I am so honored and happy that you like the Margrethe Mittens - Winter Edition! I really like your ribbing details. What a beautiful version 😍 Great idea with the three color work hack! I hope your friend likes them and maybe you’ll just have to knit another beautiful pair for yourself! You pronounced “Knitlidt” perfectly 😉
Just to add to what everyone is saying… thank you! Excited about your upcoming color work tutorial. Thanks to your other tutorials I have gained so much confidence and made things I probably still would just be wishing I could do, if not for you. You share your skill and knowledge in such a genuine and concise way. Our community is so very lucky to have you!
You are so much more lively in your videos lately, maybe more confident and relaxed. Anyway, it's a pleasure to watch your videos and I cannot wait for your colourwork tutorial. I've been postponing learning how to knit colourwork and if there's anything that can motivate me to do so and make it look less scary, that's definitely a tutorial made by you. Thank you in advance for that!
I love videos that include the host knitting 🧶. It fascinates me and I love to try new ways , `Florence please do a video with you knitting, especially with colourwork that would fabulous. ❤
So excited for your color work tutorial!! Your step by step sweater was my first finished garment and it was so incredibly helpful having each step filmed and explained in detail!
Welcome back! I love hearing you speak about your current knitting obsessions. Secretly hoping you'd manifest your love for colour work mittens into a pattern of your own! I recently finished your Mountain Walk Chunky (wearing them right now) and it's my favourite sock to wear ever! Thank you so much for sharing.
So I casted on my first colourwork project ever to knit while watching your video, then quickly noped and had to frog everything after the first 6 rows. Can't wait for your colourwork tutorial, I love how you explain things and I apparently need one desperately.
Loved this episode. I can’t wait for the colour work sweater tutorial- I was one of the people who said colour work when you asked us on Instagram what we’d be interested in!
Happy new year, Florence. I have decided 2025 will be the year I knit my first colourwork jumper so I am very excited by the prospect of your tutorial. Can’t wait. ❤❤😊😊
the navy blue in the sweater you're wearing is definitely your color! i've actually never noticed your eye color before, but the navy blue complements it so well and brought it out! :o)
Happy New Year from Canada! Beautiful knits, I especially love the WIP jumper, Northern Augustins No. 1 and can’t wait to see the finished piece. Oh and mittens make me so happy too! The Nordic floral looking ones you’re gifting your friend are to die for! Happy knitting from Rhonda @knitsbykeyknits
Your post about going back and changing the length of something encouraged me to fix a cardi that really needed to be longer! Thank you, it was worth it 😂
Wonderful makes as always ❤ I like to have knit themes sometimes, for instance I knit in autumn colours in the autumn, also had a shawl period where I studied different constructions. And of course Christmas knitting for Christmas. Maybe I will put beige knitwear on my list 🤔🧐 as I only have a couple! ❤
Regarding the Northern Augustins No. 4, you might like to try ladderback jacquard to manage long floats. It basically creates a double knit backing to carry your yarn across. The backing doesn’t show through like with catching floats. It seems arduous at first, but you quickly become very adept at the process. I’m definitely going to use LBJ when I knit this.
You inspired me to try colorwork mittens and I adore the ones I’ve finished. I also added a Latvian braid because I love the way they look on yours. It was so easy and a fun new skill to learn. I’ll be adding them to everything now. Thank you!
Terrific episode, so fun and fabulous knitting! More colorwork in 2025 is on my list, as well, so excited for your tutorial. Btw I highly recommend ladder back jacquard as a great technique to use instead of repeatedly trapping long floats. Well done, thanks 😊
You look so happy talking about your colourwork projects! It's a pleasure to watch. You mentioned you also like cabled projects nowadays. If you are okay with knitting bottom-up, I can recommend Michele Wang or Norah Gaughan's designs, they look amazing. I am currently knitting Stonecutter by Michele Wang.
I've been the opposite - going from colourwork/cables to plain/neutrals. But I'm a lot older than you and been through many phases (including Intarisia in the 80s), so now I think I am just adding balance to the knits. Lots of colourwork still happening, just less outrageous!
Yey, thanks for a new video! This was perfect for a little knitting session after my lecture🥰 Love your projects! I got yarn for the Northern Augustins No. 4 for my birthday (soft rose and dark red) and after hearing your comments about catching floats I thought about trying ladderback jaquard for the colourwork. Let's see it it will work out! I'm also very excited to see your colourwork jumper design, what a great addition to your UA-cam tutorials and how valuable for getting into colourwork! I would have loved that a few months ago when I first started with colourwork.
Like many others I am excited to hear that you will be doing a colorwork tutorial as that is something I have wanted to do for such a long time but have been far to scared to try!
Hello, love your videos! :) As an owner of a small business, I just wanted to add my two cents about shipping to UK - if you want to ship to UK, you have to get registered with a UK business bureau, get your VAT number, pay taxes and report your income yearly. You don't have to do that in majority of the other countries (except for Norway and few others). So it gets more complicated, especially since my accountant doesn't even speak English very well, therefore reporting to an English office is almost impossible. It's very sad, Brexit sucks. I know bigger companies can get representatives within UK for their company, but it's almost impossible for a non-English speaker or small business. And of course I'm not sure how big of a company Tukkuwool is, maybe they could afford that and it's sad they don't.
I love the sweater you are wearing today. You are such a beautiful knitter. You are really making me want to knit some colourwork items again. Since you like the Norwegian mittens, I wonder if you have heard of Sanquhar Gloves? Sanquhar is a small town in Dumfriesshire famous for these gloves. My husband was from there. I have knitted three pairs of these gloves (about 10 years ago) which I gifted. I never made a pair for myself though, so maybe now is the time. When you order wool from Europe, do you have to pay additional customs tax/duty? I haven’t ordered anything from Europe since Brexit, because I thought it would end up being too expensive. ❤
yes, I am familiar with them! I bought a pattern for mittens inspired by them (since I don’t think I have the patience for fingers) which i’d love to make some time and knitting for olive in particular add VAT at checkout, so i’ve never had to pay when it arrives in the country
I loved the pale blue and cream colourwork jumper that you highlighted in an inset photo when you were talking about northern Augustine's patterns. Could you tell me the name of the pattern please 😊
You make amazing stuff! I also knit with seeknit bamboo needles, I like them much more than metal tips (im a beginner and I have trouble splitting yarn with metal tips)
if you went back to the sweater with the bows to lengthen the sleeves I think adding a bow to just about the cuff on each side would be whimsical and cute
Not sure about stockist(s) in the UK but Vuonue do ship to the UK if you want more of their yarns! (I also spotted a Marimekko Unikko apron at the back :") I have a tote in that pattern + colour combination too; too bad I didn't manage to get that 60th anniversary fabric for some sewing projects.)
As for the pronunciation for Laine, it means 'wave' in Finnish and I would pronounce it how it's written. You can try putting it into Google translate and press the sound button.
that’s great news!! I will try to order some for sure and thank you for the pronunciation help! I appreciate it’s a finnish magazine but since it means wool in french a lot of people were saying it’s pronounced like that! perhaps I will never know
@@handmadebyflorence Ah yeah, I'm more familiar with Finnish and Laine is a Finnish company so I've always assumed that's how it's pronounced, but what you said makes sense too. I guess that's precisely why they chose that double meaning word for their name. I've also been eyeing some Vuonue yarns for a while, mostly sock yarns but others too now that I get more interested in wool that feel like wool (before I was more into soft yarns e.g cashmere). I've come across Dorset Horn wool recently and really like it. Looking forward to your colour work tutorial!
I think maybe your newfound love for colourwork and cables also comes from you learning more about the craft? Because those basic sweaters, as pretty as they are, lose some excitement, I think, once you have made a few yourself and realise it's quite easy...
Dear Florence, the jumper that you are wearing is absolutely amazing! The all- stranded- design is quite difficult on its own and here the pattern also looks intricate xxx is it ok if I ask a question about your videos - could you recommend an app for video editing? I love watching your videos and seeing your beautiful creations xx
For me personally, knitting together a folded hem (instead of sewing it down) only works for folding the neckline. On other parts such as sleeves or bottom hems, it flares out so awkwardly... I get much better results by binding off and sewing it down.
I am so excited about your color work tutorial. You are such a gift to the knitting community ! And I am so happy that you are in your color era!
I am so honored and happy that you like the Margrethe Mittens - Winter Edition! I really like your ribbing details. What a beautiful version 😍 Great idea with the three color work hack!

