Ahhh, cars… they never make that weird sound when you take it to the garage! Glad you are back on the road for…yarn shopping!!! Ups & downs of “What to Make Next Department”… It’s nice to know all (most ??) of us try to make a project work, and then arrrgggh…!! Depending on how stubborn (determined) I am in the moment, I always try again. Too many disappointments and I’m off to find/make a completely different thing. Of which I have many, many lists … so I’m always ready!!! hahaha Thanks for a giggle and a chuckle today! Happy Knitting (or stitching) !!!
Hi Tina....what was the car doing again😂🤣😂🤣 pleased to hear it's working better now without twanging😁 love the scarf. Looking good. Always a pleasure to listen and see yr progress. Take care. Xx
The yarn you picked for the "Love note" looks gorgeous! Also, in my opinion always, that loose gauge is different from the previous one. The previous one looked wrong, this one looks fluffy, so I think it will look fine! The new merino sock yarn you found looks also good and it comes in so many colours! I do wish they will sponsor your videos, why not? Looking forward to seeing your progress on the new sweater 🥰🧦🧶
I made a love note with a very cheap yarn and I LOVE IT! I omitted one lace row because it was going to hit my bust line (not good for me). It's a lovely pattern, I recommend it 110% Good to know the clutch it's fixed, my husband is right now changing one of my car's tire, it got stabbed yesterday 😫😫😫. Fortunately it's under warranty. Sending lots of good vibes ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Hi Tina thanks for another great vlog. Love the purple sock yarn in fact I loved all the yarn smith sock yarns you showed, but I just cant buy anymore just yet lol as I have to use up what I have first😄 I like your pretty red scarf too and using up your nords scraps to make another is a great way to save them.
Good to see you again Tina. I’ve already been down the Yarnsmiths route and stocked up so I’m happy to tell people how nice it is to knit with! I’d like to do a Felix cardigan in it. Glad you got the car sorted! Take care xx
Allô Tina, Comment vas-tu ? I'm happy to see that we have the same level of mechanical knowledge 🤣 The important thing is that your car runs properly. Your scarf is pretty and I can't wait to see how your new sweater unfolds. Take care 😀🤗
So funny 😂 🚗. I can’t wait to see your progress on your love note jumper. It looks so pretty. I love to be able to knit one but I need more experience before I start. Thanks Tina looking forward to your next video…oh a sending good luck your way 🤞🏻👍🏻
thank you, hopefully my video will show how straightforward the pattern is to knit and it will be a great success. The idea of a project video is to encourage less experienced knitters to have a go not put them off 🤣☺️
I made an order for the Yarnsmith sock yarn yesterday. Ruth loves to knit was using it and said how nice it was. She enabled me to buy a pattern too 😂 I have never tried the love note so look forward to seeing how you get on x
Beautiful scarf and beautiful color. I'm sorry that you have to be wearing it this time of year though. Thanks for the tip on that new yarn. I'll keep my eyes open for a sale.
Ohhh I was so happy when I saw you posted a new video ❤ Such a treasure! If you’d like a striped scarf that does not roll perhaps you could check the okapia scarf by Witre Design :) It’s a very simple scarf that comes in two widths. I made a skinny version but there’s also a wider one in the pattern. Hope that helps! 😊
Lovely Tina! 🙌🙌 I love your scarf 🧣 it’s a gorgeous colour too! I wear a scarf winter and summer 😸😽 I recently made a scarf using whistlebear yarn I made the fine vine Lace scarf the pattern comes with the yarn- I’ve made 4 actually for my mother and daughter,s and niece so this is my fifth one! Whistlebear uses their own Wensleydale sheep 🐑 and goats 🐐 wool and silk mohair. It’s gorgeous! Iv just found your videos so I’ll be watching them all! I’ve subscribed 😽
Hi Tina, I too love wool Warehouse and I did get excited that they have now have their own sock yarn but unfortunately I need to resist the temptation to purchase more as I have a few different brands to get through, but I am using their own aran and dk and I find them very nice to use. Another good video as usual oh and I must say I blame you for one of my purchases the book you made vixen from I couldn't resist it, that's for my winter projects, can't wait to see how the jumper works out I'm tempted I've never done an actual garment in the round one day I might brave it.
Hopefully seeing me work through the pattern will give you confidence to try it. Good luck knitting your animal friend later in the year . That will be a lovely winter project. I wonder who you will knit 😃
Oh! To have cashmere scraps! I love red, it will be perfect for the lovenote. And yes, I do laugh with you at some of your oops. But only because I have had many many!
Interested to see your Love note sweater project. I've had the pattern in my library for an age but for some reason I keep putting knitting it off. What will you do for the neckline - provisional cast on or start with a ribbed collar?
Hello! I’m actually having trouble with your cowl pattern from 3 yrs. ago, the lovely fan/ feather one. I cast on 170 sts. after doing row 3 of the lace section, it added 20 sts. which doesn’t work with the pattern the next time I do row 3. Any help would be appreciated.
Always good to see you Tina! I need to figured out my sweater knitting. I have a problem where even if I size down needles, appear to get gauge, even knit a size down, my sweaters end up so baggy and boxy, and I’m not a tiny person! I may need to bite the bullet and learn how to add waist shaping (I prefer a fitted look also) and maybe avoid superwash wool.
That's strange, I only use super wash wool and mine don't seem to grow . Personal question but do you have a larger bust . You may be better off going by your upper bust measurements. Right under your armpits. I'm not busty but I'm pear shaped so I have small shoulders and ribcage . Because of this I don't go too big for my bust because it will be too big everywhere else . I hope that makes sense. Also it's worth trying on when you have split for Sleeves to check how wide it is . I hope some of this is helpful. Also do you try it on before blocking? Is the blocking the issue ?
@@Simplyinstitches I am indeed busty. It's funny because I'm short, but fairly broad shouldered and buxom. In store-bought tops I usually have to get a large, but I end up swimming in most of the sweaters I make. I usually try on while the sweater is in construction, pre-blocking and post. I'm not sure what it is I'm doing, but maybe measuring the bust underneath the "girls" would be a good place to start.
Another very curvy girl here who's under boob measurement is 10" less than the full one! I have found that the best fit is to pick the size of my full measurement with no positive ease, this gives me positive ease else where but not enough to drown me.
Hi Tina, great to catch up with you! Never laugh at you Tina, only with you 😂 looking forward to seeing you start the Love note, I am crossing my fingers toes and eye’s that all goes well 😊 enjoy your weekend, they are saying it’s going to get warmer 👋 but we’re British so. We will wait and see ! 😂 Suze. 🧶🐏🥰 x
Tina you are my escape when the world is too much. So glad you are knitting again. All the best.
The sock colors are really pretty. Love you red scarf.

