An Italian Knitting Podcast Ep. 22 | Tombo Tee, Cumulus Tee, Sauble Tank, Tolsta Tees

[@Sharon-ov6ft]

Your unedited version was great! Don't waste your time, it's not needed. You have so many beautiful projects. They seem very season appropriate. Thanks for sharing!🦋

[@heatherr9201]

@anitalianknitter Totally agree…. Your free time is precious…. Edit minimally ❤

[@edeljohansson7072]

Forget editing... its more special and great to see the real you ❤

[@rebecca-72]

None of your non-edits bothered me in the least! You are charming, vivacious, quirky and fun… not to mention talented: all of your summer knits are so beautiful!! I am 100% on board with you about the cumulus tee and pure silk - a dream to knit and wear. I have one and want 3 more!! My problem is actually the time… it takes me quite long to knit that much stockinette on smaller needles. But its worth it. I was so excited to see my name flash by on your drawing, but alas, it landed on someone else. I haven’t tried Line yet. This summer I am trying a pure linen as well as the Holst Garn Coast. It is SO soft with a wonderful drape, very happy so far. I have flown numerous times on international flights and never had any kind of issue with my needles. I usually carry them in my handbag since I’ll knit while waiting, and the only thing I’ve ever been asked is an interested “oooh, what are you making”?😂 Enjoy your summer and your next holiday! I’d love to see you soon again and do not worry yourself at all about editing!!

[@pursandpawsandmore7768]

Do not waste time editing! You are doing just fine---be yourself. You are fabulous!

[@meletcl]

Always good to see you and please don't pressure yourself to post more often than you can comfortably fit into your schedule. Another issue to not fret over, there is no need to present a perfectly edited posting. Whatever "imperfections" may occur are actually charming in a way as they create a more homey atmosphere. I appreciate your aesthetic as the items you create and make are what I consider to be classic, classy and understated chic, reminds me of your countryman Armani😊

[@duvitoo]

I very much enjoyed your podcast. The extensive editing is not necessary. I enjoy watching the natural you so much more. I loved seeing your three completed cumulus tees. I have purchased this pattern and hope to begin it soon and your completed garments give me encouragement and inspiration to get started. Thanks so much!!!

[@julieknitsandspins]

Your projects are Gorgeous!!! And hello Sandes Garn???? Here is your perfect spokesperson!!!!!!! I will now be ordering Line as Francesca has sold me on all its virtues 🥳 BTW lots of podcasters don’t edit and are fun to watch. Don’t let a silly thing perfection stop you from making a video for us. All would agree we love to see when you’ve shared another episode ❤

[@allaschriefer350]

Great episode, don't even think about putting much time into editing :)

[@deekay1641]

You are a delight to spend time with. I love the non edited version with all my heart😍😁. I get so much inspiration from from you, and I appreciate all the information you give about each project and the difficulty level of making it. I will be ordering some Sandes Garn Line immediately😁. I love the test knit top that you are working on, I will be watching for the pattern release so I can make one. Your cat is so beautiful. Take care and see you next time

[@noramcdonald2669]

I love how the things you make/design are simple and practical. You are a joy to listen to.

[@janetshepherd9062]

I love watching and listening. It was just great without editing!

[@segofibers]

Hi Francesca! I loved your laid back episode. You're always fun to follow along with. :) Don't worry about editing more things out. I didn't notice any "um's" even if they were in there. :) Personally, I think more frequent episodes would be really fun even if they're shorter. :) Have a lovely week!!!

[@hildaandrews8150]

I would certainly enjoy seeing you more often but no pressure. I watch several no edit podcasts and I don’t notice anything annoying about them. You always inspire me with your choice of patterns and yarns. Just what I like!

[@TheSolipsist0]

No need for more editing. Went very well and I enjoyed watching as usually.

