Hello Doris! I'm so happy I found your diaries :-) I'm working on my Snow Crocus as we speak, and your tips were so helpful. The alphabet stitch markers are genius for something like this! I'll admit, I was intimidated by the pattern at first. I even tried to find a similar pattern that was seemed less complicated. But I just loved the sweater so much, and had recently taught myself to cable without a cable needle (an essential skill, IMO!), so dove right in. I did take the time to read the pattern all the way through to understand the work flow (it's a little different than typical top-down sweaters). I'm also planning to modify the sleeves - my arms aren't long enough to carry the big cuff, so the balloon part will hit around my elbow! Instead, I'm planning to work the balloon part right above my wrist, and then just an inch or so of ribbing (inspired by the sleeves on Andrea Mowry's Framed sweater). I did do the folded collar and just love the structure. I'm using Camellia Fiber Som DK (a blend of baby alpaca, cotton, and merino; supersoft and light!) held with La Bien Aimee Volute (laceweight cashmere and merino), both in a creamy white. After seeing your lavender version , I'm thinking I must do another in that color :-) Looking forward to your next update!

Hi Doris, your knitting and bags are exquisite! Can't wait to see your progress in 2 weeks!

Hi Doris, glad to see that someone as talented as you still has to frog once in a while.😊 You got a lot of projects done, that’s great. Bring the sweaters with you when you come to visit, it’s still cool in Maine.

Lovely to see you again. It's been over 100 F in my garden over the last 2 days so I've been sheltering indoors knitting. My daughter and her friend are expecting babies within 2 weeks of each other early next year so baby clothes are on my needles x

Hi Doris! Hurray for another episode! I was so excited when I saw it pop up in my subscribe feed. Love your Snowcrocus! What a beautiful lavender color. So detailed, amazing! It is going to be beautiful on you. I love your Liberty of London fabric. Wow, you are so talented. Both bags are stunning. Good job. I am looking forward to the sweater on your needles to be finished. It is pretty too. 2 weeks...yes!!! Love you sweet friend! Keep creating. You are so talented. ❤

Beautiful !! Love the nails too 😉 ❤

Love the hair ❤

Lovely video, Thanks for the tips. Fel confident to knit it. Yours is coming out gorgeous

Hey friend! Love the socks and your lavender snow crocus! Looks beautiful. Tips will be so helpful to those who dive in! Great podcast!!!

Hi Doris, love the socks! What happy colors! And the Snow Crocus is looking great! What a beautiful color. Your tips seem very helpful, and make the pattern seem less daunting. Happy knitting!

That is awesome, can’t believe you got that much done in a week! Great idea with the stitch markers. Miss you, hope to see you soon.

Wow, thanks for the shout-out. Hayley Slipover finished. Your sweater is beautiful. I'm currently working on the Garden Fence socks by Nancy Wheeler of "Knit Sip Happy" podcast and trying to finish up a smallish cross-stitch that has been languishing for a couple of years

Love watching your dairies.😊

You have so many projects! Very talented. Give Lilly a hug for me.

miss you 💗

te amo tiis

Kinnytinina, love ur channel, as other person said, you are so talented!!! Love ur channel ❤

Hi Doris I love your projects... I find peace and Tranquility watching your show I enjoy every bit of it . I look forward to seeing more of your episodes.

Hello Doris! Just discovered your channel and WOW! you are a talented lady! I've been enthralled with making socks and would like to expand my knitting patterns to do colorwork; love your fair isle socks! Yours are beautiful! I've made a pair of vanilla socks for my six sisters and husband through the pandemic and I need a little break from gift knitting. I am casting on the "Air Tee" with a cotton yarn for myself. I have plans to make linen tops and dresses for myself this spring/summer. We moved to the beach on the East Coast four years ago so my wardrobe and lifestyle is very casual. Take care.

Great episode Doris! Love the sweater. That blue is stunning! Sally and Mike must be thrilled with the quilt. What a special gift!

Hi Doris, good to see you again. I have completed lots of projects so far this year. They're all listed on my Ravelry project page "needlesnifty". I'm currently working on the Hayley Slipover which is a makealong for the East Anglian Yarn Festival here in the UK which I'm hoping to attend in March.

