Go Hawks! Great sweater! Thanks for the share!
Your knits are all beautiful
Your yellow jumpsuit is so cute
They say Reno’s are a #1 stressful thing to go through
I’ve been there
Have a great week !!! Excited to see your new knits 😊💝🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love those socks, definitely worth petting!
Just finished my first lettilopi sock! Love love love, you are so right about them. Cozy, not scratchy and they knit up soo fast! Yay! Thanks for the inspiration for a great knit. Onto the next sock. Used Susan b Anderson pattern for worsted socks.
I'm so glad you loved them! they're like a hug for the feet.
Have a yarn kit to make an Aros so found your podcast. I am in Sammamish and I would guess I am going to be knitting the same size. Can't wait.
I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!
Hi Anna, recently found and love your podcast! I’m currently knitting with that exact green drops silk mohair, pairing it with Nutiden for a UraUe slipover. I recently downloaded the No. 11 pattern so your comments on that pattern are definitely of interest and useful and I just bought the same pattern book from Knitt! I so identified with your obsession in ‘needing’ to find that pattern book… I’ve been there many times! Also, as a grandmother of still very young children it was lovely to hear what you said about your grandmums and I hope my grandchildren speak about me like that one day. I have to admit that my yarn buying habits are a ‘little’ out of control but I do admire how you recycle yarn and make beautiful jumpers with it, your ‘stinginess’ does you credit!
Thanks for watching! It sounds like you have great taste 😉
HI. Your Aros sweater is beautiful. I have seen that pattern a few times but overlooked it. It was not until I saw yours that I'm now considering it. I think a lot has to do with the color choice. I love plotulopi(all lopi, really) and what a great choice for this. It's such a magical yarn and hard-wearing. I'm not a fan of weaving in ends, but using lopi is perfect as I can easily rub them together to join - just as I would do if the yarn broke. Love love love the long format. A great companion when I knit that also gives me ideas for my next project.
For you sweater #11, you said the armholes were rather thin and you would increase the next time. How would you do that? Is it as simple as continue knitting before splitting for sleeves?
yep! I would just knit the front and back sections longer before joining in the round to continue down the body.
Your color work cardigan is beautiful, love the color pattern, I wouldn't change a thing except perhaps the size if it feels too tight.
I'm really inspired to knit my first sweater with a saddle shoulder technique, I like what you have shared and have taken many notes!
TY!
good luck on the saddle shoulder experiment! I love the fit of that construction.
Oh no. Not you making me want to go on the same hunt for that pattern booklet 😂🤦🏼♀️ EVERYTHING in it looks stunning!!!
I don't regret my obsession at all! I'm so excited to knit from it.
your striped sweater is gorgeous!
thank you so much! I just pulled it out again now that the weather is cooling down and I love the colors.
I had the same issues with the Sweater no 11. Increases will be thight anyway as you pick up the strand between sts and this tightens the neighbouring sts. I knited a Sandnes Garn cabled sweater with the same construction and this pattern had me knit the shoulder "seam" sts twice ie knit 3, turn, p 3, turn k3, inc 1, knt to last 3, inc 1, k3 and then the same way back (only with p instead of k). This did not feel tight. I tried to steam the no 11 shoulder seam and stretch and it helped a bit. About the small armholes - fortunately I heard someone talk about this issue and I made my front piece longer before joining to knit in the round. Now I go back to watch the rest of your podcast :D
thanks for the tip on the increases!!
BTW my 1x1 ribbing looks wonky to so I have started twisting the knit and I love the look.
Relistened to video and i apologize, you do address the issue. i am going to undo my last stripe and try to reknit paying more attention to the increases and keeping them loose.
No problem! Glad you found a solution!
