As someone who struggles with a lot of what you’re feeling. I’m 15 minutes in and had to stop and comment to say. You are awesome and you should be so so proud of yourself and your progress. 🥰

My dear Stacy. ♥ You are my hero. You are amazing. I came to see the Wool and Honey sweater. Your story is truly an epic overcome story. You are a wife, mom, knitting artist. Thank you for sharing all your makes and creations. A 66 yr old grandma from Alaska and a confident beginning knitter.You rock!

Stacy, I'm just partly through this episode but wanted to say: 1) I LOVE YOUR THROWBACK SWEATER! It looks so great on you. You have just convinced me that I need to knit one and 2.) I have been meaning to comment for awhile about the difference in you that is apparent just on your podcasts, since you started therapy. You seem so much more comfortable with who you are, where you used to apologize for it and it might sound weird but I'm so proud of you! You are fabulous. We all knew it and I suspect you are learning it now too!

You deserve a medal. And not (just) for the knitting.

I’ve only just found your podcast and have seen just a few episodes. You seem like such a sweet person and I love your podcasts. I think you are very brave talking about your struggles with your daughters birth. I just want to give you a hug when you get emotional about it. My daughter also had a rocky start (not nearly as bad as yours). And now four years later I sometimes still tear up talking about it. I’m so happy for you that your emotional health is getting better and that you found someone to help you with that.

This cardigan looks gorgeous on you and you are a beautiful lady!!!

Watching this Feb 2023 with Theo, my 17 week old puppy sleeping beside me, and 118 stitches /row on the needles for a crescent shawl. 1st lace shawl, with thoughts of the Nightshift shawl to do. Love your video. ❤

You are lovely ❤ Thank you for all of your openness and honesty about your personal issues! It was very refreshing to see and hear such an authentic and cute person as you are talking about REAL life issues! I‘m wishing you and your family all the best and health forever! Cheers from Vienna, Austria

I love watching this type of video where we get to see all the projects. It really helps when planning your own projects to hear what others like/dislike. ❤️🇦🇺

I happy fell upon this video and truly loved it. Thanks for sharing, your honesty is inspiring ❤️

What an incredible feat! Congratulations on your achievements, both in knitting & healing. You are an Inspiration!

Your knits look great on you. The color work sweaters especially the cardigan and stonecrop are really fabulous. You’re an amazing woman go for it!

I just found your podcast, yea!! I'm so sorry you had a super rough time having your baby. It's always a miracle for both mother and child. You can do anything your a mother.

Wow, thanks for the show and tell about the honey sweater. I would have been devastated after that much work.

Loved seeing all of your Andrea makes, and your transitions in life. You’re such a sweet beautiful person, and knitting is truly healing. ❤️

Pretty knits! Your baby story is almost identical to my baby stories. Both my babies were born early and in the NICU for a while. You are not alone! I wish I had knitting with me when I was in the hospital.

You're hand-knits are beautiful and very inspiring. I've not made any of Andrea's patterns but now I'm thinking I will. Thanks for this video! 😊

love your honesty about everything you went through. Glad you found healing and relaxation through knitting. Very inspiring! I love andrea mowry too!

You had me at Andrea Mowry and Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew but I also had a preemie in 2018 and he had to be in the NICU after surgeries (he is THRIVING now!) and I just wanted to send you virtual hugs, if you like, as that was not easy introduction to parenting life. ❤️

I can’t believe how many beautiful things you knitted, and just after having a baby !! You are amazing !! Thank you for sharing.I love your down to earth attitude.You are so honest and funny. You are a bit of a superwoman. The first year of having a baby can be so hard, but they just get more and more fun .xxx

Oh lady, your intro to motherhood brought me back! The power pumping, the sleep loss, the horrible thoughts, the overwhelmedness of everything. Holy moly. But I survived! And you survived! And here we are connecting through the interwebs about knitting:) Thank you for sharing your story. I see I am not alone in my experiences and that feels so wonderful.