Love your videos. Can't wait to see more! You're the reason I'm addicted to jumper and sock knitting 🤣🫶🏻. You make some beautiful pieces. X
So excited for your color work tutorial!! Your step by step sweater was my first finished garment and it was so incredibly helpful having each step filmed and explained in detail!
just finished your step by step sweater for my first knitting project and I can't wait to knit up some of your other beautiful designs!
So happy to see you and all your colourful work Florence. You are such a beautiful knitter. Have a lovely week away ❤
Your excitement is so contagious. Can't wait for your colorwork tutorial. I have followed, made, and loved the other two! I'm ready!
Fantastic video. So much beautiful knitting to look at, and you present everything in such a positive and interesting manner.
So excited for the colorwork tutorial! Also, I think the Rauma yarn combination is stunning.
You have inspired me to knit some of those mittens. Wow, are they impressive! Love your content, and you're so talented with colorwork 🎉
I love that you are doing so much colorwork lately! It’s my favorite too!
He'd better be grateful... my thoughts exactly when gift knitting XD. Just finished your petal drop socks when watching this, lovely pattern!

Your mittens are a work of art, love them. I did color work before but it ended up messy. Hope you tell us more. Thank you
the navy blue in the sweater you're wearing is definitely your color! i've actually never noticed your eye color before, but the navy blue complements it so well and brought it out! :o)

yes I think this pattern would be great for ladder back jacquard!
"Is this not the most beautiful jumper you'd ever seen? I need it" this is also me

I really like the colours that you picked out for your new design. I’m excited to see what you come up with!
nice to see you back. I love your videos

Ahhhh a new video from you😍 I cant wait to watch it tonight
can't wait for your colourwork design!
Absolutely beautiful ! Like ! 🙂🙃

@ Thank you:)

Your projects are absolutely beautiful. You are very talented. :)
I love the color of your third jumper in progress! If you end up frogging it all power to you but it looks really lovely
I’m looking forward to the color work tutorial 😊
I would love to see a colorwork pattern from you! 🌞
Hi. FIRST time here, love your post.
Those sleeves are not too short- for ME!
For the Northern Augustin I would use the technique called Ladder back Jacquard. It is perfekt for Long flots
Yay new episode! I love your podcast so much.
Omg I love the mittens, just discovering Scandinavian colourwork!
Love everything x
Exploding over the fact you're going to do a colorwork tutorial!

Can you make a tutorial how you do your collars?

The cupboard door is shut, hooray !

oh yes I agree for sure!! it’s good for folded edges at the start of the piece but sewing looks better for folded edges at the end
❤
I am so scared to try colorwork!!! theres a pair of stardew valley socks I have had my eye on but I am way too scared
I think Følgetråd translates to following thread.
Tuku wool is non my list to try 🤎
It’s a little bizarre listening to a 20-yo presenting person talk about “young people” 😂
I’m definitely young (currently 24) but I guess I’m talking about teens mostly!
