Hi nora im from sunny england your my sunday morning company with a cup of tea i love all your knitty adventures

9 am EST is 3pm here in Italy. 😊love you to be part of my Saturday afternoon knitting

I would definitely do a simple non rib finish on the Farnum Tee. It would make the vibe much more "tee like" and less "sweater like". I did the Edie Tee by Isabel Kraemer and all finishes were knit one row, purl one row, and bind off. I loved the look and finish that produced. Your color work is spectacular. Maybe the mohair is producing a fog over the color work that makes you think it is not as clear as it should be but it should block out just fine. Color dominance is definitely a thing so watch out for that. Thank you for taking us through your projects!!

Excuse if I don’t get up… 9am EST on Saturday morning is 1am on Sunday morning here in Auckland New Zealand. So I have wonderful Sunday morning hearing your lovely voice.

I like the Farnham tee, I added it to my queue. The ribbing will give it the hard and soft you like. In this case the dressy and casual.

I love that you're wearing your Korshavn cardigan! I'm finishing up the final details of the Korshavn Slipover with some leftover Fisherman's wool I had from my Eun.

I, too, like the idea for icord for the neck but also the sleeves and ribbing or folded hem for the bottom.

Hi Nora. That tee shirt is such a lovely colour on you. To finish, you could always do I cords at the sleeves and hem, and then the little bit of ribbing at the neck for a bit of visual interest. Or I also like the idea of the ribbing on all the edges with the sleeve edges rolling up a little. Your colour work is looking great. You knitted your yoke much faster than I knitted mine! I'm knitting the newleaf sweater by Jennifer Steingass, and I've found it so easy to follow.. Almost ready to pick up the sleeves 🥰

I like the idea of a folded edge. But I also have a few summer tops in those cooler fibers that have broken rib (one row 1x1 rib, next row all knits) and I think it makes a really nice edge. Also love the sparkle that shows through on that shirt!!!

I think your tee looks beautiful and I think a rolled edge at the neckline would keep it light and even more perfect!

Hiya Nora, love the idea of putting cumbersome parts of a wip in a drawstring bag. That's helpful, thanks to you & that commentor who mentioned it! Also, love your hair in the bun, so chic. Re: your Azucena Pullover, I get "Alien Invaders" 8-bit video game when it comes to the motif. I mean this as a compliment, I think it's cool & it looks consistent. I anticipate that I'll have issues with tension when I tackle my first color work sweater. Love your can-do attitude. Thanks for the great video. Take care, Anna

you are really good doing your flower, you are daring, I am not so daring it look good from far.

Coming to you from Germany with an afternoon coffee! I think I would do the rolled hem you suggested, it's so much more fun than standard ribbing all-around.

Morning coffee or tea for me as I’m in North Carolina. I always look forward to your podcast. I think the ribbed finish in the original is perfect for that style casual look- BUT, in your case the yarn choice is giving a more dressy finish - even if you do also throw it on to run the grocery store with a ball cap - so I think I’d do something different. I love an i-1cord neck finish, and folded cuffs and hem would be nice to balance. 🧶 you will find your perfect balance I am sure. Look forward to seeing what you do. Cher

I am in love with the marled yarn for the Farnham Tee. It's so beautiful. Im a huge fan of marled yarn. I want to get more into spinning, specifically so that I can have more marled yarn to work with.

I like the idea of the roll neck. I don’t like things up on my neck. For the sleeves and hem I think I would do longer ribbing on both. 😊

I think i-cord bind offs would look really nice on that tee. I think that the heavy weight of the fabric would be conducive to using i-cord for the edges.

Rolled finishing would be lovely on your tee

For the Farnham Tee I agree that rib wouldn't be my choice either. My two suggestions are either to finish it the way Petiteknit has done on her Cloud pieces. Or possibly just a couple rows of garter and then stockinette again for a limited roll. The other way I like is a two stitch i-cord. I often find 3 stitch i-cords a bit too bulky/too pronounced. In a two stitch i-cord you would just cast on two new stitches , knit one and knit the second together through the back loop with the live stitches on the needle (or the picked up stitch on the neck line). you could try it for a few stitches to see how you like the look. Also I did it as per pattern in Caidree's Soho top. You can get an idea from her pictures although it is done next to garter there. I am sure it will turn out fab whatever you decide to do! (I am only three hours behind you here in Vancouver Canada)

If I feel like specific colourwork stitches are too loose, I turn the jumper inside out and gently pull on the strands to redistribute the excess yarn over the whole row. It evens out the tension so you don't get one stitch that's really loose. But honestly, blocking works miracles in colourwork, and your jumper already looks beautiful.

Love your videos! I would probably do an i-cord border for the tee but ribbing is always classic. Realistically with a design as classic as this one you really can’t go wrong with the choice. :)

Thank you so much!!

