So cool hearing how you learned knitting from watching podcasts because I picked up knitting from watching your podcasts!

I’ve been putting off this beautiful tank because it has a provisional cast on at the shoulders and your hack is so exciting! Casting on asap :)

I’m knitting Champagne Cardigan by Petite Knit, which is similar to your pattern. Please tell me what difference there is between your pattern and Champagne Cardigan.

What is nonrolling stockinette?

Talking about color work sock and stretchiness: you should look into ladderback jacquard. I knitted a pair of color work socks (the Fairy Ring socks, by Katie Green) and I ended up knitting one sock with normal floats and the other using ladderback jacquard to catch floats. The second sock is neater and stretchier, and it fits better. I recommend looking into it if you are concerned about color work socks that don’t fit and are not stretchy enough.

I was just in Helsinki last month! I really recommend going to a Finnish Sauna while you're there. The Allas Sea Pool is a nice public sauna, and it's very refreshing to swim in their ocean pool after going in the sauna!

Do you know the app happy cow? it shows you places that are vegetarian/vegan or with vegan options. I always use it when I travel abroad! :)

I love the fit of the weenie sweater, I always have an issue with sleeves beeing to short so this would actually be great for me. On another note I am still hoping you are going to knit somethign in the poppy blue yarn you got a couple months ago. I honestly belive it would look great on you.

I'd love to join the KAL! It sounds like so much fun :) plus I love me a good color work!!

£150!! 😮

Love your vlogs ❤

Which KAL are you in for the book club cardigan? I’m just a bit behind you in my progress on this one and I’d love to see all the comments about making the sleeves bigger. I really don’t want tight sleeves!

Thank you Florence you're so generous with you time and so clear with your instructions, bless x

Thank you for a great podcast, I love all your knits. Im totally gobsmacked that you learned to knit via youtube etc, amazing!! Have a fab holiday in Wales and Helsinki, they both sound amazing.

this sounds like the perfect excuse for me to buy more yarn and knit a color work sweater

Loved the episode! I really like Green Hippo Café, they have a few locations in Helsinki. They’re great for lunch! Apart from food I would definitely recommend you go to Suomenlinna, which is a fortress island. You can get a cheap boat from the market square 😊

Your Moomin house sock looks so pretty so far! Surprisingly so considering the colors are primary and not softened, I'm actually amazed to see it "in real life". In Helsinki, Sinisen Huvilan Kahvila has beautiful view, the surrounding area is nice for a walk, and the Helsinki Winter Garden is nearby (it usually has roses and other flowers outside the main building). Sushi Wagocoro has the best sushi I've ever eaten, they may have vegetarian option but probably not vegan though.

Love the KAL proposal! Is the Oxford Yarn Store your favourite yarn shop in Oxford?

Love the knit along idea!

I used to live in Finland and my top recommendations for Helsinki would be walking down Esplanadi, taking the ferry to Suomenlinna if you have time, and Kiasma if you like art museums. Kaffa Roastery was my favourite cafe in Helsinki. Hope you enjoy your trip and happy knitting!!

planning on making your mixed rib cami in a lavender cotton/cashmere (: i can’t wait to finish a tank top wip so i’m allowed to cast on another hehe

Wow! What a beautiful cardigan!!!! So pretty!! Your work is sooooo clean and detailed. By the way no one has any right to ask for a free pattern!!! There is no free lunch! You already give so much time preparing this tutorial and for that I am so grateful!!!! You are the best!!!!

enjoy your vacation! hoping the asymmetrical cabled sweater goes smoothly, i’d love to knit a cabled sweater by you if you release it as a pattern one day<333

Have you seen the Baguette Sweater by Knits Pour Moi (Korean designer, Soumine Kim) ? It’s a really beautiful cabled sweater. Something about it made me think of you. Maybe it was the colour. It has some lovely feathery cables that I haven’t seen before. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for your cable design x

I've used the KFO blue yarn before and it didn't bleed for me, however I always put a couple colour catcher sheets in the water for dark reds and blues etc and if it does bleed they have always caught the colour bleed so I would put a few sheets in just in case.

I love the idea of a knitalong for the ski sweaters, I would definitely join! :)

yes!

Helsinki is a complete vegan haven! I was suprised but most restaurants have extensive vegan options, the standard milk is often oat milk, etc. For recommendations, I highly recommend visiting Oodi Library and its rooftop terrace, renting the yellow city bikes to cycle around, Snurre the yarnshop, and a lot of secondhand shopping is also amazing in Helsinki. The coast side with the harbor is also wonderful to take a long walk, and there's no shortage of parks and little spots to sit and enjoy a coffee or icecream. And, if you have time, visiting Nuuksio National park is also worthwhile, although please take enough mosquito spray with you.

I am loving your socks!! I haven't started mine because I need to shop for some yarn in the correct colors. I found your channel recently and have been binge watching your episodes. Love them!!!!

The Lillehammer ski sweater has been on my to-do list for a long time, so I’m thrilled about your KAL idea. The timing might be tough for me, if you start it during July because of family commitments (I live in a beach house and for some reason, I’m very popular at this time of year!), but I’ll at least try to cast on with the group. I enjoy your videos and always learn something from you, Florence. I was in your neck of the woods (Cotswolds) in April, by the way. Lovely part of the world.

That winnie sweater is basically a copy of the Cloud Sweater by PetiteKnit.

Have a wonderful vacation. Thanks for your videos.

I'll have to finish watching later. 🕊️

❤

Wonderful podcast, Florence! Love your mixed rib cami so much. Thank you for the new episode, and have a beautiful summer!

I’m always surprised reading comments of people that never block garments. The yarn is usually pretty dirty, it often has some chemical coating, if anything, I just don’t want that stuff on my skin. But also, do people actually never wash their knits???

I just received my Moomin book!! I can’t wait to knit a pair of socks from it :) I was shocked when you showed it!

Very nice! Thank you very much for your generosity!

This step by step lace socks is "Great"! I'm all must done the the cuff. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Florence, can you make a video how to shape neck line and sholders in sweater like petit knit stiripped jumper. İ hope you to teach us the method of knitting jumper with short row sholders❤

Thank you! Just one question, does it make a difference if you cast on an even or odd number of stitches?

Nice content But, not SEO

That Moomin sock book is EVERYTHING

The book about socks seems fantastic ❤

Can you please tell me what color of the Noro you are using? Thanks.

thank you so much

New knitter here...does anyone know if the size includes the 15cm of ease or do I add 15cm to my bust measurement before choosing a size?

Thank you❤❤ you are the best knit channel ever❤❤❤❤

I purchased your pattern several months ago, and just cast on my third sweater. This pattern is so well written and easy to follow. The fit is perfect. Thank you for a terrific beginner-friendly pattern!

I always enjoy watching your podcasts and seeing what you're working on. BTW, I just read an article about the 10 ten hardest languages to learn. Finnish is number one.
