Notes from a Knitter | The Ranunculus

- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- A behind the scenes look on my most knitted pattern, The Ranunculus. I share all my thoughts and learning lessons on this great pattern. Officially working on my 3rd! Great notes and thoughts for a beginner knitter looking to make the jump in to sweater making.
Ranunculus Pattern: www.ravelry.co...
Knitting actually Balances the Right & Left Hemispheres of the Brain, so it Really Really Helps with Anxiety, and Grounding! 🙏🏻🥰💋💋💋
I love this little fact. Thanks for sharing! It really does help!
Thanks so much for this because I have been intimidated by this sweater !
This popped up in my feed and I’m so glad I clicked play! I’m an experienced crocheter with plans to learn knitting this fall. Thank you for the encouragement to try Ranunculus. It’s now on my knitting bucket list and I’m off to check out your UA-cam channel!
Fun fact, I taught myself how to crochet before I started knitting. Crochet taught me how to knit continental style :). You can defiantly do it!
I just found your podcast and am so pleased I did! I have always resisted the Ranunculus (just because it is so popular) until I saw one knitted up in a particular yarn. I bought the yarn but have still been hesitant to start. I have been knitting longer than you have lived but have never made a top down garment. The way you described how you approached this knit as a new knitter was inspiring so I guess I just have to bite the bullet and try. I am still a bit concerned about fit - the body not too big (mutton dressed up as lamb) and more room in the sleeves - but guess they are hurdles to jump after I get started. Thanks again, I’ll certainly be checking out your past podcasts.
So glad this channel popped up it was lovely to watch. I’ve been thinking about knitting the ranunculus for last few days …spooky lol. I have had the pattern for a long time, just need to choose the yarn.
Looking forward to future podcasts from you and I love your studio. X
Go for it! And thanks so much for being here!
Aw I’m glad I found you! I have yet to knit the ranunculus because I’ve felt intimidated. I even have the yarn! You have inspired me to try again. 😊
You can do it! I'm always here if you need help (or need to vent haha). Trust me I will understand.
I'm working on my first ranunculus, and I love it. You can do this!!
@@sevynofnine Aw thanks! I love the fiber community!
Hello there-U’VE GOT THIS! 🧶 I’ve knitted 2 already; once you cast on and start the lace design, you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is. Keep us posted 😀
I really enjoyed hearing about your experiences of knitting this sweater. I've got the pattern but haven't started one yet.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for this awesome video! I am going to knit my first Ranunculus!!!!!
That's so wonderful! Have so much fun!
Thank you for sharing and good luck with future videos
Enjoyed this podcast. I have yet to knit this sweater but, will be casting it on real soon. Love all your version if it.
Thanks so much!
So happy to find you. I have made 5 for me and one for my girlfriend. I have the yarn ready for my 7th. For me, of course!!😂 I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome! and wow! 7!? I am going to catch up to you one day :)
Your workspace looks amazing. Would you do an episode and share what it looks like?
Why thank you so much!! That is so nice to hear. It took a lot of work/trial and error to get it where it is today. I would love to show you around. I'll be sure to do that next episode!
I would love to try this pattern, so lovely. Enjoyed your podcast and would love to see the finished project on you or hanging. Was it a ribbing at the end?
Congratulations on your beautiful studio space and will continue to watch.
Thank you so much! I will be sure to take more pictures and share them when I finish my other ranunculus :). There was a bit of Fishermans rib at the end,
I really enjoyed your video. Can you please share with us what brand/weight (yellow) yarn you are using for your beautiful sweater? This was the first video I have seen of your channel. I would love to see the area that you and your husband have built for your knitting. I think that would be an awesome video. Thank you for such a lovely video.
I most certainly can. I am using Coates and Co's prairie sock base in electric yellow. It looks like she is sold out but she does have regular updates: coatesandcofiber.com/products/color-no-021-electric-yellow?variant=42512574808262 Also, I just made a new video because of your request to see the space :). Thanks for inspiring me!
Would love to knit the Ranunculus but I want to use a 3ply wool yarn without mohair. But dont know how to modify the pattern. By modifying the pattern/needle gauge wont help my 3ply wool.
This is a good question, but I am going to give you a risky answer. I would suggest going up a needle size or two but definite swatch. I always think having a slightly bigger gauge is better than a sweater that is too tight, but I do love a baggy sweater. I don't have experience in modifying patterns just yet so I just modify my needle sizes to make it easy on my brain that doesn't like math. Once I figure out how to modify patterns, I will definitely share what I learn. Thanks for watching!
