In this video I will share my goals in knitting for 2024. I will talk about purchases, plans and what I will avoid. Happy knitting!
Jauks ceļojums! Šāds lakats man arī kaut kad plānā ir.
Thank you for taking us along, it looked like a beautiful place
Hello🌞 Just found your podcast. Your ballon cardigan looks so cosy and fits you well. Maybe it will even work as an extra layer in wintertime? I like the finish you have made to these knits, looks very neat and tidy to me. Also, really nice to see some wool local to you. I don't know much of latvian wool. But until recently a local to me handdyer sold something she called "Latwool". Neaver got to try it, but the colors were beautiful! Best wishes 🌺🐑 from Trine, Denmark
@@trinekristensen9941 thank you so much! Yes, cardigan could work as an adittional layer, and perfect for indoors warmth in winter time! I worked with wool from "Pāce", but I haven't heard of "latwool", and I could't find what exactly the company produces. Thank You for your comment!
Your makes are beautiful, I’ve done a v neck cardigan and I much prefer it to a round neck. Your colour work is gorgeous. You have also bought some beautiful yarns. How’s the spinning going? x
Thank you! I find V-neck cardigans more easier to layer with other garments. I did try spinning with dogs fur a little.
@@KnittingLatvian really, how did it turn out? I presume you had to blend it with something
@@samanthacross3523 I didn't blend fibres, but I spun it together with a thread, then I plied 2 strands together, and I made one little sock, for the other it wasn't enough. :)
@@KnittingLatvian wow that’s amazing
I have a lot of different teas and I keep pondering dying with them
Great idea!
SKAISTI!!!💖
Paldies!
Love the knitted chicken, we call them chooks in Australia 😊, the Latvian wool looks beautiful, sadly it is becoming harder to get Australian wool as the manufacturers are closing down or sending the work overseas.
Welcome! Why are local wool manufacturers closing down?
I am so interested in your Latvian costume, I hope we get to see some of it here. So cool to be connecting deeply with your heritage and ancestors.
Thank you so much! I'm glad, that others are also interested.
You have some beautiful makes and yarn. You are talented,every year I’m going to try entralac and every year I don’t 😂. I can’t wait to see your journey with your national costume
Thank you! 🥰
The festival looks like so much fun. I always see thing’s and think I could make that but I never do 😂x
Me too! :D
My inspiration color has always been bright Yellow 🌞
Lovely!
Tev tiešām zaļais topā, bet žaļš ir forši! 💚
I was thinking of doing the no frills sweater. The Stockholm Slipover came out beautifully. I’ve had lots of compliments
Happy for your slipover! I have to look up, what kind of sweater is "no frills''.
@@KnittingLatvian it’s one of petite knits patterns
I once knitted a pair of socks red, blue and purple then had my hair done to match 😂
Perfect!
I’ve been having a go with a drop spindle and was wondering whether it’s easier with a wheel as you can draft the wool continuously instead of stopping and starting. Looking forward to seeing your journey with spinning
It's a lot faster, I know that!
I agree, much faster. But drop spindle helped me to understand drafting. Thank you!
I have the Step by Step Cardigan in my queue for the Fall (perhaps) - the yarn you used looks beautiful, but I was wondering how was it to work with? Yarn with that much oil would have put me off I think. The beautiful soft green of your second Cumulus Tee will be so good for you with your coloring. Nice podcast, thank you.
I was knitting with metal needles, that helped with slipping, but maybe next time I will wash the yarn first.
Daudz pabeigtu darbiņu un visi tādi lieli. Man laikam ir pārāk daudz iesākto projektu, jo labi ja viens ir gatans pa mēnesi 😅
Paldies! Nav tā ka adu pa vienam, bet parasti uz adatām ir 2-3 lielie darbiņi, un kāds maziņais vēl.
Lovely to see you again, I’m glad you are feeling better. I don’t know how you knit so fast , beautiful makes. I’m currently knitting the Stockholm slip over by petite knits . I love the unicorn yarn it’s really beautiful. I have also fell into the spinning world, I got mine from Amazon but haven’t really gotten started yet
How nice! Slip over is also in my queue of knitting projects!
