That would be a fun crochet project. I have a pre teen and for her to see what this looks like and how thing work when she asks and or is ready then it would be a good little tool..
I made the Half & half for my newborn this year! It will be his outside stroller blanket during walks when the weather cools down here. Was a great pattern to work on during my pregnancy brain era lol
What a lucky little fella❤️❤️❤️
Hello, Inga, I have been catching up on all your videos since the first episode. I am totally inspired to use up all my acrylic yarns and invest in natural fibers, dyeing and one day spinning. I'm interested in seeing your knitting technique from your point of view. I'm a yarn thrower looking to learn different techniques, currently, I am mastering the continental. Thanks for the great podcast and the yarns you have a beautiful.
Hi Inga. What a wonderful project to weave all your scraps.Your rug idea for the cabin is perfect. I love your basket. It’s beautiful!
That rug idea is ingenious! Way to use your scraps in a totally useful and novel way.
I'm so happy a friend recommended your podcast; you really are so delightful & interesting to listen to, and wow your knitting (and weaving - what a great idea!) is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing all your projects and gorgeous wool collection on your podcast - it's so beautiful! :-))
Im so glad you enjoy it😘
I love the shawl. i have seen alot of them. i love the juniper green with the neutral. then when you make another one- you must use the turmeric and lovely rust color together. love your color sense.
Thats a great idea!
I love your podcasts and thank you for sharing how you create helical knitting. I am working on a project that calls for helical knitting and realized that I had been doing it wrong just by listening to your description! I redid it and the project is so much better!!
Thats great! Im glad i made somewhat sense hehe with my rambling😄
I just finished a so Summer shirt! So cute
Yey!!
The colors look amazing for the purl soho wrap. Why not do thick stripes of the other three colors?
just a thought- dont buy a large floor loom unless you are really committed. if there is a textile guild near you- many times you can rent time of a loom- and even get help making and warping it. the actual weaving goes fast but its the set up that takes time. i bet you will find someone close by that has a loom that is willing to share. great looking rug. love the stripes.
Do you have any idea what the technical name is for the loom she showed us in the video? I currently own one of those cheap flat frame loom that is 50 by 40 cm. I can’t make anything longer than 50 cm or wider than 40cm on it. But her loom looks like I can do whatever length on it. Please help me find one like hers online! 😊😊
@@user-fc3sx2cw5x yes- it is a 4 harness table loom. they are on lots of crafting and art site as well as from big weave loom companies. just search Table Loom 4 harness. they come in all different widths- but just know you will be able to make smaller fabrics on wider looms but not wider. so if its a 18" wide- you cloth will be around 14-16" wide when you take it off. length is limited becuz the warp can only be so long before you run out of space. usually a couple of yards length is typical for table looms
@@kathykujawa6183 yay thank you so much for not only replying but also for knowing the answer to my question and for that useful info too! *Quick question:* what does the “4 harness” refer to? What does it mean? 😊😊
@@user-fc3sx2cw5x ok- you know on your flat loom how you have to pick up every other warp thread before you make a 'shed' or tunnel to pull your yarn thru? well the harnesses help automatically create that opening for you so you can speed up weaving. if you have at least 4 harnesses you can also set-up your warp threads to make twill and jacquard patterns. here is a quick video demo: ua-cam.com/video/jzlDozH1EK8/v-deo.html another video on youtube is here: ua-cam.com/video/Y-THnIaBbDE/v-deo.html
@@kathykujawa6183 Thank you SO much!!! But I have another question 😅😊 I want to start making my own loom rug but I’ve always had this following question. The other day I realised I can ask you because you seem to be happy to explain stuff to me 😊 so the question is: when I make my rug, I have to do three different strips because my loom isn’t wide enough to make the rug in one go. However mmy question is, how can I join the 3 strips seamlessly? I don’t want any bulk, you see. But what is the way that people usually go about that?
I am always astonished at how much knitting you accomplish from podcast to podcast!!! You are seriously the fastest knitter in the world!!🌹❤️
Agreed! So many garments too!
Yes, and in the meantime training to be an ob-gyn.... Where does your time come from? (Sorry, that's a paraphrase of a Dutch saying. I hope you understand the meaning.)
Thanks again for this episode. I totally agree with Gena, I prefer the green as second color for your half and half wrap. The tumeric and the rust go very well together.
Your crocheted uterus is too funny! Could you make it into a stethoscope holder? That would get a smile from anxious patients. Lovely episode, thank you.
I just ordered some Holst Garn to make the half and half. Love yours! You must knit in your sleep to get so much done!
