it really is so interesting to see how different other knitters are! i tried using tiny circs for sock knitting and absolutely despised the process, probably because i like being able to rest my hand on the bottom of a four or five inch needle and using that as leverage to move my stitches around more easily. now i'm strictly a two-at-at-time sock knitter on a very long magic loop, and i'm never looking back! it's just incredibly convenient and i'm glad to never get stuck on sock island ever again!

Wow now I want to try 2-at-the-time socks on magic loop, thanks for sharing!

I really like your straightforward, informative approach to podcasting. Your knits are great as well.

Beautiful things Amy! Enjoyed as always😊

Love the buttons on your April Cardigan. I really like your Riley Tee and Polo Sweater. Your Cambria Wrap and Shift Cowl are stunning! 😍

An excellent post-we appreciate your input on both the pros & cons

Thanks for this awesome episode! I really appreciate hearing the details you pay attention to inthe patterns & fabric. Super helpful as I consider which patterns I'd be interested in knitting to try a new technique also to wear!

Excellent work! thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces.

What a great variety of items! They all look wonderful! I want to make my first pair of socks this year and have heard a few other knitters mention the vanilla socks so will have to check out the pattern! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing the pros and cons of your experience with the different projects!

Impressive round up for 1 year! Loved the detailed discussion of all the patterns and yarns - truly helpful when considering the pattern, thank you!!

The finish work on your garments is exquisite! Your knitting is so even. Great work! I enjoy your commentary on your garments as well. Thank you.

Fantastic knits. I learn a lot from your videos and appreciate your time in creating them.

Thanks for your in-depth, honest assessment of your sweaters. I’d like to knit my first sweater, so I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks, too, for using some affordable yarn choices that are readily available. I really enjoy listening to you talk about knitting.

Love your facial expressions when you really love your knit 🧶

Such an informative and thorough video! Really appreciated your thoughts on the construction and design of the garments, as well as your yarn choices ❤️

With Cami 4's straps, I thrifted a tank for my kid with a similar issue over the summer. I added a cute little button and loop on the back of the straps to make it a racerback with added detail to stop the slouching.

I loved this video! Thanks for sharing 😊 I’m inspired to try sweater no.9! 😁

They are beautiful and you did a great job( love those colors ) Thanks you for sharing this video with us🙏👌💕🙏

Hello! I am watching this a year later, so maybe you already know what I wanted to write here. I wanted to give you a little tip when you knit a surprise sweater again for your husband. You can simply chose one of his favourite garments that are in a similar style and fabric and use it as a kind of "template". Like this you can lay your project flat on the favourite garment and check width and length of body and sleeves. This is a foolproof method of getting your surprise to fit well in the end. I am happy to have discovered your channel. It was a very interesting video and you seem very sweet and well-spoken. Thank you for a great watch. Happy knitting!

I think I'd really wear a cami under things or to sleep in, so cozy. Congratulations on your marriage! 💕

The Two of Wands patterns are on my queue this year!! Yours look beautiful and so glad it’s a bra friendly and everyday garment - that’s exactly what I’m looking for! There are so many underrated summer tops out there besides the overly popular IG camis that are not that wearable daily honestly

@neknits

Agreed there! One of my goals this year is to focus on knitting more wearable patterns. It is such a waste of energy to make a top that isn't wearable!

that hellscape camisole is a beautiful beautiful clubbing shirt, i'm sorry it was such a hassle! but it is gorgeous. maybe if the strap thing doesn't work you could just display it like art !

Your projects are so inspiring 🤩 I would love to make a Riley tee this summer maybe with some CoBoo I have in my stash. :)

I just found your channel and so happy to see your choice of sweater patterns. I am a huge fan of Petite Knit patterns and am also petite in height. Your comments about sizing and yarn selection will be so helpful when I get started on some of those sweaters that are in my cue. I don't like yoke colorwork patterns on my frame (although I think they are beautiful and have made several so I know they don't work for me) and too warm for everyday wear in Kansas where I live. It seems like KZread focuses too much on those types of sweaters. Looking forward to seeing more of your content in the future!

I've just started watching your videos, and I really enjoy the visuals, how you present the information, the choice of models. I think (take my opinion with a grain of salt, please) the second sweater could have benefitted from being a touch denser/stiffer, being knit on the smaller size needles cause it gets a bit too droopy around the arm on the pic on 6:12. Also, it pulls blueish on you cause you're probably neutral to warm and have a sufficient amount of yellow to your complexion. The zipper sweater, the vest and the neck cowl are my favs, beautiful pieces!

I see your 2nd jumper as light blue.

You produce beautiful work. Regarding the camisole No 4, as I look at yours, I think I might try to start the shoulder straps early - meaning, make them wider. Thoughts? I definitely prefer bra friendly tank options

This video must have taken a lot of work to make! I enjoyed watching very much, thank you so much for sharing 😊

Just an FYI - I purchased the Sweater #9 and Sweater #9 Lite patterns. The Lite pattern calls for short rows for the yoke and shoulders, so it's not as beginner friendly as the original #9. #themoreyouknow

@neknits

Ooo good to know! That makes me more drawn to the Lite version now - I've been loving all of my sweaters that have short row shaping in the yoke! They fit so nicely

I had all the same issues with camisole #4! Which is such a bummer bc I was so excited to wear it 😢 I made it in cotton and I might try to shrink it

It's such a pretty piece and I was so disappointed that I don't love it! I hope you are able to adjust yours to be wearable!

Another fabulous, engaging, informative video and I thank you for your dedication to inform. I just recently purchased Valley Yarns Southampton alpaca silk from Webs at 7.29 per ball and Lion Brand Fishermans wool to make the Port Sweater by Ozetta. Got discounts and sales on both yarns so I feel pretty lucky there. I just hope the two combined won't be too bulky. I did the math for the size I am making and hope 5 balls of alpaca will be enough. Do you have plans to make any of the Ozetta patterns? I also like the Lakes Pullover. You have experience in knitting with mohair held with other yarns and I am making a size medium. Do you think 5 balls is enough? Like I said, I did the math and hope I have enough to swatch with. thank you!!

It seems popular now to use combining yarns .. does that make it more expensive , buying 2 lots of yarn ? Love your podcast susan :))

@neknits

It is more expensive because yes, it's 2 whole lots of yarn. Although I enjoy the effect of the combined yarns, I'd love to find more yarn options that meet gauge without an added strand of mohair. To help save some $$ !

Hi there! Welcome! There are a lot of great local yarn shops in the greater Boston area. Here is a short list that participated in the Greater Boston Yarn Crawl, all have greal wools and mohairs for sweaters. greaterbostonyarncrawl.com/participating-shops/ I order Knitting for Olive online at their website, and some of the Sandnes Garn yarn I used I purchased while in Europe, but you can find some online retailers for them as well.

Where do you get the wool wash?
