Hi Rebecca, you do not have to bring all the tyarn you need with you to New zealand. We have beautiful yarn produced here, you should have a look! You will have a great holiday ❤
I was thinking the exact thing
I so appreciate the way you embrace the potential of your designs to be reinvented through different fiber use and optional modifications. That kind of knowledge sharing and encouragement strikes a perfect balance between professionalism and community. I’m gobsmacked by how much you accomplish while also having a full time job. Inspirational!
Love that you used a contiguous shoulder design for a colour work garment! That is my favourite shoulder design. So wonderful to have a colour work sweater with his shoulder!! Thank you. Can’t wait for your Lauder cardigan btw. Really appreciate you putting so many options into each design, and including the options in the cost of the pattern. Thank you!!!
I'd never used the method before and I LOVE the fit. Won't be my last contiguous!
LOVE the Rhue, love the Tydes and just everything you showed on this episode. your patterns are so creative yet so wearable, so smartly designed, yet so simple. Looking forward to knit those new patterns.
Dear Rebecca, it is amazing how your enthusiasm and creativity transpires through the screen directly into my living room. Having the best of times with your designs and I am looking forward to each one of them. What a wonderful prospect for this year!!! Lots of love from Germany to you
Another fab podcast thank you - I still can't believe that with all the patterns available in the world you still manage to create new and really different styles and designs. They're beautiful ❤ So excited to hear you're planning a trip to Oz and NZ! I hope you have time to really explore our beautiful Aotearoa, so much to see and do. A few sheep here and there 😉 (i think we still have the highest number of sheep per person in the world) and some pretty amazing yarn dyers. I love Australia too, lots of variety there and it's HUGE. Happy planning!!
Hi Rebecca, a rule if thumb as far as what you suit best is to look at your veins on your wrist in daylight. If you can find any daylight, that is😂. If they are blue, you suit cooler colours, if they lean to green, then you have warmer undertones. Much love and thanks for an excellent podcast. I never miss them ❤❤❤
Your designs are so very lovely and the size inclusivity is such a plus (ha!). I love the Tydes pattern and want to make that one day because it is simply (in both senses) beautiful. I appreciate that regarding yarn choices you mention options and also talk about color possibilities. Rebecca, your talent is amazing. Love hearing you talk about your art!
Ahh love this so much, thank you!
You are a force of sunny, creative energy and I love your designs! Amazed at how your brain must work to create such stunning knitting. Thank your for your generous sharing.
Vanissia & Aude definitely influed me to get the Rhue pattern. Besides it being a beautiful pattern, the shoulder construction looks so interesting. Always good to learn something new with each project. I really don't knit alot of repeats of patterns and need something different each time I start a project.
I am loving the colors you picked on you…. The navy and white for sure and the orchid sweaters are probably my fav on you, but I would totally wear them too! ❤❤❤
I absolutely love the swatches for your lace cardigan. Oh my, so stunning. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. You are making awesome progress with all your projects. Beautiful work.
This Lauder Cardigan is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! My mother has this really lightweight, thin wool cable cardigan that she's had forever that she has been MACHINE WASHING (my heart hurts), so it started getting holes and is no longer useable. I found some yarn that is very similar in color and have been looking for the perfect pattern - so I can't wait for this to come out!! Thank you!
Living in Florida, I selfishly would love love love summer versions of your heavier sweaters ❤
I’m in love with the Tydes sweater.
😮😍 The colors…WANT. I was going to comment about the red against it but you just said it as I’m typing... I hope someone incorporates that color into their test knit so I can copy it when your pattern becomes available.
I am so happy you are a reader too, I loooooved discovering this dyer through your account! I’ve been rereading the ACOTAR series and it’s giving me life! Which says a lot because I had an emergency procedure at the beginning of the year and have been at home ever since. So THANK YOU for being both a knitter and a reader 🤍
Looking forward to the Tolsta Tank and the lace cardigan! The lace swatches look exciting 😮 so much to knit, not enough time lol
Great idea for the duplicate stitch. Your designer skills and creativity are growing so fast! 🎉. Tydes is eye-catching-especially in purple and red!! Summer Tydes would be nice in a narrower stripe.