Nice meeting you ! Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed your company watching here in Morristown New Jersey!

The sweater is gorgeous. The hem ribbing is so chic looking. Good for you with identifying at a young age to care for you. You are a such a sweet and real beautiful young lady. I so wish to be at the point of making such a gorgeous cardigan. I am working on. Wow the mint green on the shawl for Birds of Feather is a delicate looking yarn.

Oh the cardigan looks so beautiful on you love it wear it all the time it’s gorgeous

i am 10 minutes in, and i, like many of the people here (although a year later than the latest comment) wanted to say that i really admire and appreciate your openness and bravery

What a lovely, honest, inspiring podcast! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous knitted projects and yarn, and your in-depth discussion about Andrea Mowry's patterns. I love them all, of course, but now have an even better idea of which ones I hope to knit soon. Thank you also for sharing some of your life's challenges, and how you have found healing and solace in knitting - we in the knitting community can only say: Me, too xoxo

All of your knits are beautiful. I especially love your Throwback - it's the first one that has made me want to knit it!

Congratulations on your year of Andrea, your projects and personal growth. Being a new mom isn't always easy. You've got this!

What a beautiful thing to share with all of us. We are the lucky ones to have you too. My little one has had a rough journey and I appreciate the way you share your experiences and how you have coped through this first year. Take care

All your sweaters look good on you! Faded cardigan might be my next one! That wool and honey is beautiful... maybe a seam down the side might help but boxy and big is in! Glad you like yourself more!

What a fun idea to do a year-long deep dive into one designer! I have many of Andrea's patterns saved on Ravelry, too.

I love the idea of a year of Andrea. I have to do this as well. I have yarn for the Illuminate and Alpenglow, plus many of her other patterns purchased. Time to think about planning a year of small and bigger projects, you have really inspired me. I grew up in the downriver area of Detroit in a town called Southgate. I live in Idaho now. In fact I am I flying out to meet up with my sister Peggy in October and we are driving the rest of the way to Rhinebeck. If I see you there I will say hi. Thanks for podcasting, your journey and honesty will really help others,

The mustard yellow looks amazing with you hair!

Wow! This was fantastic! Thank you for your honesty! Many of us have been there, and many more will go through it. Thank you for sharing! ❤

im a liiiiittle bit late to this video but omg i love u!!!!!! that cardigan looks SO GOOD n ur incredible for managing to knit so many things while dealing with all of ur pregnancy!!!!

Thanks for the info on the Nightshift Shawl. Surprised at how short it is. Hmmmn .....So glad you mentioned it. Thank you . Love your honest comments...

Di I think a large part of it is that I have a tight gauge so I probably should have gone up a needle size or two to get the size in the schematic. So I would highly recommend gauge swatching!

That was so fun to see your year of Andrea and hear the stories associated with them. And way to go on all the work you’ve been doing on yourself. It’s so great to see you in a good place. Xoxo

What an enjoyable podcast from such a great knitter. I truly enjoyed listening to you and was amazed at how quickly you knitted all of these items from one of my favorite designers. Great job!! Thank you!

So many others will be encouraged and helped by your sharing your experiences via your Blog and here.

Thank you for sharing your work and your journey with us, Stacy! I've only been watching for a little while but I really like your narration style. Your knits turned out beautifully! That comfort fade cardi is divine! Congrats on your Year of Andrea! Looking forward to seeing more from you!

What a great episode Stacy!❤️❤️❤️ In knitting your year of Andrea you were also knitting to find yourself again! I love everything about this! Sending much love to you and your beautiful family❤️

Love the honey sweater oh my gosh you are so talented it looks great on you

This is the first Video I saw but it won‘t be the last. I think you are absolutely lovely inside and out and I really enjoyed your Story about your Year of Andrea! Great work!!!

your work is beautiful! Great video thanks!

