E02. Charlotte Makes Podcast

I am back!
Hello,
My name is Charlotte and here is where I'm going to talk about my love of knitting, sewing, photography and general making of things! I'm from Washington state and love all things made by hand. In this episode I talk about some of the knitting projects I have in the works and down the line. I'm new to making videos of ANY kind so hopefully each upload will be better than the last!

[@charmedskein]

I've really enjoyed your first two episodes and I can't wait to see where this channel goes in the future! I especially appreciate that you have all the pattern and yarn info on the screen while you talk about each item, it saves me from having to click off to find out what you're talking about!

[@everystitch.counts]

Welcome aboard! Thanks! Yes I think I like the combination of mention the yarn type briefly and then having more detailed information on the screen. Just because yarn type is important but gauge is so dependent on other extenuating factors. Excited to keep going!!!

[@janellehodgson9204]

Loved the podcast. Your projects are beautiful! It definitely inspired me. I watch podcasts for the inspiration and to see places that I haven't been but also because I don't have any knitter friends near enough to meet up with so I watch podcasts while I'm knitting because it feels like I'm knitting with a friend. You're doing great!

[@everystitch.counts]

I feel that! Excited to be starting to form a little online community here :)

[@user-jo2pg1gh5v]

You are adorable, smart, funny and informative. . I love this sweater! It is gorgeous..

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh thank you!

[@Rebecca_TRZ]

Loved both your podcasts and really look forward to more from you.

[@everystitch.counts]

More to come! Thank you!

[@ceb2737]

It’s nice to see someone new on the knitting KZbin podcasts. A ton of the original people that I used to watch turned to designing and I’m not interested in seeing just their patterns. I like to see many different makes from knitters I watch. Glad I found your episode and its a nice touch how you include the yarn and all.

[@luliknits]

I totally agree with you! So many podcasters have turned to, understandably, just share their designs but it gets a bit tedious!

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh thank you!

[@dorisenderle5857]

Good to see you again. There are thousands of us knitters out there and many of us have no knitting friends anywhere close. I live in a very rural area. Thank you for being there.

[@everystitch.counts]

Absolutely :) I’m personally very grateful for this corner of the internet. The corner where makers, artists and artisans can see other’s work and feel more connected :)

[@The-Vintage-Needlecrafter]

Oh my gosh ,yes , I've got the white blouse, nice fitting jeans and the warm reds in that yarn are amazing. Yes vintage colors for sure.❤😊

[@everystitch.counts]

It was truly and inspired fit vision!

[@serenelife3]

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this video and everything you shared with us. You have a natural and refreshing authenticity, and I will look forward to watching (while I knit) as you settle into your own unique format.

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@mywonderfulknittinglife]

Beautiful colour work sweater! I'm really enjoying your episodes. I hope you keep up with it!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@KnitDesserts]

congrats on way more than 50 subscribers! you have a great grasp on language and your passion for knitting really shines!

[@everystitch.counts]

I literally cannot believe it! Can’t wait to see you all again!

[@amandarenshaw2940]

Yay! I watched your first then found this! Was confused to start with because the name changed slightly?? And also your hair?? But as soon as it started I was chuffed to see you came back to do more. Will watch episode 3 later too. Thank you for sharing. Xx

[@lindakillick1066]

There are sooo many podcasts now that one has to get more selective, so very much appreciate that you have given thought to what is interesting and inspirational to watch. Think you have landed on a great format and I am subscribed!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you :) that means a lot. I’be been really enjoying the actual making of the videos too! So hopefully they get better for everyone with each upload :) I’m looking forward to trying and making lots of new things too. A channel related to knitting I think can be so much more than just a project recap. So many ideas to be brought to life!

[@brucemooney1277]

Hi Charlotte! Hope you’ll keep putting out videos cus I love your æsthetic. I’ll be sticking around :)

[@everystitch.counts]

I’m planning on it! You are all so nice and supportive and just what I have needed in my little life!

