Thank you for the video! I love your Esther jacket. Regarding size inclusivity, it's ultimately up to the designers to decide which sizes they want to offer. They handle the pattern editing and often bear the cost of technical editors, among other expenses. As knitters, we can choose whether or not to knit their designs. Personally, I knit everything in larger sizes, so many vintage patterns aren't available to me. When that happens, I simply find another pattern that I like.
thank you for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate an open conversation around this topic and have decided for my podcast to address it as I hope this will help other knitters of a wide range of bodies to find beautiful patterns to knit - I also believe that designers who put in that kind of work could ask for higher prices for their patterns to be compensated for their work obviously :)
I’ve been really enjoying having the mix of sewing and knitting in your podcasts! So lovely to see all your makes and I really enjoyed your MeMadeMay outfits ❤️
My tip for practising with jersey fabric would be the Stellan Tee bij French Navy. It's a free pattern, and if you get a cheeper jersey fabric somewhere, you can practise before using your pointell fabric!
Ok so i bought the audiobook of beach read several years ago and kind of never got around to it. After watching this vid i gave it a go and i am OBSESSED thank you for bringing Emily Henry into my life
ohh I’m glad you found her! I just started listing to funny story - since after all that waiting my brother had bought the book in german for me and I cannot read that, I just felt wrong 😄 Emily Henry sounds a lot nicer in english to me! 🤭
Your spinning in the travelers shawl looks amazing! Thanks for another great episode. I love that you’re including more crafts and hobbies into your podcast ☺️ it inspires me to try some other crafts!
Thank you for including the size inclusive pattern/designer suggestion, the Ellie Summer Top looks lovely! I always enjoy watching your videos and feel inspired by your makes and project choices.
Wie immer war es wunderbar, dir zuzuhören während ich meinen ersten (Rhabarber-) sweater stricke und jetzt will ich endlich mal meine Nähmaschine verstehen lernen - dein Stil ist so inspirierend!
I love your sweet shop blanket! I am making my second one and just love the mindless knitting! After this though, I will be taking a break, I have been knitting blankets for a year now and need a break!! ❤
The Esther jacket looks beautiful. You should definitely be proud of it. I struggle with waiting for friends and family to get the gift I want. 😅 Often I just go ahead and get myself because I don’t want them to miss the opportunity or not understand my urgency 😂
I’ll do that next time.. now that it arrived in the mail I saw that he had picked up the german version 🥹 I can not read romantic books in german… it doesn’t work 😄 I always read them in english! well it’s save to say I will be getting it for myself next time 🫣
Thanks for another well presented podcast. Please be kind to yourself and remember that your crafting is to make you happy and people who give you patterns know this.👩🌾🐑
I was thinking about the struggle you've been having with the US seam allowance and there's a quilting tool that looks crazy but I love it. It's called a measuring guide and has an 1/8" to 2" gauge and you line it up on the edge of your fabric and match your gauge. Dritz is the manufacturer and it's called the Dritz 14 in 1 measuring gauge. I'm not sure if it's available in Germany but it's an idea :)
I love the esther jacket and the archer work pants!! your colour choice is amazing as always :) I find the issue with height specific pattern is that some people have longer legs and others have longer torsos meaning height doesn't tell you about leg length? not sure if that makes sense but yeah... scared about getting into sewing..
oh you are totally right!! I feel like I’m always talking about my torso being shorter and legs longer but didn’t even think about this affecting sewing pants?! I‘ll definitely add length to my next version :)
thank you so much! 🧡 I haven’t had an official analysis done but I have tried several online tests which all came back either ad soft or warm autumn 🍂 which was also what I we hoping for 🤭 so I won’t be questioning it too much ahah
thank you! you can check out our onlineshop where we’ve still got a bit of rain cloud and sage left! other sustainable german yarn brands I know of / want to try knitting with are soil (unspun german wool), mährle (several different german bread yarns!) and calling sheep has some pommernschaf wolle but of course there are many more :)
I love Le Knit patterns but never started knitting her designs simply because I don't want to stress myself. I've heard so many reviews on her patterns having tons of mistakes and I just don't get it how can a designer release a pattern with mistakes in words, not even speaking about tech mistakes. It seems like her patterns don't go through correct testing and editing (at least in English). I really wanted to knit her palm tee and other designs but the reviews have scared me enough to just not do that. There are many many amazing designers who put their effort and money into making a great pattern that is free from mistakes at least.
