Thank you!!! Increasing in pattern was a challenge. If you have access to a 12” circular I would definitely start there. Trying to tension in magic loop and with DPNs made it more difficult. Also, I would put stitch markers around your solid central column color and make your increases on the inside of those additional markers. Keeping the “new” stitches grouped made identifying color changes a lot easier for me. You might try sketching out your first few increases/color pattern too!!! Good luck I would love to hear how your project goes! :)

@@Thx-I-made-it Thanks for the tip!! are you essentially making increases on one side of the central column? the way it's written is so confusing lol (at least for an intermediate/beginner)

@sydney9332 you’re making increases on either side of the center column! So you’ll knit the center column, increase 1 stitch, knit until you reach the beginning of round marker on the opposite side of the center column and increase 1 more stitch (+2 sts). Hopefully I’m not confusing you more hahaha

@@Thx-I-made-it No that's incredibly helpful, thank you so much 😭!

Thank you! I'm really happy with how they turned out :)

I found Stitch Please to be a little rougher than Cascade 220, but yes! the weight / yardage is an exact match. Premier also does sales periodically so you might be able to get an even better deal :) I'd love to know what you make if you do try it out

Thank you! 😊

Thank you for your suggestion! I think Google needs to retain some fluent swedish speaking people to help improve the translation funciton of their site hahaha

The grass is always greener, I'm impressed by people who make a plan and stick to it!! I'll weigh how much yarn I used and update my ravelry page so you can make your own mittens :)

You're so kind! Im confident you could succeed with this hat, I'll send you the link soon and I'm happy to help with any questions you might have :)

omg hahahahaha Google Translate has failed me again

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll send you a link soon :) The wall hanging was a big score at the Goodwill Bins! It brings so much color and joy into the office :)

Thank you for the feedback, I agree that my audio could be improved - I think I had my microphone sensitivity turned up too high. I modified this for my next video and I think it’s made a big (positive) difference!

I was like ..???? Pls we have enough weight classes for yarn 😭 don’t make us come up with an in-between for fingering wt and sport

Hehe thank you!!!!!! Bob twins for the summer!

I definitely have more dogs than babies to knit for (seems like those are the two camps) and honestly I’m thrilled because dogs rarely grow out of their cute outfits hahaha I finally got some new elastic & my birthday gift knit is almost complete .. then I’m full steam ahead on my shorts mission 🥳

If my mom saw me use my teeth as a tool she would have a cow but i couldn’t help it! We were in crisis - it was all hands (and mouth) on deck

It's definitely scratching a stripe itch. I want to make a .... more subtle version as well lol!

Such a great tip. I just added pins to all of my projects

I'm always confused when designers make content to supplement their designs and don't broadcast it everywhere! It's so much work and so helpful. I love your videos, I can't wait to see and get inspiration from your stripe life

Ok ok finished now 🥰 - thank you for your sweet compliments on my split crop top! I think yours looks adorable too, I know you said it's v. short so maybe a saucy request but I'd love to see it on! Maybe V2 though 😂 - your striped hat is super Dr. Seuss I love it! Would happily help test - your shawl yarns are GORGEOUS and I can't wait to see it in progress! What a steal getting all the yarn for sub-$20!

for design documentation purposes - I will post a try-on soon!! Dr. Seuss is such a great comparison, lol! I finished the hat recently but I want to frog and make some adjustments, luckily it's a very quick knit. Thank you for your offer, I'll keep you updated! :) I never thought I was a shawl person either, but I HATE rectangle scarves (at least for now) and then I started falling down a rabbit hole of project photos and now I'm daydreaming about being wrapped head to toe in knits.

I’ve lost many a Noro bid, lol! I’m always tempted by the vintage mohair yarns - that one sounds so cool!!

I know you’ve mentioned you love to use ravelry to plan your knits and I really like to filter by yarn weight on eBay to match up second hand yarn and projects!!! I’d love to know if you find anything :)

Just for you (and for me and my cardigan) I’m going to get some craft clay tomorrow to start my button project - thank you for seeing the vision!!!!!!!!

@@Thx-I-made-it Can't unsee it now -- I'm doing it too -- thank you for initiating the vision!

Ahhh! So glad you’ll be joining us (the 4 billion Sophie-scarf makers) - I’ve also made a pastel Sophie scarf but I almost never reach for it

I haven’t been to Alaska, but I would LOVE to go. What a gorgeous place to knit and show off your knitwear! I actually purchased the yarn second hand on eBay - I’ll have to take my sweater to Mill Bay one day

Omg so cute you’re so right!!!!!

