I love your explanation of the ethical choices vs legal ones that designers face. It's kind of the same with sewing. Direct copying is a no-no especially if passed off as an "original". .... giggle, yes, seam allowance is the phrase. Self made mitten blockers are a great idea. Your new camera is working beautifully. I'm doing my Otra gauge swatch by making my son a hat first as I wait for my yarn to arrive. Contrast colour to the left...a knitting mantra.Love your raspberry cardigan...totally my style. Lovely chat. HUgs

I completely forgot to say that instead of my usual discount, 20% of the Speedy Snow Mittens will be donated to my local homeless charity Whitechapel Mission by the end of the week. Thank you! You can read more about it in my latest Instagram post about the mittens. You don't need Instagram to view it. :)

The camera looks awesome and did the portrait mode well. It also focused really quickly. I didn't notice the sound really. Great purchase. Love the new mittens. Love them. I have this last round of selbu mittens and will get these as well! The mini mitten would also work for an infant I believe. Better to dress without a thumb hole.

@SkeindeerKnits 4 года назад

Thank you! And yes they can easily be knitted on a range of sizes really! :)

Hi! I noticed the difference in the video immediately, it looks beautiful. Nothing wrong with the old camera (I would watch your video regardless) but I loved the video with the new one.

@Mindfulnessification 4 года назад

Thank you, Elli, for the beautiful podcast! Your sweaters and mittens are beautiful!!!! ❤️👏🏼🐑👏🏼❤️

Your new camera is great!! I love the Nordbakkan! I'm not normally a red person, but I think I would make an exception for that! It's so lovely!

Thank you!!

😮😮😮😮 YOU FINISHED YOUR PLOTULOPI dress!!! I’ve wished for a whole year that I could see you finished it! I can’t believe it. It’s beautiful I love it it’s so pretty. The deep red is so striking and the detail around the bottom..🥰 Maybe one day you will wear it and show it off! Yes I can tell you got a new camera. I watch on a huge Samsung and the colors are much deeper and richer. Your books in the background are really dark red and your purple shirt is dark and rich looking. The overall quality is noticeably better. I just really LOVE that dress!

@susanmcfarlane6897 4 года назад

Love the new camera, there is a difference, warmer, a bit more detail. Lens noisy a little when focusing on close objects. But a separate microphone could help that. Like output from your other camera too.

@Linda-ku4xq 4 года назад

I absolutely love the way you have made the Islander so fresh and modern. I wouldn’t have looked at your store bought one and thought “that’s for me” but when I saw your version it suddenly became something I definitely want! I am fairly new to colourwork so I think a few mittens are in order first (just waiting for Black Friday to support your donation!) and then I will attempt the sweater. Another fantastic pattern - thanks so much!!

@denisejeffries2675 4 года назад

Quick comment as I just clicked on for 10 seconds into your podcast...however you are recording it, the quality is gorgeous!!!! Wow, Eli! Alright, now back to watching 🤗

@patricialoux5193 4 года назад

I always enjoy seeing your new designs! You are very talented!

@TheHappyKnittingPodcast 4 года назад

Your new camera looks amazing - I noticed the video quality right away and yes, I also geek out about these things! :D I would love a year-long skeindeer-along, I'm sure plenty of us would join in!

@readknitwithcheryl 4 года назад

HI Ellie! My goal for next year, is to learn how to do color work, and try one of your designs.I haven't gotten the guts up to try any, yet, but next year, I will! Love, love, love your designs and your podcast! I also love how passionate you are about size inclusion. I am a big lady, and I really appreciate the designers who are including all sizes in their patterns.

@den6001 4 года назад

I have been waiting for Islander since you first showed it in progress! I can't wait to cast this one on!! I have to finish my kosekofte first. Thank you!

@SisuKnits 4 года назад

Lovely designs again. I like your modern Nordic touch. 😍

@redgatecrafts 4 года назад

I can’t decide which is cuter: the tiny mitten or your giggle and excitement about said mitten 😍 Your designs are all so beautiful! I noticed the change in camera pretty quickly: such high quality :) Another really interesting podcast, thank you :) P.S. Those dress sizes 😱😱

@lindatyrhaug6211 4 года назад

Oh, that read cardigan!!! I love it

@elisajylkka850 4 года назад

Love the mittens and actually everything you make 😍💕 oh my god those sizes! 😧🙈 I have 100cm bust even I am so called petite person as I am 152cm tall and usually I wear M size on shirts but if it is very elastic I can get by with size S.. and if I wouldn't know how to modify patterns I would be lost with that dress, what is just gorgeous! 😍💕 but those sizes are just pure evil 😣🙈

@freeformknits6338 4 года назад

thank you for a wonderful episode!