I can't wait for the tolsta variations! What an exciting year you have coming up ❤
I was trying to decide between two different podcasts to watch while I knitted tonight and I picked yours. OMG! That must have been Devine intervention! I will be buying your lovely new Rhue sweater this weekend. I bought some yarn in Austria in December but did not have a pattern for it. Then you go and show your Rhue and it is PERFECT. I mean absolutely perfect! Even your recommended yarn is exactly the same meterage as what I bought. Thanks so much! 🧶🤗🧶
Love all of your designs, but I can't keep up😅 although I was brave enough to apply for your new test knit😊 hope you enjoy your time until your big trip! Looking forward to see ❤
I’ve been waiting for Rhue and now I’m looking forward to the lace cardigan! So many great patterns! 💗
Your energy level is very impressive with all that you have going on. I love the fact that you design such diverse patterns. They are all unique in style and design. I see your patterns on so many other podcasts. I think the ladies of Wool and Wine have knit at least 7 Tolsta Tees between them. I have the Alder pattern and think I want to try the Rhue for the construction. Your patterns are very thoughtful.
I love your color version, and the rust color the other model is wearing ♥️🧶💫🙌🏻. And TYDES 😮OMG I absolutely LOVE YOUR color and yarns 🔥😍🧶🥰♥️♥️♥️😂💫
Yessss the rust one is
The rust one is mine ☺️ - it's a 50/50 llama wool blend from Camarose! It's a bit heavier than recommended but it's a rustic single ply so made a good dense weatherproof fabric. I knit it in yellow and brown but overdyed it with red.
Hi Rebecca, I love the Rhue sweater so much and have absolutely added it to my Ravelry queue, plus I want to knit it in the colors of the sample you showed. Just gorgeous! Looking forward to hearing about your desert island yarns!
I saw your sweater on Audes podcast yesterday and fell in love! Rebecca you have so many beautiful things coming out , it’s so exciting! Remember to take care of yourself busy gal! I’m definitely purchasing the pattern today. ❤
Ahh thank you so much! I've just poured myself a big Gin and tonic and I'm about to have a long bath. Chill time is here!
@@the.creabea that’s sooo funny because I was going to say you need to take a long soak! My favorite way to relax!
I also do combination knitting! It’s how I taught myself (accidentally lol) and I find the purling so much more comfortable. I don’t find it’s quite tidy too! But I do have issues with the neatness when I knit ribbing flat, so I taught myself to Norwegian purl for plat ribbing
Hi Rebecca, I'm loving your new color work sweater. I've never knitted a color work sweater before. This year is the year! I love the comment you made about the good smelling man walking by;'I have the same exact reaction. ❤
Your weekend must be 15 days long! You are total inspiration and energy. It's always refreshing to sit down and listen to your podcast.
Hey I love you colorwork so much! It reminds me of lace, so good.
I can't believe how productive you are. I just bought your Rhue sweater pattern, will probablt knit it for my daughter in law.
great episode, thanks. 👍
I love your joyous energy, and I love your fast talking. For most other podcaster I always speed up the video, but with you it is just perfect.
greetings from 🇨🇭
Beautiful navy & white sweater! It will be next on my list to knit ❤
Oh I wish I didn't already have my next several projects lined up with yarn ready to go or I would apply. Will definitely knit this in the future. I just finished your Kerr sweater and I knit the Cargill just in time to wear it for Christmas. I adore both of them so much. The kerr is my perfect drop shoulder cool girl vibe and my Cargill is my fancy holiday sweater. Both amazing patterns and I know I will love the Tydes sweater once the pattern is released
I think I might make this sweater for my sweetie. Thanks for another interesting and inspiring podcast.
