- Welcome to the ep2 of my knitting podcast! Apologies for the lighting change for the acquisition part of the video😔. I included photos and video clips to show the actual color of the yarn. Hope that helps! Also, please forgive me with my grammar mistakes and mispronunciations -- I was too excited when talking and my brain isn't working properly after a camping trip lol.

Thank you for your vlogs. Your mentioning of your grandma teaching you to knit brought🙂 happy memories of mine teaching me crochet. Thanks.
the way you styled your friday slipover is SO CUTE omg
I would suggest you pull out the edging of your scarf and single crochet around the edge. You did a beautiful job and spent a lot of time and money to end up with such a tiny scarf!
Thanks for your suggestion! I did remove the edge and it’s much longer now😆
G’day Jingyi, came across your podcast and really enjoyed your thoughts about your knitting. Your crochet bag is beautiful. Looking forward to looking at your other episodes. 🇦🇺
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it and loved my crochet bag! I should def give the bag more love and use it more often😆
I always knit my heels on 9” circular both heel flap and gusset or wrap and turn style. You should definitely give it a go. Maybe it’s a little fiddle-y but worth it. You could also put the resting stitches on scrap yarn or barber cord but I’m too lazy! Your family is very lucky to be getting these gift knits ❤
Hi! I’ve ordered barber cord and will definitely try only using my 9” circular again! Thank you for your suggestion🥰
Your grandfather seems so sweet! He is definitely knit-worthy!
I like to knit my socks two at a time on a 40” circular. I personally don’t mind sliding my stitches across the needles. I think the more you do it, the faster you get at it and it becomes automatic.
I am knitting a colourwork sweater as I watch
I will def knit my grandfather more stuffs! Never tried knitting 2 socks at a time, but it sounds fun and you don't need to deal with the 2nd sock syndrome!
Your vest is lovely! I really like the yarn you had used. You had mentioned that store in San Carlos; that is on my list to check out. I go once in a while to Fillory Yarn in San Jose but I tend to buy online. The color work beanie you made for your BF is terrific. I like the neutral colors and it looks thick and warm. I loved that video you got while kayaking in a clear kayak; that is so cool. One tip I've learned over the years with floats is to make sure your right side fabric is flat when making a float to the left needle. Knitting on 9" circulars, I feel is good if you throw. If that works for you then you shouldn't have to change it. I use DPNs but bamboo ones; in the past I found using the metal ones I knit tighter. There is also knitting on two circulars but you may not like that way b/c yes, the stitches at the sides can be looser than the rest. Awww...so sweet that tidbit about your grandpa. I think many of us Knitters get horizontal gauge, but not row gauge. I'm more concerned about stitches per inch than row gauge because fit width wise is more important.
Thank you so much for your kind words and suggestions!! I went to Fillory Yarn as well from time to time😆！So happy that you love my work and the clips at the beginning！Bamboo DPNs sound like a good alternative! I might check it out!
@@knit_by_Jingyi If you do try Michael's because you can use a coupon. When I first learned how to knit I always bought Clover Takumi bamboo DPNS and circulars.
Love finding a knitting podcast I like! Great episode. Currently knitting "It's not a sweater" by Knitting for Olive while watching.
Glad that you enjoyed! Happy knitting!
Hi Jingyi. It was lovely to see your podcast again. I really enjoyed it. You certainly got lots of knitting done in a short time. I enjoyed how excited you were about your Enchanted yarn. I recently purchased some Sonder Yarn that I am also so very excited to use. I think I know what I am going to use it for but right now I am just enjoying squishing it 😂😂. It is nice how much your Grandfather loves the socks you knit him. My father in law also only sleeps in the socks I knit him so I am trying to get another pair knit for him for Christmas.
Hi Katherine, thank you for watching my podcast again!! It means so much to me❤
I've heard so many great things about Sonder yarn recently! There are a lot of exciting collabs going on (Westknits MKAL, Mudo...). What are you going to knit with it? I am curious😜.
Yeah, to warm the heart of knitters, just tell them how much you love & care of their knits!
Greetings from Belgium! :) Absolutely in love with your podcasts! I love how you explain everything so detailed, you have such a soft and calm demeanor, plus fantastic color choices! Looking forward to the next one :)
Also, knitting my second christmas gift aka second storm sweater junior as I'm watching :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! Really happy that you enjoyed my podcast💙!
