I love how your family fell in love with the sweaters and decided to keep them! Haha, that is awesome. I love the family photo shoot, you all look great and super happy. 🥰
Ahh they completely did! I was just thinking of them being cheeky but you're right, they did completely love them.
💖
Rambling about yarns and patterns is, as far as I’m concerned, perfect podcast 😂❤
Yay! That's about all I'm good for so I'm glad it fits the bill
I’m so glad your mom and brother got to keep their sweaters…it’s special, the memories you’ve made and got to share with them. I’ve watched you from your very first podcast to present and I’ve always been so intrigued by how your knitting has grown so quickly. Your patterns are amazing. ❤ How exciting for your trip to Rhinebeck with Megha! Make room in your suitcase for lots of treasures! I think you should do a creme and sunflower yellow striped sweater…makes me think of summer.
Can’t wait for the tee shirt pattern. I’ve yet to find a basic one that I like. It would be so versatile and wearable for the summer. You said it yourself. One of my most worn items. Could be a great “potato chip” knit. Just one more!
That's what I'm hoping! And now I'm knitting on sample three so it's definitely ticking the "just one more" box so far!
I love your idea of providing multiple options/variations in one pattern!!!
omg the thorn stitch swatch!!!! 🤩each time you come up with something new I am DYING to get my hands on the pattern already 😂 until then, can't wait for Lanark ❤
Hahaa this is 100% how my brain works too. As soon as I have the swatch I NEED to cast it on and wear it asap
That t-shirt design is lovely, thank you for sharing the design process with us.
It made me so happy that you let your mom keep the sweater, I bought your pattern immediately after listening! It's beautiful and I hope to knit it soon.
I don't think there was any "letting" her keep it, she made it very clear what her expectations were!
Oh what a wonderful designs you make and going to make! Looking forward for the t-shirt and the 2 colord design. They are both lovely. ❤
I so enjoy your podcast, I’m a knitter of 50+ years and love your enthusiasm and excitement, you’re great company while knitting. Looking forward to your summer knits and hope you have a wonderful time at Rhinebeck 🧶
I love the sea foam green and the lilac colors. They would both look great with a creamy white.
Thank you Rebecca - your podcast is a delight as always. And can I thank you for introducing me to WoolyKnit, who I only became aware of from watching your podcast, despite the fact that I live less than an hour’s drive from the mill in Diggle! I went over there with a knitting friend a few weeks ago and what a lovely place - and lovely people. I’m currently knitting the Cargill using their 4ply British wool (held with some WYS laceweight yarn) and it’s coming along great. Really looking forward to the tee pattern - and as for the thorn stitch, stunning! Looking forward to the next podcast already. Your enthusiasm is so infectious.
The simple summer tee looks great. Can't wait for the pattern. I think the celeste blue or seafoam would be lovely with the off white for a striped version. 🧶🥰🧶🥰
I think the Ash Grey and Optic White would make a very cool classy tee, but you can’t go wrong with the classic red/white; navy/white; black/white; they would all look fantastic. It would be a fantastic all-year-round wardrobe staple, not just for summer, wear with a cardigan in the cooler months. Can’t wait for the pattern. I love Woolyknit too ❤
Love your new design. I have the perfect yarn in white, blue and a seafoam green. I'm so excited. Crazy as soon as I posted this you started speaking of your future striped sample.
Your tee pattern is inspiring me! I'm trying to make more staple prices for my wardrobe and that looks right up my alley. Can't wait to see the finished pattern!
Rhinebeck is AWESOME!!!!! You are going to love it! 🐑♥️🐑♥️🐑
Ahh thank you! I can't wait
Dear Rebecca, So excited for your summer shirt pattern; Dark Aqua is my favorite, but, Crimson and Dark Coral would also be lovely. Your trip to Rhinebeck sounds so exciting; I live in Indiana and have never been; still dreaming of making it one day!! Take care and happiy making. ~ Lori
Super excited for the summer tee 😍 and incredibly jealous that you are going to Rhinebeck! The absolute dream! Oh the yarn! 😍😍😍
I really like the sound of the pick and mix aspect to your new pattern. I’m the same in not really enjoying summer knits but that tee shirt shape fits so well it looks like it’s going to be a good one. I think the sea foam or the coral with the white would look lovely for summer. How exciting to be going to Rhinebeck. That will be such a great trip.
