I really like the ankers sweater and the minimalist cable cardigan :)) currently, I am knitting the spill the beans sweater by drops garn studio, also knitting an i-cord on a mitered squares baby blanket for my grandbaby, and just started the sofie sweater top by drops... and now I need to knit 2 cowls for 2 girls bc I gifted my zumba instructor a crocheted cowl and her daughters love it! LOL luckily, I have some of the same yarn :)) God is good!
Hello Selma! I absolutely adore all your knitting shenanigans. I agree - the Granite sweater somehow looks like it fits! I would certainly give it a try. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
Hi Selma! Thank you for sharing your knits! It is always an inspiration. I am a novice sweater knitter and I really look forward to your workshop in New Mexico. The footage of Sting made me nostalgic as well 🙂
Loved the podcast and loved the Sting footage. I have a DVD of a private concert he gave at his home in Tuscany on 9/11. The disaster had just happened and rather than cancel, he performed. I think the world needed a little Sting at that point! It is haunting, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. I just added the Granit cardigan to my list. Exactly what I was looking for, and I can't wait to cast on.
Ah Selma, I am totally with you there in our love for Sting and the Police. How great that he returned to all the old songs, as he has moved through many different types of music since then. Sting comes from my part of England, and he did a lovely Christmas Concert in Durham Cathedral (about 25 miles from where I live). I have the DVD and bring it out every year now at Christmas time. Your video at the lake was beautiful...... and the knitting content too of course!
It was great spending time with you again. That is beautiful yarn...I think either the Ilha or Poetria would be awesome and have some great stitch definition. In fact, I added the Poetria to my favorites. Loved all of the footage at the end
Thank you again for best knitting entertainment... it was a pleasure to spend time with you on the sofa. Actually I just started a new version of my "Austern" cardi made from a Lana Grossa yarn called Ecopuno in a sweet and lush apple green. Lana Grossa had featured me and two of my design in their latest issue of "Beloved knits". We have a day off here in Germany today so I hope to get some progress done on it.
Thanks for keeping me company this afternoon dear Selma 🥰 Your Eweknit sweater is beautiful. I order from their store quite regularly although I've never been there in person yet. I'm making a stripey version of the April Cardigan and it's got an interesting, compound raglan (I think that's the name) construction. Best of luck with your workshop prep--you'll do great! 🤗💕
Thank you for yet another wonderful episode. I loved the segment on trying to choose a pattern for your lovely wool. I go through this process every time I acquire new wool. I actually liked all your options and have a number of them in my 'favourites' on Ravelry, but I think I came down on the PetiteKnits "April" Cardigan, so neat and classic, or the Kate Davies "Sarkle". I'm sure whatever you choose it will be lovely. Best wishes from Australia.
One vote for Anker's cardigan! But whatever you knit to yourself it will look classic and stunning! I'm glad also for the Nordic kal. By the way,Maria K:s Mimmi-sweater would also suit you well. I wish you safe journeys to NM and later to Spain,enjoy!❤
I am about to cast on the Ankers summer T, late for the season, but I run hit, so lighter sweaters are my go to. Kim and Jonna are running a Petite Knit KAL, so you would be in good company with the Ankers. That being said, the Ilha looks lovely too and I have now added more sweaters to my wish list. Lol! The new yarns you mentioned look wonderful. I will pretend I didn’t see them- must knit my stash, must knit my stash, must knit my stash. Lol! Have fun on your travel adventures! I look forward to hearing about them and enjoying vicarious travel.
I love the first pullover! I'm using the Ilha pattern side cables and hem on a Vanilla Sweater now, so the top is plain. I may make one in the future using the pretty yoke design. The cable on the side "seams" is a simple one but oh-so-lovely! Whatever you choose will be stunning. The color of your wool...❤
Hi from Australia. Love ur podcast. My suggestion for BFL yarn is CABLES!!! As an example, if you compare Merino & BFL fibres (under microscope) the merino fibres are crimped, so has little zig-zags all the way along & both longer and shorter fibres in terms of staple length. BFL staple length and fibre length is longer and the fibre is coiled & forms a little spiral. Result is different properties for each and good for different things. Merino is generally soft and if a garment has cables as part of design, pattern/cables will generally soften as a result of washing/wear etc. BFL cabling is very distinct in comparison and will continue to attract/draw the eye. So my suggestion to you for your BFL garment is the Artisane Cardigan by Sandnes Design published in Sandnes 2308 DIY (Vol 1) held together with SG Tynn Silk Mohair (as suggested by pattern). Check Ravelry for pattern details. Whatever your preference, please take advantage of the properties/scope available when using this yarn. Looking forward to your next podcast and final choice with this project.
Hi Selma, thank you for another great episode! I think you have a nice selection of beautiful patterns to choose from for such a beautiful yarn. All of the options you mentioned are lovely! While listening to your podcast, I’m currently working on my Easy V sweater by Caitlin Hunter. I wish you happy and safe travels! 🩷
Hello Selma. Good to catch up with you and the footage of the cottage at the end was beautiful. So serene and a looks like wonderful spot to sit and knit. Sting still sounds great and must try and get to see him one day. I am knitting on 3 projects, a cardi Flower Power by Anna Johanna, for my sister, which has had me tearing my hair out. I have to frog all the colour work that I’ve have done as it looks huge😢 Not the patterns fault but my own. Also taking part in MKAL by Stephen West, and of course always pair of Vanilla socks to take along on outings. Think the Petit Knit jumper would look lovely in your EK BFL. Hope your workshop goes well and you have a great time in beautiful Barcelona. Safe travels❤
What a treat it was to sit and knit along with you on this blustery fall day here in Calgary (I'm working on my first Felix Pullover). You certainly got my attention saying that the Lamana Como could potentially be your new favourite yarn depending on how it wears. Very curious about this outcome, as it reminds me of Ulysse... which is a desert island yarn for me. The fog swim and loon encounter sounds absolutely dreamlike and mystical. GORGEOUS footage of the cottage and EweKnit. OMG! I must go there wow wow! Thanks for sharing so many beautiful options with the Erika Knight BFL. For what it's worth: I think the Granite Cardigan would be a solid choice in its classic simplicity, while allowing the gorgeous yarn to steal the show. Speaking of stealing the show - STING! He's still got it.
😘😘😘 hello my dear!! Sting was amazing!!! I have some Ulysses but have yet to try it. I would agree that they are similar, so let’s see!! Swimming in the fog felt like a once in a lifetime occurrence!