Hello Tina! I love that purple color of your socks! The red scarf is pretty, and can’t wait to see the new sweater makeup! Take care.

Those purple socks are cool 💜
Yes I love a rich purple 😃
Hi Tina how funny is this, I just was picking out my yarn for this sweater today. Great minds think alike lol.I’m so glad your back podcasting ❤️
Good luck with it , I wonder what yarn and colour you have chosen 😃
Good to see you again Tina. I’ve already been down the Yarnsmiths route and stocked up so I’m happy to tell people how nice it is to knit with! I’d like to do a Felix cardigan in it. Glad you got the car sorted! Take care xx
Yes a Felix would be fabulous. I wonder which colour you will choose
Allô Tina,

Your scarf is pretty and I can't wait to see how your new sweater unfolds.
Take care 😀🤗
Hi Tina, I’m a very new knitter and I’m loving seeing your knitting videos, would love to see tutorials as well!!!! 💚
I've already got a lot of tutorials on my channel. Take a look at my channel page 😃
Good luck with your lovenote Tina, what a lovely colour xx
Thank you, hopefully it will be a success 😳😁
Tina it’s always nice to have a visit with you and see your knitting projects. I love the blue cardigan you are wearing. Have a nice weekend
Thank you so much, have a great weekend
Love your scarf and I remember Foxy's red dress!
That dress saw some partying at Christmas 🦊💃🤣

I'm not upto date with Ruth , I need to see what she has been knitting up in it. Happy knitting on your new yarn , I'm sure you will enjoy it 😃
Beautiful scarf and beautiful color. I'm sorry that you have to be wearing it this time of year though. Thanks for the tip on that new yarn. I'll keep my eyes open for a sale.
Yes we are having horrible weather, hopefully it will change soon . Thanks for watching x
Best way I’ve found to stop curling is an icord edge. I use it on scarves and all my blankets. Love visiting as always Xxxx Deb South Australia
Great tip , thank you . I will give it a try next time
Ohhh I was so happy when I saw you posted a new video ❤ Such a treasure!

Yes Suze , it looks worse not better . We have put the heating on for an hour , it's June 🥶😁
If the clutch be twanging, kick to stop the banging

I think you're right , they are both cool and warm colours . Excellent, I love those colours 😃
Please can you put what you like watching on UA-cam please like knitting
Yes thank you that's a great idea. I would be interested to know who you enjoy to 😃
