Yours knits are beautiful! I’m loving the Whitmoor on you. That colour is amazing! 😊
I really love how short and to the point your videos are. A bunch of your knits are on my TBKs so now I want to get to them even faster. I find a lot of knitting podcasts are way too long and rabling. Your's is engaging, cute and just the right length! Can't wait for your next one and to see everything you knit in 2023.

I’m also a cable sweater girly but that lumme pullover is stunning, I might need one in an oatmeal and maroon color combo 🤔 I’m also a sucker for houndstooth and your design is gorgeous, a black and white houndstooth sweater would be to die for!

Omg, your follower count exploded from when I joined yesterday! I love that for you. You inspired me to create my own instagram to track my knitting journey. I messaged you about a possible testknit because I just fell head over heels for that houndstooth sweater! ❤ I hope you channel keeps growing and I would love to see a 2023 knitting wrapup Video.

You remind me of a younger version of Mary-Louise Parker!❤ Enjoying your new channel & looking forward to more!
That brown white colorwork sweater is gorgeous! Also love your colorchoices. As a feedback, i think it could be helpful to have the pattern names written in the video, but i understand that this would also mean more work for you while editing. Btw. yeah lets be friends :) I'm currently quite into knitting socks, until now too afraid to start a sweater, and also bc of the costs and stuff. I do not know if you are into sock-knitting, but there are also a ton of colorwork-socks (i.e. from designers like Chatlotte Stone), maybe that would be something for you. Looking forward to further videos. Ps. I really like that u explain stuff like the short rows for people that are maybe quite new to knitting, as well quite encouraging to hear about your view on testknitting! Greetings

Hi Lillian, You just popped up this morning on my KZread and I got reeled in because I loved the sweater you are wearing. I wasn't sure if it was the Lume sweater you listed in your notes. If I may make a suggestion that you provide links in your notes when listing the projects so we can just click on them and be taken there!!!!!😘The other thing that captivated me on your new vlog is your exquisite colorwork! You are a gifted knitter that I can be inspired from. I am just now venturing out trying new techniques after years of knitting but reluctant to creep out of my comfort zone. But as our lives change sometimes circumstances allow us to stretch out more and I think thats what has nudged me more out of my comfort zone. So colorwork is definitely in my future at some point now that I'm retired with time to focus on what I'm doing. If you are taking suggestions, I would love to hear your story on how you became the knitter you are at such a young age. Did you have a mentor that inspired you or did you just read books to propel you to your current knitting excellence? What are you up to when you aren't knitting? I watched your 1st episode to see if you provided any insight into your knitting excellence but didn't hear that backstory yet. Look forward to your next vlogcast!!!!!! Carrie from Northern San Francisco Bay Area🥰❤🐕🐑🌹☕🧵🪡🧶

Wow thank you!! Learning new techniques is one of my favorite parts of knitting and I would love to do some knitty backstory in a future video!
What lovely work. I love the sweater you are wearing so will head back to find that name. Also the colorwork sweater that you started with all the different colors was amazing! I just saw someone wearing something like that (it was most likely store bought) and I immediately wanted to try and find a pattern. I’d love to see how this one develops. I’ve never test knit before, but if that one continues to look amazing I’d love to test knit it (assuming it isn’t worsted weight, that’s just too heavy for my NM climate). What a fun podcast you have. Hope you keep it up.
Gorgeous projects! I’m looking forward to your houndstooth sweater pattern! My daughter is named Lillian so your channel caught my eye. I work at my LYS so I have access to lots of different yarns.

More two-color work sweaters and explain gauge. Love your video
First let me say wow what a fabulous knitter you are. I’m not trying to be mean hopefully it’s helpful you. Sometimes your sentence starts off strong then you trail and your voice goes down and you cover your mouth and become inaudible. I read people read lips often when I’m not sure what I hear was correct I’ll rewatch and watch the lips. I assume others do that as well. Especially if voice level is raised and lowered. Unfortunately, your voice isn’t always audible. We really want to hear everything you are saying and wish to say. ❤😊 When you trail off. If you speak up we can look up when you say you are showing something. You know what I mean, you watch others, lol😊😅😂😊🧶. Thanks so much O enjoyed very much and am a new subscriber.

Definitely not mean haha! I totally am guilty of this in real life as well 😂 I know it can be difficult for subtitles to capture as well so definitely something I will be mindful of in the future!
That white sweater is beautiful! What if you did a white collar with a tiny pop of one of the contrast colors?
@Knitsbylillian

Ooh that would be stunning!! I ended up just doing a white collar because I ran out of my contrast color lol
I just found your channel and I love all the colorwork you shared😊 do you have any tips or tricks on how to read repeats in stranded color work specifically in a repeat based chart?
@Knitsbylillian
5 ай бұрын
Ooh this is a great question I also find this tricky!! Honestly printing out the pattern was very helpful for me when I first started doing colorwork, I would figure out how many repeats of the section I needed to do and make a tally mark by the row number each time I completed a repeat. Kind of tedious but definitely helped me! 😂
2-color brioche is easy-peasy, easier than 1-color, BTW.