Hi Selma! Another lovely episode ❤. I am knitting too many projects: Oslo hat; mini mock tank; DRK everyday cowl; Great Love Cardigan, Sweater #19 and the Summer camp socks😮😮😮😮😊😊 I love all the patterns but my favorite is the April Cardigan. It will give you a simple experience that will let you learn a little 😊
I love so much Kate Davies. I've knitted several of her designs and from the SARK book the Smookie and also the Sarkle, they turned out really beautiful. I'm sure you will make the best decision for your pullover / cardigan. Best wishes for the workshop and also for Barcelona Knits. Greetings from the Mexican in Budapest.
Thanks for another wonderful video full of great projects. All the sweaters and cardigans are stunning, maybe you have to roll the dice. The Sophie scarf is on my needles, I enjoy knitting it. Greetings from Germany
My name is Riad and I am based in Vancouver BC. I spent this summer watching all of your episodes from 84 back to your first one. And I subscribed to your channel today. We have a lot in common. I would love to share my story with you.
GM Selma Your knits are beautiful Always !!! Can’t wait to see what you are going to create with this blue yarn which is going to be stunning with your eyes That Rita pattern is beautiful 😊💝🇨🇦
I am always amazed by your beautiful knits. Sweaters still intimidate me. I think you should knit the Ilha sweater with your beautiful BFL yarn. I really think it would showcase it nicely. I wish I were going to the New Mexico retreat but I didn’t find out about it in time to budget for it. New Mexico is so lovely this time of year.
Great video! I like the second sweater. My daughter teaches ESL. She lives in Mexico. -She is Polish and Irish. She loves the Spanish language. We call her dictionario . She constantly tells us which spanish words are only used in Mexico. What words other Spanish speaking countries use instead of the word that Mexico uses. It's muy interesante ! I enjoy your videos , I live in NJ close to Freehold , Where Bruce Springsteen grew up. I really like Sting. I saw him in concert in96? . At the Garden State Arts center 20 minutes from my house!
That test knit sweater is just beautiful. I saw it on Instagram. I have some sport weight yarn that would really work for that. It's hard to decide with so many gorgeous patterns out there. I really enjoyed your post.
I vote Ilya pullover. What’s on my needles - a fairisle vest for my husband (who promises he’ll wear it). It’s in a book I have had on my self for several years. Folk Vesttsd buy Cheryl Obnerle. The one I am making is Lichen Waistcoast with Palette yarn from Knit Picks in similar colours as in the book. I have a stash of yarn to make the same pattern in blues. That is all I have as active but so many ideas with the yarn purchased that I could not mentioned here. I have finally bought some samples of Holst Garn in Super Soft and I am making a scarf for my hubby too. I new love of mine. I purchased some Titicaca and I have a swatch done with some fine J & S cone of yarn I have in a denim color. So little time and so many ideas. And I’m retired. 😮 Just another fanatic knitter here in Ottawa.
Like your choice of Lamana Como, the colour is fabulous! I recently made a cowl with Lamana Premia, which is the Silk Mohair - it knits up so beautifully, and isn't even a bit itchy! So, another Lamana Fan here - only it's a little bit costly confronting it with other commercial yarns, even here in Europe. But I will surely use some of their yarn again. Love your podcast, always :)!
I did the fairy tale socks in point prim that you mentioned some time ago. I am at the prince Edward fiber festival and got to show them to fleece and harmony as the point prim in blue is what I used . Hope no new knitter used this pattern as so many mistakes. Yarn beautiful. Weather here so warm( storm on the way). Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful projects and hope the trips go well for you.
Definitely Poetria, i think the Ankers sweater is just a bit too plain for that gorgeous yarn. Thank you so much for another really enjoyable podcast and so many lovely pattern ideas. I have knit two Minimalist cardigans which i absolutely love. At present i am working on my second Flora sweater by Irene Lin, who has just brought out a most beautiful cardigan pattern. Her patterns are so beautiful and very feminine, good luck with your decision x
I just found your channel. Hello from a former resident of Ottawa. I have also done sashiko stitching mixed in with my knitting. You remind me that I should finish my stitching. Thank you.
Hi Selma. I'm currently working on a test knit for NZ designer Libby Johnson who has Truly Myrtle knitting patterns. This design is Coorie a shawl with a plaid effect from stitch detail & colourwork rows. We are heading into summer & I currently have the Ilha pattern at the head of my queue to make as a tee in a linen blend. Your Erika Knight yarn is glorious. My vote is the Ilha Sweater followed by the April Cardigan. Thank you for sharing some of the Sting concert. He still sounds the same all these years later. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
I empathize with your feelings of joy and sadness, comingling at the Sting concert. I sense that I am in the same age range as you and I have to say that more and more I am seized by a kind of nostalgia that is more grief than anything else, perhaps because I feel the past so distantly and yet so viscerally. Not sure if it's an age and stage thing or a post-covid outcome... FWIW, I've been philosophically grappling with loss/death/decay my whole life (and my life is very lovely on balance, this is just how I roll). These days, however, that wave of sadness can sometimes overwhelm. xo
It certainly sounds like we are experiencing this stage in a very similar way!! Thank you for sharing that. It made me feel like I’m not the only super emotional person around town!!
Catching up with you today, knitting an elongated triangular shawl in my handspun red merino with a heart lace motif. Ghost Ranch! Fabulous place- I was lucky to stay there overnight on a tour before Convergence in ABQ a few years ago. Have a great time there and in Spain too. I always enjoy your podcasts.
Ah thank you for the little snippets of Sting. :) Your footage of the foggy lake reminded me of a trip to Vietnam. We stayed a couple of nights on a very basic house boat of a huge lake, and the early mornings in the fog were just magical. I'm all for simple knits at the moment, but I have bought wool for an all over cable jumper: the wool is a gorgeous irish donegal tweed in the wildflowers colourway. Neutral main yarn with the most lovely colourful tweedy nubs. I havent done cables for years, but how hard can it be eh?!
That would have been a sight in Vietnam!! Thank you for sharing that! Cables are not hard at all but they are slow and require attention so you have to be in the mood!
I love the Ilha, Poetria, and the cardigans. So pretty! I'm knitting a cowl, and trying to figure out what sweater I'm casting on next. All the best, Selma! - Kimberly
I loved both of the projects chosen by your non-knitting friend. The pullover and the cardigan are both great and would really show off your lovely yarn gits.