I’m a very newbie crochet-ier 😆 I bought an amigurumi turtle toy kit to try it, maybe after that I can try an uterus, it’s amazing!!
I am always happy when I get notified of your new podcast! I love seeing your progress and you pick such great designs to knit! You are very inspiring!
🤔 Green is my vote for second triangle.
Hi Inga, to prevent lumpy instant coffee try a tiny amount of boiling water first, enough to dissolve the granules, before you add the oat milk. Looove that white T, looks great on you 💜
I loved this episode! weaving seems like a really creative way to use up scraps... maybe I'll have to try it...
Your makes are always beautiful but I just fell in love with loomed rug... it's going to look so cozy in you cabin,
Ivana ❤️
I love your Sunday tee! I’m trying the Friday tee, but have been having a hard time getting through it. It’s in time out at the moment. Not sure if I should 🐸 or just power through and finish it yet.
Hmm depends on whats bufging you, maybe give it a rest in the naughty corner then decide😛
I definitely love the notification “someone liked your video , you have a new subscriber “.
If you ever run out of your knitted garments to wear each podcast, please show us them again! I so enjoy your podcast! The crocheted Cuterus is wonderful! What could be better than physiology lessons in fiber! I also really enjoyed hearing that you're using your scraps in the weaving project (but like you, my first love is knitting).
Hello from Mounds Illinois. I would love to crochet the uterus for my granddaughter she is a x-ray technician .
i love the crocheted uterus. it's soooo adorable. your fo's and wips are all gorgeous as usual.
A hint for your weaving.- warping from front of the loom, you can tie a new warp onto your old warp. Be careful the old warp doesn't slip through the huddle before tying on. A little bit of fiddling to get your knots through the huddle and you're set to wind onto back beam.
Mind blowing😍😍😍😍
Do you have any idea what the technical name is for the loom she showed us in the video? I currently own one of those cheap flat frame loom that is 50 by 40 cm. I can’t make anything longer than 50 cm or wider than 40cm on it. But her loom looks like I can do whatever length on it. Please help me find one like hers online! 😊😊
This is called a table loom. You could look on Ebay or Amazon. There is a yarn store in Massachusetts, USA, called Webs. They also have looms and weaving supplies. Good place to see what is out there.
@@nanastevens4094 hi again, I want to start making my own loom rug but I’ve always had this following question. The other day I realised I can ask you because you seem to be happy to explain stuff to me 😊 so the question is: when I make my rug, I have to do three different strips because my loom isn’t wide enough to make the rug in one go. However mmy question is, how can I join the 3 strips seamlessly? I don’t want any bulk, you see. But what is the way that people usually go about that?
I too love rust and burnt orange tones! The rug is adorable. My daughter’s decor is modern farmhouse (Magnolia Market style). A table runner like your rug would be so cute on her large table!
Unsolicited advice. - the green! The oatmeal has a greenish tinge on camera.
I really enjoyed your podcast today. I loved the tee you are wearing. On the shawl you are making, after you showed all the colors, I really felt like the green spoke volumes and would really be lovely, but you need to decide for yourself as you will be the one wearing it. I also LOVED the crocheted uterus! I think that was a great gift from the other podcaster and very fitting for you.
Cutest uterus! My loveliest friend is. Gynaecologist, she is also the worlds most stylish Gynaecologist (dr Brenda Kelly at OUH). I’m definitely going to crochet her one thanks for sharing your knots and thoughts just pure joy.
Hi Inga,
You always find the cutest patterns and the perfect color to knit them in. All of them look great on you as well. The tank top is a bit big/boxy on your tiny self; maybe steeking the sides a little would work. Show off that tiny middle! :D Happy to hear work has returned to more normal shifts.
Enjoy your weekend,
xoxo's Sandie
Such beautiful projects once again!! I am working away on my Windgate and Half and Half Wrap. Although your projects are much further along than mine are but both are still so relaxing. In seeing your I-Cord edge I may frog my half and half as that really makes a beautiful edge.
This uterus is SO cute! I'm thinking in crochet one because I've endometriosis and I think that can make look to my uterus more carefully. Like a symbol of a good relationship...
I love the rug idea can’t wait to see it finished good luck
Love your videos. I agree about the i-cord bind off from A Friend to Knit With. It has been a game changer for me, as well. I love, love, love the look of the finished product.
Thank you so much for the shout out! I shared a grumpy version of the cute-R-us on a previous episode so that's also fun to do. I'm so glad it made it to you safe and sound 😊💙🛩🌍
Me too! A grumpy one, how amazing😂
Love this episode. The tee you're wearing is beautiful. I have been looking at casting on the half triangle shawl too.
