Knitting Traditions Podcast Ep.87 two turtleneck castons for me and lots of finished baby stuff

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

😂I laughed when you said you were drinking warm coffee from a travel mug “because that is my life now”. It’s been many years since my children were babies, but all parents know how our lives and actions revolve around our newborns. It’s exhausting but would not have missed it for the world.

[@sharonschnese3246]

What a treat! Thank you so much for making time to make a video for your viewers. 😊

[@knittingtraditions]

Any time!

[@kimcunningham2107]

I am extremely impressed with all the beautiful things you are making even though you have a little one!!! You don't even appear exhausted like most new mothers! Hahahaha. I think you have SUPER POWERS! 😂😉🥰❤️ (Nelli's wardrobe is absolutely beautiful.)💝

[@knittingtraditions]

Haha im faking it until i make it👹 im surprised how i manage to function on little to no sleep😆

[@Olesea86]

The hormons are helping :)) I can remember I asked my gyn, how I can resist so Well without sleeping😂 and her answer was: the nature took care of this❤

[@dondeenaharriman1428]

It’s so nice to see you on your podcast! Being a Mama looks good on you❤️ Love the finished projects and the Wips.

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much!

[@ladyindigo9835]

Beautiful knitting Nelly is a lucky girl! Have fun with your knitting!

[@darlenedavis3585]

You are amazing. You accomplish so much for both you and Nelli and your acquisitions are beautiful. Love that pinky and pale yellowy gorgeous yarn both separately and combined. Wow, stunning. I hope you have a wonderful vacation.

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much!

[@keld4784]

Thank you. Your videos are an inspiration and motivation for me ❤. And little Nellie is so cute! Congratulations! From this end the pregnancy seemed like it went by so fast!

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much! Flew by!

[@taysialefaber]

Obsessed with all your baby knits!! You’re one year younger than me and giving me baby fever so I can live out my baby knitting dreams!!

[@knittingtraditions]

You could always start knitting for a baby wardrobe either to keep just in case for future babies or to gift😁

[@taysialefaber]

@@knittingtraditions might as well!

[@victoriaguerin2851]

You'll need room in your suitcase to buy yarn in Turkey and you can always start something simple while you're there! (Also, "to slay" means to kill and presumably the fish were already dead. The photo shows them cleaning the fish. Your English is so amazing that it's easy to forget that it's not your mother tongue.)

[@knittingtraditions]

In that case they did slay them on the boat and then cleaned them;) the norwegian word for the cleaning part is sløye hence the mishap

[@victoriaguerin2851]

@@knittingtraditions I thought it would be something like that!

[@helenedumoulin9092]

Dear Inga! You are bringing back memories for me ! I so remember when my babies slept outside and I needed to wake them up also ! A baby sleeps so well outside!

[@anzaforbes8819]

I’m so late since work has been busy but Congratulations Inga & Matteo 🥳. So happy to hear you are doing well and little Nelli is here 😊💖. I didn’t think we would see you for a while but I’m glad to see you 😊. Ok, now I’m inspired to start back up knitting again especially if doctor, super mom & queen knitter Inga is doing it all ☺️🥰.

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much!!

[@kathleen6805]

Lovely surprise to see a new episode, exciting to see you and all your new knits and wips. Nellie is one lucky little lady to have such a beautiful knitter for a Mom. Enjoy your family trip and can’t wait to see what you knit up next!!!❤❤

[@knittingtraditions]

Thank you so much!

Takk for en koselig strikkestund 😊

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

I am amazed to see how much you can knit while taking care of a small baby. It is wonderful to see you even have time to podcast.

[@professorpurl]

My daughter always fell asleep on flights as a baby and still does. I’m always so grateful and surprised about what knitting and reading on planes I can get done with a child.

[@thebooknitter]

I mean what a lovely batch of beautiful baby knits❤ as we were saying the best dressed baby in town. I love the pokhara and the sea glass are just stunning. It will not be your podcast with so many Finished objects and wips. I like the eucalyptus color for the dress. I want to see what more modifications you make on the green and white sweater since I agree I don't like the neckline in the back either. I love Nellie's dress in that bright avocado color. It is beautiful 🩷

[@Lisamakes]

I actually can see the difference in mohair colour in the swatch- and I agree the cone mohair fits better.

