Check out the Be Mine Blouse by Park Williams, I think you’d like it.
Hi, I have knit the capulet blouse by Fabel knitwear and was also confused with the gauge. I ended up going down one whole needle size to meet gauge🤷🏼♀️. But once I figured this out knitting it was fine. On a different note, I am also a cool summer type but sometimes feel a bit confused about yarn colors that would suit me like purple, red or brown. Could you make a video giving some yarn color options for each Color type and why it would suit the season? (I know you already have a similar video but maybe make one with more “complicated” colors☺️?
A currently popular project that holds two strands of pure silk is Blouse no 1.
I like the patterns you chose! It is so fascinating to me that I didn't even notice these patterns from your round up when I scrolled through the new releases on Ravelry. I have a similar video on my own CZcams channel but the patterns are competely different.
Ooh I'll be curious to hear how you like the Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk. Have heard mixed verdicts on whether it's next to skin soft.
How does graying hair affect what your season is? I have dark hair but the gray is starting to take over!
Prozac - yes! Me too :) haha
I really love the idea of autumnal cashmere top. i actually have a Cardiff Cashmere in my stash, waiting for the right project to come. And seeing yours inspo photo I can see it in my wardrobe :D I would only make mine with a bit more positive ease, something like a semi-batwing top? Not really a batwing, but a bit wider straps. About weather - we have another heat wave in Poland now, over 30 deg Celcius, so about 90F. I thought that in the middle of August it will be more autumnal weather, but nope, not yet.
Wow 🤩 what an amazing person you are! Saving animals in need! You are very special! I love animals too! You always look amazing, don’t worry. Love your work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing the pet loves!!❤❤
I love hearing about this book and your design process!
I think you could include them and note that they are not tested. Especially when it's a free pattern, as there are so little free patterns in bigger sizes! I know I wouldn't mind giving feedback like it was a test knit if I were to knit it. If you mention in your note that feedback is welcome, that way you might get it tested anyway (but then without a deadline).
It’s really interesting to hear your design process because i don’t really see designers mentioning it, especially in podcasts. Definitely include the extra sized and mention they’re untested! Also, love the autumnal top, it’s super cute, especially in that pink!!
16:27 definitely interesting! 👏
17:38 definitely include them! I really like what you’ve pointed out in other videos about patterns that say that some sizes aren’t tested, but that the designer would love to have people contact them about testing one of these sizes, and in exchange they’d get the pattern for free. I know you said you are releasing this pattern for free, so it wont be exactly the same, but I liked the sentiment! I think people will understand that when designers are just starting out, they might not necessarily have access to a fully diverse pool of test knitters- congratulations on your reach though! Great that you’ve been able to get testers for all but two of the sizes! (Also to add… for future patterns, I would definitely recommend that you charge for them! When I pay for a pattern, I feel that I am valuing the work (both creative and technical) and time that the designer has put into the pattern- I feel good about supporting designers financially. I also see it as a way that designers are valuing their own skill and talent. I know that there are also market forces as play, so maybe it’s strategic to enter the market at a lower price-point. But truly- you are a talented knitter and voice in the knitting community; you can definitely ask people to pay you for your work. 💪❤)
24:15 Hero! 🎉🐾
I’m looking forward to the release of your first pattern. I do think that you should release the larger sizes and just make a note that they haven’t been test knit. Perhaps someone will come across the pattern on ravelry when it’s released and want to help you with testing those larger sizes.
No shame in taking psych meds! I’m on lifelong meds and it’s worth it to stay well. Where I live stays in the 60s most of the hot days, definitely has perks! Means I can wear wool all year round.
I’m not a knitter (I crochet) but I am plus size and I have run across patterns that have the 4x and 5x sizes that were not tested but are still included. Usually the pattern designer will note that those sizes are untested. I do think you should include those additional sizes but with a note that they have not been tested.
Currently I have waaaay too many wips. An Olive sweater and a Chunky Dahlia for my toddler, a Kuutar top, Concha, and Leela top for myself. Thr Concha and Leela are both almost done, but the Kuutar is kicking my butt and I just had to rip out 5 rows of the lace 😅
I'm from South Arkansas and agree with you completely on wearing slightly thicker/partially wooly tanks and camis nearly year around. They're a great layering piece and a way to stay cozy but not too hot during all but the midsummer.
my external mic didn’t record so sorry if the audio is different this time!! thanks for watching and comment what you are working on while you watch!! 🩵🩵
If you didnt get enough plus size testers Im generally a 2-3xl and down to hop on a couple days late as I have suitable yarn. I have a 54" bust.
Hooray for summer knits! I live in central Texas and it's rarely cold enough for me to be knitting cozy winter sweaters or using a lot of wools. I love tee patterns and yarns with blends of cotton, linen, viscose, or silk.
Please do not showcase patterns that are not size inclusive.
@@Marielm1 hi, I do make an effort to only show patterns that are size inclusive, every pattern in this video has 8-10 sizes except 2, which have 7 sizes. The alva gerensen is tested up to 2 xl and includes 3xl, but she was unable to find testers for it, and I’m sure the hope top is the same. I am running a test knit for my own design and I couldn’t find anyone to test knit 4xl and 5xl! I’m sure it’s better to put out the sizes you could get tested rather than letting people pay for untested sizes just to be size inclusive. I would think most designers would be welcome to grade patterns for someone who is one of those sizes if they are willing to test it for them!