Such beautiful knits and patterns to chose from!!! The Eweknit Toronto sweater is gorgeous! I had the same realization when I was listening to Pink Floyd, I saw them in Vancouver BC in 1994............ ugh, how did I get this old!!!!! 😢😂😂😂
I love the Violeta! I have been searching Rav for pullover patterns for some special yarn. I put it in my favorites yesterday and was happy to see yours today! 🤗
And just to add, after seeing your pattern choices (I’m sure any would be lovely), I thought I’d add one to check out. Mariechen by Isabell Kraemer. I really enjoyed it and it went rather quickly, too! Can’t wait to see what you end up with!
Your Violetta looks great, love the pattern and the color. Looking at the projects, you were clearly not the only one forgetting the extra cables when increasing ;). I completely get what you're saying about alternating involved projects with simple ones. i usually have them side by side. Now working on the Birch Pullover for myself and Gibs II for my partner, boh by Andrea Mowry. Birch takes forever, but I really like the knitting rhythm of half fisherman's rib. Thanks for your podcast!
Love the Sara vest and yes, those stepped shoulders were not good and that’s when I learned how to do Kitchener. Love all your ideas… impossible to choose! Sadly no projects this week. I’m catching up on all my recent knits that got kicked to the curb because they need to be modified in some way (sleeves too short, body too short, bind-offs too tight, unfinished linen lace scarf). This will happily close out all my summer linen/cotton knits so I can’t finally move back to WOOL❣️
Dear Selma, thanks a lot for your inspirations. I have Erika Knight BFL and tried to knit a Fair Isle pattern with it but it worked out not so good. Now I will have a look if the Granite Cardigan will be an option 😊. Best regards and have a nice time with your Workshop. Brigitte
I’m knitting my first Ranunculus! I remember seeing the Police perform in December 1980 in a circus tent pitched on Tooting Common in London. I don’t know how we weren’t all crushed to death when they opened the tent flaps to let us out at the end. No health and safety then. My feet didn’t even touch the ground - terrifying. Good concert though. 😅
I love the Ilha sweater. It’s totally new to me so maybe that’s why I like it so much. I just need to finish sewing on some buttons for Corran sweater and decide if my sleeves are a tad too long, but otherwise I just love it. I was intimidated by a lace garment but it was actually fun it knit and not too complicated for me. I saw Sting in Germany in 1991. Love his music and I’m so glad you got to see him again. Who cares that it’s been 30 years.
So many beautiful sweater options. The Ilha is in my queue as well. You cracked me up with your David Linnhagen comment. The whole town knows his name by the end of the movie 😂. So many good nostalgia vibes with the Sting footage. My first concert was The Police who were touring with The Fixx and The Flock of Seagulls. I had just got my drivers license and crammed all my friends in and drove to Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts to see the show.
As I mentioned in my comment on your last episode, I love the 2 Ilha sweaters I have made. I also love my Sarkle sweater. To throw a spanner in the works - have you seen the Glacier Ridge sweater? I have ordered a pale grey-blue yarn and that will be my next knit. It is gorgeous! I hope your retreat goes really well! Anyone going is very lucky indeed!
Hello Selma how wonderful to see you again. Always very interesting listening to you and seeing your beautiful knitting. Just a quick question Selma - do you ever knit a garment in the flat mode and not the round? I’m an old school knitter and I do knit socks but I prefer jumpers and cardigans etc in the flat mode. I love everything you knit and love the sweater you are wearing - very comfortable and such a beautiful pattern. Thank you for your great podcasts Selma - I really enjoy them 💕
I’m binding off the sleeves on my Eva cardigan, knit with beautiful cranberry colored Rambouillet/merino yarn that I bought from the farmer at a farmer’s market in Maine. His wife dyed the yarn, which was spun locally. 🥰
Hi, thank you for your episode! I hope you enjoyed the eclipse today in New Mexico, I think you are very near the perfect location to see the Ring of Fire. I think your yarn would be beautiful in the 2109-08 Kelly sweater or the Thea Colman. I realize the Kelly sweater is not like any of the choices that you made, but I think you would look fantastic in it.
I really like the minimalist cardigan but I was hesitant to make it because it's seamed. I'm looking at the options myself. I just finished Morning in Engelberg out of Erika Knight Wild Wool. It is boxy and I cropped it a little. I will definitely wear it. You might want to take a look at that pattern. It's got some texture and interest, but it's quite an easy knit.
Right now working on a crocheted holiday throw. Also on needles actively Joji Tromso hat and a pair of vanilla socks. Just finished a modified Coloring Book Raglan.
New subbie from a new knit podcaster. I subscribed at first because your cat looks very similar to mine! I stayed for the lovely patterns. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for the lovely episode and bonus Sting concert footage! My vote for the beautiful blue yarn would be the Ilha. I’m currently working on the Semper sweater in Knitting for Olive. Hopefully the weather will cooldown enough so I can wear it here in Alabama!
I wish I were going to your NM retreat since it feels like my state doesn’t have too much for knitters. However, I will be in Rhinebeck! I’m working on my last sweaters for that weekend: The Field Day Cardigan by Ozetta and the Moonset Tee. My vote for you is the Ilha. I have in mind to buy a lot of yarn for vNeck cardigans. One I love that doesn’t get much attention is the Vodka Straight Up by Thea Colman.
I think the Ruta would look great in purple looking forward to seeing you knit that. I agree the snooki does look good in cream. I live about hour and half from Barcelona. It was 26 degrees today everyone is still in summer dresses and very light trousers. If that helps your packing decisions for Barcelona Knits. I was just down in Barcelona last week I went to yarn shop Miss Kits and bought one of their Steve West MKALS kits which was Belle Amie yarn. Would love to go to my first yarn festival but currently tiring my best to clear my needles before starting the Steve West. I just learned how to split for sleeves and now I can finally move onto the body of my LePouf cardigan. But I did cast on the Winter League sweater by Two of Wands.
