Hi there, I'm new to your channel, the knitty stew mentioned you and as soon as I saw you were in the province I'm in, I subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to watching. ;) Sunshine (aka Donna)
3:01:20 okay I like the hot pink though! It's still in that cool tone, but it's a strong contrast in tone to the other three! I think it would look incredible.
I love your tessallated garments, both of them. Jackie, the low contrast is fabulous and very interesting; Carmen leave your vest the way it is. I think it’s perfect, the balance is good and you look fabulous in it.
My first time viewing your podcast! Excellent job- a lovely mix of technique and informative advice with repartee and great designs to whet our appetite! I hope I see you at Rhinebeck and further, I hope I remember the “Tessilated “ sweater, to say how I enjoyed your review. You were and enjoyable watch! Thank you.
It’s so nice to see you lovely ladies. I had to stop the podcast for a minute to comment because I’m sitting here in the early morning knitting and listening to you, then suddenly Siri stops the podcast waiting for me to ask it something I guess. It was confusing for a minute, then I realized, Carmen was talking about Siri alpaca and I guess Siri reacted, lol. Too funny. I love listening to you ladies.
Even before you got to the discussion about the tessallated pullover I had recognized it….so no worries there, people will recognize that you have a tessallated garment. I haven’t been to Rhinebeck in forever but remember it being so fun, so enjoy and wishing you great sweater weather
Thanks for sharing the collet, love trying new shapes and I have added it to my queue. My vote is for dream state! you ladies are lovely. Thanks for sharing your creativity and process, big inspiration in my making! ❤❤
Alright you two! I got so obsessed despite your warnings that I just dug through my stash and found I have an off white Nutiden, plus the Siluhett (that transitions from dark neutral to light neutral grey) and ordered some KFO mohair in the perfect shade, so NOW I'm obsessed! I also ordered some hand-painted mohair to do a cowl or two in fun colors!
Omg we MUST see this one!!! Haha and if you were wanting to knit it even after all of our cautions, it is meant to be! And honestly, you won’t be disappointed once it’s done!!
Always love seeing a new episode from you, Jackie and Carmen! I vote Dreamstate for Jackie's Twigs MC because a) I'm obsessed with it and b) it provides (in my opinion) the nicest contrast for the other three colors. And I guess I'm that person that has loved every moment of my Tessellated pullover; I love my colors, I love the way the Spincycle has been unfolding throughout the sweater, I love the fabric after blocking, I love the pattern, and I love the unlimited potential for color play. I already have yarn for a second one and have had to resist getting colors for two additional ones after that! I don't disagree that it's a time-consuming knit, but I love fingering-weight sweaters so that has probably had an impact on my overall experience. Yours both turned out beautifully and I hope you enjoy the hill meetup at Rhinebeck!
Great sweaters girls! Hello to the dogs ❤️ I knit both on knitting machines and by hand and its fun in different ways. Some yarns like nutiden i really enjoy feeling it in my hands. But a knitting machine is not magic instant sweater machine. Its more like the sweater pieces hangs on it but you still make the increases and cables and different shapings by hand with tools. Making stranded colorwork pattern is easier (not yokes) and very fun. And knitting machines are such an old great invention.
I knit the tessellated sweater and called it “the beast”… it took a long time with an incredibly tight row gauge and the three yarns attached all the time… but, it was joy when it was done!! 👏🏻 It was great to hear you say the same things!
So wonderful to catch up with both of you on this quiet snowy sunday morning as I sit in an Air B&B in Iqaluit. Try as I have, I just cannot get excited about the tessellated pattern and hearing about the process to get to your beautiful FOs I am comforted in my decision to focus on other projects! :) One of those is the Eurus! Yay! had my eye on that one for so long and already have my yarn (nutiden) but need to get through some gift knitting first... Because I am traveling and getting back late this week I will unfortunately again miss Rhinebeck and I am so sad about it, and even more so to miss the opportunity to meet you. There is always next year I guess! Enjoy Rhinebeck and report back! :)
Your last episode was fun! The dogs are heaps of fun. Really enjoying the fleur along. for something i didn't want to make in the first place it sure is taking up a lot of my knitting time! :)
I love seeing both of your progressions in style, patterns, yarn, spinning etc. Jackie, I feel like I'm getting a knitting lesson watching how you're moving on from raglan to the shaped shoulders of the Colette tee. I'd like to explore the same type of shoulder in the Colette tee and lo and behold found the LastLong pattern in my Ravelry library. It has a similar shoulder and uses Nutiden. I tried swatching for its broken rib pattern though and don't like how bulky it makes the fabric. So I'm thinking of trying the pattern in another texture or stockinette. I love that you all call a beast "a beast". I get what you say about the low contrast on your tessellated sweater, the texture makes up for it though. As always, lovely knits and creativity! Can't wait to hear your report from Rhinebeck.