Dropping by to say hi. ❤

You have so many projects, how do you find the time? Everything you make is awesome!

Hi Doris, your shawl is beautiful! It looks like one of Monet’s waterlily paintings. The colors are perfect. Really enjoyed your intro music! Love the color work socks and quilting too! My highlight of the Summer was exploring the midcoast of Maine, but love the Autumn the most!

Hi Doris!! Enjoying your new episode!! Your shawl is beautiful on you and on Lilly! Socks are so pretty. I've nor heard of that yarn, but now want to try it. It is affordable!! So many colors too! Oh that box...I need a trip to Lancaster! (I love Pennsylvania). We haven't been for awhile, but would love to go to Sight and Dound theater. Your fabric pieces are lovely. So pretty Doris!! Miss you. Kimmie

Love your color work socks! Any tips on how to knit repeats in color work?

Hi Lilly!

Omg obsessed 😍

wowwww so pretty todo and liliiii

Love your work amazing work can't wait to see the final project❤

I'm so happy you posted! I love your projects and I especially love your energy!

Doris!!!! Loved all of this. You are not only beautiful, but so multi-talented. Wow. Your socks are sweet. Your quilt, oh I love it. Hugs and kisses are so fabulous. Your skill is really amazing. The handmade animals belonging to your uncle and dad are priceless. I am glad you are cherishing them. That picture you made your aunt, that came back to you- wow! I never heard of that before. Your embroidery is beautiful. I used to embroider, but not very well. I did a lot of bleeding 😂. Loved chatty Lilly. So darling. Thanks for pressing through...i am so blessed. ❤

Hi Doris! Great seeing you again! Lillie is adorable! Your quilt is gorgeous.

Have missed you. Lovely projects as always. Most of my projects are on my Ravelry page, needlesnifty. I'm currently working on 3 projects, The Beekeeper Quilt which will be ongoing till the end of the year, a jumper by Martin Storey using up stash yarn and also a crazy crochet granny cardigan using up more scrap yarn. Hoping to finish the jumper and cardigan by the end of August xx

Love that your socks have different colors for the heel and toe. I’m so glad you posted, miss you.

So glad to see you back! All your projects are beautiful and exude happiness! XOXOXO

So pretty!!

I met you today at Maryland Sheep & Wool. Looking forward to the next episode.

'promosm' 😌

Very nice. Have you ever thought of doing a sweater with matching socks?

Just perfect!

The socks are pretty, too. Love the color combination. Hot pink is my new favorite color! Did TAAT socks once, yup not for me. It took me 2 years to finish. I prefer chiaogoo 9" circulars, one at a time. I find magic loop a pain with all the cord yanking. Lol, we all like our knitting certain ways, right?!

Very peaceful intro. So soothing to the soul. Your sweater colors are perfect! So pretty on you, Doris!

Sweater and socks look awesome, well done. I'm looking forward to getting in my garden soon, lots of weeding needed before I can plant up my veggie seeds.

Love your Magnolia, such a great color for you, and it really looks beautiful on you too. Love the colors for your Icelandic cardigan. Pretty. Would love a tutorial on your sleeves (cuff/tubular). I've never tried it before. Looks so nice. Thank you. Wish you lived close so you could mentor me in knitting( and maybe sewing). Lovely sitting with you tonight. 😃

Hi Doris! Great episode! The magnolia sweater is beautiful. Great job! I will try your tip about adding to your Ravelry library. I only have a few knitiing magazines so shouldn’t take long. I love your color choices and pattern for the fair isle. I think that a little pop of the darker pink in the powder blue would be really striking.

The sweater looks great! Lilly was very chatty this episode. Stay warm.

Hi Doris, Popping in quick, glad you posted a new video! Love you, sweet friend. Hope you are doing well.

The Magnolia Bloom looks lovely on you. I'm not a fan of knitting bobbles but they look great. So pleased to see a video from you this morning xx

The sweater looks great! When you make something difficult look easy, it’s the sign of a professional. Loving my socks, my feet can’t thank you enough.🧦👍
