Woolen spun yarn or worsted spun is how the fiber is prepped before it's spun. Worsted spun is a tighter more defined spin because the fibers are combed straight before the spin. Woolen spun is loftier and airy. Superwash or Non-Superwash is whether or not a treatment has been used to make the yarn machine washable. The stitch definition has a lot to do with how the yarn is spun and not necessarily whether it's Superwash or not. Look into the terms so you have a better idea of which yarn to use. It'll help you to find substitutions more easily.

@ProjectNotes 23 дня назад

Thank you so much for this comment! You are correct that I used the terms incorrectly. I'm pinning it here so others can use it as a resource. Thanks for watching ♥️

@dmcgw2 18 дней назад

Oh yeah! You could over dye it, rather than pulling it all out. It is beautiful, and you have put in a lot of work on it! Whoever made that suggestion is right! ❤

@hankmelton3994 9 дней назад

You are very impressive. I can't belive you are this good. You are a gift to the universal knitting community. Please continue to share your knitting experience/s with the world. I hope people continue to find you. You also have a very calming voice.

@YarnStorieswithOlivia 20 дней назад

Your channel just showed up on my home page and I’m so glad it did. You have a great presence and so comfortable showing your knits. Looking forward to following your journey here as a podcaster. Don’t apologize for yarn substitutions as we all should use is yarn that makes us happy - I’m a firm believer that all yarn deserves a chance 🫶

@donnarossignol5695 День назад

This has been an excellent podcast. You are lovely, soft-spoken and very humble. I really appreciate that your content is straight up just knitting. I appreciate your honesty too. Looking forward to your next podcast.

@sherryl6028 8 дней назад

Your knits are beautiful and your 1st podcast was great. Thanks for sharing your makes!

@mikedianestephens8010 19 дней назад

I would NOT frog your beautiful sweater. It is gorgeous. Accessorize with your favorite colors.

@mlea79 9 дней назад

Your pressed flowers cardigan is stunning ❤

@sueaxon3688 21 день назад

OOh my goodness! You would never believe this was your first podcast. You were very professional + seemed to be very calm. You spoke eloquently, + your work was beautiful. Well done for taking that first step! I look forward to your next podcast.

@maureencapotosto9257 19 дней назад

Great first episode. Your knits fare lovely. Overdye the sweater. It’s a beautiful design and sounds like lovely yarn.

@leeanne.loves2create 10 дней назад

Your podcast showed up today on my watch list and I’m so glad that it did. I really enjoyed it. Your Pressed Flowers Cardigan is going to be stunning. I love your color choices. Looking forward to more of your podcasts.

@annettekingsley6414 19 дней назад

Congratulations on your inaugural podcast. You are a natural and your knitting is gorgeous. Please do not frog the sweater. Finish it, block it and you accessorize when you style it. It really is lovely and the warm colour will look great on you. If you hate it, gift it or sell it. Keep podcastin💕

@margie7063 22 дня назад

Your pressed flowers cardigan! Beautiful!!!!❤️

@susanmcdermid7663 10 дней назад

A lovely first podcast! The mustard color looks nice with your skin tone, hair, and eyes. Maybe knit a cowl/scarf with more colors to wear with it. It would also be pretty with a flowy woven silk, multicolored scarf near your face. If that doesn't work I agree with others...overdye it, which could be a fun project. Looking forward to seeing you again.

@wendyherman6833 10 дней назад

What a great first podcast. Your pressed flowers cardigan is going to be beautiful. Can't wait to see your next episode.

@dorothyrainey1141 13 дней назад

OHH, I have had the Pressed Flowers cardigan in my library forever! I now know that I love your white and pink combo! It's beautiful!

@carolhudak3173 13 дней назад

Nice job for the first podcast. You are very comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you for sharing your knitting adventures!

@gapeach31781 12 дней назад

I know what you mean about the knitting hobby, I don't know a soul who knits. In SW Ga., everyone crochets. Oh well, least there is You Tube to connect with other knitters. As for that gorgeous camel colored sweater, no way I'd rip that out. It's beautiful. You can knit another one, if you don't like the color of that one, or maybe you can gift it to someone. The Flowers cardigan is to die for, love your color choices. Congrats on your new podcast, I'm sure you will do well. You are very personable and fun to listen to.

@jenthegirlsauntie8607 13 дней назад

Great job, you were a delight. Looking forward to more of your podcast.

@Baghwanita 13 дней назад

Congratulations - thank you for showcasing your knit passion with a knit podcast. You inspired me to try the pressed flower since I spin myself, and the pressed flower really showcased the beautiful hand-spun yarn so well. Remember that you can redye the Afra sweater - for another color. It is not very difficult, and the sweater is so beautiful. And if it fits, that's the most important. Thank you for putting your voice out. Love from Scandinavia

@sylvia5642 12 дней назад

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 Looking forward to the next episode ❤

@elizabethbradley7794 12 дней назад

You are a natural born podcaster! So happy I found your channel.

