Your experience in sewing clearly has given you the perspective to get your patterns to fit well. I can’t wait to see if you turn the wrap into a pattern.
Darts? For bust shaping? I love the square neck. The cable cardi and jumper are gorgeous. Have a fantastic trip!!😊 ooh, i forgot to add, the last cardi is to die for. Beautiful for spring. I love this!!!
Yes! I think that's the word I was hunting for.
Ooooooh...maybe that waistcoat will be my first colorwork. Sounds tempting. Always love seeing your beautiful projects. Safe travels!
It would be a good first colourwork project! There are a few other trickier techniques (seaming for example), but the colourwork itself is super straightforward and not very big
once again glimpsing inside your process (particularly in the wrap garment) is a treat. You look amazing in the orangy/red cable Lauder. Cannot wait to purchase the pattern. Have a lovely trip down under and congratulations to the bride!!
Yes, the Laine Mag jumper! I spied it when the grocery girls were reviewing the mag! Well done Rebecca! You are a star!
This is my first time watching your podcast. You have made even more grateful for knitwear designers like yourself, not only for your fabulous ideas but your infinite patience in knitting things again and again! I can’t do the maths necessary to design patterns but also there is no way I’d want to knit something several times, so a great big thank you from me for all your perseverance and hard work, which is necessary to bring your creative ideas to life. All you put in makes my hobby joyous for me! I’d love to test knit Sanna cardi as I definitely need one in my life! ❤
Aww thank you SO much! This is such a lovely comment.
That red looks so great on you! And I love the wrap top!
Rebecca, have a wonderful holiday! Love the wrap and the name should definitely be - “ that’s a wrap!” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Lace cardigan is GREAT!
I loved the Lauder cardigan and the wrap cardigan. The Sanna, however, took my breath away. So gorgeous! Can't wait to knit all of them. Safe travels.
Hi! Small thought…. As you finish books while traveling, leave them in fun places for others to find. This will leave room for new purchases 😉
This is so perfect but I'm a kindle reader! So unfortunately they have to come with me.
I love your hair and all the tolstas! Hope you have a lovely trip ✈️
Eee thank you!
Oh my goodness, that lace cardigan is everything! I cannot wait to knit it. The suspense! 😂
Your cable details on the Lauder are interesting and unusual!!! 🎉
Thanks for doing so many v-neck options Rebecca. I think it’s overall the most flattering on the most people, yet not many sweaters today have that style. Maybe by studying your options, I could learn how to modify scoop-necks etc to v-necks across the board. Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea to try. 😂😂😂
I've had such weird experiences in not finding V necks that I like that I shy away from knitting them! But maybe I need to be a bit more adventurous.
This is crazy! I’m on Martha’s Vineyard and you’re in Scotland and I know you have some black silk so keep looking!
HAHAHA I know I do too!? Where is it!
Good morning Rebecca, Have really enjoyed you sharing your latest Lauder Cardi and Pullover, so beautiful. I think I heard you say you knit it w/o cable needles. Its amazing you could do that and keep everything accurate. You are such a gifted knitter and I enjoy seeing what you come up with! I love traditional classic knits and you hit a grand slam out of the park with these!!!!!
Carrie from Northern San Francisco Bay Area 😘❤🐶🐑☕🧵🪡🧶
I did! I found it so much faster and very rhythmic without cable needles. And after 4 samples I feel like a cable expert.
I love the white lace jumper, it would so lovely with a floral skirt. I also think it would be nice with pearl buttons but I love pearls.😊 I would love a 3/4 sleeve because I'm older and I don't look good in short sleeve.😮 but love the blouse. ❤
Oh it would!! I was thinking shell ones because they're also a little bit shiny but pearls would also be lovely!
I am so, so happy to hear that there might be a full bust adjustment guideline in your new Tolsta patterns! Thank you for remembering about busty beings! ❤
29:50 funniest and most charming two words in the podcast: “I’m lazy”. 🥰😂. Hardly, dear Rebecca! I have a huge backlog of your designs in my queue and it is always wonderful to see what you are up to!
