thank you so much Patricia ! That's good to hear :)

There’s an expression used by callers who respond to radio broadcasts that fits me: “Long time listener; first time caller.” I’ve been a subscriber since your 1st episode, but I know keeping up with your many responses on all the platforms can be overwhelming and take away from your knitting time. (Ironic much? 😉) I appreciate all the many details you provide in all aspects. Knitters are often reluctant to comment on pattern errors and designer writing styles for fear of alienating some, but your honesty is really helpful. For what it’s worth, the way you express yourself is a great balance of useful truth in a non-offensive manner. I love the inside-out approach to the Fisherman’s Rib (half?) sweater. I can’t wait to see how you tackle the sleeves. You shouldn’t have a problem. You might have even stumbled on your first design. 🤔😉 I’m sure you’ve thought of this, but is there any reason why you can’t alternate skeins for your helical knitting when you’re close to the end of one skein instead of alternating throughout the entire sweater? For example, start alternating when you’ve used up maybe 2/3 or 3/4 of one skein. Maybe the blend is not as cohesive as using 2 full skeins throughout. Just wondering. And if you ever decide to film a tutorial of your helical process, I’d love to see it. All the videos seem to be about making stripes and avoiding jogs, and while I understand the concept, I can’t quite knit mine smoothly. Meanwhile … keep having fun and knit to please yourself. No rush. We’ll be here … for Autumn knits … and Winter knits. Cheers for now. Thanks for the help, info and inspiration. Terry (aka Tadpoletroll on Ravelry) 🥰

Thank you so much for this comment Terry, it really made my whole week !! So so nice to hear all that. And good point about alternating skeins, in my case I was worried the background colour of the whole skein lookes a shade darker in one of them, and was worried even if i faded, i'd get a gradient, which i didnt want ! I wanted a "solid" colour aha. I might record something on helical knitting as I learn more about it ! Have a wonderful weekend ♥

You make a lot! I am just doing the sleeve on my field day cardigan by Ozetta, and am loving it, and will make another, ad I think it is so great that the button band is knit concurrently with the body,so smart, as I really do not like picking up stitches!

It’s a relief to know that I’m not the only person who have certain feelings about something, such as the writing style of Jessie Mead’s pattern. (Loving her designs very much nonetheless!) As a knitting podcast consumer, I always love to know more about the potential caveats of any patterns so that I get a heads-up; but for a podcaster I can imagine it’s more difficult to say not-so-ideal things about a pattern than to compliment it. So really appreciate your effort in this and really like the balance you have in this aspect. Can’t wait for your new videos!

Thank you for saying that, yes it can be tricky to find a balance between honest and just complaining about everything for the sake of complaining, without realising the impact this can have on people ! I certainly don't want to make anyone feel bad. But I also crave honest reviews so if I can provide them, I will ! Sometimes it's subjective (like how wordy Jessie Maed's patterns are), sometimes it can be objective (like if a yarn keeps breaking or the dye running), so I'll also make sure to specify things that are my opinion only!

🌴☀️ Hello again. That knitting bag reminds me of The Green Bean podcast…she does many crafts including knitting, but one is drawing. She sketched like two pages of all the different breeds of sheep in Europe and they were actually published in a knitting publication in your neck of the woods. I love love love her podcast, so very tranquil. Anyhow I wanted to add my two cents about something you mentioned. You are not all over the place, this isn’t HBO or some network talk show🤭, this is more intimate, more of substance & with an audience that isn’t viewing by mistake. If you change a thing in this regard it would not be authentic which, I believe, is your “intention” and I thoroughly enjoy it and have suscribed to it. Perhaps if your goal was to run your channel like a “business” model then I understand your point of view but not in this case. This channel vibe is peaceful, it is my therapy of sorts & it’s a safe place to get cozy with my hooks/needles. AND I HAVE SO MUCH GRATITUDE🌷 keep being you xoxo☀️🌴

Thank you!! Very very good points about this not being a talk show or a business. It's just me, in my room, talking about yarn ! So I will keep that in mind and not set the standards to be that of a professional production aha. Thanks for the kind words !

I'm hoping to make the Moonset slipover this winter, too. Would be in for a mini KAL if you're up to it

I feel the same way about 2 at a time socks! I’m much faster doing them one at a time!

glad im not alone !!

Lovely video, as always! It was not messy at all. I am very impressed with all your progresses! Is alpaca not prickly for you? I tried it once. I knit a whole cardigan on 3mm needles with Drops Alpaca... only to realize after it was done that it was too scratchy, even with long sleeves. Bummer. I wonder if it depends on the type of alpaca. Oh et la coiffure 😍WOW, j'adore !!!!

Hello! Thank you so much for the reassurance. We are our own's worst critics, aren't we. And no, I quite like alpaca and it doesn't itch too much, except one sweater in drops nepal, at the neck a little bit, but thankfully i had added short rows so after it gets to body temperature, it's fine! But yeah we all react differently ! Et merci beaucoup! C'est un gros changement mais pas la premiere fois que je fais ca, donc moins peur aha !

Thank you for keeping me company while knitting. Love your podcast!

Thanks for watching!

Just started watching your videos but already can tell they'll be so nice to craft along to! I just moved to scotland (fife area) and would love if you have any local (or semi-local) tips of places to shop/check for sales/etc! There's no yarn stores right near me and I am definitely missing them!

Aw thanks, and welcome aboard ! I'd recommend a local podcaster to you, MadebyJo, she is lovely!! And as far as i know, the woolly brew is in fife, but if you dont mind shopping online, then there are a ton with amazing brands from afar !

For slippery yarn wooden or bamboo needles might help😊🧶🧶🧶

yes good point!

To knit 2 at a time wind a separate small ball of yarn it is much more easier

good point ! i was trying to be clever and not have to estimate how much yarn i would need and just knit til the end !

Try skpo in place of ssk ... skpo is neater. Happy knitting :)

@@traceyh3675 oh fantastic ! Enjoy ! It's my most worn item this year!

When you ssk, do you slip the first knitwise and the second purlwise? That works for me, with also knitting through the loop the next round.

Yeah I have been doing that as of late ! I'll keep trying little changes every time until I settle for one I am happy with :P

Don't cut it, do duplicate stitch. I tried that on a piece last year and it looked totally perfect, and no danger of loose ends working out or other complications.
