Sun Dragon tips and tricks has a step by step videos for knitting the ranunculus. You still need to buy the pattern,but they are amazing videos
I agree, Sun Dragon tips for the Ranunculus are very informative. A link to the Sun Dragon Ranunculus Assistance KZhead playlist is in my Show Notes in the description below. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊❤️
Sun Dragon gives wonderful tips!
Love your knit project color choices. Thank you.
I love seeing your work. I’m working on my first sweater now and I really really want to make the ranunculus next!
Liked your content. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
Lovely podcast. Thank you so much!
Those hydrangeas though! Love your podcast/videos!
I haven’t knitted lace style in years and will try the Ranunculus soon. It’s so pretty! Thank you ❤
Just found your channel & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Such good information! Thank you. ❤
Thank you for demystifying the Ranunculous!
Lovely knits, great advice, love the bloopers! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! I loved listening to you, your enthusiasm is infectious! ❤
Great podcast, thank you - Ilha is on my list now :)
Bobby. Love your podcasts. You always look so elegant in your pastel knits!Because of your praise of how fast Ranunculus knits I did it- I purchased the pattern (which I never do - I make my own patterns), I cast on and indeed it took maybe 4 evenings. Thank you! I’m intrigued now about “Ilha”! 😉
Very informative video. Thanks!
Thanks for another fun podcast. Mom and I watched it together today.
Just found your podcast. The discount code is timely since I have been looking at the Florencia. Also, love your tees. I have the Ranunculus pattern but have yet to cast on…maybe because something else catches my eyes…there are so many beautiful patterns out there…Thanks for a great podcast. BTW thanks for the large font size in your show notes…helpful for aging eyes😊 Take care❤
I justed watched this for the first time. Your sweaters are all beautiful. And I love the Misurina on your needles! I am only making my first ever sweater. I really enjoyed your podcast!
Love your podcast. I want to knit the ranunculus and will because of your encouraging. Thank you and I love your podcast.
Thank you Bobbi for a terrific vlog. Your sweaters are lovely.
Really enjoy watching. Great choice of tops to have a go. Florence. Sounds perfect. How am I going to get all these done before summer ends. Xx
A hello from France from where I am looking at you. I am passionate about knitting and I have just entered the world of knitting in English, which greatly increases the possibilities. I really enjoyed this episode so I just subscribed. A big thank you for what you share with us because we see all your love for yarns, models and it's super nice.
Oh, love the sweaters! I will definitely have to consider knitting these, maybe start late winter. I have so many plans for knitting other projects first. Hmm...decisions, decisions.
Hi 👋 First time viewer, from Portland, Oregon. I haven’t chosen the Ranunculus because the neck seems stretched out on so many. I love the Ilha sweater and I’m familiar with Orlane because I knit her Bonnie cardigan at Christmas. I love your hydrangea bloom/Alpine Bloom connection, looks like a beautiful combination of yarn and pattern. There are so many beautiful garments to knit, aren’t we lucky! Thanks for the coupon code.
Really enjoyed this episode and might try the Florencia sweater. Thanks for the code. Also, I was inspired by the beautiful hydrangeas you showed to look up how to dry them. I have some gorgeous ones out front and will try it today!
Hello from Canada! I just found you and I really like your podcast. You have beautiful pieces, congratulations! I started working on garments this year but never got to finish one yet😬 I will look at the Florence, it might break the spell. I have been knitting a lot of socks!
Wow, I just found your channel! I love all of the information! You have great energy and positivity. Running to Ravelry to look at all of you beautiful work. Thank you for sharing ❤
Greetings from Wyoming. I'm a newbie to your channel and find it delightful. Yours is the first Ranunculus that I've liked, mostly because of the fit. I knitted one and never wear it. Thanks to you, I've purchased the Ilha sweater pattern and will look for the specified yarn. Thanks for our delightful and very informative videos. I will go back and watch them all. I also appreciate the details you provide in the show notes.