We really should bring back fitted sweaters! Oversized doesn't flatter everyone. I mostly look floppy with it. That's why I like vintage sweaters and designers like Fabel Knitwear so much. Apart from it being a trend since pretty much the 80's (with some exceptions in the 2000's), oversize doesn't require much knowledge about shaping, so it's pretty beginner friendly and forgiving. I guess that's one reason for it being predominant.
You’re so fun to listen to and very detailed! Love watching!! ❤
I absolutely love The Celine! They are all gorgeous! ❤❤
Can we meet your pets? ❤
Just discovered you yesterday. Looking forward to you tank, unfortunately couldn't sign up for testing. I find your taste and opinions very similar to mine. I also prefer thin needles, especially for summer knits, and it takes time to find patterns with <28 stitches! Aldo I can't hear Petit knit anymore, though I'm just 1 year into knitting. Thank god I found another CZcamsr who won't shower me in endless PK works. I normally just skip anything with that name in the preview. Thanks for your thoughts and your job ❤
So much fun to watch! Wanted to mention woozy by Celine has a knitting podcast here as well :)
@@flo9 I’m obsessed with her!! Love her videos
Omg, is this a new camera/setting? Btw, the barbroe top looks so good! I’ve seen the fleur tee before and it’s so nice, i’d love to knit that
@@blank.stitches it’s cinematic mode on my iPhone!! Totally worth it!
Love your picks!
Love your choices of patterns and love more your four animals 😅😂😂😂😊❤❤❤❤❤
Love these round up videos! Particularly hearing what you think is interesting and why- you notice things about patterns that I might overlook, which is great! I’ve definitely added mine new things to my wish list/plans! Thank you!!
Exciting! 😊
Love your selection here, thanks for sharing. Could I ask what you’re wearing please? It’s lovely 🧶💕
@@lorrainewalker9426 thank you! It’s the barbroe top by knitting for olive
Just FYI - Simone Ryan just released a version of the Cleo top in a smaller gauge. I think its called the Cleo Light.
@@kristinm3729 ahh thank you for telling me!! Definitely knitting it at some point then
Your barbroe looks soooo good 😍
@@kaitlyntrugman6015 thank you!! ❤️
Congratulations - your Design looks so beautiful and i think, it fits you just perfect. Great Episode as always 😍
@@marionheidinger327 thank you so much!
I like your selections, you seem to have appreciation for fashion and style 💁🏾♀️✨ I'm even coming back to this video because I kept thinking about the Naomi top the Knot one and the mermaid scales one are also so cool✨
😊 You're so cute. The Euro has Cents, too. So its either e.g. 5 point 5 Euros or more used: 5 Euros and 50 Cents. Hope that helps.
Was failing making an instagram account for being able to join the test-knit <3 <3 <3 I trie again, if you give me a go :)
I looove that boat neck top (as you already know bc i’ve been fangirling over it for ages hahah)! I’ve literally just ordered the needles for it because i’ve not knitted anything on 2.75mm before, but i cannot wait! I’m really intrigued by the Mystery 101 - i’ve not heard about it before but it really seems up my alley. Really enjoyed this podcast, as usual!!
@@blank.stitches thank youuuu!! ❤️❤️
This is a beautiful top! I like how you explain the construction and reasons why you've chosen to do particular things in the design.
@@user-uj7xg3xs4x thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
I think you’d look great in a white top and it would be great for the tutorial. I’m sure Knitting for Olive has a great true summer white. 😊
@@champagneknits9333 limestone is perfect but I realized my second cast on I had been knitting on the wrong size needles 🙄 so I think blueberry ice cream will be the one filmed!
Ha ha ha I had such a laugh with your jokes, they really make you stand out as a podcaster. You can be very proud, it's a big achievement designing a garment! And I would love to help you with this testknit, but am leaving for a summer holiday in a week. Will be back end of august. If this is workable, timing wise, let me know! I'm guessing I'd apply for a size M. Oh and color advise, well what would you think of the merino in unicorn purple, lavender blue or pearl grey? Fennel seed seems fun too, but I have no idea what this color would look like in real life. Ice blue is also beautiful but might be too 'bright' for you? OMG I really need to see the limestone color! It sounds like the perfect neutral color!!
@@jessicagerretsen5500 limestone is so perfect!! I definitely will be showing it off in the next ep, it’s so beautiful I really can’t decide what to knit with it!! Thank you so much btw, I’m glad my jokes are appreciated ❤️❤️
Your top is gorgeous
@@theaduproject thank you so much!
Thank you for another great episode! Your Basic boat neck tank looks so good. A great wardrobe staple! I love the mystery 101 series too! Have a great week!
@@mynorthknitcorner have you finished mystery 101? My husband and I finished it last night and if you haven’t seen it just skip the last 5 minutes 🥲 thank you for the nice words!
You remind me of Rory from the Gilmore girls ❤
Congratulations ❤so great!!!
@@Serenity-fu8xz ❤️❤️
Yay! So excited to watch this video!! ❤❤❤