What an amazing accomplishment! Your work and yarns are absolutely gorgeous (as are you!!) Love your podcast. I appreciate you sharing your incredible journey with us. As a NICU nurse it always warms my heart when I hear our babies do well and graduate from the NICU and into your loving arms❤️

I know I’m very late to the party with this video but I LOVED it! I love Andrea mowry patterns and you’ve inspired me to make more of them! Also, your openness about the struggles you had postpartum is so amazing. I have teenagers now and I wish I had been more open with my struggles when they were first born. 💜

This is great! I have so many of those patterns in my queue, I think I have to make the same faded cardi in the same colors!! I had similar nursing issues with my twins, it's a tough thing to go through, you do what's best for you and your baby and not what every one around you thinks you should do. You're strong and beautiful, trust yourself💕💕

Thank you for this video Stacy! I’ve never tuned in before but I was immediately hooked - your voice is so comforting to listen to, your story and your journey were so heartwarming, the technical breakdown of your experiences knitting the items and your final impressions were so helpful, and you are amazing

you are a powerful person and an inspiration. thanks for sharing your story and your amazing projects!

Beautiful video :) Your throwback cardigan is fab, and you look great in it. BUT I know why it makes you get all the feels. Hope you can enjoy it now - or pass it on so can let go some of the *stuff*. OH - and your colour choices in all these knits is giving me inspo :)

I love your Throwback it looks so so cute on you (as do all of the others)! Congrats on your year of Andrea. Both you and Eliza have come so far. You've worked so hard on yourself and as someone attempting to do the same it is *very* hard work sometimes. I always find you so inspiring, love your yarn, and greatly appreciate your honesty. None of us has a perfect life and we are all doing the best we can to make it through the best that we can. You're doing great Stacy. Keep on keeping on.

Thanks for sharing. It was fun seeing all of your knits!

You do fabulous work! I absolutely love your color choices! I have never seen more beautiful color blends! I only crochet...tried knitting and hated how hard it was and way too slow!!! But you popped up in my feed and I loved seeing all your projects! Congratulations on being a mom and still finding time for you and your knitting! 💜

You seem to be such a nice girl. Thanks for openly sharing your year. It is inspiring to see your courage!

Your personal journey is encouraging and inspiring. The knitting I am finding again is saving my own struggles. Like another posting I agree that you must be so proud of yourself. I love and can not wait for your next podcast...no pressure. Loving the hat.

I’m so loving all your stories. So glad you love your Throwback now. Hugs to you. Thanks for sharing your journey. Loving ourselves... boy that’s a hard one. 🥰🥰🥰 Cheering for you.

Jackie, I'm a couple of years late seeing your Comment to Stacy here, but I just wanted to say how much I love what you've said. "Loving ourselves ... Boy, that's a hard one." I am going to remember that because there are times when I have a friend or family member who really needs to hear those words. I make my own note cards using Whole Foods paper bags cut into rectangles with picking shears. I will include your great message as a line of inspiration on some of them. (These note cards are strictly for my own personal use, and not any kind of a business undertaking.) Thanks, Jackie!

Great job! And a wonderful way of coping👍🏻

Good job, staying on track with your plan of a year with Andrea. You do very nice work. You have good taste, so I don’t understand why you would ever feel thst you had to follow a designer’s colors and textures. I am glad to know that you finally decided to follow your own instincts. Good for you. It is important to your well being to choose yarns, and colors that you are naturally drawn to. Stepping out of your comfort zone now and then is good for you, but following your heart will bring you joy.

I’m only 15 minutes in but I love this. You are incredible. I can relate so much to your postpartum and breastfeeding journey. I don’t knit but I want to start and this is so inspiring!

All your projects are amazing, what an accomplishment! I especially loved the colours you used in your Throwback 😍 I’m so happy your feeling about the cardi have changed because it really does look great on you.