Loved this episode!!! I have had this pattern in my stash for so long but I am so intimidated in starting it because I simply cannot understand on how to modify it for different yarns and to make it fit the way I want it to fit. It's one size so, for example when it says to CO 60 stitches for the neck (with worsted weight yarn) and I'm using either a Fingering or DK then I don't know how to modify the # of stitches and then forget even thinking on how to modify the front and back short rows...ugh!!! This is keeping me stuck so I have not even started to attempt it.
Oh see I got stuck on this too when I first started to choose yarn for it, but I would say, for me, this pattern is one where I try not to figure it out. I let the pattern and the yarn (and the ONE NEEDLE SIZE) run with the design and I take a back seat. I may not look it but I am size large or extra large due to my bust size so I really don't want to mess up my measurements. It's a frightening process at first but then after blocking, I always find the sweater just does its thing and ends up being flattering. It's like a little gift from the yarn itself and such a wild experience. Hope you give it a try!
I’m wondering the same thing. Made one with fingering weight and it has just enough ease, but if I try worsted, how big is it going to end up? Guess I’ll just try it and see! 🙂
The idea is to knit any yarn - fingering to worsted - on the one size of needle. It you think about it, the needle size just sets the length of yarn that each stitch takes up. In other patterns, we adjust the needle size to control the density / opacity of the fabric. A 4" swatch of DK on size 10/6mm needles will take up a tiny bit less yarn than the 4" swatch on 10s in worsted. BUT the DK swatch will be looser and more see-through than the same-size swatch done with the bigger strand of worsted.
The designer, Midori has tutorial videos if that helps anyone. I loved this podcast!
I have knit three ranunculus. Rowan felted tweed, Katia lux air, quince and co. Kestral. The last one was a fail. Way too large. It just grew and grew. I plan to do Ilha. It is similar to ranunculus but with a different lace yoke.
Ohhh I am going to look that one up! Thanks for sharing!
I love your studio and love listening to your Rununculus story. I really want to knit one and have never done , everyone says it’s fun 19,000 thousand people 😱) but you are the one that really inspired me. Thank you ❤
Amazing news and the pleasure is all mine! So glad I convinced you. :)
Hi Ian annette from Australia love your podcast can you tell me I could get pattern for the renucular pattern and the merino wool thanks
Next Project: Malabrigo Baby Silkpaca Ranunculus!!!!’ ☝🏻🫶🏻🥰🤣🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Now that sounds like a lovely choice!
@@thepoppylibrary if only there werent so many color choices! 🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣 That IS ACTUALLY the Fun of Creating isnt it? 🤩🫶🏻
Great video! I have been eyeing the Ranunculous pattern for quite a while, and I hope your viewpoints on it push me over the edge to knit my first one.
I hope so too!
I Haven't Had Enough Of The Ranunculus Stories. Everyone Has Done Something Different With Theirs.
So Many Versions, And Yes The Techniques Are Incredible!
Another Designer Who Does The Mind Tricks Is Joji Locatelli 🤣
I Live In Maine. We Used To Get Very Cold Temps But It Actually Doesn't Get That Cold Consistently Until January Or February. We Get Our First Cold Day Around November, Then A Bunch Of Warmish Rain. So Much For My Parka. 😅
I am so excited to experience a Maine summer day. Can't wait!
Sorry, but I cannot see anything, but a bunch of tiny sweaters behind you, this is just awesome and cute😍😍😍
Hahaha! They are distracting, but in the most delightful way!
What pattern do you use for the mini sweaters? I’m in north TX.
Hi ! Would you tell the length cord of needles you used ? Thank you 🙏🌞🌎
You’re so lovely 😊 loved this content. You’re very upbeat , and fun to listen to. I would love to knit this sweater, but haven’t braved it , yet. So always looking for inspiration.
Oh thank you!
Did you do the beautiful orange ranunculus with the bigger neck or the same?
You have inspired me to try the Ranunculus. I have knit tons of shawls and small items, but never a garment and this pattern has been calling me. Now I have to at least try! Thx for your enthusiasm and inspiration!
You are a delight to listen to . Love your thoughts
I'm knitting my first Ranunculus while watching this video, so I appreciate how timely this video was.
Ah kismet! So glad to hear!
Great episode. I’ve had the Ranunculus pattern for a few years and have seen so many people knit it. I was a bit put off by the lack of clear sizing. People seem to use whatever yarn they want and they just get whatever size they get. I did get the additional extended sizes part of the pattern, but it still wasn’t that clear to me how and when to reference it. I’m an experienced knitter, but I like a clear pattern! Anyway, I will try it again, because I love the look of this sweater and I have a feeling that if I just get started, I’ll get it.