[@claudiasmith6447]

Love this unedited podcast, makes me feel like I’m sitting across from you enjoying some knitting time. Love your projects, too! Classic designs & lovely choice of yarns.

[@blackgirlsknitpurl4534]

Loved the unedited version. I would appreciate seeing your videos every 2 weeks. Take care!

[@janet_Luv2_Knit]

Really enjoyed this episode. No need to edit as before. It’s perfect this way. Great projects. Enjoy your summer.

[@rachelmitchell2144]

Love your longer episodes, and this less edited version was totally fine! Save yourself some time. 😉💚🧶

[@eileensanford6086]

I think having an episode every two weeks would be great. Your personality really shines through in this episode making you seem more at ease. Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects!

[@artjoysusans]

You did great, less editing is fine. I’d enjoy seeing you every 2weeks, but you do you. Suses💜💜💜

[@theknittystew]

Editing is my nemesis!! TOTALLY get it. What a great episode - beautiful makes! I think you may have convinced me that I need a Cumulus Tee! I love how you try on your WIPS for us!! Thanks Francesca. Have a wonderful rest of your summer. :)

[@SylvieBoulanger-e3p]

This is a great podcast. Don't waste your time editing - maybe we'll see you more often?

[@woolseeknitting]

I've been out of the loop of our world of knitting podcasts this summer but clicked as soon as I saw you upload! Heavy or lighter editing, you are always a joy :)

[@heatherr9201]

Yes any episode is a good one with you… thanks for all you share….and your unedited version was great!

[@lynnmcentire4014]

I would like your podcasts any time!

[@birchandlily]

Sucha wonderful video Francesca! Loved spending some time with you and your knits this afternoon!

[@Da_knits]

Inspiring as always!!! 🤩 Now I need a Diamond lace ruana!!!

[@EmoryLuceBaldwin]

It was a great episode, thank you. I enjoy the sense that we’re just sitting around and chatting (even though you do all the talking 😅). And I also think you should feel completely free to schedule these whenever you want to. I appreciate the gift you are sharing us with your time and attention, as well as your lovely knitting.

[@Barbara-vz2bd]

Your projects are beautiful. AND - that green top is GORGEOUS on you!! With the wider straps - so pretty! I wouldn't change anything it. So sweet.

[@bettykesemeyer4628]

Oh how I love your podcasts. I don’t think editing is necessary at all. If you do what is more fun for you I think you will want to do it more. ❤ Until next time.

[@annarellamakes]

I've just binge watched all your podcast episodes and I've got to the end. Sad!! Loved them all! Another vote for more frequent episodes, please! And don't stress about the editing. This episode was great. See you soon! xx

[@glofdahl1733]

Thank you for a great podcast! It is perfect - No further editing needed!

[@debrascott8341]

Hello back to you. No further editing headaches! This one was perfect! Love all your projects, especially your version of the lace ruana.

[@heathermato2779]

You are so enjoyable to listen to that you can publish an episode every week, even with no knitting and I'd listen. I just finished my fourth Tolsta Tee, I now need to make the Cumulus Tee. I love a v-neck.

[@Vivcatkemp]

Loved this episode! I always enjoy whenever you post take 2 weeks or 4, it’s ok 😊 I really appreciate your warm weather knits, because I live in a climate that easily hits 35c in high summer and let’s not talk about the humidity 🥵 so I appreciate the tips on yarn choices! Have fun at the beach!

[@annstaudt7613]

Your videos are enjoyable - your knits are beautiful

[@hookedonaard]

I love the unedited version! Keep it up :) Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful makes. Your Cumulus Tees are an inspiration - I am adding it to my 'want to make' list right now!

[@josiejocreates]

I didn’t mind your unedited version one bit! It was so fun catching up with you, Francesca! I love all your knitted tees - they’re very inspiring 🤩

[@joangilligan3709]

I enjoyed your podcast a lot!No further editing is required .You are such a talented,creative knitter.I have some Knitting for Olive pure silk which will soon become a Tolsta Tee-inspired by you!

