From Burnout to a Life I Actually Love: Q&A

You asked, I answered! In this Q&A video I'm sharing things I've never talked about on this channel before: the career I left behind, how I ended up building a handmade wardrobe, and what my life looked like before slow living and knitting became my world. We cover a lot of ground in this one: my background and education, how I started this YouTube channel, my knitting journey, top-down sweater construction and raglan lines, German short rows, how to treat unravelled yarn, and much more. Whether you're a longtime knitter, someone curious about slow living, or just stumbled across this video, I hope you find something here that resonates. I hope you enjoy! Best wishes, Annika 🌿 Join ✨The Handmade Wardrobe Circle✨: https://www.skool.com/the-handmade-wardrobe-circle If you’ve been wanting to create a wardrobe that feels more intentional, cohesive, and truly aligned with you, I’d love to invite you into my cozy online community, The Handmade Wardrobe Circle. This month inside the community, we’re exploring color: personal color palettes, choosing yarn colors more intentionally, building handmade wardrobes that work together and understanding why certain colors make us feel more like ourselves. But beyond that, it’s also a space for: thoughtful conversations about knitting and creativity monthly quests and gentle inspiration sharing projects, yarn choices, and ideas slowing down and enjoying the process of making and connecting with other knitters and fiber lovers from around the world If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, you’d be very welcome to join us 💕 https://www.skool.com/the-handmade-wardrobe-circle 🎥 Timestamps: 00:00 intro 00:25 personal 10:00 YouTube 19:56 knitting 📚 Knitting Patterns and other resources mentioned: what I'm wearing: Anker Tee by PetiteKnit: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/anker-tee my favorite sweater: Sweater No. 28 by My Favourite Things: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/sweater-no-28 my vintage knitted dress: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/vintage-dress-in-nutiden Sweater No. 12 by My Favourite Things: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/sweater-no-12 my first sweater: Strokkur by Ysolda Teague: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/strokkur Dandelion (Lady Mademoiselle) by Along avec Anna: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/dandelion-lady-mademoiselle Garnered Cardi by Alicia Plummer: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/garnered-cardi my crochet blankets: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/natures-palette-hexie-cal-2024 https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines/granny-stripes Liedags (Seashore) Sweater by Linda Skuja: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/liedags-seashore-sweater 🌿 Shop my all natural, hand dyed yarns*: https://rosemaryandpinesfa.etsy.com 🧶 My knitting pattern designs: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/annika-scheer 🧶 Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/RosemaryAndPines 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosemaryandpines/ 🌿 Website/Blog: rosemaryandpinesfiberarts.de image credits: The rights to the pictures shown in this video belong to the designers. my content post-production partner: https://crossxmedia.agency/ *This link is an affiliate link.