I can’t stop thinking about the Ranunculus and with short row front, Casting on in morning ! I have my winter wool I’d, I need a late summer fall one.
Tu m’as complètement convaincu d’utiliser ma précieuse laine pour me faire un Ilha! Et j’adore tout ce que j’ai fait présentement! Merci pour tes conseils. Mon prochain projet sera tout de même un Ranunculus afin de ne pas être la seule sur Ravelry à ne pas en avoir tricoté un! 😊 2 magnifiques projets qui valent le temps accordé au tricot. Bonne continuité!
I love the bloopers at the end! Just cracks me up ❤ Working on the Ilha yoke and it’s so engaging and beautiful. I was going to knit the ranunculus for the first time then saw your last podcast and changed my mind. I’ll knit it when I’m finished the Ilha and see what I think 😊 Thanks again for the wonderful podcast!
Just found your podcast. Beautiful sweaters. I just finished the ILHA. I love it. I also love Sandes Garn Line. I will give a plug to Wool and Company in IL. They have a large line of Sandes Garn including Line - free fast shipping. I am in Maryland and get my orders in about 3 days. I have been knitting sweaters for 40+ years but am currently working on the Novice Cardigan by Petite Knit. This is suitable for a beginner. Her patterns are so well-written and wearable.
I ❤ your podcast > it’s very informative,inspiring, tons of knowledge and a very nice way you are presenting everything…. Thanks from the Canary Islands Tenerife
Thank you for such an engaging and informative episode. I really enjoyed viewing 😊😊😊 Looking forward to the next. ❤
I've been going thru some of your videos for a couple of reasons. First, you are from Alabama, where one of my wonderful daughters-in-law is from, so that's great! And you liked the ranunculus! I've enjoyed every episodes I've seen so far. I'll definitely be investigating some of your recommendations. Thank you so much for making such great content.
Hi Bobbi, you are delight to watch, even the silly outtakes 😜 I am knitting the roscoff for my granddaughter. She lives in Hawaii and I don't have much of an opportunity to give her knitware. I am using yama linen merino. The pattern is written rather than chartered which is unfortunate. If you make a mistake it is hard to read the knitting, whereas if also chartered you could see where you stitches should align. I plan to make a winter ILHA, thanks for the inspiration.
Hello from middle Georgia. I just found your podcast. I am casting on my second Ranunculus. I will have to find the Ilha and give it a go next. I love the details at the bottom of the sweater and the sleeves. If you're ever in the area, we have a great local yarn shop called Our Yarn Studio. It's a fun place to sit and knit for a while and visit with other people who speak yarn.
Awesome podcast. Need to knit the Ilha sweater!
I knew I would like knitting the Ilha sweater but I didn’t know I would love knitting it and really love wearing it! The combination of the beautiful pattern and wonderful Sandnes Garn Line was perfect. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting! 😊❤️
I love your videos Bobby! I’m watching from the UK 🇬🇧 You have such an easy going manner & a very friendly vibe, I feel like I know you personally 💕 I’m currently knitting the Ranunculus & really enjoying it & the speed it knits up although I’m on the plain body part now so it’s mindless TV knitting. I will definitely add the Ilha to my never ending queue of projects too 😂
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! It’s so nice to connect with fellow knitters around the world! I love hearing what everyone is knitting. I know, the Ranunculus is so much fun to knit and super fast compared to other sweaters. I know you’re going to love knitting the Ilha sweater too. Thank you so much for watching! Have a wonderful day!! 😊❤️
I love your pod cast! You are inspiring me to pick up my needles! I want to try the ranunculus sweater some day. I did buy that pattern. I am going to buy the Florencio first since it’s been awhile since I have knit anything. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much! I’m knitting the Florencia right now! It’s knit with fingering weight yarn, so it’s not a quick knit like the Ranunculus. Good luck! Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊❤️
Hi Bobbie Thanks for sharing all your projects, tips, and experience. I was looking on Ravelry at the ILHA, I wanted to see your project notes on the sleeves. I couldn't find yours. I looked at Projects with Notes; 18 pages.