[@knitsinpurple2005]

Thank you for another great podcasts. No need to worry about editing - it was perfect. As far as how often you podcast - you do what fits into your life. I will watch you regardless how often or how long!!!!

[@nathalieleroux5349]

How can I have missed your podcast!! Loved it! Bravo!!!

[@maryoconnell35]

Thank you Francesca, I love your finished products and your works in progress, also I love that you did not edit this episode, you are so funny and you have a sunny disposition, stay well and enjoy your Summer.☘☘

[@mrscraftalot]

Lovely episode! You definitely don’t need to be editing. I love seeing all your makes and have yarn for a Cumulus tee because of your enthusiasm for the pattern!

[@shirleydotts8472]

The two finished short-sleeved sweaters that you wore during the video look lovely on you. They drape perfectly! I will definitely be making those sweaters. Your sweaters in progress are also lovely, and you can tell that they'll be great for summer. I didn't see anything wrong with your video.

[@lyndaannibal8990]

This is my first time watching you and I totally enjoyed it. No need to edit, it’s nice to see that none of us is perfect. As far as I’m concerned, this was a perfect podcast. I love all of your knits and wips. You are very inspiring, also I just ordered some Sandness Garn Line. Thanks for a great podcast.

[@irityogev2980]

Great seeing you again I started to wonder, where have you been 😊 ….glad to see you are O. K. I love love your videos…edited/unedited…it doesn’t matter because you bring your lovely personality and Italian accent (which I adore)to it. It is so so cute and enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the future. Thanks for taking the time and sharing. You are an inspiration to us all💞

[@lvt2050]

love Florence! one of my fav knitters online! thank you!

[@Tracy56781]

This is my first time watching one of your podcasts and I have subscribed, I loved the less edited version it's natural and fun to watch. 😊

[@joanneyoung1081]

Loved all your projects and they all fit you so well and look great on you. Thank you.

[@thebooknitter]

Your tees look so polished ❤ I really would love to wear them myself good work

[@paulinebosch6929]

Hello Francesca, I am a new viewer and enjoyed your “unedited” podcast! Your projects are beautiful and you have me convinced to try knitting a summer tee using Sandes Garn. Looking forward to seeing more of your lovely projects in the future…unedited😊. See you in two weeks.

[@bettyfockler551]

Unedited ? Who cares 😁. Didn’t need it. I loved this episode with all your summer knits!!! Short or long episodes, doesn’t matter. Yours are so enjoyable. And “words” … remember most Americans speak only one language so you are envied to be at least bilingual. Your English is great! Your projects look so good on you! Thanks for a fun episode. PS I love that your project bags “host” your projects! I’m going to start using that phraseology ‘cause it’s so cute!!

[@Zwetschkenzwerg]

So glad to see a new episode 🎉❤🎉 Thank you 😃 I love the video with all my heart❤

[@kimcummings624]

Really enjoy your podcast, I wouldn't worry about editing. I am definitely casting on your shawl TODAY, thank you for sharing! 😊

[@stitchingmatters6184]

Another fabulous podcast! I never get tired of seeing the projects you've made with the olive greens...all gorgeous! (And a bonus for me, you included a picture of the An Italian Summer Scarf that I knit!!! Thank you! 💥)

[@sabinebauerle7655]

I love your podcast and as far as I go your editing is perfect. As in September I’ll be going to Kreta I will do this diamond lace Ruanda as well, thanks for the inspiration. I did the testknit for the sauble tank as well and must say I loved it too. Looking forward to your next episode!

[@Lisamakes]

I bought the Cumulus top last summer, but I should have bought the tee. I love the Pure Silk yarn. It’s so dreamy to wear.

