The Sevilla blouse is probably pronounced sev-ee-ya like the city in Spain. It's actually my maiden name too so I definitely have to knit one!
Thank you for the clarification!
Not surprising we (collectively) don’t know how to pronounce “lineceae” , since so few people speak Latin these days! Best 2 choices would probably be “lih-NAY-see-eye” or “lih-NAY-see-ay”, choosing either long i or long a for the “ae” ending. It won’t actually matter unless you encounter a botanist…😅. Thanks for sharing your thought process on matching yarns to patterns!
Instantly saved the Lyra tee to my favorites. So gorgeous!
I’m really digging the summer tops from Mochi Knits.
I’m jealous (in a good way) that you got some of the beautiful Strawberry Fields early. I can’t wait for my order. Who cares that I have yarn for 10 sweaters at home.
O Amy. I love that Sevilla Blouse. I will be on the lookout for it too. ❤
If the Maggie sweater is like the poppy tee, road to china light worked well for me. It’s very luxurious.
I'm knitting silk merino socks. I already made one pair and... it is so great to wear! Not the strongest of yarns so will not be boring :) Probably silk merino could be also very good for tops which one can wear as the only top in summer and the first layer in winter. I'm planning to knit a big black sweater soon. It is very dark where I live in winter so it is easier to make dark items in summer.
I saw your Chrysler top on Instagram. It's beautiful!
Congratulations with the new house, its exciting 🎉
Thank you!
I have more projects than usual on my needles this summer, as a kind of treat! The annual Ankers summer blouse, a chunky test knit (in a mens L 😰) and the Maj sweater which I’ve wanted to knit for ages! Knitting the Maj sweater in Rauma Fivel, which I’ve also wanted to try forever, and it’s so soft for a norwegian wool! Kinda skipped the traditional summer knitting this year, as I wanted to have som pieces ready for fall.
I just discovered the Sunshine Tee by Andrea Gaughan and it is just the loveliest simple t-shirt pattern! I don't have yarn for it this year but it's definitely going on my list for next summer
Always love your POV and how you present patterns and possibilities! Cheers
Thanks for sharing , can’t wait to see what you go with, the top you are wearing is stunning 😍🧶🧶x
I love all of those patterns! I am currently knitting the cumulus o neck tee I started knitting it with a single strand of tynn line but just wasn’t loving the fabric it was creating so I remembered I had some lace weight silk/alpaca/cashmere in the same color so I decided to hold it together with the line and I love it now! My gauge didn’t change much at all when I added the lace weight but it just filled in the stitches so nicely and the drape is amazing I’m hoping to wear it to work when we go back to school in the fall so I wanted something with a bit more coverage Can’t wait to see what you make next!
I really like the Maggie Cardigan, Linaceae, and Pillars of SimpliciTee. I plan on knitting the Gullane tank by Ysolda Teague this summer. 🧶
I think I need to knit the Maggie cardigan, I have never knit a cardigan so it may be an undertaking! I’m knitting a novice slip over jr (petiteknit) right now for my nephew ☺️
Another great content , I like your energy and objective comments
You might like Helle sweater by Blomstrikk/Hip knit shop too, since it is somewhat similar to the KFO one with the triangle shaped lace pattern 😊
I would also really like to combine Isager trio with some other yarn, maybe KFO silk or Holst Garn Coast. But a worsted weight summer garment sounds a bit thick.
I think cashmere is not a summer fiber 😁 I have undedstood that it pills a lot since it is so soft, there is a special wool comb for taking care of your cashmere garments. I think Maggie cardigan would work in a merinosilk blend yarn too, maybe even in Onion Nettle+wool which is a bit shiny but woolly.
That Madeleine sweater is absolutely stunning!!!
The Madeline sweater is gorgeous! I just knit myself a gushy garter tank by park&knit and I’m so happy with how it turned out.
love your choice! I finished my Thee No. 1 at the same time as you. Currently knitting Desert Bloom Top by Rachel Kurihara
Hi Amy! Awesome to see a new video from you! I hope your renovation/ move is going well. I’m moving at the moment too, after finally completing my renovation project.
I’m still in love with sock knitting, thanks to Kay Litton and her Summer Sock Camp. Currently working on a pair of 3 x 1 ribbed socks and I’m obsessed! :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I´m so surprised how expensive the Cardiff cashmere and the silk 8 is in the US, it's nearly double to the EU. So if you have somebody traveling to Europe let them shop for you here.
I love all of your list! Some of those are on my list, too.
Currently on my needles is the Sorbet top from Vogue Knitting S/S 2023. I am making it with SANDES GARN Line in light blue. I can’t wait to wear this one. 😎
OOO So many beautiful patterns. ❤
You have inspired me to do the Cardi. I just think it will be really useful.
Hey Amy! I'm currently knitting the newly released Lima Top by Pernille Larson in Knitting For Olive Pure Silk and am loving it so far! So excited for my first time knitting with silk yarn and can't wait to wear the finished tank on my trip to the beach soon!
