I really do like your faded/not really faded Dopio pullover. It’s beautiful even if it’s not what you envisioned. I’ve been there. I have learned I am happier with a fade if the yarns all have similar color value as they blend much more easily.

I watched your Ireland video, I think it was the first one you did where you were on a boat going to an island for a couple days. I say that because you had a beautiful purple turtleneck sweater on that I cannot stop thinking about. If you have any idea as to what I’m talking about, can you please share a pattern with me? Also, when is your next Scotland trip?
@rachelisknitting9 сағат бұрын
That sweater is my turnunculus, or turtleneck version of the Ranunculus! I knit 40 rows of the collar before starting the yoke in order to make a turtleneck. It’s long sleeved and slightly cropped as for other mods I made to get the look of that FO :)

Well aren't you the timely one! I started logging my yarn (on Ravelry) last week, and I have been thinking about matching yarns to patterns I'm going to make. Thanks for this one 😊 (And I know you have a life but in a perfect world? There would be a RIK episode every day 😄 You are crazy funny in addition to being informative. )

Love the fit--and color--of your california sweater! I really appreciate your explaining the influence the three yarns (color and halo) had on the "fade"; no comment on the finished object (as per request). Whenever it comes to fruition, I will love seeing the wool (bats?) to spinning to complete knitted object vid! I will watch your videos--no matter how often or seldom they come out--because of your cool knitting content and your witty and wry perspectives on knitting and other aspects of life!

Do love the content and am fascinated by your honest and thought out comments about yarn, patterns, and finished products. I’ll certainly stick around. I admire you for giving yourself time to think about your feelings around your most recent sweater. 👏 Thank you for putting in so much time, energy, and thought into these videos. Until I see you again. Salam wa sa’aadah

My first ever knit garment was Coloring Book Tee (I did mine all in one color) in cotton yarn. Pattern is by Aimee Sher. I absolutely love the fit still, so I would say it could be a place to start. You may also find patterns specifically designed for fingering weight cotton, which might be a good place to start too.

I LOVE that you have 3 pages of suitable yarn listed for this project in your stash! If you’re anything like me there’s probably another pages worth that you haven’t even entered into your stash yet😅 My 2 favorite Ravelry features are ‘Saved Searches’ and ‘Favorites’, both of which I use daily. I only use ‘Queue’ when I actively cast on a project. It’s my equivalent of a note card that would get tucked into the project bag.

I appreciate your honesty about your sweater. I think you were brave and adventurous to give it a try to do the fading. If you never try it, you don’t know what you will get. So much of knitting is about experimenting and frogging until you decide what you like. Bring it to Ireland even if you don’t wear it. You may find the perfect yarn to make a brand new Ireland sweater.
@wheeltrishКүн бұрын
I want to respect your wishes but I really like the faded sweater. To me, the only point that is somewhat questionable is the bottom third where the tone changes from blue-purple to pink-purple. But even so, I like it. That said, what’s important is how you feel. If the sweater doesn’t make you feel good, you don’t have to make yourself have a relationship with it. You need to do what makes you happy, and that’s what’s most important. Fades are not as easy or friendly as Andrea Mowery makes them look. Hang in there.

Hi Rachel, I'm new to your channel. As an older lady, I came to the time of life where I had to stop knitting for myself. I've knitted for charities for about 10 years. Quite a lot of my yarn is donated. So I have to be flexible with what I have. So I'll get to the point, you can make the neck of your California sweater deeper, just add extra rows in a complimentary yarn. Any colour will do. It's not seen inside and sewn down. Love your podcasts, keep knitting regards Sandra x

Just wanted to comment (usually i lurk on YT only 👀) and say I literally was so excited to watch this video just so see if I could replicate the yarns you used on your Doppio LOL (sadly for me, thats not gonna happen). I think it is so gorgeous and it is one of those pieces that if you let it grow on you (like mold?) it will probably end up being** one you wear all the time. Excited to see if you go back and change it, though! It will end up gorgeous any way you make it

Thanks for the explanation of how Suri affects a sweater color because of halo. I want to add Suri or mohair to a future sweater but keep getting stuck on how the color will effect the wool yarn I plan to use with it. I have a better idea now of what to pick color wise. (I think your doppio sweater is really pretty especially the yoke.). Your dew drop pattern is so pretty.
