@ljblackmagpie Год назад

the spool of yarn in your Jawol is to knit into your heels and toes of the socks to reinforce them. Really loving the video so far. hope you are also feeling better x

@RetroClaude Год назад

Oh my goodness that makes so much sense 😅 why didn't I think of that?

@ljblackmagpie Год назад

@@RetroClaude its really not obvious. I used to stock it at my yarn shop (now closed) and had to ask my supplier what it was.

@SarcasticShrubbery Год назад

Came here to see if anyone had already mentioned this :) I've used the reinforcement yarn on the heel and toes, but as it turns out, my knit socks tend to wear and develop holes mostly under the ball of my foot. I wonder if I should use the reinforcement yarn for that area? If anyone has tried that, I'd love to know.

@ievalibeka8171 Год назад

@@SarcasticShrubbery Yes, You absolutely can :) I'm just a beginner knitter, but after wearing through the first few pairs of socks so quickly I'm now adding reinforcement yarn in all the spots (toes, under the ball of foot and outer side of foot for me) and it really helps with maintenance darning :)

@clarakoenig7923 Год назад

Also really useful for mending in a matching colour :D

@beth12svist Год назад

The lace blouse was worth all the trouble, it's gorgeous.

@irisl2508 Год назад

That blue lace blouse may have been cursed, but my heavens is it stunning on you!😊

@snonwchty4860 Год назад

Being chronically ill I really enjoy the honesty in your videos; and because my memory is impaired I get to watch your videos multiple times like they are new!

@RoxanneRichardson Год назад

I'm so happy that you were able to get some things off your WIP pile! I love the blue lace top -- it really suits you. I've always thought the Jawoll spools were an interesting idea, but given that the yarn has nylon content, I've never actually used the the spool yarn to reinforce the heels and toes, but I *have* used it to make repairs in socks that have worn thin. Those spots are never where I would have expected them to be, so just as well that I waited to use the spool yarn! I'm really interested to see that Dr. Jaeger-inspired corset.

@hannahv1930 Год назад

Now you have to finish the Corset, Roxanne is watching (no pressure)! I love the little bra, what an incredible thing to make although I think would be strange to wear. I'm absolutely loving the daisy chains too, I can't wait to see that project finished, so much fiddlly work!

@beth12svist Год назад

I agree the spots are never where I expect them to be! Different spots on each sock in a pair, on the last pair I was repairing...

@Eastybeastyy Год назад

the audible gasp I gave when i saw this video pop up! I may or may not have been refreshing my subscriptions a lot over the last few days 🤣

@Eastybeastyy Год назад

The stars youcould add a bit of string so they're ornaments and give them as part of a gift or two at Christmas :)

@LittlePrairieLibrary Год назад

That's what I thought. It would also be cute to sew onto a tote bag!

@KnitsByNayla Год назад

A tote bag or a blanket that’s then gifted since they’re not her style.

@Siennaflower Год назад

That blue lace blouse is beautiful! The patchwork sweater is very nice too, even though it doesn't fit the way you'd like. It definitely fits in with "modern retro" trends! ❤

@AmoCultumAlo Год назад

Yay! Another stash-busting video! I always get so excited to see these pop up on my home page. The blue lace jumper looks so stunning! Good on you for persevering with it and making something gorgeous in the end!

@PsychoKat90 Год назад

Congrats! Finishing projects is the bane of my existence, so I'm really proud of you! I have an idea for the stars - maybe you could sew 2 of them together, line and stuff them to make a pincushion?

@Nessi-dances Год назад

Yay! Glad the cursed blouse got finished! Maybe that 1840s lace glove that's too big can be a hat or a reticule? Your videos always inspire me to knit, so this time I planned ahead and had my knitting with me before I hit play! I'm working on some baby things for a dance friend who is expecting. She let slip that she doesn't have friends her age, so we're planning a surprise shower and I'm knitting hats (and probably some booties/socks).

