Just wanted to leave a little update: after talking to a tester of the Eclair Raglan (thank you!) she let me know that the pattern uses about a worsted weight.

Oh Amanda, you are definitely going to be quilter! Your Heirloom quilt cardigan is stunning and now your going to make the Patchwork pullover. A whole world of fabric / fiber arts fun is waiting for you x

So many good patterns! I just bought the Traveler pattern and I loveee the Eclair. They're both on my long-term queue. Not sure when I'll get to them but hopefully someday!

I feel you there! There’s just too many wonderful patterns and not enough time!

One of my dream knits for this fall is a Kerr Sweater by Rebecca Clow. I actually cast it on just the other day. I'm excited! It'll be my first sweater and my first colorwork project. I've also been eyeing the Salty Days Sweater by Veronika Lindberg.

Ohhh! Those are both definitely on my queue. I’m fact, the Kerr almost made it into this video!

I LOVE all of the colors you showed for these patterns! I'm not super into neutrals, but the more neutral yarns you showed have lots of interest in them. Also, I hope you end up making the Tessellated Pullover with those yarns! I just finished my vest and I love it so much.

I haven't knitted a cardigan yet but at the absolute top of my dream-knit-cardigan list is the Jacket No. 1 by MYFT. I have the sweater no. 18, which has the same texture and it is my alltime favorite sweater, so I feel like I would wear the hell out of that cardigan. And I think it would look great with your Explorer Knits and Fibers yarn! Thanks for another great video, I am always happy when I see a new one pop up in my timeline :)

I’m currently knitting the Calm Down Cardigan by Lily Kate makes and am really enjoying it. It has a unique construction and with enough detailing to make it interesting but does not overshadow the beauty of the yarn. Simplistic but very cute!

I have EKF yarn to make a Field Day cardigan, hopefully for Rhinebeck. I’m all about v neck cardigans too. Hope to get yarn for Elah, Vodka Straight Up and Wjnter’s beach when I’m at Rhinebeck. I also like Seasons.

I can’t speak for the gauge bc I ignored it and used fingering and adjusted lol but I just finished a longer sleeve full length bastardized version of Falesia by Emilie Luis and I am in love with the outcome and ease of styling it. I was 100% won over by the cute increase lace for the raglan

For your EKF fiadh yarn…have you thought about doing a Lanark by Creabea? It’s a half fisherman’s rib 1/4 zip pullover. Not quite a cardigan…but you mentioned that you like half fisherman rib so I thought i would suggest it!!

I did look at that one! Sadly I don’t have enough yarn. Fisherman’s rib uses so much!

I do a lot of test knits like you and find I never get to all the sweaters and shawls I want to make. What percentage of your finishes are testknits vs post releases...Love some of your choices - once I get done with my test knits...maybe....🤣