I'm relieved to read your comments. I, too am wondering about the sizing, with so many options of yarn weights! I'm also an experienced knitter and I'm probably overthinking this 😅
I hear ya! I am a very short petite person so I can understand your frustration on patterns not being clear on sizing. Let me know how yours goes!
Interesting you say that. I knit this as one of my first sweaters so I didn't even think twice about checking for clear sizing. haha.
You are just the cutest podcaster and so darn fun to listen to! I am working on my first one and hope it works out! I am using size 9 needles/ size 1 and 100 percent cotton yarn ( I Love This Cotton) and love the softness and overall feeling of the yarn. I know cotton expands, so I hope it won’t be too oversize as I am trying for less ease. Once again, I really enjoyed this podcast and have listened to it twice. Keep up the good work and don’t change your style!!
Oh thank you! Keep in touch with what you are knitting. I always love to hear updates on projects!
I made a linen one, a lux cotton wool blend and a cashmere one I get what you are saying.
Hi fellow Texan! I’m in Dallas area. I have knitted for decades, since I was 8, but never a sweater. There are no yarn stores within 30 miles for questions. This is the pattern I’ve been eyeing . Do you feel I can get the support I need from UA-cam? I’m concerned about the process.
Oh yes, you most certainly can. Videos on UA-cam definitely gave me the confidence to work this pattern. Also the pattern does come with UA-cam tutorials from the designer when you purchase.
The stained glass piece sounds fab! And the yellow Ranunculus will be lovely on you 😊
Aw thank you so much!
I wondered what the yellow yarn is. Great color!
Thanks for this. I have seen This pattern and am interested. However, I am not a knitter of those fibers. Can I use Acrylic? Don’t judge please
Absolutely zero judgement here. You can 100% use acrylic yarn for any project.
I've been thinking about this pattern for quite some time. I think watching this video was my last push. Thank you so much because i can foresee no regrets. I love this podcast, keep at it. How amazing that you wrapped up with "don't you just love knitting". I say that to myself everyday 💙
You are so welcome! I hope you love the process just as much as I did/do!
What size of needles have you been using? I made my first one with worsted and size 4mm needles…inspired by We Grow Wild and someone else. But I ended up increasing a lot at the base of the yoke and switching to another pattern below the yoke. Not finished but I have tried it on several times and it seems to have worked out! A Friend to Knit With found the sleeves too narrow near the top so that’s why I switched.
I have been using a size 7 needle. I gotta go check out those knitting podcasts!
Good Morning from Calgary where I am up early and knitting! I enjoyed your vlog very much and I think I’m now ready to knit the ranuculus! LOL! I have some beautiful fingering alpaca and cotton and I will hold a strand of mohair with it. Your vlog helped me decide! But first I’ve got to finish the two sweaters already on my needles, both of which are for the autumn here in Calgary. Our proximity to the mountains means cooler days are not too far away. 💁♀️
I am so jealous of your weather update haha. I know you must have hard winters too so sweaters are a must! So glad to hear you are ready to take the plunge in to this pattern. Keep me posted on how it goes! Thanks for tuning in!
Loved your podcast, and loved to hear about your knitting journey through the ranunculus. Thanks and will be waiting for your next one 😊
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I just bought this pattern because of another bloggers description of versatility. Loved listening to your blog ( I am a subscriber now ❤) and as soon as my current project is done, I’m onto the ranunculus!! And I love the fact that you shared your pottery for holding your yarn. I do the same thing!😃
So wonderful to hear this! Good luck on your ranunculus and don't forget to tell me how it goes. I am always interested to hear how it went!
I have been knitting since I was 12 so a good 40 years and I'm only now getting the ranunculus started. 😅
haha! Its never to late to get started on one :)
I really enjoyed your video about the ranunculus xx I have a question about the needle size did you use the same needles for all the different yarns ? X
Thank you! Yes I did use the same needles for all the different yarns
Im about to begin with a linen flax blend
I think you are talking about my mom!! I sent you a DM via instagram with a picture.
I am so happy that I met her!!! She is so amazing! I can't wait to tell everyone about it!
Also I love how you talked about going with your heart and following intuition. There is this color thing I have in my mind, it exists in the sort of metaphysical creative space of my soul lol but I have been kinda mini f it out, slowly, as I knit each piece, exploring different fibers and dye processes that get me closer to that color flow that in me trying to get out! Lol so thanks for giving me a place to talk about that. So glad I found your channel! ❤
This will always be a place where you can just be and go with the flow :). Thanks again for being here.
