May was a BUSY month! I’ve got a bit of a life update to catch you up on in today’s episode, as well as my knitting progress these last 6 weeks (!) since my last podcast. It can honestly be kind of a bummer to have to dedicate time to work and life outside of yarn when it’s your ~one true obsession~, but life is also a balance, and I’m learning a little more about that every day of this busy season of life. I hope you enjoy the new episode and I’ll be back-fingers crossed, much sooner-with some new yarny goodness to share.
Go check out my pals!

I think it would be so cool to see you and Marlene together in a podcast while she is visiting.

@truelaneknits Год назад

We are going to be filming a bunch together! ❤️

@ihesharema Год назад

I agree!!!

Hi Chelsea, I work as an architect and I can totally imagine the scene you described 😂 I’m still new in the community and don’t have friends who knit, crochet or sew around me yet, but I can imagine the amazing feeling of someone recognizing your work. Congratulations to you on all of your accomplishments! Sandy

@birchandlily Год назад

Another wonderful video Chelsea! Glad to see you back!

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thanks for watching Amanda! 🧶🧡

@janhatfield76 Год назад

I enjoy your podcast tremendously! I love your enthusiasm over your yarn and your projects. The color of your Cumulus blouse is my favorite color. I'm not sure how I would look in that color, but I see it in my future. Happy Knitting

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thank you so much for the kind words, Jan! 😍 it is such a wonderful green, and made the Cumulus an extra special piece 🥰

@SylviaTricote Год назад

Living for the super bright yarn! And love the rainbow speckly one.

@truelaneknits Год назад

Makes sense given your username! 😅🌈

@@truelaneknits haha indeed, I have some similar colors on the needles rn

@montag_knits Год назад

Hi from France ! 👋 Litteraly OBSESSED with both your hair and the color of your kumulus blouse ! I need yo find a similar yarn 💚 Love your podcast Thanks !! Emma 🌞

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thank you so much! I hope you find a good green 💚

@saraw8503 Год назад

While you were showing the cumulus blouse my mind was screaming……model it! I want to see it worn!

Ahaha thanks Sara! I'll probably wear it in the next episode! xo

@truelaneknits Год назад

LOL. My mom has a bunch of sewing machines so I’m like…I’m equipped, I might as well 😅

@2catsandadoberman167 Год назад

You literally just made me head off and buy the Cumulus. I am busy with her Alice Top and love the patterns, but I wasn't sure about the Cumulus. The colour you chose though has inspired me.

@jessk7240 Год назад

I’m obsessed with the soufflé top! Gorgeous. I need to get that on my list to make. I just love that one of the partners at your work asked about your hand knit and even picked out a bit to ask about. So sweet.

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thank you Jess, it was a fun knit! 😍 I know, right? It was too funny 😆

@Knitweekend Год назад

It is such a great combo of knits you’ve finished!! Also, the lack of notice of your lovely knits in your professional office. I get the same thing!! One time someone complimented my pants WHILE I WAS WEARING A NEWLY FINISHED SWEATER. All I could do was stare at her. 😂

@truelaneknits Год назад

😂😂😂 OMG you get me exactly. A female coworker complimented my shoes on a handknit day 🤣 thank you Hailey! ❤

@Theis-songs Год назад

I love that newsprint yarn ❤ it’s going to be such a cute sweater

@Theis-songs Год назад

Oh! And you can totally hem that dress yourself. Or mail it to a friend 😜

@truelaneknits Год назад

My newspaper pal!!! I’m definitely going to try 😎🪡

@pagesandpurls Год назад

Your finished cumulus looks SO CUTE. Also, that Noro yarn and the madelinetosh antique rose are gorgeous, I need those 😍 can’t wait to see your knitted projects with those! Also not to be weird but whenever you talk about your fashion blogger days and the fact that now you make your own clothes, I think how I’d LOVE to read a romcom/ novel like that

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thank you Hannah!! Omg that’s such a lovely thought! I’ll have to jot down some brainstorms on that 😍

@marleneknits Год назад

I love all of your fos, wips and plans as always chelsea! 🥰 can’t wait to start our strider mirco KAL 🤭 I feel you on the very limited knitting time 🫠

@truelaneknits Год назад

I can’t wait too!!

@SimpleBegiknits Год назад

The sage green of your cumulus blouse is STUNNING!! Absolutely gorgeous!

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thank you, I’m in looove with it! It’s so unique 😍💚

@KatharinaB23 Год назад

It sounds awesome to make your bag with something handmade by your granddad that will always remind you of him. I'm looking forward to seeing videos of your time together with Marlene. I love both your podcasts and projects. I wish I could get all the LotR colourways, they look soooo beautiful!

