Thanks for another great podcast and for once again doing the work of finding great patterns for us! Many years ago, I taught my college housemates how to knit during January term. To keep it interesting, quick and worthwhile, we all knit Icelandic sweaters. Thick yarn, fun design and everyone ended up with a beautiful garment appropriate for Minnesota winters. Because I started them with color work they assumed it was just normal knitting…which it is. 😂 ❤🧶

Greetings from Laval, Québec, Canada! I'm new to your podcast, but I'm convinced I'll be a repeat offender. Lovely to hear you mentionning Smilla. Got to learn about her from Selma, of Little Big Knits podcasts from Ottawa. I finished the Pressed flowers shawl four days ago and I've been wearing it everyday since it's been dry. Just looove it more than I could have imagined. I made it with Sandnes Garn Alpakka in Hunter green and with FeederBrook Farm Entropy DK in Kinetic Energy and I have some yarn leftover that I was wondering what to do with. A Pressed flowers hat it will become! Natasja Hornby is one of my favorite designers and I have tons of her pattern in my queue. Her latest was already on my radar and I'm glad you mentionned it so that the knituniverse could get to see it. The Fruity knitting podcast has an in depth interview with her that is mind blowing in all the détails it reveals about her creative process. I highly recommend it. Well, I'll stop here, or else I could go on forever about knitting... my favorite thing. Happy to have found you, Looking forward to diving in your archives for earlier épisodes. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to share your passion in such a lovely and interesting way.

I have been obsessed with the Artus shawl since she began posting about it. Upon release, I immediately purchased the pattern and got the yarn in the pattern. I did substitute the main colour for ‘nutmeg’. I cannot wait to knit this up. It is a dream knit for me and will definitely be a challenge!

This is a great podcast. I appreciate sharing your beautiful suggestions on patterns. I loved many of them. I especially love your discussion on the specifics of different yarns. That is so helpful. I have been thinking about the Celeste Sweater for awhile and now think it is a must knit. I loved the colors you choose. Hopefully you will have those listed somewhere at some point. I have no idea how you get so much knitting done. So many beautiful things to knit and so little time. All of the PetiteKnit and Natasha Hornsby patterns could be a must knit. Thanks for the inspiration Kaci!

Definitely recognize some of these patterns from our daily chats. 😉Can't wait to see how everything you're working on turns out!

Some of these patterns are lovely, thank you. It would be nice to see patterns that use long color changing skeins of yarn. Noro came out with the first ones, but there are lots of indie dyers and commercial dyers that have even 200 gr or larger skeins with really long color change.

If you like to knit socks, the patterns by Charlotte Stone (Stoneknits) have been built, per say, with a bit of a safety net. She has you increase to the next size (if you normally knit 64 you increase to 72) for the colourwork sections of the sock. I cant speak to her all over patterns yet as I haven’t knit one yet, but the fit is really nice. She talks about her design process in a recent FruityKnitting episode! Really good watch. 😄

Try a cowl knit in the round, use fairly low contrast between colors so it will be more forgiving if your stitch sizes vary. It’s low risk and that’s how I found out how much I enjoy stranded knitting. My second or third project was the amazing Scout Shawl in Kaci’s list-I am so proud of that! Give it a try. ❤

Sorry to say, but the beautiful Heirloom Cardigan is not a scrappy yarn project. Or it depends of your definition of "scrappy" ... I think, it will work out fabulous with using different colors of ONE yarn quality. And the "estonian socks" are made with a multicolored woven inlay, a kind of embroidery. I am knitting a sweater with this kind of colorwork and I am not sure, if I want this kind of technique - weaving the ends ... - for socks. I also missed magnificent (and free!) patterns like the Flagship Vest. You are doing a great job, but this time I really missed the stunning ones and the detailed information.