Wow! This podcast was jam packed! Love everything! Enjoy your trip! Looking forward to your future podcasts!
Wow, you have accomplished so much before your trip. Your finished objects are stunning. I’ve been watching the lace swatches and your sweater turned out incredible. I can’t wait to see the long sleeve version too. Amazing. And your Lauder cabled cardigan, sweater and vest is just incredible. You are tempting me sooo much with your patterns. Have a wonderful trip.
Holding my breath for the cables. Love, love, love your bright red cardigan version!
Another fab podcast. Loved all your finished items. Have a fab time away
oooh i'm so excited for the tolsta tank!! i always have such FOMO from all the beautiful sweaters I see people making that will never be wearable in my climate (australia) so it's great to see patterns for garments that i know i could wear for a few months of the year.
I have 3 Tolsta Tanks packed and ready to test in Australia's climate next week!
As a backup plan pack interchangeable WOOD needle tips. They are easily disguised as pencils. The only time I’ve had needles confiscated was in Mexico. But you never know.
Your v-neck cabled cardi is stunning! The red is a great color on you.
Your productivity is crazy! I am definitely a slow knitter, and I am fine with that, but I am always impressed with what you accomplish.
The neckline on your wrap is great to wear over a dress or top so that whatever you wear underneath peaks out there. It is so interesting to hear your thoughts as you develop your designs.
Have a wonderful trip. I hope your mom has a perfect wedding day.
Such a lovely interview - I love Lisa’s creativity and energy, and she makes such beautiful things 🩷💚
Have a wonderful trip see you soon xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the Lauder in all its variations. Can’t wait to cast on. Have a wonderful trip.
Wow! so many cables on all of your Lauder knits - they look fabulous! I'm excited for both the Tolsta tanks and the Sanaa cardi - can't wait to knit up those summer knits! Have an amazing trip!
I love your red cardigan, it looks fantastic on you! When I fly I always detach my needles from my cords and put them in my pencil case with pens It’s always worked well. Have a wonderful holiday! ❤✈️🏔️🧶
Optional bust darts!!! YES YES YES YES YES. (I'm a G cup)
Have a fabulous trip. You are a knitting machine! I’ve said before, your brain is 🤯 , such an incredible designer with so much more to come. Love the red cable sweater and the white lace cardi, actually love it all. Enjoy your trip, it will never epic - New Zealand 😱 it’s breathtaking, not that I’ve been 🤪. 🤗🥰🇨🇦
I just love your thought processes with your knitting and designing! So enjoyable to listen too! I also can relate to your plane packing plans...books, knitting, etc. My husband literally just shoves stuff in a carry-on last minute. I need easy knitting, more complicated knitting, a couple of good books! I hope you have a great trip!
The wrap top looks wonderful, and I'm very excited for the camisole/tanks pattern! Also very happy to hear about possible FBA instructions in your patterns; as a person with a 10" difference between upper chest and full chest, I think it would be incredibly helpful.
I just love that orange colour on you. It makes your beautiful skin just glow.
Enjoyed the wrap sweater critique. It reveals how you approach the design process. Have a wonderful trip.
I love your hair "au naturel"! I am so happy to hear that you are including darts on your pattern, I will keep an eye for the test call, I like the square neck version. Have a lovely trip!
Kia ora Rebecca, all your designs are awesome, how productive you are. Take some sort of pashmina on plane, multifunctional comfort, safe travels and don’t forget your project bags. Can’t wait to make the Lauder vest..
This lace cardigan is so reminiscent of the Capucine cardigan from Sezane. I liked it so much but wanted to try to knit something similar but wasn’t coming up with any good pattern options. I am so excited for this pattern!
I love Sezane knitwear! It wouldn't surprise me if that cardigan is on my inspiration board for the pattern.
I put bust darts in my Tolstas but they didn’t work very well. Possibly my yarn choice- I find drops Belle stretches like crazy. Always love to hear about your creativity!
Have a ton of fun on your trip and please make a pattern for the wrap cardi down the line!!
I love your enthusiasm when taking about your knitting.
Fabulous v neck cardigan. Enjoy NZ and Australia
Thank you!
