I enjoyed this so much. I’ve been off my knitting for most of a year except for socks. My parents died and I lost my creative mojo. THIS has kindled the spark again.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I finally got my knitting inspiration back and never made this pattern, but I'm ready! Let's do it! Love from Colorado ❤
I hope your knitting will be therapeutic in this time of loss- may it bring you peace and joy.
❤
So sorry for your lost. You'll enjoy knitting the ranunculus. As Selma I've just realized that I made 10 and still thinking of another one. 😘
@@sallysummerfield9952 I hope you will join in on the fun!! Sending you many hugs!! I hope you will take in the love that I’m noticing here!! So wonderful!! ❤️❤️
Ok, I think I REALLY must knit a ranunculus❤ thank you for sharing all of yours!
You should!
@@littlebigknits 🥰🥰
Selma you are a national treasure! Make that international ❤
We love you all over the world!
🥰🥰😘😘🤗🤗
Love the ranunculus - I too consider it as a pallet cleanser because it’s such a quick and satisfying knit.
Hello. I am not a regular viewer but a friend passed your video my way because we have discussed this ranunculus pattern. Thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts together. You were thorough and generous with your reviews and commentary. It must have been time consuming to create and edit. Thank you for sharing.
She did a really good job when she rewrote the pattern. Getting the update for free felt really kind.
I think my favourite one is the DK one I've made though.
I’m late to the Ranunculus party, like you Selma I wasn’t too keen when I first saw it, but I’ve just completed my second and now understand fully why this is such a popular pattern. It’s incredibly versatile as you say and I love the way you can use just about any yarn you want. I think my favourite of your collection is your Christmas red, the colour is perfect.
Congratulations on your 100th episode!
I havent made a Ranuculous sweater. The pattern is unreadable for someone with dyslexia. The pattern has information written in a complex way. I see you've knit so many and they all look great. Ive tried about 15 times and failed so I gave my purchased pattern away.
there are videos here on CZcams to help you trough the whole pattern!
each ranunculus is stunning fabulous colour choices congrats on 100 episodes keep taking care xxxx
Thank you so much 😊 Enid!!
I love the study of yarns. I grew up on acrylics and have been learning there are so many amazing natural yarns. I am also trying to understand knitting with more than one fiber.
Congratulations on your 100th episode! I have certainly enjoyed them, so thank you!!!! Totally inspired by your love of the Ranunculus, I have made 3. On 3/4 sleeved one which is my favorite, and 2 short-sleeved ones. I have mental plans for a wintery one and I would love another warm weather version. It’s such a great pattern!!
I knitted a dk Ranunculus in Drops Karisma. Loved it! My favourite winter jumper xxx
The sweaters are just beautiful!
Thank you!!
Fabulous! Thank you for the inspiration. I continue to hem-and-haw about yarn choice. I’m not a big fuzzy mohair type and would like to make it just out of plain, non-superwash fingering weight yarn. You’ve given me inspiration and lots of food for thought. Thank you. salam wa sa’aadah
Congrats on your 100th podcast✨. Love all of your Ranunculus sweaters, especially the light orchid(purple) one...such a glorious color! Thanks for sharing!
Wow you look beautiful in them all. Colours so beautiful
You really inspired me! Now I know what to knit! Greetings from Cologne 🎉
Your timing couldn’t be more perfect! I had just wound up my yarn for my third Ranunculus here you are with this. Yay! Can’t wait to watch
Can’t wait to see yours Leanne!! 😘😘😘
That was fun, thank you. So many pretty colors and even different textures, all from the same basic pattern. So creative and yeah, I can see you wearing it as a dress too. I have a sort of tank top 'shift' made of t-shirt material and immediately thought of that under it with a lighter shade of the same color over top. I look forward to seeing it when you do fit it into your already busy queue!
Great versions. Planning my second. Long sleeved and I think I’ll do the icord but leave it as a bell sleeve. Need a red too. Great look for Christmas
Love all of your sweaters 😍😍😍
I am just finishing my first renunculus. It has been fun. I did finish my sleeves with the I-cord and they are just shy of elbow length. Thanks for sharing your renunculus journey!
Thank you Selma. I'm just planing to do my first Ranunculus.
Happy 100! 🎉 I have enjoyed every episode 🙂 thank you for sharing all your knowledge, and life with us ❤
I’ve knitted four of these… and now I need another one!! Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome!
🙏Awesome, Thank you for sharing,I like making sweaters Top down, I'll surely make the Renuculus Design,nice Topper to replacing a Shawl 💚
I knitted Swarovski crystals into the front yolk of my Ranunculus. The effect is subtle (dark purple crystals with dark purple yarn) but special enough that it has become my fancy Christmas sweater. Thank you for sharing all of your versions.