Wow, all the knits are exquisite! Carmen, your vest is a work of art. Jackie, thank you for talking about the Collett, I started it thinking it was a raglan, got confused and gave up, I may give it another go, your sweater is really beautiful and the yarn wow. I’ve yet to use unspun yarn, a little intimidating. I’m not familiar with the US size needles, are you able to also state the metric size as well please. Have fun at Rhinebeck, I will be living vicariously.
I would totally want a pair of Mrs. Weasley needles, but only because I think I would continue with my current rotation of WIPs and I would consistently put different projects on the needles and then take them back again. :)
Carmen your vest looks amazing you don't need to change the rubbing! I was sooo questioning mine when finished. Block it, try it on with a button-down and it will be L❤VE! Have fun at Rhinebeck my FOMO has started. 😊
You both are so inspiring! And sorry Jackie, I agree with Carmen calling out BS lol, you both knit so fast truly! Sigh, shawls are always my happy place, I do so love seeing all your sweaters though and adding to the giant list. So jealous you both get to go to Rhinebeck, meeting people, sheep, and sweaters and people
Beautiful knits...as always. Jackie I now want to knit the soho square. I will be checking out Lisa's yarn at Sonder while at wool and folk. Love it... Thx you
I will be there!!! I will be at Rhinebeck for the first time this year as well!!!!! I really hope I get to meet y’all!!! I will be at Wool and Folk on Friday as well!! I’m so excited!!!😊
3 things: 1- I vote for dream state (but that family of colours is always my default… because they’re amazing) 2- I’m forever jealous of the ability of both of you to complete these big projects (my yarn production is most related to a 🐌) 3- I’m already overwhelmed with inspiration and after this weekend at NYSW for my first time my brain will be exploding (I’ll also have that stunned Canadian expression)
I cast off the Tessellated sweater as I was watching this! Definitely happy do be done. I enjoyed most of it. Sleeve one nearly did me in though. The Eurus sweater has been on my list of maybe knits but seeing how good it looked on Jackie has inspired me to cast it on like this weekend. My vote is for the dreamstate version for the twigs. :) Enjoy Rhinebeck!
Fun Episode! Kim and I are on the same watch schedule. She commented that she wants to make a Soho square, I now want to make the Eurus sweater! (please make one in the Sonder Yarns to test it and then I will happily copy!🤣) I hope we see you next weekend!! -Kate
🤩 You two are amazing, hilarious, thought-provoking. Truth-tellers. The Mouche & Friends Laine book I have has a tonne of errors on the first pattern - the main character Mouche!The gremlins doggo sounds in the background were so cute. First action for me: I need a base layer knit. And a heritage knit on my needles, love that! The Sonder yarn colours are insaaaane. Ughhh I want them allll! You know from time to time Mrs.Weasley’s needles would be verrrrry handy. Case in point: Tessellated vest and/or pullover! Seee you next time 👋🏼
Thanks for a fun afternoon! Jackie, take a pic of the Twig ideas… if the mono version shows enough contrast go with the mc that speaks to you. Nothing wrong with low contrast in colorwork as long as the values work. ❤ hey for your handspun, have you tried Andrea Mowry’s Shifty sweater? On unusual construction I love Moonstruck knits and just finished Letho cardigan. I’m currently test knitting for Teti - the Nivalis wrap in Nutiden with silk mohair love it!
