stripe hype sweater, labeling my knits & a travel yarn haul • marlene’s knitting podcast, episode 17

[@pagesandpurls]

I weaved in all the ends of my current top while watching this, so thank you for the lovely video + company during such a (rather) boring task. I love all the striped garments you're working on or have been working on, I definitely want to make something striped, too, now.

[@marleneknits]

aw I too love distracting myself with knitting podcast while sewing in ends! thank you! :)

[@laraw.7363]

Bestes Sonntagsprogramm: dein Podcast, Käffchen und die Stricknadeln in der Hand! Danke für den tollen Content ! 🌞 Ich freue mich darauf, im Campingurlaub in Schweden meinen Novice Cardigan voranzubringen, sodass mich jedes Tragen später an den Urlaub erinnert. 🇸🇪 #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

Marlene, your podcast is such a safe place as always! Looking forward to resume winter garments knitting hahah bc I have so many patterns I want to knit. Have a wonderful summer ☀️

[@marleneknits]

[@HandmadeWithKaye]

I enjoyed watching your podcast as usual 😆 and for the Marcu Polo, I thought I was sooo behind especially when I saw that someone finished, but it's nice to know that I'm right there with everyone else 😆 also your Stripe Hype sweater looks amazing!! 😻

[@marleneknits]

Marlene, love the video! I feel like you’re one of the knitters with a podcast that really cares about the viewers. Thank you! Not in the EU but I love the giveaway you’re doing! Someone will be a really lucky winner!

[@marleneknits]

thanks for saying that! :) I appreciate it and everyone watching always 🧡

[@truelaneknits]

Ohh what great photos at the end! LOVE our matching stripe hype sweaters and totally agree about the way they came together 🧶🧡 everything you got in the UK is so lovely and I can't believe how many striped items you're knitting 😅 they are all so cute!

[@marleneknits]

I’m taking my camera(s) and can’t wait to take a million pictures of everything while we’re on our trip! ✨ I truly seem to be on a stripe hype lol thank you ☺️

Your stripe hype sweater is gorgeous. I love the colors😍 I have been knitting on the seacrest top with stripes while watching your episode. And you really inspire me to knit more with stripes😃

[@marleneknits]

[@sarah.louisa]

Wieder so eine schöne Folge, Marlene! Ich bin beim anschauen gerade endlich dazugekommen, mein Friday Tee für euren Summer Stripes KAL anzuschlagen🤗 Diesen Sommer freue ich mich glaube ich am meisten, meine Bachelorarbeit abzugeben und auf noch ein bisschen Seezeit, Stricken und Grillen mit Freunden zwischendrin! ☀🌼 #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

juhu, das klingt alles so schön! 😊

[@ValerieEskens]

I just got selected for my first test knit! 🤩 I’m looking forward to knitting the socks as a test knitter. Was gauge swatching while watching this video 🤗

[@marleneknits]

that’s wonderful, good luck and happy knitting! 🩷

[@toksknits]

You just motivated me to make the stripe hype sweater. It's so pretty! Casting on today.

[@marleneknits]

yay! happy knitting

[@irenelo2405]

Hi Marlene Loved your podcast and also all your striped tees. We are having winter now so I am knitting the Magnolia sweater.

[@marleneknits]

that's so fun! :) hope you enjoy your season! I need to think of the southern hemisphere more often, thanks so much for the reminder 💖

[@blackmorerose]

Hi Marlene, I hadn’t heard of My Ivory Room but it looks like a beautiful shop and they stock Olivia and Olive yarn too which is an added bonus living here in the UK. You’re totally correct about UK place names. There are so many that are pronounced totally differently from how they are written. Whilst I can’t enter the giveaway you’ve inspired me to buy some tags to put in my knits and I’m also going to get some for my 13 year old niece who will be coming with me to her first ever yarn festival, Yarndale in September. This is thing I’m probably most excited about this summer as she loves crafts, oh and also rediscovering and finishing off a couple of very old summer projects. They had been hidden away for far too long but I should have 2 new sweaters soon. I hope that you have a good time at Flock Fiber Festival. Jo

[@EdenYell]

If you still want to use the tags with the fraying edges, if they are polyester or acrylic (they usually are) you can just run the edge across a flame like a lighter or candle and that will seal it.

[@marleneknits]

mine are made out of cotton so when tried this earlier it didn't work, but its not too bad I guess. maybe I'll try like a zig zag scissors or will have to iron the ends, either way I love the personal style it can give my knits :)

[@roos7631]

Love all the strips and your new yarns! I'm most excited to go on my summer vacation, I can't wait to just chill, eat, swim, read and knit. #knittingtags

[@marihappygirl8235]

Hello Marlene, i'm looking forward to finish my second Ankers Sommer Blouse 😃 i like the fit so much an the yarn drops belle i use also. 😃

[@marleneknits]

sounds great! that’s on my to knit list soon ☺️

[@dabristudio]

Your stripe hype is sooo lovely! I got really inspired to try to make one with my hand dyed scraps :) I love the vibe of your podcast, so chill, loved hanging out with you and hearing you chat about yarny stuff! I'm looking forward to also knitting on some stripes this summer, I'm planning to cast on the lined loop top by other loops soon #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

aww, thanks so much and I love both your stripey plans

[@thewoollyworker]

Super video marlene ! I was knitting on some socks while watching you, loving all the stripey projects. I am looking forward to knitting with my new bamboo needles my boyfriend gifted me last week ( #knittingtags ). You've inspired me to look into getting some tags, I'd love to add that polished finishing to my knits !