Perfect timing. Especially helpful in guiding me which size I should knit depending upon which yarn I choose. Can't wait to get started thank you again for your very informative video
You did it! I’m now officially sold on this pattern!! I’ve been shying away from this pattern as I was not particularly interested in it until watching this podcast. I have purchased the pattern before getting to the end of your video and have gone through my stash of yarn where I can now put some of it to great use. l am so inspired to make a few versions of this pattern! So excited!
What a lovely 100th episode, such a delightful tribute to your ranunculus versions. Love them all! Thanks, Selma. See you soon 💌
So timely as I'm working on my 1st one!
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy it!!
I agree. Do the icord.
Selma I love the renditions of all your Ranunculus sweaters, just beautiful in all the array of colors. Can you believe I haven't even made 1 yet. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great and timely podcast for me. I have yet to knit my first ranunculus and this gave me lots to consider in terms of yarn choice and modifications. Thank you!
Great Ranunculus Parade ❤ I knit one for my daughter and I really must cast one on for me, maybe with yarn from New Mexico 😉
Yes yes yes!! See you soon!!
Congrats on your 100th episode. I am working on my first one right now (as a newer knitter). I can't wait to have it done to wear it. It's exciting that we're in tge same city 😊
What a wonderful, comprehensive look into the Ranunculus sweater! Thank you! I've knit one with DK, The Fibre Co , Luma. It turned out tad too small but I gave it to my teen granddaughter. This inspires me to try another one! ❤
Ooooo...love the red! I have a perfect skirt to go with it. I'll be hunting for red wool now...
What a wonderful and informative video. Loved seeing your sweaters and modifications. Gives me great inspiration for my own Ranunculus Sweater. Thank You
Thank you sooo much! I love them all and your enthusiasm is so contagious. It gives me the nudge to just go for it..I have about 6-7 different yarns in mind..
I have a feeling once I get going it will be several versions like binging.
When I find a pattern I enjoy I tend to knit it many times with different yarns etc.
Warm hugs to you!
Congrats on 100! I guess the key to the pattern is versatility - yarn type and weight, sizing loose or voluminous, suiting most body types, as well as economy of yarn, speed of making, and so on. You described the process beautifully, and the proof was in the variety of your makes and how you wear each differently. Really helpful! And as a palette cleanser 😉 Thanks so much.
Congrats on 100 episodes. I haven't knit a Ranunculus yet, but I do have two in the plans, one for summer and one for winter.
Sounds great! 👍🏻
Wow 100 ... I remember the first one and that does not seem like very long ago! Congratulations! I too love the Ranunculus and the versatility of it.. I love the sleeve I-cord version with the short row shaping preceding it... I also love the I-cord as the finish to a bell sleeve... so many lovely and fun choices... Thanks for your overview!
Selma, what an interesting episode. I followed each minute of it as if you were telling us the story of each your Ranunculi. You look so passionate. I'm very late on that one, as I own the pattern for years now and didn't try it yet... after watching this, I think it won't take me too long to finally try it. You really convinced me to take the step. Thank you Selma.
This was so enjoyable! It has inspired me to try one! Thank you. ❤
@@mjkwiatek7217 go for it!!
@@littlebigknits I never make anything for myself. I definitely will try one for me this year.
❤❤thanks so much,,selma🎉🎉🎉
Wow!!! Amazing episode,,,m

Just make socks and simple shawls,,
Love them all,,,
ELAINE 🏠💗
I really enjoyed seeing all of your Ranunculus's. I've made several and they are not posted on Ravelry. I imagine there is a lot made that have not been counted by Ravelry. I will be make my next one maybe next week. In 2023 I picked up 5 skeins of this lovely soft blue yarn that has sparkle in it. The color name is breeze. It is fingering weight and I bought enough to make the Bright Side sweater and a Ranunculus. I am going to make a Ranunculus in black. I think it would be stunning in black. I can see it with jeans for black dress pants, or any color with it will work. Thank you for sharing these. They are all beautiful.
I still haven't made a ranunculus even though I bought the pattern last year. I must get onto this! All of yours are so lovely and inspiring! 💜
🤔 Why I don't have a Ranunculus yet? Thank you for an inspiration.
Congrats on 100 episodes! 🎉 this convinced me to try making this… Knowing you can without the short row shaping is what I needed to hear as a beginner.. I have perfect yarn for this I bought Vienna in 2023. My first knit sweater, thanks for the inspiration 😊
Love your “collection” 😉
Like the I-cord for new one, but i’d gather up the sleeves more.
Loving all of your Ranunculus sweaters. Have never liked the look of the chunky one that is generally pictured but all of yours are so delicate and pretty that I may have to “give it a go”. Thank you for sharing 🙋🏼🏴
I appreciate you sharing your experience with the ranunculus pattern. It’s back in my queue now.
