Hope you enjoy this little game! Major thank you to those of you who sent over your WYR questions :) would love to see your answers in the comments! x

@TaylorBKnits Год назад

I’d rather work with a color I hate because colors tend to grow on me, whereas I’ve consistently hated the same fibers for years 😂

@angelaobernesser9167 Год назад

I love that your husband pays attention to your knitting talk!! My boyfriend has watched me mutter to myself about my knitting while I'm trying things on in front of the mirror and he says "oh, that'll block out" 🤣🤣

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

He’s a keeper 😁

@elodi_rose Год назад

“I don’t hate swatching, I just don’t do it.” 😂😂😂😂 I’ve never identified more😂 Love you Bethany, and this mom cut is so cute!!

@lizwhaley9676 Год назад

I would absolutely choose "never make a mistake" over "super speedy knitting." Both would be great because I'm kind of a product knitter, but as a perfectionist, there are SO MANY UFOs in my repertoire because a mistake was made too far back to try to fix. So many abandoned projects and it's so heartbreaking.

@julianas.1492 Год назад

Bethany, you look like an angel here! 😍 The white knit on your pale skin and your short red hair is just beautiful

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Oh wow thank you 😇

@emmanuelleh7218 Год назад

I will 100% frog a project if the fit isn't right. I will be complaining about it for a day but I'd rather have something that fits great than a finish project I'm not going to wear. So much so that I've started marking where I'm weaving in the end with a different coloured thread looped in so it's easier to frog just in case.

@PathsToMath Год назад

I did that to a raglan sweater with too long sleeves, and I was so happy I did it because then I really got to wear it, and although I was a little scared to do it, it was great to feel that i could do it.

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Yes! I’m so looking forward to fixing this cardigan up!

@judeoliver5256 Год назад

Bethany I'm SOOO surprised you would not want to seam a garment because your finishing is outstanding!. Would love it if you would do a video on how you finish your work!!!

@theinvader9275 Год назад

I would love to see you try knitting with two random twigs 😂 you trying some of these in real like would be so hilarious

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Oh it’s coming!! i want to do this

@beepbopboop3221 Год назад

DPNs! I even have 2 sets of the most used size for sleeves. Speaking of sleeves, what is sleeve island? They go fast. I don't get what the issue is. The second sock also goes fast for me. It's the first sock that takes me forever because that's the one that I tweak for gauge, size, and fit. I have high arches (longer heel flap) and narrow heel (narrower heel flap) plus bunions (short row an extra inch on bunion side - it keeps the sock pattern from twisting).

@sarahhogner3499 Год назад

Your no frills sweater is so beautiful on you. It looks so pretty and suits you so well!

@two-huskies-knit Год назад

I have been knitting for almost 15 years and I felt similarly about needing to belong to the Ranunculus cub. After three false starts, one finished object that ended up being completely frogged out, and now being almost finished with a t-shirt that will definitely be my final Ranunculus attempt, I can honestly say, I don't know what the big deal is with this pattern. I have learned a TON through the process of all these failed attempts though....I wish someone had reminded me at the start not to be afraid of modifying based on what you know works for you!

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Oh yeah I already know I’m not going to fiddle with the CO and just do long tail 😄 I didn’t understand the hype of it either and it’s not my usual style but I guess this spring I’m interested in lace/texture! Let’s see what happens :)

@cubeography Год назад

my first knitted garment is the cardigan no 7 because of you! the first vid i saw of you was the me made wardrobe and instantly fell in love with the piece.

@annabelle7123 Год назад

You should definitely try lace pattern for the summer! I made two Ranunculus in my first two years now so I recommend it 😉 Btw i recommend steaming the yarn after unraveling, it tames the curl. You can do it with any iron with steam. Thx for the fun podcast!

@haleymartin9342 Год назад

I totally agree about the needle size vs yarn type. If I only knit with a size 2 needles, I think I'd be fine.