❤ A lovely, lovely episode again. Your podcast is always a joy to watch. Thank you for that. ❤ What I am knitting on today is the last bit of the second sock that I make for my, nearly 4 year old, granddaughter, Elsa Socks. Ofcourse this by special request received by a little video. Granny can you please make Elsa Socks for me???? 😍😍 Who can say no? My next knit wil be a cardigan for my DH. That will be a modified Willafjord Collared Henley by Susanne Daun. A challenging project in many ways, 🤞 but again a request that I couldn't ignore 😅❤️
Hi Selma. I have really enjoyed your podcast and all your beautiful makes! Can’t wait to see what you decide to knit with that beautiful yarn. Hasta pronto!
I know that sense of sad nostalgia well - I felt that way when I saw Chicago in concert here in Winnipeg a few years ago. Maybe it has something to do with the old rockers slipping away one by one. Console yourself with knitting I say lol!!
I love your last 3 cardigan suggestions. I am have knitted the field day cardigan, jacket no. 1 and eva cardigan. All using DK yarns. I am choosing from these patterns, maybe you'll find them interesting. Bindweed cardigan, Mouliné cardigan and Auguste cardigan.
Hi Selma. Thanks for another lovely podcast. I just started knitting the Utopia pullover from Laine magazine #17. It's a raglan with a pretty lace and cable detail and it's knit in fingering at a loose gauge, which I've never done before. I'm enjoying how quick it's knitting up.
Right now I'm knitting the Koyamae by Joanna Ang in Nutiden Önska and Kidsilk perlrose. It's a joy to knit, because it feels so squishy, cuddly and fluffy. I've already knit the Ilha in a dark caramell colored wool I have on a cone. I enjoyed knitting it very much, even though I kind of struggled with the recommended way of constructing the neckline. After quite a bit of back and forth I ended up doing a usual one with one right one left for a few cm before doing a italian bind off. I also really love to wear it. Even wore it on cold evenings in summer. Sometimes you have wool and almost immediately know what to cast on and sometimes the decision is really hard, because you just want to knit all the things with it. I can very much relate to that. Also, if I want an easy knit, I usually prefer pullovers to cardigans... and like you do aswell, top down to bottom up. Thank you for your wonderful podcast! Unfortunately I don't comment as much as I should, but it's always a pleasure to watch. Have a good time with your travels coming up soon! Love from Germany, Andrea
The nutiden mohair combination is like a cloud to wear! So light and airy!! It’s so true re project choice with certain yarn being so evident and other times it just takes forever to decide!! Always lovely to hear from you!! No pressure! 😊😊
All of your possible sweater choices are beautiful and would look beautiful in that yarn. But I think that the Ilha is so similar to the Ranunculus you are wearing that you should do one of the others. I know that the yarn weight is different, but you have quite a few ranunculus sweaters with a similar yoke, so if it were me I would do one of the others.
Thank you for the trip down memory lane with the clips from the Sting concert, sang all those songs on the way to a weekend of skiing at Grey Rocks. Whatever you pick to knit with the blue yard it will be beautiful. I think your first choice is the best one just my opinion. Thanks for the wonderful pod cast as usual.
Enjoyed every second, Selma!!! Thanks so much. Anker is probably an ideal choice but all the sweaters and cardigans you shared are truly beautiful. I’ m about to finish Baigneuses, a summer top by Emilie Luis. It’s still very not here in Spain. See you soon 💌
You already have a light blue cardigan. the Corran Cardigan, but is is not a V neck. I love the Granite Cardigan, the April Cardigan and also the Minimalist Cable Cardigan in the short version. So much choice ... I quite like the Soss cardigan, do you read Norwegian ? The Anker sweater is a great one, I made one in burgundy and it is a go to. I just finished the Happy to see ewe cowl for the PEI Fiber Festival, going back to my short sleeve Vanilla Affogato by Thea Colman, just in case the temperature is warm in the classes. Thanks for the video at the end.
Hi Selma, I am working on my v neck cardigan by Ozetta; the field day cardigan,and it is super easy as you knit the neck back along with the body, so it is done! Good luck choosing the right pattern for your BFL. Take care, Melissa.British Columbia
Thank you, Selma, for the Sting concert ❤! And for bringing us along your search for a pattern for this beautiful yarn! Ilha is now on my mind!
I love your project bags :)) I sew my own as well :))
I love your footage of Sting. I had all LP's from "The Police" when I was young. Seeing this took me back in time. Thank you Selma
I always enjoy your podcasts! Thanks much!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I really like the ankers sweater and the minimalist cable cardigan :)) currently, I am knitting the spill the beans sweater by drops garn studio, also knitting an i-cord on a mitered squares baby blanket for my grandbaby, and just started the sofie sweater top by drops... and now I need to knit 2 cowls for 2 girls bc I gifted my zumba instructor a crocheted cowl and her daughters love it! LOL luckily, I have some of the same yarn :)) God is good!
Hello Selma! I absolutely adore all your knitting shenanigans. I agree - the Granite sweater somehow looks like it fits! I would certainly give it a try. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Hi Selma! Thank you for sharing your knits! It is always an inspiration. I am a novice sweater knitter and I really look forward to your workshop in New Mexico. The footage of Sting made me nostalgic as well 🙂
Oooh I will look forward to meeting you!!
Thanks for your lovely video.
Definitely the Ilha. It will be so nice in the yarn.
Thanks for footage 🤩
Minimalist sweater I like that one. Happy knitting
Thanks for the vote!
Oh my. So many choices. The Anker and Ilha are on my list. Great choices!! I love the granite cardigan too.
Yay! Thank you!
Selma, you are such a pleasure to hang out with…..thank you.
Thank you so much Karen! You are a pleasure to have here!
thanks for sharing the names of sweaters :))
Loved the podcast and loved the Sting footage. I have a DVD of a private concert he gave at his home in Tuscany on 9/11. The disaster had just happened and rather than cancel, he performed. I think the world needed a little Sting at that point! It is haunting, but in a good way, if that makes any sense.
I just added the Granit cardigan to my list. Exactly what I was looking for, and I can't wait to cast on.
Glad you enjoyed the footage! I wondered if maybe it’s just my own private obsession 😂
Ah Selma, I am totally with you there in our love for Sting and the Police. How great that he returned to all the old songs, as he has moved through many different types of music since then. Sting comes from my part of England, and he did a lovely Christmas Concert in Durham Cathedral (about 25 miles from where I live). I have the DVD and bring it out every year now at Christmas time. Your video at the lake was beautiful...... and the knitting content too of course!
He said he lives about a mile from Stonehenge and that we should drop by!! I may have to take him up on that 😂
@@littlebigknits Ah yes, he does live in Wiltshire now - plus Italy, the U. S. and probably more places too!
