I cracked up!! I absolutely tried to knit my first pair of socks straight from the skein. You are not alone!!!

Delightful! This makes me want to re knit a sweater I made my daughter 25 years ago. Now that I know about gauge.....

The vest is definitely the most incredible piece! So much fun

Haha thank you for agreeing with me and not my husband 😂

"Don't sweat the small stuff" is a perfect motto! I am learning how to enjoy the process of creating rather than claiming victory for perfection 🥰. I love your slant-up sleeves jumper for the visual example of your improvised creativity. I think the best beginnings are from people who aren't afraid of 'mistakes '. In fact, sometimes a mistake is serendipity. Your 70's autumn colored vested is my fav; i love multiple colors and textures. You do lovely work. I have full confidence that you will have popular patterns when you start sharing/selling them.

Thank you again Hillaine for watching! I think it’s a big step going from striving for perfection to enjoying the process and finding joy in the journey, mistakes and all!! X

Absolutely love that vest for your son!! My husband would have said similar, aren’t they lovey 😂

Thank you for showing your "errors". I keep learning new things!

I am waiting patiently for Penelope's play dress. Or I'll have to go find a different child's dress and use your short row longer back trick. Also, if the yarn overs being larger bother you, I would recommend experimenting with doing yarn overs backwards (front to back) to decrease the amount of slack yarn when going from knit to purl.

I loved watching your journey into knitting. And you are doing something I wished I'd done 40 yrs ago! Saved all the precious memories Yes my children were born in the late 70s so no microwave, dishwasher or automatic washing machine, to help with the daily tasks. Their garments were usually made from unraveled adult sweaters, to help save the pennies. But like you say they have such memories of your journey. I'm still learning which is the fun bit and now I can purchase gorgeous yarns as well. I've just been converted to Norwegian style knitting to be kinder to my hands, because like you I love to knit fast and furious but it's not done my hands any favours, so look after them. I love your style of podcast and have just started from your first after recommended by Inga of Knitting Traditions. You are such a natural love it. 👏PS I thought you might be Cornish with Penrose as a surname. My part of the world.❤️

Hello Felicity, thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such a lovely comment! I absolutely love the idea of using old adult garments to make. We children’s ones, I’ve even got a few things I’ve made for myself that I don’t wear so maybe I’ll repurpose them! I currently only use Norwegian when I’m doing colour work though I occasionally do a few rows when I have lots of stockinette as my tension is pretty much the same in both hands now! So I’ve actually been to Penrose! We tried to get to the beach but my son was a baby and it was not pram friendly! If my daughter had been a boy she was going to be called Arthur as it had strong connections to the location! My husbands family (whose name I have taken on) can actually be traced back to Northern Ireland so I don’t think it’s Cornish in this case! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my content, welcome to the pickle family!! Xxx

I did not own a swift and bought an expensive hank of yarn from the farmers market that I attempted to wind. It took many hours to untangle before I could knit with it. Setting the sleeves in is a pain. Not too good with it either. I generally don’t knit sweaters, except for dog sweaters! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

The first time I bought indie yarn I had no idea you're supposed to unwind the hank into a ball. Once I figured that out I had to untangle that hank and hand wind into a ball which took 6-8 hours. I felt so stupid and a total noob! I have recently treated myself to a yarn swift and winder, which has been totally worth it. Although my husband is a bit sad because he actually enjoyed helping me wind up the yarn by hand.

Hi Deborah! Welcome back to the knitting world!! Yes I’m in the West Midlands, I grew up in Coventry but now live more towards the cotswolds! I am completely self taught, mainly through KZread so it’s totally possible, there are so many amazing videos out there for every technique your could possibly imagine. My first project was a tube scarf (a Gryffindor scarf for my nephew) which was basically a long tube of stockinette but was great for building muscle memory and learning how to work in the round (magic loop method). I then went onto baby garments using mainly free patterns found online. I’ve never used one but some of my buddies used the We Are Knitters, or Wool and the Gang baby blanket kits for their first projects as it has everything you need and supporting videos though they can be pricey. I fully believe the best way to learn is to just do. Do it and if you get it wrong, rip back, google it, then try again 😂 the knitting community is so supportive and encouraging and knowledgable, there will always be someone ready to help you when you need it!

3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you for such a lovely compliment! I think it’s a completely personal decision really, I’d say I use a mixture of free/paid for patterns, but the decision is rarely based on the cost, it’s because I love the pattern and want to make it. A good way to judge if a pattern is worth investing in is seeing if the designer has a free pattern, then you can see if you like the way they write/layout, then you know you’re investing in something you’ll enjoy. Also finding patterns with a large size range is great, tin can knits patterns for example include every single size from newborn to adult 5XL, so it’s a pattern you can reuse repeatedly. I’ve made 3 bowline sweaters all in different sizes and plan to make one for my husband so that’s 4 patterns for the price of 1. So I guess it’s about finding what works for you! Xx