You can fix your combination ribbing by reverse mounting your purl stitch (which when you combination knit it, twists it back) ❤
I LOVE the Tydes sweater!! I will definitely be adding it to my queue when the pattern is released! I would love to one day test one of your patterns but I want to get a bit more experience with garment knitting before I apply for one.
Hi Rebecca, Congratulations on another pattern release. I bought the Alder pattern this week and have been swatching. I don't think you need to buy the Laine with your pattern. Magazines usually send a printed copy to the designer.
Congratulations on your pattern release. I’m excited to cast on. Have you looked at The Essential Beanie? It is by Andrea Gaughan. It is a great pattern.
Thank you for the amazing versatile designs , I have just purchased the Rhue sweater and was wondering what the Lore colours were that you used? Yours looks like a nice green, but I cant find one similar here in Australia. Love your podcasts ❤😊
Hi. Your Tydes sweater looks fab on you. The yarn and colour choice is 😍😍.
I had Katia yarn from Belgium years ago. (My sister lives there) but now i also have seen it here. Xx
Hi Rebecca, ik vind je nieuwe release super mooi. Ik ga je patron kopen en breien. I love the things you do ❤️ tot ziens
Not gonna lie, I was not sold on the Tydes sweater when you showed it in previous episodes. It just seemed a bit too frilly (that's not the right word, but I can't think of the word for what I want) for my taste. But seeing it complete and being worn? I love it. 😅
Love to hear you yakking away 😊😂… you are very informative and droll 😂❤
Loving all the patterns as always. How exciting a wedding here in Australia! Which state are you going to? My daughter’s wedding was on Hamilton Island and my sons on Daydream Island, they were both fabulous❤. I hope it’s not too hot for you!
Tydes is so fun! I can imagine so many fun color combos 😊
Episode full of beautiful designs 🤩
Love your RHUE!
I'm also a combination knitter but I essentially load my stitches backwards, so no twisting.
Love u podcast. Somehow I feel both relax and inspired as well as if I has sat in coffeeshop having had 100 cup of espresso 😅 love u new pattern love how u models are all so wonderfully different not just size 0 and age 14. Love that one skipped color work all together which encourages those who wanna make u sweater but r a bit intimidated by colorwork. Nicely done!!!
Well that was nice sat down with a cup of tea and up you popped perfect timing Rebecca on both our parts lol
I must have heard the kettle boiling!
oh man the tydes as a cardigan??? i wanna make a rainbow one!!!
Aelin is my favorite from the Mass Universe too. 🙌🏻
The purple and red is so exciting, can't wait to see it
My plan is to spend the whole night working on it.
Congrats on your pattern release! you will get to wear your new beanie next week there's a cold front coming to Scotland!
Thank you! I'll be ready for the cold snap!
I'm casting on my first tolsta tee hopefully this weekend 🤗 and I'm excited for a camisole version! Also I'm fair skin with dark brown hair too and I love bright white, I think it's going to look great on you and maybe canary yellow would be a fun bright color to explore too.
Eee that's so exciting! I'm hoping it will look less bright-white once it's knit up
Rebecca I live in the deep south island of New Zealand, our roads aren't speedster roads so please plan ahead and take your time travelling over here.
I'd probably allow 4 weeks minimum, as there's a lot to see, it's a slower life over here.
We've got a little under 3 weeks (the joys of having a limit of holiday we can take at work), but as my partner's parents live in NZ, we're not treating it like a once-in-a-lifetime trip! There are definitely things we're saving for next time
oOOooOOH sorely tempted to apply for the test knit, but I have two sweaters on my needles right now, one of which is also a test knit... but I am curious, as someone who cant do alpaca or mohair, what non floofy wool would you make the Tydes out of? I'm super excited to try the Rhue pattern!
I bought some verrrry expensive possum/wool sock yarn at Ashford (famous for spinning wheels) near Ashburton on the North Island and knitted socks whilst touring in our camper. They were gorgeous and squishy at first but the possum eventually worked its way out into big brown pills and had to be picked off. It has a very short staple. Think twice about purchasing.
