The Flossi Podcast: Episode 13
After a very busy few weeks, it was lovely to sit down and chat you you about what has been happening lately! I've had lots of design work and sample knitting to complete, so my personal projects have had to take a bit of a back seat, but I'm so excited to share a little something that will be coming this September. Tilly also makes an appearance, and then decides to be noisy...but then she is a dog.
I hope you enjoy the episode! Claire x

The sweater you designed is lovely!!
Love test knitting for you - beautiful sweater....8-)
Beautiful makes... Lovely to catch up
A beautiful episode Claire. Thank you so much for including us! I'm a huge fan of your designs and super excited about working with you again. Much love Rachel xx
Hello from Canada(Quebec), first time i watch your podcast and love your work. Wow this cardigan is absolutely. beautiful. One more to be added in my future projects :). Thanks fir sharing.
Hello to you Claire I’m from Minnesota USA. I just discovered your channel. I’m working on a small shawl for my sister called Spring Kerchief in Holst Titicaca, a scrappy blanket Granny stripe crochet, I put summer longing into time out until I can clear up brain space to continue. My plan was to begin Lightweight Hipster tomorrow for JOJI fall Kal. Good intentions My sister is not a knitter and her birthday is 9/11 so this quick shawl needs to get finished. Your cardigan is lovely and I also love the texture of the shawl you have started both are tempting prospects for future knitting
I am looking forward to the publication of your beautiful cardigan! I am making a cardigan at the moment using an early pattern in the first Laine magazine, Lanes, and Hillsvag's Tinde yarn, a lovely rustic Norwegian yarn that I bought in Norway two years ago.
Such a great episode! I love hearing how designers think about their work and structure their plans, please keep sharing!
Such a pretty cardi. ❤️
Such a beautiful cardigan, it’s absolutely gorgeous, a real caress of a cardigan ❤️
I love your new Cardigan pattern. Such pretty details on the side. The new shawl looks fun too! 💕
This is a great intro to the sweater and the fabric is awesome.. I am so happy to be involved with it.
Brilliant podcast 👍 I love the shawl pattern and the detail is absolutely gorgeous, can’t wait to see it finished. Cardigan is in a beautiful colour and looks very stylish and would work well for either dressing up or dressing with jeans. Tilly looking cute as ever and lovely shots of the beach. Looking forward to next podcast.
Such a pretty sweater! I couldn’t see the speckles of color in the candy color yarn, I have their yarn and just saw it in a yarn store ( no speckles) - the yarn in fingering weight goes from thick to thin, it drives me a little crazy, some people say it’s soft but I find it rather course. The fingering weight is very light fingering- just wanted people to know if they plan to order online if they can’t see it at their lys.
What a lovely cardigan! As a fairly active test knitter I have really appreciated designers who have made possible the social aspect of test knitting, not just the feedback to the designer. ❤️ I guess test knitting is a similar experience for me as KALs are for some knitters - rather social than technical.
Enjoyed every minute. Another LOVELY episode. Signed up for your newsletter. Appreciated the look into the design process from pattern to tech edited to testing. I googled Names for Grey cardigans and a baby website came up suggesting: Floyd is a male Welsh name derived from the Welsh “Llwyd”. It means “grey or grey-haired”. P.S. Tilly is so so sweet!
Love your new sweater design. I think you should name it Tilly!
Hi Claire, loved your podcast again. Your new cardigan pattern is gorgeous! I'm hopeless at thinking of names............so no help there, but I love Patti's suggestion of "Cwtch" (Hug) for such a cosy garment! I might have to give 'Tangled Yarns' a visit, not far from me in Warrington. 😉
Hi Claire, I really enjoy your podcasts and love that cardigan, can't wait to get my hands on the pattern. No clue on a name though, sorry. I'm knitting on my third Musselburgh hat as I'm watching, it's a great pattern, so cosy and easy. Looking forward to the next Flossi podcast. Judi
Cast on a Abrams Bridge today because I liked yours.
Oh, my! I am in love with your cardigan! I just send an email for joining the test knit and hope to be lucky but if not, no problem, I will wait for the pattern to buy it. I love cardigans and since I am about to finish another one, these days I was searching for cardigans pattern and now I saw yours ❤️
Hi Claire, love the new cardigan, it's beautiful and looks like a knitted hug - so suggest 'Cwtch' - pronounced cutch, which is Hug in Welsh. A big Welsh Cwtch to you and Tilly, from the hills of Mid Wales xxx
Hi Claire What about naming your cardigan the Wigan Cardigan. Named for your hometown and the place of the yarn store collaboration.
Lovely new cardigan pattern Claire! How about “THE MEDDAL CARDIGAN” for the name? It is Welsh for “soft”. Margaret (also a Brit but in Vancouver!).
The cardi is lovely! It reminds my of a modern version of what Joan Hickson would wear in the Miss Marple Series from the 80s 🫖🥮 Maybe Joan? As a tribute to her ☺️ Cheers!
Love the cardigan and will deffo buy the pattern. Re; name... how about 'Back to Wigan Pier" you can't possibly mis-pronounce that HeHe xxx
Thanks for another great episode. Your pattern is beautiful and your pup so adorable. I also like the raglan you are wearing. Is it your own design?
Thank you for another lovely podcast . Love love your new cardigan design, it’s gorgeous well done you!!! What about Genevieve or Meredith for your cardigan beautiful Welsh names 😍