Omg, same for me with the tessellated sweater. When I first started it was ouuu this is going to be fun but the novelty wore off when I split for the front. The sleeves were so long to do (5 days each!). It’s a good thing that I needed to finish it for Rhinebeck otherwise I may have taken a break from it. Now that it’s finished it’s beautiful. It grew 3 inches in length which I’m happy about because it was very cropped. Love your videos and will look for you on the hill!! ❤️❤️
Glass of wine, my current WIP, my favourite podcast, on a chilly Saturday afternoon.....priceless! ❤️🧶🍷 I am currently working on the Cumulus Blouse by The Petite Knitter and waiting on my Thanksgiving order of Sonder Yarns, which should arrive on Monday!🎉
Jackie, I was interested to hear you talk about the raglan length. My row gauge is never what patterns call for and I know I have to alter sideways sweaters and change the raglan shaping in some way. I almost always misjudge and have to rip back at least once. I learned my lesson when I tried to convince myself that my Lovenote was okay but I never wore it so I happily frogged the whole thing to make something else. The dogs didn’t bother me last time but I’m glad you had a less stressful episode with quiet dogs this time.
I started the Eurus sweater in the same yarn and am also in love. FYI - I ordered from Garntopia (to the US) and it was both reasonably priced in my opinion and quick. The yarn is so wonderful and I’m very glad I ordered.
You will love Rhinebeck- it is a giant fashion show - ask people what they are wearing - they love it - husband and kids know what they are wearing...it is soooooo incredible...
Thanks for your thoughtful comments regarding Tesselated vest & pullover! I've switched for the vest, and am getting up my nerve to cast on. However, the pattern has you use a long tail tubular cast on. I've done that for top-down projects but there are a heck of a lot more stitches to cast on going bottom up. Also how completely annoying is the way all the cast on stitches twist around and around?! Do you have a brilliant trick to suggest to make this cast on easier? Or are you team "just blow it off and use regular long tail cast on"? Thanks ❤
Ugh I am ALWAYS team long tail cast on unless there’s a hell of a good reason not to do it! Haha I also almost always use a regular bind off bc I really hardly see the difference and the difference in time is massive!!
Carmen, your vest is amazing! I'd leave the width of the armhole ribbing as is. If you look at retail versions, it's perfect.Jackie, you are a knitting machine! I vote for Under the Duvet for your Twigs. Beautiful colour choices!
Carmen, permíteme ofrecerte una recomendación para tu cárdigan color burdeos del minuto 2:23:31. Le sucede que la abertura del escote (cuello) esta muy abierta, es la razón por la que no puedes usarlo abierto sin cerrar la tira de botones. Te propongo medites en la siguiente solución: Retira los puntos RIB del cuello, contando cuantos son. retíralo completo. Una vez tengas los puntos abiertos del recorrido completo del escote en su totalidad, recoge nuevamente uno a uno con la siguiente anotación importante: a) los puntos que tengas en el escote de las partes delanteras, debes disminuir 10 puntos por cada delantero (derecho e izquierdo) (esto recogerá el tejido del busto que te sobra en el escote). b) en el total de puntos recogidos en el cuello de la espalda, recoge otros 10 puntos (DISMINUCION) , a partir de este recogimiento puedes levantar tu RIB, confía en mi. Te quedara perfecto y podrás usarlo sin cerrar la botonadura, encajara perfecto tu escote respecto a tu busto. La causa de que te cuelgue el tejido de los delanteros es la retención que no tiene tu tela en el escote respecto a tu contorno de pecho. Te envío mi abrazo y te aseguro que ese cárdigan maravilloso merece el esfuerzo y un poco mas de trabajo.
Me olvidaba! los puntos que debes recoger los tomaras del centro del cuerpo, quiero decir, los 10 puntos de cada delantero deber retenerlos a partir de la cinta de botones hacia la linea que marca tu pecho en la medida mas ancha. Ninguno debes retener en el área de los hombros. te quedara igual de escote.
Love your classic grey pullovers! You might be interested in the world of "contiguous" set-in sleeve construction ... there is a group for that on Ravelry which lists all the "contiguous" patterns, and provides background on the construction. Isabell Kraemer has a free pattern "on the beach" that has been very helpful for me as a jumping off point.
Hello Carmen, hello Jackie. Thank you so much for this podcast, it’s always funny and very informative. I will love to hear about Rhinebeck. Carmen your necklace it’s lovely, do you mind telling me some information? I will love to get one for my daughter ❤
Aw thank you! I actually wear three necklaces pretty much at all times but I looked back and I’m guess it’s the one with the circle and the feminine symbol that you mean? That I bought from the wonderful Lotta at @elkmarketyarn. I’m not sure if she is still doing her metalworks but I highly highly recommend grabbing one if she is!!