It was great spending time with you again. That is beautiful yarn...I think either the Ilha or Poetria would be awesome and have some great stitch definition. In fact, I added the Poetria to my favorites. Loved all of the footage at the end
Sounds great! Thanks!!
Thank you again for best knitting entertainment... it was a pleasure to spend time with you on the sofa. Actually I just started a new version of my "Austern" cardi made from a Lana Grossa yarn called Ecopuno in a sweet and lush apple green. Lana Grossa had featured me and two of my design in their latest issue of "Beloved knits". We have a day off here in Germany today so I hope to get some progress done on it.
Thank you so much Silke 😘😘 and that is really great news about your work with Lana Grosa!!
Thanks for keeping me company this afternoon dear Selma 🥰 Your Eweknit sweater is beautiful. I order from their store quite regularly although I've never been there in person yet. I'm making a stripey version of the April Cardigan and it's got an interesting, compound raglan (I think that's the name) construction. Best of luck with your workshop prep--you'll do great! 🤗💕
Thank you so much for spending time with me Nikki 😘😘 thanks for your vote of confidence 😊😊
Thank you for yet another wonderful episode. I loved the segment on trying to choose a pattern for your lovely wool. I go through this process every time I acquire new wool. I actually liked all your options and have a number of them in my 'favourites' on Ravelry, but I think I came down on the PetiteKnits "April" Cardigan, so neat and classic, or the Kate Davies "Sarkle". I'm sure whatever you choose it will be lovely. Best wishes from Australia.
One vote for Anker's cardigan! But whatever you knit to yourself it will look classic and stunning! I'm glad also for the Nordic kal. By the way,Maria K:s Mimmi-sweater would also suit you well.
I wish you safe journeys to NM and later to Spain,enjoy!❤
Thank you!! I will consider her Mimmi sweater!
I am about to cast on the Ankers summer T, late for the season, but I run hit, so lighter sweaters are my go to. Kim and Jonna are running a Petite Knit KAL, so you would be in good company with the Ankers. That being said, the Ilha looks lovely too and I have now added more sweaters to my wish list. Lol! The new yarns you mentioned look wonderful. I will pretend I didn’t see them- must knit my stash, must knit my stash, must knit my stash. Lol! Have fun on your travel adventures! I look forward to hearing about them and enjoying vicarious travel.
I saw Sting in Copenhagen last year. Fantastic experience 😊 so thank you for sharing from your concert. It brings back nice memories.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing Sting!!
I love the first pullover! I'm using the Ilha pattern side cables and hem on a Vanilla Sweater now, so the top is plain. I may make one in the future using the pretty yoke design. The cable on the side "seams" is a simple one but oh-so-lovely! Whatever you choose will be stunning. The color of your wool...❤
Great idea!!
Love your video s and this song
Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi Selma, thank you for another great episode! I think you have a nice selection of beautiful patterns to choose from for such a beautiful yarn. All of the options you mentioned are lovely! While listening to your podcast, I’m currently working on my Easy V sweater by Caitlin Hunter. I wish you happy and safe travels! 🩷
Thank you! 😊
Hello Selma. Good to catch up with you and the footage of the cottage at the end was beautiful. So serene and a looks like wonderful spot to sit and knit. Sting still sounds great and must try and get to see him one day. I am knitting on 3 projects, a cardi Flower Power by Anna Johanna, for my sister, which has had me tearing my hair out. I have to frog all the colour work that I’ve have done as it looks huge😢 Not the patterns fault but my own. Also taking part in MKAL by Stephen West, and of course always pair of Vanilla socks to take along on outings. Think the Petit Knit jumper would look lovely in your EK BFL. Hope your workshop goes well and you have a great time in beautiful Barcelona. Safe travels❤
What a treat it was to sit and knit along with you on this blustery fall day here in Calgary (I'm working on my first Felix Pullover). You certainly got my attention saying that the Lamana Como could potentially be your new favourite yarn depending on how it wears. Very curious about this outcome, as it reminds me of Ulysse... which is a desert island yarn for me. The fog swim and loon encounter sounds absolutely dreamlike and mystical. GORGEOUS footage of the cottage and EweKnit. OMG! I must go there wow wow! Thanks for sharing so many beautiful options with the Erika Knight BFL. For what it's worth: I think the Granite Cardigan would be a solid choice in its classic simplicity, while allowing the gorgeous yarn to steal the show. Speaking of stealing the show - STING! He's still got it.
😘😘😘 hello my dear!! Sting was amazing!!! I have some Ulysses but have yet to try it. I would agree that they are similar, so let’s see!! Swimming in the fog felt like a once in a lifetime occurrence!
Hi Selma! Another lovely episode ❤. I am knitting too many projects: Oslo hat; mini mock tank; DRK everyday cowl; Great Love Cardigan, Sweater #19 and the Summer camp socks😮😮😮😮😊😊
I love all the patterns but my favorite is the April Cardigan. It will give you a simple experience that will let you learn a little 😊
Sounds great!
I love so much Kate Davies. I've knitted several of her designs and from the SARK book the Smookie and also the Sarkle, they turned out really beautiful. I'm sure you will make the best decision for your pullover / cardigan. Best wishes for the workshop and also for Barcelona Knits. Greetings from the Mexican in Budapest.
Muchas gracias!!!
Thanks for another wonderful video full of great projects. All the sweaters and cardigans are stunning, maybe you have to roll the dice. The Sophie scarf is on my needles, I enjoy knitting it. Greetings from Germany
That may just happen 😂 the Sophie scarf is a great little pattern!
My name is Riad and I am based in Vancouver BC. I spent this summer watching all of your episodes from 84 back to your first one. And I subscribed to your channel today. We have a lot in common. I would love to share my story with you.
GM Selma
Your knits are beautiful
Always !!!
Can’t wait to see what you are going to create with this blue yarn which is going to be stunning with your eyes
That Rita pattern is beautiful
😊💝🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
I am always amazed by your beautiful knits. Sweaters still intimidate me. I think you should knit the Ilha sweater with your beautiful BFL yarn. I really think it would showcase it nicely. I wish I were going to the New Mexico retreat but I didn’t find out about it in time to budget for it. New Mexico is so lovely this time of year.
It really is. It will take place next year again and I will mention it although I won’t be there most likely.