I may be one of the few knitters who have never knit a Ranunculus but I have some alpaca silk in my stash that may make the perfect pairing for a falll stash bust project. Thanks for the inspiring video.
I have wanted to try making a Rununculus and seeing all yours hanging together is inspiring. ❤
I have had the R pattern for quite a while and haven't made one yet! I'll get around to it after seeing all the different possibilities you've shown. Thank you for reminding us that there's no wrong way to do anything with knitting (well, not really!)
Enjoy your knitting!
What a great summary of all your Ranunculus! I’ve knit 4 or 5, agreed it is such a great versatile pattern. I’ve always used the original pattern. When in doubt what to do with yarn, knit a ranunculus.
The Ranunculus is one of my most loved patterns. I’ve made 3 to my self and 4 for gifts. And in a lot af different yarn.
And I think it was you that inspired me 😍 so thanks 🥰
Have a nice summer 🌞
Thank you!!
I shrare your love of Ranunculus, I made 10 of them, 6 I gifted ans I kept 2 shrot sleeves and 2 long sleeves for myself. I can now knit them in less than a week. They make great gifts because they don't have to be so fitted, plus they fit all types of bodies. My favorite ones were make with Camarose Snefnug or drops air, both very airy but warm blown yarns. I have yet to make one in linen, i'd like to try a chainette linen which is hard to come by. I also prefer the iCord sleeve for your newest Ranunculus, but it does need the diminutions, I agree. Lovely footage at the end thanks for the beautiful views of the Rideau River 🙏
Congratulations on your 100th episode Selma. I have knitted the ranunculus with WYS Exquisite Lace and Drops Silk Mohair in cream and I love it, it is so beautiful . I really enjoyed seeing all your versions again and it was your inspiration that influenced my decision to knit it. I couldn’t pick favourite one they are all quite different, but I think the pink one you
had doubts about the length is actually quite lovely and you definitely suit that colour.
Loved seeing all of your Ranunculus sweaters and listening to your dialogue on each one of them! Love the 2 Ranunculus I have knitted, both in Lang Lyon 80% silk & 20% linen. Very recently picked up my Ranunculus WIP from Dec 2022 knit using Schachenmayr Catania, a beautiful Sport weight cotton made in Hungary, that I sized down; knitting with 4 mm for yoke and 3.75 mm for body. Didn’t like the twisted rib neck ribbing so have just cut off ribbing and removed the front short rows (a bit of a trial to do so) and redoing the neck band before returning to knitting the main body. Thanks for another great episode!
Congratulations on episode 100! Love your podcasts - so clear and positive in attitude. I like how you describe how much you wear them and the yarns used. I avoided the ranunculus pattern for quite awhile because of the photo on the original photo. I just didn’t want that very loose see-through look. Then because of the podcasts and Ravelry projects decided to do it. I finally made one with soft sock yarn and doubled the yarn for the body for structure. Love it! It’s fun to do the lacework, quick, and adjustable to how you want it to fit for the body.
It’s so lovely to see all the different Ranunculus. It’s really amazing the different ways to make it. I’ve only made one, but I’ve definitely considered making more (if my queue wasn’t already so long! 😂)
I love your podcasts and look forward to each one! I was so pleased to see this one as I'm about to embark on my first tanuculous sweater. You were so helpful as I have had many questions before embarking on this project. Thank you for all of this pertinent information ❤
Thank you for sharing the variations. I have a love hate relationship with my ranunculus. I like the length but not necessarily the drap. Yarn is silk and linen.
That would be very drapey for sure!
Thanks so much sharing all your ranunculus hopefully I will complete the one I made last year but I goofed and forgot to switch needles back after ribbing on bottom so it fit amazing on my daughter except for arms. You have inspired me to try to fix it and plan on making more. Going to see if anyone knit in DK
I've been inspired ! 😊
Such a lovely sweater! My fave is your dark pink one! Gorgeous!!! 🎉🎈🥳🎉🎈🥳🎉🎈🥳🎉🎈🥳 Congratulations on 100 episodes, Selma! 🎉🎈🥳🎉🎈🥳🎉🎈🥳🎉🎈🥳
I am so excited! Stopped off to congratulate you dear Selma on 100 Episodes….!!! 👏👏👏💐💐🥂🍾Now on to the rest of the podcast!😅❤❤❤
Congratulations with episode 100, Selma. I suppose I have seen them all and I enjoy your podcast very much. Greetings from The Netherlands. Mia
Selma, Thank you so much for this episode! I have only knit one Ranunculus, but you have inspired me to get going on another one. I love your choice of the pale colors.
You are so welcome! 🤗
Absolutely beautiful sweaters! I’m going to have to try knitting one. I have this beautiful dark olive green yarn that I’ve been wanting to make a sweater with, but couldn’t decide on a pattern. Now I know which pattern I want! Can’t wait to get started.
