Yes to more knitting content please. I’m so impressed that you knit in 2 ply yarn. Your cardigans are so beautiful and fine and I’m very impressed that you just knit things up without a pattern and change things up if you do. I really love your colour work sleeveless pullover and you also wear a green Aran cardigan quite often which I admire.

Thank you so much!

"It takes a long time to knit anything in 2 ply yarn. And I never knit anything unless it is worth taking a long time to knit" said Treebeard while showing off his mithril cardigan at the Knitmoot, probably. Love all of it! So nice to see you make knitting content as well, I devour all your sewing videos the moment I see you upload one!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Haha! Yes, I think you're right 😁 Thank you so much!

[@judithgrace8359]

No problem where you were standing. It worked great. Loved your cardigans.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks so much! Good to know :-)

Love the cropped length, too. Or high hip. Just more flattering, especially if I make something oversized in the shoulders, it still doesn’t look sloppy to me if it is slightly cropped. Your light summer sweaters are so practical in that weight and length. They have a retro look that makes them quite au currant! I am here from the sewing but appreciate knitting as it a part of every wardrobe! ❤❤❤ Suzanne

Thank you! Yes, I like a cropped top and as you say, very flattering in a 'sloppy' style :-)

And for centuries people had knitted stockings and just hold them up with a ribbon. I myself did this with thrifted vintage stockings in my younger days and that was comfortable and worked well. Mostly they tied just under the knee but you could tie above as well. I look forward to seeing the end results.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

That's a great idea! I'm going to try that!

[@petapendlebury9024]

​@@cornwallpocketfarmthere's a knitted garter pattern from the Victorian era that works really well. And yes hand knitted stocks until the 1700s when the circular sock knitting machine was invented! I too work in small needle sizes and like thinner yarns. Currently working on a 1950s short sleeves sweater. Enjoying the videos.

Love the cardigans and totally understand the slow knitter idea. That is how I seem to be with sewing and crotchet..... not 6 months, but Im at 1.5 months on the skirt Im working on.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, I like to take my time too!

[@mariepeterson7250]

Thank you for this video. all of your knitting is very well done. I would love to see the garments worn, only because I am sure they look great and I am interested in how you style them. I always look forward to your videos.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 Yes, I should have modelled them really ... maybe I will when we get into summer!

[@JanetSayeau]

I do enjoy your videos. You must be a very talented knitter to change patterns to suit you. I am just beginning knitting since I retired and am enjoying the process.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thank you 😊 That's so kind! I'm glad you've taken up knitting, it's such fun 😁

[@nadinedetain6765]

I really liké crazy knits ! I also rarely follow a pattern, in French or not (😂), I sometime follow the Stitch but not the form, or the colourwork but in a completely garment. It is very enjoyable when it works and totally unique.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Absolutely! It's always such an adventure :-)

[@brigittedossor8167]

Fabulous knitting. I live in Western Victoria Australia so would need to wear two 2ply garments at a time (or maybe 3 😁).

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Haha! That's the wonderful thing about knitting - you can knit the weight you need 😊

[@caroljohn3843]

New Zealand is not just Auckland. I lived in Central Otago with -22 ‘ winters, so wore a lot of DK and bulky knits. Love the 2 ply and 4 ply knits, but would not have been practical in the winter, summer knits only. Thank you for showing us your lovely knits.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Absolutely! NZ is a very diverse place for temperature 😁

[@megananderson1431]

I love the idea of hand knitted summer weight socks. That would be a hard yarn to find I think.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, I've never seen it before!

[@lighthseskr]

I just knit a finer weight yarn in a delightful color, a sock.😂😂 tried it on and wore the one around the house because I was skeptical of the yarn. Sure enough it was a big NO. So I'm going to find a different project for that little bit. It was awful. But live and learn.😂😂

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Haha! Yes, I know that feeling! Knitting can be a gamble sometimes. 🤣

[@jennycollard1173]

Loved the knitting! I’m very close to finishing Handmade by Florence’s Petal Drop Socks knitted on 2.25mm needles in the most beautiful yarn Regia Premium Silk (55%wool, 25% polyamide, 20% silk). The socks are super soft and leightweight and I’m looking forward to trying them out. The pattern has a fabulous heel and I’d definitely recommend it. I also love lightweight vneck waist length cardigans. In fact this weekend I was sorting out my summer/winter wardrobe transition and was over the moon to find a navy short sleeved, v neck, waisted cardigan that I thought I’d lost somewhere over the summer, literally yelled for joy!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Wonderful! And your socks sound amazing! 😊

[@louiseoconnor8071]

Thank you for sharing your knitting, I too am a slow knitter and enjoy the process too.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@mariasalminen7004]

I love your sewing content and I'm looking forward to your knitting videos. I also sew and knit but I am your polar opposite in almost everything 😂 I am from Finland so I use mainly 3 or 4 ply wool.

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, I image it must be quite cold over where you are 🥶

[@olive5890]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Thanks for the comment 😊

[@kateh4030]

Is the fine yarn from Colormart? I wear wool socks year round in South Africa - not obviously every day when it gets to 38, but even in hot weather sneaker socks aren’t too warm for me. The idea of trying very thin socks is appealing,though. I’d go down to 1,5mm I think, as I knit normal sock yarn on 2.25mm. And it would take longer, as I have now speeded up so a pair of socks takes less than 10 days, and that means I have to start new projects so often

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, I did get it from Colormart 😊 It sounds like you're as mad as me 🤣

[@carrieyardley822]

Leggings, maybe, but I think you'd make yourself nuts trying to knit tights that don't sag at the ankle!

[@cornwallpocketfarm]

Yes, you might be right! 🤣