I love knitting like you love knitting. I feel the same way. I love the ranunculus and could also talk about it for at least a full hour. I love to see other people's and find out what they made theirs with and why they did one thing vs. Another. It's fascinating. I have a black short sleeve but I have yarn for 2 more. I have malabrigo Susurro which is a silk linen wool and I have 2 skeins of plum purple I bought at Hobby Lobby 2 years ago that are hand dyed and I just got some mohair to make myself a long sleeve winter version. I love that bright yellow with the contrast of your hair color. It's gonna be awesome. Hang on...the heat will be over...soon? Or at least the unbearable part. Cannot wait to see the stained glass! Knitting art is a thing. A thing I would buy. Bye
Thank you for the kind words! I love hearing about your ranunculus journey. The heat will unfortunately last for quite sometime. We start getting "cool" days in late October/mid November. Fingers crossed we break this 100 degree heat cycle soon.
I loved your video! I also live very near you...and I too wish we could wear more wool! People always advise me to use wool to knit summer t's, telling me it's not hot. I don't think they easily understand our weather here!
I'm so happy I ran across this! I really enjoyed this episode, with the behind the scene's look at that Ranunculus sweater - as I've been considering this for my next knit! I think it's a GREAT IDEA to bring in these tips and tricks, and yarn discussions about any pattern you knit!
Kudo's to you! Maybe we'll run into each other at LYS! You just never know! :)
Aw thanks so much Debbie! No one really knows what the heat is like until they move here...and go outside from 1pm-5pm. I am so over it! Looking forward to our "cold front" next week haha!
Yes, most people cannot even imagine 108 degrees! Each year we keep making new records with our Heat! No one in TX can deny Climate Change effects! At least we have GREAT Podcasts while being locked inside in the AC! :)
@@thepoppylibrary
What a great knitting channel! For the first time, I'm considering knitting a sweater again after decades,
You can do it!
Hi put the mohair in a bag then put it in your fridge for a couple of hours makes it easier to knit .😀
Thanks for the tip!
I want to knit my first Ranunculus but confused about sizing
I can see that. I see some others in the comments have had some trouble with sizing as well. I would check some other videos on how to modify the ranunculus. Or event check out some others project pages on Ravelry for notes on how they knit the sweater.
I have to tell you how charming and funny I find you. I love watching your videos!🌺
Thank you so much, that's so nice of you to say! So glad you are here!
I have certainly had my money’s worth from this pattern, I have made 6 so far 😂❤x
6!?! WOWOW! I have a feeling I will catch up to you one day at this rate. :)
Wow. What yarn do you think would be the best to start the first one with. I want to make one but have never knitted a sweater.
Love the little sweaters on the cork board I love the space you have created. The beginning of the ranunculus has always scared me but you have inspired me to give in a try
Thank you so much! You can do it!
The universe (or is it UA-cam algorithms) is telling me I really need to knit this pattern. 😂
I'll Be Another One... It's Actually An Amazing Sweater, I Knit A Dk Weight Very Airy. I Knit My First In A Cashmere Blend... And Another Podcast Inspired Me. My Next Ranunculus Is Going To Be The Daintier Version, Then I'm Doing A Bulky. 😂
Love this!
Silly question, did you find gauge with all three?
Not a silly question at all. I honestly never checked. The fit always comes out so different. I know it's risky.
Thank you so much for your thoughts on the Ranunculus. You inspire me. I would love to see photos of you in each sweater. I couldn't really tell if you made them long or short sleeved,
Great idea!! Mine are all long sleeved sweaters. I'll share some more once I'm done with this next one.
I watched Selma from Little Big Knits talk about her several Ranunculus sweaters. She didn’t do the fussy cast on, just started with the number of stitches that are supposed to be on the neck. Worked for me. I have made three of these sweaters and plan to make a few more
Love this option!
I, need to find the pattern?
I'm knitting my 3rd Ranunculus right now. Using Shawl In A Ball Mindful Mauve and it is gonna be stunning! Loved this episode!
Thanks so much! Ah a mauve ranunculus sounds stunning.
Do you have pictures of you wearing these?
I am sure I do somewhere haha. I am kind of bad at organizing my photos.
Omg! Dooood! You are so frickin adorable!!! I did that with the Alpenglow with Natural Angora, and I had NO IDEA! Until I was Finished! 🤪🤪🤪
Love your video
Adding your yarn info for each sweater would be so helpful. Thanks for the inspiration!