@AngelGirlViolet Год назад

That silk knitting looks like you're making clothes for Borrowers! Maybe there's one needing a jumper that you can use the Yavoll yarn/thread for? And I know you don't like the patchwork jumper but I think it looks really cute.

@jenniferallen7183 Год назад

I love watching your stash reduction series. I've been trying to use up my own stash, because I'm getting married soon, and kind of just want a fresh start. I find these videos to be encouraging and I like watching them while I knit/crochet.

@asilverfoxintasmania9940 Год назад

It was so nice to watch this and see you talk about the patchwork sweater knowing you did manage to finish it because I had seen the video! That blue one was so worth all those tears and frustrations it is a gorgeous design!

@BYBabbra Год назад

The Pile of Ambiguity, sounds like you are describing my sewing room. Glad to see you got something done. Spring! it's brassic out there.

@joanware6473 Год назад

The blue blouse is beautiful. so is the patchwork jumper too.

@michellecollins529 Год назад

I am 100% loving your stash-down series! A thought about the crocheted stars, or items like that, the first thing I thought was you could totally join them into a scarf (crochet around them). I think it would make a darling scarf. And if that's not your thing, start a donate pile for completed things that you don't want to keep. Find a local homeless shelter, women and children's program, etc. to donate them to. I inherited a ton of wool/acrylic bend yarn and am stock-piling knitted hats for a local homeless program.

@vincentbriggs1780 Год назад

Congrats on finally finishing the blue lace!! Using any yarn that's the right weight definitely sounds like the right move for the hexipuff quilt. I think if a nice cohesive colour scheme isn't possible then the next best option is to shove lots and lots of colours in and hope it balances out. I'm currently working on a patchwork dressing gown and it has some pretty ugly colour combinations if you look at the individual pieces up close, but then from far away it all blends together into a pleasant jumbled pattern.

@chantalsnelder2423 Год назад

Perfect timing as i was binging your videos today! You actually made me interested in actually trying knitting and i'm currently knitting my first sweater. Oh boy i understand why the victorian gloves ended up in the ufo pile, that's the fiddliest knitting i've ever seen.

@RetroClaude Год назад

So teeny tiny!! So pleased you've given knitting a try! All the best 😁

@catherineenwright9776 Год назад

I think that patchwork cardigan looks really lovely on you!

@ilesmom1 Год назад

I definitely agree with you concerning the patchwork top. It does not look lumpy. I would love to try and do one myself, God knows I have tons of yarn bits.

@mgdewilde Год назад

Are you allright Claude? I miss your video's 🙏 I mean this very friendly and not to put you under pressure❤

@sharonlewies9920 Год назад

Yes hoping you are ok xxx

@lindyfraser6243 Год назад

I am SO enjoying this series... and I don't even knit 😄 I would absolutely love to see the knitted corset. It sounds fascinating!

@juliaw9835 Год назад

The lace blouse came out absolutely stunning! The poppers are near invisible. Fabulous work.

@zuriagaski8912 Год назад

I really enjoyed the patchwork sweater it is adorable

@auntiezann5146 Год назад

What a fun video! Love that gorgeous periwinkle blue lace blouse! The pattern is lovely and the color is smashing on you! The patchwork sweater is so nice too! It will go with nearly everything, and I don’t see the lumpiness. Those itty bitty knitting needles just scared me half to death! Love your ideas and thought processes!

@jeanninecook6661 Год назад

What a talented woman this is. Thank you!

@maureencullen1008 Год назад

The pale blue jumper is so beautiful.I love the style,pattern and colour and it looks so lovely on you. I saw your patchwork jumper in the Harry Styles and vintage jumper comparison.The vintage jumper was so stylish I couldn't see a comparison. Viewing the patchwork jumper on it's own it looks so much better.The colours you've chosen work so well and I love the sleeves.Susan Crawford designs some fab vintage knitwear and the yarns she produces have such beautiful vintage colours and good yarn weights.