Brilliant!! I love your style and can’t wait to buy your summer tee pattern!
I'm so excited too. You are on fire. I can't wait to knit it it all. You have a real talent for design. I love that you keep the designs easy and fun to work on.
I liked the Crimson Red for a stripe, but I also liked the blue and the green colors too.
Take care
Whew! A very full episodes. You now have an official family sweater- lol! So cool! I can’t wait to try the new lacy cardi that is out for test knitting. If you are making another lace cardi, I would go with the lighter shade. If others are making bright colours, yours will provide contrast and also show options for makers who don’t like bright colours. Your new summer knit sounds terrific- although I live in the Interior of BC Canada and have the opposite problem to a Scottish summer, it is too blinking hot for any kind of knits in the summer, but they do work well for spring and early fall. I made a summer T last year and will be giving it away to someone who lives near the coast where the summers are a bit cooler. So many colours look great striped with cream or white, so just go for whatever tickles your fancy. I think you will have a blast at Rhinebeck meeting so many other makers that you know. I have never been and likely won’t as it is a long way for me and I would be solo, but I have rarely heard any negative reviews of this yarn event. Looking forward to seeing your new knits!
So many wonderful and exciting things for you! You have so much to be proud of. I am looking forward to knitting the lacy cardigan and the tee shirt patterns when they are released. I have orange Knitting for Olive silk that might work for the tee, and may stripe it with a cream or pink; to be determined. I am so excited for you as you plan for Rhinebeck. It is on my bucket list, but not this year, and how wonderful that you and Megha will meet and have a yarn crawl through out New England. All of this sounds just wonderful. Thanks for another lively but thoughtful episode.
I'm just catching up on past videos and saw your first Tolsta, realised it's the same yarn and colour as my first one!
I like your rambling knitting thoughts and ideas! I especially enjoyed your previous podcast talking about, and critiquing, all your garment knits in 2022. Like you, not a super fan of cotton, but willing to give it a go for a summer T. For me, 1811, 1822, or 1826 would be my choices for a strip. Might even do several complimentary colors. Endless possibilities! Good luck with the design.
Hi! So lovely to join you for the podcast again! I always look forward to this time. For your stripe, I really liked the seafoam. It's such a fresh, cool, summery colour for the t-shirt. Really, almost any colour will work, but I have been drawn to vintage greens this spring. I am so excited for your trip this fall. I've heard of Rhinebeck but have not gone. Perhaps one day. However, my friend and I have gotten tickets for Knit City Montreal in May. It is supposed to be quite the fibre fest. It is only a couple of hours drive for me. So looking forward to it. Your fall sweater swatch looks divine! I can't wait to see the results. Take care!
I again loved your podcast. And with every of your designs or plans for designs I immediately think that I want to make it 😊. For your striped version I would combine cream with crimson or don’t use cream (I am not a white/ cream person) but use 1820 pale mint with 1822 seafoam green. I think that will be fresh and different then the classic white with a colour . Have much fun with knitting, designing and podcasting and looking forward to seeing what it’s going to be. Thank you!
SO many recommendations for Seafoam green! Love that everyone else liked it as much as I did
Just stumbled onto your lovely podcast. How exciting that you will be attending Rhinebeck! I went for the first time last year and I'm hooked! It's also gorgeous her in NY around that time of year. Cheers!
That Holst swatch is STUNNING, it remind me a little of the rustic Kerr sweater (might be the colours) and I am HERE for it. Can't wait for that testing call (or pattern release). I also remember that Drops Belle t-shirt and wanting to free hand my one too this summer, but this would be perfect! I love the idea of a moodboard, and i agree, the lento was a great opportunity to experiment. I could see red/white stripes, i think these are better than the classic navy/white. I also love the idea of little purl bump rounds. Can't wait to see all the ideas testers will come up with for this tshirt!