I love the crochet uterus, it would be really cute to stuff it with dry beans or rice and make it into a little heating pad for cramps! Also, if you think the linen quill yarn is soft now, wait until you block it, it is luxurious!!!!!
Michaela - that stuffing idea is GENIUS!
That is a great idea!!!
This time I'm not knitting while I'm watching you but I do some painting 🧡
You are using a rigid heddle table loom as opposed to a multi shaft floor loom. If you choose to purchase a floor loom in the future, an “X” frame loom such as a Schacht can fold up and save space. ☺. There are so many options.
Tack för ytterligare ett fint avsnitt! Jag vill tipsa om ett mönster som jag tror du tycker om, gå in på Ravelry och kika på Livmodervanten, design Karin Holmström!
The kiln red is my favorite! I do think that the green or yellow might look better with your earthy wardrobe though. I’m also knitting the half and half triangle wrap, but the smaller one. I chose Oatmeal Gray and Rose Granite.
My mom taught childbirth education and would have loved the Cute-r-us! ❤
Try Taat socks, two at this same time, using magic loop. Best way to do two very simular things:)
Lovely knitting! I always look forward to your podcast. The weaving with yarn stash is beautiful! While you are making a rug, I think a table runner as decoration would also look fabulous! You always inspire me!😊💛🧡
I would totally crochet myself a cute uterus!! And maybe put it in my office!
I love how your brise top looks! The cropped fit and the lacey yoke look so good in that sage green 💚💚
Loved this episode and the last one! Now that I spent some time in Norway it is even more interesting 💕
I’m big fan of your knitting 😍 love to watch ur every podcast
Binge watching. Love your podcast
A dear friend recently had to have a hysterectomy for health reasons, so I'd love to crochet her a uterus!
I would choose the green!
I have a system of in-between wearing garments too - it’s good to know I’m not the only one !
I would love the crochet this for a friend! She is also training to be a gynaecologist
I have a couple looms that I would use more except that I hate the warping (setup) process. Maybe I just don’t have enough patience. 🙈 I think your rug will be very nice with the sections of random stripes.
I loathe the warping😔
I vote for the dark green color. Love the rug! I enjoy your UA-cam channel because we are drawn to the same kinds/colors of yarn. I can't believe how many projects you can finish!
I also want to say that I think you're so pretty. You really remind me of a young, mid 1970's, Emmy Lou Harris. You could be sisters. Google her if you don't know who that is. I'm old enough to have been a fan from the early 80's.
I had to google her, I see what you mean :D
Already binged your podcast a bit, new fan, here! Do you think with the Sunday tee one could use thicker yarn (say DK) and knit a bit less? I love this tee but fear I'd be working for ages with sock yarn...thanks for your channel! cheers,m
I have done it to other patterns! Depends on your size, bigger gauge means you need to go down in size ao if your already a xs it might not work
Question: I’m currently knitting a colourwork/fairisle cowl, and I’ve done all of the fair isle chart rows. I reached the last 2 rows, and these rows ask for me to knit a plain stockinette in the background colour, so I went ahead and chopped off my other pattern colour. But I’m confused about gauge. Stockinette’s gauge is different to stranded colourwork; stockinette rows tends be wider than stranded colourwork rows. So If I use the same size needle, wouldn’t I end up with a project that became wider? Help please! *In a nutshell, how do I switch from fair isle to plain stockinette in the same project?*
It really depends on your gauge, my colorwork is looser then my stockinette(oppoaite to most peoples experience) i recomwnd swatching and then change to the needlesize that gives you the same gauge in stockinette as you have jn your colorwork🥰
Yay, I’m caught up with binge watching your lovely podcast 🥳 Thanks for sharing your knitting and surroundings, it’s fab to see another culture, especially one so fond of knitting 🥰 A non-knitting related Q for you, I see a lot of houseplants in the videos, do they struggle with the low light levels there? Looking forward to more episodes in real time 😁
Yeah in the winter they dont really grow much and need to be in the window sill, very few will thrive into the room but im hoping to one day move out of the basement to have more natural lighting, i bought some plant lights but im not sure they make a difference:p
I made a crochet uterus too, for my women’s health physiotherapist! I also made her an anatomically correct crochet clitoris 😂 I’m making her a second uterus for her baby, but this time I’m putting a rattle in it.
Cute!!!
omg i LOVE the uterus oh my god thats so cute
I would love to make a crocheted uterus. I never got around to a pussy hat and I am feeling short on gyne organs!
You should indulge!😄
Watching you from the beach while knitting 😎🌴🏖️
Jelous!
