What a gorgeous set of yarns for your wedding cardigan! That will be a joy to knit. Just a tip as you’ll be knitting it through the summer, don’t leave your knitting in the sunlight as it can sometimes yellow white yarn. You may know this already, I did, but still managed to obtain proof of this theory when I left the white penny gloves I was knitting on in my window sill, I just didn’t think.

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Oh thank you! That is a great tip. Can you imagine if half of it was yellow 😱

Greetings from South Australia. Congratulations on passing your exam. Its not easy. Now retired from working in a city hospital as an Endoscopy nurse. Took up knitting again and learnt spinning and prepping fleeces. Sounds like italian bind off for your sleeves.

So excited you found the yarns for your wedding cardi. You will be a beautiful bride 💖 The stripes sweater turned out perfect.

[@RachelBearn]

The Eun sweater 😍 soooo good ❤️ perfect for cosy days in leggings. Definitely adding to my list!

[@jennbeammakes]

Delighted to hear your exam news and can't wait for the stripey jumper pattern. I love the idea of a wedding cardigan and with so much thought gone into it it will mean so much to you ❤❤

Your Eun Sweater looks great. I love the idea of slightly different mohair in front and back. It gives you a chance to use multiple colors you love.

[@corriemcclain7960]

The color block baby overalls are darling!!!!! The stripey sweater turned out fantastically.

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Aren’t they 😭🤍

[@marciahighsmith4820]

Okay, The lovely yarn for your bridal sweater is wonderful! Do your best to get it finished soon, as life is nasty about piling things on when a wedding is afoot. Best wishes!

[@TrickyNight24]

I’ve still got the first sweater in my top ten of my queue, can’t wait to see your finished bridal one! Love love love the striped sweater final look as well!

Bethany from WellLovedKnits has a video for a 2x2 tubular BO. It is very similar to a normal tubular, but it has been converted to work with 2x2. I have used it on 2 projects so far and am very pleased with it.

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Thank you I will take a look!

[@thebooknitter]

I am glad you are back ❤ i really want to make the Eun sweater is just lovely and your wedding cardi will for sure look beautiful Lizzie

That baby overall is SO cute! The color blocking looks fabulous! I much prefer it to a single color version 😍 I'll be an aunty this year as well and when I'm finished with the baby blanked I might knit that one up as well 😊 I love the idea to knit a cardigan for your wedding! I'm sure it will turn out SO lovely AND you can wear it after the wedding as well - which is not so often the case for wedding makes ^^. I think an airy mohair/suri version would be fabulous for a spring/late summer wedding as well! And I feel you with picking cat hair out of knits... I feel like my sury sweater is made out of at least 1/3rd cat hair Video quality is completely fine for me! Filming on the phone seems to work very well! I just had to turn my volume waaay up (and regretted that during the ads 😂), don't know if you can edit the volume of your voice in editing afterwards? I don't know a thing about that though 😂 Don't worry though I really enjoyed the episode! Please excuse any typos, I'm not a native speaker and where I'm currently typing this comment from doesn't have an English spelling check 😄

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Your English is excellent! I actually forgot my external microphone I usually use with my camera so may try that next time 🤍

[@clareleonard4645]

Well done on passing AKT! I am a GPST and a knitter too so I have felt the pain of studying for it!

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Oh hi fellow knitting GPST! Where are you based?

[@clareleonard4645]

@@HiveKnitsNatters I’m up in Edinburgh, on the home stretch of hospital medicine starting ST3 in August 🥳

[@janehodgett959]

How exciting you’re getting married congratulations 🎉

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Thank you!! 🤍

When making things for babies that have working buttons I tend to use snaps instead. If you still want the “button look” then you can sew on the button just for looks.

[@kellymcnabb6897]

Just found your vlog. Love the wedding cardigan and am sure it will be lovely!

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Thank you 🤍🤍🤍

[@patziegler9533]

I thoroughly enjoy your podcasts! I am amazed that you’re pursuing a medical career and all the knitting things. Your phone camera is very good. Just some advice (I watch lots of podcasts…lol) when you want to show closeups and details….block your face out. I am sure you will notice if you edit. Thanks for sharing your projects and inspiring us.💞

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Yes I notice that when I edited 🙈 notes for next time! it must prioritise my face as a default

[@AmyGilliland-r9s]

I like to do a double chain bind off. If you google “Obsessive cast off” by Ann Kingstone then you can see the steps. It creates a stretchy bind off that doesn’t flair and you have two parallel rows or chain stitches along the edge so it looks very neat and tidy.

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Thank you I will have a look at that!

You can maybe try to hide your face and not talk when you show your projects or yarn so that those items are focused on rather than your face :) But even just hiding your face seems to help a lot!

[@ambortion212]

Something blue. Just sayin 🙃

[@marciahighsmith4820]

The new phone doesn't respond as fast as your camera did. So when you showed us stuff close up it would respond about the time you were pulling away. Hum, and your face was out of focus much of the podcast.

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Thank you for the feedback 🤍

[@anciify]

interesting and lovely things you do, however, the sound of the video is terrible - you should take care of your microphone or simply speak louder, otherwise it is too bad to offer your videos of high quality content but with indigestible sound :-(

[@HiveKnitsNatters]

Thank you for the feedback 🤍
