I have similar goals. Thanks for bringing this idea up.
I really enjoy your content!! You have helped me so much!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m a beginner knitter. Once I finish the scarf I’m working on from a pattern I got from my local yarn store, I planned venturing into making a garment like a shirt or cardigan. I had been looking at the Petite Knit novice cardigan mohair edition as my next project. I see a lot of more advanced knitters who seem to nearly exclusively use her patterns. I guess I won’t know until I try, but I think I want to try a pattern from a different maker for each of my projects while I am building my skills. However, I’ll probably end up sticking to whoever has the most clear and concise directions! Maybe one day I’ll become the type of knitter who creates their own patterns?
The novice cardigan is a great beginner pattern! It's nice to explore a range of designers, there are so many out there! Good luck with your scarf 🌼
Awesome podcast. Really interesting. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching.
Beautiful knitting, Elise! You are so talented. I love the shawl you made with the yarn I sent you, thank you for the mention. I’m glad you liked it!
You really had a productive year and made so many beautiful things!!!! Happy New Year!!
When you talk about one type of yarn held together with a strand of something else, is this the mix in the ball, or are you combining yarns as you knit?
You combine as you knit, so you always have two balls of yarn as you work on the project 🌟
Prolific. What a lot of knitting. I thought the roots & shoots sweater and the shawl were especially beautiful.
Really fun video! I thought the Amy sweater by PK would make the list!
Swedder?
Your knitting projects are beautiful.
🤩 Fun video, thank you! Happy New Year, I am guessing cloud ☁️ #1….
Hey :) You asked if there is smth we would like to hear from you so I take this opportunity to propose this. Lately, you made a video on the most popular patterns of the 2024 with your method of making this ranking. I really liked it! Maybe - if you have time and energy you could do smth similar but for, for example, last 10 years. I think it would be super extiing. Thank you for your work and Happy New Year.
What a great suggestion! I'll do some research into this. Thank you 🌟🩷
Definitely heard of Alexandra Tavel/two of Wands. She’s for a super popular sweater called Autumn League. I’m not surprised about the Framed sweater. There were so many people walking around at Rhinebeck wearing this. I have the sabai top and tolsta tank on my list for 2025
Weird the ballet wrap showed up it definitely isn’t from this year, maybe she redid the ravelry page for it?
I think you may be right, I managed to catch a few others like this but this one slipped through. Thanks for picking up on this 🌟
@ No problem I enjoyed seeing the list!
I love the designs you picked! Gorgeous 🤎
Thanks!
Hello there! I’m enjoying your channel this holiday break 😊 may I ask how do you search in ravelry for up coming test knits???? It seems as though when I search I’m only seeing ones that are currently being test knitted or have already been test knitted… I’m not sure how to see announcements for up coming ones. I would love to start 🙃
Hi, I get most test knits via Instagram. A lot of designers put out testing calls there rather than on Ravelry. Some designers have mailing lists on their websites where you can sign up to test so you get an email if they're looking for testers.
Loved this list and your presentation! Surprises.
My heart broke for your cashmere sweater! I'm so glad you were able to salvage it! Lovely knits, as always ❤
Couple sweaters on this list I have made, am making and are on my robe made list.
Not sure if this metric is available on Ravelry, but I would interested in the most purchased patterns. I imagine there are people like me who do t post projects on Ravelry but purchases and knit many sweaters and tops. My new year’s goal is to start posting my projects😃.
That was surprising. I watch a lot of knitting podcasts, and there were several patterns I haven't even seen anyone make up. The 11th place Acuzena Sweater is the only pattern I have purchased, and I purchased it as soon as it came out. I think it's gorgeous! I'm glad it placed in the top 12 and that you mentioned it, but I've only seen it mentioned once, and it was by a Canadian Podcaster. I'd forgotten all about it because I didn't have the right yarn for it, but I've since accumulated some, so maybe it will be my New Years cast on this year. There were several that it seemed like every Podcaster and their neighbor cast on that didn't make the list, which I also found surprising. I guess vlogs and podcasts don't influence as much as I had expected.
