Knitting Podcast 28 - Allover Colourwork

[@pennydavies6253]

Loved your podcast, as always. Thank you for showing us your colour work; it’s given me confidence to have a go! Really love your Finnish jumper and looking forward to it being available in English. Happy knitting!🧶

@@pennydavies6253 it’s available in English, in Stands of Joy Vol. 2. I was gifted the Finnish copy, hence knitting it in Finnish 😉

I just enjoy your knitting so much, thank you for sharing all of your details ❤ Your Beginners Course is going to be so fun, lucky students who get the chance to take it! Thank you for showing how you knit colorwork

The knit/purl sweater and framed sweater are so nice! You must knit very quickly!

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

Thank you! 😊 I just knit a lot, not particularly fast I don’t think… Xx

Love your knit sweater.i saw the biggest wool shop in Europe opened on Roman bank Skegness.xx🐝🐝

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

@@joyofthings I’ve been following them on social media for a while. I didn’t realise they are biggest in Europe! I’m waiting for them to put Drops yarn in the shop (they’re planning to) and I’ll definitely be visiting then! Xx

[@lisette1580]

I agree with you that you can leave the sample how it now is to photographe. Happy knitting!

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

@@lisette1580 I did! Xx

Just an idea regarding your opening of first sweater... I would try using a felting needle along the opening. It may stiffen the material up enough to keep opening closed with the hooks🤔 maybe even add more wool on back while using felting needle?🇨🇦🥰Sharon.

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

@@lsdev4229 I never thought of that! Brilliant idea. Thank you ❤️

[@mendyelliott9495]

I love your knit sweater! Thank you for the demonstration!

[@dinahhughes7020]

Hope you show the sweaters again in shot I really wanted to see them. Kind regards

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

Absolutely! I was so excited to have found a spot in good natural light that I completely failed to check the frame. Will double check next time before recording Xx

[@carolinehannan3921]

Lipstick looks great! The Ingrid sweater is on my radar but I’ve just started a Staffin so it will have to wait patiently. Would petersham ribbon help the opening of your Elizabeth blouse?

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

I’ve thought about ribbon and someone suggested needle felting but I’ve come to a conclusion that it should be worn open! The fabric just isn’t stiff enough to stand up. How are you getting on with Staffin? I have it in my library but haven’t opened it. I’ve heard that the patterns isn’t the easiest to follow… Xx

[@carolinehannan3921]

That’s a very pragmatic approach! It’s a bit early to say about the Staffin pattern but I wouldn’t disagree so far. There was an issue with the size 5 chart (pattern repeat box missing) which Rebecca is correcting. Teething problem. Looking good so far.

I shall have a look at the knit an hour a day for Alzheimer's Research charity. My daughter has to day centres for people with dementia

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

@@janescarisbrick6986 My dad’s partner was diagnosed few years ago. It’s tough.

FYI you talk about the sweater you are wearing BUT all you can see is the neck….you should adjust your camera so we aren’t looking at only your head and your walls and a instead your knitting…then you move on to the second sweater on the hanger and all you can see is the shoulder of the sweater….

[@KnitsFromLincolnshire]

@@Bethene0317 I nearly cried when I looked at the recording afterwards! I thought I was in frame when I started, will check properly next time! Xx

[@Bethene0317]

Perfect…I really wanted to see the sweaters….although your walls are nice
