Thank you! A great choice of 1-skein-patterns! I‘ll knit one of each, at least👏🏻 I love those mits!! Happy day to ever

I need this! I got a really pretty worsted hand dyed skein in a trade. It's so pretty, it feels untouchable.

Another great compilation episode! They are all beautiful patterns, but I especially love the mittens!

So many pretty patterns! Those shawls are so pretty and I really want to make those mittens!

I'm knitting the Danny Boy hat, which matches the Little Eyes baby boots that I'm making as a stash busting set.

Fun projects. I just found a scarf called……Easy…….by Martina Behm of Hitchhiker fame and it is great. I like it so much I’m on my 4th.

The Aveya shawl by Tamy Gore just came out a d I've already set a skein aside for that. It's sort of like a stitch sampler

You have a Sweater Weather candle. I so love that fragrance. They had to stop making it because it’s a copywritten phrase. You know it’s a legal issue. Dang. Love your channel.

Hello from St.Louis Missouri!

Hi there, I'm new to your channel and a fellow Canadian ;) Great idea about using crochet bobbles, I find they look more bobbley lol. Thanks for pulling shawl examples ... I've been struggling finding a shawl pattern to make my mom who is in long term care and is cold even in the summer, poor thing. I've ripped out 3 that I started that just weren't quite right. I need to work with a worsted and find something that will still look good with a lacey style. I figure this way it will have weight for her but not be quite as hot. Great video ;) Sunshine

The Reyna shawl is fab and it's free! I knit one for a friend last year. Also, I knit a Summer Secret Crop in fingering weight last year and I found that it has stretched out in odd places since it's such a loose gauge in such a fine yarn. I wouldn't make it again in fingering tbh (even though I 💜Jessie Mae so much), maybe in DK which would add a bit more structure

@@birchandlily Yep, I've washed it and laid it out a few times, it always stretches back out pretty quickly. Maybe a non-superwash would hold its shape better though

I've made a couple Summer Secret Crop tanks and am amazed that the pattern is free! She includes so much information, different ways to set the straps, etc. I'm going to be starting on a couple more Jessie Maed Design tops - the Ripple tank for my daughter and the So Summer tee for myself. Question - If my special skein has a twin and I use them both in a top, does that still count for the KAL? I'm thinking so but figured I'd check. 😊
