emma's knitting podcast ep. 7 | luna tee, moby sweater, & hand-knit eras tour costume???

[@denisewilliams7657]

Loved your video! And I’m glad you showed your ‘cabled’ Moby sweater as I’ve been wanting to knit that and so you’ve inspired me. I started the Beatnik a while ago but never finished it but now I think the Moby might take the place of that one.

[@midsummerknits]

thank you so much!! also YES i love the design of the moby sweater, it's a great one 🤩

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

looking forward to following your eras tour costume progress!

[@midsummerknits]

thanks so much!! 🥰🥰

[@RugerKnits]

I'm incapcable of watching TV and knitting at the same time so kudos!

[@midsummerknits]

haha the way i can't tell if you actually don't watch TV while knitting or just wanted to put the secret word in your comment 😆 but i would recommend starting with really basic knits like pure stockinette stitch in the round! and i still definitely pay a little less attention to the TV show while knitting since i sometimes need to look down 😅

[@grace97]

I just finished a Moby sweater for my husband and immediately cast one on for myself! I cant get enough of the cables!

[@midsummerknits]

haha i love the design so much!! thank you for watching 🥰

[@kris7893]

ahhh as a fellow slow knitter, your finished Moby sweater makes me wanna cast on another cable knit sweater or a cardigan

[@midsummerknits]

hehe yay!! cabled sweaters are definitely more fun 😎

[@HowardKiProductions]

so cool that you live in northern california!! do you get to ride the cable cars often??

[@midsummerknits]

hahaha very clever 👀 but no i do not lol i haven't ridden a cable car since i visited SF for the first time in middle school!!

[@berry4berry]

I'm waiting on some yarn that I ordered a couple of weeks ago so I can cast on the cable packed folklore cardigan for my trip to see the Taylor's show in August in LA! Hope i can knit fast enough to get it done in time :)

[@midsummerknits]

oooh that's so exciting!! are you making the folklore color palette that the cardigan originally came in, or something different?

[@berry4berry]

@@midsummerknits Same colour palette as folklore! Couple changes to the lion brand pattern is that I'm knitting the front panels and back as one piece, mostly because I hate seaming pieces together and I made the cables mirrored on each side instead of all twisting the same direction because I am a fan of symmetry haha

[@celinek.6849]

Your eras tour Costume idea sounds very cool!! I am especially excited to about the sheer mohAir panel! The ticket sales for europe are starting at the Beginning of next week, and I'm already extremeLy stressed, wish me luck lol! And fingers crossed that you will be ablE to finish your costume in the remaining 13 days!

[@midsummerknits]

thank you so much for this lovely & very clever comment 😆 good luck on getting tickets for eras tour in europe!!

[@Monakromedesigns]

Good luck finishing your eras costume! I know you’re cableable 😉

[@midsummerknits]

hehehe very clever 😆 thank you!!

[@joannejaeger5303]

I'm swatching for Landon's cabled sweater now!! (But the yarn is quite a bit heavier than advertised....not sure if I should buy. more yarn or continue)

[@midsummerknits]

oh no, that's annoying 😭 hmm can you make a smaller size so it will still fit him?

[@joannejaeger5303]

@@midsummerknits Unfortunately, it's more complicated than just making a smaller size. My stitch gauge is too big but my row gauge is spot on, and the sweater has a small armhole depth which I think would be too small for Landon if I made the smaller size. It's got raglan sleeves and I think it'll be difficult to make the armhole depth longer without changing the circumference of the sweater. So now I'm thinking about using a different pattern...

[@midsummerknits]

@@joannejaeger5303 darn, i'm sorry 😔 hopefully you can find a different pattern where you match gauge!

[@minervan5754]

I also love Ivy! If I could design a knitting pattern based on the song, I would do a CABLEd sock in which the base colour would be grey and the cables would be ivy green….assuming colourwork cables are even possible 😅

[@midsummerknits]

oooh that sounds gorgeous 👀 i do think it would be possible but a little hard haha!!

[@figblossomdesigns]

I’ve been watching Nancy Drew while knitting the past couple weeks, has spooky mystery vibes, highly recommend! And you don’t need CABLE to watch it hahaha

[@midsummerknits]

omg i did not know there was a TV show, i only knew about the movie with emma roberts!! and hahaha so clever i love it 🤭

[@figblossomdesigns]

@@midsummerknits i think you’d like it! there’s more supernatural stuff and she’s a young adult!

[@midsummerknits]

@@figblossomdesigns i'll have to check it out!

[@EuleMarija]

It is not a big deal to unravel italian bind off ✌🏻 at the beginning it may be annoying but you get into it and the thing “flies off the needles” lol so no worries ❤

[@midsummerknits]

oooh thank you! we'll see how it goes, the last time i had to undo it i struggled a lot but maybe i was doing something wrong haha