The whole moodboard is full of red and white stripes! So I must have them on my mind
My vote for a lace cardigan color is strawberry red or purple. I absolutely love your Dornie sweater, and I think the t shirt would actually be great in black with thin white stripes.
Rhinebeck will be wonderful. Love all the knits.
So pleased to hear you’ve succumbed to designing the perfect tee. Hehe. I knew you’d give in. Your “rambling” and excitement is completely contagious. Don’t change. It’s one of the best aspects of your podcast xox
I am so excited to hear that you are coming to Rhinebeck. I can’t wait to meet you. The festival is about two hours north of New York City, but they can be variable due to construction and traffic, so be sure when you plan with Megha that you take that into account. Also, it is in the Hudson Valley of New York State. That is not really New England. New England comes next- Connecticut/Massachusetts/Rhode Island/Vermont /Maine and that can be quite a drive depending on which state you plan to go to. don’t know if you have made hotel or inn reservations yet near the fairgrounds. But I suggest that you do because they go fast. I hope that coming to a US fiber festival will spark your interest in more variegated and speckled yarns with colors outside of what you normally use. I lived in NYC for 18 years and and I’m happy to give you restaurant suggestions when the time gets closer.
I think you should stripe the Sunflower Yellow with the cream! One of my favorite summer shirts is that color combo and I think a soft yellow color looks good with a lot of different complexions.
I think the aqua for your other T Shirt. Looking forward to that pattern 😍 your mum looks gorgeous in your sweater love it!
Yayyyy for Rhinebeck!! I hope I get to see you there!
Omg im so sooooo excited for you! This will be my first Rhinebeck, too. Highly recommend the little town of Cold Springs. It’s so gorgeous and iconic New England little-town-in-fall. You have to check out The Endless Skein in Cold Springs, and the Yarn Shack in New Paltz… it’s literally a self service shack with yarn on the side of the road. 🎉
Loooooove the Lanark sweaters! And the seafoam or the mint green would be beautiful stripes
Rebecca, I'm so ready for all your summer knits. Cannot wait! ☀🍉
Enjoyable ramble! Stripe contrast for cream: navy or cobalt blue, true classics that reappear year after year and are very pleasing to the eye. Xxx
Cobalt blue would be lovely!
Rhinebeck!!!!!! Yay!! Good for you! I've not yet been and hope to go.
Loved this podcast but love them all 😊. I like the one kind of sea green to stripe with but that cinnamon red also is a winner!! Yay for coming to our side of the pond!! Rhinebeck will be so much fun! You will love it! Fall colors on the Hudson are gorgeous! I missed the Lento KAL but still hope to make it. I tried to shop from stash and guess I will have to break down and get some yarn for it. Thanks again!
Loved watching, and your designs are gorgeous ❤
Yes, I will be going to Rhinebeck and I’m sure you will love it!
Rebecca, your summer sweater idea is great!! Your enthusiasm is infectious. You look great in many color combos. Working within your already existing base color yarns, I can see you in combos of Navy with Sunflower Yellow and Cream with Seafoam Green. Best wishes on your new pattern in the making. 🧶
That new swatch is AMAZZZINNNNGGGG. also I saw this in some other comments but the yellow or the camel color with the cream would be glorious 🌻 but I'm sure whatever you choose will look amazing!
Your excitement is absolutely contagious and sooo inspiring ❤
Can't wait for the t-shirt pattern, it will be such a staple item.
What a wonderful episode!! Love 💕 the videos of you and your family!! 🤗. I can’t wait for all your new designs! I am currently working on the Kerr sweater and I am enjoying it very much. ❤so exciting about Rhine beck. I will have to go this year and hopefully meet you. 😊
How exciting Rhinebeck! And New England fantastic. We we’re suppose to go to New England in the fall but covid hit ! You will have amazing trip😍
Your family with the matching sweaters is so cute! The Lanark is just so beautiful and rustic.
