*October 2023 - Seedling Stitch Knitting Podcast*
Welcome to a new regular episode! I have soooooo many projects to share! Since I decided to pause my own knitting design, I've taken the leisure to cast on many fantastic projects from my favourite designers. I steeked (again)! And walked you through my process of making a Japanese Fair Isle slipover pattern with steeking and a complex construction. I showed all the yarn and tools that I brought back from China. I made a little progress in sewing, too. Hope you enjoy this episode, and thank you so much for watching!

Please, continue podcasting, you provide an interesting window into a knitting kaleidoscope world. Also, probably it is a wise decision not to thrust yourself into a designing business, but keep it up occasionally for the fun of it and to keep you present and gather experience. The most interesting designers (imho) are those who design things that they want to knit and wear and don't find exactly that already on the market - and not those that need to feed the market because they need to make living in this business. Knitting business is a tough one, and it has many dark and dirty sides if you want to profit from it, not much differently as many many many completely different business fields. Knitting community, on the other hand, is lovely, a sisterhood that connects people even if otherwise do not have much in common.

Thank you for a great podcast, I find you very interesting and so talented. Your slipover is gorgeous and I really like the low contrast colours you have used. I also like how you show that you don’t always have to spend a lot of money to enjoy your hobby. Using your dumbbells when blocking is a good idea especially when just starting out knitting. I love your honesty when you talk about your future and needing a reliable steady income. Good luck in everything and hope to see you soon. You inspire me a lot x

I'm a beginner knitter but I was also the person who bought a Japanese pattern book on etsy years ago before learning the language or how to knit! I'd been watching so many knitting podcasts since I started learning a few months ago but you're the first who I feel really shares my knitting aesthetic and is also Chinese! I must admit I also feel more culturally connected to Chinese content creators despite being abc and basically illiterate.. I'm so happy to have found your channel! It feels like it'll take me years to get to steeking but thank you for sharing your knits and your story. ❤

Hi! I totally enjoyed your whole clip! As I’m an engineer and statistician, from the start I found your presentation style very familiar! I studied in America. ;) I’m a self-taught knitter and youtube is my best teacher. I like this material as a flexible medium to realize my ideas freely. I’m now back in Korea but my daughter is studying in Toronto, so I’m also searching for a way to move to Canada. I love knitters - they are my kind of people (mostly introvert nerds hehe). Thanks for sharing your works and thoughts! Looking forward to another video! Cheers!

This was a really fun watch! Steeking scares the hell out of me, I'm not trying that anytime soon ... :'D One thing I love about knitting and yarn art is that you can take it as slow or as fast as you want, and I completely understand your reasoning for not wanting to pursue a career in knitting which would make you feel obligated to try branch out into things that might not fuel your passion. I love your voice and perspective on knitting outside of the English speaking world. I'm quite a slow knitter myself and I buy yarn first and then choose a pattern, so I haven't yet purchased one of yours but I'm very likely to when I'm making my 2024 knitting plans! Your vine collection is beautiful and the pine and fir sweater is such an interesting pattern, I just haven't found the right yarn match yet.

I really like the way you share and love all the patterns you have made, they are absolutely beautiful. I love Japanese designs too, and it's great to hear you share and connect with people about this, I'm in Vietnam very near to China, can you share and give me the link to buy yarn in China? I see you said they sell 10g or 20g of yarn which is very suitable for knitting in colorwork. But where I live, they always sell 50g or more. Sometimes, the pattern that only use a few grams, so buying too much is a waste and it is also difficult to combine with other patterns unless there are many yarn colors. Thanks so much! Love
@SeedlingStitch
@SeedlingStitch 6 месяцев назад
Thank you! The store only sold the yarn in small amount for the Ophelia Slipover as a whole kit, but not individually, and they don’t even sell the kit anymore 🙁. I don’t have links for Chinese yarn shopping because those orders are place on a Chinese online sale App called Taobao and is impossible to use for those who don’t read Chinese. They only ship within China as well. If you do have connection in China, you can ask them to buy these yarn for you.

