First time watching. I’ve made 2 tonight tops for my daughter and they are so good that she can wear then under a suit for her professional job. I used Filcolana Anina and Along Alec Anna merino so they are soft,soft,soft. Love watching podcasts with people my daughters age, get lots of pattern ideas. Thanks, have subscribed

In my opinion, you're one of few people that wear black so well. The deep saturated color in some of your new makes just make the overall look very striking, give me a little bit of a girl with a pearl earring style. I can imagine with your fair skin and pink undertone, you'd be able to wear most colors, but neutral/muted colors may not be as flattering as deep saturated colors. ❤

Your knits are amazing. I really like the lulu top you have knitted what I am confused about is you said you knitted it in friends wool and kid silk but when I have looked it is an Aran weight and the pattern asks for DK. I am old knitter but I get very confused when altering these lovely yarns.
@OrsaMakes5 күн бұрын
Thank you so much for watching! 🧶 I made the normal version but went with a thicker yarn to get a tighter gauge. I found. That it worked well and I didn’t need to change needle size but I prefer a warmer fabric.

Loved your Tonight Top. Keep us posted how the yarn behaves. Can you suggest any yarn shops in Milan? I’m going there for a few days in early September.
@OrsaMakes5 күн бұрын
The yarn is great so far 👍 but I will do an update after I’ve washed and worn it a few times. My favourite yarn shop in Milan is called Lanar (it’s near Porta Venezia and very central if you’re visiting). It’s beautiful and very modern. I hope you have a great trip!

Im a new knitter, started few months ago and I invested in chiaogoo’s interchangeable needle sets. I’ve started picking up stitches by switching the needle for a Tunisian crochet hook onto my cable and it has been seriously life changing as to how much easier and tighter by picked up stitches are..
@stephanienorwicz136610 күн бұрын
I’m a new knitter too like you and find this too fascinating. Did you find a tutorial or is it something you came up with on your own? I’m assuming you pick them up with the Tunisian hook then knit them off that??

Hi Issy , love your tops, I really like slip overs, keep you warm but not overheated! I have made a few now. We had a blast of warmth but has become just warm now so should suit you well, I am in the south/west, it has been a funny ole summer 😅 Would love to. See any photo’s of you at the wedding, I hope the weather is kind to you. Excuse me I hope you don’t find me rude, have you become engaged, I noticed a ring☺️ look forward to seeing you again soon, Suze. 😊

Hi! I'm so excited about experiencing some English weather. I've noticed a mini heatwave is predicted for when we arrive but I hope it will pass. I could go for some cloud and rain at this point - it's 35 here today and I'm roasting. I will try to get some footage of my dress for the wedding. It's nice to have an excuse to get dressed up. Hahaha about the ring. It's not rude at all! It's a gift from my boyfriend's mother but not an engagement ring. I forgot I put it on that finger - but maybe one day soon! Lovely to hear from you :) I hope you're enjoying the summer.

Hello from another fellow knitter and KZbin Podcaster 😊 so glad I found your podcast. Love your style and the pieces you have knitted. Chocolate browns are one of my favorite colors. I actually own this Hobbii Wool color and it’s incredible. I love mock necks and both of your pieces are gorgeous. I want to make that slipover because I totally agree on what you said about the fit and the ease to wear. I love the top from Lily Kate but I tend to lose steam whenever I pick a project on 3mm needles 😩 I love Milan and yes everyone dresses so chic and I love the fashion energy there. Also 😂I totally agree with living for English summers. They are truly wonderful. I love being in London in summers. I’m not big on hot summers either. Thanks for sharing! Happy Knitting and enjoy your holiday in England. Oh also I subscribed 😊

Hi! So nice to meet you :) Chocolate brown is such a rich and cosy colour that always makes me happy. I hope you love whatever you make with your yarn.

Happy knitting and have a great summer!

I personally find that, in addition to the vibrancy, the temperature of the color also matters. For instance, i have noticed if a color is warm, it can't be very bright (neon) or very dusty, whereas I can pull off dustier and very vibrant cooler shades. It kind of is annoying because pink, reds, and peaches are my favorite types of colors! But I have always loved blues, so I don't feel restricted. None of this stops me from buying pastel yarn, of course 😅
@OrsaMakes21 күн бұрын
Yes! I completely agree - the vibrancy seems to be crucial. I find I'm exactly the same with vibrant cool colours and dusty blues. Ultimately, it shouldn't stop you trying any colour that speaks to you though. I'm trying to streamline things at the moment to stop my chronic indecisiveness! :)
