37:20 Final thoughts/wrapping up
You have done exceptionally well with what you have achieved in only one year!! Your colour work is gorgeous. When you have mastered the fitting there will be no stopping you. Well done for not being put off or too disappointed when is hasn’t worked out first time, I’ve just subscribed and will be following to see what you make next. Onwards and upwards. I am 56 and have knitted for years, and always knitted flat, I’ve just made my first top down sweater, (the Ranunculus) and I love it, shame it’s taken me this long to try it . Never mind, ❤️x
Thank you so much!
Excellent job on your first year of Knitting! I did the same thing. I jumped in with both feet and knit a ton of things that were too small or too big or the wrong yarn or something. It’s just part of learning. Don’t give up!
Thank you! Haha, yes, it's in the mistakes the real learning happens! :')
I won't!
Trying to learn knitting after crocheting for many years. A bit challenged so far, seeing your journey was very inspiring
I completely agree! I’ve been crocheting for years, trying knitting this year ❤ watching videos like this is super inspiring!
Me too! Crocheting seems so much easier 🥲
You can totally do it!
I haven't been knitting that long either. So glad I found you
You've knit so much in just a year. Mistakes are great learning opportunities. I too love the Fabel patterns and have made a few but what I have learned is that most designers make patters to suit their body types, which is fine. It just means that we often need to make adjustments to suit our own bodies. I found most of the Fabel patterns too short as well and a few other little things but making the same pattern a few times helps to get it right. Swatching is also your friend. It can be annoying but helps you learn so much before you get too into your knitting.
I enjoyed watching your peaceful and real podcast.
Hello Frøydis! Your channel just appeared on my feed and I went tou your first video, wow, I am impressed with your first year of knitting! I do think that gauge and fitting are not that straightforward to always get right, it's challenging and a learning curve, at least for me it is always THE issue, especially because I tend to use different yarns than the ones recommended on patterns, different gauges, and I don't always like the ease that is in the pattern 😊 that means a lot of math and tweaking and winging it and frogging again and again! Also I do see that even when I am meticulous with my gauge swatches they are not always "true" so that is tricky! I love your choice of patterns, colours and yarns, Really love Fabel knitwear, Helene's patterns are so nice and I agree I also would like to knit most of them, but have not started yet! Really love the diagon alley jumper in that same color, so pretty. The stonewood is beatiful! Did not try my hand at colorwork yet because I still did not find the right design but that looks gorgeous! Happy wishes from Italy. Barbara 💚🧶🌺🌸
Really appreciate hearing how you go about things! 😊 It's very relatable. You certainly learn a lot when tweaking! I hope you find the ideal colorwork to start with! The Stonewood is great because you get a lot of progress really fast, and the pattern doesn't have very long floats to wrangle. 😅
I totally love all your knitting and amazed and a little jealous of the quantity & quality. Your cat is a real sweetheart too.
So my first year was a very steep learning curve too. Then I thought I'd wise up, so here are things I learnt in 2022 (my second year): write down all my measurements in my knitting note book, including arm length (I too had a problem with short sleeves long arms!). Check work frequently against these measurements. Laying work along the rounded arms of the sofa meant I got a more accurate measurement. Learnt the Portuguese method of knitting, now not only are purl rows the same as knit rows, but I knit a lot faster. Make gauge swatches a good size to show my real knitting gauge. Wet & dry flat the swatch to see what happens to size when washed (I did a merino jumper without checking this and I could wear it a a huge long dress). After frogging, soak wool in warm water & hang skein up to dry with a light weight in the bottom to stop the strands curling (I used a small torch I have). Lastly, soak & dry flat to shape, all the finished knitted pieces before sewing together (it's called blocking). I hope some of my little solutions may also help you in your second year. Good Luck
Wow, what a great list! I definitely need to make that list of measurement for my knitting notebook. Using a rounded sofa arm would never have occured to me. The swatching..! Yes, big swatches are way more useful. I've been taking shortcuts there! I should also treat my frogged yarn better before knitting it up again. Now I gotta go look up Portugese knitting! :-)
You have done amazingly for your first year. I'm sure your guage will improve, don't worry you will get it!! I love your Arboreal it's been on my list of makes for ages and you have inspired me to get it done. Looking forward to more podcasts. 😊
Oh, that's wonderful! The Arboreal is such a good pattern! Thank you :-)
Unbelievable amount of beautiful knitting! So happy you’ve found a new passion!
This was so enjoyable and you are just lovely
To lengthen arms without frogging, cut the cuff off ,the arms wont unravel :) pick up and knitn new stitches from where seems sensible. It leaves a line so begin the ribbing and you wont see it at all. That said, with that yarn being variagated, iyou might not see a line and so it might be ok to knit some stockinette before ribbing.
This sounds so scary! 😅 But I agree, this would be the smart solution. Thank you for suggesting it!
Congratulation you have done very well,
you have given me so much hope as i'm a new knitter too,
haven't done any thing yet, just been practicing my stitches before buying good wool.
regards Australia.
Thank you!
Good luck on your knitting journey! Sounds like you've got this under control! :-D
I just watched your first video this morning. I started knitting 45 years ago - self taught from a book. I love your style and especially enjoyed your sense of humour. I still knit passionately and am happy to report that progress has been made🥲. This year I set myself goals for new skills to be mastered and amongst the challenges find great joy in progress even after all these years- and too many disasters to count! Keep knitting and please keep sharing. You are destined to be a very competent knitter.
Thank you for the wonderful encouragement! I often think about how easy it is nowadays to learn (almost) anything, thanks to CZcams. Learning to knit from a book sounds so incredibly challenging! I admire your dedication and ability to keep going, passion is a powerful thing!