[@Bookupied]

Hi! I’m so happy youtube rekommenderar your videos to me, i love your knits and thoughts 🌷✨ I hope you continue. Phone videos are fine, that’s what I do. And make videos that feels fun for you!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you!! You know I would like a new camera if I keep making videos but I’m a big believer in using what you have when learning. I’ll maybe buy a better camera when I feel more confident in my camera abilities. I really appreciate your kind words:)

[@barbarah5756]

Charlotte, I am sooo glad you decided to make a podcast. I subscribed right away. We are kindred spirits, as I have no one to discuss my knitting with as well, yet love, love, love to knit and your esthetic and mine are very close. I am so in love with your Calypso Sweater and adore the colors, what a great combo! Looking forward to spending many happy hours with you, you are very inspiring! Best Wishes. Barbara

[@everystitch.counts]

This is so sweet. Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to the journey and getting to know this community as well :) I too just needed to talk about this hobby I love!

[@StarfireReborn]

I Absolutely Love Seeing Different Versions Of Similar Knits I've Made, But I Absolutely Love Seeing Things I Havent Made Yet. Thanks To Your First Videos, I Have Like 9 More Items In My Que And One Pattern In The Works 😂 I'M HOPELESS!

[@StarfireReborn]

I'm Super Excited To See How Many Comments You Have On Your Videos... People Really Like Seeing Other People, Naturally Human. Your Imperfections & Blatant Honesty Must Be Very Appealing To The Rest Of Us 💞🥰

[@StarfireReborn]

I Lived In Washington For A Bit, Bainbridge Been There, Majestic, Sequim, Port Angeles, And Port Townsend... One Was Better Than The Other, But Both Beautiful & Mysterious, I Love That Half Rainforest Terrain. Geology Is A Passion.

[@StarfireReborn]

La Bein Aimee (Ah-may) Is A Gorgeous Yarn, 💕 LOVE! Stephen West Loves Them Too.

[@StarfireReborn]

YES Jessemaed! She Is Amazing! God, I Think I Love Your Knitting Taste. Don't Ever Leave Us.

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh my goodness you are so sweet! I haven’t made anything by Stephen west but he has a couple shawls that I really think would be fun! And yes, even the less busy parts of Washington are SO beautiful! I’m working on my next video, so hope to see you soon!

[@barbararadzeviciusbondi4150]

Just found you on KZbin. Love the colours you choose. You probably won't watch me as Im 70 but I do knit with the same exuberance as you. Just a point about yarn content. Possum yarn in NZ is not ethically sourced, if something you think is important. The possum fur is sourced from dead possums who have been either killed with poison baits or metal traps. I am a knitter and quilter and I make most of my own clothes. So I use a pattern for a dress about 10 times in different fabrics and colours. Anyway, best wishes

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh my gosh I did not know that! I do care about that and had no idea. I’m not sure where the possum in this yarn was sourced from EXACTLY, so I can’t speak for it, but it’s good to keep an eye out for things like what you are talking about. Thanks for the word of knowledge!

[@moragguthrie8930]

Loved seeing all your lovely yarn purchases. Must be great touring round enjoying and sharing your craft with your Mum. Happy knitting 🧶 x

[@everystitch.counts]

Love that I get to share this great hobby with her! :)

[@Macasmum]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful work 👩‍🌾👩‍🌾👩‍🌾

[@donnagorman8942]

HI CHARLOTTE!!!!I JUST FOUND YOU TODAY!!!!YOUR PODCAST IS VERY ENJOYABLE AND AWESOME TO WATCH!!!!!THE CALYPSO TOP YOU MADE IS A BEAUTIFUL UNIQUE WORK OF ART!!!!!THE COLORS YOU USED ARE SOOO PRETTY TOGETHER!!!! BECAUSE OF YOU I AM GOING TO BUY THE PATTERN!!!!! YOUR YOKE LOOKS LIKE A PAINTING!!!!! I SUBSCRIBED TODAY !!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF AND LOVE OF KNITTING WITH US!!!!! ❤ DONNA

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh my goodness if you have Ig tag me so I can see how it’s coming along! I can’t wait until mine is finished and it’s cool enough to wear! Thank you for the kind words :)

[@dorisenderle5857]

Thank you for keeping the photos up longer. So many put them up so quickly that we can barely see them.

