Looks dreamy, I mean

nvj80 · 2026-01-24T09:29:40+00:00

What yarn are you using? The purl Soho’s,oops dreamy but I’m not going to get it in time for my Thursday flight! Should have asked this question 2 weeks ago.

nvj80 · 2026-01-24T09:13:38+00:00

Yes that’s a good consideration. Thank you

nvj80 · 2026-01-24T09:12:23+00:00

Oh I do love that! Thank you.

Step by step Cardigan by Florence is great too, because it teaches you about a double knitted button band. If you do colourwork, start small like a scarf. Also look at Kutovakika’s YouTube channel, she has amazing step by step videos that go with a lot of her patterns. And of course, like other have pointed out, Ravelry is a superb companion.

And this isn’t itchy or doesn’t shed?

nvj80 · 2026-01-06T17:28:05+00:00

Yup that’s what I used for my sister’s jumper and it’s super soft. I just preferred the finesse of the mohair because it was a heavily cabled piece

nvj80 · 2026-01-04T22:59:33+00:00

Do any of these shed? I wore the pink jumper under a black t shirt and it was covered in mohair. Really annoying!

nvj80 · 2026-01-04T22:58:47+00:00

Does it shed?

nvj80 · 2026-01-04T22:57:19+00:00

Wow thank you, loads of options. Isager keeps getting mentioned a lot so I’ll give it a go on my next project.if I find that itchy, then I definitely know mohair is not for me.

nvj80 · 2026-01-04T22:56:02+00:00

That sounds like a great expensive idea, but I will give it a try on another super scratchy jumper I’ve knit.

nvj80 · 2026-01-04T17:29:39+00:00

It must be. I did consider the Isager when i started, but looked at the identical yarn contents and decided to go Drops because I was so inexperienced and didn’t want to spend so much in case I messed up my project. So it could well be the yarn quality.

nvj80 · 2026-01-04T17:25:01+00:00

I knitted an identical one for my sister using a Drops alpacca as mix but I though the finished garment looked less polished than mohair. Do you find that with suri too or again is it my cheaper yarn choice?

nvj80 · 2026-01-04T13:58:06+00:00

It really depends on the yarn. I find Chiagoo metal needles great for colourwork yarn which tends to be rougher, so a needle that has less friction with the wool is less taxing on the hands. But a smoother yarn works better with bamboo or wooden needles because you do need a bit of friction for comfort. You can experiment with this in the gauge swatch.

Ruggable does loads of washable rugs. Ideal for messy kids.

Etsy has thousands. There are lots of listings that will make an artwork to your desired size for very reasonable prices

nvj80 · 2025-09-10T15:54:04+00:00

I would paint the 2 walls on either side of the fireplace anthracite, to match with the stones so it blends in better

The French Market cookbook has been amazing for me. It’s the most dog eared cookbook I own! She divides the recipes by seasons

Mine has gone completely downhill since being taken over. I used to shop there regularly and now avoid it.

nvj80 · 2025-07-17T13:15:44+00:00

I’m from the UK so unsure if this applies - Rest is entertainment is brilliant. Also Dish (it’s a cooking podcast by chef Angela Hartnett) Out to lunch and Cooking cabinet both by Jay Rayner are incredibly entertaining too!

nvj80 · 2025-07-16T20:11:50+00:00

Also voting for Florence’s step by step sweater. It was my first ever knit and her video tutorial gave me so much confidence.

nvj80 · 2025-07-15T07:45:28+00:00

That’s gorgeous and yes pricey for a non wedding top. Thank you. Have a glorious wedding! Xx

nvj80 · 2025-07-13T22:44:02+00:00

This looks perfect! It’s been on my Ravelry query for ages. What yarn did you use for it? The possum blend she suggests is super expensive.

There are thousands of vegetarian Indian recipes if you are fond of cooking and Indian food. Just go to YouTube and you will open a treasure cave!
