    In my part of the English speaking world the word "salty" would describe a person who's language includes lots of swear words and vulgar or crude phrases/stories. Someone you would NOT want young children to hear talking. 😂 Your new sweater is definitely GORGEOUS and thanks for sharing both Portugal, Spain AND your creative journey as you design such lovely knits! I excited for your "salty" sweater pattern to become available! 🤣

This put a smile to my face! 😅 (My husband has asked me to teach him how to knit as the ladies at his work are getting together to knit a square blanket for one of their team members convalescence. Everyone in the team has to knit a square. Hubby included. He keeps putting it off but he did ask me if he will learn on straight needles or circular. Bonus points for him asking that!!!!

    Absolutely enchanted from start to end with this video, not only did you take us somewhere beautiful but you shared the truth of your completely captivating design process and I was as mesmerized to learn from that as I was to get to see what ultimately worked. I promise that calling your burgeoning sweater "The Salty Sweater" is a legitimate and safe choice in English. Salty can mean "cheeky" or "sassy" but it carries a bit more connotation of "angry, hostile, short or terse" though not enough that you could not name your beautiful sweater this way. I like its impudence and I LOVE its look. I will be on the lookout for it no matter what you call it!

    I have bought your Salty Days pattern and right now I’m working on my Stripe Hype sweater in Drops Alpaca Silk held double. I really wanted to do the Salty Days first but I’m waiting on yarn to come in to the US from Lithuania. I have a couple color choices. Cobalt electric blue, or grass green. I’m hoping that the colors won’t be too dark to see the gorgeous texture. I think it’ll be fine after seeing all of yours. 😊 ❤Love your videos and your patterns.