You’re so lovely. I love your podcast. ❤
Thank you so much! 😊❤
Lovely podcast and beautiful sweaters. My very first sweater as a beginner was the Whitmoor Sweater by Amy Lowden (Little Tailoress). English is not my mothertongue, but it was easy to follow. And my tip: use a lot of lifelines in your work, as a beginner. 😊
Thanks so much I really like the Florencia and I love cotton tee’s so I purchased it. I can’t believe you hadn’t heard of Sari before, I test knit the Foxberry tee in a cotton blend and have knit the Kuutar tee also in cotton blend and I love both. Currently working on 100 different things but I finished a lace pair of socks by Kelly of the Row Row and Kades KZhead channel as well as my Westknit mystery socks 😊
I just found you. I love your video and subscribed.
Thank you Joan! ❤️
Hi Bobbi, thank you so much for the code for the Florencia pattern. I got it. I plan on doing the long sleeve version eventually. I have too many WIPS I need to finish first. All your sweaters are so pretty. I loved this video. The outtakes were hilarious 😆 Thanks for putting them in. 🧶
Hi Karen! You’re welcome! The Florencia Tee caught my eye a few weeks ago. It sounds like an easy, beautiful knit. I can’t wait to cast it on. Thank you for the lovely comment and for watching! 😊❤️
Hi Bobbi- I always learn something from your videos! One time it was a new method of casting off ( which I now use all the time) and this time it was ‘look to nature’ when putting colours together. So simple but so brilliant! Nature is a wonderful example of colours that are perfect together! Thanks so much!
Hi Beverly! Thank you so much for the lovely comment. It just dawned on me one day that nature’s color combinations are pure perfection. So, next time I’m questioning my color choices, I’ll just go outside for an answer. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment! 😊❤️
Bonjour de la France, je ne comprends pas un mot d'anglais mais j'ai quand même apprécié de regarder votre présentation du ranunculus dans les divers versions que vous avez présenté dans cet épisode. Merci ❤
Lovely morning knitting …. listening to your Podcast. Bobbi …. Your arms are beautiful in short sleeves and tank tops! What is your routine !? 💪☺️👏
Watching from New Zealand but I am Canadian. Love watching you. Not only your videos are super informative but you're hilarious. Thanks for bringing sunshine in our life😊
Thank you so much! You have brought sunshine to my day. 🥰 I appreciate your viewership! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Have great weekend! 😊❤️
Thank you for a terrific episode Bobbi. I loved your discussion on Ranunculus and Ilha. And about the yarn experience for both. The Andalusia top is fabulous, love the stitch pattern. Terrific show notes too. Waving hello from 🇨🇦. I appreciate you
Hello Jacque! Thank you so much for the lovely comment. It’s so nice to be able to connect with knitters from all over the world. Especially our neighbors up north. Canada is a beautiful country and everyone is so friendly. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment! Have a wonderful day. 😊❤️
OH my gosh! Your hydrangeas are beautiful. That is my favorite flower!!! I have just bought both the Ranunculus and the Ilha. Thanks for a great podcast. Can't wait to watch all of your other videos. 🙂
Thank you Beth! I love hydrangeas too! The Ranunculus and the Ilha sweater patterns are my all time favorites to knit!! Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊❤️
I just found your channel! I'm very excited to find someone who is also in northeast Alabama! I'm relatively close to Huntsville, moved here a little more than 3 years ago. I'll have to try these summer tops, they're gorgeous and I have a ton of plant based fibers that I need to use up. Thank you! ❤
Hi Julia! Hey neighbor! It will be 6 years ago this December that we moved to Alabama. Everyone is so kind here. I know, there are so many beautiful summer tee and tank top patterns out right now! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Have a wonderful day!😊❤️