So glad I found your podcast! I applaude you for your patience with that colorwork sleeve 👏 I feel like I’m a “f*ck it” knitter in the sense that I don’t reknit stuff when I probably should and I’m in owe of you wanting to get it exactly right. I will try to be inspired by you next time it happens to me! Send good thoughts please 😬
oh my goodness I'm so glad you found me, too! I've been watching your videos for a few months now so I'm glad we could connect.
First, great job on your Masters degree! You have this!! Is there a pattern for the socks? I’m going to dive in and would love some advice. Never knit socks before! TOTALLY doing the Aros sweater. Loved it. Brenda in Eastern Oregon
I used the basic bed socks pattern, it's free on ravelry!
If you have any Lopi left, maybe try the Lumi socks in double lopi 🤗
I will check those out, thank you!
Hi Anna! Just found your channel :) The lettilopi socks look soooooo cozy! Is the texture scratchy at all on your feet? And did you block them prior to wearing? And lastly - what made you choose to knit these toe up vs cuff down?
P.S. what is that sound in the background that persists throughout the video? It sounds like someone is spinning a wheel in the background. 😄
hi! they are the best. I don't find them scratchy at all, but I generally can wear lopi next to skin without an issue. I think because the fabric is so dense the guard hairs don't poke out as much. I did block them! I block everything, I'm a blocking evangelist. I think it's especially important with lopi, it helps the yarn bloomand makes it softer. I wanted to do toe up so I could gauge how much yarn I would need for future lopi socks! also, the clicking is my camera lens focusing, I know it's annoying, I need to figure out a better mic situation and hopefully that cuts it down a little. thanks for bearing with me in the mean time!
@@apt.atelier HAHAHAHA love it “blocking evangelist” 😂😂😂 OKAY gotcha! That was super insightful!! Can’t wait to knit lopi 🌚🌚🌚 I see the lopi cakes/wheels in yarn stores all the time and they’re so alluring and then I always chicken out; but your love for lopi in this video is sooo convincing and I consider myself #influenced. 🤸
@@lynnez I'm glad I could enable you! can't wait to hear about what you make with it!
oh god! that sandnes book looks amazing! I am dying to knit the Gia Zipper sweater but sadly it is veyr hard to get that book where I live (I am in Perú). Do you happen to know if there is a way to purchase it in digital form? Love your podcasts!!
I'm obsessed with it! Sadly I did not find anywhere selling a digital copy (believe me, I looked everywhere!) Maybe you could contact sandnesgarn customer service and ask?
@@apt.atelier yesss I am never really into knitting books or magazines because there is usually just one or two patterns I love but this one has sooo many! Thanks for the answer I am going to see if I can get it shipped someway here in the middle of nowhere where I live! hahah. Enjoy the book and will be looking forward to see what you knit from it!
I do have this sweater in my queue that is similar! www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ralph-zippy-jumper
@@apt.atelier ohhhh yeeeeiii thank you so much! looks beautiful!! I am doing Petite Knit´s zipper sweater man for my boyfriend but didn´t want a raglan one for myself. This one with the saddle shoulder looks amazing. And I am thinking maybe doing the neck in stockinette stitch so it looks more like the gia one... So excited!! thank you again!
Aros sweater: I am wondering if your raglan stitches got very tight at the raglans when you started increasing every round on page 6 of the pattern? i am totally perplexed by this.
I didn't have an issue! I just have to be mindful about making my increase stitches loose in general, but I didn't really notice anything particular on that spot.
How do you store your sweaters?
Just folded and stacked in my closet! When it's too warm for them, I keep them in plastic tubs or bags out of sight.
@@apt.atelier thank you. I am struggling with storage. I make almost all of my clothing and found moths had eaten my wool pants! I thought storing in plastic containers would work to prevent moth holes but I was wrong. Now I am freaking out about my sweaters, many of which I mended last year
@@edinacole6382 that is so devastating! It might be time for a cedar chest!
How are the lopi Socks holding up ?
So far they are perfect! I mostly wear them around the house, but they have been awesome with no holes or serious felting.
