I love Those Twins who Knit and Two purls in a Pod.
I didn't realise one could knit without looking at their knitting!! I'm so impressed you're looking at us 😅(knitting my way through your videos from the start)
My thoughts exactly 😂
I’m a lefty knitter. I hold the yarn always in my left hand and the left needle is always my “active” needle. I knit continental moving stitches from the left hand needle to the right hand needle when knitting in the round. When knitting flat, I knit the right side continental and the wrong side I just reverse direction and knit English style moving stitches from the right to the left without flipping the work over. It blows people’s minds when they see it.
Brioche really isn't so bad! It's easy to understand how to do - the hardest part is understanding the mechanics of it to be able to repair brioche mistakes. But since you're an engineer I would think this wouldn't be difficult for you. You should definitely take your own advice and just go for it! I think you'll love it.
Do you have any advice for fixing brioche? I was chugging along with a brioche project and had to rip back 68 rows because I made a mistake and had no idea how to fix it. 😭
@@loveinseattle i think it's just one of those things when it clicks it clicks. I had such a hard time at first, but then once I had to repair a pretty sizeable brioche mistake I learned so much from doing it.
I guess the only advice I have is to analyze the correct stitches really closely to see how the yarn from both strands is supposed to come in and out. It is ultimately similar to correcting regular knitting mistakes, but you just have to understand the correct place for twice as many strands of yarn.
I loved getting to learn a little about you! Congratulations on 5K 🎉
As a recent subscriber, it was really nice to know more about you. I really appreciate your honesty about your experience with the different projects. Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
You knit left handed but you still throw the yarn English style. Are you left handed?
Yes I am left handed!
Fun episode Amy. Ck out Joji Locatelli’s News Paper sweater. I found Steven West was the best teacher for me. He teaches how to fix your mistakes and truly read the brioche stitch. I swatched for 2 days before I casted on the sweater. Lol I figured the swatch was easier to rip out than the sweater. Once you get the rhythm of two color brioche. It just feels so good! I think you would really enjoy it.
Hi! I agree about starting new projects that you are intimidated by. I only restarted knitting this last fall and was inspired by the Ingrid sweater, however everyone talked about how difficult it was. I finally decided to try it and so far it's been a breeze! I used to crochet doilies, so I think reading those complicated patterns really prepared me for knitting (more than I thought).
Just found your channel and loving it so much! I'm a fellow left-handed knitter and would love to hear more about pattern modifications you've needed to make to accommodate that. Thanks for all of your content!
What training have you had to assist you. You are such a great speaker.
I’m amazed how little you’re able to look at your knitting. Congrats on 5K! ❤
Thanks Leslie!
I totally understand the time spent knitting! I love to spend my free time knitting and listening to a book. Living in Massachusetts has allowed me to find great little yarn store and knit outside at some of the ponds on hiking trails. Happy Knitting.
THE KLUTZ KNITTING KITS!! this really unlocked a childhood memory... I totally forgot the name of them and that's how I learned how to knit too!
yess love that! I had so many of their craft kits - a core childhood memory!
Hi, I'm from England UK, I really enjoy your videos and it was really nice getting to know you through this video, and the American way of things. Look forward to more of your videos and your beautiful knits
Loved getting to learn about you a bit more! I recently found your channel and have really enjoyed your projects! Shameless plug if you're bored and need another podcast to watch lol.
I was terrified of brioche knitting too, but I finally took an intro brioche class this fall and the “ah ha” moment for me was when the instructor said that basic brioche was like 1x1 ribbing so once I started looking at it like that, it wasn’t bad at all (still have lots to learn about it though).
I also have Lesley Anne Robinson’s online intro course that has been helpful and project-based (Knit Graffiti). After seeing your beautiful Moby Sweater, I’m sure you can handle brioche!
I have loved watching your videos lately! Congratulations on 5k too!! I completely relate to the feeling of when you’ve watched all the podcasters in your subscribe list! I love finding new podcasters too! It always so exciting! I started making videos as well because of it! Feel free to check some out if you’d like! 😊
Brioche is really daunting but not that bad, I promise! Just a lot of yo and k2tog!
Congrats on reaching 5K. You deserve it. I have tried brioche knitting. It really hurt my hands and I was so sad because the pattern I was trying out has an amazing outcome.
I also taught myself to knit with that exact Klutz press knitting book kit as a kid! Also, I really enjoyed this knit and chat!!
Congrats on 5k!! 🎉🎉🎉 really loved getting to know you alittle more! The story of how you learned to knit was really sweet. I hope my daughter will want to learn one day and I can buy her all the little craft books!
I love watching your videos! Thank you for sharing and congratulations on 5K!
Congrats on 5K! Thanks for sharing all the designers and UA-camrs you follow - definitely some new ones there for me to check out!
I really like the polo sweater. Your “everything I knit in 2022” video convinced me to get the pattern. And I agree the knits I feel proud of are the ones that look like they’re “store-bought”.
I loved getting to know you more Amy! 😊 Thanks for this fun video and congrats on 5k!!
Thanks for an interesting, fun podcast! And you can totally brioche!
Thanks for tagging me, so happy to find your podcast! 😍
This was fun! Love your wedding pic and the sweater you are wearing.
Love your sweater
the name of your channel is adorable
I love NE Knits!! I especially love this video and learning more about you. You need to take a look at Laura Nelkin designs, she's a very unique knitwear designer. I also love Expression Fiber Arts. Chandi is the owner/yarn dyer and she features many designers on her site and always has a free pattern every Friday. Keep up the fabulous work!!
Thank you! I will check out those sites!
Hello from Barnstable County MA.
I’ve enjoyed watching your videos. You’ve inspired me to get back to knitting again. I would like to begin knitting sweaters. Do you find that you get a more “store-bought” look when you use 2 yarns for your sweaters?
That's great to hear you are back to knitting! I find actually I get a "store-bought" look more when I use just one yarn! Since most store bought sweaters don't have a fuzzy halo that you get with a mohair+wool, my just-wool sweaters tend to look more similar to commercial pieces.
Andrea Mowrys brioche hat is the perfect project to jump into brioche. It’s quick and easy and if you make a mistake you aren’t devastated because it’s just a hat (;
I'll have to check that out! Thanks for the recommendation, a hat sounds like a good starting project!
Our answers are so honest and straightforward 😊
Thanks so much for sharing 💗
