I absolutely LOVE the Christmassy sweater you are wearing in this podcast. Gorgeous and the partially matching scrappy socks. I’m also working on the WYS Holly Berry colorway and mine, the orangey color is more rust color. I didn’t even consider it being orange so when you showed yours I had to go look and nope, definitely more rusty. Weird it could be that different. I agree the orange would be out of place but once finished and on, it likely won’t show up as much. Love your podcast.
Thank you!! So interesting that mine is so much more orange. Even in the pictures of the yarn on ravelry mine seems to be much more bright orange than other people's projects. But I will still finish the socks :) Thank you for watching! !
Frogging is awesome ;o) I have no issues with frogging, even big things, because if it's not worn, it's not worth keeping. Regarding red... the red in the sweater you are wearing is lovely on you!
I totally agree that finished objects that we are not happy with or just do not get worn, awesome to frog them and repurpose the yarn into something we actually like and will use. Great podcast.
Good luck with the Felix. I also knit it in the same Kelbourn Lucky Tweed but in the forest green and didn't like the way it draped and ended up frogging it. I found it too boxy. I hope to knit another Felix as it's a gorgeous pattern that's fun to knit. Happy New Year
Thank you this is good to know! The yarn definitely does not seem to have a super good drape but I love the feeling of knitting with Non Super Wash. This is my second Felix!!
I completely agree with the Joji Locatelli, patterns. Tragically I have bought several and they just sit. I really don’t understand. I know it is completely my own fault. My brain is not equipped for her patterns I made two of her Shaw patterns, but let’s just say I pretty much went my own way. Think her work is lovely.
I'm sorry you had the same experience as me!! Don't blame yourself entirely! We are not alone in struggling with her patterns but there are so many beautiful designers out there with extremely straightforward pattern writing :)
Love your review of the purple grey cardigan. I wonder if it might relax and lay better after you block this sweater? I would love to see your completed cardigan, the colors are beautiful!
Thank you!! I do plan to finish it hopefully as one of my first FOs of 2024! We will find out how it blocks, fingers crossed it looks a lot better with the magic of blocking 😂
You are so funny! I love your candor. Plus, you are giving me courage to abandon stuff I don’t like. Frogging scared me before but now, I think I can do it!! Thanks.