[@egoreknits]

I love the pants. I wish I had thought to knit those pants for my kids when they were little. My youngest is 7 and I'm tempted to see if I can adjust the pattern to fit him. He is tall and thin.

[@knittingtraditions]

I am sure iføt could be modified! Just add mor stitcehes and length

[@handmadeartz2908]

Beautiful

[@jennifermckenzie2968]

Oh my gosh, that sunflower sweater for Nelly is SOO stinkin cute!!! I may have to find a baby to knit it for lol

[@silvinacarreras4523]

Hello, it is nice to see all your projects.Thanks

[@knittingtraditions]

Glad you like them!

[@thizizliz]

Oh so many beautiful colors! Nelli will have so many lovely knits to wear and be wrapped in love. There was a green that would make a pretty addition to the pink and 'yellow' nutiden too. I kept seeing little leaves in narrow rows. Happy Travels!

[@Lisamakes]

Such a beautiful sweater-- it looks just like sunflowers. ❤

[@jenniferklein1931]

you could just move the clip buttons further in from end of the bib and just cross the tails over so it fits for now

[@britdowson8324]

Love the wee pants you have made. I need to find that pattern

[@WendyAchatz]

I think I need to vacation in Turkey! ❤

[@thekindles1183]

I love your podcast, and all the baby knits! Obsessed- they're so cute! Love your sweaters too. Thanks for sharing Inga! Love she naps best outside- too cute! Maybe she'd like a sound machine for her room to give her the outside feels. lol. All the best, Kimberly

[@Woeschhuesli]

How funny, I also made the dress-body in a light green 6 mth size for my granddaughter! I used Holst supersoft in willow 😊 Meanwhile I have made the dress version three times in a bigger size so that it will grow with the child - dress, tunic, top - and last a lot longer; I made those in Holst Coast in powder, jaffa and army and they all turned out stunning. However I cannot get a 28 st gauge on 3 mm with any yarn, let alone Holst, so I used 2.75 for the skirts, 2.25 for the bodices and 2 mm for finishing off the edges. Oh, on the jaffa dress, my granddaughter demanded sleeves so I figured out a flutter sleeve for her that turned out well.

[@doris-annsavoie1717]

Happy Birthday Nancy, mine was last Saturday. I’m so sorry to hear about your store . Hope you get to relax in Toronto and also congratulations on your workshop for woolstock. When you’re back at the store I will go see and get a batch set up or get ready for it .

[@edytheneumann4656]

Thanks Inga - it's fun to see you again. I'm excited you're making one of Ivana's In and Out Raglans - I am too but with fingering weight so I've put it on the back burner for a while because it's slow going. I hope I look as cool as she does in her sweaters!! Beautiful baby knits - Nellie will be the best dressed baby on vacation in Turkey!

[@ivettabauman]

Hello Thank you for video and reminding me that we have amazing shop here in LATVIA:)

[@koran371]

Hello Inga,you are amazing mama,so many beautiful garments for Nellie. Have a wonderful time in Turkey ❤❤❤

[@debrarodriguezestrada2748]

Genius. I will use that idea of a marker for beginning of a repeat. Yesterday, I had to read my instructions over and over and over again while I was trying to do a crochet lace repeat. I'm still working on the project so I'm gonna put a marker this time. And I have to tell you it was just like Christmas to find out you were going to do, the In-N-Out sweater! I want to do it too. It's like my two essential KZbin knitters came together. I'm very very excited and happy for you both. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and ingenuity and industriousness with us all. Best wishes to you both.

[@rosemaryeveleigh3562]

Thank you for this podcast and the bunch of finished items. Your knitting is an inspiration to me as well. I have started doing colurwork but is is going very slowly. Take care ❤😊

[@knittingtraditions]

Wonderful!

[@Cozyknitsandreads]

Thank you for sharing your lovely making with us! Nelli´s wardrobe is amazing. Also love the colour choice of your herringbone sweater. Inspiring to see how you´re integrating Nelli into your life (as in still travelling, cabin trips, spending time with extended family etc. 🙂)

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Oh my goodness Nelly is growing out of her first pair of pants (brilliant, adjustable, knitted baby pants)😊. (In the US we call those push-buttons “snaps.”)

