String Things Podcast (030) - Melides Dress, felted slippers, and Clara Sweater test knit

[@ljmknits]

Love your Melides dress. Would absolutely second your recommendation to anyone thinking of making this. It’s such an achievement- I’m more proud of my dress than anything else I’ve made!😊

The dress is a dream!!!!! Wow what a work you‘ve done. STUNNING! It fits so wonderful.

Wow. The dress is stunning. I feel like it’s definitely and knitters dream achievement! The pattern sounds so detailed I don’t think I’ve come across anything like it. Props to you and the designer!

Love long ones! No need to search for something while I am knitting myself. I like when bloggers do describe their projects in details. It really helps when someone knits the same thing.

[@stockinette_only]

And yes-that is an impressive dress! So much work!!

I'm currently working on the CARDI Jumper from the same designer and I really love how she writes patterns. I'm fairly new to garment knitting and pattern reading for knitting and her writing really makes sense without being to detailed.

Wow! Love the dress! Kudos to you…

[@BellyBellsBounce]

That dress is soooo impressive! Amazing!

[@lindysmagpiereads]

I really like schematics in patterns too. Your dress looks amazing!

Love your Clara sweater it is beautiful. I also was very happy you had the pattern for the felted slippers. I had the pattern but down loaded the wrong language when I downloaded it and didn’t notice until months later when I was ready to knit them.i wasn’t sure how to get ahold of it again in English. So thanks.

The dress is stunning!

Super slippers!

[@debbieward9732]

So fine!

I think maybe on your sweater you may have encountered what has happened to me: palette yarn is very scaly which means that once it has been knit, especially with mohair, you may get less stretch. Your knitting is beautiful. It should be relaxing, not work. Enjoy!❤

I felted my slippers until you cannot see the stitch definition and the heel bump disappeared 🤷‍♀️ There is also a product called sock stop that is basically a grippy puff paint

What are you wearing? What is the pattern and yarn?

[@stringthingsbymel]

I am wearing the Levitate Wrap, a pattern by My Favourite Things Knitwear. Yarn is Cascade Ecological Wool in Beige.