I hope you guys run the lento kal again. I wasn't able to join in this time, but I've fallen in love with a hand dyed mohair colourway at my local yarn store and it would make such a beautiful lento.
The thorn stitch is so pretty, I reckon the brown swatch is my favorite.
I loved hearing about your summer top construction methods. I recently finished the Easy Teesy by Allison Cribbs, which has a fascinating construction, I'd never made something in that way before.
I'm sure we'll run it again, it was so so popular!
It's always a happy day when I see a Creabea notification pop up, the family photos are lovely, it is no surprise they want to keep the sweaters. So exciting for you to be going to New York especially for a yarny trip! I thoroughly enjoyed knitting the Cargill Sweater and when my current 3 wips are done I will be casting on a blue Dornie. i'm also looking forward to the T shirt if only I could knit as fast as you then I could knit all the things, fortunately I'm a process knitter otherwise my lack of speed would be highly irritating 🙂
I'm finally catching up on your videos(I gave up youtube for lent) and I am soooo excited for a sweater from the brown/cream, gray/cream swatches!!! I haven't knit a sweater yet and I want to knit that so bad!
Great designing ideas! Anxious for all of them. The Holst project pattern swatch is beautiful.
OMG! Rhinebeck! I'm hoping to go this year (coming from mid-Atlantic area of US). Also, I'll vote for the turquoise and cream stripes. Can't wait for the t-shirt pattern. Love the idea of a dropped loop every few rows to make it really airy. I enjoyed your podcast!!
That’s so exciting for you I ve thought about vogue knitting live but now my health is deteriorating and know I can’t make these trips anymore but hey ho done loads of travelling when I was able You re doin so great with your designs
So excited for you and your trip to NY. A yarn crawl sounds fun. Be sure to check out Flying Fingers Yarn Shop in Tarrytown NY. Cute town north of NYC on the Hudson River.
Hi Rebecca! How exciting you are coming to Rhinebeck! I have plenty of vegan food recs for NYC, and can probably also get some in Rhinebeck/ Hudson Valley area too!
There’s so much to say. In no order too. I’d love to see you do the mint color on the sweater. But actually all the ones showed would be beautiful. On the same note, when you first started thinking about what to knit with your yarn support a short sleeve cardi came to mind. Also with some easy embroidery. Or a lace cardigan. Rhinebeck. You will fall in love. I hope you’ll do a get together for a quick meet and greet ‘on the hill.’ You’ll hear about that the closer we get. But since you’re going to be there that will change my mind about going! You’ve got several knits coming and I can’t wait to see! ❤
Also! You’ll need a Rhinebeck sweater! 😉 whether it’s warm, cold or anything in between. I’ve been there when it was snowing and I’ve been there in short sleeve tshirts and capri pants. Sweater in my backpack 😉🤪😂
Hi Rebecca! I always enjoy your podcast and beautiful knits. The swatch for the fall pattern is gorgeous! Tammi , Claudia and I will be going to Rhinebeck and we are three friends that do the Wool and Wine podcast. I’m looking so forward to meeting you there! This will be our first time to the wool festival also.
Oh you must come to Pick Up Every Stitch in Mt. Kisco NY! We are an hour north of the city and on your way to rhinebeck. You can train up or drive, it's an easy stop and a fabulous shop. You would adore the owners-Karen and Felicia- and the yarn choices are unreal. I actually work there a couple of days a week and it is yarn heaven. There's a Greek place around the corner for lunch and you could get felafel or there's a great vegan place in town as well.