I am currently waiting for an order of svarta fårets Cecilia yarn to cast on the Sabai top no 2 by Paula strickt! It will be my first ever summer knit🫣
I really like your plans. I actually started the Lyra Tee myself, I'm doing it with merino/cashmere yarn and it's going to be wonderful! I love it already :)
I ordered the same Sewrella yarn for the StarCrossed knits Ophelia blouse and I’m glad I saw this video because the actual color here looks way more hot bubblegum pink than what their pictures portrayed online and it would be more disappointing having anticipated it longer…
Just ordered yarn for Sevilla Blouse 😂 great yarn for Florida, can’t wait for pattern to come out🤗
Currently doing a test knit with Trio 2 and will say, definitely wood needles and it shrinks length wise and "fluffs" up quite nicely when wet blocked :)
I snagged one of the mini mock neck tank kits from Sewrella. That 50/50 merino/silk base caught my eye! I knit a mini mock neck tank last year using a 65% SW Merino 15% Yak 20% Silk base and I wear it all the time. Its great year round! Excited to have a second one in my wardrobe!
Sevilla blouse looks so much like the babaa cotton sweaters to me and I am so excited to hack them!
I just finished knitting the Kiteborne Tank by Shena Tschofen, and I am so tempted to make another one! Such a nice summer knit, and it went by really quickly while still being fairly engaging. I'm also quite eager to try the Tee of Dreams by Claire Jackson, we shall seeeeeee
Cardiff yarn is 16€ in Finland (tax included ), I am shocked it’s double priced in the US!
I'm making the Yoko top now! It's a super interesting and fun pattern so far. My yarn is all cotton so I'm hoping it doesn't stretch out too much
Congrats on the new house! Laine & Tricot has Cardiff Cashmere Classic for €11.67. I ordered some last month and it took 10 days to deliver to the US (I’m in Georgia). 😁
If you run out of yarn for the mock neck it would look cute with some contrast ribbing! Maybe a cream color?
So time,y and perfect for my knitting habits. I live on the NC coast and our summers go on forever and our winters are very mild. My wooly garments do not get as much wear as my summer knits.
Quince & Co makes a chainette style worsted weight linen yarn (Kestral) that is to die for. I've made two tops and a scrunchie out of it, and it's lovely.
Sounds like a really fun yarn!
Love your video as always ❤
.
Anyway, Congratulations for the new house🎉
Could you please make yarn organization/Yarn stash vlog while moving into your new house? Lol 😂🤞
Great idea!
Another awesome video! Love your insights. I am definitely also interested in the new petite knit sweater and those yarns !
What are your thoughts on the Rococo top by Sari Nordlund?
It looks like it's a rather wide raglan? I'd love to hear your take on the construction and lace.
I'm currently making a cozy classic light with tynn line❤
The Rococo Top looks like the same construction as the Kuutar top - a "circular yoke" style construction but in tank form. The lace is pretty! Lots of texture
Loved the video, thank you! Cardiff cashmere is a bit thicker than Lang, and I think they even have different metrage. I also heard that Lang is a bit less soft and behaves weird (uneven) in certain colors, so if you go for cashmere, my opinion is that cardiff is better
Thanks for the tips!
My daughter (19) requested that I knit her the Mini Mock Neck Tank. As a long time knitter who has never successfully knit any sweaters, tops, or wearable clothing. I'm a little nervous. I did several guage swatches and even did a swatch in the round. I started the pattern, but have already hit a snag. Hopefully someone in my knitting group can help me out.
Knitting is like music, instrument playing, requires long constant practice. I would advise for a beginner to use hairy or boucle yarn. Several years ago I made a boucle cotton silk top of the simplest design, two rectangles, using the cheapest needles I don't use any more. I still wear it very happily.
Congrats on the house and good luck with the renovations!
I'll be taking my first dive into intarsia with Mojave by Chloe Thurlow (a Rowan summer vest pattern)!
I also have some hand-dyed lightly variegated yarn ready for Mount Pleasant by Megan Nodecker (crop top) and linen yarn for Born on the Beach by Natalie Pelykh (summer dress).
This Maggie cardigan isn't good for big bust
Can we have just one episode without Sewrella? It’s starting to be tiresome, especially considering the cost and non-availability.
I live in a place where none of the yarns mentioned in any of the knitting podcasts are available to me, yet this doesn't bother me at all because I like seeing different colorways and how they look like in different projects. It broadens my fibre knowledge even if I know I won't be able to buy the same exact yarn.
Hi, thanks for the feedback! My 4 most recent videos prior to this video did not feature Sewrella. In this video I tried to suggest varying yarn brands for the different projects as I understand it is not the most accessible yarn for everyone.
I don't use animal fibers and I have no problem with watching knitters talk about wool. I know I can substitute their recommendations to fit within my own preferences. I just get a lot of joy out of watching people who are passionate about my favorite hobby get excited and show their creativity blossom when taking about the different yarns they have or plan to work with that light them up. Do you need help with yarn substitution recommendations?
@@velvetplans5396 no- I just get sick of the shilling. It’s tiresome to hear that every yarn is ‘gifted’ and I am being sold to or influenced when knitting is my time away from all that crap in the world.
