Hope you are feeling better now

I love Guri Pedersen’s baby knits! I’ve been knitting up some for my baby due in Dec. She just came out with a sleep suit that’s ❤

So nice to see you again, sorry you're still having the nausea, but not long now . I love the baby knits, especially the little Celeste sweater ! The mittens are stunning, I would love to make some, but I'm a bit intimidated by them. Did you use magic loop or small circulars? Take care 💗

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Sorry to hear it’s been so rough though. Hoping for better times ahead. I’m also pregnant, due Dec 23.

Congratulations ! I’ve now purchased the baby it’s so cute❤️. I’m knitting for a baby girl due in 2 weeks, she will be my great niece !!! Love your vlogs and hope you get over your sickness as soon as. Xx

Congratulations on your marriage and baby news ! I hope you feel better soon , love your sweet baby knit 💕

Congrats! So happy for you regarding your baby! Im so sorry you have been struggling through all this nausea 💕

Congratulations! Lovely news!

Congrats Rebecca!! Wishing you and baby well!

Congratulations! 🎊 I hope you feel better soon. 💜 Your projects look great! 🧶

Really feel for you. I had the same illness through both my pregnancies and ended up in hospital with my first. Couldn’t even drink water. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. I promise its worth it xxx

Wonderful news! Congrats!❤

All the best for you and your baby!

Your vest flares out at the bottom because the armhole ribbing is cinching in fabric at the top of the side so comparatively the bottom has excess width! You could probably block this longer to make it skinnier. When I block I take dry measurements of my garment across the armholes, from armpit to cuff, from arm pit to hem, from armpit to armpit, and from one hem side to the other. I compare this to the pattern measurements available and the measurements I know I prefer from other garments. Then after blocking I make sure to spread my garment to meet my desired measurements and pin it down to those measurements. Also I never let my knitwear hang on any way when I pick it up after soaking. I lift it out of the sink in a giant ball so no weight is being put on the fabric. Also if you are using your washing machine to block I would probably use a garment bag so it isn’t being pulled at all during the cycle.

I used to have a similar problem with my knits growing too much when blocking, particularly in the sleeves - a few times they came out comically long! A lot of the time it came down to my yarn choices, I found - as others have said superwash yarn grows significantly more. Also not picking up the soaked garment and letting the weight/gravity take over - squeeze it out as much as you can! And remember you don't have to block aggressively, most garments just need to be laid flat unless you need to open up some lace or something

Andrea Mowry has a UA-cam channel with knitting advice and answers questions about blocking often, so maybe check out her videos for some info. But one of her main advice is to squeeze out as much water as possible before picking the garment up and then pick it up in a little ball without letting any parts of it fall down and stretch. All your pieces look gorgeous! Glad to see another video of yours.

Keep in mind that Drops extrafine Merino is a superwash yarn, it will grow even more in blocking, and i think it wouldn't do your cables justice. I did a Baby Ingrid sweater with it, it turned out okay but the texture looks a bit saggy compared to when i knit it in a non superwash yarn (and it is just a baby knit without any weight to it). Your knits are so beautiful! I am in awe of the self drafted wrap! ❤ Also i rewatched the Celeste Saga and you pushed me over the edge: i'm gonna do it! 💪

I love the wrap and now I want to make one 🤩. I Will go and visit this yarn shop perhaps today 😊

I suppose it’s worth taking into account if the gauge swatch grows by say 10% then a large finished unwashed garment could also grow 10%. Not sure.. but good luck in future.

Maybe try not lifting the sopping wet garment. Just pull the plug or tip out the water while the garment is still in the bottom of the vessel and press and rotate the knit against the bottom of your vessel to get as much water out as possible. Form it into kind of like a sausage shape and lift it a little in stages, squeezing and rotating it until you have got enough water out to quickly lift and support the whole thing while it is still in a sausage shape onto the towels to blot it. If you still have quite a lot of water in it at that stage, don’t worry. Better to use multiple towels than to ring it or squeeze it too much. Just be gentle and swift with your handling of it onto the towels. Carefully flatten it out on your towels and blot as usual. Then if it still looks large anywhere, kind of pat, pat, pat it back into a smaller shape on your blocking mat. Good luck x

Instead of wet blocking, try steam blocking. It doesn't weigh the garment down like wet blocking. I bought a steamer and it was a game changer.