I knit my socks With 9 in circulars. I switch to 40 in magic loop for gusset go back to 9 in for foot then finish w 40 in magic loop for toe. Works great for me. Love your channel ❤
Thank you for sharing! I recently tried this way and I love it. Guess this will be my preferred sock knitting method as well!
I really enjoyed this episode, keep it up!! I am about 2/3 done with my Seasons Cardigan and I have a theory on how you could approach it. It's a raglan construction, so you could just try it on along the way and just stop increasing and split for sleeves once you think it is large enough, even if your gauge is off. If you're going to knit off gauge, I would think knitting on your size 9 needle gauge (14 st/32 rows) would be better than using size 7 needles since your row and stitch counts are off of the suggested gauge by a more similar ratio. 14 is 82% of 17, so you could multiply the directions by .82 to get an estimation of the stitch count you need for the size you want. 32 rows is 88% of 36, so your row count is off by a different ratio but it's not a huge difference. In my experience row count is less important especially with less fitted designs like these- you can always adjust the number of rows to the sleeves and body to make it longer or shorter. The one thing you want to make sure of is that since it's a ribbed pattern, wherever the original pattern tells you to cast on even or odd amounts to make sure your counts are also even or odd.
I have used this approach to knit off gauge before and it has turned out just fine! If your gauge off by a large percentage, the finished product could look different but I have knitted in this 80% range before and it looked normal. There are some videos on youtube explaining it better if you are interested in trying!
Wow thank you so much for the suggestion! I’ve been knitting on my Seasons Cardigan using us8 for a while now (since the row gauge is the closest to the pattern’s). I did a similar calculation and used size xs to achieve the measurements of size s. I am done with the raglan increase and it’s looking good and fits me so far!!! Happy knitting and we will have matching Seasons Cardigans🥰
Your podcast has such a serene quality about it. I enjoyed it.
For your quivit scarf, I would redo the scarf icord edge with bigger needles. Because blocking would not be a permanent solution.
I had not seen the part about your grandpa. It was so touching to hear about him. God bless you both❤
So happy to hear that you enjoyed!
Thanks for your suggestion! I used the same sized needles for the icord edge so I’ll definitely redo it with bigger needles!
I hope it works for you. Happy knitting
You can definitely do the sock heels on your 9 inch circulars! I do switch to magic loop for just the toe. I’m so sorry about your experience with the DPNs! That’s terrible. Great videos so far ❤
I’ve never knitted heels on 9” circulars, but will give it a try! Thanks for your advice❤️
I started knitting in the pandemic too! I like using wooden dpns for my socks, I've tried both bamboo from chiaogoo and the driftwood Lykke ones, and I like them both! I would caution with making socks with mondim yarn--mine felted after a few washes...if you want that effect then knit your sock a bit longer!
Wow I didn’t know chiaogoo has bamboo needles. I will def give it a try! Oh and thanks for letting me know the mondim yarn issue!
I enjoyed your podcast and recommended it some friends.
Thank you for promoting me😆🥰
jingyi this was such a lovely episode!! idk why but the part about your grandpa loving and taking care of your hand knit socks made me wanna cry haha. so cute
another potential pattern for the enchanted kid silk mohair you got would be the Boxy Cardigan Mohair Edition by Friday Knits! its v cute and doesn't look like it takes up too much mohair but check it out!
loved knitting along to this episode and listening to your projects and FOs - the sound and lighting look totally fine to me.
Aww Stella thank you! I also had tears in my eyes when talking about that🥲.
Thanks for the pattern recommendation! This boxy cardigan looks so cute and versatile!! I am having too many cute patterns to choose from☺️!
Thanks again for checking out my podcast! Yay glad to know the light & sound were working!
Hello! Couple things that I hope will be helpful: be careful to not over block your bandana. If you think you need to remove the bind off, then you probably do. Can you add a few more rows to make it larger? Magic loop is safer in the car especially since you won’t worry about dropping a needle. When switching from one side to the other, tighten up the yarn after you place your needle in the second stitch of the new side. This will take care of any holes that might occur. Anything can become a project bag… and old purse, a makeup bag, a cloth shopping bag. Look to see what you might already have. With your fisherman’s rib, did you measure your swatch before and after blocking? How big did you make your swatch? A bigger swatch will give you a better gauge measurement. It will definitely stretch further when wet so it’s important to lay flat to dry without pinning and after it’s dry let it be for a few days to see what shape it goes back into. I often pick up my swatches and handle them during this time.