@lindarobbins6750 Год назад

If you are working with a color you hate, you can always dye the yarn, or even the finished garment, right? For me, that would be any shade of yellow-green. But black covers everything!

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

A loophole!

@peggyshippee6354 Год назад

I enjoyed playing along with you on the ‘would you rather’ game. I love the sweater you are wearing. It looks great on you! I have sworn off knitting with mohair, it flies around my face and I feel so itchy trying to use it.

@elysssjoy Год назад

I love your hair cut! I forgot to submit my question on your story! 😩 would you rather use only harvested yarn from thrifted sweaters, or never knit with natural fibers?

@marciahighsmith4820 Год назад

This was a fun video. I loved hearing your thoughts. I agree with you about plant fibers. I was thinking about trying a cotton/wool mix and see how that goes.

@jhuntsman17 Год назад

What a fun video. Love the sweater you are wearing, it’s gorgeous with you hair and skin tone.

@tatersprecious5827 Год назад

No! If you hate the pattern but love the yarn, at least you end up with a product that you like the yarn of and don't have to look at the pattern again. But if the yarn sucks, you're not going to want the finished product! (Me getting opinionated at six in the morning.) 😂

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Ok! Ok! When you’re right, you’re right 🤣

@noreenlou Год назад

So many great questions and fun answers

@pamelarobinson1379 Год назад

Bethany, I just subscribed. I'm new here and I just love this channel. Thank you :)

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Welcome 😊

@heidiclarke2333 Год назад

Enjoyed this, i am on body island at present having done the sleeves first so i can use as much yarn as possible on thebody length.

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Body island always feels more manageable to me 😄 good luck!

@jujibelle9793 Год назад

LOL your face at 9:05 😂 That's the most attitude I've ever seen you have 😂

@OriginalELQ Год назад

LOL I'd have to let my yarn tangle every time i knit because my left hand simply will not do continental 😂

@streakyj2 Год назад

i've frogged a whole mohair swtr to make a different pattern, so....but the seamed vs 3mm needles is a tough choice! 🙂

@streakyj2 Год назад

(i used a seam ripper a lot to separate the sts)

@bigblackdogfiberarts Год назад

I dislike wool/cotton blends soooo much. I don’t even know why. They just feel icky in my hands. I’m not a big fan of cotton to begin with, but blended with wool? Nope.

@NikkiPuzio Год назад

I would rather eat gravel XD.

@lynnthomas7275 Год назад

I've been knitting for decades and I cannot stand the ranunculus! Maybe it's just my age but don't like the love note either. Definitely not into cropped items but I am almost 68 so that probably explains it

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Yeah you know at first I wasn’t all that crazy about it, but my mind has changed :) we will see how I like it

@homesteadingwoman Год назад

I notice that a lot effective English style knitters talk about elbow pain. I learned Continental style, and I have tendonitis in both arms, and have not had any elbow pain. I tried multiple times to learn English style before finding Continental. I find English to be more "fiddley", like you make movements that aren't common in every day life. Maybe that's why so many English knitters have pain? I don't know, I am not a doctor.

@candice2371 Год назад

Dear you cut your hair already ❤👍nice I also just cut my hair last month 😊

@WellLovedKnits Год назад

Thank you! Short hair grows fast 😜 Always feels good to have a fresh haircut

@pakedermsfavs9080 Год назад

❤❤

@bellasilva2983 11 месяцев назад

What is the sweater pattern you are wearing?

@annabelle7123 Год назад

Omg you don’t do swatching…??? 😧😲😵 i do it just easily like 1 inch length without blocking but I still try 😅 the knitting fairies will hate you~ just kidding! I don’t know how you don’t try swatching… maybe use the same, similar yarn with same fabric/fiber every time? I’m knitting with all kinds of wool, cotton and silk with different yarn from the pattern so i have to try…

@shannonking6402 Год назад

I know for me I just don’t search because I’m impatient lol, i the knitting fairies have not yet come to arrest me yet though I’m sure someday my luck will run out lol