Really interesting topic. I'm loving the colour of your Book Club cardigan and can't wait to see it finished
Thank you! It's the shade pumpkin from woollentwine studio 🌟
I really enjoyed your video. I predominately knit sweaters too so seeing what was most popular on Ravelry for 2024 was fun. Happy New Year!
Fun video, but…. I think that patterns released prior to this year but with projects made this year should have been included. That might have been a very different list and more accurately reflect “the most popular sweaters and tops of 2024”.
I think that would be an entirely different outcome as I suspect the most popular patterns would include a lot of the most made patterns on Ravelry overall. I have thought about making a video on that as well 🤠
I just checked, for example over 4000 Ranunculus were completed in 2024. So it is arguably more popular than even the Framed sweater.
But that wasn't released this year?? I thought the patterns she included were all 2024 releases.
@@amandarenshaw2940that’s my point. The most popular patterns OF 2024 were not necessarily released IN 2024.
This was such a fun video! I have heard of Alexandra Tavel. I believe she's based in the US and is a brand ambassador for Lion Brand yarn. I have made her Mexican blanket which I really love and this year I want to make her Autumn League Pullover. Happy New Year to you!
lovely hearing from you! merry christmas <3
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄
I absolutely love your between flowers sweater that you are wearing. It is stunning! I'm glad you were able to recover your cashmere sweater after it felted. I think those gold buttons look perfect on your black sweater, which is turning out lovely. I'm just knitting a cabled baby blanket this winter. I'm excited to see all the things you are going to make from your stash in the coming year. I think that idea is inspirational to all of us and I'm already thinking about what to make from my stash as well. ❤🧶
Oh Elise I was hoping you might be selling a ready knitted toy or two! Very Merry Christmas to you
I liked your comments but all the talking is kind os slow. The rythm of the video is very flat. Sorry, but I think an honest opinion will help with your channel.
Thank you for your feedback.
+1 for Leuchtturm notebooks and their page numbers! I have big ones and small but def the big ones feel like they allow you to have bigger thoughts I always reckon :)
I agree! I had big ones when I was a student and they were so helpful!
where did you get the acorn set of markers?
I got them from a Norwegian retailer called lanabotanica, they have an online shop
It’s really refreshing to see recommendations ‘for’ the knitters. There are tons of videos for knitters to gift-knit 😅 but not much for the knitters to receive! And I completely agree with your thought on the yarns…I wouldn’t like to get one for a gift unless I specifically pinpoint exactly what I want 😅. By the way, it would be really interesting to see your review on the knitting needles and notions…😊
Congrats on 1 year of podcasting! I love your channel!
Thank you for following along ✨🌸
Love all these recommendations. +1 on gift cards for local yarn shops. My wife is a knitter and she will be getting a gift card. I'd never presume to know what kinds of yarn she's into!
I have to share how to pronounce "pajauta" correctly :D It's a Lithuanian word, chatgpt gives this transcription of the word - "pah-yow-tah". In the first syllable (pah) the "a" is short. The word refers to an emotional or intuitive sense or perception, often related to a person's inner feeling or awareness. Sorry for the lecture :D But it is a very beautiful word, it is not used often in daily language. Also, your sweater is beautiful, could you share who designed it? Or is it your own creation?
Thank you for the pronounciation correction! I love the meaning as well, seems to fit the designs so well. The sweater I'm wearing is the Aegyo sweater by Aeygo knit, made with Snefnug from camarose.
Your Aegyo looks better than the original 😊 By the way, I mainly use Chiaogoo needles, however after hearing so much praise about Seeknit I bought couple of cables and several pairs of interchangeable needles. I don't know if it is just me, but I did not enjoy knitting with them as they were not as smooth and my yarn would constantly get stuck somewhere around the needle. I don't want to sound negative, but before buying a set I would investigate more 😅
Thanks for the suggestions.