Hello from Canada 😊 Lovely podcast as always Inga! I LOVE your idea for using up your scraps in a woven rug--It's turning out so beautifully 🤗💕
Love half and half wrap. So many choices in colour! Good luck choosing. I use my half and half as a lap blanket when I'm reading and want something cosy to keep warm.
I love the rustic colours looking forward to autumn.....i was thinking how do you get the knitting done and fit work in as well......................
So nothing wlse🤣
Would a wool rug felt under foot? Or is it only if it gets wet and agitated? I love the idea and want to get a loom as well!
It would require alot of agitation and wetness to felt😄
Hi Inga,
How do you know what size of needles you use for cones? They don't have labels. I love your podcasts, especially the acquisitions 😉♥️
I swatch until i find a fabric i like🥰😘 its a light fingering though so if you hold it single probably 3 mm needles
@@knittingtraditions thank you very much for the answer 😀 🤗😘
The half and half wrap would also be great on the back of a sofa at your cabin.
Oh yes😍
I love the Green
I think this scraps rug is an amazing idea and I'm sure it will look great when it's done! I'd love to try weaving one day
❤️
hi. I would choose the green for the triangle shawl, as its also a "natural" color. I really enjoy your vlogs as your manner of speaking is calm and its just what i need after a week of IT projects.
Wow! Your environmental pictures are beautiful and so loving all of your knits! 🐑❤️🐑❤️🐑
You might find with your cottons to try steaming them after wash/dry. I find with my weaving 100% cotton pieces they really soften up with a good steam iron and wear. ;)
Beautiful as always! I think any of the three color options for the shawl would look gorgeous. If it was for me, I love green and cream together. For a baby I would probably go with the yellow tone. There is no wrong choice!
Wonderful episode. Now I have several more patterns for summer tops to check out and living in EC were moving towards our summer so the timing is perfect. I would vote for the green for your other half of the wrap.
EC=Ecuador?
@@orangew3988 yes. I live in Cuenca, EC.
Wonderful😍
Thank you! Love all your yarns they are my favourite colours as well! Like this music on your podcast so relaxing! Xx 🤪
You are the ultimate inspiration for summer tops! I definitely need to add a few to my wardrobe. I am working on Purl Soho's rectangular color block blanket for one of my kids using a variety of knit pick yarns and I also find it to be a comforting knit. The rug you are weaving is such a brilliant idea and seems like the perfect thing to add to your cabin. Happy knitting and I look forward to seeing all your progress next time! 💕
The rug is so lovely! I am similar that I really struggle to find 'scrappy' projects that I like, maybe it's just a taste thing. It would be super nice to do one thin strip of a neutral down the middle of your rug, sort of tying it all together - just a thought! Beautiful projects and acquisitions as always
Thank You for another Nice episode , love the rugg you’re making , What a great idea!! 🌾
As always I love 💕 your makes and that Cute R Us was adorable/beautiful!! Love it all!
I would love to be added to the giveaway for the Cute-r-us pattern. I've made a few stuffed animals, and it's lots of fun!
Ooo that rug is already looking so gorgeous!! 😊
Another great episode! I'm loving your Half + Half Triangles wrap....you can't go wrong with any of the color combinations you showed. I'm excited to see which one you choose.
Me too😄
I was trying to find crochet anatomy patterns! Winning the pattern would be so cool :))
Thanks for your latest episode, lovely to see you again. Well done with your half and half wrap, I'm doing a small version. I think the turmeric colour would look particularly beautiful with your first colour and suits you so well.
Love your finished tees beautiful yarn, would love to be able to wear wool but it brings me out in hives. Stay safe love and hugs
The urterus toy is soo cute! I used to crochet amigurimi but haven't done that in a long time. I would like to try this one!
A lot of nice knitting as always. Especially I like the Brise top!
More gorgeous knitted loveliness. Thanks Inga.
this is going to be the most gorgeous rug if you make at least 3 stripes. Fit for a castle(cabin)
I'm working on a tunisian double stitch sweater
Use the green I think the turmeric and the other color looks fantastic together. Wish I could afford to buy those two colors ringtones now to make one l do enjoy and look forward to your podcasts.
Mycket trevlig episod. Tack! Och din matta är så fin. Skall bli spännande att följa den processen.
Hello Inga. I enjoyed your podcast. Your summer sweater looks lovely. The rug you are making is gorgeous with all the colours in it and I was surprised at what you have achieved in such a short time, wow. Take care and see you soon xxx
Thank you 🥰
Love your weaving. What a great idea. 🌷
Your favourite colour is my favourite colour. Excellent podcast. I am helical knitting with my Lykke needles …we are twinzzies ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Yey🥰😍
I always enjoy watching!
