    Yay new video! I love your channel, I think you are probably the most relatable knitter to myself that I watch on KZread 🤣 I'm currently working on a Salty Days sweater, which is my second one but I'm making it out of Drops Paris for a spring/summer version! Hoping I'll be able to get some wear out of it with what little spring we have left. And if not then maybe I can wear it on cold summer nights by a campfire 😊

    FINALLY someone who finds Noro yarn ugly <3 :D haha I got a skein of Noro sock yarn from a colleague long time ago, but I really dislike how uneven the texture is and how much weird elastic threads are inside. Ugh. Idk why there's so much hype for Noro yarns. Knit Pro gingers are the best, I like beech ones too. I can recommend black cords with golden ends, they are more elastic than brown ones. The bag that you've made is gorgeous, well other projects too! I love your podcast, you deserve a lot subs and views :D

    Haha I really like your sense of humor :D The cardigan made from hand dyed yarn and lopi turned out great! I'm knitting Ingrid sweater from CaMaRose Okologisk Hversomething (cannot into Copenhagen) and KFO soft silk mohair. Dust bunnies are everywhere, please send help. I've also started No Frills sweater a few months ago, I have to finish the body, but I'm invested into Ingrid a bit too much🥲the yarn combo I've chosen is a bit different, because I picked Sesia Imperial instead of the mohair, it's super soft and I see Darth Vader in my head every time I remember the name of this yarn.

    Thank you! We'll call your CaMaRose yarn "Copenhagen yarn" 😅 I really love seeing other people's Ingrid sweaters and I'm sure yours will turn out great! I wanted to try that pattern myself, but I'm on a Petiteknit pattern moratorium lol, I need to make room for other great designers and patterns in my knitting. How do you like working with that Sesia yarn? Does it substitute mohair well in terms of halo and "puffiness"?

  • @beatac.8156
    @beatac.81564 ай бұрын

    @@andoliniknits Imperial is not as puffy and fluffy as mohair, it's way shorter but it makes a tiny little halo. I made a sweater with Imperial held double and I love it. It's super light (only 175g) and not scratchy at all. For No Frills sweater I combined Imperial with Biches&Buches Le Petit Lambswool and this combination produces a lovely, squishy fabric. I also wanted to give myself a moratorium for PK patterns, but I was literally dreaming about knitting gray Ingrid sweater so I gave up loool 😂I'm eyeing for Creabea's patterns now, but I have to finish my WIPs first :D

    Regarding the old scarf - I found the "feather" lace pattern in a book at the time of making it, but there is a similar scarf pattern available on Ravelry for free: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/feather-and-fan-short-scarf. The yarn I used was Yarn Art Angora Ram, which has unfortunately been discontinued a long time ago. If you ever came across similar fuchsia colorways in other yarns, please let me know! 🫡

    I'm excited about trying this pattern but I'm wondering if you see any problem with using a two at a time magic loop instead of DPNs?

    Thank you! As I said in the video, I'm personally not a fan of ML, but I am sure your method will be perfect for you and other folks who prefer to use ML and two-at-a-time. You will still need to cast on 12 st for each side and separate them with 4 markers, so you can track where to do the increases, as well as later use spare needles to graft the center stitches. You will need to pay attention to the part where I show how the remaining stitches should be joined together, and if you have any questions when you get to this point, you can of course DM me.

Again, I'm grateful for your advice.

    Hi! This was always intended as a free video tutorial only, I am by no means a pattern maker. I am planning to add a pdf recipe sometime in the future, but it will be complementary to the video instructions. This is a popular method of slipper costruction, which means that you can buy similar written patterns on Ravelry that go into much more detail.

    If you want to felt the finished slippers, then you need to adjust your "before felting" measurements accordingly. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with felting, so I can't advise a specific ratio, it depends on the yarn. However, if you're just asking if the slippers can be made with "feltable" yarn, then yes, rustic, rowing or even unspun yarn will work great.
