    You have inspired me to try the Ranunculus. I have knit tons of shawls and small items, but never a garment and this pattern has been calling me. Now I have to at least try! Thx for your enthusiasm and inspiration!

    Did you do the beautiful orange ranunculus with the bigger neck or the same?

    I just found your podcast and am so pleased I did! I have always resisted the Ranunculus (just because it is so popular) until I saw one knitted up in a particular yarn. I bought the yarn but have still been hesitant to start. I have been knitting longer than you have lived but have never made a top down garment. The way you described how you approached this knit as a new knitter was inspiring so I guess I just have to bite the bullet and try. I am still a bit concerned about fit - the body not too big (mutton dressed up as lamb) and more room in the sleeves - but guess they are hurdles to jump after I get started. Thanks again, I’ll certainly be checking out your past podcasts.

    Looking forward to your home decor episodes , a great idea 👏 I too bought a drop spindle about six months months ago. It’s been a fun process and I even used the inside of toilet tolls as temporary bobbins! I’ve been lucky enough to purchase a spinning wheel now 😊 my biggest advice from a ‘newbie ‘ is to try out the wheels first. Even though I did research. I ended up with a completely different one from what I intended to buy. Love your content.