@@knitterskniche I had a feeling you weren't a native... the lack of Alabama accent gave it away lol! We moved here a month before the quarantine shutdowns began so its like we're still brand new to the area. However, I did discover a great yarn shop in Northern Huntsville called Fiber Artwork, the owner, Nina, is very nice and they have a great selection of yarn. You might already know about it since you've been here longer, but I figured I'd pass it along just in case. I'm going to check out the Sandes Garn Line cotton you mentioned next time I head up to Nashville. I haven't found many cotton yarns that I like and am always searching. Anyhow, I hope you stay safe with all this crazy weather we're having. 😊
merci beaucoup pour les explications comparatives entre ranunculus et Ilha ! thank you very much for the comparative explanations between ranunculus and Ilha! 😍😍💖💖
I just got the pattern at 50% off!!! Thank you!! I am knitting my grand daughter a pink Ranunculus. My 4th one. ( well a winter one is on my needles….past the lace top, will finish in the fall) My grand daughter’s is in cotton and cashmere. I think she will love it. Please knit the difficult area’s of the FLORENCIA on your KZhead podcast. I have only been knitting sweaters since January..😊
Hi Annette! My yarn for the Florencia should be here this Thursday. I will cast it on as soon as it arrives. I will go over any difficult stitches in the pattern. I’m looking forward to casting it on! I want to knit a Dk weight Ranunculus to wear this fall and winter! The one for your granddaughter sounds beautiful! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😊❤️
Hi Bobbie, I’m not sure if you are aware, but I thought I would mention it just in case you haven’t heard of this. A few knitting podcasters share that instead of using Spincycle they use Zauberball yarn which has long color changes and different spun yarn twisted together like Spincycle. Now I’m not sure about what weight(s) they have, but I’m going to look into that also, down the road here shortly. I’m going to have to knit the Ilha first. I like the look of it better and the additional touch at the hemline to tie things together.
Im new to your Channel ( have my own : Forever Knitting by Annie) in danish . Do you know the Slanting slip on top by Anne Ventzel ? I am about to knit my number 5😮i love your summer knits😊
Hi,first time I've watched you and I really enjoyed it. I'm thinking of knitting a rambunctious but have so many wips to finish first if I can be that disciplined. . . Looking forward to your next episode.
Rambunctious! 😂😂😂. Is that Ranunculus with some extras?! ❤
Yes! I love it! I will now and forever call it the Rambunctious Ranunculus! You made my day!! 😂 Thank you for watching and for the lovely comment!! 😊❤️
Bobby, I looooove your style!!! You're such a great person to be with. I send you all my love from Lisbon 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much!! ❤❤
Just made a Ranunculus in BC Garn Soft Silk. I liked it and like the FO, but I'm not sure I fully understand the hype!
For thrnIlha pattern does it show how to make short sleeves or can you tell me if you would purchase less yarn?
Hi Bobbi, another fabulous podcast. I love all of your sweaters and I can’t believe you knitted the ranunculus in 2 days. It usually takes me at least a month to knit a sweater. The Ranunculus is next on my list. I have been watching so many people making them I hope to knit my first one this fall. I love your reviews. It was very helpful. I also have that same Japanese cables book( again we are kindred spirits)but didn’t know what I could make with it. It’s nice to know somebody has designed a couple sweaters with the charts. Thanks so much for another great episode dear 😘💖
Hi Taci! How are you? I know, the Ranunculus is so fast, easy and engaging. I needed a hand knit sweater to wear for my podcast so I knew I could have the Ranunculus finished in time. I love reading your comments. Thank you so much for watching! Talk to you again soon!❤️❤️❤️
I like what you’re wearing. Do you crochet too or just knit?
Hello! Yes, I do crochet. I crocheted before I started knitting. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊❤️
Tried and true - really time for a new wig.
Hello! Do you mean wips (works in progress) instead of wigs? Thank you for watching! 😊
@@knitterskniche HA HA but NO!!!!!! You know exactly what I said. and No typos in my message. IT’s the WIG. As is fake hair!
