Love all your projects!! I love fingering weight sweaters, living in the south they just make sense. But I just cast on a Wave of Change Jacket today and am holding 3 lace weights and 2 fingering yarns together. So much fun…love the color of yours and I think I am going to enjoy how fast this goes!!
I’m relatively new to the podcast (I hopped over from Aro’s podcast) it was great to see all of your knits. I’ll definitely be taking a look at some of the patterns for next year. I tend to get yarn from uk dyers as postage and taxes add on a lot but it’s nice seeing all the yarn you used. Happy making in 2024
I am one of those seemingly strange knitters who prefer to knit fingering weight garments - for me, since I prefer knitting with that weight yarn, they go faster because I gravitate to them and therefore work on those WIPS more often. Living in southern California, heavy sweaters don't get enough use to make them worth the knitting time anyway. All your makes are beautiful and I love listening to your opinions and experiences with them.
I don't know what you do, but all your knits look even better than the designer's sample pictures 😅 You clearly have a magic touch ✨😁 Thanks for this video and inspiration ✨
I love ALL your knits! They are all so beautiful and I have a few new patterns on my list now! I'm on a sock kick lately, and my husband's toes make this really steep slope, which the anatomical toe really helps with - otherwise there's this baggy space where the sock assumes toes should be. I highly recommend it because once you can calculate exactly where to put increases (and where not to) in order to make the perfect toe for you!
Thanks for sharing your re-cap Andrea!! Since I've watched every video of yours, I've enjoyed following the process of your makes from their "birth" as an idea to the yarn and pattern pairing to the process of knitting to the finished outcome! And now that you've had some time to wear some of them, it's nice to hear what you think of them later in terms of how they fit into your life and how much wear you get out of them or not or what you would do next time differently if you were to knit it again. Take care and talk soon friend!!~Stephanie
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I thought it would be a bit of a tedious task to make the video (and perhaps watch 😅), but it was really nice to look back and to also reflect on the makes several months later.
Beautiful sweaters!! I’d like to make a few summer tops/tees in linen blends, or cotton-y yarns. It’s difficult to choose a yarn for summer tops (online), so its nice to hear what others think about xyz yarn. Aimee Sher certainly has grabbed my attention this year, Sassy V … (hah)… not sure if I have that pattern. Anywho, I’m slowly acquiring her patterns, now to get yarn for making. Thanks for inspiration, you’ve made quite a lot this year! Little stuffies are such fun, icing on the cake!
I really enjoyed trying more linen and plant based fibers this past year! Shop La Mercerie has a great selection, which is where I got all the ones I mentioned.
I love my Slightly Sassy V in linen and already have yarn to make another (and a Moonset, and the Summer Saunter 😅). 2024 is going to be my year of more summer-weight tops/yarns.