I’ve made the Ilha and it’s one of my most-worn winter sweaters. It’s engaging to knit, like the Ranunculus.
agree - now on 3 Ilha's and 8 Ran's
Great video! I like the second sweater. My daughter teaches ESL. She lives in Mexico. -She is Polish and Irish. She loves the Spanish language. We call her dictionario . She constantly tells us which spanish words are only used in Mexico. What words other Spanish speaking countries use instead of the word that Mexico uses. It's muy interesante ! I enjoy your videos , I live in NJ close to Freehold , Where Bruce Springsteen grew up. I really like Sting. I saw him in concert in96? . At the Garden State Arts center 20 minutes from my house!
Thanks for the link. On my Christmas list.xx
That test knit sweater is just beautiful. I saw it on Instagram. I have some sport weight yarn that would really work for that. It's hard to decide with so many gorgeous patterns out there.
I really enjoyed your post.
It’s very true!!
I vote Ilya pullover. What’s on my needles - a fairisle vest for my husband (who promises he’ll wear it). It’s in a book I have had on my self for several years. Folk Vesttsd buy Cheryl Obnerle. The one I am making is Lichen Waistcoast with Palette yarn from Knit Picks in similar colours as in the book. I have a stash of yarn to make the same pattern in blues. That is all I have as active but so many ideas with the yarn purchased that I could not mentioned here. I have finally bought some samples of Holst Garn in Super Soft and I am making a scarf for my hubby too. I new love of mine. I purchased some Titicaca and I have a swatch done with some fine J & S cone of yarn I have in a denim color. So little time and so many ideas. And I’m retired. 😮 Just another fanatic knitter here in Ottawa.
I’ve done both the anker summer top and sweater. Go for it, really fits with your simple and enjoyable knit criteria!
Totally agree!
Like your choice of Lamana Como, the colour is fabulous! I recently made a cowl with Lamana Premia, which is the Silk Mohair - it knits up so beautifully, and isn't even a bit itchy! So, another Lamana Fan here - only it's a little bit costly confronting it with other commercial yarns, even here in Europe. But I will surely use some of their yarn again. Love your podcast, always :)!
I look forward to trying more of their yarns!
Thank you for sharing!
I did the fairy tale socks in point prim that you mentioned some time ago. I am at the prince Edward fiber festival and got to show them to fleece and harmony as the point prim in blue is what I used . Hope no new knitter used this pattern as so many mistakes. Yarn beautiful. Weather here so warm( storm on the way). Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful projects and hope the trips go well for you.
Definitely Poetria, i think the Ankers sweater is just a bit too plain for that gorgeous yarn. Thank you so much for another really enjoyable podcast and so many lovely pattern ideas. I have knit two Minimalist cardigans which i absolutely love. At present i am working on my second Flora sweater by Irene Lin, who has just brought out a most beautiful cardigan pattern. Her patterns are so beautiful and very feminine, good luck with your decision x
Good to know. I was considering the Flora myself.
I just found your channel. Hello from a former resident of Ottawa. I have also done sashiko stitching mixed in with my knitting. You remind me that I should finish my stitching. Thank you.
Hello!!! Finishing things feels really good so I say go for it!
Great video and beautiful yarn and projects. I love ghost ranch. You'll have a wonderful retreat. Sadly, there are no yarn shops or any shops nearby.
Thank you so much!!!
Hi Selma. I'm currently working on a test knit for NZ designer Libby Johnson who has Truly Myrtle knitting patterns. This design is Coorie a shawl with a plaid effect from stitch detail & colourwork rows.
We are heading into summer & I currently have the Ilha pattern at the head of my queue to make as a tee in a linen blend.
Your Erika Knight yarn is glorious. My vote is the Ilha Sweater followed by the April Cardigan.
Thank you for sharing some of the Sting concert. He still sounds the same all these years later.
Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you Selma for this interesting podcast. I always learn something new in your podcast. I like the anker sweater and the april cardigan.
You are so welcome! And thanks to you!
Thank you for the New Episode, i ❤ your Podcast. I am finishing Eva Cardigan by petiteknit and I love the fitting. Greetings from Vienna Ulrike
Her patterns are such classics!
I empathize with your feelings of joy and sadness, comingling at the Sting concert. I sense that I am in the same age range as you and I have to say that more and more I am seized by a kind of nostalgia that is more grief than anything else, perhaps because I feel the past so distantly and yet so viscerally. Not sure if it's an age and stage thing or a post-covid outcome... FWIW, I've been philosophically grappling with loss/death/decay my whole life (and my life is very lovely on balance, this is just how I roll). These days, however, that wave of sadness can sometimes overwhelm. xo
It certainly sounds like we are experiencing this stage in a very similar way!! Thank you for sharing that. It made me feel like I’m not the only super emotional person around town!!
Catching up with you today, knitting an elongated triangular shawl in my handspun red merino with a heart lace motif. Ghost Ranch! Fabulous place- I was lucky to stay there overnight on a tour before Convergence in ABQ a few years ago. Have a great time there and in Spain too. I always enjoy your podcasts.
Hello Selma, I have knit the Ilha sweater in a fingering weight yarn and I love it. It drapes nicely.
👍🏻👍🏻
Ah thank you for the little snippets of Sting. :) Your footage of the foggy lake reminded me of a trip to Vietnam. We stayed a couple of nights on a very basic house boat of a huge lake, and the early mornings in the fog were just magical. I'm all for simple knits at the moment, but I have bought wool for an all over cable jumper: the wool is a gorgeous irish donegal tweed in the wildflowers colourway. Neutral main yarn with the most lovely colourful tweedy nubs. I havent done cables for years, but how hard can it be eh?!
That would have been a sight in Vietnam!! Thank you for sharing that!
Cables are not hard at all but they are slow and require attention so you have to be in the mood!
I love the Ilha, Poetria, and the cardigans. So pretty! I'm knitting a cowl, and trying to figure out what sweater I'm casting on next. All the best, Selma! - Kimberly
I loved both of the projects chosen by your non-knitting friend. The pullover and the cardigan are both great and would really show off your lovely yarn gits.
Thanks!!