@kristinhelgesentorkveen2154 4 года назад

Love your red cardigan 🥰🥰 And the mittens 😉

@smallofferings 4 года назад

That cardigan is beautiful! Sounds like the company are still working with the sizes from the seventies/eighties/early nineties. When I was younger the size uk 14 jeans I am currently wearing would have been a size 18 or 20. A 94cm bust would have been equivalent to a U.K. 14 or 16 and would definitely have been considered ‘large’. We are all much bigger than we used to be in every way: bigger frames, taller and fuller figured - the consequence of plentiful food, and dress sizes have mostly been regraded to reflect that, but not all companies have caught up yet, though it’s time they did. Whilst we are waiting for that though, I do agree with you about taking matters into our own hands.

Your knits are so gorgeous, congrats on the new patterns! The image on your camera looks great! You were wondering about WB, it may have been a hair on the warmer side, but overall really lovely. An external microphone or lav mic would help with the lens noise. Have a great week!

@katgore99 4 года назад

Love the new camera! Peace.

@lisanne8525 4 года назад

I'd love to do a year long "Head-to-toe" colourwork-along, where you make a colourwork garnment, a head and a neck accessoire, a pair of mittens and a pair of socks. I've never participated in the mittalong because I don't need that many mittens and I like a bit more variation in my knitting, but this way, you could make yourself an entire outfit.

@dinaboop 4 года назад

You put your Klukka in the washing machine! Ahhhh, girl, no! I could never do that, I've ruined too many things that way, but yours still looks great so it's fine, but yeah, I'm having chest pains just thinking about it, hehe.

I always wash all wool in my washing machine. Never had any problems at all.

@craneshowpigs 4 года назад

Your new camera is amazing, Eli!! Would you mind sharing what brand you are using?

4 года назад

I wish I could say that the size inclusion was better now with the Lopi designs, but no, I have not found it to be so. Very few sizes and very small. The new camera is sweeeeet! Enjoy it!

@riinatariinata 4 года назад

Those sizes! 93 can be a small, those sizes are outrageous 🤦🤦 (love the mittens! And islander!😍 We need more colorwork mittens for vams and fritidsgarn so we don't just have the one with the Marius pattern on the cuffs 👏)

@Shasha-jo5iv 4 года назад

Yeah was so disappointed! Already few colorwork dresses an then this one's sizing is a joke 😥

@MollySing 4 года назад

The new camera is looking very nice. Will there be a WIP roundup soon?

@heatherjohnson3074 4 года назад

Hey!!!! Love you and your sass! What needles do you usually use for your mittens? Magic loop? 9 or 12 in circs?

@strikketerapi2777 4 года назад

de nye vottene er så fine! og veldig fint bilde (og lyd!) med det nye kameraet! // kristin

@CassieDA17 4 года назад

I’m new to your channel and have only knit one pair of mittens so I would be up for a mitten KAL anytime

@katelewis5864 4 года назад

Can definitely see a difference with the new camera - much sharper definition. Off topic, but what does a pattern tech editor actually do? I understand (I think!) what test knitters do, but not so much the role of tech editor.

@SkeindeerKnits 4 года назад

Thank you! Tech editors look for errors, check the maths, that all the numbers make sense and add up, spelling, grammar and consistency in use of terminology, abbreviations and formatting. They can also help with schematic illustrations. Test knitters may come across and report these things too, but then it's less methodological and usually only for one size.

@katelewis5864 4 года назад

Skeindeer Knits thanks for that explanation 😘 P.S. love your home town of Trondheim - have visited twice with my choir. Would also really love to visit Bergen. Thanks for your podcast, really enjoy watching x

@jennymiles4426 4 года назад

When you say to always hold your CC in your left hand to achieve correct colour dominance, does this mean that it will go underneath the MC, or on top? I ask because I'm an English knitter who holds both yarns in my right hand - not ideal I know but that's how it works for me, and I usually get good tension in my colour work this way - but I often wonder which should be on top

@SkeindeerKnits 4 года назад

I say always hold it to the left, whether you do left handed, right handed or two handed. It applies to all methods.😊

@MsAlyrocks 4 года назад

Eli: I don't know if you'll be able to tell the difference in the new camera.... Me: (as soon as the video starts) HOLY FUCK THATS A NEW CAMERA. (My mom is a photographer so it might just be me)

@SkeindeerKnits 4 года назад

Hahahaha I love that 😄

@Colorado106 4 года назад
