    Thanks for another great video! I love all your bright colours. If you do end up ripping back your stick season just think that you'll get to enjoy knitting with that gorgeous yarn for even longer!

    • @SmashKnits

      Thank you so much! I didn’t think about it like that! ☺️

    Ash! You’re so sweet! I’ve really loved our interactions over the past few months ☺️ and what you said about admiring each other’s styles which are so different from our own is so true. I’m so glad you’re a part of this community and we’re online friends!
    If I were you, I would block the stick season sweater while you’re working on it to see how much it grows. It’s annoying to block mid-project but it’ll help you make a final decision. You can put your stitches on hold on a rubber cord or finish the one sleeve then see what you think after a block. Or steam it if that’s accessible to you! It’s such a gamble with super wash on how much it’ll grow on a larger surface area compared to your swatch. Good luck on it! It’s so pretty and you should definitely do what will make the best end product even though that may mean going back to something you thought was done 😂 and I’m telling you to do this while eyeing the pile of finished knits I need to go back to at some point and fix

    • @SS_S.
      @SS_S. Před 3 měsíci

      I came to suggest this as well: block it now. I don't even take out my needles (metal - wouldn't block on wood), just soak it for 30 minutes as-is, lay flat to dry, and try it on.
      It will give you a definite answer on how much it will grow, and if you still decide to add more length you'll be able to measure exactly how many rows you need.

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Yay! Online friends hahaha
      Mid project block might be the way to go! It might be my lifesaver if I don’t have to rip it back!

    Oh Ashley, if one morning you wake up and find no more yarn or knitted items in your house, you have been robbed....by ME!!!! Love love love all your bright colours and your fun, relaxed attitude. Look forward to next episode already! xxx

    @star_athena Před 3 měsíci

    Glad I found your channel! I love your sense of color! Also… I’ve never regretted ripping back to make something better. I do have things I never wear because they don’t fit right. You know what you have to do. 😂❤❤❤

    • @SmashKnits

    I’d heard before that chartreuse is a magic colour that will just pair well with anything and everything, but I’d never seen so many good examples of how it looks. Thanks for sharing all this beautiful combos!

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I’ve never been so in love with a colour! I really appreciate you appreciating my colour combos! It’s so fun to experiment!

    gotta say i loooooove spun right round's tough sock base. i'm sure there are lots of other indie dyers that use the same base, but their yarn was the first i encountered. i have a pair of shortie socks knit up with it and it's just perfect. definitely planning to make a ton more in the future as the tough sock name seems to be holding true

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Their colourways just touch my soul like no other! I’m so lucky to have a yarn store near me that stocks them!

    It took me 15 minutes before I spotted the loaf in the background! There is a new star of the podcast I must say.

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Bagel loves to loaf! I'm surprised she stayed loafing so long with the bright lights but maybe she felt right at home in the spotlight! 😂

  • @kezmez1464
    @kezmez1464 Před 3 měsíci

    love all the colourful knits! im making a lento out of flat feet.
    i would add the collar and second sleeve then block your stick seasons before doing to much to the body, will give you a true indication of how much it grows and sits with the weight of collar and sleeves.

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you! A Lento would be stunning in Flat Feet!!
      I reckon that’s what I’m going to end up doing!

    Great to see your progress, and the finished hat! Don’t be afraid to rip back, you will love the project even more when you put in more effort. I was actually ripping out some ribbing while watching you discuss it 😂Was hoping to see the wool museum footage , but now something to look forward to in the next video 😊

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks Marita!! What were you ripping back?? 😮 and don't worry I will have plenty of Wool Museum footage in my next video! 😉

  • @lavendercottagefibrearts
    @lavendercottagefibrearts Před 3 měsíci

    You have now convinced me to get the sock project book! My SIL works at readings and their pre-order is arriving in early May so hopefully I will get it soon. Love your grey/hot pink combo!

    • @SmashKnits

      Thank you! That makes me so happy!! The more people have it the more wonderful socks I get to see!! 💕

    Hi Ash. Love the podcast. If you check out Summer Lee's sock patterns on Ravelry there's one that's slip stitch texture and designed for one yarn. Called Seasons socks.

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Thanks for the tip! I checked it out and it’s almost like broken rib stitch which I LOVE!

    You are better than me with the sock that dosent fit😂😂 I did my first colorwork sock, it didn’t fit, rippped it out and haven’t touched it in months 🤦🏻‍♀️… on the sweater, you could block it, see how it fits, and add more after and reblock it if you need 😊

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Trust me for every finished socked there are about 3 unfinished ones! 😂 I think that’s what I’ll end up doing! Thanks!

      It's just the best! Trying so hard not to incorporate into every sock project haha 😅

  • @gabriella3414
    @gabriella3414 Před 3 měsíci

    Have you thought about doing a mid project block on your stick season sweater while you are waiting for your new needles? That should give you a good idea of what will happen when you do your finished object block.

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      Yes! Hoping to block it soon!

  • @QueensYarnBoutique
    @QueensYarnBoutique Před 3 měsíci

    I love the bright color palette of your knits.

  • @emmabacon3465
    @emmabacon3465 Před 3 měsíci

    You could block the jumper now to see what happens? I've had superwash add an extra 10cm or more!

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci

      I needed to hear this! Thanks!

  • @luliknits
    @luliknits Před 3 měsíci +1

    Don't rip the sweater back. Maybe you could block it and see if the yarn stretches like you wanted, try it on and then decide whether or not you need to add lenghth.

    • @SmashKnits
      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I like that idea because there’s no frogging involved! Thanks!

  • @NicoleKnits77
    @NicoleKnits77 Před 3 měsíci

    Why don’t you block the sweater first, before ripping back the ribbing? It might save you a ton of time in the end … plus you will know the growth rate of the yarn 😊

  • @Jennie8684
    @Jennie8684 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I think you’ll be disappointed if you don’t add length to your Stick Seasons sweater.

      @SmashKnits  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I think you're 100% right!!