@truelaneknits Год назад

I know, it will be such a special bag to have! Thanks so much for the kind words 🧶🧡

@AMFibers Год назад

I'm so happy to see you! I love how you aren't afraid of color. Sure, you use a lot of neutrals, but a lot of podcasters I watch only use variegated yarns and speckles for socks. Whenever they say "it's a bit wild for a garment," I think, "wait, do I wear crazy clothing?" Because I've always thought I'm pretty basic with clothing and as an attorney I kind of have to be, but a muted variegated yarn seems perfectly reasonable to me. 😅 And this is no shade to people who only like to wear solids. Everyone should wear what makes them happy! It's just nice to see someone who wears similar colors to me. 😊

@truelaneknits Год назад

I just love knitting with fun colors! I’m definitely not an all neutrals person 😅color keeps me inspired and perks up my mood so I’m always happy to mix them into my wardrobe 😍

@allisonmarieknits Год назад

Count me in on your next cumulus blouse knit along, it’s been on my to knit list for ages! The green of yours is perfect 😍

@thebooknivore Год назад

I wish I didn’t have to spend so much time working and having more time to just knit 😂 one of my current wips is actually a cumulus because of your last podcast talking about yours! I can already tell I’m going to wear it all the time once I finish it!

@truelaneknits Год назад

Oh I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! What color are you doing?

@thebooknivore Год назад

@@truelaneknits I’m using suri as well but from Pasley Knits Heartstopper collection. I’m using the red (more pinkish because of the base) “Was He a Knob”!

@asolmsted Год назад

I have not, but people keep mentioning Lily Kate Makes to me lately! I’ll have to check her out!

@tinakragelund5105 Год назад

Such a great video. Have been waiting for a new one. Love your Channel - being a new knitter myself I have been re-watching your Old videos so many times now 😁 Doing my first sweater right now - and the Cumulus is next on the list 🧶😃 Also - hope you are able to hold up with two jobs. Sound like a lot, even if you love both jobs. So please take Care 🙏🇩🇰 love fra Denmark

@truelaneknits Год назад

Oh my goodness thank you so much Tina! Congratulations on doing your first sweater, that’s so exciting 😍

@wildnatureknits Год назад

Congrats on the new job! I feel ya with the limited time though- I wish I could quit my 9-5 and become a full-time knitter 😅

@truelaneknits Год назад

Right?! The dream 😅 the only problem is I left the influencer life behind so…would have to get very creative finding a way to do it full-time without that, haha!

@unichan5 Год назад

As someone who has been hoarding yarn for literal years I can tell you that the right project is going to reveal itself at one point or another. I would just advise against buying too many single skeins and more sweater quantities. The other day I found a cute pattern and I had the exact same yarn in the pattern picture colourway in my stash 😂 Imagine my surprise! That doesn‘t happen all the time but what I love most is that yarns find their true purpose or pattern by accident. Yarn was intended to make a colourwork sweater? Well, now one skein is used for my niece’s sweater instead. What I meant to say is: do whatever you feel comfortable with. If you don‘t like the yarn you got in Portland now, maybe you‘ll think differently another year from now? If you have the space/resources to keep it, I‘d consider keeping it. Anyway, thanks for sharing all your projects and WIPs with us, I’m now subscribed for your calming voice and enthusiastic way to present your knitting 💌

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate you sharing your experiences without turning it into unsolicited advice, thanks again ☺️ that is SO FUN that you had the same yarn as that pattern-I seriously love knitting kismet! 😅 thank you so much for the kind words and for following along 🧶🧡

@unichan5 Год назад

@@truelaneknits Knitting kismet is an amazing expression 😄 I’m going to claim that if you don’t mind. And if there‘s one thing I hate then it‘s overbearing people. You do you, no matter what you decide to do with your stash or otherwise. Looking forward to the next episode, whenever that might be. ☺️ Makes me want to return to making my own knitting podcast honestly!

OMG I am currently knitting the soufflé blouse the mohair version while watching this and I’m debating on casting on my next project with one of the lord of the rings yarns I got. I got army of the dead and the white wizard. Actually your past videos made me start following long dog yarns and I was so excited about the pre order months ago.

@truelaneknits Год назад

OMG amaaazing! We’re living parallel yarn lives hehe. That makes me so happy to hear! I LOVE Army of the Dead so much 🤩💚

@johannapfeiffer6676 Год назад

Hi, thanks for all your details. I wonder, would you recommend the dapple yarn for a long sleeve summer sweater? Specifically the super simple summer sweater by Joji? Thanks in advance.

@truelaneknits Год назад

Thanks so much for the kind comment! I can’t say for certain, but I imagine it would be lovely! It is still a DK with 60% Merino, but it looks like lots of people on Ravelry have used Dapple for that pattern and it looks great 😍

@Kpup Год назад

I think what you’re trying to say is men vs women 😂😂. I work with 95% women and they ALWAYS fawn over my hand knits. “Did you make that!?? It’s SO good!” Even if they aren’t knitters 😂😂
