The COLOURS 😍😍😍

the orkney is sooooooo pretty!

Hi what’s mili making

I wish ends could just disappear after you’re done with a project

The yellow one is looking so good!.

It looks so pretty!!. Unwoven ends and all.

that fair isle cardigan, I won´t stop raving about it! love the catch up Mili! and all the acquisitions are soo good!

I'm also eyeing the smocky cardigan!! but not fully sold yet

Oooh, all those cabled sweaters look great. I love a classic aran sweater with lots of texture in an undyed cream wool. But after my current project (an oversized raglan cardigan in dark purple) I have my eye on the Helices sweater by Kayen-itee on Ravelry. I've been wanting to knit a circular yoke pullover with a decorative stitch pattern for a while, and the Helices combines my desire for that with my affection for cables.

I get what you mean about local wool. I am originally from Canada and I always found it so hard to find local stuff (maybe because this was years ago before the knitting boom). Now I live in the UK and I have a yarn guy that I just text if I want some farm yarn and he has different types of sheep and I get like a kilo of wool for like 15 pounds.

OBSESSED with your yellow test knit call me easily influenced:))

Loving the yellow cardi😍

I hope you and your cone will be very happy together 😆 Good luck on finishing your Rhinebeck sweater, it looks amazing already! Very well done and totally unique.

i think your fair isle sweater looks soo more interesting and coherent than the original inspo! incredible dedication with all the alts too 👊👊 also the cooone is so cute 😭😭

I live in the Northeast too. Did any of the farms you came across only use their sheep for wool and not for meat?

I really appreciate what you're doing with your fair isle sweater. I think a lot of people in this space are not as adventurous and it's not that difficult. Plus it's turning out sooo good.

At this point, with so many mods on your orkney you can rename it because that is your own thing now😂😂 And the cone definitely looks like a heavy DK/worsted to me!

your orkney cardigan is just a feat of determination and a marvel of knitting. its just incredible how you managed to essentially freehand that sweater. so so cool

Love your cardigan 9! Making me want one 😊

Pretty good luck

"Cor-ru-gate-ed" ribbing 😊 like the cardboard or iron Loving the psychedelic fair isle 😁

Your Norfolk Sweater and Orkney Cardigan are so pretty! 💗🧶

I love the Brusca yarn, I’ve started using it and I’m making some balaclavas and I want to make a pelica out of it too 🤩

Re: yarn cone What I would do to determine the yardage is measure out 10 yards of the fiber back and forth on a yardstick. Weigh the 10 yard ball. Divide this number by 10 to get the weight of a single yard. Weigh the cone, subtract 20 grams for the cardboard (this is the average weight of a yarn cone). Take this number and divide it by the weight of a yard. That should give a good approximation of the total yardage. :) also doesn't look like fingering at all to me lol I'd be swatching

Your orkney sweater is amazing! I am working on a cable/lace sweater for Sari Nordlund at the moment

send a message to the cone producers to see if they can send you the weight of the cardboard cone as a favor. then rest that to the weight of your cone.

Your orkney sweater was so beautiful! I saw you wearing it walking into rhinebeck as I was leaving. I considered saying hi but my fiance and I were so tired 😅 but it with your pink dress was such a cute outfit! Oh my gosh! I bought the same undyed dark brown yarn from Swayze Inn farm at NJ fiber! Im using mine to make a “stoneware” version of the porcelain sweater.

I'm currently knitting the smocky cardigan as my first ever sweater project and the smock stitch has been really easy so I wouldn't worry about that! I can really recommend the pattern

By Saturday? With that front? Oh girl... Looks beautiful though. Don't rush art.

That’s so cute

So much good inspo here! 😊

I would LOVE an Advent knit along!!! I’m obsessed seeing everyone’s advents!

currently working on my first colorwork sweater while watching this!! ALSO the tulip loop sweater (not the rollneck) by other loops reminds me so much of the ballard pullover by sari nordlund. BUT i love the detail of the rollneck on the tulip loop so i ~may~ knit that for myself as well :) love your video, can't wait to see what you end up creating!

