E01: Charlotte Makes Podcast

Hello! My name is Charlotte. I am a knitter, aspiring sewer, photographer, former chef turned corporate project manager who is giving this KZbin thing a go! I live in Washington state with my family and Australian Shepherd, "Lady".
I recently became aware of the online knitting community and fell in love with it. It was so refreshing to feel more connected to people who are into knitting, wool, handmade items and all things hand crafted as I am! I love watching vlog / podcast / process type videos of people making things, so I thought I would give it a go myself and learn some new skills along the way. Hope anyone out there is up for a STEEP learning curve, because I know NOTHING about video creation. I hope this outlet will provide me a way to connect with people who have similar interest, learn new skills, expand existing ones :)

All your sweaters are beautiful 😍 and that cardigan your mom made you I love how it looks cropped 🫶🏼

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you!! She did such a nice job :)

[@knottygiraffe]

Love the parade of sweaters. I'm completely intrigued by the Helga. Might have to make it my next project. Thanks for sharing.

[@everystitch.counts]

It's so good!

[@TheresaArsenault-xh1is]

Thks for sharing. Loved it 💙

[@everystitch.counts]

My pleasure 😊

[@deborahking7873]

I agree your sweaters are amazing.I look forward to seeing more of your videos

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@user-pi8zq4dh1l]

I couldn’t find the Helga sweater on raverly. Can you check again? Thanks.

[@paulavento7943]

Love this! You are a gorgeous knitter. (Jealous) Tell Mom, her sweater is beautiful! Paula

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@kimbernard9250]

Beautiful work! I love your newest sweater the best of all of them, though it was difficult to choose because they're all gorgeous. Your mom is clearly talented too. I love the design and material of the tank top she made, which is one of my favorite colors. I'm a crocheter, used to knit - like you, taught as a child, picked it up again in my late 20's when I was a stay at home mom to two toddlers and made a little cottage industry business of it. I toy with taking that up again but this time as a designer, rather than a pure maker. We'll see. I'm currently in the midst of making 9 blankets for Christmas gifts - 6 of 9 complete so far (one for every member of my hubby's family). I also have a table top loom which is still in its box. I'm forcing myself to leave it there until this massive Christmas project is done. So, yes, like you, I'm obsessed with knitwear. I'm fairly well accomplished with it, and I'm considering creating a channel where my niche will be design and teaching how to custom size those designs so people don't pour their hearts and time into a project only to be disappointed with the resulting fit. Good luck with your channel. I think you'll do well.

[@everystitch.counts]

That is such a big project you have going! Sounds like you are making great progress though!!!

[@kimbernard9250]

@@everystitch.counts Thank you, yes, it's a big project, but it's so rewarding to create these for our family, wrapping every stitch with a bit of love. I'm fortunate in that I have people in my life that do comprehend and appreciate the efforts that go into this type of gift.

[@nancyborgeson440]

I’ll be back! I Love knitting cabled sweaters, too.

[@kkfvjk]

Beautiful sweaters! Harrisville is actually a woolen mill, so all their yarns including Highland/Shetland are woolen spun. That’s what gives them that lovely airy fuzzy feel vs worsted spun yarns, which tend to be smoother, rounder, and heavier. Highland is worsted weight, though, so maybe that’s what you were thinking?

[@everystitch.counts]

Thanks for the info!

[@louisedesilets]

Bonjour Charlotte! Love your gray sweater and all your good choices! Me too Inga is my favorite one ! Hope see you soon!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@StarfireReborn]

My Comment Is Missing... But I Appreciate Your Podcast. In Love With That Green Colorwork Sweater. I Absolutely Understand The Wool In The Eye Catastrophe. Fortunately I Have A Rescue Cat, And His Hair Is Completely Calm, The Wool Though. 😅

[@StarfireReborn]

I Hope This Comment Stays. 🤞 Please Find The "Yule Sweater" by Anne Podlesak It's Knit In Size 7 Needles, Amazing Cables & Gorgeous!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you for the great suggestion!

Snohomish Wa here! Hi love your vid!

[@everystitch.counts]

Hello!

[@maureenwilliford8985]

I just stumbled on your 1st podcast and it’s great. It’s always refreshing to find someone who willingly talks about their mistakes, foibles, and difficulties in their knitting journey. You do beautiful work. I’ve always wanted to do an overall cable sweater but have been too intimidated so far but you’ve definitely inspired me to try, so, I thank you.😊

[@everystitch.counts]

Welcome aboard! Always here to talk about my fumbles 😂

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Wow...your knitting is gorgeous! Your pattern and yarn choices are spot on. You are a natural at podcasting.

