The Sophie scarves are so extremely popular here in Norway! I see them everywhere and worn by so many people. I’ll usually see a couple each day when it’s not so cold you need a big scarf around your neck, and I’ve also seen a few people knitting them on public transport. They are really an epidemic here. Now my grandmother even has one as my sister made her one for her birthday in a beautiful blue colour ❤
That's so very fun!! Gosh it must be so cool to be somewhere which is full of knitters 😄 Your grandmother must look so hip and fashionable with her beautiful scarf 💅🏻
Your videos are so well done! Informative and very professional looking. 💕
Beautiful halter top! Really cute.
Thank you for talking about yarn stores ! Here in Perth there is only 2 both over an hour away 🤦♀️.
Also great podcast 😊
Thank you so much! It's a shame your LYS isn't so local 😫
Hahahaha - your brother-in-law is hilarious!! No wonder you love knitting for him! He looks very knit-worthy. 😊
hahaha isn't he a hoot!! Honestly the ideal reaction to getting a knitted gift
I really like your Antler Toque. I love your brother-in-law's excitement for the Deanie Beanie! LOL
hahah isn't he great!!
Found your podcast through the Australian Knitters United group. I love the name!! I do a podcast with my sister (we are based in Melbourne). Looking forward to following your episodes and definitely keen to see some warmer weather projects. It was 38 in Melbourne today. I also want to disperse my gift knitting throughout the year and not have a big rush at the end of the year.
I’ve just subscribed and can’t wait to watch your videos - thank you so much for the lovely comment and for popping over from the FB group (isn’t it a wonderful group?!). 38 degrees is really a bit much I reckon! I hope you were able to find a nice pocket of air conditioning to hide out in 😁
Your socks turned out great. Also your brother in law is adorable and looks very knit worthy
Thank you so much :D He is incredibly knitworthy and loving all of the attention 😂
Thanks for your BWM yarn recommendation. We are visiting Bendigo next month, and I have an Antler cardigan in my future so I now know what to get! I've knit a few Antler hats and love the pattern.
Love your first video! I can highly recommend Winwick Mum's Sockalong website and pattern. She describes the sock maths that enables you to calculate how to fit your socks to whatever feet you are knitting for. I've knit nearly 60 pairs and most are Winwick Mum patterns
I gifted a lot of fingerless gloves this year. I use the Mylky Way Fingerless Mittens pattern
Hello! I’ve just had a look at the Winwick Mum’s Sockalong website and am blown away. I wish I had found this website when I was trying to figure out my first sock! Thank you for sharing the great recommendation 🙌🏻 I hope the BWM Luxury 10 ply works for you as well as it did for me in the antler cardigan (I think you will love the finished object - I certainly did!). Thanks again for popping by to watch 😊 PS - so envious that you’ll be able to visit BWM in person! How fun!
+1 for Winwick Mum socks. I'm a beginner knitter and really happy with how my socks turned out. They're even wearable!! Hello from a fellow Qlder 👋
lovely podcast thank you from UK
Morning from Perth WA ❤I found you via In her Skein, Marie-Eve.
Great video, thank you.
So looking forward to our winter 😊
How fabulous, she's just so lovely!! I can't wait as well. Not long now 😉
Hi Nadine, I am so glad to find your podcast. I too am from Brisbane, your LYS is also mine ! And I want to learn how to knit socks.
I am also about to knit Rebel as it happens. I like to hear about your yarn choices because I have the same issues. Thanks for starting this. Stay cool.😅
Hello! you have wonderful taste in cities and projects 😉 Maybe one day we'll run into each other at our LYS!
Keep going with your channel! Love it! I’ve been thinking about this topic as well. Look forward to hearing more from you
Thank you so much for the encouragement and lovely comment! I'm so glad you liked this video 😊🩷
Hello from Adelaide, South Australia.
Great podcast. I also tend to like making knit gifts for Easter as its usually starting to get a bit cooler then.
Thank you so much! That’s a fantastic idea. I was just thinking today that the cooler weather will probably be here before we know it. I’m looking forward to a bit of a break from the heat, for sure!
Congrats on your new podcasting adventure! I really enjoyed it. We don't have enough Aussie knitting channels specifically for us. I watch a lot of knitting channels, as an avid knitter, insomniac plus I'm a knitting teacher at our local wool shop, I have to be mindful for older customers not to use the word yarn instead of wool, and once I mistakenly used the the word 'fingering' instead of 4ply, (too many American podcasts that morning), that did not go down well. I think that the sophie scarf hasn't been such a hit here is that it's very small and it's tight around the neck, which I don't think us Aussies like. I knitted one for daughter in-law, who thought that I had run out of wool, I unravelled it and made it longer for her by adding another colour like a stripe effect & it was looser around her neck. I knitted the Musselburgh hat for oldest grandie girl using all the little bit of leftover sock yarns, that was a good way to use up odds & ends
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I saw your comment today just before I started work and have been itching to reply all day. How great that you teach at your local wool shop - it sounds like you would be a wonderful resource for your students! I learned how to knit from CZcams and after seeing your comment I think I’ve adopted the American terminology without entirely realising it was American! I did notice that some stores here tend to use 4 ply instead of fingering (for example) and just thought the terms were used interchangeably based on preference. I’m glad to have learned something new and look forward to doing some research on the Aussie terms 😉 I think you’re totally on the money about the Sophie scarf - the comment about running out of yarn would have been hilarious 😂 thanks again and hope to chat again soon!
I find it interesting how you talk about wearing wool knits in the air conditioned buildings. 😂 I can see why knitting with wool is not as popular in Australia given the weather.
hahah yes, I love some very cold air con!!
Great podcast, just discovered after Marie-Eve @inherskein talked about you 😊 And I’m falling for your earrings 😍 Where did you get them?
She's the best!! how lovely of her to mention me. OooOoo yes I love these earrings too. They're from Lovisa!
Hello darling, would you be able to send me the link to the Sophie Scarfe as I am having trouble finding it on Ravelry. Thank you ❤❤❤
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment for me. Here is a link to the Sophie Scarf. If you can't click on it, I hope it will work for you if you copy and paste it into your web browser. ravel.me/sophie-scarf-2 🩷🩷🩷🩷
I agree, knitting with small circulars is hard on the hands. Consider using a long cable for magic loop, knitting 2 at a time toe up socks! I first followed a book by Antje Gillingham, but there are many videos now for the technique. I knit mitts two at a time too.