Working on my 4th Ranunculus 🤣
Amazing!
I have been knitting 5 years, I have the yarn, pattern purchased , and I have tried to start it several times. The cast on has me stumped. Great episode
Thanks so much for watching. The cast on truly is that one thing that took me forever to figure out, but you do it once and then you have it down forever.
I have knit this pattern several times and not used the recommended cast on. I have used the German twisted cast on and I have also used a long tail cast on where I focused on my tension. 19:06 19:06 19:06 Both have turned out just fine. Go for it.
Hi from California! I’ve knit 4 and now I have to knit another because I LOVE 💕 the yellow color you are knitting! It’s a wow! Blessings
I’ve been thinking of casting on another ranunculus and this seals the deal! Thanks for the inspo
I love your channel! Can't wait to see what you make next :)
Thank you so much! Much more to come!
Omgosh, perfect term ... KNITTERS HIGH - love it! I feel and felt the same about the ranunculus. Oh my that yellow one is going to be so lovely!! I've made two, one in worsted and one in a cotton blend with a bit of haze, and I just received my order for yarn to make a cotton one. Lol, also - I'll be making my daughter-in-law one for xmas this year. First time watching your videos, thanks for sharing - Sunshine
Thanks for watching. A cotton ranunculus sounds divine!
I am so glad I saw you on ytube, always wanted to knit this as I am a beginner knitter thank you
Wow, I'm very happy I found your channel. Great tips. And I feel like I really need a ranunculus sweater in my life.😊❤
Aw thanks so much!
I’m doing the ranunculus right now in a pretty pink linen cotton for summer. The great thing about it is you don’t have to do a swatch cause you don’t have to pick your size until you finish with the yoke and I just check my gauge at that point. Gauge too small? Knit a bigger size! Gauge to big? Knit a smaller size! I knew my gauge was gonna be on the “too many stitches per inch” side so I opted for the wider neckline to insure I could get it over my head. 😂 so far the rest is great!
Enjoyed your video and feeling like I’m finally in the Ranunculus Club 😊
I love love love hearing your process and I couldn't agree more. Its just one of those knits!
Hi Liz, I love your podcasts!!! You are infectious and inspirational-thank you for sharing and I look forward to trying (finally!) the Ranunculus. I’m just a beg knitter, havent knitted any sweaters yet, just socks and hats. I feel intimidated but am so glad to watch your journey!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! If you ever need any help or encouragement don't hesitate to reach out! YOU CAN DO IT!
So happy to have found your podcast! Bought the Ranuculus pattern years ago, joined 2 KALs to knit it, still haven't even cast on. I have gorgeous grey Alpaca/silk yarn very similar to the Alpaca Ranunculus you knit. This has inspired me to finally cast on, thank you!
You are so welcome! Sounds like a lovely yarn
Good Job! what a very enticing and convincing podcast to get us to knit a Ranunculus. You are well informed of All its Tricks by not we see. I have 2 favours to ask you, first its would be very advantage us if you would Insert the Name of your podcast Themen in the title, like getting familiar with Ranunculus, and second describe us about good needles you use. Thnx so much 😊 ❤
These are such wonderful suggestions! Thank you for watching! I will be sure to apply them in my future videos. I appreciate the feedback.
Hello there-I came across your video when I keyed in Rhinebeck. I have knitted 2 Ranunculus 4 Rhinebeck; 1 for the Gala Event and the other Ranunculus I will C how the days R. I thought it would B difficult 2 knit the Ranunculus, but it was surprisingly easy. Gr8 podcast. C U @ Rhinebeck! 🧶😆🧶
Thanks so much! I hope to see you there!
Love your podcast. I feel a connection for several reasons. I live in west central Texas. The heat right now is relentless. We hit 115 and 114 a few weeks ago. I really want to knit a Ranunculus but have been a little intimidated. I take glass bead classes in Hyde park at Blue moon Glassworks in Austin. The owners are wonderful people. Thanks for your inspiration!😊
Oh you are in my thoughts with those kinds of temperatures. Phew!!! Blue Moon Glassworks is one of my most favorite places. I bought all of my supplies there when I started. The owners are indeed wonderful! Thanks for stopping by!
so....here for the knitting, but, the Frida pot stopped me in my tracks! It is so cute-gotta get one for my BF. Love your ranunculus!
THANK YOU!!!
