A somewhat chaotic vlog of our recent knitty girls' weekend in Belgium 🇧🇪 Kind of looks like we spent half the trip being insufferable Instagram obsessives taking videos, but that's because our phones were in our bags for the rest of the time.

After an ahem... prolonged break from UA-cam I am back with a new vloggy style knitting podcast! I'm lucky to cat-sit for friends with a very lovely house and I treated my two-week stay there as a designing & knitting bootcamp of sorts. I knit a lot of stitches and filmed lots of knitting / designing thoughts along the way. Felt good to get my head in the zone! Hope you like this style of video...

Knitting tutorial: i-cord cast on by picking up
Переглядів 2,5 тис.2 роки тому
How to pick up stitches along an i-cord to use it as the cast on edge. This method differs to others where you create the i-cord and place stitches on the needle in one stage - this creates a firmer edge with no loose gaps and a clean edge between colours. I used this i-cord cast on method in my recent Upwards Top pattern. Where to find me ◼ Instagram: lilykatemakes ◼ Newsletter:...

Thank you thank you! Thanks for putting this in a way that finally clicked for me.
it’s gorgeous! do you have a tutorial?
I love Lily's eye for detail (for instance what she says about placement of the stripes). She really thinks about everything. I am now knitting the calm night cami, my first Lily Kate pattern. I love knitting it and I love the way it's turning out.
Beautiful 👚😻
Absolutely love your color, Work design! I do love how informative you are and also how you discussed your problem-solving and thinking through Knitting . Far too many Knitting podcasts just kind of gloss over all the rough stuff and so I really appreciate that you take the time to, explain your challenges
Love your new patterns. Cardigan is on my list.
Loving the details on the cardigan, giving it your signature look. I can't wait to knit this and my brain is excited to choose the perfect fall color for this.
Your new cardigan design is very beautiful. I personally like the colour very much.
Perfect 🤩 😊 thank you so much. Very helpful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The close to me cardigan is just lovely🌸
thank you! I'm really happy with how it turned out!
I find this information about construction and fit really useful. Such thoughtful aspects design is not so easily seen in photos on Ravelry, etc. I love that cardigan colour too.
Glad it was helpful! Sometimes it's difficult to convey how one 'simple' cardigan is different to another, especially when all you see on Ravelry is photos and a brief description. The maths isn't exactly going to catch anyone's attention!
@@lilykatemakes8358 Well I love maths (geek alert) but I’m not a knitwear designer, so I’m very happy to pay for a pattern that’s had all the thought put into it already. Do let us know the colours you used for the yarns when you publish, as, unusually, I think I’ll be copying exactly! 😊
Lovely designs in the making! And that sock shaping is absolutely brilliant, Lily! <3
thank you ever so much!
Loved your discussion on design. Helps me think about patterns and their construction more, instead of blindly knitting. 🥰🤣🙏
😂 helpful to know where things come from!
I find polka dots so incredibly charming ! Your attention to detail and fit is divine. This will be my first color work knit. Perhaps you could do a podcast explaining tips/ tricks of color work knitting to make it less scary.
Glad you like them! I'm thinking of making a version in just polka dots. I promise colourwork needn't be scary - the main thing to remember is to keep your floats loose! I'll try to film a video in the next few weeks 😊
@@lilykatemakes8358 YES! All polka dots 🫶🏼💃👏🏻👏🏻
I bought CalmNight Cami but haven't knit it yet. I am thinking of using and searching silk to match m per g. I love the design.
it would be so lovely in silk 🥰
Your colourwork approach also avoids the way that wedges exaggerate a large bust. My shoulders are much narrower than my bust and a big wedge makes me look less like I need a balcony bra and more like I need a mezzanine! I avoid colourwork because of that but your dots and dashes don’t do that visual widening thing. You’re a genius. I’m here for it!
That is very true! Thank you!
Another inspiring podcast. Your designs are not only beautiful but brilliantly designed as well!
Thank you so much! I try my best!
Thank you so much. Everyone else ignores how to read the stitches after doing increases and increases. Those are easy but getting the next row right is tricky. This is just what I need to improve my increases on the Stephen West Sound Waves scarf. I’ll be back to your site for sure. ❤ and subscribed!
