I use my tablet for colour work charts. I zoom in and highlight the row I'm at, it works well for me. I basically never printed out a pattern😅

I do the same, it’s better with reducing my eye strain tbh!

Great to see another video of you, I saw it and immediately clicked on it with an 'yes, I missed Florence's video's' Btw, if you need a sign to knit with more bright colours, this very bright red of your top looks amazing on you!

Hello! Wraps per inch is used in spinning to denote how thick a yarn is, it is measured by wrapping yarn around a card and using a ruler to measure how many strands fit within 1 inch. It can be converted into a yarn weight (like fingering, sport, dk etc). It's a bit more accurate way to measure consistency while handspinning but rarely used elsewhere in my experience. 12 WPI is roughly a DK weight yarn. I like knowing WPI when using a worsted spun yarn because the amount of air in the yarn means you get a thicker strand, but lots of yardage at the same time (I have a 13 WPI/DK weight yarn that weighs 100 grams but is measures over 500 meters, which you would normally expect out of a lace weight yarn). Hope this helps :D

Your Moomin sock is adorable! I bought the book after you spoke about it in a previous episode. I haven’t knit any of the socks yet, but since they’re “house socks”, I thought I’d knit a pair or two this winter.

What beautiful knits and those socks are adorable. Also, your wool haul is amazing. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

Great to have you back Florence. Fabulous yarn haul there. Good on you! SO looking forward to seeing what you turn them into 🥰. Loved your initial striped top - beautifully knit as usual. YES Helsinki for the 20% off! 😝

Using the Make it Tweed yarn to knit the step by step cardigan. It's working up so great! Looking forward to the tombo sweater too :)

omg your tip on the bond off in the lined loop top is something I will for sure use together with the folded hem instead of the double knitting.!! thank you!!

Thank you I really enjoyed. I’m trying to get through my first pair of socks and I loved that sock. That was quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Your colour work sweaters are so beautiful that I’m really tempted to give it a try. I’ve been hesitant up till now but maybe this winter I’ll dive in. I really love your first one.

lol I’m sitting here knitting on a wool and mohair jumper as I watch you, with my fan pointing right at me!

Your lined loop top looks like it was bought in a shop, in the best way possible! I’m also a big fan of yucca’s socks 😊

Got to agree, frantically finishing a cotton camisole and cannot wait to get back to 'winter' knitting... Just realised I also have to finish a silk/cotton/wool combo twisted loop top too. DOH!

Your Moomin house sock is so beautiful 💖💖💖 And I'm so glad you like Helsinki. Finland is a magical place.

The tukuwool dk is fabulous- I think you’re going to love it. I knit a cardigan with it and after blocking it feels positively luxurious! RE your Olympic sweater, I know this sounds a bit over the top but truly: go to a print shop and treat yourself to printed charts. I am a devoted pdf knitter but it is so relaxed to have printed charts for color work 😅 thanks for another great podcast! Welcome back 💜

I'm so glad you enjoyed Helsinki! Snurre is a gem. We do indeed have quite a bit of wool here, but it tends to be more of the rustic variety and I feel like nobody ever talks about Finnish yarn haha. (And you're pronouncing Vuonue perfectly!) If you ever end up in Finland again, I'd recommend you also visit Tampere! It's a really lovely city by a lake, less than 2hr train ride away from Helsinki, and they have yarn shops in the central area too 💕

Yes, the yarn Vovó is a shortened and cutesy form of "avó" which means, grandmother in Portuguese.

I really want to knit with Erika yarns, I am just afraid how my skin would take it, since I m so sensititve to wool. Loving your podcast, beautiful projects, and the olympic sweater is on my list for 3 years already!

I am knitting the snorkmaiden socks and also found they came out so small part way through I converted them to mittens! Will try the socks that come in larger sizes. My shoe size is 6.5 btw.

Are you doing a tester call for the Mountain Walk mitts soon? I'd love to be able to make a pair for my mom for Christmas!

i have been completely influenced to cave and buy some cardiff cashmere for a beanie/scarf! maybe an oslo beanie for me (i've made it for others but not me so i deserve one!!)

In terms of bleeding: I've always heard you should block with vinegar added to the water and use cold(er) water. I've never experienced bleeding that way, but I'm not sure if it was because of the vinegar or just because it was non-bleeding yarn

@strangemophead 4 ай бұрын

i'm really interested in doing the lined loop top but with a tighter fit and your mods sound really useful, do you have any notes from what you did? they would be super helpful, i've not done shaping modifications before and am a bit lost on how to start!! i had a look on your ravelry but i couldnt see the lined loop top

@annaswift5142 5 ай бұрын

This is not related to knitting but I love the top your wearing in the into

Have you tried 50/50 blend cotton wools? I really like the Gepard cotton wool 3 which has similar gauge to kfo merino

Loved this episode ❤ and best of luck with all the sock knitting 🧦 would you be able to please share the name of the Etsy shop for the other Welsh yarn? Thank you 🙏🏼

It’s called Pure Welsh!

Hi, I’m making your step by step cardigan in Drops Air. I’m using seven different colours and knitting two rows of each colour at a time. ( this is for one of my daughters). I’m just wondering if you think I should cut my yarn and then sew in all the ends! Or would you try and Cary them up the side? I’d be grateful for any thoughts or advice, please. Thanks you, Fin.

@onomatophobia327 5 ай бұрын

Carry them up the side you'd be creating so much work with no benefit by cutting them

@handmadebyflorence 5 ай бұрын

I think I’d personally weave in ends as I go, just because carrying seven colours seems really hard! And with 6 colours being carried at once, I think the edge could get quite bulky

@finbohannon9581 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for your advice. I think I will cut the yarn and sew in the ends. 😮
