Hi Mel, white mohair swatch looks really nice

@venmanjenny 4 месяца назад

I agree! Softer tones

I really like the grey for the lennon sweater. From far away it will look grey, but once you get closer, you see the unexpected detail of the colours. Also, if it's going to the playground, the grey will show less dirt ;) Another thought, the brighter version would be lovely for spring, but may not feel right in the fall?

@Muminalfurinn 3 месяца назад

I'm all for the grey. I also looks a lot like the biches et buches le petit lambswool candy which is absolutely gorgeous.

I like the grey a bit more than the white. I have the makeittweed too and im combining it with grey drops lima for a chestnut sweater!

I really like grey swatch, the tweed looks fun standing out :)

@barbaraangier9967 4 месяца назад

Hi Mel. I really ie the grey for your “last winter knit”

@like.other.girls. 4 месяца назад

Hi Mel, I would go with the gray Brushed Alpaca. The color doesn't look flat because the tweed breaks up the color again and again and thus brings dynamism to the swatch itself.

I saw the Make it Tweed yarn at my LYS and initially thought it was way too busy just seeing it alone, but now I have to pick some up and knit it with gray yarn for the Champagne cardigan! It looks like a great way to have champagne on a beer budget.

@madelinetokarz7134 4 месяца назад

I like the whiter version best :)

So great once again Thank you

Grey all the way for the Lennon. The white is pretty but gives off a softer more feminine feel than is suited to that design imo.

@theresakeough3394 4 месяца назад

I like whatever helps the tweed stand out most 😊

@evaromain3199 4 месяца назад

Hi, very nice patterns on the go. I like the white for the lennon. See you soon with your projects.

@victoriacutler3612 4 месяца назад

I think the white mohair adds some depth to the fabric. But they are both good! 😃

@irenama 4 месяца назад

thank you very much for the inspiration, for so many new ideas and plans. thank you !

@egoreknits 4 месяца назад

I really like the swatch with the white. Which is interesting considering I usually go with gray. Both look nice, but the white somehow seems brighter to me. Even the little tweedy bits look brighter.

You have such beautiful knits planned! Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

So nice to think forward to warm weather projects. You have great taste in knits and names! -Darcie in NH USA

@susanbossung9098 4 месяца назад

I vote for the grey. The white looks light and not for that pattern. It’s pretty, but the grey fits the pattern Bette r.

Lovely new video 🥰 definitely the swatch with the white mohair !!

@louisegentillet9244 4 месяца назад

What exciting knits you have in your plans ! I hope you will have a great time knitting them 🎉 Have a nice day Melissa and thank you for this video 😊 Louise

@melissalampman7214 4 месяца назад

Mel, your Paul sweater is gorgous, and the colour looks 💋 on you!

@hipknithooray 4 месяца назад

Can’t wait to see your cognac sweater! 🤩 I was a bit surprised to see a spring/summer knitting video already in my feed but your rationale makes so much sense…I usually finish my summer knits in late august/september due to poor project planning when it’s already starting to get too cold to wear them

@YoungfolkKnits 4 месяца назад

Mel that sage color is stunning ❤❤❤❤❤

The tweed stands out more with the WHITE

Hi Mel. I really like the white

@kasiamichalec2305 4 месяца назад

What a beautiful projects to make for the warm weather. I think it is a great and most practical idea to start knitting your projects before the season arrives, and I actually came up with the similar schedule. However part of my knitting is celebrating the season I am currently experiencing and (I live in Alberta) our summers are sweet and usually very hot. Which means that August and early September can have the highest summer temperatures, following a quick dip into a colder season, and “sweater weather”. I can’t imagine having even a fingering wool or mohair on my needles during high temperatures outside. I guess I had accepted this struggle and part of my summer projects are waiting for me to enjoy them in the next season. Knitting my garments is becoming a “very, very slow fashion movement” lol. As for the swatches, the grey on grey with the tweed resonates more with me for the spring jacket project you have in mind. The alpaca, although it is also grey, but still adds dimension to the colour and tweed makes it more fun and eye catching. The white mohair adds a bit of the “ Snow White” effect.

@stringthingsbymel 4 месяца назад

If Vancouver had really hot summers I'd probably wouldn't want to knit with wool or mohair either! I totally get what you're saying. Last year I was wearing knits on knits to try to get more wears in of my summer knits in the Fall. Thanks for your thoughts on the tweed swatches.

Привіт Мел. Нехай всі плани здійснюються. Бажаю успіхів

@badassnumberxiii 4 месяца назад

This totally motivates me to think about my spring/summer knits! Thanks for all the great ideas! I hope youre able to get through your list! And also, maybe just see what colour you're more likely to wear for the Lenon Sweater. And then also just consider the use of where you would be wearing it. I definitely lean towards the grey because you can see the stitches better. Maybe do a bigger swatch? Might help you make your decision.

@champagneknits9333 4 месяца назад

I prefer the swatch with the mohair!

@andreabush1742 4 месяца назад

I like the whiter version.

@jennifermckenzie2968 4 месяца назад

If you are looking for camisoles, check out the Staple Linen Top by Joji. I've knit it twice. The first one I used 1.5 skeins for a small, the second one I only used 1.25 skeins to knit the small but my gauge was tighter and I ended up with an xs. The other one I've knit and love (although I have to put elastic in the i-cord straps) is the Anou Tanktop by Isabel Van Elsen. It has gorgeous lace sides. Then there's always Jesse Maed's Outline Tank but it's a looser fit.

@barbsullivan4201 4 месяца назад

I like the light one better also. The other one seems too dull!

Lenon sweater - prefer the grey but I think I’d try another coloured mohair, bluish tone maybe?

@fetesha 4 месяца назад

Could you stripe the colors for the linen sweater? Or use the white combo for the cuffs and trim?

@erayeda.t 4 месяца назад

I love the white mohair swatch. I don't find that it tones down the tweed speckles at all 😊

@ursulas9369 4 месяца назад

Your Paul sweater looks great! My personal choice for the Lenon would be the cream touch me mohair. I want a very similar combo for a longer oversized cardigan but couldn't get the make it tweed for a long time. I have had it for a while now but still haven't decided what other yarns to use. Definitely light grey/cream marl and mohair and needs to be light so probably with one strand unspun plus something...

@stringthingsbymel 4 месяца назад

Thanks! I get what you're saying about something light. I was trying to use what's in my stash but I also don't want to limit myself if I don't have too. What do you think about something like Drops Air with the make it tweed? Or Camarose snefnug?

@thriftythreader5998 4 месяца назад

What is the Paul sweater? Not finding it on Ravelry and RU-vid translation leaves much to be desired. Your knitting is beautiful and you choose patterns that always flatter you. I really enjoy your videos.

@stringthingsbymel 4 месяца назад

Hi, I'm wearing the Paul Sweater in this video. Here are the links to Ravelry and the designer's website: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/paul-sweater-3 morecaknit.com/products/paul-sweater

@ursulas9369 4 месяца назад

@@stringthingsbymel that is my current idea. The lightest grey Drops Air with one strand of natural white Hillesvag unspun plus a white mohair and the make it tweed. I have all of it but haven't swatched yet. I rarely knit with a single strand of yarn but 4... But i want a large gauge and imagine it looking great. If I manage to swatch I'll send you a pic!