Oh my. . . God Bless you and your family💗

It was a very enjoyable episode. I especially liked being witness to your journey toward self acceptance. By the way, every single item looked great on you. (However, I do agree that you can certainly wear a smaller size in the Wool and Honey Sweater, but the one you made looks super cozy.

Loved your Year of Andrea! ❣️ She is a favorite designer of mine as well. Thank you for sharing your personal journey. My two youngest daughters are struggling with infertility and your story gives me hope for them as well. I wish you and your family all the happiness. 😀

Love your story! You are an inspiration for any new mom going through a tough time.

This was such a fun video! I am currently on my third Andrea Mowry pattern and now have many more in my queue thanks to you! Lol

Congrats on finishing your Year of Andrea! I just wanted to say a couple things ;). 1) You are GORGEOUS! every sweater that you put on (and the stonecrop) look so, so, so good on you! I totally want to knit ALL her sweaters now! 2) You are such an inspiration. I'm just 17, but seeing just how you have grown in your confidence, and been so incredibly open about is so inspiring and uplifting to me

I just want to say thank you so much for sharing your story. (Birth story) i love you and your knits and so appreciate you opening up and letting us into that personal part of your life. You are such an amazing mom and you are such a strong independent beautiful role model for your daughter and she will be so proud of you. Keep smiling, and I hope you are doing well. Stay strong and knit on! ❤️

Your a pleasant person to listen to. Love your items.

This is such a helpful video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on all these projects!

Well done! Love alot your projects. Wishing you all the best for your knit and life journey!

Love your summary of the year of Andrea and the back stories! Thanks so much for sharing. Wool and Honey looks good on you even though it is big. I think you can still get away with wearing it.

What a great idea! I liked your reflections on your work.

The honeycomb jumper is really perfect on you! Flattering size and beautifully knit. Love your colour aesthetic, too. Your story about giving birth reminded me a lot of my own experience. My daughter came with a long and difficult labour and a two week stay in the neo-natal unit. I was an older first time mother, and had longed for a child, so it hurt so much to have the bonding process interrupted. Not to mention trying to learn to breast feed sitting on plastic hospital chairs with those stitches... She is 18 now, and all is well.

This is the first time I’ve seen your podcast and really enjoyed it! I’m very impressed at the number of projects you knitted in a year especially with a baby😊. I’ll definitely be subscribing.

Omg - what an amazing share. Thank you! :)

I just found your channel and this is the first video I'm watching of yours. I love it! You've convinced me to subscribe!

What beautiful knits and your such a lovely person. Your doing an amazing job, keep on keeping on! :)

Pretty amazing, I love all your projects. Especially love the night shift, I think that is the name of it. 😁 I am new to knitting. I have to stick with straight edges on my projects. I'm not ready for sleeves and neck lines. God bless you and your family. 💖💕💕💕

The test knit sweater looks fabulous on you! And just plain fabulous. Just discovered you but I’ll definitely be watching you going forward.

I love these- everything looks great!

Personally love your throwback cardigan and that wool and honey sweater! The colours really suit you and the fit in both are great 😊 I had my first little one just over a year ago and that is amazing you managed to knit everything! I’m only just over a year into knitting and am so slow but love it 🥰

I enjoyed this video so much, as I am obsessed with Andrea designs! You are adorable, great job!

I really enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing

This video was so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Hi Stacy! I am new to your channel. Discovered while looking for videos on the Weekender! I just finished my first EVER knit, the Nightshift shawl, and now beginning the Weekender. I am SUPER novice, but feeling hopeful! - - Separate from knitting, I am so touched by your candidness on your personal journey through your pregnancy, birth, and subsequent nursing troubles. All of this resonates deeply with me, even though our struggles are very different, motherhood sure knows how to challenge us. I am proud of you for your hard work in trying to improve your mental health. I feel like I have found a new friend in simply seeing just this one video. You have made a subscriber out of me, and I look forward to seeing the rest of your channel. - Yours truly, this new knitter, soon to be mother of four, and fellow survivor of all things LIFE!; Kaitlin

I love seeing videos that show a bunch of knit makes. I am in love with Andrea Mowry. I just finished my first knit shawl, the Nightshift, and i love how pretty it is but i don’t love the asymmetrical shape. I am excited to cast on her Briochealicious shawl. 😊

Stacy, you are so sweet! Your channel was just now suggested for me to watch and I love it! I will watch more ...

