- hi there! join me (and my cat, lilla) for a cosy chat about my trip to nyc & boston ✨ i visited 4 yarn stores in total: knitty city, west village knit and needle, downtown yarns, & the boston fiber company
•
if the footage i made while traveling looks a bit off, that's because it kind of is.
i got very shy filming things in public... i hope to get more confident and learn to make fulll-on vlogs in the future, though
•
i named this channel candidknit because candid is exactly what i want it to be: not too polished, honest and, just like me, at times a teeny bit chaotic!

I love that you visited my hometown Concord! When you said that I was shook lol
hahahah that's so awesome! i couldn't believe how lovely everything was there 🥰
Damn that match with mohair and buttons!! You have to use them together 🥹
i know right!!! i'm going to stress out so much about finding a good match for my agnete cardigan now though hahah
If you can’t find anything else and you really want to use that yarn for socks, you can look up reinforcement thread and see if you can match the color and hold that for the heel/toes/sensitive areas!! Love all the colors of yarn you chose :)
thanks madison! i've been looking into that, but i feel like i might just make it easier for myself and go ahead and knit a cute little camisole or something 🥰 there's more than enough (other) sock yarns with nylon to use in the future i suppose ✨
This is a Spanish wool shop that sells Noro but the online presence is in German. I don’t know why. I ordered some scissors and they came. 😅
If you need more Noro. I really like the chestnut sweater by PetitKnit.
thanks!!
I love all of the yarns you found, they're so pretty ! Lilla is gorgeous, I'm glad she's ok now :)
thank you for the very kind comment 🥹 my partner and i are both very glad she's doing better as well 🥰
Beautiful, calm video as always! Really enjoyed watching
thanks for the sweet comment! very glad you enjoyed it 🤍
I wouldn't use Malabrigo Sock for socks actually. They wont last much :( I would rather go for Ultimate Sock.
And with your skein maybe some nic hat or something?
thanks for your comment! that's exactly what i was thinking! i might even be able to squeeze a 9pm tank out of it 👀
