    Rowan yarns are the very best - great quality and wash and wear forever. They are a great company too, trying to be sustainable and offer value for money - a medium price point but such good quality, your knitwear looks great for years.

    I think you should knit whatever you like, designed by whoever you like as a designer. No one else has the right to criticise your choices. I can't wait for The First Tee to be released!

    On the Petit Knit issue, I think you should knit what brings you joy. Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows there are other designers and I don’t think you have any responsibility to guide knitters in any direction. A quick glance through Ravelry will help someone find a different designer if they wish to. You do you, knit what you want ❤️ On my second sleeve of The Reste, by the way. A lovely pattern that I am going to be so happy with 😻

    I've just discovered your podcasts and will be working my way through them as I knit. I very much enjoyed your presentation, honesty about mental health and the thoughts on knitting for others and the costs etc. I am happy to knit for someone close if it's a gift from me, but don't want to get caught up in being asked to complete something either for a deadline, or without being paid for materials and at least some of my time. Goodness, if I charged someone per hour at even the minimum wage it would cost them a small fortune! I have seen an Etsy seller who charges from around £100 for a scarf including materials, and at least £300 for a sweater and some a lot more. I do understand the costs, but I am not sure how many people would be willing to pay it.

    Interesting comments by your viewer about Petite knit, I have never made her patterns I prefer not to make things that everyone else is making, but there are so many designers and so many patterns I don't have to. We all choose our projects and yarn. You knit what ever you want to knit and Don't worry about what anyone else thinks, I think I have knit as many Joji patterns as Truly Myrtle, love them both. I do want a vest tho.

    I think it is important to knit what you want to knit. I personally love PetiteKnit patterns because they are my style, the patterns fit really well, are beautifully designed with a polished finish, and the patterns are really well written. There is a reason her patterns are so popular. Knitting is your hobby, so just knit whatever you like.

    In sewing people like certain pattern companies over others when their base block fits them better without lots of alterations. I don't see how knitting patterns can't be the same. If you know a company, familiar with the pattern layout and they fit us well, don't try to fix what isn't broken IMO.
