I’m a little late to the party with this episode but I think the background is totally fine! I do love the other background infront of the window with the plants as it is just ✨aesthetics✨ but what ever works for you in the moment! Just go with the flow and it‘s fine 💖 after all we are here for you and your knits not for the background 😅 also I think inserting photos is always a good idea no matter where you film as it gives variety and shows the yarn/knitted thing in different lightings and settings so you get a better idea how it looks on a sunny day vs on a gloomy day, or outside vs inside etc. Beautiful works as always! Can‘t wait to see how the boreas anorak develops, it‘s so pretty 🧶💖

[@toksknits]

Thank you! I do love adding lots of photos to show all the projects better 😊

You have the same issue in one of your cables that I also have in my first Moby, where the middle of the cable pops out. I couldn’t find any info online about it, and I notice a lot of people have it too. I think it’s the large number of stitches involved on worsted weight yarn. I was able to fix it this time around. For the cable that’s giving your problems, slip the stitches to your cable needle and move to front/back as needed. Then slip the next four to the right needle, slip the cable stitches back to the needle and then the 4 from the right needle back. Make sure to do this at the very tip of the needle so they don’t stretch out. Then knit those 8 stitches tightly! If you still see a little pouf, pinch and massage that cable to lie how it’s supposed to. Do this after the next WS row after the cable so the stitches don’t settle into a wrong position.

Personally, I’m here to hear about your gorgeous knits. I’m not worried about your background!! I felt the same way about the Moby Slipover. Great for someone just venturing into cables but boy do I dislike mock cables!!!

[@toksknits]

@@Knitweekend thank you! I now see why everyone hates mock cables 😩 they’re so exhausting to knit

[@HotinTexas73]

When I grow up😊 (I'm retired) I want to be able to knit as well as you. Every last one of your knits are off the chain. Thanks for sharing.

[@toksknits]

@@HotinTexas73 haha thank you so much 🤗🥰❤️

Girl you are amazing. Your Ingrid sweater look ssooo good on you. Im downloading the patttern so i can do one now. Your patterns and colour choices compliment all the projects

[@toksknits]

@@bernicejames8014 thank you so much! What yarn are you going with?

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

All of your projects look stunning! Love the colors of your Moby Sweater and Busan Sweater. 🧶 I like your hairstyle. I use Bobby pins when wearing slouchy hats so that they don't fly off.

[@toksknits]

@@QueensYarnBoutique thank you! I’ll have to try that with the Bobby pins

[@dashaw852]

ugh as always in awe! the patterns, the yarn choices, the color! ❤ loved stopping by while i knit up some socks!

[@toksknits]

@@dashaw852 thank you so much for watching

Oh my goodness, moby sweater looks sooooo adorable on you. I’m absolutely in love with your color choice 😻😻😻

[@toksknits]

@@knitting.your.life8 thank you! I’m honestly so glad I went with this color. It’s amazing 🥰

[@wildcottageknitting]

Your Boreas sweater is SO beautiful! Definitely tempts me to try it, even though I’m not the biggest fan of knitting so many cables 😅

[@toksknits]

@@wildcottageknitting thank you! It’s such a stunning piece

[@dorotaurbanska6654]

Hi Joyin, a photographer here. You can buy a light bulb made for constant light stands and use it in a normal standing lamp if it's wide enough. I have one in my cheapest ikea lamp (the one with two light points) and it helps a lot. The colors will be close to true with this kind of light too and it won't look like a set all the time. My other bulb is soft warm light for reading before bedtime. I live in Poland and this set-up cost around 35 dollars here.

[@toksknits]

@@dorotaurbanska6654 oh thanks for letting me know that. I’ll definitely look into that and purchase one of them 🤗

[@rochellerowe-wiseman9226]

So excited for the skirt!! I'm definitely making that straight away. I'm taking a break from Instagram so I might not have discovered this pattern of it wasn't for your vlog!

[@toksknits]

@@rochellerowe-wiseman9226 oh I’m so glad you’ll be knitting it. Let me know how it goes and what color you went with 🤍

[@michelekirk2734]

You are right, your Busan sweater is perfection, love, love the colour ❤

[@toksknits]

@@michelekirk2734 thank you. It’s such a lovely, vibrant red

[@SvetlanaMairinger]

Hi Joyin! Thank you for the interesting episode! Your Ingrid and Moby look wonderful! Could you also please talk about how you care for knits, particularly about depilling. Thank you!

[@toksknits]

@@SvetlanaMairinger hi. Thank you! I’ll definitely mention that in the next episode🤗

[@nettyknits]

I really loved your cosy setup. The sound seemed so much clearer and easy to hear too. I must start more cabled sweaters - you are such an inspiration. Thank you for a wonderful podcast 💕

[@toksknits]

@@nettyknits thank you. I’m so glad you liked the setup 🤗There’s so many lovely cabled knits out there. If only we could knit them all 😩

[@nettyknits]

@ I know. So many patterns so little time. 💐

[@nikitinaknits]

Hello Joyin, thank you for another episode, I enjoyed it during my morning coffee knit ☕️ I am so impressed with your knitting speed 😍 I feel like a knitting turtle comparing to you 😅 The background is nice and cozy, I love it! Your Moby sweater got into my head for the last few days, and I wanted to knit it before. But now I want it even more, how beautiful it is. All other projects look insane, so inspiring 🤍 such a pity you had to record again, I know how it feels :(

[@toksknits]

@@nikitinaknits thank you so much. I really hope the whole recording disaster doesn’t happen again

[@beyondswatches4665]

Regarding the folded neck, I recently finished a dress with a folded hem and it called for a two color long tail cast on which made the sewing of the two sections a lot easier visibly. I’ve never done a folded neck but I can’t imagine the process any different. Love the projects as always.