[@clairedeare1139]

Thanks for keeping me company 😊 Ive been knitting on my first Tolsta, it’s like knitting with a lovely friend in you. I prefer ‘less edited’ you 😊 be well my dear and see you again soon x

[@Tarasknittingdiary]

I’m so glad I found your channel; I’ve been binging all your videos. Makes me inspired to make my own 🙈😆

[@carolinekestler3753]

I just found your Podcast and really enjoyed it. I’ve subscribed and will be going back to catch up. Don’t worry about editing. Your personality and energy are wonderful!

[@lauracia1414]

Francesca, I love your episodes! You have inspired me to knit with Sandnes Garn Line and I love it (I am currently making the Peacock Tee). I agree with many of the comments: no need to edit.... you are fantastico!

[@thingingthings615]

Love your podcast and I welcome your less-edited approach. I don't even think I would have noticed with :) For icord bind-offs on Cumulus-everything I don't decrease at all! Just can't seem to get it stretchy enough otherwise.

[@ruthmcniff4765]

Great podcast just as it was 😊! The ruana has me thinking 🤔- I like the idea of something between a shawl and cardigan.

[@manon_knitting]

Love the episode ! and lovely your spontaneity ! all your projects are gorgeous !

[@cearamichalowske]

So happy to see you back! I love the unedited version of Francesca. Your Tolstas are influencing me into wanting to cast on my third...

[@bjrudin]

Love your podcast. Your English is perfect! Don't waste time editing! I was just in Italy 2 weeks ago. Ciao!

[@ColorPopKnits]

Your unedited version is fantastic! And you inspired me to knit a Cumulus Tee in Pure Silk, and I'm very happy you did. I like the result so much :-) The Tolsta Tee looks great!

[@sc00badive]

Francesca I love the Tee you're wearing. I would probably go with a higher contrast stripe, but I think the more subtle contrast is really nice, a great design choice!

[@teleuteskitty]

Thanks for another lovely episode! You totally influenced me to make a Cumulus top for my friend who has a similar body shape to you, and I was really pleased with it. ❤ Please don't fret over editing, I didn't even notice any "uhms", and really like your conversational, playful style. Regarding frequency, I would love to see your videos more often, but I think it's most important that you feel comfortable, so I wouldn't mind a mixture of shorter/longer, more/less frequent episodes, as long as it works best for you.

[@lynnmcentire4014]

All your projects are lovely. I made an Eek sweater that had a loose neckline. I did the crochet reinforcement and liked it

[@_somebitsandbobs_]

Your projects are lovely. I'm gonna bookmark some t-shirts to knit next year as rn I'm focusing on sweaters only (I'm a new knitter, and I really want nice handmade sweaters for a cosy winter, as I can sew tops easily if I need to). I love your color choices. No further editing needed. It's perfect the way it is 😊

[@thewoollyworker]

I loved that video, you seem so happy with your projects and all those tees ! Like you, I usually prefer either full t-shirt sleeves, or small straps, but not the wide ones. I also feel like if this "unedited" you, then by all means, save up your time, and don't worry about it !! I'd also prefer more uploads, even if they were shorter, but no pressure at all of course ! Looking forward to the free accessory pattern :D

[@veradoling79]

good podcast. no need to edit...you did very well. I love longer episodes, as I'm knitting!

[@Susan-yb3hh]

Yes, 2 weeks. You don’t need to do an edit. You are perfect.

[@bluejay5531]

ciao Francesca! lovely podcast as usual! I love the tees, I was just looking at Florence's tee, except that I need a more open neckline for my body tipe other wise I would give it a go, i love better in V necks, or scoop or square, open necklines. You should be sponsored not only by Sandnes but also by knittingforolive! at some point I am going to try both and it's because of you, still on a no buy yarn though...I am definitely going to make myself a cumulus tee, not sure when, until I finish my current projects it will be time for autumn winter stuff...take care and do whatever rhythm suits you best with the videos! 💚

[@trudydelich2920]

I like them unedited. Don't worry about editing. Your content is great.