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh my goodness thank you! ❤ so many fun things to learn and try. Hoping to film tomorrow and learn some new things with video editing. Shooting and putting the footage together is a skill all on its own and it’s TOTALLY new to me!

[@Kre8tif]

Love the Petite Knits jacket - classic, chic, and elegant.

[@everystitch.counts]

Me too. Such a good pattern!

[@sarahb4330]

Gorgeous knit wardrobe! Glad you decided to share your knitting and inspire us ❤

[@rrichardson340]

Your sweaters are amazing! very nice. Love the gray cabled one too!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!! The grey cable one is probably what I’m most proud of at the moment!

[@aaliazee]

I love the way you are bothered by your seaming! 😂

[@everystitch.counts]

Always!

[@rrichardson340]

[@everystitch.counts]

[@everystitch.counts]

Awesome! Thank you! Hopefully it’ll be here before the weekend is out!

[@user-gd3ji6mm2u]

I'm looking forward to more of your podcasts. I love your projects and am very excited to see more. I'm a lonely knitter in Arizona 😂. I haven't found my own knitting community here yet. Finding other knitters out there vlogging like you is like finding a friend. Thanks 👍

[@everystitch.counts]

Well I’m happy you are here and out there trying to find the people! This was a lot of the motivation behind starting the channel and hopefully being a place for people to feel a bit of connection :) happy you are here :)

[@the_knit_owl]

I love the story of your morgensen sweater, I hope your grandma feels more comfortable wearing it! Loved seeing your handmade wardrobe ❤

[@everystitch.counts]

I hope so too! Thank you :)

[@intuitknit]

Bravo for diving into your knitting podcast adventure. Lovely projects .

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! 😊

[@nadinedetain6765]

I love the orangy sweater, never mind the seams ! Thank you to share your makes.

[@everystitch.counts]

Fit wise it's a close tie between that one and the Billie Pullover for me! Love the fit on both, even with the mistakes!

[@aromanianknitterinnorway]

Wonderful projects, keep making episodes, I really enjoyed ❤

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@kathleencapson5838]

You cable sweaters are goals! Great podcast!

[@everystitch.counts]

Haha thank you! They are my pride and joy! As of late I have been craving simpler, and dare I say more colorful knits?? 🎉❤

[@deannaeagles212]

Great first episode. Going for episode 2 now. Just wanted to congratulate you on your entry into the podcast world. I enjoy watching knitters from all over the world. It's gratifying to see the age range of happy knitters. Our craft will continue!!

[@everystitch.counts]

Totally agree! I’m looking forward to filming soon!

[@dianeazzopardi6269]

I'm glad you want to talk about your knitting. It's a great community to be involved with. Everyone has a different way to inspire each other. A suggestion I've done colourworķ patterns with German short rows after it. This way it lifts the back and doesn't interrupt the construction of the yoke. Onto your next episode.

[@everystitch.counts]

Yes! Thank you!

[@tracys.5143]

Hi Charlotte! What a good first video! Thanks for showing us all your sweaters - your knitting is beautiful! I really look forward to seeing more. Best wishes!

[@mywoolmitten]

Congratulations on your new podcast, you did great! Don't you love Lambs Pride for a good workhorse yarn, especially at an affordable price. Lovely knits! Also, a precious story about your Grandma's sweater ❤

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh my goodness this is so encouraging, thank you 🥹 I have two skeins of the Lambs Pride left and I’m thinking I want to do some toddler size vests with it for my friends sons!

[@mywoolmitten]

I think that sounds like a good plan!

[@cosyla1928]

Very nice. A lot to see.

[@everystitch.counts]

Hello!

[@Eva-ri1zb]

Your knits are beautiful

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! 😊

[@jenniferkluender9936]

Is there a way you can fill the screen with the picture? It kinda looks like an old tv show that doesn't fill the space. Great job on your knitting. I'm still trying to knit my first wearable sweater.

[@everystitch.counts]

Haha that was in my list of new things to learn for the next video. My sister said she could help me fill the whole screen so it doesn’t look like that 😂 learning new things all the time :)

[@charlottebruce6841]

Hi! My name is Charlotte also, and I live in Olympia WA. I'm a crocheter, though, through and through! I wish you much success with your channel.

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! I’m excited to learn and see where it goes from here :)