I purchased the Ranunculus pattern read the first page, put the yarn away and the pattern away also. Maybe in 10 years I will try to knit it …. It was an overwhelming pattern for me.
I can see that!
😮thank you so much for your wonderful informative video. I have been wanting to make the ranunculus. What yarn would you suggest. I have never knitted a sweater.
The best choice is the yarn that makes you the most excited and inspired. It will help you get through the long hauls (the body and the sleeves). I am exploring which yarn is my favorite at the moment.
Nice to hear your Ranunculus info, I wamt to do 1 in mohair with skinny alpaca, do you think that should work ? Also, does it suit all ages ? My daughter is 25 and it might be too boring ??? 😮
I definitely think it is a pattern that everyone can wear. I also think that yarn choice is perfect. It should give you a nice flowy garment.
I’ve been considering buying this pattern. You talked me into it. New subscriber here. I really enjoyed this informative video. I just wish you would have held each sweater up further back from the camera so to see the entire sweater at once. They are so pretty. Thanks for the video. 🧶
Thanks for the tip. I will definitely show more of the sweater since it is such a nice airy fit at the bottom! Good point!
Would love to know what mohair you used for your orange ranunculus. I love shibui mohair but they are discontinuing it and I am looking for a new mohair equally sumptuous.
That is a great question. I used Earl Grey Fibers and sadly I don't see them active anymore (trust me, I am really depressed about this). But I would say, La Bien Aimee's mohair line compares quite nicely.
The yellow looks fabulous with your skin tone & hair color. I recently bought the pattern and I’m trying to decide on yar. I’m with you. Wool yarn is very nice to work with.
Thank you so much! How is your yarn choice going?
I'm knitting my first ranunculus, started yesterday. I'm using Madeline Tosh Vintage 100% merino and its so lovely and bouncy. Its making beautiful stitch definition. Great podcast, thank you.
Oh now that is a great yarn choice!
As always, FABULOUS VIDEO!! I too have yet to knit the ranunculus....BUT did purchase the pattern long ago...This video makes me want to try it now more than ever! GREAT COLORs used in yours 🧡💛🧡
You can do it! Keep in touch! I would love to know how it goes for you.
So glad I found your channel ! I enjoyed it very much. I've been wanting to knit a ranunculus for a while now and think this would be a good time to jump in the give it a try. Your sweaters are very beautiful, I'm off to buy the ranunculus pattern. Wish me luck. Oh, I haven't made a sweater in over 20 yrs, I started quilting and set my needles aside. This looks like a good project to ease back into knitting.
Good luck and welcome back to knitting. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions along the way! I will always do my best to help!
Lovely video. I’ve actually never had an interest in the ranunculus… until I watched this! I think I might be a convert 😊
Go for it!
So happy I found your channel! I do love the Ranunculus!! I made my first one with cotton and love it! I have 2 more that I definitely want to make…one in mustard/chartreuse color and another in black.
Oooo a mustard color!? You are speaking my yarn language :)
Loved to hear your thoughts and processes. Great info. I’ve had to redo several sweaters due to not helical knitting. Apparently I haven’t learned yet since I had to rip out a couple of inches on my current Ranunculus 😅. I too live in the Austin area.
Hello fellow Austinite! Thanks for tuning in! Helical knitting is something I have not tried before. I might have to with the socks I want to knit for the winter this year.
Thankyou. I've seen this pattern and thought it may be too difficult for me, but this has inspired me to give it a go. I think I could do this! 🇬🇧
You can do it!
What a lovely and charming podcast. Thank you for sharing your different versions and your enthusiasm for this pattern.
Thank you so much!
Yes, the heat is ridiculous. I'm not that far from you, and it's been a hundred and five or more every day this week!
I hate it!!! We will get through this together haha.
Love that orange! I currently have two Ranunculus WIPs- I need to just finish one already.
thank you! You got this!
Fun! Thank you… going to buy the pattern now. I’ve heard too much about it not to finally jump! 🤣🤣🤣
Hope you like it!
Check to make sure you have the same dye lot. I learned that a while ago, but never needed to worry about. I guess swapping around skeins of yarn works too.
Oh yes! That first ranunculus definitely had yarn with two different dye lots. Now its engraned in my brain!
I so enjoyed listening to you and your enthusiasm about a great pattern. I have been knitting for over 40 years but absolutely love this amazing jumper and have just cast on my 4th ! They all look and feel so different 👏🧶
Wonderful! I couldn't agree more!
I love knitting! I love yellow! And I loved this video and will definitely be a subscriber.
Yay! Thank you!