Love your podcast! Carmen, you mentioned not having knit a Weekender because of the boat neck - did you happen to see that there's a crew neck version now?! 🎉 I have knit a Weekender and love it- the boatneck doesn't really bother me the way I feared it might. I've actually grown to rather like it. But I am so excited to try the crew neck version!
For me, White Mountains by Midori Hirose is a great classic sweater that includes very thoughtful arm/raglan increases to fit my body (and I think there is now a fingering weight version). It might be worth checking out! I knit the Felix pullover twice. I knit it and used it a few times and like yours, the neckline was too big for me. I ripped it and re-knit with fewer stitches and a smaller needle and am much happier.
You are so right that Melissa’s patterns have really low raglans. Which I find really difficult to wear with a winter coat! But Espace Tricot has great customer service and helped me adjust it to make them higher!
hello from Iceland, where it is already SNOWING -- and i'm deep into a test-knit for Inese Sang, so knitting on deadline but really, really enjoying it despite the time pressure. and so interested by your Skvattram discussion, as i made one this summer (single strand of Träda, no mohair), was WAY off gauge but in the reverse direction than what i'm used to (i tend to be a loose knitter, but this time i was getting way more rows per inch than the pattern, very odd), and ended up knitting much farther for the raglan before splitting than was called for -- but now that i've been wearing it for a while, it's also stretched out a bit, and is now a bit too big. clearly i need to make another one! and as beautiful as all the Tessellateds are (love Jackie's low contrast version), i'm totally in a mood these days for simple (maybe textured), single-color sweaters that really showcase the color & yarn, rather than super-complex colorwork. and omg yes, nutiden and necklines -- i tend to like a higher, narrower neckline (it's cold here in Iceland, so wider necks are just too chilly), and i haven't yet found my magical go-to approach for getting them to work -- i'm actually about to re-do the neck of my Before Fall test-knit sweater (which is top-down, so re-doing the neck is going to require surgery), because it's much too open for me. keep experimenting with gauge & length, hopefully someday i'll have a perfect recipe. (and Carmen, i still think the Felix cardigan would look great if you only button the top two buttons and leave the rest open?) have a fabulous time at Rhinebeck!
and one p.s. from the land of icelandic wool (the postman actually asked me, when i picked up my most recent package of nutiden, which on earth i was ordering yarn from "outside"!) -- léttlopi is always scratchy, sadly, but plötulopi + mohair is a dreamy combination, it feels silky and cozy at the same time. definitely worth trying! and Under the Duvet is my choice for the Twigs -- plenty of contrast with the other colors, but very harmonious together.
Hi, I need your help🙈. My English is not too good. I have fallen in love with the shrug and the soho square. The shrug…, well I can imagine how much yarn I will need. But the square….😣…, no, I don’t understand. Besides I would like to knit the larger shawl. I also checked it on ravelry but still I have no idea. I love love love the yarn you used. And as I will fly next week to the US I will have the possibility to buy that yarn (without paying all the shipping costs, fees and taxes to have it sent to Europe). I know, you wrote down the yarn you needed. But what did you buy? Twice of the main colors each and one of each stripe? Or only one skein of each color? If I look at the square I see much of the main colors and very little of the two contrast colors. And that is what you wrote in the description. I really cannot imagine that only one skein of each main color is sufficient as I am unfortunately a tight knitter. Have I mentioned… I would like to knit the big one😬? And you mentioned you just had a very little left at the end. But buying 6 skeines….., puh that will be very expensive😢. So may I ask you in short: if I like to knit the bigger shawl with that very very nice yarn you used, how many skeines of each color must I buy? Two for each main color and one for each other color? Btw I just found you. Thanks God I did find you. You both are soooo wonderful. I love your projects your yarn choices but most I love the way you present that podcast. So funny, so informative…. I feel that you have a lot of fun doing these videos. I hope you had a great time on Rhinebeck! It must be very famous. Everybody is speaking about it. Maybe sometimes I have the possibility…. Thank you so much to create all those nice projects and let us be part of them and your joy. I am really grateful that UA-cam finally brought me to you. It makes happy to watch your podcast (have just seen this up to now😥) and this is also valid for your two dogs 🥰. They were also sooooo funny and cute. Many greetings from Europe … and as said… thank you!💕
Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words. For the size I showed (SoHo Square, 36"), you need 1 skein of suri alpaca for each colour (or 328 yards). If you want the SoHo WRAP (50" square), you will need 900 yards of each main colour and 439 yards of the contrast. Enjoy your time in the US & hope you find the perfect yarny souvenier!