[@everystitch.counts]

Of course!

[@josielinda61]

Just came across this channel today, watching both your first and now this second video. I'm always so pleased to see young people pick up one of these most fulfilling hobbys under the sun like knitting, crochet, sewing and similar creative things. Obviously your mother has done a great job teaching you the basics about knitting for up to this day I did not know of anyone who was that successful with their very first projects. Your sweaters look so great on you and by the way - you and I share the love for the same colors. When you said that if there was one colour palette you could stick with for the rest of your life and showed this combo of three colors - I could not agree more. Anyway, I can assure you that you were already successful in being an inspiration. I totally like your way of talking and presenting yourself, I love your deep thoughts about what really matters in life and subscribed right away, looking forward to see you and your crafty projects develop. Greetings from an old lady fellow knitter from overseas in Germany.

[@everystitch.counts]

My goodness hello Germany! Thank you so much for the kind words! They mean so much to me and they are so encouraging! My mom has done and AMAZING job teaching me!

[@julylo755]

Your Calypso is magic!!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much! 😭

[@juliekraft6429]

Love the podcast!!! I have the juniper moon farms cumulus and I am making Caitlin Hunter's camp Wilkerson wrap. Love the fabric so far and the yarn has been enjoyable so far. Using colors... hollyhock, pearl, sweet pea, and berry medley. Can't wait for the next episode!

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh see that sounds really soft and pretty! How has it been in your hands?? I found myself needing to take constant breaks because it was so hard on my hands!

[@juliekraft6429]

@@everystitch.counts no pain. I am a very loose continental knitter

[@jacquiejy]

Your projects are really fun to see and your conversation is fresh and honest and very real. I hope you continue to post! Cheers!

[@everystitch.counts]

More to come! Thank you :)🎉

[@rachelmitchell2144]

Oh my goodness! I’m going back to watch your first episode now! This was so fun. You have a great voice for podcasting. Some people are really interesting, but their voices are really hard to listen to for any length of time. Not their fault, obviously, but it makes it hard for the person listening/watching. You have a good combo of Content and a nice voice. 😉 I definitely think your vertical slides to the right look better than the horizontal ones. The horizontal ones kind of block you a good bit and it’s a little jarring. But excited to see what style you develop over your next episodes. The projects you have planned are just really neat and inspiring and yeah. Yay for the algorithm that popped you up in my feed.🤣 Cheers and good luck! 🧶💚🤓 Oh, and the chef’s kiss and the outfit imaginings… 😘 **chef’s kiss** 😆

[@everystitch.counts]

Totally agree on the vertical images. I tried a couple different ways of doing it and couldn’t decide so I left both think people might comment their preference. Thank you so much for the support! *chefs kiss*

[@maureenwilliford8985]

Never be afraid of experimenting with your own creative impulses. I’ve “winged” several things simply because I’ve found a stitch pattern that intrigued me and they’ve turned out to be some of my favorite makes. You have enough experience to know what fits you stitch count wise, length wise, etc., so go ahead and experiment. I’ll love seeing the results. Also, the Telvinen sweater is so fabulous, I can’t wait to see your version of it.😊

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! I have a few ideas and just need to take the plunge!!!

[@Anji2866]

I happened upon your podcast and enjoyed seeing your projects and listening to your thoughts about why you want to do this. Thanks

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@annettebowersox1976]

I didn’t want to make the ranunculus top because everyone has making it. I gave in and made one….I love making it!! Mostly knitting on KZbin helps understand some of the stitches. I am on my third one. The red yarn would make nice one with quarter length sleeves. ❤

[@everystitch.counts]

I have that in my queue!

