Seconding others on (hand) sewing grosgrain ribbon over the steeked edge - nothing to it, just make sure the sweater is well blocked. The burgundy sweater seems to fit like a dream, great job there. It's my 1st time watching your podcast so part of the fun was deciding what your accent told about your native language, and I'm guessing... Spanish? Probably way off, but still fun to try to guess😄 "Back in my t-shirt glory"😂
Yay!!!! Italian from Venice 🦁thanks so much for watching my podcast!!! Hope you enjoyed it, and thanks a lot both for the tip and the kind compliment! Warms my heart ❤️
Five of my most favourite passions are: knitting, fashion, books, travel and art so your videos seem to be tailored to my loves. However, I love your content whatever you find to talk about and find your channel one of my favourite go-to’s. Keep doing what you do Sam
@@irishfarmart Exactly! Kitters living in Ireland. I noticed that you’re really good at drawing too! I love drawing as well! I also have a UA-cam channel so feel free to check out my knitting podcast! I took a break for a while, but I just started uploading videos again this week
Your Billie Sweater is a knockout!! Love the color, too. Sari Nordlund has so many beautiful designs, I just made two of them this summer, the Poet Tee and the Ballard Tee. More are in my future! Thanks for an interesting and entertaining episode.😊
Still obsessed with that Burgundy Billy. You can use a bias tape to cover the raw edges of your cardigan. Also that black sweater... amazing. If it's by Birger, its gonna be good.
Kind of I did…it’s not been all and all solely dedicated to myself but it helped to stop social media for a while…though I missed the interaction with the knitting community
I always enjoy your knitting content and your stories about growing up, but was really happy to have some book talk this time. I love Gogol.. I think he is extremely funny and a very wise commentator on human nature! Fun watching you paint too! Glad you’re back
@@irishfarmart Oh and also thank you for the Amsterdam footage! It’s loovely, I wish I could go 😍 I didn’t know their Pride happened in August? It’s in August too here in Montreal :)
sam - ribbon, ribbon, ribbon for that sweater raw edge. can be grosgrain or bias tape... just make sure you measure the length needed AND pin it in place while the sweater is hanging. either on a hanger, or a sewing form. it will measure longer than if you just try it while the sweater is laying flat. roxanne richardson and suzanne bryan (both here on YT) have tutorials about doing this. good luck!
Welcome back!! Summer’s almost over, so, crafting season is commencing. Currently alternating between knitting (novice) and leather work (experienced). I find that knitting gets a bit monotonous so switching to leather work helps me rejuvenate a bit. Love your podcasts!!!!
Hi Sam nice to see you Absolutely love the jumper you are wearing a perfect fit an I also love the cardi an the navy you have started you will be alright for winter to keep warm as for covering the rough edge on your cardi can only think of sewing some sort of material tape over am sure you will think of a way or your subscribers may know a solution for you Amsterdam looks very nice sort of old worldly an glad you had a good time but nice to see you back take care ❤
Definitely so…I find that there’s nothing like the description of the environment and characters as these eastern authors…also the way the characters speak to each other…I wonder if it was like that in that society or something that Gogol and gang just made up
@@irishfarmart as eastern European I can tell you Gogol's description of a society is a caricature, but not that far from the truth really! Especially when it comes to dialogs between servants and their employer's. Of course it's also a product of it's time so that's something to take in consideration.
@@irishfarmart I would definitely recommend "With fire and sword" which is a historical novel, part of a trilogy happening in 1640 during Cossack Revolt. It' packed with action and there's some humour (Mr Zagloba is an icon in Poland). There's also a movie available for free on UA-cam with english subtitles which I highly recommend.
Hi Sam. I have t steeked anything yet, but have been trying to be brave enough to try a steeked cardigan. I have seen a lot of Nordic sweaters with a ribbon covering the ends. Here’s a quick video that shows the result- ua-cam.com/video/f2a6rfmaOR8/v-deo.htmlsi=pFkbraqEFleUFFtt. Maybe Google putting ribbon over a steel and see a more detailed video. I am so glad to see you back. Loved the travel updates and your Billie pullover is spectacular! The color and the fit and the texture, wow!