@@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765 thousand thanks for that information. We are in Florida at the moment. Will check the yarn stores here. My IPad cancelled all my open taps with all the places you can yarn in the US😡. With every American podcast I watched I opened a tab with the stores…, all disappeared😡😡😡😡. Okay a lot of work now😂. Thanks again💕
I found my tessellated vest collar and arm trim to be a bit stretched out looking because I went down two needle sizes per instructions so I would be cautious picking up less stitches. What if u just knit more depth instead for the collar or switch down one needle size part way through the collar?
Ugh... I really want that Collett pattern but I don't have PayPal (or want it) so I have no way of purchasing it. That shoulder technique is exactly what I'm looking for 😢
Jackie the reason there’s a transition at your yoke is probably not your gauge, but the fact you switched from knitting in the round to knitting flat. So you were at a different part of your colour changing yarn in each section, where you see on screen a bit of a difference. I love your tessellated sweater, after I saw your start last podcast I kept thinking about it and it has manifested your beachy vision perfectly. Only thing I disagree on is that I knit the vest and didn’t find it a slog at all, it went really quickly maybe cos I used Spincycle and enjoyed the colour change
Okay I'm going to watch the rest of this episode however, I just have to say right now that I'm going to be one of the crazy ladies running up to you and hugging you at Rhinebeck. I'm so excited that you're going to be there. Okay I may just run up to you and jump around because I'm not a big fan of hugging. I'll be wearing my tessellated pullover.
Ritual, ritual, ritual! Did I mention ritual??? 😂 That color combo is so feminine and have the same warmth to them, to me. Plus I think those colors would look stunning on you!!
Aw! Yeah, there’s no way we’ll be able to stop laughing the way we do bc we just are having such a great time! But totally understand if it’s not your jam. Sorry if we brought a little annoying energy into your day!
Ya so fun to see so many new podcasters joining in our great community. I looove all of your projects 😍💖
Aw thank you so much!!!
You.Did.The.Pattern.Justice.
I love your colors!!!
Hi there, I'm new to your channel, the knitty stew mentioned you and as soon as I saw you were in the province I'm in, I subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to watching. ;) Sunshine (aka Donna)
Aw!! Welcome Donna!!! And Leanne is an amazing soul!!
3:01:20 okay I like the hot pink though! It's still in that cool tone, but it's a strong contrast in tone to the other three! I think it would look incredible.
This episode was fun to watch with lots of 😂on this end.
OMG… your SoHo Square is JUST DIVINE!!!

Alright you two! I got so obsessed despite your warnings that I just dug through my stash and found I have an off white Nutiden, plus the Siluhett (that transitions from dark neutral to light neutral grey) and ordered some KFO mohair in the perfect shade, so NOW I'm obsessed!

This is amazing. So glad you loved it!! Haha honestly the final product is so good that I MAAAAAAY eventually do another…
No kidding. That sweater looks amazing on her. Not just the pattern and fit, but color. So incredibly.
I like the teal or the gray. I am not a gray person but really like it the best!!!
Great sweaters girls! Hello to the dogs ❤️
I knit both on knitting machines and by hand and its fun in different ways. Some yarns like nutiden i really enjoy feeling it in my hands. But a knitting machine is not magic instant sweater machine. Its more like the sweater pieces hangs on it but you still make the increases and cables and different shapings by hand with tools. Making stranded colorwork pattern is easier (not yokes) and very fun.
And knitting machines are such an old great invention.
🖤🩶🤍 your Saturday Shrug! So lovely.

Side note, I’m in my own Andrea Mowry hell with the Big Cozy Cardi… so so dull. But I want it so bad!
I just love your podcast and now can hardly wait for the Rhinebeck Review!!
Beautiful knits...as always. Jackie I now want to knit the soho square. I will be checking out Lisa's yarn at Sonder while at wool and folk. Love it... Thx you
Nutiden and a strand of mohair is perfect. I knit the Braids of Grass and I might have had 2 breaks. It was a joy to knit
I will be there!!! I will be at Rhinebeck for the first time this year as well!!!!! I really hope I get to meet y’all!!! I will be at Wool and Folk on Friday as well!! I’m so excited!!!😊
Hello Ladies. Nice to meet you.