Knitting is such a fun journey and we never stop learning new things! Good luck with all your projects.
Hello! Thank you soooo much for sending all these suggestions❤️!!
I will probably add another stripe repeat to the bandana if the yarn is enough - planning to knit another one right now😆
For sure I will try magic loop! I hope practice makes perfect!
My half fisherman’s rib swatches were 10cm*5cm, so I feel they should give me a pretty good estimate for the stitch count. I didn’t see much change before and after blocking. Maybe the issue was because I measured them when they were still wet and I didn’t stretch them at all😂. Good to know that we need to wait for swatches to go back to its original shape before measuring! I will definitely block and measure again! Thank you so much🥰
Another lovely episode. Thank you !
Welcome back and thank you for the support❤️
Enchanted Cardigan!!! I love that!! That’s one of my favorite TS songs too!
Now I have the motivation to knit on this cardigan💜
you have such a beautiful, elegant style to your knits! you also seem like such a kind person, i was also so moved by your grandfather's reaction to your handknit socks. so happy to find your podcast, take care!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Happy knitting🥰
Another lovely podcast! I’m a crocheter who is getting into knitting, so I’m working on an super simple scarf right now! 😊
Thank you!😊 Scarf is def a good starting point!
a fellow northern california knitter yay!! i live in a small town kind of between sacramento and truckee, and we have the loveliest little local yarn store here, but i also absolutely love going up to atelier truckee! hope you have a good day! (also i know im coming across this episode quite late haha, but 新年快乐 !! i took chinese lessons in elementary school and even though that was years ago now i remember a little bit of it!!)
Hi! There are a lot of yarn stores around sac area I always want to visit! What’s the name of your local yarn shop?
(It’s a late reply 😞, but wishing you all the best in the year of dragon🐉!)
@@knit_by_Jingyi it’s called heathered yarn co!! so lovely, the owner dyes a lot of her own yarn and spins too!
Hi! I love your episodes. I learned knitting during covid times too! I watched tutorials on youtube and advanced myself into knitting sweaters. I am currently making a knitted sweater with noro yarn kakigori. So soft and sqishy. The pattern has a hood and a front pocket. I love knitting also and find it very peaceful. Happy knitting!!
Hi! Glad to hear that you love my episodes! UA-cam is just so helpful for learning new stuff😄. Wow I’ve always wanted to try noro yarns. Thanks for the inspiration🥰, and enjoy!
Lovely episode, Jingyi, thank you. I am working on a Lanark sweater using possum merino yarn from NZ, too. It is for my husband - the first sweater I have knit for him 😬🤞🏼Just like your grandad, he has worn the socks I knit for him in bed every cold night since the day I gave them to him and has never washed them. He says they are the comfiest socks in the world and that they cuddle his feet and never need cleaning. He thinks they are magical socks 😂. So he deserves a sweater.
Aww that’s very cute! Hand knitted socks for our loved ones are magical❤️
I think I am similar in that I am currently learning to crochet and am making a little cactus but I am more keen to make garments and explore that. I wonder if this is a common feeling haha.
You are so talented! ❤
Thank you🥰
Oh, I’m so sorry you miss your hometown. I hope you like the town you live in now and that you have some friends who speak your native language so you don’t miss home so much.
Thank you for your sweet comment❤️! I enjoy my life here in the states. It’s just I haven’t been back to my hometown and seen my family for too long. A part of my heart will always belong to where my family is.
So lovely to see your podcast again! I’m inspired by your plan of knitting the baa-ble hat for your sister because I have a sister 16-year younger than me as well (though her zodiac is not sheep, haha). Really look forward to your next episode and seeing how your knitting goes!
Hi 绪绪! Welcome back to my channel, and thank you for sending your love!
It’s amazing that we all have sisters and with the same age differences! Have you knit her anything? I am curious😆
@@knit_by_Jingyi Haha I’ve crocheted her some accessories but nothing knitted yet, because I only started knitting this year. But you sharing of gift knits is so motivating, making me feel like more gift knitting now (as the ideal me always wish for 🙊).
