I think the Camille set is beautiful. They would make beautiful gifts as well as the slotted scarf. Thanks for the ideas.

Congrats on your engagement! I am also getting married this year and I feel you regarding the white and cream. For the longest time I was very much on the fence about even wearing cream for the wedding... :) I have at least one white garment that is not for my wedding day outfit on my list for this spring...and then I need to make my outfit (which will be low key, but is still work, I guess...)
@OrsaMakes
@OrsaMakes 2 күн бұрын
Oh wow! Congratulations to you too :) White and cream can feel intense! I found it so strange when trying on dresses because I'm quite pale but I settled on something ivory. I'm keeping it top secret until the big day. Good luck with your white garment - I'm on the hunt for bridal patterns so do let me know if you find any :)

Yay, engaged, how exciting! Your plans look lovely and would suit you well, I'm sure. I made a Louvre as one of my first sweaters. I wear it often, but only around the house as it streched quite a bit with wear. But that might be my fault. I just think that patterns that start with the collar get like this more often, so maybe it would help to pick up stitches for the collar afterwards. It is a beautiful sweater anyway and you would look great in it!

Thank you for your feedback on the Louvre! I'm sure mine will stretch a bit too because the alpaca in the Lima can be tricky - I will have to investigate ways to get it to hold its shape. If not, then we will be matching with our house sweaters :) At least I will feel a bit more chic when working from home!

Yes to the measurement info please! I always find that information incredibly helpful. When I'm online shopping I sometimes find it frustrating when they don't include the models proportions and the size she's wearing. When knitting, it's not like online shopping where, if an item doesn't fit, you can just return it. But you've potentially waisted SO much time and effort on something that doesn't fit the way you wanted and perhaps, had you known a bit more about the garments fit, you could have made alterations while knitting to get a better fit in the end. Anyway, thanks for the video share. You always bring new patterns to my attention that I've not seen yet and look so pretty. Great place to come for inspo.

I will be sure to include my details in my next video description. I feel exactly the same about sizes when online shopping - I'm unfortunately cursed with a completely difference size in tops and bottoms which makes buying a dress super challenging. Thank you for watching :)

Congrats on your engagement! I have just cast on the Maggie cardigan in a cotton yarn as it is still summer here in NZ. It doesn't get very hot though, but I thrifted some cotton blend and wanted to make it. If it turns out the way I want it to, I may make another in a cashmere (also thrifted!).

Hi Isy! What type of stitch will you use for the triangle scarf? I tried to make one in stockinette stitch, but no amount of blocking prevented it from curling under.

Ahhh this are both so stunning! I just checked out the lulu top on petite knit and it looks like yours is shorter than the one on their pics (it looks like after the increases at the bottom front they knitted straight down for a bit before the ribbing) was that in the instructions or did you decide to cut it short?
@OrsaMakes
@OrsaMakes 10 күн бұрын
Sorry for the slow reply! I didn't initially see your message. The gauge for mine was slightly different lengthways so I couldn't make the bottom of mine as long as hers while still fitting my proportions. The final body length from the shoulder to the bottom (including rib) is about 50cm. Hope that helps! :)

Happy new year, love your style as always ❤ I didn't have any 'formal training' but I love wrapping presents too, and people tend to like it when I go for something a little bit more unusual or special 😁. If it's not too much wondering if sometimes you can share some photos on your Instagram of your favourite gifts wrapped

Happy new year! Unfortunately, I didn't record any of my wrapping this year but it's a fun idea for a reel on Instagram. I will think about making one next time I have an occasion to wrap for! I am by no means a wrapping 'expert' but I do enjoy it. I would love to see your unusual wrapping :)