It grew 3 inches in length which I’m happy about because it was very cropped. Love your videos and will look for you on the hill!! ❤️❤️
Dream State all the way!!!
Hate doing this vest pattern too! BUT will love this in the end.
Yeah I so hope to see you at Wool and Folk and Rhinebeck…And I will be wearing my vest!!!! Slowest knit ever!!!!
I vote for the purple for Jackie’s Twig
Glass of wine, my current WIP, my favourite podcast, on a chilly Saturday afternoon.....priceless! ❤️🧶🍷 I am currently working on the Cumulus Blouse by The Petite Knitter and waiting on my Thanksgiving order of Sonder Yarns, which should arrive on Monday!🎉
I love my tessellated vest and I thought it was so fun to knit. Planning to knit the sweater
Jackie, I was interested to hear you talk about the raglan length. My row gauge is never what patterns call for and I know I have to alter sideways sweaters and change the raglan shaping in some way. I almost always misjudge and have to rip back at least once. I learned my lesson when I tried to convince myself that my Lovenote was okay but I never wore it so I happily frogged the whole thing to make something else. The dogs didn’t bother me last time but I’m glad you had a less stressful episode with quiet dogs this time.
I started the Eurus sweater in the same yarn and am also in love. FYI - I ordered from Garntopia (to the US) and it was both reasonably priced in my opinion and quick. The yarn is so wonderful and I’m very glad I ordered.
You will love Rhinebeck- it is a giant fashion show - ask people what they are wearing - they love it - husband and kids know what they are wearing...it is soooooo incredible...
Thanks for your thoughtful comments regarding Tesselated vest & pullover! I've switched for the vest, and am getting up my nerve to cast on. However, the pattern has you use a long tail tubular cast on. I've done that for top-down projects but there are a heck of a lot more stitches to cast on going bottom up. Also how completely annoying is the way all the cast on stitches twist around and around?! Do you have a brilliant trick to suggest to make this cast on easier? Or are you team "just blow it off and use regular long tail cast on"? Thanks ❤
Ugh I am ALWAYS team long tail cast on unless there’s a hell of a good reason not to do it! Haha I also almost always use a regular bind off bc I really hardly see the difference and the difference in time is massive!!
Oh that Turtle Dove Cardigan, and in the green too. I have got to knit that. It looked gray when you showed the magazine.
Carmen, your vest is amazing! I'd leave the width of the armhole ribbing as is. If you look at retail versions, it's perfect.Jackie, you are a knitting machine! I vote for Under the Duvet for your Twigs. Beautiful colour choices!
Dream state!!
Carmen, permíteme ofrecerte una recomendación para tu cárdigan color burdeos del minuto 2:23:31. Le sucede que la abertura del escote (cuello) esta muy abierta, es la razón por la que no puedes usarlo abierto sin cerrar la tira de botones. Te propongo medites en la siguiente solución: Retira los puntos RIB del cuello, contando cuantos son. retíralo completo. Una vez tengas los puntos abiertos del recorrido completo del escote en su totalidad, recoge nuevamente uno a uno con la siguiente anotación importante: a) los puntos que tengas en el escote de las partes delanteras, debes disminuir 10 puntos por cada delantero (derecho e izquierdo) (esto recogerá el tejido del busto que te sobra en el escote). b) en el total de puntos recogidos en el cuello de la espalda, recoge otros 10 puntos (DISMINUCION) , a partir de este recogimiento puedes levantar tu RIB, confía en mi. Te quedara perfecto y podrás usarlo sin cerrar la botonadura, encajara perfecto tu escote respecto a tu busto. La causa de que te cuelgue el tejido de los delanteros es la retención que no tiene tu tela en el escote respecto a tu contorno de pecho. Te envío mi abrazo y te aseguro que ese cárdigan maravilloso merece el esfuerzo y un poco mas de trabajo.
Me olvidaba! los puntos que debes recoger los tomaras del centro del cuerpo, quiero decir, los 10 puntos de cada delantero deber retenerlos a partir de la cinta de botones hacia la linea que marca tu pecho en la medida mas ancha. Ninguno debes retener en el área de los hombros. te quedara igual de escote.
Love your classic grey pullovers! You might be interested in the world of "contiguous" set-in sleeve construction ... there is a group for that on Ravelry which lists all the "contiguous" patterns, and provides background on the construction. Isabell Kraemer has a free pattern "on the beach" that has been very helpful for me as a jumping off point.
