Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects! - Навчання та стиль
Just want to take a moment of appreciation for the stop motion work you do in a lot of your videos. It's a lot of work, very well done and it always makes me smile! 😊👏
Also, moving is so stressful! Happy it all went well! ❤ The blouses/sweaters are beautiful on you and you look positively radiant! 😍
Marguerites is what a lot of countries call the humble daisy. So you weren't wrong calling it that. They both came out very cute, but the colour of the second is my favourite on you.
The pattern name is much fancier-sounding with "Marguerite" than Daisy in the title, isn't it?
My goodness, woman, HOW??? I'm so impressed you knit that entire adorable sweater while packing! I had to move just across town and could do nothing else for months.
The stop motion animation bit with the lace-like parts are so adorable! Your videos are always such a treat
I just want to take a moment to say how I always appreciate how you respect your partner's privacy! You've made reference to their office space at your old east coast place, we saw a hand petting Nutella, but other than that their presence is completely off-screen, and I really appreciate that!
Good luck with settling into your new place and your new life on a different coast!
My eternal crochet struggle is starting summer projects in the summer, and then finishing them in the fall, just as it gets too cold to wear them! And vice versa for cozy blankets and whatnot. One day I’ll figure it out, lmao
Both of your sweaters are lovely!
And welcome to California! The vintage community here is both huge and welcoming!
(I’m currently knitting a 1930s chevron pullover with typically dense instructions, including no schematics and no indication of what the gauge should be. 😜)
But all the liberal policies and laws have wrecked the whole state.
I’m also moving (not quite 3000 miles) and can concur having straight stockinette to relax with for an hour at the end of the day is a relief
Love your dog beautiful soul you can see how happy the dog is with you both love all what you knit fab. love the video
I love the knitting journal idea! Such a great way to memorialize your projects and what was happening while you were making them!
That first jumper is ADORABLE! I think I’ll be knitting that one up in the near future. Thank you for the inspiration!
Omg I missed your knitting videos!!
such beautiful buttons! I have a Bolero that i made that just needed one button and it was a glass button i dug up while gardening many years ago 🤣
Both sweaters are beautiful and look fabulous on you! I love the pleated shoulders on the daisy sweater.
How I wish I could knit in the car but I get really bad travel sickness 😅Glad your move went smoothly and how nice to have those memories attached to the different tops!
The 2 knits turned out beautifully! Thanks for taking the time to make this video, although all the moving stress 💜
there's a lot to love about this video but watching the button choices was my favorite!
Welcome to California! Yes, moving is so hecking stressful, good to have some stress knitting on hand. How did Nutella get to Utah? Both sweaters look so cute!
Welcome to California! If you're actually going to be in the bay area, you should check out A Verb for Keeping Warm, an Oakland yarn shop that specializes in naturally dyed textiles, and Stonemountain and Daughter, which is my favorite fabric store for garment sewing. I hope you like it here!
Lovely. I adore the lacey "undershirt." And the daisy design is the sweetest. 🌼
Both have a fabulous fit, very authentic looking.
Thank you for facilitating a new found appreciation for vintage knit patterns. I’ve always loved vintage garments, but have never considered that could knit them.💗💗
I love both sweaters! Can't believe you were living 2.5 hours from me. I always thought you lived in the Midwest. Driving cross country must be exhausting but no better way to see the USA!
My favorite was the daisy sweater. You do beautiful work! 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼👍😄
The move was so exciting! Loved seeing the progress. Also, I really love the journal idea - I might do that!
thank you for those bits of explanation regarding your chosen yarns! I live in a tropical country so we have mostly warm weather year-round. I've been wanting to try vintage knitting but choosing the yarn has been one of my problems. I'll definitely try local bamboo cotton mixes. congrats on the move! the sweaters were beautifully made 😊
I love the first one, all the style of layers but in only one layer! And it looks adorable on you too
The daisy design is super cute! I hope you get a nice cozy knitting room/space in your new place ;)
Congratulations on moving and for completing two sweaters WHILE moving! The final pieces are so pretty. Your journal segment reminded me that my family used to have that same shuttle spindle pen -- I wonder where it is nowadays :~)
They are both so adorable and they look amazing on you. I love the journal idea. That is so good to see all that you make.
These garments fit you so perfetly! I wish I knew how to resize them this well. Amazing!
Wow!! Both of these sweaters are gorgeous! I hope that you settle into your new place quickly!
Love the 40s jumpers. Would love to see you knit more. 😍
Beautifully done. Bravo on the move and being so productive during it.
Linen yarn is a pain in the but to knit with 🤦🏻♀️🤣 Come to think of it, moving has to be one of the most stressful tasks, along with working with linen, cotton or any other plant based yarns! Wow, you reminded me that I have a bottle of vintage buttons my great grandmother passed to my grandmother then mother then me😊
That daisy sweater is amazing! Great job!
Aww I moved from San Francisco earlier this year. I miss it so much. You HAVE to check out The Royal Bee yarn shop in Pacifica!
Now the big question because I'm not caught up, where did your doggie go? Did you fly them out to Utah? And also, that Marguerite sweater is gorgeous!