Love all your projects. So well done on getting published in Laine magazine. Have a great trip. Reckon you’ll be okay on the flights with needles, particularly if you have projects already on them.
I just love your energy. Thanks and have a fabulous trip.
That vibrant orange is great on you!! Perfect for your Scottish weather!
I fully appreciate all the thought you are putting into the wrap cardigan. I really want one or two in my wardrobe but have yet, in my 61years, to find a wrap dress or blouse that fits correctly. I'm fairly small chested, and find that I always have too much fabric. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Your Lauder pattern is GORGEOUS. I can't wait until it's available!
If you get a chance visit Loopine yarn in Auckland it’s a beautiful shop.
Hope you enjoy our wonderful country it’s about 20 degrees here atm 😊
If you start doing at least a little inclusive sizing for bust shaping, you would be my hero! I am not huge, but given that I am a small person, the size I need is always too small. Calculating darts is always confusing so I usually just go for the larger size which creates other issues.
Happy travels! Its getting a little cooler down here in NZ, my son is in Christchurch at uni and it was 3 deg the other night! You'll have a wonderful time, i love the South Island in autumn, just stunning. We're in the North Island but try to visit often. Looking forward to your trsvel stories xx
West Coast South Island - not sweater weather yet! Long sleeve T shirt and a cardi for the evening will be fine. Layers are key here, you might regret heavy jumpers. On listening to the end, Fjordland is going to be nippy.
Have great trip can’t wait to release of lauder vest
It's finally live!
So much to love here!
We (my knitting posse & I) are excitedly awaiting the Lauder drop!
About your buttons on the red cardigan, have you tried adding a "support" button behind them?
I find they keep the 'fashion buttons' secure, don't droop like Granddad's jowls, and encourage them to stay - you know - buttoned. 'Cause popping open a button when you're reaching for a pint is wildly embarrassing.
When I sew on my buttons, I make a sandwich:
Bread: Flat boring button the same size or just a wee bit smaller than your fancy one (I like the frosted clear ones as they don't show through or make a shadow)
Meat: Button band of your cardigan - right side facing up
Bread: Fashion button
I sew through all 3 layers of the sandwich, and voilá ~ escape proof buttons.
If I'm using an 'unspun' yarn (Lopi anyone?) or a yarn that tends to break up with itself under tension (Fibre Co's Arranmore = yum!) I will hold a double strand of sewing thread (hand-quilting or button thread is 1st choice) along with the yarn I'm using for extra strength. Because, as Vivian said in Pretty Woman, "I'm a safety girl."
Have a wonderful trip, enjoy your family time, relax!
Best wishes to you Mom, and congratulations to your step-dad!
The tanks are perfect! I can’t wait for the pattern. I will throw my hat in for the test knit.
So many goodies!!! Congrats on your stunning creations ❤❤❤
❤ the new Sanna cardigan. Looks beautiful on you! Would be perfect at a wedding get-together too.
Love the fjords of NZ. Have an amazing trip!!
Ive just used stitch markers in between each repeat in the chart of my latest knit and it resolved all my issues. I will definitely do it again.
You are an incredible knitter/designer! Love your work, enjoy your trip!&
You are so inspireing,I love what you create❤❤❤
I love your designs and can’t wait for the release for both! I’ve got the tolsta tee on my list as well. Hoping to test knit that lacy cardigan- you are awesome!
That cardigan is perfect! Can't wait til is available!
The lauder looks amazing! I've yet to knit my first cable knit jumper. Maybe its time! 🙈😂
To get you in the mood for New Zealand, theres a band from there you might like called "The Beths". I saw them play glasgow last year. So so good.
Love your Sanna cardigan / top. Im also not very good at seaming so it would be good to try that three needle method you mentioned for joining.
I hate seaming too, 3 needle bind off every time.
First time watching your podcast and sooo enjoyed it! Your knits are beautiful:)
That lace cardigan is going to be a beautiful garment ❤
Always great to see your videos pop up! For the wrap cardi, it honestly looks like most of the fit problems come from the upper back being too wide (at least from a sewing perspective). My shoulders tend to be 1 to 2 pattern sizes smaller than the rest of me and that gaping neckline and wide shoulders is exactly what it looks like when I don’t grade between sizes. Hope this might help. Have a great trip!