[@Sharon-ov6ft]

So glad you gave in and made the Ranunculus! Now you know how much we all love that pattern and that you can't make just One! I'm on my 6th. Different yarns, different look!🦋

[@Kre8tif]

You’re doing a great job. Keep sharing your joy in knitting to remind us of what’s to love about this passion of ours. ❤😊

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! Will do!

[@suzieqknitz3118]

You are doing great! You are a great knitter too! Make sure to ask folks to hit the subscribe and like button so that you get recommended more on KZbin. Maybe do it across the bottom or side of the screen till your numbers go up :). Takes a lot to do what you are doing!!

[@HG-vd5vs]

Hello Charlotte, I enjoyed your podcast too! I like your expression and how you talk about our hobby! And the choice of the garements is wonderful, they inspire me to do the same. I am looking forward to see more of you, and hope my English is understandable, therefore I'm German and speak English rarely ;) . Lovely knitting greetings from Germany ❤

[@everystitch.counts]

You’re English is amazing! Nothing to feel self conscious about :)

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Great video! I was knitting while watching and loved how calming your voice was. You select beautiful yarns and projects.

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@sandracroley9784]

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 😊. I love how genuine you are. I want to knit the Calypso using Rowan Felted Tweed. I'm going to wait until I'm at a shop so I can see the colours in person. I look forward to your next episode ❤

[@everystitch.counts]

You are to sweet!

[@nadinedetain6765]

Who could have thought that Calypso sweater could be so gorgous ?? I had a look on Instagram and did not see one tempting make. Your make will be a marvelous advert for the pattern, no doubt.

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you!❤

[@rrichardson340]

You cut your hair since we last saw you. Looks nice. Love the knitted top. Your knits are really nice.

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much🎉

[@annel0150]

So happy to see episode two pop up! Finding lots of inspiration- added Cara to my queue, somehow hadn’t noticed it before. Enjoy your pattern and color choices. Looking forward to seeing more. ❤

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh good! Tag me on IG when you do your cara I’d love to see it!

[@Lavendare1023]

I made a sophie scarf for my friend's birthday present and I made a sophie shawl for myself. They look so good with the i cord edge.

[@janinef66]

I’m loving all the knits you have/are making! Many I’ve not seen before which are now in my Ravelry favourites 😊 Thank you for taking the time to share

[@everystitch.counts]

I love that! Enjoy them! I’ve been really loving them so far!

[@dorisenderle5857]

You look and sound fine. Keep going.

[@Sharon-ov6ft]

Thanks for sharing your lovely projects Charlotte. I added a few of them to my future knits! Enjoyed your 2 podcast! Keep going, very informative! Thanks again! 🦋

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!

[@joandyke5776]

I really am enjoying watching your videos, they are inspiring, not too long and you tell us just enough that if I am that interested I can go and find out more by myself.. Keep doing it your way thanks also for your honesty.😊 Best wishes from the UK🇬🇧

[@everystitch.counts]

I'm so glad!

[@suzieqknitz3118]

Also tell us a little bit about yourself. Your family etc. also what you’re wearing and your necklace is beautiful!!! I love La Bien Aimee yarn!! Also, wow your mom taught you and she knits! You should have her on one episode!! :)

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh man didn’t even think about talking about what I was wearing 😅 that’s a good tip though! I wish I could remember where my necklace is from but I bought it at a makers market years ago and I don’t remember the name! But I’m a big fan of metal work :)

[@salomeelizabeth6026]

Lovely knitting pieces..I just purchased the Calypso pattern.

[@kathleencapson5838]

Thank you so much for another great episode!!

[@everystitch.counts]

Thanks for watching!

[@sylviaanderson4294]

You have such a wonderful sense for color! When you showed the Black Cat sweater that you started, it was so gorgeous that I paused the video and went to Ravelry to check it out. If I had seen the pattern there first, I would not have been so enthused as your colors were so much more to my taste than the ones there (they were pretty, but yours were knockout!) Keep up the videos, you’re doing great! Incidentally, the iPhone video and sound is perfectly fine!