Your swatch for the autumn sweater is absolutely sensational and the summer tee is gonna be super popular I am sure! well done for booking to go to Rheinbeck. You have earned your success with your enthusiasm, your skills and your joyous personality. That's a very well deserved treat and you will enjoy it so much!!! xxxx
Yay, so excited that you and Megha will be coming to Rhinebeck! I live about 40 minutes from there and go every year. It's a beautiful time of year here and you'll have a blast. I hope I see you there and hope to be wearing one of your knits. ❤
Since I found your podcast, I binged your videos 😍and it is so cool to watch your designing journey. I absolutely LOVE your patterns. Even applied to your test knits, but I guess my ravelry is not interesting enough for you to get picked 🤣however, what is in my mind quite a long time is a video suggestion: I would love to see a recap of things you made or plan with the yarn from the yarnswap with Megha 🤩maybe this is something to consider in the future. Have a great time in New York 💕
I loved everything! Hey from Hiddenite North Carolina!!💜💚🌻🌻
I love the look of the navy and white stipe❤
Girl!!! You have such exciting upcoming ideas!! You need an idea book to help pace yourself, we can’t have you burning yourself out !! 😊
Dusty coral with seafoam green! Wow that would be nice! Look at them next to each other!
Wowza!
Your swatch is beautiful!! Will be a lovely project for autumn!❤
Your exuberance is so contagious, I always look forward to your episodes!
Congratulations on your Rheinbeck decision, I’m sure you’ll love that. And it doesn’t really only affect you… I’m sure all sorts of followers stateside will now be keeping an eye out for you 😂. I would love to see the tee in the crimson red with white stripes. Or vice versa. And as for the cardigan, while I’m excited to see all the bright colors, I think a pale yellow or pale lilac would be gorgeous for spring.
Loved seeing the first glimpse of your family photo shoot - so terrific of your mom and brother to pose for you!
The white eyelet sweater is darling. The first design stole my heart and I hope you re visit it. It is a classic summer look I also think white with camel or gold stripes is so classic and elegant. I also love Woolyknit, and will order from the US. Your excitement is infectious.
Working on my Dornie watching this lovely episode. For your T-shirts I would choose a colour which you could stripe/pair with both the white and navy. Anything goes with white so focus on the navy. Perhaps a neutral or an orange. Love the Holst sample. Really liked the raglan either side of the purl stitch. Looking forward to seeing this one develop.
Seafoam s a nice colour for the striped tee, I think. Love your designs!
Love how excited you are about Rhinebeck! Hopefully; it will be amazing. I feel compelled to point out as a native New Englander, that New York is NOT actually part of New England. New York is considered part of the Mid-Atlantic United States. New York does border several New England states.
Ohh amazing! Thanks for this. I think my Anglican brain just thinks that all of that North-East coast counts as New England but good to know it's not!
@@the.creabea The New England states are Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts (where I was raised), Connecticut, and Rhode Island. New York shares borders with Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Vermont. In either case, autumn is a considered as beautiful in the Rhinebeck area as it is in New England. I, on the other hand, would LOVE to travel to your part of the world!
A lovely positive episode stuffed full with interest and inspiration . What a great family photo . My my some great knitting for us all to come .
As for thoughts on a colour for the cotton stripe ... maybe to throw in different mood a softer contrast as the other colours are bold .... the sea foam ? I did get one of those spam things but decided not to send you a notification being sure you knew already and didnt need to answer yet another mail ...... as like any undesirable behaviour I would prefer not to give it energy . Back to the "up" news excited for you on your trip to the US . This side of the water not long till Perth . Kerrie
I love your knit T-shirt. I want to make it❤. Can’t wait
Yah Rhinebeck!!! wohooooooo - I am close by so hope I get to see you!
Yay I hope to see you at Rhinebeck!!!
I am enjoying my #LetsLento sweater. I have just one sleeve finished. It would be complete but a friend has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 small cell carcinoma. 😢. I stopped to make chemo hats for her. Now the weather is warm and I am having problems picking up a mohair project. Now I am being distracted by a Viola tee in cotton.
Really enjoying your podcasts and your design adventures. I would call the new brown/cream one - The Thistle. 😊
Oh that's so cute!
Great podcast. I like listening to you describe your creative process. I am looking forward to your new designs!
Thank you so much!
So fun as always. And now I really want to book a trip to Rhinebeck too! For the t shirt, I think a low contrast white and wild orchid would be lovely!
