I was looking for the Brighton Beanie and can’t find the pattern. If I type it in, it shows hats with all kinds of textures, not just all knitting. Thanks! Really like your podcast.

longer hat......Slouchy

What I did to my mit thumbs was knit it long enough to cover, but didn’t close it up. I bound it off loosely. I can push it up over my knuckle if I need to use my thumb, but leave it covered most of the time.🤷‍♀️

I love how German words occasionally slip into your speech. It reminds me of my high school friend's family. I took German in school, so most of the time I didn't even notice when they did it, but most of our friends got a bit confused because they more excited they got, the more their speech turned into "Germlish". I love your handspun and the cute scarf for your daughter!

Oh I’ll have to check out that book. Have you read any good rom-coms this month? Always looking for book ideas:)

Hello hello! I was very happy when I saw the title of this episode. I felt it going to be a soothing video, and it was, which I am grateful for. Thank you for sharing your approach towards the stash management - my intentions are similar, not to buy anything before I use like 90% of what I already have! But, being a project manager, I do plan my knits throughout the year - in 2024 it was very helpful in organising my work/hobby of knitting. So, I intend on repeating the yearly roadmap of my knits :) Cannot wait to see your projects, all the best in the New Year, and until the next time!

I do my stockinette with the kids during knitting group:)

Yes agree slowing down and embracing the project you are working on feels so rewarding. My goal is also to finish all the projects I have acquired and use up stash. I also don’t like having overwhelming amounts of projects in my queue. Thank you for sharing your journey of learning

Hi Becca! So last year my intention was to learn colour work too and I got Anna's book as a Xmas present. So far, I've made some mittens, a hot water bottle, both from Anna's this year's advent calendar. I also turned the Bowfell jumper into a dress. I actually added short rows after splitting for sleeves which I learned to do with the Love Number sweater by Lily Kate France. To be honest, in hindsight I shouldn't have done it as I have a short torso and it's made the back a little too long for a dress. However, for a sweater it works really well. In fact, they go round the front and they look like darts. I also had the intention to learn to knit socks and I made 13 pairs! This year I want to knit and sew through my stash. I want to pattern test a knit and I'd like to get back to X stitch and embroidery 😊

Just a lovely thoughtful video! I love the intentionality behind your knitting and sewing goals - such a big yes to using up scraps for quilting, that is one of my goals for this year too. The little sheep on your project bag, eee! xx

I bet, just based on these podcasts, we would be friends.my goal is to by som sheep, process, dye and spin their wool to weave cloth to make a garment 😂😂😂 which I’m sure will only take days seriously, I have to force myself to slow down as well. I’m getting better about frogging and tearing out stitches. Enjoy!

I have just the same queue in my Ravelry - we are really in sync with our views of stash and projects. For your quilting, it's not a quilting foot that you need but a walking foot. A walking foot has feed dogs for the top layer that work with the bottom layer and makes such a difference. I love quilting too - it's such fun to play with colour and shape x

What pattern did you use for your very cute project bag, i am also learning to sew that type of quilt star, i think it called the sawtooth star.😊

It looks like a great year to me! You should be proud and excited! I bought a drop spindle and some roving 😊

Your makes are absolutely gorgeous! I'm going to have to add some of these patterns to my list to make someday! Thanks again for sharing your creativity with us!

I have knit about 200 pairs of socks, and I actually LOVE DK weight socks. I live in Washington State, and I can wear them for half the year, at least. They're squishy, warm, and not overly bulky. They're perfect in clogs or boots. And they're quick to knit! On a weekend I can finish a pair in 3 days. 😊

I found 'A short history of the world according to sheep' - quite fascinating and well written, easy to digest chapters. Not knitting specific, but a good background. Unraveling is in my queue, i think you just bumped it higher.

Hi Becca. It was so nice to sit and knit while you shared your 2024 projects. You’ve accomplished and learned so much! Thanks for sharing. 😊

Merry Christmas to you and your family Becca! I love your colour palette, and man am I tempted to cast on the Marieke sweater now! You have made such a beautiful garment. I remember you talking about the Holly sweater in a previous video and how you liked the short row shaping on the neckline and under the arms: did the Marieke incorporate these elements, and if not, if you could go back in time and reknit this sweater, would you incorporate the KFO shortrow shaping? Thank you for your cosy vlogmas videos this year xx

I was thinking about your question of when to stop wearing your cheery holly sweater. I think you should continue to wear it for as long as it's bringing you joy. Holly after all is a gorgeous plant that grows in nature year round!

Great video! You are the sweetest! LOVED seeing your beautiful family in your wonderful Christmas sweaters!!! Thank you and congratulations for your fabulous year of makes!

Just curious, and you don’t need to answer, not trying to be too personal, but I was wondering how tall you are. I like the style of the sweaters you are wearing, but I am a very short adult woman. Thanks

thank you for sharing your inspirations, some projects were very beautiful indeed!

