Hello, and welcome to today's video. Although it's supposed to be a round-up of June, this video covers the knitting I have done over the past several months. It includes my finished No Frills Sweater by Petite Knit and a test knit of the Winnie Sweater for ‪@woozybyceline‬

Hi❤ what great projects! I never frog the Italian bandoff. I just cut it off. otherwise I will need a psychotherapist 😌😑 From summer products, I can recommend camisole number five - I adore it and am already knitting a second one.

@OrsaMakes 19 күн бұрын

Oh my goodness - I felt like I needed a long rest after unpicking it. An absolute nightmare! Camisole No. 5 is so cute. I made one last year but am considering doing another in a darker colour. Have a great weekend :)

Thank you so much! She is such a talented designer - I can't believe this is her first sweater.

Hi , ish, I think you would like the Joan shirt by Olga Grishina, and a few other of her designs! 😊

@OrsaMakes 13 күн бұрын

Thanks for the suggestion - I hadn’t heard of her and her designs are so cute! 🥰

Watching this while making my LKF tonight top. I also played around with the sizing. I am in between sizes so I sized my needles down to a 3mm and knitted the larger size. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

@OrsaMakes 19 күн бұрын

It's such a great design, but tricky to work out for those of us between size. I just tried mine on this morning and I'm happy with the fit so far. Fingers crossed it works out for us both!

Thank you for another lovely and chic video! I have fallen in love with the Winnie sweater and can’t wait for the release! Thank you for introducing me to it 😊 I can relate to what you were saying about the fit of a traditional hand-knit as opposed to the sleek and elegant look which one can find in ready-to-wear. I sometimes struggle to find a hand-knit which will satisfy both my love of knitting, and my love of neutral, oversized jumpers which pair well with a beautiful pair of wide-legged trousers for instance. I find My Favourite Things Knitwear probably is the closest to my heart in that respect; I knit her Sweater n.8 twice last winter and for me, it definitely has that chic and understated vibe. Looking forward to seeing you in video again soon! Enjoy the Italian summer, over here in Paris, it still hasn’t arrived 😢

Hi! So glad you enjoyed the video. The Winnie Sweater is beautiful - and out now. The designer has added some really thoughtful details that make it interesting. The outfit you described sounds absolutely perfect, and I will be looking for classic oversized sweaters that can give me a more "ready to wear" fit. I agree about My Favourite Things - she is an icon for a reason. Wishing you a wonderful summer in Paris (I'm so jealous)!

Thank you for this great video❣️I find your thoughts on the fit of typical constructions very interesting 😊 I am currently writing up a pattern for a short sleeved romantic cardigan and this gives me more hope that there might be knitters out there who would like take on the challenge of seaming in sleeves ❤

@OrsaMakes 16 күн бұрын

I am so curious about trying seaming in sleeves - I was nervous about it at the beginning but not really want to try different constructions. I hope your new pattern goes well! Good luck :)

Just had to comment on two things! Firstly, I’m currently knitting a very simple raglan sweater with the exact colour of Drops Air that you’ve knit your Winnie Sweater in and having slight project envy😅. Secondly, I’ve just finished knitting a child size version of the Lulu slipover and even that size tested me on all the finishing - especially the double knit bands! However, having washed and blocked it I have to admit that those finishing details are lovely and worth the extra time. During the process of knitting though, I did keep moaning about how long this was taking me and how I hadn’t realised that before starting. So, I’m sure yours will look beautiful in the end but I completely relate to how you’re feeling about the process!

@OrsaMakes 19 күн бұрын

Oh my goodness - great minds think alike! I feel that the Lulu will be worth the hassle (even if I moan about it along the way). The Winnie Sweater is really beautiful and I highly recommend it if you get your hands on some more Drops Air in the future - it was so quick too!

I def get what you mean about handknit fit. I am very peaky about fit and it takes me time to find the right patterns. I think the english tailoring constraction and knitting flat to then sew the pieces can make the garments look better fitting. Loved your video, and Lulu slipover is def on my list! Just havent decided on what to wear it with and the yarn.

@OrsaMakes 19 күн бұрын

Yes, I was wondering about different constructions. I may have to look into patterns that are knitted flat (although I dread all the purling and seaming). The Lulu is a great design with a really interesting shape. I feel like it definitely doesn't look 'homemade'. Good luck if you decide to cast it on!

I enjoyed your Video again very much and I love to hear your British accent... I recently finish ed the Agave Sweater by Yumiko Alexander. I knitted it with Drops Bomull Lin in dark Blue. It was fun and a quick knit also. I will also try one of the bags you recommended in the speacial bag video. Best wishes from Cologne! 🎉

@OrsaMakes 19 күн бұрын

Thank you so much for watching. The Agave Sweater looks so cute! I haven't tried the Bomull Lin, but it is definitely on my list. Happy knitting!

Thanks for the video and absolutely agree on fit. I’m still learning through trial & error on that one. Any tips for sizing up to get a boxier fit but so the shoulder etc aren’t falling off you, sleeves too wide etc.

@OrsaMakes 16 күн бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm still learning with fit too and always customising in search of that perfect fit. I find that one thing I kind of stick by is trying to go for at least 15cm of bust ease for that boxy fit that doesn't cling on my hips. This works well for me but everyone is different. It can be a challenge when your bust and hips measurements don't align with set sizes but I'm trying to see it as part of becoming a better knitter :)

Hey there :) I tried to make the Lanta bag and had to take a break on it for a while. I was messing up the YOs as well and the yarn I chose was not ideal. Let us know if you figure out the trick with the YOs :) Best of luck! 🧶 For summer knits I recommendation the Margaux Top by Gregoria Fibers (which I am working on now) :)

@OrsaMakes 19 күн бұрын

Thank you for the recommendation! I don't know what it is about yarn overs - they just confuse my brain. I will let you know if I finally get the hang of it!