@christinemccoy5237 Год назад

Hoping to see you back soon!

@kaytiej8311 Год назад

Its always so nice to just spend time with you, hearing you chat about what you're doing, wanting to accomplish, working through and more. Love the blue! That bra will be...erm...interesting? Stay warm!

@RetroClaude Год назад

It definitely has an 'oranges in a string bag' look about it 😬

@mayerler8044 Год назад

I love this series! Thank you so much for being such an cool and honest knitter

@tashacouldmakethat Год назад

Absolutely love how the lace blouse turned out! What a pretty shade of blue too. Also appreciate the reality of your freezing-outside-face. 😂 And that we can accompany you for the satisfying feeling (at least I think it's satisfying? kinda?) of ripping needles out of a UFO that you're just not feeling. Been there!

@bluejay5531 Год назад

I LOVE this stashbusting series!!!! and the blue lace blouse is GORGEOUS! 💚

@cindyroberts6666 Год назад

The blue sweater/blouse (?) looks beautiful. I also think the patchwork sweater looks good too. The beauty of the patchwork one is you can wear a thicker vest under it for more warmth.

@bernadettefeener660 Год назад

I love tight-fitted gloves. Keep going! You may be surprised at how nice they feel on your hands.

@MJ-zr2jz Год назад

You could use the stars as coasters. Or gift as coasters.

@moonbasket Год назад

Well done finishing those two sweaters! I love them both. I was thinking you could maybe take in the sides of the patchwork blouse so it's less baggy. Just literally sew in darts and cut out the excess. Don't fuss about with unpicking the panels and reknitting them. The colors look great on you and giving it some darts in the side could make it so you'll actually wear something that you put so much time into. ❤

@hannahv1930 Год назад

That's a great idea, those big blue panels could be shaped!

@KnittingLulu Год назад

You could make a bottom-up top with that "mitten" as a sleeve. It would probably be something similar to the lace blouse. Love the dedication to film in the garden, even when the wind is blowing you away :D

@lynnthomas7275 Год назад

I'm working on the beekeeper's quilt, doing just one hexi-puff per day before working on something else, teaching myself discipline, lol

@Diniecita Год назад

Ooh. I love the crochet stars. They would look cute on a Christmas tree 🎄. I love the blue jumper. If I was a better knitter…

@linr8260 Год назад

The blouse and skirt combo looks amazing! I'm really curious to see what the daisy one will look like 👀

@teressebirkett3387 Год назад

Cool stars! They would be great for my Xmas tree

@maureencullen1008 Год назад

I just remembered I have original 1940's fine gloves.They are crocheted using the fibre you've used for the bra,it is also the same main stitch.If you used this to make evening gloves they may be more original.

@jessmakesstuff Год назад

Finish it February looks like it was a real success! I’ve been waiting about…a month (😂) for this video and have been refreshing the feed regularly today in hopes of seeing it. Still my favourite RU-vid series currently, I cannot wait to see what else you get up to in the fibercraft realms!

@Eastybeastyy Год назад

I'd love to see a video where you talk about some of the patterns you have in mind to use for stashbusting :)

@MeribethCPlenert Год назад

The progress is wonderful! My thought with your despair at the hexipuffs is”that would be a glorious baby play rug!” Maybe a bit too luxurious, but baby spit up on yarn you don’t like might be cathartic.

@qiae5047 Год назад

The lace blouse looks stunningggg well done for persevering

@GwensShenanigans Год назад

Your stashbusting is very inspiring Claude. I love your sweaters and I can't wait to see the finished bra and how tou tackle the knitted corset!

@lisaku6886 Год назад

I have been in hospital since Monday (I‘m ok recovering very well thankfully) with absolutely no Wi-Fi. Your Video was the only one so far I was willing to use my mobile data (in Germany we have a set amount included in the cell plan and then internet gets unusably slow if we don’t pay for an upgrade) to watch! And it was so worth it, made me feel so much better, thank you for the work you put into giving us these great videos!