[@toksknits]

@@beyondswatches4665 oh that’s interesting. I’ve also seen some people put a lifeline in before they do the folded neckband.

[@helenewang1830]

I’ve started to fall in love with Petite Knit’s designs. Besides the Sophie Scarf, I’m currently working on the Lulu Slipover. I’m really looking forward to her next design!

[@toksknits]

@@helenewang1830 I loved knitting the Lulu slipover. It was fun both times. She has a lot of classic designs

[@jimmydoesknitting]

Love to see all the knits. You do such a great job. When you're knitting the pattern for your male friend, make sure the yoke depth is good. I'm not sure what it is in the pattern, so that's something to be mindful of. The rest should be ok.

[@toksknits]

@@jimmydoesknitting thank you Jimmy. Thanks for letting me know that. I would have never thought to pay attention to the yoke depth. I guess I’ll have to have him try it on along the way somehow 🤗

[@jimmydoesknitting]

@@toksknits Just have him measure the yoke depth of a sweater he likes that is the same width you will knit him.

[@oldwitchknits-Ursula]

I always enjoy your podcasts and looking at your knits in filming location. (I was here from the beginning so I remember this background) Love all the pictures you put in! My friend Smita is now stocking Gepard in her online store in Vancouver, Canada "Your Next Knit". She has some of the more popular Gepard lines and is going to get more over time. She also ships to the US.

[@toksknits]

@@oldwitchknits-Ursula ahh thank you for being here since the beginning!!! 🤗So glad your friend finally stocked Gepard garn. That’s amazing

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

1 x 1 ribbing is the bane of my existence. I need to finish a shrug that is 1 x 1. Love the fabric but hate the struggle. Great knits 🧶 😊 PS - still working on my Busan tee. I got so behind with the hurricanes we had here in Florida. I teach and I had to get my students caught up. Yours look gorgeous so it is inspiration to finish!

[@toksknits]

@@stephaniewilliams8687 oh no I don’t think I could ever do that 😩 The 1x1 rib of every sweater I knit is usually the hardest for me. I’m so glad your Busan tee is almost done! It’s a staple piece that will still get some wear in the Fall I think

[@sofiabennett5212]

I made my Ingrid sweater and my Billie pullover in cascade 220 and I really like how they turned out. They have a little bit of pilling, but it’s nothing too crazy I think

[@toksknits]

@@sofiabennett5212 oh that’s good to know. The Billie pullover is on my mind for sometime in the future

[@julianabazha6716]

I knitted Lumme from sari nordlund with cascade 220 and it pills so much.

[@toksknits]

@@julianabazha6716 oh no!!😩 I was really hoping 220 wouldn’t pill that much

i recommend doing livestreams, that could be watched back on your channel for the cable classes

[@toksknits]

@@Bihfob3 I really like that idea. I feel like it would be less stressful that way

[@yvonnechandler5855]

I also have been experiencing wrist problems. What kind of exercise do you do?

[@toksknits]

@@yvonnechandler5855 so I basically do strengthening exercises that are recommended for people with Carpal tunnel. There’s a bunch of videos here on KZbin. I also wear a wrist brace if I’m going to be knitting longer than an hour. You can find those at any drugstore or on Amazon and they’re really inexpensive.

Re:camera, look for a second hand Sony ZV1 👍

[@toksknits]

@@Lisamakes thank you! I’ll check it out 🤗

@ it’s a great camera for podcasters. I bought mine in 2020 and it’s still great. They’ve made newer versions, so the original is probably cheaper now.

[@anitakaul8323]

I'm curious as to why you don't like to use magic loop?

[@toksknits]

@@anitakaul8323 it just feels weird somehow. It just doesn’t feel as natural as dpns do for me

[@anitakaul8323]

@@toksknits I see! I, on the other hand, have never figured out how to not get gaps with dpns... p.s. you are my favorite knitter in the whole world hehe - I look forward to your posts on reddit, and didn't even know you had a youtube channel! glad to have found you

[@Knittersvision]

Hiya, lovely podcast episode ❤ wanted to recommend trying this method for joining 2 yarns invisibly. It is called Russian join and it works very well for the chain blown yarns. Here is a link for an example tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aajRlqNse5dlodksi=EtoLmpjOAGeJk_Zo I tried it with Drops Air when I knit a cardigan, and I didn't have any ends to weave in when I joined the balls. I hope it helps. Happy Knitting ❤😊

[@toksknits]

@@Knittersvision oh thanks. I’ll definitely check it out ❤️
