Anytime! I hope it was insightful and didn't deter you from starting the project! At the end of the day it's a beautiful cami that would get tons of wear and the little hiccups are totally worth it!! Let me know if you decide to cast it on 🙂
Hello fellow Camisole no. 9 knitter! I had really similar experiences with this pattern. Some thoughts: - I've knit a few MFTKnitwear patterns and there were a handful of errors that felt very odd to see. Like the needle sizes were ALL over the place in the pattern. I followed the mm sizes because the US needle sizes were wrong at points. - My bottom edge also curled in till blocking XD - I did not bother to hand seam the edgings down. I put it through the sewing machine and it was easy! - UGH I also hate that it's not bra friendly :( - I knit mine in KFO Merino and I found my yarn specifically (cream) to be really splitty and bamboo needles was better than metal as metal would just keep splitting the yarn. :/ - I am also a process knitter XD the product was beautiful but man this process was rough to get through
Oh that's good to know that you had a similar experience! I thought it may have just been me/ this pattern because it was my first MFTKitwear but that's interesting you've had other hiccups! She does design stunning pieces so I would say that it's probably still worth it :P and hurray for process knitters! I find that the finished product is almost like a wonderful bonus! (vs if I was a product knitter and dreaded working through it :P)
Your camisole turned out so well, MaryAnn and I absolutely love your blankets. As one of the viewers who originally thought it might not be quite worth the time and effort to knit for your manager, I humbly take it back 😏, it looks soooo beautiful, any baby would be lucky to receive such a generous gift! I love the blues and soft purples in your scrappy blanket - that will be a good one for sure! I am still trying to finish a summer knit (I WILL finish it! I WON‘T put it off until next year!), but I have started an Aros Sweater for fall. We had one chilly week in Berlin, and I decided summer was over 😂. Its usually never too early in my opinion to start holiday knits because you know, when you’ve got them made, you’re safe😅. Enjoy your camisole!
Haha thanks Rebecca! Glad that I could change your mind about the blanket 😉 GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR LAST SUMMER KNIT! I’ve already called it quits but we just got hit with a heat wave LOL so it looks like summer is here to stay a little longer :P Oooh the Aros Sweater is stunning, that would definitely get me into the fall mood! Haha
So thankful for this video! Your camisole looks fantastic. I'm just up to the collar and armholes now... sounds like we shared the same struggles. I chose Tynn Line (cotton + linen) as it is a gift for a vegan friend... so I can definitely relate with the drag feeling. Hopefully it turns out well.
Hey, thanks for sharing. I don't live at a, place where Christmas is a thing. But i have planned some fall knits. Just waiting for December dor jojis fallkal to make some cardigans. Knitting on my plumetis sweater from pompom and the forest berry, dress from fableknits. Have a great weekend
That sounds like a solid line up for fall knits! my sister is actually working on the plumetis sweater from pompom right now and it looks SO cool! I hope you have a lovely weekend too!
I'm knitting with the Lang Jawoll yarn! Just FYI- There's a spool of reinforcement yarn in the center of those skeins. Apparently they're weighed with the plastic spool inside so it isn't exactly 50g. Otherwise it's a great sock yarn!
Oh really?! that’s so cool to know (about the spool of reinforcement yarn) but a little weird if they weighted it with the plastic inside haha. I hope I have enough then :P because it was clearance and there were only two skeins left!!
Great question! I actually stumbled my way through it myself :P I don’t have a GREAT tutorial but I have this saved instagram reel from The Knit Purl Girl that I think gives you some better view of what you can do :) instagram.com/reel/Cp7PkWFIXlc/?igsh=MTZ6NzN6NHN6cTh6Yw== I hope it helps!
@@bymwu thank you! I have also found one from wild knits Glasgow that I think is good for folded knit hem? ua-cam.com/video/THhvPAvR2lA/v-deo.htmlsi=WfmcMc3cyCTvSY48
@@bymwu also did you do the recommended knitted collar or the alternative that she has? I have never done the sew in before and not sure if I will manage .
@@bymwu I was wondering if for the neckline when I pick them up on the wrong side do I also knit on the wrong side? Because then I have to fold it and cover the picked up stitches.
I like the cami on you! I'll have to commission you to make me one. You know how I knit, I would have to frog it a gazillion times before getting it right :P
Haha thank you!!! With a bit of practice and patience I’m sure you would be able to get it! Overall the experience wasn’t too bad especially if you’ve done a top down cami before :) If you’re looking for a good pattern to start with I really enjoyed the Square Neck Cami by Helene Beba!
@@bymwu you overestimate my abilities. Do you know how many times I've restarted my Plumetis? SIX! all because I didn't read the pattern. And it's actually a very well written one
I want to knit camisole no 9 so bad! You're the first UA-camr I've seen who has talked about it. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I am planning on making the Classic Comfy Raglan with a DK dark gray knitpicks yarn and the make it tweed.
Make it tweed and a dark gray seem like a match made in heaven!!

Working on the camisole no9 rn hahhahaha its kinda confusing for me as well
Ooh no! Haha I hope you figure it out! If you have any questions I would be happy to try and help! :)
@@bymwu Thank youu!!!
How do you bind off the bottom hem for cami no 9? I’m confused by how she explains it. Does anyone know any good videos that explain it?
