I would love for you to go into detail about sizing and changing gauge and making a pattern fit your gauge. I'm a pretty new knitter and it feels like on youtube there are so many videos where they use the correct yarn and their gauge is perfect and everything turns out great and I don't learn anything, but not many videos showing how to actually come to grips with a different yarn weight or slightly off gauge and varying needle size. What ever amount of detail you want to go into will be gratefully received by me. Love your channel and I'm glad you're feeling better.

Oh I didn't know there weren't that many videos about that out there -- I'll be sure to include all the information in the vlog then. Thanks a lot for letting me know!! :D And thanks of course for watching my videos and your kind words :)

I definitely appreciate this video. You're reminding me of the fun I had when i first started knitting. I'd fallen victim to trendy knitting and absorbing people's projects and finished objects, instead of just enjoying the actual process of knitting. Great book suggestions for pattern grading, i definitely want to check it out. Also I'd love to hear your explanations for vintage pattern knitting:)

Ah thank you so much, very happy to hear that! :D I'll be sure to include lots of information -- I also started working on a vintage German pattern from the 50s that I had lost sight of, but found yesterday by coincidence. Deciphering and working it up has been a really nice process, so I'm very excited to talk about that soon on the channel :)

You can substitute with the next yarn size. For example, silk mohair is lace, lace + fingering/sport = DK, DK + lace= worsted, worsted + lace = Aran. You can substitute with different lace (wool, alpaca, silk)

love the midvinter sweater! it looks good on him, and i appreciate your insights on the small indignities of making due with standardized clothing. i think about what it must have been like to live in a human world where everything was handmade.

Thank you so much!! It has been a really fun experience getting a better comprehension of garment construction -- especially when knitting vintage patterns it's fascinating to see how much understanding the average knitter at the time had.

Seji dear you are really a genius and no doubt you will be making those formal garments sooner than you think. Im curious to know how long it took you to learn Japanese, what a handy skill. I have a question for you.... I bought a rather simple knitting pattern from Daruma Japan in the hopes that I could fathom it out. Its really only 2 pages with schematics and some numbers, oh and a tiny little amount of actual text. Of course I cant make it out, but I have not really studied it closely. Any chance you can help me to figure it out at some time. I am happy to offer you a pattern of your choice from Ravelry. Anyway...... there is no rush as I am very involved with a few WIPS but Id love to make the Japanese sweater some time. Also, I find that people who do the vlogging dont really offer much craft content on a daily basis, more a life style type of thing, like walking the dog, cooking etc. so dont worry too much about having projects to show on a daily basis. Ok then, till next time take care and happy crafting.

Thank you so much for the kind words and yay what an offer! If you send me an e-mail over at theartisangeek@gmail.com I'd be happy to help out :) I've studied Japanese sporadically for about 8 years at this point. I'd say I'm at an intermediate level at the moment, certainly not fluent, but enough to find my way with most things :) And thank you for the vlog info, my life I think wouldn't be all that interesting for one vlog a day, perhaps a weekly vlog would be fun to do!

Bring Danish I knit a lot of danish designs but I find mohair itschy, expensive and non sustainable. I use Alpaka instead or a thicker wool. Wools who Are fluffy kan make some of the same feeling as mohair and Are less seethrough. Lene Holme samsøes designs can look vintage if you down size and Are great to knit. Thank you for a different podcast. I will follow you.😊

Oh substituting for alpaca sound interesting. Do you have any specific alpaca yarn that you use? I actually am knitting the Inge sweater by Leknit at the moment, really liking the way it's coming out -- it's indeed looking very vintage :D Thank you for watching and subscribing!! :)

@@SejiFields I use Danish yarn like Isager Alpakka 1. Its very thin. I would lige to try cama rose who has made one to replace mohair and should be soft and fluffy. I want to knit Inge as well but all the original yarn in colors on the picture was sold out in Denmark when it came out so now I will till fall