Such beautiful knits and patterns to chose from!!! The Eweknit Toronto sweater is gorgeous! I had the same realization when I was listening to Pink Floyd, I saw them in Vancouver BC in 1994............ ugh, how did I get this old!!!!! 😢😂😂😂
I love the Violeta! I have been searching Rav for pullover patterns for some special yarn. I put it in my favorites yesterday and was happy to see yours today! 🤗
And just to add, after seeing your pattern choices (I’m sure any would be lovely), I thought I’d add one to check out. Mariechen by Isabell Kraemer. I really enjoyed it and it went rather quickly, too! Can’t wait to see what you end up with!
Thank you!!
Your Violetta looks great, love the pattern and the color. Looking at the projects, you were clearly not the only one forgetting the extra cables when increasing ;). I completely get what you're saying about alternating involved projects with simple ones. i usually have them side by side. Now working on the Birch Pullover for myself and Gibs II for my partner, boh by Andrea Mowry. Birch takes forever, but I really like the knitting rhythm of half fisherman's rib. Thanks for your podcast!
Love the Sara vest and yes, those stepped shoulders were not good and that’s when I learned how to do Kitchener.
Love all your ideas… impossible to choose!
Sadly no projects this week. I’m catching up on all my recent knits that got kicked to the curb because they need to be modified in some way (sleeves too short, body too short, bind-offs too tight, unfinished linen lace scarf). This will happily close out all my summer linen/cotton knits so I can’t finally move back to WOOL❣️
Good plan!
Dear Selma, thanks a lot for your inspirations. I have Erika Knight BFL and tried to knit a Fair Isle pattern with it but it worked out not so good. Now I will have a look if the Granite Cardigan will be an option 😊. Best regards and have a nice time with your Workshop. Brigitte
I must admit that I'm a little envious... I mean.. Sting!!! ❤❤❤ Both happy & sad, I totally get it. I also saw him in the nineties, simply amazing 🥰
Hi Selma, me encantaría verte en Barcelona. Sigo tus podcast por el tejido y para lisening😊.
I’m knitting my first Ranunculus! I remember seeing the Police perform in December 1980 in a circus tent pitched on Tooting Common in London. I don’t know how we weren’t all crushed to death when they opened the tent flaps to let us out at the end. No health and safety then. My feet didn’t even touch the ground - terrifying. Good concert though. 😅
I’m working on the Eva Cardigan by Petiteknit. So far its been a “typical” Petiteknit knit. 😁 I’m really enjoying the process.
I love the Ilha sweater. It’s totally new to me so maybe that’s why I like it so much. I just need to finish sewing on some buttons for Corran sweater and decide if my sleeves are a tad too long, but otherwise I just love it. I was intimidated by a lace garment but it was actually fun it knit and not too complicated for me. I saw Sting in Germany in 1991. Love his music and I’m so glad you got to see him again. Who cares that it’s been 30 years.
Exactly!! It is a little freaky though to realize how long ago something took place 😂😂
So many beautiful sweater options. The Ilha is in my queue as well. You cracked me up with your David Linnhagen comment. The whole town knows his name by the end of the movie 😂. So many good nostalgia vibes with the Sting footage. My first concert was The Police who were touring with The Fixx and The Flock of Seagulls. I had just got my drivers license and crammed all my friends in and drove to Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts to see the show.
Great Sting memory!!
As I mentioned in my comment on your last episode, I love the 2 Ilha sweaters I have made. I also love my Sarkle sweater. To throw a spanner in the works - have you seen the Glacier Ridge sweater? I have ordered a pale grey-blue yarn and that will be my next knit. It is gorgeous! I hope your retreat goes really well! Anyone going is very lucky indeed!
Hello Selma how wonderful to see you again. Always very interesting listening to you and seeing your beautiful knitting. Just a quick question Selma - do you ever knit a garment in the flat mode and not the round? I’m an old school knitter and I do knit socks but I prefer jumpers and cardigans etc in the flat mode. I love everything you knit and love the sweater you are wearing - very comfortable and such a beautiful pattern. Thank you for your great podcasts Selma - I really enjoy them 💕
Hi Selma. Enjoyed the podcast and who wouldn't like a little snippet of Sting. I vote for the Anker sweater and the Granit Cardigan.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I’m binding off the sleeves on my Eva cardigan, knit with beautiful cranberry colored Rambouillet/merino yarn that I bought from the farmer at a farmer’s market in Maine. His wife dyed the yarn, which was spun locally. 🥰
Hi, thank you for your episode! I hope you enjoyed the eclipse today in New Mexico, I think you are very near the perfect location to see the Ring of Fire. I think your yarn would be beautiful in the 2109-08 Kelly sweater or the Thea Colman. I realize the Kelly sweater is not like any of the choices that you made, but I think you would look fantastic in it.
Thanks for the tip!! I’ll go and check it out!!
Carbon black - that's exactly how I like my tea, with milk! Enjoy your future travels, look forward to hearing and seeing all about it.
Yesss!!
I really like the minimalist cardigan but I was hesitant to make it because it's seamed.
I'm looking at the options myself. I just finished Morning in Engelberg out of Erika Knight Wild Wool. It is boxy and I cropped it a little. I will definitely wear it. You might want to take a look at that pattern. It's got some texture and interest, but it's quite an easy knit.
Right now working on a crocheted holiday throw. Also on needles actively Joji Tromso hat and a pair of vanilla socks. Just finished a modified Coloring Book Raglan.
That is awesome!
New subbie from a new knit podcaster. I subscribed at first because your cat looks very similar to mine! I stayed for the lovely patterns. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
If your cat is also smart, cheeky and gives good head butts, they may be long lost twins!! Welcome!!
Thanks for the lovely episode and bonus Sting concert footage! My vote for the beautiful blue yarn would be the Ilha. I’m currently working on the Semper sweater in Knitting for Olive. Hopefully the weather will cooldown enough so I can wear it here in Alabama!
I wish I were going to your NM retreat since it feels like my state doesn’t have too much for knitters. However, I will be in Rhinebeck! I’m working on my last sweaters for that weekend: The Field Day Cardigan by Ozetta and the Moonset Tee. My vote for you is the Ilha. I have in mind to buy a lot of yarn for vNeck cardigans. One I love that doesn’t get much attention is the Vodka Straight Up by Thea Colman.
I so enjoyed Sting clips in the end, I didn't want them to finish.... he's still got it. ❤
I only put a few because I thought it would be too much if I put them all 🤣 super glad you enjoyed them!
I think the Ruta would look great in purple looking forward to seeing you knit that. I agree the snooki does look good in cream.
