    Love love love watching you girls. Your sweet personalities and gracious attitudes are a blessing every single episode. You always inspire me to try new things. For “first sweaters”, I agree that a crew neck raglan is the way to go. Mostly for the fact that you can try it on as you go,but also to overcome gauge discrepancies and to decide for your body where it’s best to split for sleeves. They’re generally very forgiving. Another beginner tip-pick heathered yarn, as the color flecks camouflage stitches that aren’t perfectly even. You mentioned Very Pink Knits on KZread-she is a wealth of knitting knowledge and has numerous tutorials. I’m sure she has a “knit your first raglan sweater” video. I go back to her for both new techniques and refreshers often. May you and your family have a blessed Easter.

    I am knitting my first sweater for myself. For at least the last 50 years I have been knitting sweaters, socks,hats mittens, etc., for everyone in my family except myself. My husband said, it is time I knitted something for me besides socks, and he is correct. I would have really appreciated having a daughter, but God saw fit to give me two boy and a grandson. All boys and then just me. But honestly, I have been so blessed, so not going to complain. I love your podcast, thank you so much for your time and all the work to make these podcasts for the rest of us to enjoy. Gods Blessings to you both and your nice big family ❣️

After I understood how Julie writes her patterns in Sweater Workshop, her book, and filled out the worksheet for the pattern, I realized how amazing her patterns are. I may never knit another sweater any other way. I enjoyed your videocast today.

    Hard to believe you started a year ago..I think I found you around episode 2. You have been fantastic since the beginning! Thank you for your sweater encouragement..starting with a child’s sweater sounds like a good idea to understand the construction. I never thought I’d learn to knit socks and was easier than I imagined. Also when I watch these videos I can click to the left side and see the chat comments from your live premier😊Also love the simple skirts Kaity is making…you can also make from vintage pillowcases with elastic run through the bottom hem…haven’t made any but bought a few at a craft sale. They are perfect for pulling on with a tee as an alternative to shorts in the warmer weather..and if made from vintage pillowcases they are already been washed and dried many times😊

I don’t have a lot of spring sweaters so I am also knitting on my second Coloring Book Raglan shirt sleeves while waiting for more wool to come so I can finish my Salty Air Tee.
