Thank you 🧶

Great suggestions thanks so much.

Wow! My birth country is Seoul, Korea. Which part of Korea do you live in?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thank you!.

The Renga Beret and The Simple Thing patterns are definitely on my list!

Dedicated scrap yarn user here! Double or even triple stranding the yarn can be a big way to refresh colors you don't like, crocheting rugs and heavy duty tote bags are also popular with this method - or you can use it to crochet baskets to put your yarn in! I also love crocheting scrappy hats, scarves, and tote bags - which can make excellent gifts! Small scraps are great to use for stuffing, which is usually what I do to colors I cannot hope to use up or rehome. If something exists like it in your area, seeking out fiber-crafts groups and seeing if they want to take any of it off your hands is also a great option. Hope this helps!

Schools for young children often accept small amounts of yarn for arts and crafts classes ❤

My suggestion…if you don’t like the yarn color, donate the yarn. If you are not inspired by the yarn you have, donate all of it and start fresh with intentional purchases. Life is too short to spend time on things that don’t make you happy! Don’t feel bad about the cost of the yarn…the money is already spent…just be more intentional moving forward.

I keep some (most) of my gauge swatches. Especially if it’s yarn I will probably buy again. I refer to them when I try to choose yarn for a project and when I order new yarn… and sometimes as a gauge swatch for a new project (but don’t tell anybody… you’re not supposed to do that 😅)

Tiny baby stash xD I have had a shopping stop for 4 years now, and I still have 3 chests full. And overflow baskets.

Best of best!!!!!!!

In terms of what to do with the gauge swatches: I've seen people make small bags. Don't know if that's your style, but I know ravelry has a pattern called Swatch Bag by Skaberglæde Maria if you need inspiration. Personally, I just unravel them and use the scraps as stuffing for amigurumi. Best of luck :)

Hello from Swansea, Illinois. My daughter and granddaughter are in the process of organizing my knitting room and I am looking forward to see how they do it. Considering that I just moved into a new home and everything is in boxes and containers. They have to unpack everything and put it away.

Try 9" circulars (or magic loop) for socks. I have made many socks, but would never have tried if I had to use DPNs. Also, I strongly recommend the crazy sock lady 's sock tutorials and patterns. Happy Knitting.

Jillian Eve has great resources for different yarn types as well as spinning info. I’ve found learning how yarn is made has really helped de-mystify it all and clarify things ❤

Hihi, I have been trying to find your Instagram, do you have one? Recently found your channel, and it is fun to watch! This makes me want to do another knitting challenge of myself again soon!😅

Suzanne Bryan have a video about tubular and italian bind off thank maybe can help you, because she instructs to knit the last rows with a smaller needle to avoid the too loose ribing. Fun video :)

I jumble between reading a book or watching a video that plays in the background. Love to binge a series while knitting. I made a whole sweater while watching The Nanny. My recent knitting companion has been video essays from folks like Mina Le.

Do you happen to be a Slavic language speaker? Your English is perfect but some familiar intonations tend to pop in from time to time.

What a productive weekend! Nice work👍

For substitutions, Wool, needles, hands has a good video where she goes into things that I didnt hear about before like type of spin/yarn construction and how it can affect the fabric along with more general pointers on substitution as well. The channel untwisted threads does pretty detailed reviews and comparisons of yarns, so you may be able to find some of the yarns available to you there and how they compare to other yarns Otherwise, or if you've already seen those videos, I find that knitting a larger swatch than usual (about double) lets me compare the look and drape of the fabric to the sample photos, as well as a more accurate gauge measurement. This doesn't really help when shopping, though 😔

If knitting becomes a chore and not a joy, it is time to stop.

Thank you for your inspiring and very informative video. I stumbled upon it and did not regret watching. Regarding socks, I’ve been knitting since 2001(probably before you were born) and I’ve yet to knit my first pair of socks!! But I’ve just gotten my first socks pattern this second, now….from handmade by Florence or Florence Miller on ravelry. It’s her petal drop socks and you could get it for free. Includes KZbin video, it’s knitted using two circular needles. It has cables too 👍best of all, it is suitable for beginners. Another thing I’m curious to know is, are you a loose knitter? If you are, I would recommend you trying to go down a needle or two sizes and you’ll avoid holes in your knitting. Another thing I want to say is, don’t avoid colourworks, they are the easiest and really fun to do, if you don’t mind a bit of fiddling with twisting yarns. Not anywhere a lot as when you try to knit intarsia or fusion knitting. Stranded knitting is easy and fun, just remember not to pull on the yarn too tightly at the back. There was a lot I want to mention but I’ve forgotten it now. Anyway, happy knitting. Ps: you have achieved more in knitting in a short time than what I’ve achieved in two decade so big pat on your back 👏 I still dare not venture into that cardigan by kutovakika or done any brioche or lace knitting 🤦‍♀️😂

You have some really good goals for 2024 - challenging, but also totally doable, I think. It is also smart to make room for some creative freedom, just in case your plans change! (Also, your coffee mug is very cute.)