You need to add the link for the Florine top. 🎉
Thank you! I added it to my show notes. ravel.me/florencia 😊❤️
I am watching this as I knit Magna Flora. I am knitting with Rowan Cotton Cashmere on size 9 needles. I like this as well as Ranunculus and I will be knitting Ilha soon. Gimme all the lace yoke sweaters!
Yes Sara! Gimme all the lace sweaters! I love it! Now I’m curious, I will definitely check out the Magna Flora sweater. And on size 9 needles it sounds like a lovely quick knit. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting! 😊❤️
I want my ranunculus to fit like yours! How much ease did you allow after the yoke?
I wasn't sure if my brain fog could concentrate for 40 min but your style is so easy. Now I'm looking for other episodes of yours 😊 I would like to knit the Ranunculus and can use cotton, which is great. I am allergic to wool, so for other jumpers, what natural yarn would you recommend for winter, especially something that's not too hot like alpaca?
Hello! I know, the last 3 episodes I recorded ended up being a little longer than I intended. Lol. The Sandnes Garn Line is a worsted weight yarn in a cotton blend. No wool! It’s absolutely the best cotton blend yarn I have ever knit with and it’s reasonably priced. Since the Sandnes Gar Line is a worsted I would definitely recommend it for winter! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😊❤️ Here is a link for the Sandnes Garn Line Yarn. www.woolandcompany.com/yarn/medium-worsted/sandnes-garn-line/
@@knitterskniche Thanks, I'll see if it's available in Australia.
Do any of them have a similar gauge to ranunculus? I want to try a new yoke pattern with same fit as the rest of the ranunculus. Would love to hear your recommendation for that. Or even just a different lace or texture pattern for just the diamond lace on the ranunculus would help mix it up for me. This is my 3rd one so wanting something a little different, but I already have the body knit & just want to re-do the yoke & graft together
oh Bobbi! your pullovers are so beautiful and classy! I tried the Ilha (btw it's pronounced ee-lah, Portuguese for island) but I found it difficult, even though I'm an experienced knitter. Kisses!
Hello! Thank you, I thought I wasn’t pronouncing Ilha correctly. Lol! 😵💫 Yes, the Ilha sweater is a bit challenging. I always enjoy reading your comments and thank you so much for watching. Have a wonderful day! Take care. ❤️❤️❤️
I am a brand new subscriber and enjoyed your insight on patterns and yarns. I just printed the Ranunculus pattern and wanted to make it in cotton as I am allergic to wool. I have 3 skeins of Jody Long My Little Sunshine yarn and looking forward to starting the sweater this afternoon!! ❤
Hi Mary! You are going to love knitting the Ranunculus. It really is a quick and engaging knit. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting! Have a wonderful day! 😊❤️
@@knitterskniche I am Really looking forward to your podcasts. ❤️
@@knittersknichehere I am 8 months later. I have made 4 Ilha as I love that pattern. I have gifted 3 of them and have yarn for another one. At the moment I am finally making the ranunculus. Love it and see many more in my future. It is so much fun to knit. Thank you Bobbi. I have enjoyed all your videos ❤ (I am also very sensitive to wool) 😊
Just fyi - i knitted the florencia and in my size the pattern has uneven spacing on either side of the raglan. It was annoying because its bottom up and I couldn’t see that until the very end.
I just saw your podcast for the first time a few weeks ago. I’m from New Jersey but was down in Nashville for a wedding and went to Haus of Yarn and bought my yarn for the Ilha. I’ve finished the yoke, but don’t understand the sleeve part. Do I cut the yarn, slip the 40 stitches, put in the markers and then continue in the round knitting the stitches that I had put on the right hand needle?