Hiya! Not sure if you’ll ever see this comment since this episode is older. However, wanted to tell you I’m taking a Craftsy class on combination knitting and there is instruction for ribbing in the round to avoid twisted rib. You have to make sure your purl stitches are still going into the back of the stitch which, with combo purling, means from behind the posterior leg. I left a comment earlier and then deleted it because I hadn’t finished the class, but I finished it today 😄
Can’t believe how much knitting you accomplish besides full e work! Oh youth.
You are such a clever person 😊
What are some yarn suggestions that would be held single for the Rhue sweater? Ones available in the US would be great. Also, for those of us who don’t put mohair with everything, can the Tides cardigan be made without the mohair using the other yarn only? Thank you.
Well…if you want to knit multiple versions you can always knit a size 5. And I will gladly wear it for you!!! 😊
Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me what white yarn you were showing. I am looking for white yarn.
It's cascade 220!
Becca I think you’d look fabulous in a rich turquoise blue. Half green half blue ish
I love all your projects. And by the way, Noah Kahan’s new song dropped last night. I love it!
I heard it live in November and it was amazing
@@the.creabea ohhh. You’re so lucky!
I really appreciate the Rhue sweater pattern that fits more closely through the yoke. All the oversized patterns have been off-limits to me because with a larger bust and a smaller body, they’re just not flattering. Look forward to this contiguous construction. Also for most people including me, V-necks are very flattering. Just saying. 😊
Is there a coupon code for your vest pattern?
No more coffee for you girlie… what are you at now? 500 words a minute?! 😂Sloooooow down so OUR brains can follow you! ❤
Also you can slow down the player, really helpful feature.
I really told myself I would slow down this episode and CLEARLY that didn't happen
@@the.creabea it’s all in good fun! 😄 You know we love listening to you! (I also happen to really live your accent!) congrats on the new pattern release - it’s stunning!!
Is it just me, or is KFO changing their color lineup? I went to look at the cotton merino yesterday on their website and there are only like 6 colors listed.
I saw them posting a lot of new mohair colours on their instagram over the past few months! I wouldn't be mad about some new cotton colours though, I love the base but the colours are meh.
What are your requirements for test knitter selection?
When a man walks past and you go pwoooorrrr 😂😂😂😂😂
That is exactly how it smells!
If you pinch your left earlobe and pull down on it until your hiccups go away, it will get rid of them quickly. 😀
I appreciate that at the beginning you said you recognize sometimes you talk too quickly and would make an effort to slow down. Unfortunately for most of the podcast, you spoke pretty fast and some of your words ran together. I just feel anxious when I’m trying to follow someone who’s talking so quickly. Something to just be mindful of, especially in the future if you plan to teach at fiber, festivals or events. It is really important to speak slowly and clearly so that everyone can stay on track.
Weirdly, I actually have a professional background in public speaking and I speak MUCH more slowly in person than on the podcast.
There's just something about talking to a camera that has me speeding up!
❤🌈
Etsy link for Rhu sweater doesn’t work
Seems to be working fine for me? Can copy and paste it into the url bar if it's not clicking through
Sorry I didn’t see this.. I managed it eventually 😊 many thanks.
Could you mention the weight of the finished sweater please?
The yarns of all the garments are listed in the description box! But I'll try to do it in future episodes.
@@the.creabea thanks a lot ! You are sweet !
That is so funny. At around 36 min. you explain that you don't follow the pattern for the hat because you are so lazy........ With your (self imposed) schedule you can call yourself all sorts of things. Lazy is NOT one of them. :)
Rebecca, I love your designs and the variety of your patterns. But, please, please, please, can you talk more slowly! I miss so much of what you are saying, and it is very frustrating.
I don’t know if this might help, but you can watch the video and slow down the speed…I have done this watching how to do certain knit tutorials and it was a game changer. I just tried to see if it worked well on this video and I think it does at .75 speed (which is 3/4 of the normal speed I believe)
Yes the speed adjustment is so helpful. I usually speed up podcasters as fast as I can handle, but not Rebecca! Lol
