Your vest is amazing. You are beautiful inside and out.

Beautiful! It makes me want to tackle the silk in my stash... Quick question, where did you get your spindle with the wood burned embellishments?

Great tip for sleeve stripe symmetry. I'll have to try it. And by that, I mean: I will maybe get my hands back in my knitting bag someday.

You rock!

❤❤❤❤❤

The vest is beautiful as are you!

With you on the sleeves. Mismatched sleeves and offcentre plaids, as it turns out, irritate me. I suspect if I made socks I'd feel the same about them. Doesn't have to be perfect, close is god enough, but I discovered with one of my first plaid mishaps that I'm going to regret not moving that pattern over an inch FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY. I desire symmetry, dangit. I love that cardigan. Especially how the spring easter colours wound up so autumn! I get how you'd be worried, I can't really do pastels, they make me look ill... where fall colours are a bit more saturated and work better for me, but I did discover that if I have something dark between my face and a pastel, it can work... And I think you could have changed the tone of the cardigan if you'd used a different colour for the band, the brown definitely makes it lean towards autumn, but something lighter and more springy would definitely lean it to more easter... and something like a darker green could cause it to be summery... And I suppose you could have continued the band around the bottom if you hadn't had quite enough length, and added cuffs if the sleeves were too short... Almost makes me want to learn to knit. But I have plans to try crocheting something as soon as it's cool enough that I want to be draped in warm fuzzy things. It's coming, I ALMOST want to be wearing socks right now. Almost. By the time we're below 50F at night I should be wanting socks again. I got some cotton with the pre-shirring, and made a dress out of it that was really cute, but it turns out I can't stand the feeling of it on my skin, so I took off the straps and now I bunch the shirring around my waist where my skin is protected by my shirt and underwear. I just played the linen plucking game yesterday, thanks for explaining the warp vs weft, now I know why sometimes stuff rips and sometimes it doesn't. I'm making a medieval liripipe hood for a medieval festival next weekend that I'm participating in an armoured fighting demonstration, I've been looking for something to put on my head that doesn't look absurd, then discovered that if you roll up a hood and put it on upside down, it's absurd BUT PERIOD! What a lovely find, with the manual and everything!! I've unintentially started collecting sewing machines, I'm up to 6 now but might end up with a 7th at Xmas if I rescue one 50's Singer from the in-laws' garage. I think it needs a new motor. Gonna research whether it's worth fixing or not, but it'll be a third machine with sentimental value in my herd... (the first one is the hand crank that was mom's best friend's mother's, the second was from a friend who passed away, this Singer was husband's grandmother's main machine as a seamstress). Oooh, walnuts. I need to remember to grab a bucket of black walnuts from my mom's place, though I feel like I'm going to want to combine it with onion skins to get a rich warm brown, in my experience walnuts give a greyinsh cool toned brown.

What a lovely find (free-ninety-nine is my favorite sale price) and a cpl of awesome finished projects. Gotta love that giddy feeling when something turns out well after working on it for a long time. Enjoy and thanks for the video 👍🏻

13:35 Perhaps you’re looking for the word “slubs”?

I love your tutorials, as they are so informative. However, I struggle to hear what you’re saying when the background music is playing, due to its volume. Please don’t be offended, but I thought you should be aware of this. x

Great video - that cardigan color does make me think of Autumn. What color would you dye the dress?

I had been following the journey of the fiber you dyed, and your resulting cardigan is beautiful! I actually felt less intimidated and tried out dyeing fiber (in the oven) after seeing your video. I still haven’t spun the fiber, but now I’m feeling inspired all over again! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

I just bought an Ashford traveller 3, it’s all stained up and ready to be waxed… where on the wheel do I omit the wax? Couldn’t I get a little help? Do I not wax the parts where the drive band sits? Is that avoidable at all? Where else? @jillianeve

Wow! Wow! That's awesome! The way you stepped everything out makes this seem doable! totally going to try this.

I have never made a youtube comment before, so this is a first. I love all things fiber, and when I first came across your channel about 6 months ago, I told my husband that I loved watching you not only because you knew so much, but because you were so pretty and bubbley. I must tell you that while I was having my last miscarriage, I watched your videos to get my mind off the pain and lift my spirits. I am glad that you are back and have a moderator now.❤❤

I love the sound of a great pair of scissors !

That Lutterloh system looks awesome. Loved your video, as always.

Great garments! But honestly, you are just so awesomely cute in addition to being brilliantly talented! So glad you’re back.💜

❤️❤️❤️

I love the dress! Not only because of the color, but the whole cut. Unfortunately I have no such thriftshops to find a treasure like this dress. Love the sweater too ❤

Cries in South Texas 99° 80% humidity. I love knitting I hate that sweater weather here is like 1 month at most

Evie this video is absolutely delightful!!! I love every single thing about it, especially the found sewing machine rescue. I often wonder about old machines; who used them, what did they make, and how they came to someone who loves them again. Both your dress and the cardigan are fabulous as is the videography. Thank you so very much!

It looks beautiful on you.

That turned out spectacular. I also like the brown edge. Yep, more Fall than Easter for the reason you mentioned. that sewing machine it a true prize. The only thing more prized then that type is the treadle versions. Well done.

How about putting a couple of straps back there with a buckle like the old vests used to have in the olden days

Golly, you matched the sleeves so well! And as for that free sewing machine - what a find (clever Mark seeing it and then being able to get it going so well)

great job, both the garments and the video. .... always enjoy your commentary.

Evie, you did such a wonderful job on your vest. As a weaver you handled this fabric flaw like a champ.

Love how the colors of the yarn turned out looking in the cardigan! With the brown band it's giving autumn coziness.

People are so judgemental. No-one knows another’s story or struggles and yet people feel they can just say whatever they like! You are beautiful and very talented. Keep going hun. X

I love how both of these turned out! I also like the ideas for the additions of your own weaving to the dress. Lucky find! I'm glad Mark spotted that one!

Congratulations!!!!!! I love your Cardigan.

I did Easter egg dye on some cheviot after seeing your video. It was fun. Also a great and safer way to introduce children to dying wool. It turned out great. Thankyou!

You are such a lovely human. Your videos are cozy and comfortable, like sitting down for a day of crafting with a dear friend. I am sorry to hear that you are struggling and hope that your healing journey continues going as smoothly as possible. Sending love, hugs, and all the good vibes your way. Thank you for being her and sharing your knowledge, kindness, and gentle humor with us. I love your stealth nerd vest! It's a fun idea. And your reasons for getting into pattern drafting sound very familiar. I end up making my nicer clothes for the similar reasons. I'm not sure off the rack clothing is actually designed to fit any real living human bodies particularly well. It's definitely not scaled correctly between sizes either.

The squirrel energy right at the end, "Walnuts!" lmao I relate so hard. What a lovely video too see the final product from the dyeing and weaving, long projects are so nice, they are worth the wait!

That cardigan turned out so nice and looks SO great on you!

The cardigan turned out so lovely!

So happy to see you back. Hope you are feeling better. Love the sewing machine. My husband doesn’t have much use for items that need some repair. That’s why I still have a vintage floor loom needing repair in my garage. Waiting for the Florida weather to cool down so I can work on it. Then learn to use her.

Greetings from the Texas Gulf Coast, USA. I have always admired your production quality. I am not surprised that you take 10 hours to edit your videos. Please keep up the good work.