glad it was helpful!
Idk how this video got almost 1000 likes. You’re constantly distracting your audience, from talking about noises outside to picking at hairs to the knitting being covered by your fingers AND the knitting is blurry. Ugh. And to add on to that you’re slipping stitches off and not saying you do it. You’re not describing what you’re doing enough for a video that is supposed to be teaching. Usually I would move on but I stupidly started following what you were doing and now I’m forced to try to decipher your video. Christ
Lily Baby❤❤❤❤you simplified the whole Shabang. I been so intimidated 😂😂😂 thank u kindly
you guys are so funny and fun to watch. the fact that you guys switch on recording, it was nice and cute! thanks for sharing ❤
Lily Kate, I love your podcast. I am a new Knitter, but I’ll bet your patterns are very easy to follow and you explain very well so I really love all your garments that you have made. It’s hard to pick the first one to start with for a new Knitter, which one would you say I should start with, cause I wanna make them all
I love the first 2 and the crocheted one ❤❤❤
I’m new to knitting. What stitch? Love how quick you are. I crochet fast but knit slow. The people I run into is what to do when I mess up. How do I fix it without pulling it all out?? Lolz
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant, your antics did make me smile. What a lovely way to spend a weekend 😊 thanks for taking us along, thoroughly enjoyed it.
You look gorgeous in everything Lily, but red really looks amazing on you!
Hermoso!!! Gracias! Thank you 🥰
Can I shoot random vlog with you I am also youtuber ❤
Your vlog very interesting
First part gave me 70s girls road trip movie vibes, so nice!
haha yes exactly like that! It was a long ol' drive but the road trip was fun :)
This was lovely! I aspire to have a knitting group of friends to plan weekends like this!
apart from Claudia & I (who went to school together) the rest of us all met through knitting Instagram & my test knits! Hope you find your knitty group!
Lily I love your brown cardigan, is it one of your patterns?
thank you! Yes it is - The Pink One cardigan 😊
Love the striped tee. Will definitely knit at least one. Currently in winter in Melbourne, and I do hope uk gets some sun soon xx
❤❤❤❤❤
I just found you and love your descriptions and attention to detail 💖 Looking forward to casting on some of your designs 😍😍
Thank you 🥳
You look so pretty in your lovely short white or creamshort sleeve top. & your very red LIPSTICK. Beautiful Woman. 💯 🏴🇨🇦🍷CHEERS.
Love the idea of being inclusive with adorable yarns ❤ cable cardigan please 🙏 ❤
❤❤❤❤
Red fits you so much!
These styles are completely divine!!!
Oh Lily! You look good in everything! Love love all the outfits ❤❤❤
too kind! Thank you!
Fantastic video, Lily! Really enjoyed the look behind the designing scene and now have two of your patterns on my to make list 😊
Thanks Marlene! Hopefully it makes some kind of sense! Which are you fancying?
@@lilykatemakes8358 it totally does! you know that very feminine designs aren’t really my cup of tea for myself but the feels right tee and the take turns tank both look right up my alley! amazing and classic fit on both and great idea to rework them for another „more basic“ version to show off their versatility ☺️
Love all the details you think about when designing. Beautiful makes! Also, Love your trousers! Gorgeous fit💙
thank you! Usually works out that the simplest looking ones require most work 😅
Just found your podcast. I like your designs but they do seem to be on the expensive side.
Lovely to see all these designs and understand a bit more about the process for designing. In terms of future designs, I’d love to see another cardigan, with Lily-esque neat, fitted set in sleeves 😅 In my head the perfect cardigan would be a longer, much less oversized version of Calm Down Cardigan…. Still an every day classic, but a wee bit more form fitting.
Thanks Gail! I could definitely do a more fitted cardigan 👀
So many beautyful patterns. Thanks a lot for showing. I am looking forward for the dates they come to buy them.
thank you! The Movement Tee is available now :)
I’m making my third Tonight top right now and it makes a perfect sense for me in Southern California
love that! Glad to hear it's useful!
I love the idea of a tick sheet. I’ve just found you here on YT, but now I’m going to purchase one of your designs just to get the tick sheet!
Thank you! Not all my designs have them, but hopefully they are useful when appropriate!