[@marleneknits]

thanks vanissia 🧡 ouuh I'd love to get some of the chiaogoo bamboo soon (my best friend has and looves them!) - which ones did you get? It's lots of fun and yeah, I totally think it adds a nice personal touch and polished finish :) can't wait for your next episode!

[@lena_kindofyou]

Dein stripe hype sweater ist so schön geworden! 😍 Ich liebe den Sommer, ich glaube am meisten freue ich mich auf den Italien Urlaub😊 #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

Dankeschön 🤗 das klingt so schön, nach Italien würde ich auch gerne wieder mal fahren!

[@claracrafted]

One thing you might be able to try for the tag fraying is a product called fray check, or something similar. I’ve never sewn tags into my knitting but now I really want to! 😊

[@marleneknits]

thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out :)

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Hello! ❤❤❤ so lovely to catch up with you

[@marleneknits]

hey kaci! thanks for watching and commenting! I just listened to your latest podcast episode and enjoyed it so much as always 🧡

[@elisaknittingstories]

Watching your podcast is always so nice and relaxing! This summer I am really looking forward to simply going back home in Italy, spend some quality time with my family and friends while having a lot of knitting done #knittingtags 🤍

[@marleneknits]

thank you, elisa! that sounds lovely 😊

[@Heidiy]

I love your stripe hype sweater! I was just going to ignore it, but when I saw yours I think I need something similar 😍 For the giveaway: I'm waiting to be healthier + spending a lot time outdoors knitting. I also wait for fall to arrive, since I miss cooler days and woolly wools 😆

[@marleneknits]

thank you 😊 all the best to you and your health and I feel the same! 🍂but until then I'm trying to be a summer girly and enjoy it as much as I can haha😅

[@aayunda9008]

This summer I’m most excited to do a lot of walking and hiking around parks! #knittingtags

I’m excited to take a month off work and take a relaxing break! It will give me a chance to get my sweater finished and start a zakuri cardigan with some noro yarns I got earlier this year in Los Angeles! 😊 #knittingtags

[@johannafranz3083]

I‘m looking forward to finish my first summer knit ever, which is the basic tank. You really got me into trying stripes and I love knitting it so far ☺️ #knittingtags

Hey Marlene, das war wieder eine sehr schöne Podcastfolge!😊Momentan stricke ich an dem Tide Loop Tee und freue mich schon sehr darauf, es diesen Sommer noch tragen zu können ☀ Eine kleine Frage habe ich da auch noch: Bei welchem Etsy-Shop hast du die personalisierten Label genau bestellt? #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

das freut mich 🤗 ach und stimmt, hätte ich mir denken können, dass das eine interessante information sein könnte: der shop heißt pacificlabelstore ☺️ danke fürs nachhaken!

[@fehfranzi]

Vielen Dank für diese schöne Podcastfolge🥰 freue mich immer wieder auf neue Folgen und warte immer ganz gespannt auf die nächste🫣 Momentan freue ich mich darauf mein Friday Tee endlich fertig zu stricken. Aber am meisten freue ich mich darauf noch mehr Babysachen für den Nachwuchs von meinem Cousin zu stricken, der im August auf die Welt kommt😍 #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

das freut mich so, vielen dank für dein liebes kommentar :) das klingt richtig schöön! baby knits sind die besten oder? 😀😍

[@esmevalk3302]

You chose some wonderful colours for the stripe hype sweater! I'm looking forward to adding to my summer knits by making the THEA top using the trio 1 and 2 by Isager. I'm in love with the neutral linen colour way and the drape of the yarn. #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

thank you! that's a great summer pattern and yarn plan 💖

I‘m really looking forward to spending three days all on my own exploring Oslo this summer! It‘s my first time solo travelling and I‘m super excited. Can‘t wait to check out all the incredible yarn shops an eat loads of cinnamon buns❤ #knittingtags

[@maximetrienpont9464]

Hi Marlene! I'm looking forward to my first knitting summer :-D I really enjoy your podcasts and funny fact, yesterday I discussed with my husband which sweater I'm going to knit for him and it's the same sweater from petite knit that you're going to knit (Nothland sweater). I'm going to use drops big merino as yarn for it. Kind regards, from Belgium! #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

sounds great! we have some lucky partners ;) have a lovely first knitting summer 😌🧡