Nora, I would suggest finishing the Farnham tee with 2 inches of garter stitch. The Tee is so pretty with the glitter element that it deserves more than a role or ribbing hem. The garter stitch elevates the Tee and allows you to dress it up to another level while at the same time, you can still dress it down and wear with jeans. The garter stitch can also be applied to the sleeves and neckline but only a 1/2 to 1 inch.

I gave birth in march & there was no time to knit for me since then, but still watching your videos while breastfeading 😂 love your fos/wips & Plans & the vibe

Yay a March baby! Congratulations 💛 thank you so much! I'm happy to play a small role in keeping your knitting hobby alive!!!

For your colourwork in the Azucena I think your tension is okay, it might be a colour dominance thing. Are you holding your contrast colour on top or bringing it up from the bottom/below the main colour when you switch to it? I learned colour dominance the hard way in my first couple of colourwork projects and once I adjusted how I was picking up and working the contrast colour the motifs really started to pop! Maybe look into it, I'm sure I've seen lots of tutorials here on YT, but beyond that it looks GREAT and I adore your colour choices! 🤩

Suggest blocking the colorwork sweater now to get the immediate satisfaction on your tension! And be reassured it will even out. The embellishments sound surprising and exciting! 😮

@trishasmith1758

2 ай бұрын

I agree! Blocking will definitely change how the colorwork looks 😊

For your Farnham Tee, a finish that I have used before on a Julie Hoover Design comes to mind. I love her designs. They have such attention to detail and I always learn something new. Here is what she did… 3 rounds of 1x1 rib then 5 rounds of stockinette. The stockinette rolled beautifully and the ribbing did a little peek a boo below it. I think this would be lovely on the sleeves and neckline. I’m a big fan of deep twisted rib for the waist. Super cute and really flexible styling!

Your farnham tee is turning out so cute! Your gamble on that fabric choice was really a winner in the end 🤩 I personally am not a fan of rolled hems, so I would choose .5-.75” ribbing all over to finish it off, but maybe don’t drop your needle size so it stays more open?

You could do i-cord finish on all the edges. Or the neckline only to keep it minimal.

I would consider double knitted collar, or an i-cord finish. Folded hems for the other finishes! Ribbing might be a bit too casual for this awesome fabric!

Great job on your first colorwork yoke. It is hard to belive you just went straight into this without practice. If you're worried about the tension, you could always block it now and and double check it. That way if you decide you hate how it looks, you won't have to frog as much. Although, if it doesnt bother you and you'll be happy either way, ignore me and full steam ahead! You're doing great!

Hi Nora, I have a similar conundrum with my project, on mine I like the boat neck effect is giving and adding the ribbing will ruin it. I think I would do a short ribbing like you suggested, maybe 3-4 rounds before bind off, for both the neck and sleeves. Longer ribbing at the bottom. I think that will allow you to dress it up better than an icord would. Also love your channel! ❤

I'm another for an i-cord finish on the Farnham ❤

When you block your colour work one it will all puff up and look perfect 🥰

I recently did the Nuuk pattern which is a very similar (just raglan instead of drop shoulder) tee, and personally I think the ~1 inch of twisted rib really brought that project to life, so my vote is following the pattern for the finishes! But obviously, do what you think is best for you and your project!

Hi Nora... HAPPY SATURDAY 😊 I'm thinking an I-cord finish on all edges would be beautiful as a polished/casual look with rhe sparkle in the garment. Have a nice week!

Hiya Nora, with colourwork i would say that too loose is better than too tight. What I do is occasionally give the work a good tug vertically and then horizontally as I am working through. This can stretch the colourwork out, especially when you have plain stockinette in between. One of my homegrown hacks, but it can sort loose tension out. It looks lovely anyway x

@akaNoraKnits

That’s so great to know!! Thank you!!

Loving how your Farnham tee is coming along! I think your tension will resolve with practice. I think that pattern is a great colourwork first garment but for anyone trying colourwork for the first time, I started on a cowl and I’m happy I did that as I got to understand my tensioning before diving into a garment 😊. I have Truboo in my stash so I’m very tempted after seeing how your tee is coming along.

@akaNoraKnits

Thank you!!! So smart to start with a cowl-I think I’m just such a garment focused knitter that I may have lost motivation with an accessory lol. It’s so fun to see the Truboo work up with the linen! I can’t say how it would behave in it’s own, but I’m sure it’s be lovely!

Nora, I’d recommend some sort of ribbing or folded hem for the Farnham for the hem and sleeves mostly bc you mentioned layering it and a rolled sleeve under a blazer, etc seems uncomfortable and also visible through the blazer sleeves. I do think you cld roll the collar though if you’d like. If you look up Caidree’s cast off for the Serein sweater on KZread, I think it’s a great way to do a clean hem that will roll.