Oh my goodness! I haven’t even cast on my Dornie yet but I am dying for the brown and white pattern! Thank you for the motivation for getting on with things!
Are you planning on just going to the Rhinebeck festival on the Saturday and Sunday, or are you also planning on going to the pre-rhinebeck festivals on the Friday. There are three festivals that all take place the day before Rhinebeck called Wool and Folk, Indie Untangled and Cakepaluza (spelling of the last one is probably not correct).
In NYC there are numerous yarn stores, the main ones are:
Knitty City
Annie & Co
West Village Knits
Downtown Yarns
String Thing Studio
Argyle Yarns
Woolyn
Brooklyn General
The skein yarn shop and yarnia are both shops you could visit. Both shops have podcasts. X
that swatch is so beautiful! I love the brown combo too. the eyelet tee is great too. looking forward to seeing progress on your new designs.
The brown one is officially on my needles! And I'm already obsessed
Yay!! You are going to be at Rhinebeck! Me, too! It will be my first one and I'm Nervous about going, about seeing all these people that I've only followed online and actually talking to them. Get ready for an influx of people coming at you, saying hello!
Yay! Defnitely come and say hello. People only go to these things to meet new people (and squish yarn, of course)
Do the white/cream 1826 Sunflower Yellow, with maybe 1 or 2 rows of the blue you already have on the top and bottom of the yellow.
I think it would be super cute and summery
ohhh man i'm so jealous that you're going to rheinbeck!!! i actually just got back from my first big solo trip (outside studying abroad) and i knit pretty much the entire flight home even though i should have been sleeping, lol.
For the stripe I think the cream with the light grey , the dark aqua or the red.
I am also going to Rhinebeck this year, I'll be going completely solo though as I have no yarny friends but I'm hoping I'll make some while I'm there. It's been on my bucket list for a while and I'm super excited. I've got the day off work tomorrow so I'm going to drive over to the Wooly Knit mill and take a look at their real life shop - I discovered I only live about 20 mins away. Exciting or dangerous, I can't quite decide 🤔
Love your starfish pattern!
I adore the summer top pattern. I think I'd do the lilac with the cream for stripes. That would look so pretty 😍
I love summer knits, especially when there is nothing more needed at the armhole edge. The Seafoam would be my pick for the stripe.
I had this one knitted up in 3 days! Love when summer knits fly off of the needles
Me, me, me I want that raglan that you are designing for September... It is awesome. Can't wait to test it. OMG I have been living in NYC for 7 years never been at Rhinebeck.
Pick up every stitch is New York(Mt Kisco), not in New England. In new York City you can visit Knitty City, Purl Soho unfortunately still closed
That would be a great Rhinebeck sweater!
Hi Rebecca, you are such a talented designer, all of your designs are fabulous! I’ve started to think about summer knits so I’m thinking of a Corran cardigan in a cotton Merino and I’m excited about your t-shirt pattern. I love the eyelet pattern but for a striped one, didn’t you say you’d been sent some apple green? That would really suit you I think and bring out the green in your eyes. Otherwise the copper colour would be good for you. Also thinking of a Corran in a bright colour to match your other testers, what about orange? That Lava Neon Orange shade would really make a statement. I love your Thorn stitch swatch and am looking forward to seeing how your sweater progresses. I really enjoy your podcast including the rambling 😊
So excited for you to go to Rhinebeck! It is definitely on my bucket list especially after seeing Needle At The Ready’s Podcast with all their friends!
Hello!!! So excited that you’ll be coming to the Hudson Valley for Rhinebeck!!! The Observatory Shop in Hastings on Hudson is another great place to stop, as is Beetle and Fred in Beacon. I live in Mt Kisco, where Pick Up Every Stitch is located and though the shop is nice, the town is a bit drab. Hastings and Beacon are much more interesting and picturesque and would be good pit stops on your way to Rhinebeck. I think Beacon also has a vegan/veg restaurant. Hope this helps!
Ahh thank you so much for the recommendations. I'll be adding them all to our ever-growing spreadsheet!