The pixie hat looks really good on you. Could you adjust the drops cowl and make it into a skirt? Or felt. It and turn it into a bag, add some colour / embroidery.
I hadn't considered that! Transforming it through felting could certainly be an option for neglected garments. Will have to think about this!
So many thing your first year. I have been scared to try a sweater but im getting the novice pattern today! Thank you
That's amazing! :D
I've been thinking about making a lot of these patterns so it's great to see how your finished objects look. All the best with your knitting in 2023!
I'm so glad it was helpful for you! All the best to yours as well! :-)
You're so funny and cute! Made me laugh more than once :') This was very inspiring. It's impressive how fast you got good at knitting and how many things you've made! I'm usually a crocheter, not a knitter, but I need many of these garments in my life so I have to get better at knitting now 😅
Appreciate this so much! ☺
Nothing motivates like seeing something you want! I think crocheting is magic btw! 😅
Hello from British Columbia Canada! I love everything you have knitted. It is exactly the style I like as well. I can't wait to try some of these patterns. Take care!
I'm happy it appealed to you! Have fun exploring these patterns :-)
I just started knitting (again) and this video is really helpful to just keep going on! 😊 Also I am amaaazed how much you knitted in just one year?! Very curious for the rest of the video!
That's so wonderful! 🙌 Yeah, I was a bit surprised too at how much it added up to. I haven't done much else apparently! 😅
Tusind tak for at du deler din strikke erfaring. Det er SÅ vildt, hvad du har produceret og lært på bare et år. Mega respekt og kæmpe motivation for nye ( og gamle) strikkere. Og så kunne jeg tænke mig at se dig i flere farver, for du kan bære det - den gyldne er amazing til dig. Glæder mig til at følge dig i 2023. All we knit is love!
Tusen takk for hyggelig tilbakemelding!
This my first time seeing your channel! You did some beautiful work here! I love to see what people are knitting, and how they like their knits to fit! Gauge is always something I have to think about with EVERY garment, despite being a knitter since 2005! And yes, needles DO make difference don’t they? PS, love your cat! Is he/she a Norwegian forest Cat? Beautiful! ClaudiaSJI
Thank you! Gauge is such a pain sometimes. :')
I couldn't help but include him, hehe! He's a "regular house cat", a former stray I adopted from a local shelter. :-)
@@disircraft he is S Ooo big I was sure he was Norwegian forest 🐈! What a dear dear cat he is! ClaudiaSJI
Wow!!!
Hei. Synes det er så gøy å se alle de fine strikkeprosjektene dine😻 og btw jeg og elsker fabelknitwear og er nå på mitt 4 flagg fra boken hennes😻😻
Det er veldig hyggelig å høre! 😀
Så gøy! ☺Man blir jo helt hekta. Den boka var en kjempestor motivator for meg!
Så flink du har blitt! 😍 Og jeg er så stolt av deg for å ha begitt deg ut på dette eventyret! Elsker avbrytelsene fra Findus 😂
Tusen takk! Du har nok hatt en viss positiv innflytelse her. 😊
Findus må jo være med på alt, hehe 💚
@@disircraft Ååh, så koselig å høre 🥰
When I wash my hands knit I fold it and put it in a pillow case and it holds it in place while squeezing water out and leave in pillow case for spinning.
I'll keep that in mind!
You are very impressive and very inspiring!
Thank you so much! :-)
Wow, du har både lært og produsert helt utrolig mye på et år. Og skikkelig flott arbeid, du strikker jo ganske avanserte ting allerede!
Du tilpasser til din kropp og dine preferanser, og klarer å fikse ting som ikke ble som du ville. Da kan du lage hva som helst!
Og ikke minst; du har allerede lært at det uttales "geidsj". Jeg hadde strikket i over 20 år før jeg lærte at det ikke er "gåsj". Lol.
Superimponert!
Tusen takk! 💚Nå ble jeg litt gira på å fullføre noe som ligger og venter på meg her. ☺Jeg hadde definitivt også sagt gåsj hadde det ikke vært for strikkeyoutube!
Im curious about the novice sweater. Did you think it was true to size? What size did you choose?
I went with the XS, which gives me about 5-6 cm of positive ease. I could have chosen the S, but I didn't want quite that much ease. I don't know how to judge if something is true to size or not, but I think so! The measurements given in the pattern are accurate as far as I can tell. I decide on size by the measurements of the actual garment as well as the recommended size based on body measurements. 🙂
Så mange strikkeprosjekter, og så mange erfaringer. Du har fått til mye! Hva føler du rundt læringsprosessen din? Har den vært god?
Takk! Ja, den har vært god! Læringskurven har vært passe bratt stort sett hele veien. Alle prosjektene har gjort meg litt smartere og gitt meg mestringsfølelse på hver sine måter, og det gir god motivasjon til å fortsette! 😊
@@disircraft Så bra! Stå på, det er veldig inspirerende å se hva du får til. Tusen takk for at du deler denne videoen også, det var veldig kult. 😊
You really have knitted alot of beautiful items. Why are you using the washing machine after you put your time into knitting? Are you blocking them?
Thank you! There's really no problem using a washing machine on non-superwash wool, provided it has a decent wool cycle (which is not necessarily the same as a delicate cycle). :-)
I like to wash my knits because by the time I'm done with them, they are full of cat hair, dust and sunscreen. Many types of wool can also benefit from a wash! It makes them softer and fluff up. Generally speaking, if it's an everyday object that I can't wash in the machine, I probably don't want it anyway. :')
Better lighting would be nice