Beautiful 🤩 colors. You’ll do great with the steeking.

watching this while literally working on a beatrix cardigan in chocolate brown (gilliatt cacao) hehe loving all the textured moments

i'm SOO looking forward to seeing the full project video on this AND seeing you in this gorgeous piece on sat!

Can’t wait to see the sweater done!! 🥹

Excellent analysis.. I am totally with you on the “ would knit cables forever instead of seed stitch .” I feel the same about the mistake rob cardigans that are around 🙄

I've knit the baby bear cardigan multiple times and my gripe is that the hood only is default to 1 size (if it really is the same pattern). The hood is VERY big if knit for the smaller size body. My first was knit for my son before he was born, and we had to fold the edge so that it would not cover his face. Whichever size you knit, I hope you will take a moment to compare any other hooded items maybe your mom is buying to what your WIP so that the fit matches the body.

Don’t be a sheep don’t be influences brainwashed by so called influencer and stores as they are out to make $ off you. Instead follow your own style

I really like the Siri Cardigan, Haraboji Cardigan, and Smocky Cardigan. 🧶The Baby Bear Knit Hoodie is so adorable! I am knitting the Seven Sisters Top right now.

I just started the smocky cardigan!!! The smock stitch is what drew me in hahah I am so incredibly intimidated by this project but I know I’m going to love the final project, and it’s actually going to be a gift knit for my mum. Anyway, don’t let the smock stitch deter you! It progresses like a normal cable, it’s not like double knitting where two rows equals one finished row. I was confused when you said you heard it took many rows to make one row of progress heheh I actually find it easier than the kind of cable stitch where you need to rearrange the stitches. Loving your knitting podcasts! Looking forward to your next one already

Definitely interested in a video of non-traditional advent projects!! Getting my second advent, but not into shawls or blankets…would love to make garments!

I love fashion and knitting helps me with that! I love wearing my "fun to knit" things out a lot more than the staple pieces because they bring me such joy. Anything with colorwork and textures are usually my go-to cause I can always pair it with basic denim or skirts and they elevate the outfit ❤

I recently found your videos and I’m having a blast watching while I knit. Currently I have 3 sweaters on the needles all at different stages. The Sabai, the Tolsta Vest & the Plain Yoke Tee 20 Solo. I live in a warming climate so my knits are usually light weight or layering pieces. Thank you for your inspirations and color combos! Happy Knitting!

LOVE knitting baby things! it’s mostly what i work on, i’ve been obsessed with making baby bloomers recently, so fun and easy to work up!

I really like following along with your knitting and design plans - I think your combination of current fashion and knitting world fashion is pretty unique and inspiring! I never considered myself fashionable (I used to mainly wear my older brother’s hand me downs when I was a kid, even though my mum loved to put me in dresses) but it was a nice surprise when I passed a high end fashion store and they had a top that was almost identical to a sweater I knit displayed front and center 😂

your intro to this video is *exactly* what i'm currently struggling with! I want to knit interesting and "fun to knit" things, but that doesn't always lead to things that have a place in my wardrobe. basically, i've been loving your videos (i loved your vintage colorwork one) because I like your overlap of fashion/style AND knitting, not just knitting 💕

I LOVE your idea for the advent knit along, and your whole reasoning for doing a more interesting knit for an advent. I dont have the same skill level as you and am terrified of colorwork but I am currently working on a Marseille Sweater using the Hobbit advent from Skien and the Stitch. I have worked it where it's an all over striped version of the pattern, and I am holding 3 strands. 1 is the NSW fingering of the advent, 2 is isager alpaca 1 in white and 3 is an alpaca silk strand in a mossy green color. It has created a gorgeous fade but with this heather texture as well. Cant wait to finish. I hope to do an Olga sweater with another advent this year and would love to join a little group talking about advents!
