going to be very light, but so warm!
Your Ranunculus is gorgeous but also the quilt you are sitting on. So beautiful! Have you made it?
Thank you, I didn't make it, it's from a company called Toast. It's linen on one side and velvet on the other 🥰
pretty C6 sweater! Sorry for your loss 😙