Thank you so much, Aida
Hello Carmen, hello Jackie. Thank you so much for this podcast, it’s always funny and very informative. I will love to hear about Rhinebeck. Carmen your necklace it’s lovely, do you mind telling me some information? I will love to get one for my daughter ❤
Aw thank you! I actually wear three necklaces pretty much at all times but I looked back and I’m guess it’s the one with the circle and the feminine symbol that you mean? That I bought from the wonderful Lotta at @elkmarketyarn. I’m not sure if she is still doing her metalworks but I highly highly recommend grabbing one if she is!!
Love your podcast! Carmen, you mentioned not having knit a Weekender because of the boat neck - did you happen to see that there's a crew neck version now?! 🎉 I have knit a Weekender and love it- the boatneck doesn't really bother me the way I feared it might. I've actually grown to rather like it. But I am so excited to try the crew neck version!
mmmm, that Eurus! I may be sponge knitting that soon
For me, White Mountains by Midori Hirose is a great classic sweater that includes very thoughtful arm/raglan increases to fit my body (and I think there is now a fingering weight version). It might be worth checking out! I knit the Felix pullover twice. I knit it and used it a few times and like yours, the neckline was too big for me. I ripped it and re-knit with fewer stitches and a smaller needle and am much happier.
I knitted seven swatches trying to find my color combination. If I have time I will attach them together and make a cowl😊
You are so right that Melissa’s patterns have really low raglans. Which I find really difficult to wear with a winter coat!
But Espace Tricot has great customer service and helped me adjust it to make them higher!
Aw I love this!!
hello from Iceland, where it is already SNOWING -- and i'm deep into a test-knit for Inese Sang, so knitting on deadline but really, really enjoying it despite the time pressure. and so interested by your Skvattram discussion, as i made one this summer (single strand of Träda, no mohair), was WAY off gauge but in the reverse direction than what i'm used to (i tend to be a loose knitter, but this time i was getting way more rows per inch than the pattern, very odd), and ended up knitting much farther for the raglan before splitting than was called for -- but now that i've been wearing it for a while, it's also stretched out a bit, and is now a bit too big. clearly i need to make another one! and as beautiful as all the Tessellateds are (love Jackie's low contrast version), i'm totally in a mood these days for simple (maybe textured), single-color sweaters that really showcase the color & yarn, rather than super-complex colorwork.
and omg yes, nutiden and necklines -- i tend to like a higher, narrower neckline (it's cold here in Iceland, so wider necks are just too chilly), and i haven't yet found my magical go-to approach for getting them to work -- i'm actually about to re-do the neck of my Before Fall test-knit sweater (which is top-down, so re-doing the neck is going to require surgery), because it's much too open for me. keep experimenting with gauge & length, hopefully someday i'll have a perfect recipe. (and Carmen, i still think the Felix cardigan would look great if you only button the top two buttons and leave the rest open?) have a fabulous time at Rhinebeck!
and one p.s. from the land of icelandic wool (the postman actually asked me, when i picked up my most recent package of nutiden, which on earth i was ordering yarn from "outside"!) -- léttlopi is always scratchy, sadly, but plötulopi + mohair is a dreamy combination, it feels silky and cozy at the same time. definitely worth trying! and Under the Duvet is my choice for the Twigs -- plenty of contrast with the other colors, but very harmonious together.
I would like the Weasley knitting needles - but only to finish the WIPs that I’ve lost steam on so I can start the next shiny pattern I see.
Hi, I need your help🙈. My English is not too good. I have fallen in love with the shrug and the soho square. The shrug…, well I can imagine how much yarn I will need. But the square….😣…, no, I don’t understand. Besides I would like to knit the larger shawl. I also checked it on ravelry but still I have no idea. I love love love the yarn you used. And as I will fly next week to the US I will have the possibility to buy that yarn (without paying all the shipping costs, fees and taxes to have it sent to Europe). I know, you wrote down the yarn you needed. But what did you buy? Twice of the main colors each and one of each stripe? Or only one skein of each color? If I look at the square I see much of the main colors and very little of the two contrast colors. And that is what you wrote in the description. I really cannot imagine that only one skein of each main color is sufficient as I am unfortunately a tight knitter. Have I mentioned… I would like to knit the big one😬? And you mentioned you just had a very little left at the end. But buying 6 skeines….., puh that will be very expensive😢.