Hello. I’m looking at the Ilha pattern. Could you tell me what part of the pattern you are referring to? Are you ready to start the raglan shaping? 😊
Yes, I’m starting the raglan shaping and it says break the yarn and put 40 stitches on your right hand needle and continue putting your markers for the sleeves. I understand that. However when you get back to the 40 stitches that you slipped onto the right needle, do you just pick them up and knit normally? I couldn’t understand why you cut the yarn and moved those 40;stitches.
Ok. I think you are knitting the smallest size. Yes, you need to cut the yarn, because you are changing where the beginning of round is. This will put the beginning of round at the middle of the armpit. Slip the first 40 stitches from the left needle to the right needle. Place the beginning of round marker on right needle. Add new yarn by knitting the next 37 stitches, place another marker. The rest of the markers need to be a different color than the beginning of round marker. Follow the rest of the directions for that round. 😊
Have you tried Ruby & Rose yarns? I watched her podcast of her inventory & dyeing yarn. It is beautiful & fastening. She does beautiful & amazing colors. Think you might enjoy.
Hi Donna! Yes, I have heard of Ruby and Roses Yarn. I purchased the Sinatra colorway mini skein set in the soft rose base. It’s beautiful. I added it to my Cozy Comfort Throw by Homespun House. I will have to purchase more of her yarn. Thank you so much for commenting and for watching! Have a wonderful day! 😊❤️
What size did you the ranunculus you are wearing ? X
Hello! I knit size 3 on US size 9 needles instead of US 10 which is the size of needles suggested in the pattern. Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊❤️
What is your knitting needle style? Flickering, continental, or American (forgot last name). I am trying to learn flickering.
Hello Donna! I’m a continental knitter! Thank you for watching and for commenting! 😊❤️
You look fabulous in all your knits. Please may I ask what size ranunculus did to make please? Also your ilha sweater, how much of the sandnes garn line did you use and again what size did you make. I love your podcasts thank you x
How do I find you on ravelry please so I can see your pattern notes ?
Hello! Here is the information for my Ranunculus ravel.me/Bobbiknitsit/r1 Information for my Ilha ravel.me/Bobbiknitsit/i1 Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment! You are so kind! 😊❤️
Click or touch the information typed in blue and it will take you to Ravelry. 😊❤️
Thanks for the recommendation for the sweater Ilha sweater. What yarn did you use? Heard it but not posted on your link. Thanks, Judy
Hi Judy! Here is my Ravelry link with the Sandnes Garn Line Yarn in color 3011. ravel.me/Bobbiknitsit/i1 Thank you so much for watching and for commenting! Have a wonderful day! 😊❤️
Hi. I just found your channel and was interested in the Florencia tee you talked about. I tried to buy it with your code but it says it’s expired. 😢
Sorry! Eweknit ended the discount code on September 30, 2023. If you follow @eweknitto on Instagram, they do have discounts on patterns frequently! Have a great day! 😊❤️
I'm so glad i found your podcast! I love that your hydrangeas inspired your color selection! Your sweaters are beautiful and I look forward to more excellent knitting!
Where do I go to see the knit along for the sweater I've already downloaded my half-price pattern
Hello! Here is the link. It is on the same page on Ravelry where you buy the pattern. Thank you for watching and for the comment! www.ravelry.com/discuss/eweknit-toronto/4265048/1-25 😊❤️
Hi Bobby! I just found you via your eweknit post and just realised we were on the same test knit! Yours looks even more lovely on video :) Enjoying the theme of what's new but similar 😀 I knit the ranunculus as an absolute beginner and I've been looking for something similar but a little more engaging. The ILHA looks great thank you im going to try it!
If you made another one with that yarn you could over dye it.