That’s why boyfriends get superwash (mine included). You should def give the Zara dupe a shot!!! It wasn’t too hard to freestyle and if you have a tank pattern that you like I think it would be really easy to modify 💕💕

Awww I commented way too early and missed my sweet shout-out! Thank you so much 🥹 Also you give me way too much credit lol, I am absolutely improvising on my version of that crop too 😂 literally struggling my way through the neckline as I watch this vid

Selfishly I’m glad we’re both in the same boat, lol!

Thanks so much!! The starts aligned (literally, i guess) and we got as close to the perfect views as possible!

I haven't even heard of that method! I'm definitely going to give that a shot with my next pair of cuff-down socks. I have definitely debated just knitting 2 together at the end of my socks to avoid the extra finishing lol. Thanks so much for the tip!!!

It really was!!! Simultaneous button bands are a top tier construction imo

💞 Thank you!! It's a great pattern, I'd love to know more about your project if you cast on!

@@Thx-I-made-it now I added the so summer shorts too ugh😆 have a great weekend💐

You're so kind! Thank you -- I posted my pattern last night! I also look a little silly in a bonnet/balaclava, but I think we need a little levity in our style sometimes :) I tried picking up for an i-cord binding after posting this video, but wasn't able to get my tension right :( I completely agree with you though, the i-cord was so much more polished than the ribbing. oh well ..... maybe that means I need to make another iteration!!!

Your approach is probably going to be much more enjoyable (I’m redoing the neckline on my version for the 3rd time this weekend) I can’t believe I didn’t think about doing that hahahahaha - I CANT WAIT to see how yours turns out.

Yay! what kind of buttons did you choose? I am still being pulled in a million directions for my choice hahahaha (and thank you very much 🧡)

@@Thx-I-made-it I used 1 inch shank buttons with an animal print design. I was so excited about my cardigan that I made a whole video about it. It is one of my most favorite makes!

Ahhh! I’m so excited to see both of them!!!! I started my Zara dupe top and I would definitely recommend a sport/fingering weight yarn. Or at least not worsted weight lololol

@@Thx-I-made-it haha, noted! I'm not lying when I say I'm obsessed, I've been thinking about it for the full two days since I watched haha I was thinking probably a quite soft stretchy yarn might be good? Also it didn't look ribbed but I'm considering doing a ribbed fabric

@@GardenVarietyKnits I think the OG looks like it’s a fairly open gauge stockinette but I think the ribbed would be suuuuper cute sounds like we are cooking up a little pattern recipe. Time to learn how to grade lol

Ah!! thank you ♥

ooooo a DK sock! I added it to my favorites, thank you for your rec -- I should've paid more attention in my German class. Hopefully google translate will come to my rescue :)

Oh I didnt think about that, sorry haha😅 I could help you with the translation for sure, if you decide to make them :)

That is such a kind offer - thank you!

⚠ nuudi are u listening?????? thanks you! :)

Yeah this section made me giggle 😊

Full transparency, I still haven't given it a good final block and pin, but it IS flowy! It's so wearable and it was such a relief to skip picking up for a button band. I recommend it!

Thank you!!! It was definitely a good learning experience (I spend a lot of time at my desk) I definitely want to make more!

you're so right!

Aww thank you so much! It's definitely been a journey, some days when I'm working on it I truly can't tell if I love it or hate it but I'm so excited to see the end result. Bottom-up is so much more of a mystery (good and bad). I can't wait to see what you cook up next too!! I'm especially excited for your reviews of the Lauder vest - I think 2024 might be the year of cables for me so I'm gathering all the information I can!

It really is! I like to act like I can just sit down, record, and post, but I know if i take a minute to think about staging and audio I'll be 10X more satisfied with the end product. Thanks for your encouragement Margaret! :)

And they’re both cuter in knitwear!!!!!!

Great tips, thank you! I've used black and navy Rit dye on cotton clothing in the past, and definitely had better success when I pre-soaked the garment. I think this helps the dye bind to the fibers more uniformly. I've been browsing the Rit color recipe page quite a bit and hopefuly I'll be able to make up my mind soon!

I’ve since casted on the partner pullover and it’s soooo much fun. I’ll try and record an update soon ☺️. Yes I love your newest penny gloves. The color is so electric. I think if I was going to get a Musselburgh/penny gloves out of one skein I would have to add stripes to one half of the hat… and now I feel like I need to cast that on lol
