    As a process knitter that assumes Ill have years to finish projects, meteor strikes are my nightmare. Lmao.

    that’s a hilarious PSA - tipsy triangles. :) Also, I’m on the last few rows of the last sleeve of my Cumulus T which I am knitting in a fingerling linen (!!). I’ve never knit anything at this gauge, let alone in linen. So I have to thank you for wearing this T, because I know I’m going to love love love this when it’s done. And I’m actually on the Catedral KAL and it’s going so slowly (although SUPER fast compared to the Cumulus) that I would not let myself join this new KAL :)

    Never stop listening to the chaos, Jenny! 🦄
    I just knit a Secret Crop. I did a folded hem too and a folded front neck edge but 1x1 rib at the top of the back. I left the back stitches live while I knit the straps so that I could do a three needle bind off to join the straps to the back. I couldn’t quite work out how to do this in combination with a folded edge all the way round the back. I also did a doubleknit armhole and strap instead of ribbing. It worked out pretty nice. My straps are just a little bit too long and my fabric a little bit too firm (linen merino blend) but it’s a nice top and I’m proud of my mods. I hope it softens up with washing. I also did a split hem but I think yours looks better so would leave out the split if I did it again. Will put a photo on Instagram and tag you if I get chance x

    So many knitting vlogs are about cottage-core gardening... but not this one! This one rocks! I enjoy your content, I enjoy your snark, I like that some of your knits are ambitious. Don't change this format.
    Also, the interview episode was cool. Cheers!

    I hope you enjoy your first KAL! I love the pattern for it, and I'm excited to hear your thoughts on the construction. And I cracked up at your tipsy triangles. I "calculated" and knitted some short rows for a t-shirt I'm making a few nights ago after a couple margaritas and realized the next morning that I'd done them upside down lmao. I remember being soooo confident.
    Thanks for another great episode! Your Culumus tee looks great btw, the perfect casual chic summer top.

  • @valeriebellecats8939
    @valeriebellecats8939 Рік тому

    To keep the tee on your shoulders perhaps you could sew little tabs on the inside of your shoulder that holds around a bra strap of the cumulus tee?
    I like your relaxed approach to knitting without stressing the smaller details or making corrections adjustments. I tend to want to frog and restart which isn't really always necessary, I'll try to emulate the low stress approach you have 😊 thanks for your videos.

    @irisfkim Рік тому

    You look so great in this episode!!! I feel like those pearl earrings go with that Cumulus top so perfectly. I definitely am convinced to join this KAL. Also, I have never heard anything more relatable than that bit about making everybody order first and then blurting out the first thing at a restaurant... this is also my method for picking ice cream flavors instead of trying samples. Just order the first one that comes to mind. No samples. Simply forge ahead. Wait. Maybe this also aligns with the fact that I don't gauge swatch much of the time...

    Drunk knitting is a mistake I've made many times before and that I will keep making, tension be dammed 😂
    I've been meaning to do the summer secret crop, but I think I like your folded edge more than the ribbing, so I'll probably steal that!
    Also your hair looks really pretty!

    I'm working on a little sleeve shrug thing, because it's wedding season over here too and I want to keep my arms toasty. But then I got bored of all the stockinette, so like you I casted on a summer secret top as well. At first in black cotton yarn too, but mine was too stiff and also I made a mistake during the cast on, so now I'm making one with a super colorful noro yarn. Not very summer friendly, but still this girl is content. Have fun with your first KAL, looking forward to it next ep!

    • @futurefiber

    Your dress looks great! I’ve been getting interested in sewing lately, but haven’t started anything.
    The Florencia tee is very pretty. Where do you get the Knitting for Olive yarn in the US? My local stores don’t carry it.

    • @futurefiber

      I usually order directly from the KFO website (altho this time Eweknit is sending me some)! but one of my LYS Brooklyn General Store has a bunch in stock as well :)

  • @annabelle7123
    @annabelle7123 Рік тому

    한국에서 인사드려요!!! I wish I could send you some Korean yarn so you could try out and introduce them here. You know we have so many affordable options, since we are in summer: cotton tube yarn in cones (so cheap, like 15,000 won for 300 g), tape yarns, linen and cotton mix yarn, etc.
    Then the whole variety of 100% wool in cones and you can choose the weight by two - five ply (not plied but 겹) and in various colors. I enjoy imported yarn in skeins but cones make great fabric, especially in stockinette 😉

    • @annabelle7123
      @annabelle7123 Рік тому

      I’m not a yarn seller so I really can’t but perhaps you could buy and get them shipped, or come to Korea to visit! 😁

    • @futurefiber

      ahh yesss there are so many I would love to try - I'm planning to go next year hopefully and visit all the different yarn shops in Seoul! 열매달 이틀 여름방학 실이 너무 궁금해서 배송대행으로 주문해볼까 생각도 했어요 ㅋㅋ