I'm so impressed that you made so many items in your 1st year of knitting. It looks like you learned A LOT and ended up with a few finished projects that really work well for you, and even the projects that you don't care for were valuable learning experiences.

My advice, start with the Pride and Pearls-you seemed most excited for it, it’s a very special design and I think it will help you clarify some of the other potential ideas you have mentioned. Happy knitting!!

IMO you should get a set of DPNs to try when knitting small-circumferences ie socks. You might prefer the magic loop (which requires a really long circular), but I found I often prefer the DPNs, especially when you get to the toes and heels where it’s very small. IOW give yourself the chance to experiment.

Okay 😊

Thanks for showing us your first year knitting journey! I think compared to the Sunday sweater and a few I made in my first year, you made great achievements! I started with Banul Story as well😉 Btw I think your Ingrid sweater looks beautiful, I’ve never seen a light, breezy version for spring/autumn! 👍👍👍 I think I’ll knit that Love Letter top as well, looks so pretty 💗

Knitting in a cafe in Jeju sounds like a dream ❤

Lovely idea! This video was recommended by KZbin. For color work, Porcelain Sweater is not the easiest, because I heard it involves purling with colorwork. Twinkle by Midori Hirose is a great beginner friendly color work pattern. Good luck 👍 Btw, hello from Seoul, Korea! 😊

Wow! I love how ambitious and brave you are! Doing cables and stitch patterns on your 1st year of knitting? Amazing. My first sweater definitely looked 10x worse haha. I am slowly working my courage to finally start the ingrid sweater. Hope it turns out as good as yours x

I only knit socks with magic loop bc I always got ladders when using DPNs :/. I also knit both socks at once bc it ensures both are the same length and that I’ll actually finish the 2nd one. 😂 hope you have fun with them!

Hello from San Diego, I just watched the Norwegian Knitter making her Porcelain sweater and the Camisole #9 both good choices, I knitted 2 Salty sweaters from Kika, they were really easy to knit, I knit my socks with 5 DPN, its easier for me since I grew up using them, DRK knits has a lot of amazing sock patterns, and Purl Soho has really awesome patterns for socks, most are free, I also made the Sofie scarf, from Petite Knits, another great designer, highly recommend

A good resource for sock knitting is The Crazy Sock Lady on KZbin and also on Ravelry. She has tutorials for using double points, magic loop, using 2 circulars, and 9 inch circulars.

whats the name on the pattern for the scarf your boyfriend did "steal"?

You can knit socks on circular needles you can always use magicloop on every pattern even if it dos not say. If you do this you split the stiches in half instead of in 4. hopefully this will help you

The crazy sock lady has great tutorials for basic socks Also a good utuber to checkout is @mostly knitting. She is great at knitting maths. Her explanation of how to adjust a pattern based on your swatch. I use vests a lot in winter as a layering piece. I like fitted vests that i can wear under sweaters and jackets so that as i warm up working on the farm i can take things off but keep my core warm. Enjoy your knitting 🎉

Really enjoying your videos. You are so charming. I also knit socks magic loop and earthtones girl is amazing. I would suggest doing toe up for your first sock so you can try it on as you go. “My” favourite mindless knit is a vanilla sock and it’s portable!

Glad I found your channel! I just started knittig❤

I love vests cause I wear a lot of blouses and shirts with collars and then a vest / short sleeve top over them. Or you could wear a thin long sleeve or turtle neck under them. I wear this combo a lot in Fall here in germany were I live. This is not too warm indoors but keeps you cozy on your upper body outside with a jacket over it. So for me vests are really fun as a layering piece and they add colour and texture / more interest to my outfit. 😊

Crazy Sock Lady and Earthtones Girl both have excellent step by step videos for beginner socks.

CRAZYSOCKLADY videos on KZbin are perfect for your very first sock!! She kindly has versions with different needle options too (DPNs, magic loop, 9” circulars) Have fun!! <3

I just finished the weekender! it knit up pretty quickly and i love the fit. i will say take some care with gauge, mine grew a LOT with blocking and i wish i had sized down.

I knit socks with magic loop circular needles. I don't like double pointed needles for some reason :/ Socks are fun :) I don't know how much experience you have with colorwork but I would start with socks which have only a colorwork part on the top, not on the whole sock. Your tension can vary when doing colorwork and make the sock a bit tight and until you figure out that part, that would be my advice in order to not have socks that are too tight :) and that don't take too long. For example : On the fence socks by Anna Lange or Fannrem Sokker by Ninja Chickens (those are DK). I haven't done those myself but they are free. That being said, I adore the Christmas Chaos Socks and have them in my favourites thanks to you and if you do them, I would love to see the result !! For the textured sweater, have you considered also by Petite Knit The Storm Sweater or Moby ? Also the Gema by Joanna Ang, or Phaedra by Audrey Borrego.
