Another wealth of info in a YT video! I hang on every word. And I am envious of your beautiful work. I was disappointed to learn that there is no pattern for the gray cardigan. I am certain you have no intention of ever writing it up but if you DID, I know it would be a huge seller. It is THAT wonderful! Thank you!
I am definitely keen to see a tutorial on the grosgrain ribbon: one of my long-term knitting goals is to make a cardigan (I'm still on dishcloths right now :). (Btw, I'm super impressed with your pronunciation of Katia. Most anglophones can't pronounce it at all!) -- Katya
I had a bonnet(?) that was constructed in similar way, from i-cord, it was called a veil hat. The shape was like the folded kerchief worn by Russian grandmas, rather than an actual hat, so it could be worn by even adults. The increase was drastic so there was some ruching. I might knit one for myself this year I miss it.
Thanks for this episode! As always- it was very interesting. I would love to see how you attach the ribbon- I love cardigans and suffer from floppy button bands and have tried a few techniques to fix it but really would like to see how you attach the ribbon. I haven’t had much luck attaching cloth onto knitting. I was just about to try this on a sweater and have even purchased the ribbon, but I think I’ll wait for your tutorial. Clothing magnets! That is genius! I have to say- we share some of the same dislikes..floppy button bands, toe up socks, and two-at-a-time anything - which makes my head spin.
It’s been wonderful seeing and hearing your thoughts on these beautiful sweaters. They are gorgeous! Looking forward to your grosgrain ribbon technique video. Best wishes on your great nephew’s heart surgery. Our youngest grandchild had open heart surgery at 3 days of age, 5 months and 2 years. He did amazingly! God bless Children’s Hospital in Boston. He is 5 now and played T Ball in the spring and is now playing soccer! It’s amazing what these doctors can do. They also new ahead of time that he would be having this surgery. Thanks for another great podcast. It was wonderful watching you spin! You look like a pro to me!
Do you have video tutorials of your techniques for managing stripes in cuff down socks, especially with heel flap and gusset? I love the 50's raglan jacket and it looks great on you!
Love the knee hi / bootie for Rosie! I wish I had known how to knit 41 years ago so I could have made it for my firstborn daughter and then use them again 2 1/2 years later for my youngest daughter. I was given a baby shower gift of crocheted booties in turquoise variegated yarn to match the cardigan and beanie.
Ahhhh, I am currently knitting Tin Can Knits’ Beloved Bonnet for my great niece (or as you say “grand niece”) as I am watching this. It’s a very interesting construction. I think that it will be my go-to baby gift pattern. I am enjoying hearing about baby Rosie and I am sure that her heart surgery will do the trick. Surgeons are so clever to be able to operate on someone so tiny. Perhaps surgeons should learn to knit to hone their fine motor skills.
PS you’d probably like Saartje’s Bootees by Saartje De Bruijn, also Baby Kimono by Elizabeth Jarvis. They are both free patterns. The Kimono jacket is knitted sideways from cuff to cuff and is an interesting construction. Both patterns are knitted flat but it is quite easy to convert them to knit them in the round (for the jacket knit the sleeves using magic loop and at the side seams using provisional cast on and grafting; if you search for Saartje’s Bootees in the round, someone has already figured it out)
Thanks for the great tips! Your 50’s sweater is very pretty, it looks great on you, a perfect fit! I would love to see a tutorial on how to use the grosgrain ribbon :)
I have a 1942 Minerva Complete Knitting Manual in which there is a very similar over the knee infant sock pattern, “Calada.” Inspired idea of yours to knit the toe, foot sides and sole, and strap in contrasting color. My pattern calls for pink yarn only.
Hi Roxanne ~ I enjoy your videos! When you create your button holes in the grosgrain do you make them vertically or horizontally? Thank you for sharing your expertise! Your 1950 sweater looks great and fits nicely on you...love the color!
Wonderful video as usual! Love all your projects, especially the 50’s sweater….so beautiful with the raglan seaming. I also love the blue sweater with the cable around the hem. I found the Met Gala wool dress to be very intriguing as well. …And the baby bonnet…and…and…
Check out the Aviatrix hat by Justine Turner on Ravelry. It's the cutest little bonnet and a crap ton of people have made it. Check out the projects....there are some really cute ones. I will definitely be making a few of these. It appears that you make it starting on one side beginning with the I-cord and ending on the other side with the other I-cord tie.
Hmm...I think I made this hat years ago. I don't remember it starting and ending with i-cord. I'll have to see if I can find my copy of the pattern. My memory was that there were short row wedges to form the main body of the had, and maybe there were straps on either side? Thanks for reminding me about the pattern. It's been a long time since I thought about it!
@@RoxanneRichardson Yeah, I just looked at it closer...you add the strap at the end. I was picturing it in my head wrong. I think I'm still going to make it though. I also really love the one you're making so maybe I'll do both.
I enjoyed watching the inset of you spinning. How clever using a magnet for a sweater closure. I would never in a million years thought of that as a possibility. I was wondering if you use your machine to sew that ribbon on or do you sew it by hand? Thanks for the video. Have a great weekend.
I will have to figure out toe-up soon because there’s a sock pattern that requires it. It has YO eyelets that are in a “v” and it’s supposed to look like a bird!
Interesting comments about your finished 1950s jacket. I bought a copy of the pattern as a pdf download from someone who must own an original copy of the booklet. They obviously aren’t concerned about copyright issues, but it’s only just occurred to me that this probably wasn’t a legal transaction. Caveat emptor!
Just watched a video from The Chilly Dog in which she demonstrated starting toes with a rectangle. It was interesting to me and thought you might be interested.
I used a garter stitch toe for my first toe-up sock, because it's not something that can be done cuff down. I did a video on that technique earlier this year: ua-cam.com/video/tUsi50FBwc4/v-deo.html
I saw your video and it was really a different way of starting a toe so now I’m keeping an eye out for unique ways to knit things. I so much admire your adventures in sweaters, but I’m more of a sock person. 😁
the Met Gala dress! WOW!
Your smile is so heart warming in your past and present pic of your thumbnail 👍

I knit that for charity knitting. Thought it was great. I love tin can knits

Excellent idea for a clothing magnet. Love it. :)
Your experience of 1950's jacket enlightened me in many ways , you have keen eye for details,which is very interesting learning. Thank you .
Thank you, your 50's sweater is super! I have had sweaters with grograin ribbons and I really liked it. A tutorial would be great.
I really like this 1950's one.
Your purple 50's sweater is superb ! I am also interested in a tutorial onhow and when to use grosgrain ribbon.
I made a “Beloved” hat for myself, and I found it really keeps your ears warm in the winter!
yes, the jac looks great on you! all the details really show up. glad you waited for right buttons!
Thanks for the great tips! Your 50’s sweater is very pretty, it looks great on you, a perfect fit! I would love to see a tutorial on how to use the grosgrain ribbon :)
The finished jacket is beautiful! It is so fun to see the process over time.

What is the name of the toe up pattern you are speaking of?

Burning question is if you have a semi-worsted wool from Canada, is it called a zed twist instead?
It's spelled Z-twist, regardless of how you say it. :-)
Canadian here.
I say Zed-twist
It looks much better on you
