I love the slightly contrasting blue cast-on on your blue socks! So beautiful!!!
A little hack for motivation/visual progress in monotonous knits:
Add a stitch marker to the side when you start knitting!
That was the only way I could stay motivated for the Sophie Shawl 😂 (and it also helped me keep track of the increase/decrease side)
Beautiful projects and podcast! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑
Another interesting sock yarn to compare, tenderfoot from EYB. It's super wash merino and nylon but somehow manages to look rustic and none superwash
I really like your videos and am really encouraged to try more difficult and new knitting! Just wanted to ask if you have any sock blockers that you would recommend? I‘ve never blocked socks but since I started watching more knitting videos i think getting some sock blockers would be a good idea. :)
Just wanted to say (because you brought it up in the beginning of the video) that I started knitting for the first time at the end of January and I'm knitting the step by step sweater!! As a first time knitter, I'm really impress by how much progress I made, I always thought knitting was more time consuming and difficult haha. I also kind of regret not doing the german short rows because it does bunch up but that's ok.
Anyways, thanks for the pattern, I really like it!!
Just wanted to jump in with a tip, in case you’ve never tried it!: I’ve found that for sweaters without short row shaping at the neck, if you pull the back neck up above the front neck while blocking to mimic the effect of short rows it can make the sweater much more wearable. Either way, your sweater sounds amazing! 😊
Thanks for the tip!! I'll try that 😌
I’m in exactly the same position, I started at Christmas! Such an easy pattern and video to follow 🥰 one sleeve almost done, and one to go!
You are fantastic! I am making my first sweater ever because of you, your beautiful pattern and great tutorial video. Thank you very much! I’m am such a fan of you and your excellent UA-cam channel. ❤
I knit the step by step sweater as my first sweater and first raglan sweater after my first two cardigans. I had only 5 months of knitting experience and it went well!
Thank you Florence 😊✨
If you're looking for a cuff down sock pattern: Sun Up Socks by Lily Kate Makes is beautiful. I knitted my first socks with it and loved it so much that I knitted three pairs already :) Also I think that her patterns are outstandingly well written.
I love my step by step jumper but I fall in love with your Noro version every time I see it. I definitely need to make another 😊
Instead of nylon you could use silk mohair
I've just knit your step-by-step sweater as my first ever garment and it was such an awesome experience! Thank you for all the work you put into creating it 🍀
The dress you knitted is darling on you.
Great video Florence ! Can't wait for the sock review one. Like you, I've been trying to buy a new sock yarn every time I feel like making sock, to try and gather that information so I can make up my own list of favourites. You've also convinced me to put the mamba dress on my list. One of my goals this year was to make a dress (maybe for christmas), and i thought of the Augustines ones, but this looks LUSH and would be a good construction challenge.
the jumper you're designing looks so stunning can't wait to see it progress :)
Thanks for another video 🤍 I only saw your post yesterday for the mamba dress and thinking “holy crap she finished it already” and now you also posted a vid so I feel lucky lol and I’m so excited for next ep already, your wips are so gorgeous 😭
And I totally agree with you on paying money for simple patterns. For me, to have someone explain it the way I can understand best is priceless, compared to me trying to understand someone else’s pattern writing for free
I absolutely refuse to do toe-up socks. If there's a pattern I like the look of I usually find it very simple to adapt it to cuff-down
Love that combination of the Zauberball and mohair for the penny gloves 😍 I was casting off a top down hat while watching, thanks for this lovely video 😊
your upcoming sweater pattern looks like it'll be stunning!!✨ I love the colour work and colours
I'm almost done with my sweater! 😁 I adore your videos and all the fun projects. I'm a beginner but usually have several projects going also. Knitting my first socks too. Thank you for being an inspiration. I look forward to the day I can be advanced.
your projects are beautiful, thanks for the podcast! looking forward to the sock yarn review.
Thanks for influencing me to all this nice sock patterns.
I recently finished two pairs of Stella socks and want to knit some socks from yucca now 😊😂
I made it and steeked it to make a cardigan. it looks lovely, thank you.
i'm looking forward to seeing your video on sock yarns! :D
Your mamba dress is gorgeous 😍
Luv your minimalist styles!! Gonna try soon♡♡♡
What do you do with scraps?
Most socks can be switched from toe up to cuff down or the other way around. Takes a little more brain power and starting at the end of the pattern
Also heard of people knitting the pair in opposite directions which stresses me out
The dress is lovely!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience 🙂
I don't know how to text on TELEGRAM 😔
I tried but failed. Thank you for choosing me anyway ❤️
Where has your CS study gone?