Love your wrap! Your knits are always so lovely and never miss one of your posts. Happiest of birthdays! 💕

That wrap top is beautiful 😍 I wouldn’t have a clue where to start self-drafting a pattern and I’ve been knitting for over 20 years!

You’re Moby is so beautiful even with the flare ❤

As far as Ravelry … have you tried the app ravit… it’s about 5 usd and might be worth it for the interface

Hi Rebecca, I’ve just stumbled across your channel and feel very inspired to pick up my needles again (Celeste sweater!) after feeling in a bit of a slump. I relate to so much of your goals after being a knitter for a year and also going to Copenhagen in March. - I’m also planning on picking up my first cable knit jumper yarn over there so excited to see what you pick! ❤

If you want a more fitted cropped cardigan, you can knit the April cardigan. I love my Champagne cardigan! I think it is the project I am most proud of to date and already ordered yarn for my next one. 😊

love the cropped length of your champagne cardi, and the colour! sad to hear about the yarn accident :/ hope all is well now!

Really enjoyed your podcast. Fir your V neck you could always try duplicate stitching over the join at the end to see if you prefer the original look. ❤

Lovely lines on your cardigan. Great job 👏🏼 It’s so interesting and helpful to hear how you felt more positive about it as it grew. I would like to knit it and now I know to reserve judgement until the button band goes on. Thank you! Recently finding red looks surprisingly good with coral and also with pink-toned browns and beiges like your Novita yarns. And for contrast with a purpley toned royal blue. Hope you have fun styling it. Don’t be scared of a mid-project block. I do it all the time with no problems whatsoever. I’ve done it on Barber cords but also with the needles in. Quick soak, blot with towels, leave to dry and Bob’s your Unble. Be careful with the Stitches sweater. Depending on how much of the text your right arm is covering, it can look like it says TITCHEST 😳 Knitting on my Sonya top by Paulastrickt while watching 💕🧶

I like the red cardigan but I think it is more of a bolero because it is sooo cropped.

I’d suggest you try drops belle for your next tolsta. I have one in this yarn and it’s lovely.

Love the color of your Champagne Cardigan. Your Tolsa Tee is so pretty! 💕 I knitted on my Wave of Change Jacket while watching. 🧶

excellent colour for the cardigan, summer jumper me thinks x

Rebecca, it’s always a pleasure to catch up with you 👋 You make me want to knit more hats!

I would love it if you would talk a bit about peeling in drops yarn (but not only) because you work with it a lot. I don’t have that much experience with it yet, but so far but I’d like to know which one doesn’t peel so quickly so that I can plan for the future. Thanks and looking forward to further videos! 🙂

I have the 52 weeks of socks book but i just keep on knitting vanilla socks because I'm lazy, but you have inspired me to make some pretty lace socks! It's summer here in Australia so it will be nice to have some hand knit socks that i can actually wear at the moment.

Love the color of your Champagne Cardigan. ❤

Hi Rebecca Another wonderful video …. Really enjoyed an insight into your weekly knitting schedule. I recently posted a Field sweater to my Mum in England as a birthday surprise and she was overjoyed to receive such a special gift. Just like you, I got so much pleasure from her reaction. I use the spit and splice method if I’m knitting with wool … it’s fantastic Looking forward to seeing more episodes 😊 Von in Aus ❤

What a lovely video! So nice to see a bit more of the person behind all the gorgeous knits 😊

Hi Rebecca, loved this video 😊 and your knits. What method do you use when you need to join in a new ball of yarn? This is something I also am unsure about and if I have done it properly or if it will all unravel on me.

Hi, I'm a new subscriber. I have really enjoyed watching your first podcast. You mentioned that you are now a continental knitter. Did you watch any particular podcaster? If so, who was it, please? I have tried many times but failed 😂 Thank you keep up the good work 👏

I really enjoyed this vlog. Your projects look amazing!

Your glasses are lovely. They really suit you 😊

I can't wait to see what you knit this year! I really like the top you're wearing.

With you on the KFO hype… I was not impressed with the pure silk yarn 😔

Lovely patterns and a few that are in my queue as well. If you start to do gauge swatches im sure you will illiminate most of your issues ❤

Great job on your projects. I really like your Truman Sweater and Harris Hood.

Hello Rebecca! I love your podcast, it seems that we have quite similar tastes in our knitting projects and plans😄Looking forward to see some updates on the selected patterns

Omg I'm inspired! Love the socks and the look of the yarn, i want pale pink socks now😂