OMGoodness, you have totally inspired me with all of these cute ornaments. I will happily knit up these with you. This year I made a few December Bows by PetiteKnit and absolutely LOVE them. I have one for the top of my tree and some for garland sprays inside over windows. I’m excited to add some of these you’ve shared to my tree as well. Thank you SO much for sharing and inspiring. Oh, and I agree on the Red Robin colorway, it’s perfection! My tree is tones of white and green but as soft as that red is if I used it just right would be a beautiful addition. I’m off to save all of these patterns to my Ravelry favorites. 😁

Such cute ornaments! Ideas for me for next Christmas 🎄

Shucks now I want to knit everyone Christmas socks!

Hi, I can’t seem to find the sweet miniature sock pattern, can you help please ?😊

❤ you 🏠 mural, a great idea, and very festive! 🎄

What is the name of your beautiful sweater you are wearing? Thank you for sharing all the beautiful sock patterns! I am on my 85th sock but none are color work! I’m scared to! Maybe these will give me the push I need! Happy Holidays!

I knit the holly and ivy socks by Charlotte Stone. I think I am done with all over colour wotk socks. I need heel flap and gusset heels. All others are too tight on my foot. I will just convert m6 favoutite socks to color work on leg only. Others on my radar: christmas eve skies, Summer Lee; waiting for snowfall, snowflake dreams, gingerbread latte, by Julie Ann Lebouthillier; scrimshaw socks, scandiland socks, b6 Summer Lee.

Love all your recommendations - especially the full gingerbread house socks - those look amazing! 2 that are on my list are the Pixie Dust socks and Meet Me in the Pines - both with colorwork cuffs, and both by Corinne Hawari.

I've really been enjoying your videos- found you a few weeks ago! Thanks for enabling me with more sock colourwork patterns for next Christmas 😊 Another one you might enjoy is the Trim the Tree socks by MeshyFrazz Knits. They will be my Christmas Eve cast on this year🎄

I always have a pair of socks on the needles, but I haven't tried color work socks yet. Love, love, love the Christmas socks! I think I'll have to start a Christmas tradition and make myself a new pair of Christmas socks every year! I also love your Christmas sweater. Thanks for the Christmas sock list. I saved it.

Thank you for another sweet video. You're really spreading the Christmas spirit with your charming sweaters! I love them! Your family is so lucky to have you!!! I don't currently have a Christmas sweater so I appreciate the ideas you shared for sprucing up an everyday sweater. Yay!

I find you to be lovely and your aesthetic classically pretty. It tickles me that you ride your bike to work. I walked/biked to work in the 1990’s. It was so good for releasing stress before and after work. Transitions are important to me😁.💗💗

What a nice idea. There are so many people doing daily videos it can be a little overwhelming 😅 I've really enjoyed yours and those jumpers are really nice 😊 Edited to add: Instead of making a knot with the mohair, I use the loop to retain the thread. If you pull the thread through the loop it won't come out. This way it avoids adding the extra bulk of the knot. I hope this makes sense.

Maybe I'm biased, because I am currently obsessing over that pattern for myself, but that colorful plaid fabric would be perfect for the JASMIN Dress from meandkiddopatterns.

I’m just finishing a Fjolla sweater in chocolate brown Semilla!

Hi, love the colors of all the yarns you showed in this podcast!!! I’m also interested in the hat pattern and one of the sock patterns. I think all the colors you’re choosing will look lovely on you. Thank you for sharing 😊

O my! When you held the chocolate brown to your face, your face suddenly glowed!!! How interesting!

So neat to hear that someone else dresses in seasonal colours too. I love how it ensures I wear a variety of my handknits

Way too many commercials

Hi Becca, I want also knit the field Sweater. So for secure I save the youtube explain. Thank you. I like how you use "naja" 😊 Thank you for the informative Video❤

Congrats!🎉 You did great!

Hi Bekah! Thank you for your podcasts! It's so awesome that you knitted Christmas sweaters for your whole family! I'd love to do that too sometime. I'm also an American living in Germany. Wolfsburg to be exact. 😊

Hi Becca. This was such a fun episode to watch. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. I just recently discovered you when you were posting from the states and I’m so happy to have found you. I think you did pretty good with your make 9. I hope you’re pleased with yourself too. Looking forward to your next video my friend. 😊

Hi! Really enjoyed your video! Your field sweater is lovely but makes me concerned about the pattern as I was planning to knit field mittens. Maybe I will check the video you mentioned! Thank you!

Hi all your knits are lovely, have you tried going down a needle size when knitting your colourwork socks . My colourwork knitting when on small circumference is looser so I never change my needle size or I just knit on a 2mm needle instead of 2.25mm 😊

Hello from Sweden 😊 Love the field sweater! What sock pattern did you say you used for your husbands birthday socks?

I am a new subscriber. It is really hard to hear you. If you're serious about youTube I think you should get a new phone please!