@RetroClaude Год назад

I'm glad I could be a comfort in your recovery. Best wishes ❤️

@lisascenic Год назад

Your finished jumpers are lovely. And wow do I have a collection of cursed knitting projects.

@whatleighmakes9119 7 месяцев назад

I'd be so interested in your knowledge on vintage fashion and style, if you were able to do a sit down video (or series of) the topic, your masters dissertation sounds so interesting! Thanks for making the video, I have been enjoying your stash busting series! xx

@chrissy24-7 Год назад

Your blue lace blouse is lovely 🌹

@janisi9262 Год назад

I really love that cornflower blue, lace pullover. It haunted you for months, but the finished item is very lovely and I hope you get a lot of wear out of it! The Victorian lace swatch - would it be large enough to continue in pattern and make a hat? Maybe one of those teeny, lace caps? I was inspired by you and have also been working on my stash. Everything was going well, I made a whole dang sweater, some socks, mitts, a hat that I'd had planned since 2015... and then I found some vintage wool yarn in a thrift shop for cheap. It's in quarantine in my freezer.

@TheLadyofSpades Год назад

So happy to see this month’s video out! I’m always looking forwards to them

@hazeluzzell Год назад

I love the patchwork blouse so much!

@cecilehoare3053 Год назад

Make pillow covers with the Hexi's you have made already and call it a day! lol You should put on a very thin belt with your patchwork sweater to pull it in a bit if that's what you mean by lumpy. Both are very pretty! Now that crochet bra... lol

@anniebell6846 Год назад

Your lace knitting is exquisite

@elsa7998 Год назад

I have a quilt (sewn) that ive made from tiny squares of all the fabric I used for my past projects and it brings me much joy remembering all the things I've made while looking at it - even if it's a mismatched riot of color. It does have a fair bit of white space to balance out, maybe neutral/s would eventually help balance your hexi puff stash quilt too.

@RetroClaude Год назад

I think I've decided that's what I'm going to do. Like a English paper piecing quilt design with white spaces between sort of 'flowers' 💚

@tonicobarrubias4052 Год назад

I love your videos. Would love to see you crocheting sweaters and other things vs. Knitting them

@CaptainStitchyPants Год назад

That crochet bra is fascinating! But I'm also cracking up at the page in the instruction booklet you showed for it - get ready for the cold weather! With a cotton fishnet bra 😂 Do you think that would have helped keep you toasty in your reveal footage at the end? I'm really intrigued by the knitted corset, especially with bones and busk et al. It'll be interesting to see how functional it is as a supportive foundation layer. Re: tiny knitting, I remember reading an interview many years ago with a woman who does miniature knitting and she said she got her husband to make her some needles out of piano wire because that's all she could find at the correct gauge 😱

@StitchingJoanne Год назад

The lace blouse is gorgeous!

@tanyab78 Год назад

I love these videos! You did such an amazing job ♥️

@howcanikeepfromsinging Год назад

Well done! I unfortunately wasn't well enough to get any WIP finished, let alone UFOs. Next year. *Hexipuffs you don't like - I know plenty of other people are taken with the quilt too, and are working on their own version. Could you gift them or swap with someone so they're not just abandoned? *projects you've lost interest in - with things like this I tell myself just to work on it for 30 min or so. That way I don't commit to be bored and thus not start, but it's still making progress slowly. I am impressed with your daisy garment progress though! *pink gloves - are you planning to knit more "keep warm" accessories for next winter? The too-small gloves would likely be appreciated by a teen girl. *Victorian gloves - 😱 so tiny. I suppose also when people had less clothes they appreciated each piece more, and when there's no tv or internet to be a black hole of time, then you had the evenings or spare moments to work on it. *cotton baby hat - I knit my nephew a baby hat from bamboo when he was born and it ended up adult size also! 😏

@prettysimplemum Год назад

Dear Claude, from someone who also has a bunch of health hurdles. Take the time you need to be gentle with yourself. Don’t rush into doing things you feel guilty about not getting to. Really hoping you are feeling human again soon. Megan

@colleenwnek3404 Год назад

I just feel like "Loose Daisies" would be an awesome band name! Anyways, loved the update as always. I'm working on my first crochet baby project as I'm watching.