Love your colorwork sweater. But for beginners, I would say a pattern with a more regular transition from one color to the other (let's say 3 stitches C1, 2 stitchs C2 and similar lengths of color) would make it easier for a beginner to practice tension. Nevertheless, yours look great and I think it'll be fine with blocking! Love the tee as well, the combination of the two yarns is just perfect!

I’m coming in a day late as drag racing season has started here! Love, love, love your sweater! My suggestion for your neckline would be a I-Cord bind off. For your sleeves I’m a little torn . . .Twisted Rib would be cute! But how many rows . . .and since I’m not familiar with the Twisted Rib stitch yet . . .does it use more yarn? Or a folded hem . . .I have no doubt what ever you choose will be perfect! I want you to know when I am done watching this I will be using my, “Inner Nora” and casting on my first colorwork project that also happens to be a test knit! I found a sweater that I will be making for my dear husband but the pattern will not be ready until June. The designer just designed a cowl with this same patterning and I was accepted as a Test Knitter! The yarn is wound and I will be casting on as soon as I am done watching!

i love your farnham, it’s so cool!! i really like the idea of a bit of 1x1 finished with a few rows of stockinette for a rolled hem look, but still structure in the edges. here in utah, it’s 7:30 am when you post- i watch these before work and it’s always a treat!

I'd knit the Farnham in line with the pattern for the ribbing. The only change I'd make is to shorten the neck rib to your sensitivity tastes at the front neck. For the colourwork sweater, I think this colourwork looks hard because of the long floats. One with less țhan 3 stitches of either colour would be easier than the one which you did. That could be a good way to practice your tension. I think blocking will really help your colourwork to settle. I don't think you should change your needle size for colourwork. Just practice your tension, and you'll get there. Thanks for sharing your knitting progress and thoughts on it

Your colorways looks soo good! Maybe try steaming it and see if it looks better once the yarn blooms..... I bet it will look sooo much better

Aunt Laurie here. Youve made a lot of progress this week - congrats! I love the look youre getting with the tee - the marling really ups the ante. Re the finishes, im leaning toward the folded hems on the bottom and sleeves and whatever tge i-cord is on the neck. (Not being a knitter, im not familiar with it, but i trust the collective majority opinion of your viewers.). I think the ribbed hems go better with the striped version and the rolled hem gives less flexibility in yerms of dressing it up. For what its worth.,.......

I’m loving your tee! That fabric is so special. Last year was my first foray into knitting summer garments and I made 2 tees. I dislike the ribbing on them when I wear them and just don’t reach for them. I want to frog and reknit them. So my opinion is… I would consider folded hems for both waist and sleeves, and maybe the rolled hem you’ve been considering for the sleeve as the neckline. Or something like MFTK’s camisole no.9/ tee no. 1 neckline.

I saw them and immediately dropped everything to dig into my stash to find yarn to make those socks immediately! I never been so motivated to knit a pair of socks in my life! 😂

i vote icord edge for neckline because it can dress up and down so effortlessly where as rolled hem takes more effort to style up, plus as it’s a natural fiber the loose icord would keep the neckline static

Hi Nora, I have just had breakfast and now knitting whilst watching your latest episode before running some Saturday morning errands! Regarding the finishing of your Farnham tee, have you thought about i-cord edgings instead of ribbing? Also, I tend to work quite a bit with plant fibres and with the weight of the tee, you may wish to consider adding some elastic, especially at the neckline, to help it keep its shape and increase the longevity of the tee in your work wardrobe.

Well thanks for joining me for your morning!! I hadn’t considered that yet-though I definitely will now! Thank you!!!

I would do rolled hems

Colorwork tension - I find that mine is looser when there are floats. Try a pattern or a swatch without a lot of floats and you will know

If that was my Farnham tee and I was trying to use up stash and not have tiny useless amounts left over I'd go with the pattern and do the twisted rib. I suggest you do whatever neckline you decide on before you decide finally on length as picking up stitches at the neck will pull it in a bit and make the sweater shorter. I would then do the sleeve hems and then use up as much of my remaining yarn as possible on the body. If you want to wear it for work then you will want more length than you might choose of you were going to wear it outside of work. BTW I made a size H and used 988m of yarn but I did stripes and added length as I am taller than you with a long torso. Highly recommend the pattern.

I don't know if this is something you're familiar with, but with colorwork there's something called color dominance, which has to do with how you carry the yarn across the back. It can make a difference in how your colorwork pops. I'm no expert and have to look it up whenever I do it, but there's plenty of tutorials for it on KZread. That said, your Acuzena is lovely. If there are any stitches you''re not happy with when it's done, you can always duplicate stitch over them later.