I‘m getting really inspired by your and Lydia‘s stripe projects, and although it would screw up my project plans and queue, I think I hav to squeeze in a stripe project to participate in your KAL 😊 thanks for continuously inspiring me! #knittingtags

Hi Marlene! Your stripe hype sweater looks really nice! I love the colors you used! Also, nice to see the projects you are working on. At the moment I am into knitting camisoles. I have camisole no 5 on my needles in KFO cotton merino and dreaming of newly released pattern camisole no 9 ❤ #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

thanks ☺️ and yay for summer camisole knitting mojo! happy knitting 🌞

[@hornrimmedgirl]

I‘m most excited about starting my first Cardigan during my upcoming island holiday! #knittingtags Re: Ausfransen der Tags: Ich würde sie auf jeden Fall umbügeln und schau mal, ob man die Ribbelenden mit dem Feuerzeug etwas versengen kann. Bei Kunstfasern geht das ganz gut, mach ich beim Nähen immer. 👌🏻

[@marleneknits]

ach danke dir für deine einschätzung! abflammen hat leider nicht geholfen, weil es vermutlich aus baumwolle ist, aber ich probier das mit dem umbügeln mal :)

Hallo Marlen. Vielen lieben Dank für das wundervolle Videos. Ich mag diese sehr gerne. #knittingtags Da ich gerade kurz vor meinem Geburtstag stehe, freue ich mich natürlich auf diesen Tag. Gestern war ich in Kassel zum Wollfest und habe dort ein paar Geschenke für mich gekauft. Ich wünsche dir einen schönen Sommer. Viele Grüße Sandy

[@marleneknits]

hey sandy, von dem wollfest habe ich dieses wochenende zum ersten mal gehört, also werde ich vielleicht im kommenden jahr hinfahren :) vielen dank fürs schauen und ich wünsche dir einen tollen geburtstag und sommer, viele grüße, marlene 😊

[@wooling.around]

Not totally sure but you could probably melt the edges of the tags by holding a lighter really close. If it’s synthetic fabric you could melt just the edge and then it won’t fray

[@marleneknits]

they’re made of cotton so this doesn’t work but that’s so much for the tip ☺️

[@marleneknits]

*thanks :)

[@glasernewelt8389]

Der Maschenfeinshop bietet meine ich Pasquali Garn an, vielleicht schaust du da mal vorbei? Ich stricke damit grade eine Mütze 😊 Ich hätte noch eine Frage: Wie gehst du mit dem abwechseln/vermischen von handgefärbten Garnen um? Also wie machst du das genau, wie oft machst du das, machst du das überhaupt? Das ganze Thema hält mich irgendwie noch davon ab mal selbstgefärbte Garne auszuprobieren 😅

[@marleneknits]

nun habe ich das garn ja erstmal, aber ich dachte mir schon, dass ich es auch in deutschen stores finden würde! vielen dank an dich für den hinweis 💖 achja, das ist echt immer so eine sache.. also ich habe bisher primär mit hellen eher gesprenkelten garnen gestrickt, da war meine erfahrung, dass es nicht soo wichtig ist zu wechseln. ansonsten wurde mir 'helical knitting' bei projekten in der runde empfohlen, das habe ich aber noch nicht getestet bisher. bei hangefärbten skeins für accessoires wie mützen und socken habe ich den effekt einfach gerne mitgenommen, der sich ergibt, wenn man die knäuel nicht abwechselt. ich kann hierüber gerne auch nochmal in einer späteren folge sprechen, wenn es thematisch gut passt, aber das sind bisher so meine erfahrungen. :)

I'm crossing my fingers for you and I totally relate to putting projects in the corner once in a while when they're not working out as I hoped they would and I always find that it helps me to take a break on them!

[@KatharinaB23]

Good to see you again ☺ your Brighton Tee is looking beautiful on you. I don't know if you'd be interested to share, but I would like to know about your favourite knitting accessories if you'd want to consider this for a section of a podcast or a smaller video. Your summer stripes KAL as well as all the beautiful striped projects really urge me to also knit something stripey. The only problem here is that I have a couple of garment quantities already planned that are all uni coloured (and not structured as well) 😅 oh well, maybe I need to buy yarn for something stripey 🥰 This summer I'm looking forward to spending some summer nights at a local lake with friends and bring my knitting projects along #knittingtags

[@marleneknits]

that sounds like a great plan, I’d love to share about a bit more! maybe a top/camisole or socks could be a great project for in between tonal sweaters to get into stripes? ☺️ that sounds like such a lovely plan for the summer! 🌞

Hello dear ,, how do you strip in the round without agap ?

[@marleneknits]

I usually leave a long tail when adding the next color (which I also leave a long end for this and hold both ends in the back) then knit for a few stitches before doing a knot in there and after knitting a few row I always tuck on it and see that the stitches look great on the RS, you know? after some rows I'll do a double knot in them and then after a while sew in the ends zig zag style. sometimes I hold floats too but I'm still learning how to do it myself. I'll show it off in another video soon if you'd like to see it rather than read about it maybe? :)