@shahub4148 21 день назад

Don’t frog that Agra sweater! It is beautiful! Finish it, block it, and style it. It will surprise you how nice you will look in it. The color is good. I’m enjoying your first podcast. Keep up the good work.

@joyceripianzi 6 дней назад

I vote to finish the sweater and then dye it a dark color. You’ve come so far and it looks great!

@jessicaaldaz344 9 дней назад

Loved listening to you! I agree that you should complete the Afra sweater... you're getting to the best part 😊 Looking forward to your next podcast

@tracyaa1081 9 дней назад

@user-wo5ws5wl3x 9 дней назад

Great job for your first podcast! Afraid sweater...loved the mustard color, but when you posted the pic & I saw it as more an olive green....I can see it washing you out. Go with the teal & consider that a trial run & use it for something/someone else. Looking forward to hearing more from you! I too love Taylor Earl...what a sweetheart!!

@mariamclauchlan8180 12 дней назад

Congratulations on your first podcast. You’ve done an amazing job. Looking forward to seeing many more 🧡🧡🧡

@juliekraft6429 15 дней назад

I am so glad to have found your channel. You are so enjoyable to watch and listen to. I now have a few new views, patterns, yarn, etc. all compliments of your channel. Can't wait to see what's to come.

@kathleencrabb9190 20 дней назад

I think you are a natural in front of the camera. I know that you said you don't have a problem reknitting the Afra but it would pain ME to have you undo all those hours of work. Ask yourself what the original intention you had to wear this with and keep that in mind before the frogging starts. Best of luck with this new adventure and looking forward to your next podcast whenever you have the time to post.

@melissalampman7214 5 дней назад

I think the colour of your afra sweater looks good on you, and… you are almost done! ❤ I also want to make this one day, I too love Irene Lin designs, you have to finish it, and if you don’t wear it, you could carefully over dye it!😊

@RythmnStitches 13 дней назад

Congratulations on your first podcast. Love your scarf version on the Pressed Flowers pattern 💕🫶🏿🙌🏿

@bethpaschal7859 10 дней назад

Great first podcast! It certainly didn’t seem like a first podcast. You have a great presence and way of conversing with us. Just my opinion…keep going on the ochre sweater. You’re almost finished and it’s beautiful! I bet it will look great on you.

@AnneHarris-rn4dn 23 дня назад

Very good first podcast. Please finish the Arfa instead of frogging. Overdye or gift. Pretty colors on the pressed flowers cowl.

@heikeludemann7009 13 дней назад

Hi Claudia, love your podcast and your projects! Is it allowed to say that I love your hair style too? And the wooden background is lovley. Hope to see you soon again. Greetings from Germany

@Ardenknits 15 дней назад

This makes me want to get to work on the Pressed Flowers cardigan that I’ve swatched for, but not really started. Excellent podcast-algorithm brought me here directly after finishing a Wool, Needles, Hands podcast.

@yolandastanfield3243 17 дней назад

Loved your first episode. Great job! Let’s do a KAL with your mom’s sweater. I’ll do one for my mom for Christmas too!

@jodyo1814 16 дней назад

Lovely first podcast 🥰 I will say if you’re not loving the colour or a project whilst knitting it you’re not going to love wearing it, that’s always the case for me at least, but you’ve got so far so I completely agree with finishing it and dyeing over it!

@sandranewman8191 16 дней назад

Great job. Hope to see more of your projects🎉

@hazelj9198 13 дней назад

Wonderful first podcast. Never apologize for substituting yarn. I try to purchase most of my yarn at my local yarn store so I’m always substituting yarn. I am currently spinning yarn to knit a pressed flowers cardigan. Hopefully I will have the yarn spun to cast on in early 2025.

@dianeazzopardi6269 16 дней назад

Great podcast. The first two sweaters I would of kept those colours. They were perfect but you have to fill it in your heart.

@justinewheeler9304 19 дней назад

Great first podcast.

@marellewillett2917 14 дней назад

I'm inspired by your pressed flowers colours. I was struggling to decide what colours to use.... I have totally fallen in love with yours.

@wendywagner8385 16 дней назад

You are so fun to watch! Very knowledgeable and you don’t actually seem nervous at all. Beautiful stitching as well! ( please hold your projects still for a bit) keep it up!

@corrinaunal3323 16 дней назад

Love your podcast! Yes, I think you should frog the sweater for the teal color. It will be worth it since you love the teal…and it will look amazing on your skin!! The yellowish color does not do a lot for your skin.

