You definitely shouldn’t feel embarrassed by not making something you planned. I think we all have imaginations that run wild but hands that stay grounded in reality. I have a list of things I want to make and every so often, especially when I get close to the end of a project, I go back to it and reassess the order I want to make things. Maybe a gift or a need jumped in priority, or I realize I can wait on something else, or I find new inspiration, or a test deadlines changes my timelines. You’ll make it one day, one way or another. ❤

Agree with all these points and it was such a nice reminder! Our minds are busier than our hands but that doesn’t means it’s a bad thing, it just makes the process more fun 😊🙌🏼

Right!! It’s hard finding the perfect project for it because I want to do the colour justice haha

I love hearing about your knitting dreams/ideas! I don't think I ever expected you to finish all of them, haha! Don't be disappointed. Dream on!!

Ahhh such a kind reminder! Like they say that knitting and buying yarn are separate hobbies…project dreaming and knitting are definitely also separate hobbies 😂

Oooh I'm so excited to see how the Lyon dress pans out! I also love the colors you picked out for the brioche vest, that's going to be super stunning.

This dress is so cute. I had a thought about how to keep it on your shoulders when worn with a blouse (such as the button up shown) to take a small button and sew it along the shoulder seam line outside of the blouse and make a loop (or two) on the dress' shoulder seam line to secure the dress from falling off the shoulder? Hard to explain 'out loud' but, it made sense in my head!

Hello to another knitter from ztoronto👋🏻

I feel so similarly - I keep making knitting and other crafting plans but some favourite ideas just keep getting pushed for other things 😅

The knitting list is never ending! We’ll get to them one day…maybe haha

it’s perfectly fine if you have UFOs . I’ve seen other podcasters that show their UFOs and talk about the pattern construction.

Thank you! I think I’m just overthinking as I usually do with everything - knitting is such a creative process so I should consider it normal to have ufos…just have to change my mindset!