I am very glad you said "pause designing" instead of "I'm not going to design any more." If you have ideas for patterns in your head, they are going nag you like a spoilt child until they get out into the world. If you decide not to publish them right away, perhaps you could keep a journal of your ideas so you don't lose them - or worse, see a pattern release that is the same as the design you were planning. As far as testers, there a few testers groups on Ravelry with very experienced (and beginners) knitters & crocheters who give excellent feedback and help. The only jumper (sweater pullover) pattern that I have ever knit more than 1 time is the *Hepburn Pullover* by Jennifer Wood, but I am knitting second *Nouchali* by SusannaIC. They are both so concisely written and fit so perfectly that I want to fill my wardrobe with them. Finally, Aoibhe Ni has some really helpful Tunisian Crochet tutorials (Ava Ni on RU-vid) for people who might be unfamiliar with this amazing technique, or who are ready to dive into it but don't know where to start.
@SeedlingStitch
@SeedlingStitch 6 месяцев назад
Thanks for your input! I feel I’m overwhelmed by the amount of work that comes with writing and publishing patterns at the moment, but I do enjoy just simply designing something to wear myself. I’ve been thinking about just writing a pattern for my own size without grading and sell at a low price, or even just publish my notes as a free recipe. Then without the “entrepreneur” part of an actual “knitting business”, I can still contribute my passion in design to the community…

I was so happy that this podcast showed on my RU-vid feed. More and more I watch other than just North American Anglo podcasters. I am South Asian and love to watch a podcast for the different cultures and food and see what I can learn and also identify with. I think the time will come soon when your patterns will be wanted, It takes a while and there is a reason why some designers get all the hype (and not necessarily because they have great patterns). Hang in there, pull back a little from trying to design and sell but keep making your podcasts. There are many of us who are looking for more cultural diverse podcasts. Thank you!! Happy Birthday!

Your wall garden sweater is so beautiful -that's great that you took the time to fix something that bothers you! I actually just got the kit for that sweater recently while I was in Japan and I am so excited to knit it up! I've never knit a Japanese pattern though, so I'll have to see how that goes haha. And next time I go back to Harbin I will have to ask for your yarn store recommendations!! That's so interesting that you mention that sweater from your grandma - my mom recently gave me a sweater that had a same backstory! I think in that case they had purchased the yarn, and they brought it to the people who knitted it up. In this case though I think the sweater looked machine knit and hand finished! Or at least the yarn looked so thin, I couldn't fathom someone knitting it by hand haha

Edit: Looks like the patterns are only available together with the kit. Too bad, I might have to make my own intarsia pattern.

I just found your channel! I love all your knits and your thoughtful explanations. Would you be able to provide links for patterns and stores (even if they aren’t English). I love the idea of ordering kits with no waste! I think there are many good translation apps these days. I also love Japanese patterns but have never tried to knit one. Maybe now is the time. So glad I found you! ❤

It’s Baa Ble Hat on Ravelry. The yarn is British Eroika and Soft Donegal Tweed, but I suppose you can substitute with other Aran weight woollen yarns.

I just discovered you and I’m very happy about it because I love Japanese knitwear designs more than most others. Unfortunately though, I find them very difficult to get hold of. Do you have any tips on how to get them? I live in the UK. Also, are they always gonna be too small seeings as I am an average European size?
@SeedlingStitch

Hi, thanks! The Etsy shop I put I the description ships worldwide. The Japanese patterns are mostly one size, but you can adjust by changing gauge. And the author Michiyo has a series of 4-size knitting books that offer larger sizes.

The ribbon yarn is best kept until you have a project that is better with ribbon yarn than it is with other yarn. Patterns with drawn out stitches for example.

If your beanie hat isn’t quite big enough, crochet a border. Next time knit more rounds to make the hat deeper.

Thank you and good on you for your ethical stance on pattern distribution. Is it possible for you to give a possible yarn substitution for the Cinese yarns as we can’t get them?
@SeedlingStitch
@SeedlingStitch 6 месяцев назад
Thanks for understanding! As for Chinese yarns, they are really comparable to western yarns in similar components. For example, Sandnes Garn Tynn Line is similar to some summer yarns I showed in the video. And the Chinese silk mohair is very similar to silk mohair from KFO and Sandnes. I’d suggest ask your local yarn store to recommend yarns with a weight and component that you are looking for. They must have better knowledge in substitution!