😮Yet again a "Welcome or welcome back..." do any knit Podcaster have an original idea? You are truly hard to listen to in this video. If you didn't like Petite Knits just don't follow her or use the patterns. Such an inflated ego that you think you should influence other knitters.
Fair enough that you want to explore other designers but to say that most of Petiteknits patterns are stockinette and raglan sleeves is not true. Her designs include textured garments, colorwork, different shoulder constructions, double knitted button bands etc - she has designs for beginners to experienced knitters - all with great finish🧶❤
She does have a range of techniques in her patterns, I agree, but a big chunk of her portfolio consists of top down stockinette sweaters. 😊🩷🌸
It shows growth that you can admit your were too harsh, thank you@@PurlsBeforeThyme.
Interesting take. PetiteKnit seemed to have got you kickstarted back into knitting. Her designs have simple outlines and can allow you to acquire different techniques that give good results. One they are mastered you can reall start adapting her patterns. This video encourages people who are looking for variations on a theme. However, I never expect to fill my knitwear drawer with garmets from one designer. Neither donyou and this video bears witness to your evolution and having kearnt a lot from one designer whi gave you the confidence to look for others. (My own big step was getting to grips with the lengthy decriptions of Nordic patterns generally. Initially, I found it difficult to see the bigger picture with so much text!).
Loved this video! What do you think about mohair garments for longevity? I also read that some people say that knits with seams last longer than those knitted in the round, do you think its true? New knitter here :)
I think mohair has a good reputation for preventing/reducing pilling. Regarding your point about seamed vs seamless it really depends on so many factors, like yarn type, weight and needle size. I suppose seams can act as anchoring points so warping is more limited. I'll read more into that though, I thank you 💕
I had no idea that Christmas jumpers were such a big thing in the UK. I always think of Darcy’s moose sweater from Bridget Jones’ Diary. 😂
They are quite popular! Now I really want to watch Bridget Jones again 😄
Japanese patterns are easy to translate. Lots of videos on UA-cam explaining how they work and basic translation.
These were really nice! I really want to do a Christmas sweater this year or next, but I'll probably do one that's a bit more in your face. I really like the republication Sandnes did this year, or the Northern Augustins No. 6, which I think is so classy while still having candy canes and stuff like that. For a more subtle one, I know Sandnes has their Julegrynet, which is a bit more chunky but looks really cozy and christmasy in that colour scheme.
I’m knitting the bow sweater right now in an Anna sui color scheme and it works beautifully as an alternative sweater too!
That's going to turn out so amazing! 🎀
THX , they where all really good xmas sweaters. Love the Japanese cardigan,wow that was nice. I have made Magnolia bloom in a red color as one of my xmas sweaters. Another one is the Lou genser (sandnesgarn) in a xmas lighter green. The lou genser I can stæsh up a bit for a more xmas vibe during desember - but otherwise it works fine other month too. This year I think will do the snow sweater (KNO) and the Luminen from Sari. Good luck with yours. I will be happy to see it :)
The El Naranjo sweater looks very similar to the Japanese sweater.
I suppose they have similar branch motifs, but there are some differences particularly in gauge, fit and style. For instance, Japanese is a cardigan and the branch motif goes quite deep into the body and sleeves as well as being wider, so has fewer repeats. The El Naranjo branch motifs continue to different lengths on the sleeves and yoke, so the branches on the sleeves are longer than the yoke. I like both in their own way and love both designers.
I've always wanted to try knitting a pattern by the petiteknitter, so I'll be casting on the Tuku sweater soon. It will be my first time knitting with Snaeldan yarn as well. Thank you for yet another a lovely video!
The tuku sweater is a wonderful pattern, such fun to try it with new yarn. Enjoy it 🌼
Two festive sweaters that I have seen on other podcasts are the Fallow by Anne Michelle Phelan and one was a test knit Nordic Noel by Anniina Juuti. Another one from the Memory Lane book would be the Wings sweater in a beautiful burgundy with gold or silver beadwork to dress it up.❤🧶
I love the Fallow sweater. I made it for my daughter and it her favourite knit that I’ve made her and I knit for her a lot. 😉