YES! This is definitely the case. I can pinch out a good inch of fabric at the back neck so definitely too wide!
need yarn type and required yardage as can’t wait for your vest pattern. want to start as soon as you release pattern
I used the white drops daisy for a sweater and it’s pilled like crazy! (Debobble after every wear) Interesting that the other colours might be better
Very much no pressure but it would be amazing to have a size inclusive wrap sweater pattern that isn't a raglan!!! ❤
It’s a full bust adjustment or FBA in the garment sewing world.
Yes! I was thinking FBA but I don't know if it's the same term in knitting. i think just 'bust shaping' covers them all
Love theses FOs!! So if you were in Edinbough for one day and only had time to visit one yarn shop, which would it be? Asking for a friend .... ;)))
Ginger Twist!
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful trip! Happy knitting❤
If you haven’t already checked restrictions regarding knitting needles, I recommend that you do. I flew via Hong Kong to NZ and was not allowed to take needles on board or through security. I was so annoyed I must say. It maybe different via Dubai etc.
Can you do a list of all the different advents and when they’re coming out/which you have tried and which you would like to try?
I think Knitty Natty is doing this but I won't be.
The only advent I'm keeping my eyes peeled for is Hello Stella.
Darts! 😂
Yes! Doh. Silly me
I’d love to knit that lace cardigan in cotton. Pale pink otr blue . If you can wear wool in Queensland in April I’ll be very impressed. I wish I could wear wool .
Enjoy your trip
Your Sanna Top is so beautiful!
I can't imagine where the lazy label would fit you, I see you so much more and productive than lazy !!! Have a good trip !!!
Maybe I should say, "likes taking the easy option when available" instead
@@the.creabea I totally agree, and why not take the easy option ???
That lace cardi is super cute 🤍
By the way, have a wonderful trip and easy recovery from any jet lag!
Thank you, Rebecca for thinking of us busty girls! I hate garments that hang from my boobs, making me look three times larger than my actual size and having ppl ask me if I'm pregnant lol. Atm, if I'm knitting a sweater with the body mostly in st st, I make rapid decreases in one row as I hit underbust lenght. Would be great to have a professional solution to that. In the latest Rowen magazine, Edition 3, they used a busty model which is fantastic. You can see in those photos how the garments that's more fitted under the bust looks fantastic on her, while other shapes make her look much bigger than she actually is.
maybe an icord edge for the second sample of the wrap? it ususally has some extra stability
Wow! You have been very busy. Joy your time away.
Will you come back with an additional suite case full of New Zealand yarn ?
Hi Rebecca, Where are you going to be in NZ? Are you planning to come visit any knitting groups?
Is there anyway I can modify the Lauder into a non-drop shoulder? Both my daughter and I don't do well with drop shoulders, having heavy arms it makes them look even heavier. I love your orange and grey ones!
The vest is non-drop, and there's some sleeve shaping instructions in the sweater and cardigan. My suggestion would be to knit the vest for the body, and then do the sleeve short rows with fewer stitches in between (only 1 or 2 between turns) to create the sleeve cap.
Thank you for another inspiring video ! I will be travelling( with Turkish airline and Malaysian airlines) next month and have understood that I won't be able to knit on the flight - absolutely gutted ... which company are you flying with ?
I'm with Quatar, I've NEVER had issues with my needles when flying. I've once had someone ask if they were knitting needles but no other issues. I'll be packing wooden needles to be careful and keeping the metal ones in my carry on.
Have a brilliant time 😊
Would you be willing to go back and make the same large bust adjustments for the tolsta tee?
Hurrah for Tolsta 4 ply ❤
Woooohoo
Have a great hol well deserved
Wool warehouse has a cotton sale 🤔
laine is French for wool and pronounced lan🙂
The magazine is Finnish and Laine means "Wave" in Finnish. It's pronounced "Lei-ne"
