Eh?
I really appreciate your time in explaining how filmmaking effects the design process! It makes sense now why some are choosing to not be historically accurate but it is nice when the directors do put in effort to make a film more accurate or allow the designers to do so. Just my preference. It would be great if you would pause the clip of the video at the point where the garment is best visible. I found it really hard to first find what they were wearing and then give it a look over when all you showed was a second of the clip and took it down.

I think sometimes we need to remember that we do not have evidence of every single thing that existed in history. We have a relatively small portion. There comes a point where you just sort of have to say "It is reasonable to believe that this item/method was possibly used at this time." For example we do not as far as I have been able to find have evidence of small ridged heddles for bacstrap weaving being used by Viking women . Viking women did backstrap weaving and we have evidence for that. We have evidence Vikings visited places where the ridged heddles were being used. I would be willing to say that probably some of those ridged heddles were brought back and used but did not survive to become evidence.
There is nothing like knitting or crocheting by hand. It looks sophisticated and gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your recipes with the public.
Vintage knitting is intimidating and I love how you make patterns inspired by vintage designs. As a beginner I'm really excited to try this pattern. ❤
It's a 42 minute video. Eight minutes in, she finally gets to some kind of concrete point. Too many videos meander and talktalktalktalk before ever getting to ANY point at all. This weakens the presentation and few will have the patience to wait it out until some sort of concrete info is given.
I purchused your pattern but I have found thing to not understanding part. It is front neck line decrease way. . Please teach how to understand that part.
hello, could you tell me the name of the vintage pattern you showed as a comparison to Claire blue cardigan (Outlander), I'm looking for proper one for such a long time and if you have time it would be so helpful. sending greetings and bing thank you for this lovely video.
FYI: Godzilla minus one has some great knits!
Is beautiful, congrats ❤
Hei, hva betyr forkortelsen vrt i 2.omgang i beskrivelsen av honningkubemonster? Modell Abeilles
When showing something it is very usefull to do it slow. .. this vidio is to fast and blury
That imposter syndrom is so real lmao "I was a costume designer for film and TV and have been knitting like my whole life and am a knitwear designer so I THINK I have expertise here"....IF NOT YOU THEN WHO DOES? :P
Wow, the silver of your bunad is incredible. Love the whitework on the shirt's shoulders.
Excellent color combination suggestions.
The 2005 film adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' has a director's commentary with some remarks about historical accuracy. The white dresses, hand-dyed ribbons, and the director's apparently personal preference not to have the main character wear a bonnet except in church, are three of the comments the director, Joe Wright, touches on in the director's commentary.
Glad the costumes in Emma are perfect.
I really like this pattern it's gorgeous. I was wondering if the pattern would be suitable for a bigger bust as well or what alterations you'd recommend to accommodate a bigger bust.
You have designed an absolutely beautiful blouse and it is inspiring to note that you knitted the fabric into a blouse that is traditionally made of woven fabric and embroidered with silk or cotton floss or thread. I enjoyed the comparisons of cultural designs. Thanks!
I think I’m in ❤!
I just brought almost all of your wonderful patterns and am patently waiting, and saving all my pennies for your yarn shop to open back up!
Thank you so much for compiling this information. It was so interesting and so helpful as I try to find more connection to my Norwegian Heritage. I live in a town in the US with the largest Syttende Mai festival outside of Norway and I’m so excited to make a Bunad and have occasion to wear it every year! Now with your help I have so many more resources. Again, thank you so much. ❤
this was so helpful for my presentation on the Bunad! I am looking to imigrate to Norway and learn all that I can
The story I'm writing is somewhat based on Norway (or at least the region it takes place in) so I'm really interested in this, thanks for this recourse :)
So beautiful, I love all! 🐍
Not clear video, I can't see what you're doing at the beginning, sorry. I bought the pattern but it's so hard to follow
Put ur mic on ur laptop higher can't hear u.