[@kameliapandaklieva2453]

Nice to see you again, Inga! Regarding the colorwork sweater you're working on for yourself, the colorwork is indeev very pretty but there's one thing that came to my mind. I have knitted one garment with short rows in the neckline ribbing, the Jules genser that was published in the same book that the Amy slipover was published in, and I don't think such short rows work. They're not in the right place to do what they are supposed to do, namely, to lengthen the back between the neck and the underarm line, thus to lower the front. I've seen photos of the other sweater you were considering (which has the short rows in the neckline as well) in which there is some bunching up at the front right below the neckline ribbing and I am pretty sure this is simply because these short rows don't work. This doesn't really happen with my garment (much) but I think it is because the silk mohair on its own just falls where it wants to fall. Having this in mind, perhaps your yarn choice was the correct one after all, as I've worked with Isager's Alpaca 2 and I know it just falls down, very drapy. Holding it double plus the silk mohair plus the fact that it's colorwork would make the fabric stiffer though, so... Just something to consider when you try it on later, pay attention to what it does right below the neckline ribbing at the front. Fingers crossed it will be just right. But yeah, not a fan of such placement of the short rows at all and at this point I wouldn't make another pattern with it. Happy holiday and all the best to the whole family!

[@opencirclestitches]

That blanket is going to be beautiful, I love all of the colors you're using!

[@barbaralevel7225]

Beautiful knitting as always. Especially love baby’s clothes though. So cute. Have a great vacation. We will wait to see if you get new yarn. 😊

Watching your videos and listening to your voice is like therapy 😍 So relaxing and enjoyable! And our knits are so gorgeous. I got all three brown shades from the last Nutiden update. I would like to try swatching for the Sitka Spruce cardigan but that is a bit above my current skill level 😁 Have fun in Turkey!

Oh that would be lovely! Im sure you could do it😘

I havent had any problems with my guernsey which i held nutiden double eith silk mohair for

[@sofiesvideothing7439]

Maybe it’s a bit late, or maybe someone already wrote it, but wouldn’t it be an option to just add more buttons to the bib to make it adjustable?

[@helenedumoulin9092]

Hi! Would you make a video showing how you catch your floats with colour work? I know there used to be many on line but haven’t found them helping much … and wonder which way you catch yours … just a quick video please …

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

I just saw an adorable dress I think you might like for Nelly-it’s called Alouette by Lisa Chemery.

[@knittingtraditions]

Thats cute!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

I think most of your sweaters will coordinate beautifully with Nelly’s Pokhara, no need to fuss with that colorwork again!! (Of course, need and want don’t really apply consistently in knitting, so they?! 😂😂😂)

[@knittingtraditions]

Agreed😁

[@kbarnett2921]

I’ve done exactly your idea for SeaGlass ‘type’ knitting. The first SeaGlass hat I did made me realise that I wasn’t a fan of knots. So I’ve since done a version of it using striped sock yarn and a plain (either white or another colour from the striped yarn). It works really well. Gives the same effect without the knots. I know that it defeats the purpose of using scraps and stash ….. but…… knots! Ugh!

[@erikabutterfly]

So glad to see another video! The knitted quilt blanket is going to be so pretty! I have a question about caring for knitware, particularly superwash socks: How do I prevent them from wearing out? I have around 10 pairs that I keep wearing once and then washing. The oldest ones I knit about two years ago and they are wearing out on the bottom of the foot. Some have already gotten holes that I had to patch and others look like they'll get holes very soon. Is there something I could do to help them not get damaged so quickly? I have other interests besides knitting socks, but I don't want to go back to wearing mass-produced cotton socks...

[@knittinglotus]

I think you definitely will need to gift the herringbone jumper. Such a shame. You should probably finish it so you can check! But probably definitely give it away.

[@knittingtraditions]

Haha to you perhaps😆?

[@annieevans388]

Re modifications to patterns: We've had mass-manufactured clothes for less than 200 years. All clothing was custom fit. So don't hesitate or feel you are doing something wrong when changing a pattern.

[@Knittingmylifeaway]

Dear Inga, can you help me dear? I love the fabric of your any slipover, so I purchased the pinsvinn (?) Cashmere tweed and Cashmere silk, but I do not know what needle size to use or what gauge to choose as I search patterns. Maybe you can tell me what needle size you used for your slipcover? Thank you dear!