Ah, Italian! Not too far off? I'm Portuguese, by the way.

Thanks so much!!!! I think for us knitters books fit in super well!
You are a wonderful artist, Sam. 🎨🧶
Thank you so much 😀
I am a Korean knitter living in Ireland and I’m so excited to have found your channel!
Oh thanks so so much for checking out my channel!!!! I would say we share a lot of the same experiences being expats living in Ireland 😁

Oh thank you! I am a big fan of Sari Nordlund for sure!!!!!
You’ll love the count of monte cristo! I return to re read it now and then and imagine it’s so much better in the original Italian!
Oh I really hope it’s as good as I picture it!!!! Hopefully not too difficult to read
I use ribbon over the edge.
Thanks for the tip!!!

Definitely that! Love his patterns so much!!!
Sew some cute ribbon over the steek to cover it.
That’s a great option! Thanks for sharing
So glad you're back we missed you... You can use biais tape to finish your inside seam. sewn by hand of course.. goodluck
Thanks for the tip!!!!! Super helpful
Great to spend some with you x
So glad! So so happy I m finally back
The Burgundy jumper is just gorgeous
Thanks so much
Hi Sam, I thought you were going to take a break ❤ Look after yourself.
Kind of I did…it’s not been all and all solely dedicated to myself but it helped to stop social media for a while…though I missed the interaction with the knitting community

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for the kind message!!!! It makes my podcast worth the effort! Also sharing the admiration for Gogol
Your burgundy cable sweater is so gorgeous Sam. It fits you so well. And what luck to be in Amsterdam on Pride festivities. It looks like lots of fun.
Oh thank you! Also Amsterdam was really really beautiful and so much fun too
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Nice to see you Sam 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏾💋💙💙
oh thank you!!!!
@@irishfarmartlove the burgundy jumper. It suits you
@@reannejarvis9464yeah I think I found (luckily) a good size spot
Nice work on your red Billie! First time seing you in this colour, if I remember correctly. It suits you! :)
Oh thank you! Yeah, it was a surprise for me too…really never had any red pieces of clothing…
@@irishfarmart Oh and also thank you for the Amsterdam footage! It’s loovely, I wish I could go 😍 I didn’t know their Pride happened in August? It’s in August too here in Montreal :)
@@brucemooney1277oh really?!? Didn’t know that! It’s lovely month to host pride! It’s nice in the summer…so much more fun ☀️☀️☀️
@@irishfarmart Did you prefer Rome or Amsterdam? :)
@@brucemooney1277ohhh how can I answer that 😂
Yay, a new Sam video 😊
ehehe it was about time

Wonderful! I have always had a thing for leather work! One day perhaps I ll take it on too!! Just need more hours in a day 😂
Hi Sam nice to see you
Absolutely love the jumper you are wearing a perfect fit an I also love the cardi an the navy you have started you will be alright for winter to keep warm
as for covering the rough edge on your cardi can only think of sewing some sort of material tape over am sure you will think of a way or your subscribers may know a solution for you
Amsterdam looks very nice sort of old worldly an glad you had a good time but nice to see you back take care ❤
Well…I was coming to that conclusion as well…maybe some ribbons of sorts or some bias binding kept flat in the top of the rough edges
👍🌟
😍😍😌
I'd love a round neck jumper like this, but i can't knit
😂 well there’s always time to learn
@@irishfarmart i have tried
It takes time for sure! But I am sure you can do it!!!!
I read the lost souls recently! It's quite bizarre, but then it picks up near the end. It's also funny, but it takes a bit to get used to the humour.
Definitely so…I find that there’s nothing like the description of the environment and characters as these eastern authors…also the way the characters speak to each other…I wonder if it was like that in that society or something that Gogol and gang just made up

@@margharetifythat is so interesting!!!! Would so much love to learn more….any other books you would recommend me????
