This is my favourite epidode!

Adding Silver Springs & Lydia top to my list for my daughter. Absolutely love your own design in that last one!

Wow. I just seen and subscribed to your channel. Your creations are absolutely beautiful 😍

Love the sweater you designed (41:15). I would love to buy the pattern! I really like the puffy sleeves! Perhaps you could offer both options, a puffy sleeve and straight sleeve, once you publish the design. I also purchased Diaphanous, and I plan to make the long sleeve version because I feel the mohair/wool combination for the body will make it too warm for a short sleeve summer top. I also find that other necklines flatter me more than a v neck, and I am trying to see if I can modify the pattern to make a scoop or boat neck. I don't know what it is, but v necks are just not my style. I love squared necklines!

I so would love to work on releasing these one of a kind items, still being so new in my journey and still finding information on grading to be quite limited, I'm still hanging in there that one day I could. I would offer a few sleeve options for sure! Even without as just a strappy top it's lovely. I too struggle with V necks, I'm not sure why but it just doesn't feel right and that's totally okay 💚

@@kattweaver That would be nice. I loved all your tops, but especially the very summery ones with no sleeves. I'm 5'2" and a little thing myself, I rarely wear a bra and love how your tops give enough coverage and security, that things arent popping out or thru. Question...can wool really be cool in the summer? I live in the hottest most humid part of the U.S. and just cant find a decent yarn, acrylic is hot no matter how fine, cotton weighs a ton, and I never thought of wool in the summer. I loved all your tank/ crop tops but can never find a pattern for anything even close to what you've made...your work is lovely, and I hope you write up patterns one day.

All of your makes are seriously SO inspiring! I need to get ahold of some Qing Fibre... I've recently become obsessed with mohair, and will probably end up making a ranunculus out of it after seeing your black one. I tested a pattern fully out of mohair that might be right up your alley. Its called the Aura Sweater and it's by Gingko B (@gingko.be on instagram) and it's coming out this weekend I believe!