@janatherton9194 Год назад

The pale blue sweater turned out beautifully! I have seen many similar tops with small button and loop fastenings at the back neck, or along the shoulder seams too.

@showandtellmeg Год назад

I'm with you on the cursed projects. I have a sweater that has just been a nightmare and in May ill have been making it for 1 year due to all the times I set it aside. I finally got it made up and blocked to discover that the sleeves had stretched out and look comical. Both too long and too short. I started unpacking the wrist only to remember they were knit from the cuff upward and now its in time out again until I decide what to do. Congrats on your curse being done! It looks lovely.

@roslynholcomb Год назад

I can’t believe the size of those needles for knitting the Victorian gloves! It would take forever.

@cobyteune Год назад

The white knitting could be a very nice hat for a new born child!

@heatherwood756 Год назад

Both tops are fabulous! I appreciate that you wear a microphone.

@hedgerow.homestead Год назад

One thing I do with my “too small” bits of yarn is to make baby hats for preemies. Finding hats for micro preemies can be very difficult for parents. I donate mine, in a variety of sizes and colours, to local midwives and doulas.

@Beebee-ml6jf Год назад

Am fairly new to your channel and I love it. Have been tempted, successfully, into buying 1mm HiyaHiya pins and some Devere silk to knit a lace shawl / scarf (depending on how far the metre-age goes). Can't wait to get started. Thank you for such an interesting, easy to watch and joyful RU-vid channel.

@crystilmurch5659 Год назад

Seems that there was serious progress in February! Looking forward to the large jumps in balls taken off of stash once the larger projects are finally completed. That bra is so nifty! I am super curious about how it will turn out!

@lanageorge5865 Год назад

Omg. Those stars would be so cute in a blanket like a granny square blanket. 😍

@retrocraftdreams Год назад

Ooh! I got my hands on a vintage daisy knitter recently after I came across it in a pattern. I'm not sure yet what I'll use it for, but I'm eager to try it out and see some other daisy patterns. I'll be watching close to see how your project turns out!

@travelingplannermama4480 Год назад

As a Norwegian the fact that every knitter on RU-vid not from Norway who talks about knitting for babies and children consistently avoids real wool blows my mind. 😅 In Norway when knitting for children we knit with wool, often merino wool, almost exclusively, and especially for the closest to skin garments. If we knit with anything else it will most often be for summer garments or bc it is a non Norwegian pattern requiring the specific properties of that fiber. Merino wool is also by far the best fabric for premature babies to help with temperature regulation. The reasons we use wool are for the specific properties only true wool has, like keeping warmth even when wet, regulating temperature, anti bacterial to some degree, keeps it’s shape well and so on. Most modern washing machines have gentle enough wool wash programs to make keeping the wool garments clean very easy. But also Norwegians view knitted garments as utility items, they are meant to be worn, often daily. And this is even more true the further north you go in Norway. It’s a fascinating culture difference really 🤔

@RetroClaude Год назад

I agree. To me it is strange that even many of my vintage 1950s and 60s patterns are designed for nylon or acrylic yarns. I can only think that it comes down to fashion. Post-war Britain was pretty grim and a generation of children brought up on Make Do and Mend hand me downs violently rejected anything traditional in favour of new modern inventions, like synthetic fibres. Wearing wool was for old men smoking pipes in pubs. Either that or it's because it's cheaper. Plus I think most people just don't know how to use a washing machine? I often get shocked comments if I mention I machine wash my knits. Maybe in countries where they use mostly top loader washing machines it's too risky but the wool cycle on my machine has never ruined anything.