Sveika, ļoti skaisti darbi, iekārdināji ar Donegal tweed vilnu, esmu to izmantojusi tikai vienreiz, brūnā krāsā priekš balaklavas. Un ļoti skaists maigs rozā mākonis Tev sanācis:) prefekta dāvana sev !
Liels paldies! Tweed dzija skaista, tiešām.
Ļoti skaists džemperis ir izdevies! Un tik daudz krokusu pie jums! 😍😍😍
Paldies liels! Krokusi no aprīļa sākuma Uzvaras parkā, tagad tur sāk ziedēt sakuras koki. ;)
That sweater is gorgeous, you have done a wonderful job. I really like the colour too x edit to add happy birthday I hope you have a wonderful day 🎉
Thank you so much!
Happy Easter to you and your family. I love your jumper. I have made 3 chickens , their names are Dolly Part-hen, Gl-hen-da Jackson and Hen-mione Granger ( from Harry Potter) 😂😂xx
Thank you! What a great names for chickens! Whole chicken coop already!
Wow, cik daudz pabeigtu darbiņu. Ingrid swearer būs īsts mākonītis, tāds magis un pūkains.
Paldies! Jā, gribas pabeigt, lai var valkāt, tiešām kā mākonītis.
It’s so lovely to see spring trying to arrive. I enjoyed seeing where you live
Thank you for comment! Always happy to read from you!
Lovely. Paldies. I live in Minnesota and we usually have winters like in Moscow but this year we have had the warmest winter I have ever seen. Was your winter mild in Riga?
Cik forši ar tik krāsainām dzijām uz pavasari! 😍 Krekliņam tā dubultā apakšmala ļoti skaista.
Lovely to see you again. I can’t wait to see your brioche finished. Colour work is one of my goals too but that is the end of a very long queue 😀
Grūti teikt vai tas ir daudz vai maz. Ir noteikti tās, kam ir daudz vairāk un arī tās, kam ir mazāk. Savus krājumus neesmu nekad skaitījusi, bet gribas domāt, ka ir vairāk 🙈 Varbūt intereses pēc vajadzētu sarēķināt. Kas tā ir par aplikāciju, kuru Tu izmanto?
Apjomus pirms tam varēju noteikt pēc kastīšu daudzuma. :D Aplikācija ir "Knit note". Ja sanāks saskaitīt, tad labrāt gribēšu uzzināt rezultātus. :)
That’s very neat. I spend my time trying to make it look less than it is in case my husband looks 😂😂
Ļoti skaista koraļļu krāsa cepurītei! 😍Jau sen par tādas krāsas dziju sapņoju, laikam vajadzēs beidzot arī iegādāties sev tādu. Man parasti ir diezgan daudz iesāktu projektu vienlaicīgi, bet reti izdodas visus uzturēt formā. Tad nu ir tā, ka daļa dabū atpūsties kādu laiciņu. Man it kā ir tā, ka gribas visu reizē, bet parasti kaut kāda iemesla pēc kaut kas ir vairāk jāprioritē vai kāda dāvaniņa iespraucas pa vidu un tamlīdzīgi. Tā ir, piemēram, šonedēļ.
Paldies, prasās košumiņu ziemā. :) Pilnībā saprotu, iedvesma ir visam reizē, tikai roku un laika par maz. :D
So fun to find a knitting podcaster from Latvia! Enjoyed this episode very much. Best wishes and Happy knitting from Margaret of My Wonderful Knitting Life podcast!
Thank you! Happy knitting to you too!
Es katru gadu uztaisu makenine jeb bingo, bet parasti ļoti maz no tā uzadu. Redzēs vai šogad būs savādāk. Citādi es visus savus projektus lieku ravelry. Tad var arī pievienot ierakstu, kurā gadā projekts pabeigts un tad gada beigās var viegli redzēt, kas ir izdarīts, jo tad var atlasīt konkrēto gadu.
