So happy to see your smiling face in another lovely episode. Love your grandpa power cardigan so far. You are such a talented designer! You do not need a power sweater as you have power of your own, but it is stunning. So glad you've continued the creative work that gives you such joy, it shows in your episodes. Please keep on with the nerdy stuff, people can fast forward if they're not into it at the time. But that is a great asset you possess. Carry on, oh creative one!

I love the idea of using a Turkish cast on instead of a regular provisional cast on, and it's a very smart way of making picking up stitches easier.

Hi fellow Athena!!!😆

I know I already said this but need to give another moment of appreciation for your stunning mohair blouse!! The lace is beautiful, and your choice of material & your picot modifications has completely transformed the design! And I love the nerdy stuff haha - I know it's not easy to explain these things so I really do love that you take the time to talk through it because I find it so helpful and interesting! Now I feel empowered to add a picot edge! Besides, nerds are the best, especially knitting nerds 😂 That's so special that you created your own mitten design based on the vintage Chinese pattern dictionary, that feels like such a special project! I always come away from your videos feeling super inspired to create something new so thank you for sharing your aaamazing creations!!! And I recently read Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow as well and LOVED it. For a time I was also super inspired to knit something hokusai-wave esque, inspired by the ichigo game in the book haha. It's a great story, I was completely ugly crying throughout the book!

Oh that vintage Chinese stitch dictionary is a TREASURE! I plan to create more things from it this year. I wonder why there aren’t modern ones like it now. Nowadays it’s mostly Japanese knitting books translated in China.☹️ Tomorrow * 3 is so emotionally charged and nerdy too (about games, music, visual arts). I was a big fan of Japanese ukiyoe even before the book. I’d love it if you can transform one into knitting!🌊🌊🌊

I love the “nerdy stuff”, keep talking about it please 🙏😆

How do you find these patterns? Love the variety. I also appreciate that you just knit things without a pattern. More of us knitters need to do that. Super interesting.

Thank you! For those Japanese patterns, I often find them discussed on Chinese social media (mostly on Red Book - the Chinese equivalent of Instagram) since a lot of those are introduced and translated. What’s popular among Chinese knitting community can be quite different from those with English community. I also follow Japanese designers and knitting magazine publishers on Instagram. Feel free to look at my followings there to see if anyone interests you!

Oh funny! I just knit the sweater from the cover of that 2018 Keitodama magazine :) I even got Jamiesons Spindrift yarn in the same color, but comparing it with Holst Supersoft, i was very disappointed. Considering that you pay 6 euros for 25 g of Spindrift but only 3 euros for 50g of Holst, i found the thick-and-thin quality of Spindrift, often knots, and how scratchy it is in comparison not so good. But at least I have the sweater in the same color :)

@SeedlingStitch

3 ай бұрын

Oh interesting! I actually prefer Jamison’s spindrift over Supersoft (if not considering the cost). I love Spindrift’s loft and heathering. The unevenness usually blocks out for me. I prefer its thicker weight as well.

Drops Kid Silk can be scratchier than KFO Soft Silk Mohair. Brushed Alpaca yarn like CaMaRose Midnatssol can be even softer.

Talking about nerdy things and techniques, the more complicated the better, is what makes your channel so enjoyable. I do not like the "look at my FOs, i knit them to pattern, they look fine" knitting podcasts very much, because they do not add any value nor give educational content. In this sense, please continue as before! Or even add more nerdy things ;)