@juliethornton5553 23 дня назад

Great first pod! Finish the Irene Lin sweater, you’re almost done. As others have said you could always overdye but I think when it’s finished you will still love it 🙂

@ilovejack100 18 дней назад

I love your Afra sweater, the colour is great for fall. If you are that unhappy with it, I would gift it rather than frog it. Just my humble opinion. Thanks for so much inspiration and for being courageous enough to podcast. Looking forward to #2.

@marcyserrano6525 14 дней назад

Congratulations on your first podcast, I love it. You have to knit what brings you joy, if you love the knit, but not the color, rip it out and choose the color that brings you joy and happiness.

@juliamorrisey5541 17 дней назад

Really good first episode!

@annika9162 19 дней назад

Love your podcast, great first episode! The Afra in teal would be so beautiful… especially with your skintone. Altough the ochre is also very pretty. Looking forward to the next chapter and what you will do. 😊

@ellenhealey5147 10 дней назад

PS. I did enjoy your podcast😊

@kimalley7202 22 дня назад

You did a great first video! It was very enjoyable. Loved all your projects and I hope you do not frog the beautiful sweater with that much work in it. Looking forward to future episodes. Happy stitching!

@lgm204 16 дней назад

Your channel popped up and I am so glad I watched!! I love your enthusiasm for knitting. The Afra……such a tough call. If you aren’t loving the colour I think over dying is definitely an option - as long as you love the fit after finishing, after fixing the cuff and after blocking. I love knitting for the s-l-o-w aspect of it ❤

@LindaNixon-ws4ge 17 дней назад

Good job.

@chickadeeknittingclub77 4 дня назад

I just purchased the Pressed Flowers pattern earlier today! My plan is to first explore the construction with a stockinette stitch that matches the gauge, and then do it again and go WILD with the color combinations for the colorwork!

@cplum6874 21 день назад

fabulous debut!!!!

@Stitchesinstem 18 дней назад

Great first episode 😊 I love your description of the sunset colours for your shawl!

@melaniebirdsall4217 15 дней назад

Thank you so much, Claudia, for your lovely podcast. I'm already looking forward to your next one. Thank you too for introducing me to two patterns that I loved - the Darjeeling blouse and the pressed flowers cardigan. I will definitely knit one, if not both. I love that you use colour! So many podcasters seem to knit almost always in neutrals. I agree with everyone about the Afra sweater. You may love it when you've finished it. If not you could gift or sell it.

@stephaniewilliams8687 23 дня назад

Great premier! You are a natural. Your knits are beautiful. I am looking forward to your future projects and episodes.🧶😊

@susankorotkin3386 18 дней назад

I enjoyed your podcast. I have socks as “stress projects”, I knit a tube, then cut in an afterthought heel. They don’t take that long, are small, plus easily portable-my purse project. As for your sweater dilemma - I would finish it. You could always over dye it. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your next podcast.

@debrahookham1620 16 дней назад

I like having a simple knit I can pick up too. I'm working on the half and half, and so close to being finished with the Brume. Great first episode, I look forward to seeing you again.

@M00NR1DER_ 13 дней назад

Wow, doesn't seem like your first episode! Great job! Your pressed flowers cardigan has me yarn shopping 😂 it is so beautiful, and I must have one in similar colors. Can't wait for your next episode!

@jillbabitz9656 15 дней назад

Really enjoyed your podcast. Don’t frog the baby camel. Use a scarf for a color pop you like and the camel will reflect the warmth of your skin tone. You were very enjoyable to listen to. Thanks ! Jill. Salt Lake City

@SoSheRunsWild 14 дней назад

I am so happy I found you!!!! Amazing podcast! I have missed podcasting and and have not been on RU-vid in a while, but I decided to start again and you were the first one to pop up when I logged in today.

@michellemattenson1283 20 дней назад

Swoon on your Pressed flowers cardigan! You have inspired me to put in on my list! OOOH, your Afra sweater, I know you don’t love it BUT it looks gorgeous on camera! Thanks for making your first podcast and have subscribed to watch more in the future. Great projects! And I love your dress and your style!

@redaleta 14 дней назад

Your cowl is gorgeous.

@bimakra01 20 дней назад

@karenhart2923 22 дня назад

Youre beautiful , and what you have created with your hands , is stunning , thankyou for taking the time to show your creations , and i have subscribed . Off to buy yarn ❤😊

@regineolsen1919 22 дня назад

Hi, lovely podcast. I‘d finish the sweater and dye it. Can‘t wait to see your next episode. ❤

@fenrisulven8475 17 дней назад

Go for the blue, for sure. I understand the colour tone may not be as warm as it appeared on camera, but it suits you and I feel it would work very well with the pattern 😊

@marie-louisenordberg7567 12 дней назад

Awesome first podcast. Never wanted to knit the flower cardigan until I say yours. Looks amazing. My sister lives in Nevada. Just emailed her to check out your podcast. Certainly will continue watching your knitting journey. All the best from New Zealand.

