What a prolific knitter! I love hearing what you learned, how scraps got used, and what you’d change

❤

So inspiring to watch all of your episodes! You are so innovative! I found you via your summary of knits during 2024 the other day, but since, I am watching all of your previous recordings. Best wishes from Sweden!

You are so talented and creative. Looking forward to seeing your next projects.

I hadnt seen your channel before but as soon as I saw that bee sweater I know id seen it before. What a labor of love to replace that for your FIL, knowing it'd be a slog for you to re-do it but that you could give back something that the fire took from your family. I think most knitters know repeating a project sparks very little joy, and comes with that struggle of knowing whats ahead, like second sleeve syndrome for a whole sweater. The result is beautiful though, and that you got to apply some learned skills too? Perfection. Hope you have a wonderful new year!

I know you didn’t love it, but I think the variegated yarn was perfect with the Twill and Plain sweater! It reminds me of a Coogi sweater (in the best way)! 😊

Wow your vair sweater goes so hard

You are incredible. Those sweaters wowow

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a fearless knitter. Your projects are incredible! Beautiful knitting.

Loved watching your podcast, you are an amazing knitter! Your knits are so unique and really enjoyed seeing so many patterns from new designers that I have never heard of. I will definitely check them all out will be looking forward to watching your next podcast. Happy New Year!

wow your pieces are amazing! please consider adding a photo at the side so we can see these beautiful pieces being worn! lovely video <3

The Ingrid sweater by PetiteKnit it is not a round yoke, it is a drop shoulder pattern.

I enjoyed seeing your amazing work and hearing the details of each make! I love seeing your generosity in sharing your talents with the people in your life. Thank you!

As a new knitter, i love all of the details you share. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, and thank you for sharing about how knitting has helped you deal with grief. I found this video very encouraging and you’ve gained a follower❤️

Wow, your colorwork sweaters and those COWLS are stunning. So beautiful how you create gifts for your loved ones through hard times. Thanks for sharing!

Your projects are gorgeous!!

BRILLIANT!!! ❤❤❤

loving the music, you play beautifully🥲 and thanks for sharing your story 💗

Hiya, I know it's spelled blue-faced leicester but we just say "lester", just wanted to let you know. We spell it weird but say it simple 😅

Seems like we have a super similar taste - I also love Over the Garden Wall (recognised your outro music immediately) and T. Kingfisher. I can really recommend "Thornhedge", it's super short but such a cozy read! Thanks for the nice podcast episode!

What a lovely video! Always like your calm and positive attitude :). Thank you so much for being so careful with Covid, anyone with vulnerable family members appreciates it. For the not-spoken-for yarn scraps that were donated to you, have you considered getting one of those circular beanie knitting machines? I haven't tried them myself, but heard that it's a good way to use up scraps because you can crank out soooo many hats in a day (and then potentially donate them). It must be frustrating to get given yarn you don't actually like that much when you're trying to keep your stash small! For the really small acrylic scraps, you could even consider making Preemie Octopus patterns and donating them to a hospital?

omg rip honeybee sweater 😢 so glad everyone’s ok. looking forward to seeing the new and improved version! 🐝

I am INSPIRED !! I’m a beginner - only made some hats so far. Can’t wait to learn to knit more ^_^ thanks for the podcasts

Sorry for your loss. Your knits are beautiful

Hello ..just wanted to say your knitting skills are incredible ❤❤❤❤

Your knitting is beautiful! Losing a baby at any stage is heartbreaking, I too came home from the hospital with empty arms . My first son, Beau, died of a rare kidney disorder 45 years ago. I was happy to see you have made a blanket for your daughter, a very healthy way to cope with grief and process a loss. Just to forget and go on was our advice 45 years ago, it was just last year that a counselor suggested making a blanket in Beau’s memory. I am crocheting a large lap afghan for myself to help process things, it has helped immeasurably. I wish for you a healthy baby, I went on to have two. Bless you and your husband.

❤️

I watched all 3 of your videos today and felt like I was along for the ride. Nicely done!

You are such a thoughtful, generous knitter! I love the bee sweater and the throm mittens. I am so so sorry for the loss of your baby girl. You are the sweetest for pumping and donating your breastmilk. Such a selfless gift to another family.

Really nice video, Marisa, I think we all know the "I definitely can get this and this and this done by Christmas.... oh no" pipeline :). Gorgeous sweater for your father-in-law! Also, really appreciate the honest tone of your videos, it's refreshing to hear someone say "I actually didn't enjoy the process of knitting this".

I find the fit of a slip stitch heel flap and gusset is better than the short row heels or one's designed to look store-bought, so for gift knitting that's what I always stick to 😀

Before the pandemic, I knit socks like it was my job. Probably have knit more than 100 pairs. I knit two lengths - for myself I knit socks about 1" higher than my Blundstone boots - my shoes of choice for Minnesota 9+ months out of the year; and than for my mom I knit socks higher up the calf, she likes them that way. She has much smaller feet than I do, so I can knit two pairs of socks from one 100g skein and one or two 20g minis. I almost exclusively knit my socks with contrast toes, heels and cuffs (I knit two at a time, toe up, for much the same reason you talked about when discussing your FiL's sleeves). Really love the thought surrounding the snowblowing hood as well. And now I want huge noise cancelling headphones for when I am out there!

Wow, wow, wow. That bee sweater for your FiL is amazing! I would love to see a video clip of his reaction to this spectacular work!

Fluff from the Knitter may be a good sub for the fiber for the Thrums. A few more dollars for fewer tears. 😅

The multicoloured socks are adorable!!!🥰🥰🥰

It's really awesome authentic and generous. Look forward to your next one❤

Marisa, Sorry for your loss. Enjoyed your video and seeing that you are very talented. Our crafts can be a very comforting therapy. I look forward to future videos. ❤

Marisa, you are such a sweet delight! You are so creative and thoughtful with your gifts. I hope you will continue making videos to update us on your projects, I'm looking forward to your next one.💐

Hi Marisa, congrats on your first video🎉! It’s really inspiring to see all your beautiful projects and I am so happy that you also enjoyed my video! Looking forward to your future projects and videos!!❤

Wow, the bee sweater is amazing! If you decide to do any colour work, I think beehives wold look great, but just a colourful ribbing would be fun too.

Sending you so much love.. your baby girl is forever with you..

That bee sweater is fantastic! If it was me, I'd not do any more colour work, and then go for a colourful rub to finish off the body. Otherwise little beehives sound like a cute addition.

Thank you for sharing your story. Love the projects you showed!

Your knitting projects are beautiful! Hoping 2024 is filled with an abundance of all good things for you.

Oh, Marisa, listening to the beginning of the video I cried, I wish I could hug you, you are a beautiful soul❤