How strange... as I’m watching, I can’t help feeling the beauty of how you were knitting for your future more loving self. How even in those dark days there was a love yet to be discovered? I’m knitting a Stonecrop right now - feeling all the mild loathing around my decisions - too big, not showcasing the Spincycle well enough, and on and on. Maybe some future me will also be able to enjoy this knit. 🤔🥰

Love your podcast!! I have to say...your knitting is beautiful and your colors are perfect!!! And.....the wool and honey looks good on you!! Don't be so hard on yourself, you are amazing!! I do understand about choosing colors similar to the original, so sometimes I do but sometimes I choose something totally ME!! Keep inspiring!!

Wow! You did all that while being a new mum? Girl you are amazing! Congratulations! 💕

I'm new here and will be returning!!! What a great idea...dont be suprised if this challenge goes viral! You're great and I'm glad you and your daughter made it through with good health. ❤

That sweater is amazing!!! What a great story and endurance year! Congratulations! I feel your pain on sizing. Between meds, surgeries and fibroids I don’t know my size or then I’m afraid of making something too small so then I end up making too big.

First off, I just want to say how much I enjoy your podcasts ❤️ So much of what you said (minus baby) really resonated with me. I too have knit so many of Andrea’s patterns this year. The birds of a feather I knit in HHF film noir. My husband calls it ‘our’ shawl, because I wore it on our first date. So when we got married I felt it would be fitting to knit another one of her patterns for the evenings of our wedding/honeymoon. I made the yoga shawl in Manos Del Uruguay fino in the Rosewater color way. We were in St. Lucia so needless to say I didn’t wear it for the warm evenings and hot days. I am currently making the Stonecrop and am loving it! The yarn I am using is the Magpie domestic fingering in Velvet Underground and Spincycle Moth to Flame. Anyway, I think you are amazing and admire your courage and perseverance! I hope to see you at Rhinebeck. I am lucky because it only takes us 45 minutes to get there. Keep your chin up and love yourself because no matter what size you are, the inside is what counts. I too had major body issues, but my husband loves me no matter what size I am. Look to the positive, even though I know it is easier said than done. Your attitude and kindness shines through and you will always have that! You are now my favorite KZreadr🥰

I love everything you make! The sweater that you hate is actually very beautiful and it looks great on you! I gained tons of weight during pregnancy and could not lose it for a couple of years. I lost the weight over the time without even trying. Enjoy your baby and don’t worry about anything else. Life is given only once😉 Enjoy the knitting, you are very talented!

So glad to have found you! Wisconsin girl here, just finished the Weekender and am hooked on Andrea Mowry patterns. Found myself tearing up at your descriptions of your birthing experience, and subsequent breastfeeding journey. It is HARD, mama! After watching this, want to start the Comfort Fade Cardi! Loved how you went from light to dark on the So Faded - one to start one of these soon, too!

Hope all is well. Thoroughly enjoyed your video.

Tahnsk for giving us your personal takle on Andrea's designs.

First time watching you n glad I found ya. Love your shawl

I am on my 1st Andrea as I write this! I am here knitting away on my Weekender and am now kinda nervous after your experiences with it! I already frogged it once since I thought it was huge and the tubular cast on was my first time. Now I’m almost done with the body and my fingers are crossed!!! Hopefully I’ll be happy with it! Thanks so much for inspiring me! Wow, 1 year with Andrea! Amazing!

The Throwback looks great on you
