Ciao! My name is Francesca. I'm an Italian knitter and I'm currently based in Italy, after a few years living (and knitting!) abroad. Starting from this episode, I decided to spend less time editing my videos so please forgive all the “uhm”s that come out from my mouth.

Your unedited version was great! Don't waste your time, it's not needed. You have so many beautiful projects. They seem very season appropriate. Thanks for sharing!🦋

@anitalianknitter Totally agree…. Your free time is precious…. Edit minimally ❤

@meletcl Жыл бұрын

Always good to see you and please don't pressure yourself to post more often than you can comfortably fit into your schedule. Another issue to not fret over, there is no need to present a perfectly edited posting. Whatever "imperfections" may occur are actually charming in a way as they create a more homey atmosphere. I appreciate your aesthetic as the items you create and make are what I consider to be classic, classy and understated chic, reminds me of your countryman Armani😊

Your projects are Gorgeous!!! And hello Sandes Garn???? Here is your perfect spokesperson!!!!!!! I will now be ordering Line as Francesca has sold me on all its virtues 🥳 BTW lots of podcasters don’t edit and are fun to watch. Don’t let a silly thing perfection stop you from making a video for us. All would agree we love to see when you’ve shared another episode ❤

I very much enjoyed your podcast. The extensive editing is not necessary. I enjoy watching the natural you so much more. I loved seeing your three completed cumulus tees. I have purchased this pattern and hope to begin it soon and your completed garments give me encouragement and inspiration to get started. Thanks so much!!!

I love the test knit top that you are working on, I will be watching for the pattern release so I can make one. Your cat is so beautiful. Take care and see you next time

None of your non-edits bothered me in the least! You are charming, vivacious, quirky and fun… not to mention talented: all of your summer knits are so beautiful!! I am 100% on board with you about the cumulus tee and pure silk - a dream to knit and wear. I have one and want 3 more!! My problem is actually the time… it takes me quite long to knit that much stockinette on smaller needles. But its worth it. I was so excited to see my name flash by on your drawing, but alas, it landed on someone else. I haven’t tried Line yet. This summer I am trying a pure linen as well as the Holst Garn Coast. It is SO soft with a wonderful drape, very happy so far. I have flown numerous times on international flights and never had any kind of issue with my needles. I usually carry them in my handbag since I’ll knit while waiting, and the only thing I’ve ever been asked is an interested “oooh, what are you making”?😂 Enjoy your summer and your next holiday! I’d love to see you soon again and do not worry yourself at all about editing!!

Regarding frequency, I would love to see your videos more often, but I think it's most important that you feel comfortable, so I wouldn't mind a mixture of shorter/longer, more/less frequent episodes, as long as it works best for you.

ciao Francesca! lovely podcast as usual! I love the tees, I was just looking at Florence's tee, except that I need a more open neckline for my body tipe other wise I would give it a go, i love better in V necks, or scoop or square, open necklines. You should be sponsored not only by Sandnes but also by knittingforolive! at some point I am going to try both and it's because of you, still on a no buy yarn though...I am definitely going to make myself a cumulus tee, not sure when, until I finish my current projects it will be time for autumn winter stuff...take care and do whatever rhythm suits you best with the videos! 💚

We share some “likes”. Last week I biyght 2 patterns: the Tolsta Tee and the Tombo Tee. My favourite top is my Cumulus Tee and I’m going to start a second one soon. Crochet is great too but beware: I recently fell into the Amigurumi rabbit hole. It’s totally addictive, but it would make your daughter very happy.

I feel you so much with the editing dilemma, I have the same ! But I've been watching more carefully what other podcasters do, and most of them don't bother editing and I don't hear the "errrm" and "uuuh" as long as I'm not paying attention, so really I think most people don't care 👌🏻 your time is definitely better spent knitting (or anything else) than editing ahah. Love your tombo tee btw ! I really need to cast one on soon !
