Welcome to I’ll Knit (& Spin!) If I want To! I asked y’all to send in some of your questions (from everything from fiber arts, to designing and on!) so I could put together a little video for y’all every Friday doing my best to answer your questions!

In this week’s episode we cover:
1. Are you ever like... this is a lot of sweaters for one person? No judgment just personally realizing my love of knitting sweaters is soon going to outpace my reasonable sweater-wearing capacity!
2. Lifted Increases: Hello there, I hope my question is a quickie! I came across a pattern that called for “Lifted Increases”(LLI and RLI). Can these be used interchangeably with M1L and M1R? Do you have a preference? Why would you use one or the other? Sorry, I thought it was a quickie.
3. Hi Andrea, I LOVE your designs! I discovered you through a friend who was knitting The Weekender, and seeing her in action re-ignited my love of knitting. Now after 10+ years away from it, I am embarking on my first Weekender sweater (and to be honest, my first sweater ever). It's been a fun way to dive back in and push beyond scarves & hats, plus warm up my fingers because... Your Tesselate Pullover is THE sweater turning me into a knitter! I am in love with it. But I'm also aware it's beyond my present skill level. So my question to you is this: what cowl or hat pattern would you recommend to an ambitious novice/beginner knitter to learn the skills necessary for the Tessellate? Should I knit The Shift cowl? Or is there something else you'd recommend? Apologies if you've tackled this question before.

4. I just finished knitting a rather epic cardigan, about knee length. How does one best approach blocking so much sweater? Where do you start? Where do you put the first pins? My mats do not have a grid so I am at the mercy of my tape measurer and wide clear plastic quilter’s rule. After a bit of a struggle, I think it is fine but I would appreciate your thoughts.
5 .Hi Andrea! I'm planning to knit your Evenfall sweater and having some trouble choosing colors. Can you explain a bit about choosing colors for 3-colored projects? Thanks alot!!
Today I am wearing Evenfall
