    Hi Pia, thanx for another lovely episode. Since you asked: I think the neckline is a somehow too trendy or sporty on this beautiful classic sweater. A two by two rib is in my opinion a better option that will be timeless. Save trip to Denmark and greetings from a very rainy Netherlands

    Thanks! I have decided to go ahead with it, but have told Peter that I can change it to a 2x2 ribbing, which i find somehow more appropriate.

    Thank you for the afterthought buttonhole tutorial! I can do that! In my mind buttons are like an accessory on many cardigans; I put on jewelry after I get dressed, not before- so same concept! BTW what was that great cardigan hanging behind you?

    I just recently found your podcast , love your travels and knitting. Peter’s sweater is beautiful and made with so much love. I like this neckline it makes it one of kind. You are a beautiful knitter. Wondering if your vest with ties is a easy knit for a beginner who has knit for awile not so many sweaters

    Welcome!! I'm happy you're enjoying the podcast. I would say the vest is for an adventurous beginner - the shoulder construction is kind of special, with lots of increases, but I'll be right here to help, if you should need it!

    Rigtig fin halskant på Peters sweater, men har du/I prøvet, hvordan den fungerer med en skjorte under? Du nævnte jo, at der i ærmerne skulle være plads til en skjorte. Håber det fungerer, for den er fin👍🥰

    Hej Pia, Peters sweater bliver rigtigt flot/smart. Jeg kan godt lide halskanten. Din cardigan med frynser, som hænger i baggrunden - jeg kan huske, at jeg har set den før. Men er det dit eget design, og findes der en tilgængelig opskrift? Den er jeg nemlig vild med 😊 God tur til DK.
