Oh my, what a beautiful collection. Thank you for giving your thoughts on how each yarn worked (or didn't) for you, and for taking the time to model and photograph each one. I can see me returning to this video when I am in need of inspiration.

Kate, I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, made Dec 21, 2022 - but I really enjoyed your review of your favourite sweaters and the yarn you used. I learned a lot ie thinking of the durability of the yarn, and whether it’s a sweater yarn or best suited to something else, in other words - soft isn’t always the only thing to think about. You’re an amazing knitter, you’ve tried so many different styles. And I love the idea of press studs rather than buttons/button holes. I loathe those! But like cardigans. Looking forward to continuing to follow you next year.

I absolutely love Rowan Felted Tweed yarn! I wish it was a little more affordable though.... but every now and then, I think “I am worth it!” It does pay to buy quality materials for one’s craft. The knitting pleasure is greater, and the resulting garment definitely worth the expense and effort!

A beautiful collection of jumpers and cardigans Kate...a couple of them have gone in my queue!! until next time

@storyandstone 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for showing us your collection Kate. Whilst I prefer not to use superwash wool, I have a few jumpers in it and if you maintain them right they don’t give you too much trouble. I wash mine in the machine on a cold wool cycle in a laundry bag using a wool wash. By keeping them in the bags they don’t stretch at all I have found. I do an extra spin cycle at the end to get rid of excess water (all still in the laundry bag) and then I lay flat to dry without blocking or stretching out. After all that is why superwash was created...to give you a yarn that can be machine washed. But saying that, I only wash my hand knits once a year. After each wear they get aired and every month or so, depending on wear, I steam clean them on the ironing board and then dry flat. 🙂

@HawthornCottageCraft 3 жыл бұрын

That’s what was so annoying about it stretching, knowing that superwash is meant to able to be washed! I always hand wash my sweaters which I thought would help. That’s a great tip about using the laundry bag....I’ll definitely have to remember that one. Thank you❤️

@storyandstone 3 жыл бұрын

@@HawthornCottageCraft I agree it is very annoying when they do stretch, especially because you’ve spent so much time creating the piece. 😊

how many thumbs up can I give you? Love the honest critique of yarns. I have had a few tears over the years where after countless hours of knitting sweater ends up like junk!

Thank you Kate, I just found your site! I really appreciated all the effort of giving us more background on where you got your yarn, pattern and shared the history about them. I knitted one sweater 39 3/4 yrs ago. When my daughter was about 3 months old, as I wore it it got smaller in the waist and wider on the sides... Pretty sad situation. Looking at these lovely sweaters is very inspiring. I mostly crochet, now I am looking to find out if/how to knit again. So thank you again! Your work/sweaters is/are lovely... Joanne USA Th

very nice collection, I've only made hats and mittens and cowls over the years, some day maybe I will graduate to making a vest with a rounded neck instead of the V neck... I've had to move a lot so that has taken a toll on my hobby-items storage and space etc. Hats have been functional perfect projects though I wish I would really make a warm vest!!

This was lovely Kate I agree about superwash merino but I’ve had better luck with it in singles fingering weight for some reason. I’ve come to like woolly yarn this year and my absolute favourite is Studio Donegal. This year is the first year that I haven’t bought a commercial sweater (though I was gifted a lovely cashmere one at Christmas) exploring patterns and yarns that are right for me is so much fun and I can knit them to suit my taste . I’m starting to think of spring summer knits and especially linen blend yarns