I live about hour and half from Barcelona. It was 26 degrees today everyone is still in summer dresses and very light trousers. If that helps your packing decisions for Barcelona Knits. I was just down in Barcelona last week I went to yarn shop Miss Kits and bought one of their Steve West MKALS kits which was Belle Amie yarn. Would love to go to my first yarn festival but currently tiring my best to clear my needles before starting the Steve West. I just learned how to split for sleeves and now I can finally move onto the body of my LePouf cardigan. But I did cast on the Winter League sweater by Two of Wands.
I hope to visit Miss Kits!! Thanks for the clothing suggestions!!
❤ A lovely, lovely episode again. Your podcast is always a joy to watch. Thank you for that. ❤ What I am knitting on today is the last bit of the second sock that I make for my, nearly 4 year old, granddaughter, Elsa Socks. Ofcourse this by special request received by a little video. Granny can you please make Elsa Socks for me???? 😍😍 Who can say no?
My next knit wil be a cardigan for my DH. That will be a modified Willafjord Collared Henley by Susanne Daun. A challenging project in many ways, 🤞 but again a request that I couldn't ignore 😅❤️
Elsa socks will be adorable!! That’s a cute request!!
Love the grey ranuculous
Hi Selma. I have really enjoyed your podcast and all your beautiful makes! Can’t wait to see what you decide to knit with that beautiful yarn. Hasta pronto!
I know that sense of sad nostalgia well - I felt that way when I saw Chicago in concert here in Winnipeg a few years ago. Maybe it has something to do with the old rockers slipping away one by one. Console yourself with knitting I say lol!!
I think they makers would look great in that yarn and color.
This should say the Ankers sweater.
Hi Selma, lovely wool , lovely projects, I am working on the Allyseum-sweater big hug
Wonderful!
V neck cardigan all the way for that yarn. I'm knitting the Ilha right now and loving it!! Very engaging!
Love your podcast❤
Yay, thank you! Thanks for the vote!
I just started the Alder Sweater from Creabea Rebecca Clow. Such a fun knit. I really loved the B roll of the lake and Sting❤️
I love your last 3 cardigan suggestions. I am have knitted the field day cardigan, jacket no. 1 and eva cardigan. All using DK yarns. I am choosing from these patterns, maybe you'll find them interesting. Bindweed cardigan, Mouliné cardigan and Auguste cardigan.
Thanks for sharing!!
I just used an Erica Knight wool called Wild Wool that I thought was just gorgeous in terms of colour and hand. It's a really special yarn.
Hi Selma. Thanks for another lovely podcast. I just started knitting the Utopia pullover from Laine magazine #17. It's a raglan with a pretty lace and cable detail and it's knit in fingering at a loose gauge, which I've never done before. I'm enjoying how quick it's knitting up.
Thank you for sharing all your amazing endevours.❤.
Thanks for watching!
I'm knitting the Expo 67 cowl from Espace Tricot
Right now I'm knitting the Koyamae by Joanna Ang in Nutiden Önska and Kidsilk perlrose. It's a joy to knit, because it feels so squishy, cuddly and fluffy. I've already knit the Ilha in a dark caramell colored wool I have on a cone. I enjoyed knitting it very much, even though I kind of struggled with the recommended way of constructing the neckline. After quite a bit of back and forth I ended up doing a usual one with one right one left for a few cm before doing a italian bind off. I also really love to wear it. Even wore it on cold evenings in summer.
Sometimes you have wool and almost immediately know what to cast on and sometimes the decision is really hard, because you just want to knit all the things with it. I can very much relate to that. Also, if I want an easy knit, I usually prefer pullovers to cardigans... and like you do aswell, top down to bottom up.
Thank you for your wonderful podcast! Unfortunately I don't comment as much as I should, but it's always a pleasure to watch.
Have a good time with your travels coming up soon!
Love from Germany,
Andrea
The nutiden mohair combination is like a cloud to wear! So light and airy!! It’s so true re project choice with certain yarn being so evident and other times it just takes forever to decide!!
Always lovely to hear from you!! No pressure! 😊😊
I saw Sting last summer! He was fabulous, plus, his son opened the show! Oh, and I just finished my 4th Ranunculus.
His son opened and was the drummer this time too! Yay for multi-Ranunculi!
All your proyects are so interesting Selma ❤ the Ilha for me is on my wishlist too I just love cables or lace
Thank you! 😊
All of your possible sweater choices are beautiful and would look beautiful in that yarn. But I think that the Ilha is so similar to the Ranunculus you are wearing that you should do one of the others. I know that the yarn weight is different, but you have quite a few ranunculus sweaters with a similar yoke, so if it were me I would do one of the others.
Thank you for the trip down memory lane with the clips from the Sting concert, sang all those songs on the way to a weekend of skiing at Grey Rocks. Whatever you pick to knit with the blue yard it will be beautiful. I think your first choice is the best one just my opinion. Thanks for the wonderful pod cast as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊
Enjoyed every second, Selma!!! Thanks so much. Anker is probably an ideal choice but all the sweaters and cardigans you shared are truly beautiful. I’ m about to finish Baigneuses, a summer top by Emilie Luis. It’s still very not here in Spain. See you soon 💌
Ooooh will I see you in Barcelona!?
@@littlebigknits I meant here on UA-cam but I’d love to see you in Barcelona, sure!!!🪁
@@xusblasco5563 got it!! Will you be there?
@@littlebigknits I’ d like to, but I haven’t decided yet. Will you be there both Saturday and Sunday, Selma?
@@xusblasco5563 definitely Saturday but not sure about Sunday. Where do you live?
You already have a light blue cardigan. the Corran Cardigan, but is is not a V neck. I love the Granite Cardigan, the April Cardigan and also the Minimalist Cable Cardigan in the short version. So much choice ...
I quite like the Soss cardigan, do you read Norwegian ? The Anker sweater is a great one, I made one in burgundy and it is a go to. I just finished the Happy to see ewe cowl for the PEI Fiber Festival, going back to my short sleeve Vanilla Affogato by Thea Colman, just in case the temperature is warm in the classes. Thanks for the video at the end.
Hi Selma, I am working on my v neck cardigan by Ozetta; the field day cardigan,and it is super easy as you knit the neck back along with the body, so it is done! Good luck choosing the right pattern for your BFL. Take care, Melissa.British Columbia
That is a great pattern but I’ve decided I don’t want a drop shoulder so I discounted that one for now