@JennCampbell Год назад

I would bind off the mitten piece, and keep it with the other bits. It would be a good reference for the next try.😊

@soniajensen3994 Год назад

I love this series ❤

@damichill Год назад

By the looks of it, the victorian lace mitton could probably be made into a hat for a baby, and look very lovely.

@anouk.baasdejonge Год назад

The blouse turned out stunning!

@MissMVintage Год назад

Ah!!! I had the same thing with my Jawoll yarn! I assumed it was a cardboard tube for stability and SURPRISE! IT WASN'T! Then I forgot to reinforce the heel and toe with it for that sock project. So I allocated the thread to a different pair of socks. And forgot to use it there too. So... yup.

@lyannecb8499 Год назад

I have just finished a crochet blanket I started last May, so November to February for the lace jumper seems quite reasonable to me!

@icannotbeseen 10 месяцев назад

hint for getting very small crochet hooks that are more, uh, reasonably sized, "dreadlock crochet hook" is a great search term to get 0.6/0.75mm crochet hooks (though a lot are packs that also include three hooks on one handle lol)

@nanabella007 Год назад

Thanks so much for your video! I love that you’re leaving mishaps and frustrations…. reminds me we all have those! QUESTION: what is the pattern for your orange shoulder warmer? Sorry if that was in one of your past videos!

@rationbookrebecca Год назад

08:58 - you could bind off and turn it into a bookmark to go along with your notes..

@raevynwoods9403 Год назад

I am here for the sewing on of popepers! Riveting content! I'm joking but also what you said plus the comment on screen made it very funny :) I really liked the video, and I'm super curious about the knitted corset now!

@pauladavitt7554 Год назад

I’m loving the patchwork jumper. I’m currently looking through my stash to see if I have enough 4ply to knit my own.

@emilysmith2784 Год назад

Is the lace glove big enough to be a baby hat? Could be lovely for an christening. Or you could start decreasing to make a flat base, stretch it over a cardboard box or starch it and use it as a storage container for jewellery or cotton bud or something.

@kjtherrick4031 Год назад

You can use the 100% cotton yarn to make dishcloths. I've made--knit and crochet--and used these for many years and they are my favorite dishcloth, especially when handwashing dishes. I think your hexagon afghan is going to be terrific with your various yarns; good decision! Your lacy short-sleeved sweater looks wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing how the knitted corset develops. Hope you're feeling well.

@KnitsByNayla Год назад

For such a struggle project, the blue lace jumper looks AMAZING! For the patchwork jumper, I wonder if you’d get a better fit if you took out the side panels? I love the overall look but it is a bit big.

@matr00n Год назад

I live for your stash busting videos! The lace blouse is so beautiful and that colour looks great on you!

@Jay-oh5yk Год назад

@pamelasmith6306 Год назад

Love the blue lace knit jumper,it fits you perfectly…

@mrsmscuriositycabinet6925 Год назад

Lovely to see you wearing the lace top, after all the glitches. I would love to hear you talk about what you wear under 1940s knitted tops, especially lace ones. They strike me as a very wearable vintage style and a prettier alternative to modern teeshirts (which often come with a percentage of lycra). Do you layer them over a camisole or a petticoat.

@n_factorial Год назад

Just a thought - I also feel like I can’t throw away yarn scraps, but for the truly tiny amounts that I can’t really knit with, I just save them to use as stuffing in knitted toys or pillows. Perhaps you could use some leftover yarn bits to stuff your hexipuffs? Works best with lofty yarns.

@sannevanbeers Год назад

The Victorian gloves you are making are such a beautiful thing to make!! 😊

@Onehallofacreation Год назад

I LOVE the way the patchwork cardigan looks so much! But if you feel you would love it better a little tighter, what about making the two long rectangles along the sides thinner or eliminating them completely?