Yeah kids just grow so fast and accessories are definitely worth to knit comparing with garments which only gonna fit them for a season🤣! (I am a selfish knitter for most of the times lol)
Really enjoyed your podcast! I made a baable hat a while back and really love it; it will be so cute for your sister🤗
I got some sandnes garn double sunday from fiber circle studio in Petaluma (probably not super close either and not sure how many lines they carry 😅) but it's a lovely store to visit for fun 😊
working on a stripe hype sweater while watching this!
Hi Julia, glad to hear that you enjoyed my podcast!! Thanks for recommending your local yarn shop! I’ve never been to fiber circle studio before but it looks so lovely (looking at the photos from google maps)!
yay, thank you for giving us a little introduction at the beginning. nice to hear more about you :)
i am happy that now people can learn knitting from videos. i learned when i was young and youtube wasn't so big, i don't even think ravelry existed yet! i learned from a book
i LOVE petite knit and they have very beautiful vest patterns, the color you chose is so soft and nice
OMG eras tour yarn?! i neeeeeeed it. what is your favorite song from Midnights?
Thanks! Yep I def owe youtube tuition since i learned many new skills from it😂. I've purchased more knitting books since I want to learn it seriously!
It's SO hard to pick a fav... but I am in the mood for Maroon! What's your favorite song?
@@knit_by_Jingyi hmm right now karma (the original one, not the one that features someone else) or lavender haze
I also prefer the original version of Karma😂… guess ice spice didn’t win our hearts
@@knit_by_Jingyi haha she surely didn't, why mess with a perfect original?
LisaR: Hi from NY ! I really enjoyed your podcast . Your relationship with you Grandparents is heartwarming:) He treasures you .The new socks are a wonderful gift. If you have time to answer - I wonder if you carry your yarn under the crochet stitches as you change colors or do you use separate bobbins of color as in intarsia knitting? The project bag is very beautiful!
Hello! So happy to hear you enjoyed my podcast! For the project bag, I carry yarn under stitches so that the fabric is extra sturdy at the bottom of the bag. Thank you and happy knitting/crocheting!
Hi Jingyi, I love the Seasons Cardigan as well and hope to knit myself one one day, so I hope you'll be able to figure out your gauge! The yarns you bought look so beautiful I can't wait to see what you knit with them
Hi Mathilde, I’ve been made more progress on the Seasons cardigan with us8 needles! It looks good so far but I still didn’t met gauge😅. I just hope the size will turns out to be fine🤞. Yeah I def recommend the yarn! It’s a Canadian yarn so I am not sure if it’s available in your area tho
@@knit_by_Jingyi I'm crossing my fingers for you that it turns out fine! I don't think the yarn is available here no :( but visiting Canada is on my list of places to travel to one day so I'll write down the yarn name so that I can find it then maybe haha!
❤
I loop my socks pretty much always now and two at a time. I seemed to make second one always bigger, so ..
Making a pair right now to my daughter.
My second ever fingering weight socks with 2mm needles.
Greetings from Southwest Finland 🤗
Hand knitted socks are always such great gifts! Happy knitting❤️🧶
好可爱的帽子。谢谢分享
谢谢❤️！
The hat is so beautiful! Thanks for the video😊. Greetings from the Netherlands. (with an icord scarf you could block it before finishing it with an icord maybe?)
Thank you🥰! I will probably block again and then use a larger needle for icord🤞
@@knit_by_Jingyi good plan!
Knitty Natty blocks her sweaters as she goes to make sure her sweaters fit properly. She has a cord she slips her stitches on. Episode 171 the Citrine Lite sweater. Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
Great! I will check out her episode! Thanks for watching my podcast again🥰
@@knit_by_Jingyi Be warned, The Citrine Lite might be tempting after watching her - I bought the pattern even though I am only knitting from stash this year. Haha!
I am already tempted to purchase the pattern🤣! The shoulder & sleeve constructions look so fun!
@@knit_by_Jingyi Right? There is a pattern with thicker yarn, but the Lite looks so pretty I think it will be worth the sore hands to make 😁
Yeahhh! Thanks for the inspiration!
Have you tried doing socks with 2 24inch needles? Emma Jaeger does that (Midsummer knits dream)
No I haven’t. Will def look it up! Thanks for your suggestion❤️