I bought the pattern but I don’t understand it 😢 I’m not a experienced knitter just learning: so overwhelming learning abbreviations and having to go back to the beginning it’s so stressful 🥹 those sweaters are so beautiful I want to make them but I have a long way to go before I get to that stage x x
Hello! I will be casting on my Florencia Tee this Thursday. My yarn should be arriving then. I understand. It can be overwhelming when you’re new to knitting. Feel free to message me on Instagram with any questions regarding knitting. You can do it! You just need a little help just like I did when I was a new knitter. Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
Also, having knit it I wouldn’t recommend the florencia for a first sweater…
You have put Sandes Garn Line as the yarn for Ilha. Line is worsted wt. Tynn Line is fingering wt (which is what pattern calls for). Did you really use worsted wt?
Yes, I used the worsted weight Sandnes Garn Line. This yarn was used by 5 other knitters in the projects shown in Ravelry. I researched the yarns used before I chose to knit with the Line worsted weight. I knit a size smaller and it worked out perfectly! Thank you for commenting and watching! 😊❤️
Short rows in the renauculus in the front?
Yes. The front and back. I know, it’s usually just the back. The neckline is large, almost a boatneck. By having short rows in the front it raises the neckline up so it fits better. Some people have eliminated the short rows in the front. Thank you for watching. Have a great day! Here is the link in Ravelry ravel.me/ranunculus-3
Your work is beautiful. That is a great idea to tidy up the neck. TY Great day to you also! :)
Does the Rannululus have German short rows or wrap and turns? I like German short rows.
Hello! The Ranunculus pattern does use german short rows. I also prefer the german short row over the standard wrap and turn. Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
@knitterskniche thank you. I like the IIha better. Does it use German short rows as well? Love your podcast and all your lovely hand knits. They are so pretty. Love the colours you chose.
@@Seamlessknitter yes, the Ilha uses german short rows. Thank you so much for the compliment. You are so kind! 😊❤️
@@knitterskniche thank you. Are you going to Rhinebeck this year
Hello! No, unfortunately I won’t be going. It’s on my wishlist to attend the Sheep and Wool festival in Rhinebeck someday. Have you ever gone to the festival? Are you going this year? Have a great weekend! 😊❤️
Maybe I'm missing something, but the Florencia is on Ravelry, but there no purchase option yet. Is it not live yet?
Sorry that happened Rhonda. Yes, it is available to purchase on Ravelry as long as you’re logged in. Ravelry wants you to login before you can purchase any patterns. Thank you for watching and thank you for your question. 😊❤️
@@knitterskniche oh goodness... sorry about that. I found it. Have a great day!!
What size and needle size did you use
Hello! I used US size 9 needles for the body of the Ranunculus and US size 8 for the ribbing. Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
Oh dear🥺 tried to purchase Florencia pattern with your discount but code is expired- such a disappointment
Sorry! EweKnit ended the discount code for the Florencia pattern on September 31, 2023. Follow @eweknitto on Instagram, they do discounts on their patterns frequently. Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
Today is Sept 27th, 2023 so shouldn't it still be active?@@knitterskniche
"Ilha" is pronounced "eel-ya" and means "island" in Portuguese.
Thank you ! 😊❤️
I bought the Sandnes Garn Line for the pattern and it splits constantly. I am disappointed with the yarn.
Update: I added one strand of Drops Silk Mohair to the 'Line' yarn and I did not experience any splitting. Stitch definition also improved and I will use the yarn for another project. Hoping everyone has a blessed day 🏵😊🏵
It is frustrating to watch your video without show notes. I suggest you wait to upload your video until you have your show notes done. 😢 Also, you may want to watch where you put writing on the screen. If you put it too low it will not be visible if the person watching your video is using their phone for viewing. I hope you don’t take my comments as criticism. I like your videos and only want to suggest things that may improve them so you will get more viewers (and keep the ones you already have).
Thank you Deborah! The show notes are now complete and are in the description. I appreciate your comments. I agree it is very frustrating when you go to the description and the show notes aren’t finished. Thank you for watching and for your comment. Have a great day. 😊❤️
I have got to stop watching your show. I see way too many great patterns I want to make.
They look the same
Yes, I agree, they do look similar. Thank you for watching and commenting! Have a wonderful day! 😊