[@debiedwards2860]

Hi I have made The Italian Summer Scarf in Patons Washed Haze cotton yarn and love it! Thank you so much for the pattern 🧣💜

[@wooling.around]

I love the Lanta bag!! I knitted it a few weeks ago and it was such a lovely project

[@henrikssonlina]

All your amazing projects kind of makes me want to knit summerknits 😏😏 also, very happy to see that you're actually using the green line (I knew you would! 😍), it would have lived in my stash FOREVER. 😂

[@millahism]

I feel you so much with the editing dilemma, I have the same ! But I've been watching more carefully what other podcasters do, and most of them don't bother editing and I don't hear the "errrm" and "uuuh" as long as I'm not paying attention, so really I think most people don't care 👌🏻 your time is definitely better spent knitting (or anything else) than editing ahah. Love your tombo tee btw ! I really need to cast one on soon !

[@mhairicameron9764]

Your upload being so much joy to my day!

[@mhairicameron9764]

[@ullamullis8544]

I enjoyed your episode so much and really like your enthusiam and lovely summer tees 😊 Being Danish it’s interesting to see how Petiteknit is hot in Italy as well.

[@annarellamakes]

PS: Forgot to add that you've totally inspired me to make the Half + Half Triangles Wrap by Purl Soho. I LOVE your grey/yellow version. I just need to decide on what yarn to use now! x

[@coffee.and.stitches]

Your cumulus tee collection is very inspiring, I love all the different colours 🥰 I also don't mind the unedited version of you podcast 💫

[@ptoste1]

Ao many works on progress can you work on?!?!🤣😂😜 amazing 🤩 loved everything! I just work on one project at a time. I need to close the task. 😂😂😂 love from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@AnItalianKnitter]

I wish I was the same as you and was able to focus on one at the time and get it done!

[@mytrueserenity5666]

I love your podcast and wondered if you ever podcast in Italian?

[@MrMonet111]

Always enjoy your podcasts 😊 Bet your arm muscles are from lifting the kitty and your baby😅

[@Puella63]

We share some “likes”. Last week I biyght 2 patterns: the Tolsta Tee and the Tombo Tee. My favourite top is my Cumulus Tee and I’m going to start a second one soon. Crochet is great too but beware: I recently fell into the Amigurumi rabbit hole. It’s totally addictive, but it would make your daughter very happy.

[@bulkarn]

I love your videos edited and unedited.

[@AnItalianKnitter]

You’re so kind! 🙏❤️

[@lenamarialinder]

Keep it on as it is now! It is lovely and I hope you got less editing this time. I like it anyway very much!

[@ohdearnadia5369]

Whilst watching this video, I'm knitting an Anker Tee by Petite Knit with Sandes Garn Line in Twilight (a lovely purplish blue).

[@rosai.4371]

Ciao Francesca! Felice di averti trovata! Mi ha incuriosita molto il discorso del rinforzo ad uncinetto per riprendere un po' l'avvio delle maglie. Attualmente sto lavorando a un progetto che sembra avere lo stesso tuo problema, ma non l'ho ancora bloccato perché non terminato. Mi dai qualche indicazione? Anche semplicemente come cercarlo sul web per trovare tutorial o simili. Grazie mille. Primo video seguito e tua nuova iscritta all'istante! 🎉

[@AnItalianKnitter]

Chiedo perdono per il ritardo! Magari nel frattempo hai già risolto/trovato, comunque io ho seguito le indicazioni in questo video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2q6iZiDnLyCmqs Good luck!

[@Lisamakes]

Um, your arms are stunning, top to bottom.

[@dorisenderle5857]

Your kitty is lovely/ handsome?

[@AnItalianKnitter]

He’s very handsome (and chubby) 💛

[@juliab.871]

i liked this episode, dont edit in future

[@colettemoolman4410]

You didn't come across as frazzled! The episode was fine, you don't need long hours of editing!