Oh this is perfect!!! I'll try to recreate it this summer 🤍
Slightly off-topic (but not completely)- I **love** your sweater! Did you buy it, or make it? If the latter, I'd love to know the pattern
38:53 and there was a huge influx of immigrants from Norway to the United States at this time. So yes, these mittens would have been available in the United States at the time. They have also remained popular ever since: mittens with same pattern as Beth's were worn by Senator Bernie Sanders at the 2020 Inauguration, where he was caught prominently displaying them while looking very grumpy (and the internet had a field day). They are pretty much the mittens you'd expect to find if you went to a ski resort store. That being said, the Alcott family (on whom the March family is based) would likely not have worn mittens like this. New Englanders like the Alcotts were slow to adopt new trends, and this one was associated with an immigrant community. Although the war and the popularity of skiing as an athletic pursuit made the trend escape the Norwegian enclaves very quickly, New Englanders would generally have avoided anything that resembled what people going to ski resorts might wear. There is however a very good reason why a filmmaker might want to avoid what actually *was* historically accurate: it's extremely racist. A LOT of children's mittens surviving from the period have Wampanoag-style beadwork (if they are knitted, the knitting is plain with the beadwork on top). It's not clear whether this was a trend only on children's clothing, or a general trend but either way... yikes. It would also not look right to a modern audience: we associate that kind of bold, high color contrast, floral design with Art Deco.
I've discovered your designs on Pinterest and then on ravelry! I really love this sweater (and many other designs) 😍 as a french I can tell you, you pronounce "arrondissement" perfectly! ❤️
I don't know if you have seen it. The historic time is modern, WWII and present. I was fascinated by the knitware, mostly sweaters. Have you seen Red Joan? I would love your opinion on it.
My favourite period knits were in Anne with an E (the Netflix remake of Anne of Green Gables). I particularly loved the knits worn by the poorer laundry ladies in The Bogg.
I enjoyed your video very much. It would have been helpful for you to display the images you were referring to longer-maybe have only the images on screen while you discussed them. They went by in such a flash it was hard to see what you were referring to. 😢 Your sweater is so gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing the pattern! Your knowledge of working on film sets and discussing how the choices were made was fascinating. When the Academy Awards give the award for best costume design, I never considered how many people were involved in the costume design and the pieces in the movie. Thank you!
No he visto diseños más bonitos, vintages, elegantes, modernos al mismo tiempo pero no están en español!!!!! ¿Por qué???. No hay páginas así en nuestro idioma. ¿¿¿No sería posible traducirlos??????
i literally only saw the thumbnail and was immediately sold - this is exactly the sort of top i wear to work almost every day (just with a higher neckline) and i've been going up and down the city looking for a scoop-necked version and now i see THIS BEAUTY
That sweater is super cute!
hi
I am knitting the forest berry pattern. Are the left and right site knitted the same or in reverse?
My pattern says knit 3 rows even. It's during instructions for a heel. Every row has two M1, then after all those it says knit 3 rows even. What Does that mean? And then for large it says repeat last 4 lines. Does that mean repeat one increase row and the "knit 3 rows even"? I know I did it wrong, because the next instruction is to pick up 19 stitches and knit them, and there seems to be only 7. Jag tycker om att listna på dig, eftersom jag stannade i Sverige ganske ett år, och det pominar mig om tidet där (forlåt stavning, snälle)
I want to get your book! I just found you and love love love your work! I can’t find it! Can you please tell me where to buy it????
Wow. You are gorgeous. Pretty and elegant, and a gifted artist.
Wow. Literally a time-machine cloth
Conhecendo agora teus e amando!!
Hi My friend Jenn knitted several pieces of knitwear for Little Women including the two sontags that you mention. She researched mid nineteenth knitting, and studied a lot of historical patterns from books of the period so both of those were knit as close as possible to authentic patterns/recipes.
I'm having a hard time understanding the lace portion of this pattern, could you do a video explaining that? Your patterns are so beautiful!