I have been wanting to make a Ranunculus so this was a great time to see this! I love the silvery grey one and that is what color I think I will look for! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I loved this pattern from the first time I saw it. It is so feminine looking! I plan to start it soon.
Thanks for a fascinating deep dive into your Ranunculi makes. I found it interesting to see how the different yarns, textures and gauges make a difference. I'm one of the few to try still (always late to the party, by design😉) but have had the pattern for a couple of years.Getting closer. Never thought of it as a "palate cleaner",however. Go well in your days.🙏🌏🐨❤xx
Congratulations on your hundredth episode! I have enjoyed your podcast so much and hope you will continue. The Ranunculus is a great project because it’s so adaptable and a quick knit. Now I have to finish my first one, LOL!:)
Beautiful sweaters !
Thank you! 😊
Hi Selma, thank you for doing this parade of Ranunculi! It inspired me to get out the one I made a few years ago inspired by the one you made out of Berroco Remix Light in the Birch color. I don’t know why I don’t wear it more because it fits very well and is flattering and so comfortable and soft in the Remix. Now I want to make another one in this yarn in a different color.
Great episode Selma, thank you. I agree with your sleeve choice for your current ranunculus, i-cord looks great 😊 Off the cast on another ranunculus 😂
Fantastic podcast, on my favourite pattern. Always a joy to watch you, congrats on 100 th episode 😊
I actually like the pink fitted top on you the best, color and fit without the blouse, I like the green wooly one as that is my color, and creme is very nice also
Fun episode! I loved seeing your Ranunculi. In fact, you inspired me last year to make a red one, which I am looking forward to wearing this Christmas.
Happy 100th Episode. I wanted to thank you for this Ranunculus comparison. I really want to make one but nothing like the original gauzy version. That is not something I would wear which is why I never considered making one. But, with so many versions, I am now ready. I will prefer to make, like your dark green rustic one. I’m so grateful for all your thoughts and what you did and how it turned out. I know my first run of it will be trial and error but I’m looking forward to it. Thank you.
Congratulations on 100!!
Thank you!! 😊
I so enjoyed this video!! I am working on my 5th ranunculus and you have renewed my love for this pattern! I have a desire to make a nice wintry version!
🥳🥂 Congratulations on the 100th episodes. I hope many more!!
Me too!!
All the sweaters are beautiful but the last one looks beautiful on you. The colour suits you very well. (The others too but this one is my favourite).
What fun! Thank you Selma. ❤
Thanks so much for this episode Selma. I have had the yarn for my (first) Ranunculus for a year now but been busy with shawls and scarves - just finished the Party Line (again, thank you). I’m half way through a Close to You scarf then I want to do Joji Locatelli’s Venezia as I have a gorgeous merino/silk 2 ply for that which I have just balled up. I have 3 or 4 other cardigans on my wish list (yes, I have the yarn!) but maybe Ranunculus will now rise to the top?? Your podcasts are so inspiring, please keep them coming. 🧶👏❤️
Thank you for showing @darkharbouryarns Ranunculus. She has such a great aesthetic and I love her yarn colours :) Hello from New Zealand.
Thank you for this!! I still have not made one because it looks so oversized…..but of course it doesn’t have to be!!! Thank you for inspiring me!! & congratulations on your 100th episode!!!
Congratulations on episode 100 😊👍 This wa a very lovely and useful presentation of all your Ranunculus’es, What a treasure. They do look good on you 😊
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for sharing! Congratulations on your 100th episode. I am inspired to try knitting a Ranuculus sweater in Tynn Line and mohair held together. I knitted one in Drops Air last winter and love it. I’m a fairly new garment knitter. I love your podcasts.
Fabulous...I've wanted one of these for a long while. Very nice show.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love all the versions of your ranunculus! I have made three and will probably make more.
Wonderful!
I enjoyed this episode enormously! 💖 Thank you so much for taking us on a tour through all the Ranunculus sweaters you have knit. Such fun & lots of inspiration. I’ve been craving a black one now for quite some time. I think now I might just have to have to have to make it! 😂 This was a great episode, Selma!
@@KnitMyWayHome so glad you enjoyed it my dear!! 😘😘
I loved this Ranunculus exploration!! I found this very exciting and informative. I have yarn for 2 Ranunculus’ and have yet to cast on for my first one. I do not know why or what is holding me back…
Thank you so much for the episode! ❤ I have a knitting podcast (in Finnish, called Neulealmat) with a friend of mine and our next episode is going to be all about the Ranunculus. The two of us have made over 20 of them. So it is a highly addictive pattern!
Loved your most recent podcast. Having not made this yet… your discussions about each project has me considering it in the near future.
I made mine in a bulky yarn (which was not a recommended yarn at that time) but it's my favorite winter sweater.
That’s what I’m thinking!!