[@everystitch.counts]

That means so much to me! Color scares me a bit because I am always worried it will end up being “to much” or something I don’t want to wear. So, thank you! I had the same experience. I saw someone’s color combo and was so inspired!

[@pamelaj1226]

You are adorable, smart, funny and informative. 🙏🏽

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh my gosh so sweet. Haha thank you!

[@bonniereece6738]

Charlotte, enjoying the pop-up windows with project info. I want to know what you have learned from each thing you are working on. Like your new hair style.

[@everystitch.counts]

Great suggestion!

[@soniaboudeau2140]

Bonjour de France😊, très joli vos ouvrage, je me suis abonnée pour vous suivre. A prochainement🖐️🌹

[@everystitch.counts]

Bonjour! J'espère que cela ne vous dérange pas, mais j'utilise Google translate pour répondre! C'est tellement incroyable que vous soyez en France! J'adorerais visiter un jour! Cela signifie tellement pour moi que vous avez regardé et apprécié l'épisode. A bientôt!

[@kimhallson9579]

I enjoyed your podcast Thank you

[@everystitch.counts]

So glad!

[@sandras2479]

I love this sweater! It is gorgeous.

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you! 😊

[@ludouglas1]

Hopefully we get to just see your knitting and enthusiasm for designs in the future. we can't wait to see who you are and what you do. You don't need to express out loud all the ideas or machinations of creating yr own podcast. Thousands of us just DO it and we don't feel the need to express every little detail. I'm pretty sure you've watched enough podcasts to know what ppl do with text boxes etc etc. we dont need to know how you think you might go about every gritty detail. That's personal to you. .just do it.

[@StarfireReborn]

Or Possibly This Is HER Channel... And She Can Critique, Log, Detail Anything She Wants? This Has Already Been Deemed Basically A Video Diary, A Video Record Of Her Progress & Process. It's Chill.

[@everystitch.counts]

I hear all the comments from people. I appreciate the thoughts and suggestions. To be honest I’m not sure what the channel will turn into but for now yes, it is going to be maybe a bit more “video diary” of my creative journey with many things I creatively find enjoyment and value in :) I hope there is value in it for the people who watch the process :)

[@yuetng4648]

Your tank top looks great on you! It fits you so well. What size did your mom knit? Also I love your haircut. It looks so great on you 🌸

[@everystitch.counts]

Thank you so much!! I believe she knit the medium!

[@lizzyp1414]

Can you share info on the pattern you're wearing? And the yarn as well? It looks fantastic, I love it :)

[@everystitch.counts]

Hi! It is the “Big Wave” by Heidi Kirrmaier :) I forgot to say what it was in the beginning! The yarn is by Queensland and it’s their silk/cotton blend :)

[@maker5035]

Love your style! What is the pattern for the knit cami you are wearing? It fits you fantastic.

[@everystitch.counts]

Hi! It is the “Big Wave” by Heidi Kirrmaier :) I forgot to say what it was in the beginning! The yarn is by Queensland and it’s their silk/cotton blend :)

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

Hi Charlotte, just want you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed your podcast. Should you want to talk about the details instead of putting them in the white box, that would be great for me. I am legally blind and can not see the writing in the box. I don’t expect anyone to change for me. Keep on posting videos!🌸

[@everystitch.counts]

Oh my goodness I didn’t even think about that! I can absolutely at least say the name of what I’m using :) don’t want anyone missing out on the yarny goodness!

[@worldangel7]

hi Charlotte!! are you planning to attend Flock Fiber Festival in Seattle in August?

[@everystitch.counts]

Hi! I didn’t even know that was happening until you asked! I’m going to try!

[@verylikecheryl]

That red Sophie scarf, though!❤ I have made two, a brown silk one and a grey cashmere. It’s crying out for a luxury yarn isn’t it? Your vision of this one with a white shirt sounds delectable.

[@everystitch.counts]

It really is. I can’t wait until it’s finished!