Congrats on the move! I hope you enjoy exploring around your new home. There are several lovely yarn shops in that area and lots of good hiking trails
Love the puffy sleeves of the Daisy Sweater
Both have come out so well!! Glad the move went to plan too!
thanks for your lovely videos they have been great knitting companions. I finally after months of watching finally got continental knitting, it just clicked, thank you for all your very in depth explainations.
I love the pinny jumper and wish the pattern was in my size!
The colours of the Marguerite jumper are so lovely.
It's interesting to see the patterns knitted in non-wool yarn, both look great. Nutella looked so happy in the truck with you. I'm knitting little white socks in mostly stocking stich, and yes I agree that it's relaxing to knit and not think too much.
Welcome to the west coast! Those are both beautiful Sweaters! I love how you did the project Scrapbook at the end.
Love these two sweaters!!!! What a great job on both!
Your craft is extraordinary!!!
The fact that you can knit and not need to look at your work is amazing to me!
I just want to learn how to knit socks!
BTW, I currently live in Maine, though I am originally from California. I’ve lived in Maine for 17 years now.
My favorite place to vacation in California is Fort Bragg and Mendocino. Hope you get the opportunity to explore the northern pacific coastline.
Both sweaters are just so darling!
Marguerite is a kind of daisy. very large, handsome plant it would be a perennial where you live. You are such a speedy knitter and magnificent work.
Oh that fake vest is a dream. I love the lace.
Both are amazing, I love vintage knits. The Marguerite sweater is called that because that's what the flower is. It's a large 3-4 inch daisy type flower.
Both are awesome. I gotta get over my intimidation of these tops.
Thank you for such a wonderful episode! It was so much fun watching you complete these come together. I just started vintage knitting and this is very inspirational ☺️
*watching these come together and them come together
WOW! They are both beautiful! Great job!
I'm a new subscriber and you've inspired me to try knitting a vintage sweater. I love your two knits!
Nice trip video, the sweaters turned out lovely. Northern Calif isn't as cold as the east coast, but I must say, with the moisture in the air it can get you cold to the bone. It is a lovely state, I hope you enjoy yourselves.
The Marguerite one suddenly looks so contemporary!
Congratulation for your passion,it is amazing what you have done!
I am OBSESSED with the first one!
I love both of these! So beautiful.
Extra hugs for Nutella! 🙏💖🐕 Both sweaters came out looking very sweet! Love the colours 😍 and the styling of your hair! 💗
I want to add that I really love the details on the "Daisy" sweater. Maybe I should make one if I can adapt it to plus size.
Thank you for your most enjoyable glimpses of your life. It is so good to look forward to a video with you being so authentic and creative as yourself. I pray that you will be very happy in your new home ❤
As always, look and fit perfect!
Beautiful.
You are a star!
They're very very cute and they suit you so well! ❤
Vintage sweaters are something I would like to do, but alas, I'm on the fluffy side. Both of your sweaters are stunning. Congrats on your successful move.
Thanks!
Fabulous, classy, so tiny your stitches!
Definitely something for me to strive for!🧶👍🏻
Beautiful job! Reminds me of our family's cross-country trip from NY to WA. Along the way, I knit a circular afghan. It was finished at the new place and was a great memorial of our trip.
Very special. Congrats!
Both of the sweaters turned out super - also I love the idea of the knitting journal. Thank you for the inspiration!
Okay that stop motion segment was so stinking cute ❤
Beautiful sweaters. Now you're making me want to knit a vintage sweater, but I find the directions can be challenging. Good job!
When I first glanced at the thumbnail I didn't even realize that it was you on the left. You look so perfectly vintage in that sweater!
These were incredibly lovely projects! Fun fact: marguerite is just French for daisy.
I also moved across the country this summer--and I knit NOTHING!!! Amazing job! They are so cute on you!
I’m from Michigan/ we wore wide long scarves..,
Now living in So Cal / 1 hour north of LA.,
Know knit “skinny scarves” long cotton 2x2 13 inches wide/ long loop... great for chilly eves and mornings...🧶👍🏻
Also enjoy alpaca. And washable wool
They turned out so lovely!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Both of them 😍
Nutella is so loving. Lovely sweaters. Welcome to California
They turned out so lovely! Thanks for sharing
I adore both sweaters so much! 😍

Beautiful! Both outfits are so cute! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Two beautiful pieces. Bravo darlin
Beautiful sweaters! You did a wonderful job on both. Welcome to California! I’ve lived here all my life and I hope you’ll be as happy here as I have.
They look awesome
It’s always a pleasure to watch what you do, thanks for sharing with us!
Absolutely stunning sweaters.
They are fab! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Beautiful! And welcome to the Bay Area!
Congrats on the new chapter of life
They are both adorable! I have always loved daisies so I'm especially drawn to the Marguerite one!
I’m supposed to be packing up to move this weekend and knew I was working today (Saturday) and now working part of Sunday. And I’m supposed to have the house packed by this upcoming Friday. But all I want to do is finish my Crescendo sweater. And ignore that only half of my house is packed. 😭😭
But you’re a braver lady than me! No way would I even attempt color work in a moving truck!! Both sweaters came out beautiful!! If you ever write a pattern update for it in the round that go up into plus sized let me know ASAP!! ❤️❤️
Magnifique ❤
Beautiful sweaters. Congratulations
