    Your sweater (white one) is so cute! I’d use it as a layering piece in the winter with a white or black or brown turtleneck! It would be a great cozy piece!

      That’s such a great idea! I didn’t even think of that!

    The blue of your test knit tee is a beautiful colour for you!

    Good bear would be very happy to have a pair of dungarees for casual wear, and a waistcoat and bow tie for special outings❤

    Love your new yarn! Can’t wait to see what you knit with it! And the bears 😍! So fun! My 14 year old thinks one of them needs a pair of overalls. 🤎 Really appreciate all the info on new yarns, tools, tips, and patterns! Always look forward to hearing from you on here!

      Overalls are a great suggestion!

    Thanks for mentioning my yellow Suri. I also really like the blue you chose. The bears are so funny. Hugs from Portugal

    Another very entertaining and interesting podcast! Your tee fits you so well, love it! I had a "coup de coeur" for your Good Bears. I have a lot a lettlopi yarns left from previous project, I might give a try, it's so cute!

      It’s a great way to use Lettlopi leftovers!

    Always a great podcast! I just returned from your ‘neck of the woods’ and managed to visit Rosemary’s Gift & Yarn Shop! WOW! My friend lives in Portland and it took us no time at all to get there. I’ll be back in October….I better knit faster! Love the Bears and have looked at the Moochi book for baby gifts. Thank you again for podcasting! 😊

    There are no "flops", there are only knitting lessons. 😁

    Your little dog does not look like a mouse. He looks like a cocker spaniel. Cute. Loving the little bears too. Susan B is a great toy designer. You might want to check out the knitting book Mouche. All the animals are knitted in one piece with no seaming and are adorable. ❤

    The good bear is so cute!! I love your top, I've been looking at the suri top that is out and was honestly wishing that it was a v-neck so very happy that this new pattern is coming out. I just ordered some of the same yarn you used, love that color. I'm currently working with Pascuali Pinta and really enjoying it, so definitely excited to try out this base from them as well.

    • @svenjaknits

      The V neck is such a nice detail. I am loving Pascuali yarn as well!

      @@svenjaknits Also, I meant to ask, did you have trouble getting gauge on this pattern? Just curious what needle size you used (sorry if you mentioned this and I missed it). I'm casting this on and I'm down to a 3m instead of 3.75 and still off. Thanks!

    Hi Svenja! I had issues with yarn twist with a single ply yarn, and found the "Avoiding excess twist as you knit Technique Tuesday" video by Roxanne Richardson to be incredibly helpful for all yarn winding.
    She really makes it clear how the caking and the way you take the cake off the winder effects the overall twist structure of the yarn. I'd highly recommend it!

    • @svenjaknits
      @svenjaknits  Рік тому

      Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll be sure to check that video out!

    Adding long sleeves to the sweater will make it a comfy oversized cozy sweater. Oversized shirt sleeve T looks sloppy and big but oversized long sleeved sweater looks cozy like a sweatshirt. Just extend the sleeves.

      I wish I could but I don’t think I have enough yarn to do so!!

    What kind of shelves do you have and where did you get them?