So may I ask you in short: if I like to knit the bigger shawl with that very very nice yarn you used, how many skeines of each color must I buy? Two for each main color and one for each other color?
Btw I just found you. Thanks God I did find you. You both are soooo wonderful. I love your projects your yarn choices but most I love the way you present that podcast. So funny, so informative…. I feel that you have a lot of fun doing these videos. I hope you had a great time on Rhinebeck! It must be very famous. Everybody is speaking about it. Maybe sometimes I have the possibility….
Thank you so much to create all those nice projects and let us be part of them and your joy. I am really grateful that UA-cam finally brought me to you. It makes happy to watch your podcast (have just seen this up to now😥) and this is also valid for your two dogs 🥰. They were also sooooo funny and cute. Many greetings from Europe … and as said… thank you!💕
Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words.
For the size I showed (SoHo Square, 36"), you need 1 skein of suri alpaca for each colour (or 328 yards). If you want the SoHo WRAP (50" square), you will need 900 yards of each main colour and 439 yards of the contrast.
Enjoy your time in the US & hope you find the perfect yarny souvenier!
@@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765 thousand thanks for that information. We are in Florida at the moment. Will check the yarn stores here. My IPad cancelled all my open taps with all the places you can yarn in the US😡. With every American podcast I watched I opened a tab with the stores…, all disappeared😡😡😡😡.
Okay a lot of work now😂. Thanks again💕
Dream state
I would magic needles only to do the stuff i dont want to, like sleeves or sewing the pieces together 😊. Otherwise I agree, I want to do the knitting!
I like Rituals, none of the blues/greys. I think it works best with your 3 colours
I am fully Team Bobbles! It's fun listening to your podcast- favorite line: "Look at this color! I mean, FUCK!" 😅😅😅❤
Hahaha I love this!!!
I found my tessellated vest collar and arm trim to be a bit stretched out looking because I went down two needle sizes per instructions so I would be cautious picking up less stitches. What if u just knit more depth instead for the collar or switch down one needle size part way through the collar?
Ugh... I really want that Collett pattern but I don't have PayPal (or want it) so I have no way of purchasing it.
That shoulder technique is exactly what I'm looking for 😢
Jackie made a similar collar on her Friday I’m in Love mod of Easy Like Sunday Morning
@@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765 really? Is there a tutorial? I didn't see it! 😭
Three color hat - Quinn hat by Natasja Hornby will look good with your Twig sweater too! This pattern has 3 and 5 color version.
Jackie nice sweater, like to see it in person as on my comp it is hard to see.
Jackie the reason there’s a transition at your yoke is probably not your gauge, but the fact you switched from knitting in the round to knitting flat. So you were at a different part of your colour changing yarn in each section, where you see on screen a bit of a difference. I love your tessellated sweater, after I saw your start last podcast I kept thinking about it and it has manifested your beachy vision perfectly. Only thing I disagree on is that I knit the vest and didn’t find it a slog at all, it went really quickly maybe cos I used Spincycle and enjoyed the colour change
1:33:40 0😊
Hahaha the dogs made me laugh
Okay I'm going to watch the rest of this episode however, I just have to say right now that I'm going to be one of the crazy ladies running up to you and hugging you at Rhinebeck. I'm so excited that you're going to be there. Okay I may just run up to you and jump around because I'm not a big fan of hugging. I'll be wearing my tessellated pullover.
I love the barking. Don’t feel bad to have the doggies in the video. People need to chill!! Love you two!
Under the duvet. Hands down.
Ritual, ritual, ritual! Did I mention ritual??? 😂 That color combo is so feminine and have the same warmth to them, to me. Plus I think those colors would look stunning on you!!
Under the duvet!!!
Personally, I'm not a fan of the lines I've seen in spincycle versions of the tessalated. Yours has smoother transitions and I think it's preferable
What does OG mean? Xx
Are you ladies having bad hair days??? It looks like you both got stuck in a rain storm 😅
Haha not sure how to respond to this one!
Cannot handle the nonstop giggling. Plese no more. Ugh
I wanted to hear about the actual knit project, but couldn't do it. Dogs ,giggling. Eh
Aw! Yeah, there’s no way we’ll be able to stop laughing the way we do bc we just are having such a great time! But totally understand if it’s not your jam. Sorry if we brought a little annoying energy into your day!