@carolturnerrd 14 дней назад

Amazing YT. ❤ you are definitely in the right place 🎉 Think about over dying the sweater. I certainly appears you are so close to a finish!! Look forward to future YT

@little_angel_knits 22 дня назад

Hi Claudia. Congratulations on your first podcast! I really enjoyed watching/listening while knitting on an Irene Lin pattern!! I am also a big fan of her designs. I’m making the Faye summer top. It’s the 4th time I’m making it but the first one I’m doing for myself. Great job on your first podcast and thank YOU for sharing your time to do this. I look forward to watching the next episode 💗

@anne-mareehern 21 день назад

Congratulations on your first podcast, already like a professional :-) I agree with others, continue with your Afra Sweater, can always add a pop of your preferred colors using accessories. Love your Pressed Flowers cardigan, all the swatches paid off for a perfect selection, look forward to seeing your completed items

@marymann3975 15 дней назад

That pink is gorgeous, and you definitely have the cherry blossoms falling on snow!

@knituponastardesigns 22 дня назад

Great first podcast! Your color choices for the pressed flowers cardigan are beautiful. Before you mentioned it, my first thought was that it looked like cherry blossoms.

@GeniaFontaine 21 день назад

Enjoyed your podcast! Keep making more content! On your Afra sweater, I would finish it. If the color really doesn't sing to you see of someone can over dye it to a color you would like. After seeing your pressed flowers sweater I need to jump in the pressed flowers bandwagon.

@dmcgw2 18 дней назад

The color looks beautiful on camera. But, if YOU don't like it, you probably won't wear it very much, and that would be sad. It's a beautiful sweater. Take it out, knit it again in another color that you LOVE!❤ TEALY BLUE IS VERY PRETTY!! 😊

@rosevotkevich8571 22 дня назад

Great podcast 🎉. For your Afra sweater - if you know you’re not going to wear it or gift it to someone who will love it - frog it and use the yarn for something else.

@meretesolvi215 19 дней назад

So Nice to stumble into this lovely podcast 😍 about the sweater: I would finish it (since it is allmost done anyway), and then I would knit it again in the teal colour 🤩💙

@joycecheney8915 9 дней назад

Wow so happy your channel popped up! Welcome to my knitting community I’m in Maine. Was coming to say overdye your sweater like many others have said.

@yarn_dragon 19 дней назад

I really enjoyed your first podcast. About the sweater…It’s almost done. Overdye it! That happened to me with a sweater I had made. I loved the product but hated the way the colors played out on the hand-dyed yarn I used. So…I put it through an intense koolaid bath and it fixed the problem. I loved the results!

@DonnaMull 18 дней назад

I really enjoyed your podcast, hard to believe it's your first, well done! I love the sweater that you are questioning the color, try to imagine it with a really nice necklace nestled in the v-neck.

@jaynehancock-allen2468 22 дня назад

Your first podcast? Wow, you're a natural - really enjoyed it. Love the pressed flowers shawl with great colour choices - I'm just finishing one too. Look forward to your next podcast 😀

@terrigarren4744 22 дня назад

I think it would look great with green

@corriemcclain7960 22 дня назад

The Afra sweater has been on my wish list but I've never seen anyone else podcast about it. I'd over dye it. I promise it's not as hard as it seems.

@pamroebuck4764 22 дня назад

Finish your arfa and gift it, as you've put so much work into it. 😊

@alisonbrown9315 22 дня назад

Love your first podcast, feel like I’m sitting with a friend chatting. finish your sweater and see what it looks like. Love the pattern. You could wear with a coordinating scarf or gift it if you really won’t wear it. Look forward to your next post.

@lizsullinger3291 23 дня назад

Teal looks so much better with your complexion. Congratulations on the podcast…you’re doing great for a first show!!

@scarvalho71 22 дня назад

Hi! I enjoyed your first podcast! Love loved your pressed flowers pink choice!

@sukirohan6695 19 дней назад

Hello i just saw your podcast. Your first podcast? Cannot tell.😊 I am an intermediate knitter and still learning. Thanks for sharing with us

@carolynlambert6989 13 дней назад

G’day Claudia from here in South Australia 🇦🇺 Your podcast was recommended by podcasters ‘The Fruitful Hands’ and I really enjoyed your conversation & content. Pretty colours pressed flowers cardigan 💕Congratulations on starting your podcast I’m excited to see you again 🍀

@orapronobis2149 16 дней назад

Stress knit! Love it. I have the pattern and hesitated to make it for a friend. I will be jotting down great pointers such as swatches (which I will keep for reference in a notebook) to get with this pattern for not a WIP but a Stress Knit bag! Young lady, you bring modern colors that my granddaughters and I would love. One is nineteen, the other five. Both are going to love it. I have put the notification on to avoid missing your next one. I am glad to have been a part of Bravo again for this inauguration. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
