  • Wow! You are so unbelievably fortunate to have such a great designer as a teacher. Her work is stunning, and that smoke sweater?.... Amazing! Similarly, I started exploring hobbies at the start of the pandemic. I've tried drawing, painting, plein-air watercolor painting, candle making, perfume making, jewelry making, leatherwork, playing drums and guitar, crocheting and knitting. The only thing that stuck was playing drums and knitting, and I generally spend 60% of my free time knitting and 40% for everything else.

    Hey, there! Earlier, I left a comment saying I can't wait for more of your content. Well, look what you've done! Another delicious episode! Thank you so much!
  • @hookedonaard
    I love how your Love Note turned out! I was working on my Ingrid Sweater in a red - similar to your top - whilst watching and my last yarnie buy was some pink yarn to finish up my first cardi and some pickle green for a drop shoulder. :)
  • @LeylasWelt
    Beginner knitter over here from the Netherlands. While watching your video I kintted on my Ohlala top by Kutovakika. It is my very first real knit project (aside from knitting simple squares to teach my fingers to behave) and I am knitting it in Drops Safran color 4 - a light sage green <3
  • @mariae9584
    Your love letter top by Kutovakika blocked beautifully! I'm crocheting the Fall Sweater by KnitCroAddict using Peaches n' Cream cotton yarn in the color lilac. Great video!
  • Love the hair!!!! Was just visiting London from the US and went to Beautiful Knitters per your recommendation. Such a lovely store!
  • @heatherr9201
    ❤ and currently working on the peacock tee and my first time working with knitting for olive silk… got it in rhubarb juice… really liking it so far… made a few mods to the pattern to improve the fit…
  • @sophie_vibes
    fun video!! love meeting all your cool friends ^__^ was working on a Cloud Sweater that I'm planning to wear on a trip to Japan in October. my recent purchase was one of my stash essentials, Le Petit Lambswool from Biches et Buches!! Love pairing it with a fluff.
  • Listening to the part where you spoke Italian gave me some childhood flashbacks, but also I was shocked that you can speak Italian and others can understand words, let me explain. My Granny worked in Italy in 80s and till this day she uses some Italian words because she prefers them. In the 90s and early 2000s she was using it even more (especially when she was annoyed at someone and she didn't want them to know, but wanted to say something to them 😂). Her sister is still living in Rome and now I have two Italian uncles from her daughters. It's so hilarious when they come here because my mum and I can't say a word in Italian so we speak English with them (and it's our foreign language), Granny speaks only Italian aside from our native language and when my Grandfather was alive he was so confused what is happening because the only foreign language he knew was Arabic. I also tried to translate what we're talking about in English so you can imagine how did it sound when there was like 10 of us, especially with my Granny who is SO LOUD, when she's talking you can hear her in whole town and she speaks very quickly in Italian, way quicker than in our native language 😂
  • @RachelBearn
    First time watching your videos and I loved it! Can’t wait to see more ❤️
  • Ma che brave tutte e due! Tantissimo talento, voglio definitivamente produrre questi disegni! Currently knitting the Sabai top plain in Drops Belle and really enjoying both the pattern and the yarn. Just bought quite bit of yarn from Purl Soho last week...now impatiently waiting for the parcel to arrive! I started knitting in January but I'm already head over heels in love. I love your content btw!
  • @shaelynomarra
    Lovely video! I’m working on my Friday Tee by PetiteKnit and I recently splurged during a sale on some Antigone from de rerum natura for the Ingrid Top by Gregoria Fibres!!

    For the hand stretching, I was warned off the one where you hold you arm out straight and pull back your hand by my partner, (a physical therapist), because doing it where the arm is locked out like that compresses the joint (at the elbow or the wrist, I'm not sure) which generally isn't good long term. It's a good forearm stretch, but just make sure to do it with your arms bent. You can also do this by putting your hands on a table and using your bodyweight, but I find it easier to use my other hand. Also, massage the hell out of your forearms! I have a rollerball thing that I use and also nick my partner's one head massager from time to time, as I can't do it too well with my thumbs - but a good massage can do wonders ☺

    Hi Celine, fellow knitting Celine here :) I love your pattern choices and how much you appreciate ruffles, lace, feminine details and silhouettes. I’m the same and wanted to share my absolutely favorite knitwear designer: Irene Lin! Check out her patterns, I really think you’ll love them. She drew me in with bell sleeves on her jumpers and now I can’t stop casting on more of her designs.
  • @estermaria2
    Love the hair!! And also the rest of the video ;)
  • @KcE-in4fc
    I loved crocheting but never learned how to read a pattern nor when I first started I only knew a single crochet stitch but played around and was able to make hats and tops many things. I know now how to make most of the stiches, but you're right. I just started knitting in January and love knitting. ❤️
  • @umimmak
    Last yarn purchase was yesterday: went a little too crazy with Olivia & Oliver's new Simply Sweet pre-order! 🙈🍬😊
  • @pjpeters3270
    So much fun to watch as always! I recently purchased the Fat Mohair in the colour Rose o’clock from Sysleriget for a Ballerina Cardigan by Weloveknitters and the wool for the Dagny Sweater by Skappel. So excited for both of them to arrive
  • @Myrardg726
    Love your podcast! 💕💕 My last yarn purchase was some Knitting for Oliver merino in the shade “soft blue” to knit a summer cami ☺️🫶🏼☀️