Ļoti laba ideja par dubultajiem cimdiem. Es dienu reizi mēģināju "oderīti" adīt, bet man kaut kā īsti nesanāca ar īķšķi. Nesacāca man viņi pareizā līmenī. Bet citādi būtu izdeāli ar divām kārtām, lai siltāk un vējš nepūš cauri.
Happy new year, I’m spending the beginning of the year making things for me for a change. All your makes are beautiful but what a brilliant idea for the tassel’s on the scarf
Thank You so much! What is on your needles?
@@KnittingLatvian I’m making a bulky weight cardigan just for me and the obligatory socks . I make so many pairs in a year
So nice! Good luck with a cardigan!@@samanthacross3523
Esmu adījusi ar dziju, kur ir neliels kašmira daudzums iekšā un dēļ tā mazumiņa vien ir jūtama tāda atsķirība. Tās man ir mīļākās un vairāk vilktās jakas.
Paldies par komentāru. :) Noteikti pamēģināšu, kad pabeigšu dabriņu, kā ir nēsāt un kādas sajūtas. Vai ir kādas firmas, kuras vislabāk izvēlies kašmiram?
@@KnittingLatvian es esmu pagaidām mēģinājusi tikai lamana modena kopā ar lamana premia no wrapinwool.
@@ligaosth5101 Paldies, b;us jāizmēģina!
Happy new year to you and your family. I am documenting everything I’m making this year too. As for colour theory I think it’s a load of rubbish. The only thing you should think is will I wear it?otherwise wear what you love
Happy New Year to you.
Thank you!
The sweater you have on is beautiful - the color, the texture, simply gorgeous. Love that you used Drops - good price for a lovely garment. I'm knitting my Stockholm sweater right now, but this makes me want to add Monday as my next knit.
Burvīgi darbiņi ❤ man liels prieks, ka Tev patika piedalīties adventes maratona adīšanā 😊
Paldies, Tev!
Lovely makes, I managed to get my Christmas knitting done with 2 days to spare. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and looking forward to seeing you next year xx
Cashmere will last your lifetime if taken care of properly. It can be very warm so when I wear cashmere sweaters I always have another top with me if I get hot. It is expensive here in the US. My husband wants a cashmere scarf -a very long one-using cashmere and pattern from Purl Soho in New York.
I love that you give knitted gifts-in the US homemade is often not appreciated. I watch knitters in Germany, Finland, Denmark and they give knitted gifts - so charming and beautiful .
This year all the gifts I'm giving are going to be self made. Maybe, gifts are not so grand and expensive, but I have put my time and thoughts in the gift. I hope that appreciation will change to better. Thank you for sharing!
So many beautiful projects! Thank you for sharing. Lovely to see a Latvian knitter. 😍 Greetings from Finland!
Lovely to see you again, I’m so impressed how much you get done. I’m on my last but one pair of Christmas socks. It’s lovely to learn about your culture so don’t feel you need to cut it down. I’m looking forward to seeing your finished brioche, I just can’t master it 😬 cables on the other hand I love doing. See you soon x
Thank you for encouragement! I admire sock knitters for their patience, hope you get everything finished!
Tā tik uz priekšu! Malacis!
Some nice tips. I don’t use magic loop but I do cast on an extra stitch to close the round in any circular knitting
Lovely family pictures your mother sounds awesome.
Thank you! :)
Very nice video. The green yarn was gorgeous! I agree with Samantha about posting the names of the patterns and the designers.
Lovely episode. Autumn is my favourite time of year. You have some lovely makes and wips. Just an idea , in your description can you put the names of the pattern/ designer ? It makes it easier to find them though I am noticing the petiteknits theme😂 Are you going to post your own designs? You are very talented x
Thank you very much for lovely feedback and I will take your advice about writing names. About my patterns, I have still to decide :)
Nice to see you again. I was surprised how your wool is mainly 2ply. That’s really unusual over here . I’m not good with most wool. Merino is probably the only sheep one. However the new yarn like alpaca/ camel/ yak are much better x
