I like to film the mundane and add playful music to it. I do illustration by trade but really want to dabble in anything I can get my hands on. Currently I am a little bit obsessed with quilting and making my own clothes, but honestly this might change, so come join me along for the ride while it lasts!
Loved your energy and passion. When you said that you used pixel art to make your own design you just stole my heart fully ❤ I am currently knitting my first project and it’s also socks and sock knitting just speaks to me somehow. So cool to find likeminded people!
Hehe, thats so sweet of you to say! I don't know if I mentioned it but I use Stitch Fiddle to make my wee colorwork motifs. I hope you make the most wonderful first pair of socks, and if by some chance it doesnt turn out perfect, you will have learned all that's needed to make the second pair all the better :DD
Spraying a little hairspray over pencil sketches can act like a fixer to prevent smudging :) it's something I was taught in school but have only recently remembered it
I love your socks. I find the fleegle heel works best for me. Look for color catchers in the soap section of the grocery store. It works well to avoid bleeding on your other socks. Thanks for sharing.
Heheh thank you Constance! So far i have had no troubles with any other pair of socks, but I usually do not knit with red, which seems to be the main culprit :DD
wow, you have done so much and all beautiful. I want to try socks so bad, but, afraid. Have no one to coach me on... Hopefully you inspired me and I will try with a tutorial. 😉
Please give it a go! Its really not too diferent than knitting other garments! The Winwick mum site is the way to go. She has a whole blog course on how to knit socks step by step!
I love the clean black line of journaling.... something very clean and desicion-free... 😅 i love your kid-face drawing. Its cute!!! I like this alotttt❤❤🎉😊
Loved the little bundle you created! And thank you for sharing a ravelry link, too! I really appreciate that the patterns are stuff I had not really seen before, and I loved that you focused on accessories as opposed to garments (it made for a very nice change; I feel like most other knitting podcast tend to focus on free patterns for garments). Also, I feel like once you start working on cables, you're going to love 'em! Can wait to see you learn this new technique in the new year :)
Thank you for the sweet words! I love larger garments as well but most of the time I am looking for smaller things to gift for the season :)) Happy you found the bundle helpful :')) I can't wait to return home soon and pick out some yarn for a pair of cabled socks!
LOVE this video and your work in incfediable🦊 I want to learn embroidery and would love to see if you make a step by step tutorial class? Thanks so much for sharing your process.
Happy to hear you like it :)) Unfortunately, embroidery is not my main forte and I find myself doing it less these days. A tutorial would take far too much but I am happy to say there is a plethora of tutorials you can tap into here on youtube :"))
Love this list you put together and I'm as drawn in with all the mittens as you are, although I usually don't wear mittens often because it rains too much over here and I don't want the wool to get soggy haha. I'm also super eager to try cables next year -- I've started a project and have knitted my first 2-3 cable crossovers but it's a summer top so it's hibernating until spring. But I can't wait to do more cable-ing (or mock cable-ing where you don't need a cable needle)
OH! Sorry I only got to your comment now! I remember reading it and thinking to reply later ... alas ... I too love mittens and do need them when I go out to bike, but my issue comes from not wanting to get them dirty on the handlebar haha. I am in desperate need for a new pair since I shrunk my only pair years ago and still attempt to use it :'D Now if I can only pick a color that would go well with my coats, sigh~
Thanks a lot ! I discover some lovely things such as the Jelka and ostmarka ^-^ . For your pink maybe you can add some creamy or camel drops kid silk to it ? (and I love your cardigan ! )
Yay! I’m glad you decided to do another of these pattern videos. I love seeing what you pick out. I worked on the Antler Toque by Tin Can Knits while I watched. It’s my first cable project too 🫣😆 What is the hat you’re wearing in this video? It’s so cute!
Tin Can Knits <3 Happy to hear this is useful! as for the hat, it's a simple beanie I self made but used the Birkin Sweater's colorwork chart to add a bit of flair :'))
I just started a big knitting project after doing basic potholders and you have inspired me so much to keep going even when it gets confusing and hard! Love your channel!
I am so so touched to hear! I know how you feel since my knitting started only with knitting beanies and I didn't open a knitting pattern for years, thinking they are too complicated :'))
AH this sock parade alone is bringing my sock mojo back. So cute to see all the different pairs and to see the evolution of which heel (or other) technique had a chokehold on you. I have yet to try any other heel than the heel flap and gusset, but I also kinda enjoy that one, so I'm not too motivated to change my ways :'D Also, so curious to see more about your steeked cardigan project *__*
Hahaha! I am so happy to bring the mojo back for you! Mine has been slipping away a tad bit, but thats okay, because I want to work on some Christmas gift hats while I can! Haha honestly, I wish I loved the heel flap and gusset - I love the fit, I love the look, but the process is just not my favourite ;_; Maybe you will like the fleegle heel since it kiiiinda has a heel flap part and a gusset?? OH YEA! The steeked cardigan is that same one you and I chatted about on IG so you are ahead of the curve :DD I want to try and film the process!
You gifted me… YOUR FIRST PAIR OF STRIPED SOCKS?!?!? 💗THIS MAKES IT ALL THE MORE SPECIAL!! I love every single thing you do, beanies, sweaters, throws, socks - I’m SO lucky to have a collection of everything you’ve ever dabbled in! Love love love the sock obsession
Hei hei! I've been steeking sweaters a couple of times with a sewing machine reinforcement. The oldest sweater has very heavy colourwork with like 5 different yarns of very non-grippy yarn, and it worked like a charm! The armholes are the most solid part of the sweater. I've been wearing it for years, had the reknit the cuffs and the elbows at least twice each, because I wear it through, but the steeks are as good as new! I'd recommend doing a zigzag stitch close to the cut (= the future live edge), and a straight stitch outside of that. Use a stitch width small enough for your yarn: you want all strands of yarn to be caught by the machine stitches. I imagine that you can do a double line of zigzag stitch if you have a very fine yarn? I've never tried crochet steeking, it seemed too flimsy for me, and very time consuming. Good luck with your first steeking, it's nerve wrecking, but so fun as well!!
OH GOSH! You have no idea how reassuring this is! I actually have both a sewing machine and an overlock machine for finishing off seams of garments and am wondering if I can use it as well? At any rate, I am planning on a semi-grippy sweater since it would be made with superwash! Thank you for the encouragement, makes me even more eager to try! :DD
I promise you it's not! If people can do it without looking and even walking while knitting it must be easy right!? But for real, it has a somewhat steep learning curve, but once you learn to do knits and purls, everything that follows is combinations of the two :DD
Hey Mona! Good to see you ❤! Always lovely work! It will be nice if you do the mushroom socks pattern! I would like to try to do my pair :3 thank you for sharing your knitting projects, you are always an inspiration! good luck with the Cardigan project, i am very curious to see this project in the next video 😊
