Oh yes! I’d love to win that beautiful holiday bag and striped yarn! Thanks always Mandy for your informative videos. I learn a lot from you and also get some inspiration. Here’s hoping that you are pain free very soon.

Happy New Year! I'm catching up a bit late 😏 The East or West is beautiful and I couldn't see the colour run 🔭 Asking my favourite colour is like asking me to pick a favourite child lol! To wear though, black, grey, green, bright pink, are probably my top choices. Today. Tomorrow, who knows! 😂 xx

Hi Mandy thanks so much! I’ve messaged you. Great makes and what a cute bag. Hope you’re feeling ok xx

Happy New Year! Thank you for showing the baseline cardigan again - because of you I'm going to knit it this year too. I follow sosuknits of course, as she is one of the few Austrian designers - but it hasn't really appealed to me so far. Your colorful striped version was the first to really tempt me. I wish you a pain-free new year from the bottom of my heart! I've had arthritis for decades and had several tumor operations on my knee, so I know that every pain-free day is something to appreciate and be happy about! 🫶🏻 I'm looking forward to your next episodes and wish everyone a great year!🎉

You and your stripes! If you don’t say anything your sweater looks great. I also don’t mind about the color running, and wear my scarves that have runned. Here’s to a happy healthy new year!

How generous of you. I would love the bag as well as the yarn,it would be great for next year.

Ooh love the bag! I love your Eastor West and who cares if it bleeds, just makes it extra unique.

Re: Perfecting finishing: I'm making a blanket with left overs of my 2023 advent on my knitting machine. What I am doing is knitting them in 40 stitch strips about 30 inches long and then mattress seaming them. And its giving me a lot of practice on perfecting my mattress stitching. I think I need to do some research on weaving in ends in a way where the ends don't poke out though. I'm weaving in trillions (it feels like) of ends on my Daft Days Cardigan, especially since splitting for front and back because now it's 6 ends every 4 rows, and I'm noticing that my inside edges have all these fluffy little 0.5 cm ends poking out. I am getting faster at weaving in after weaving in almost 100 ends so far though.

Thank you for another great podcast.

Love the emotional support chicken in the background, those colors are great

I would definitely still wear that sweater as it’s still a wearable item. The Christmas yarn would be perfect for Christmas in July!

I love that bag, I don’t care if it is Christmas. I do Imagine Landscape’s kal in December. The bag will be perfect to use for that. Have a happy new year.

Happy New Year❤My first watch of 2025! Thank you so much for all your generosity and inspiration last year❤Hope you and your family have a peaceful and bountiful new year❤

Happy new years

Happy New Year Mandy! Your knitting goals are inspiring. I plan to work on a few sweaters and socks for the coming year. Thank you for all of your generosity over the year!

Ooo... the sock yarn in your physical prize giveaway is just my colours, and ghe bag is adorable! I don't think anyone would even notice the yarn bled in your sweater that you are wearing. It has the illusion of a tonal yarn. Lol I dreamed last night that I knit several Musselboroughs and they were all way too big. I'd forgotten about it until I saw yours. I've never even knit one. I've made the Friend to Friend as a gift knit for one of my friends and it was a really fun, quick knit. My friend loved it and I have yarn to make one for myself.

I love gnomes so much! And I’ve really been thinking about making some Christmas socks for myself. I love reds, pinks, and grays, really all colors. ❤❤

Happy New Year! I think this is going to be the year of the sock for me. I’m still looking for the perfect sweater pattern to make myself a sweater.

Thanks for another lovely episode, and Happy New Year ! I'm sorry to hear you're still in pain, wishing the new year will be gentler with you. If you wouldn't have mentioned the colourbleeding, I'd not have noticed of course. You can only tell if you know the original colours, so I just see a nice sweater :) What a marvellous idea, to use that sock pattern for sleeves ! It will make such a fun sweater/cardigan 🤩 ! I might want to keep that idea in mind.. You Susan Sommer cardigan looks lovely. And as it is striped anyway, the grafting isn't really noticable. I love your plans for the coming year. As for finishing garments; I've always thought about it as 'practice makes perfect' ... but of course one knits more than one finishes... What a lovely and generous giveaway ! ( no yarn for me though )

Happy New Year to you and your lovely family. I love your sweater 😍 gorgeous sock yarn ❤

Very happy new year Mandy to you and your family - love your channel and really really admire all your knitting xxxx 💚😺🍃✨🐬🎄

Happy new year!!

Glad you're feeling better, pain days suck

All you makes look lovely and happy new year 🎉

Happy new year, Mandy! I don't think the color bleed is very noticeable on your sweater and it's otherwise so beautiful that I'd wear it too! What video games are you playing with your daughter? I got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and am obsessed with Zelda: Link's Awakening. I played the original Zelda when it came out in the '90s and love it!

Happy New Year! I'm glad to see Susanne Sommer pop up again - she's from my home country Austria... All the best to you and your loved ones 🖤

Thank you for a lovely episode. I did my first brioche pattern and just finished the briochealicious shawl by Andrea Mowry it was really fun, I haven’t quite figured out how to fix messed up stitches but I loved knitting it.

That yarn and bag set are adorable! Happy 2025! May your new year be filled with health, wealth, and love! 💕💕💕

Happy New year! You've got great knitting plans Mandy. I'm pretty New to color work and really really not good at it. If you have any tips on color work let us know.

Happy New Year 🎉🎉! I love your podcasts. And thank you for such a great give away. I'm always looking for Christmas socks yarn. My goal is to have 25 pairs of Christmas socks. One for each day of advent.

Happy New Year !!! Take a look at Getting Warmer by Espace Tricot. It is knit in bulky on US #10. I knit it in the past and love it.

Hi Mandy. I so recommend you try the plumped up cowl by Andrea Mowrey. It uses the bulky yarn (called for spin cycle) I made one in just one day. I used some of my handspun and some cascade eco. It is a great and quick brioche project and it is amazing to wear.

Happy 2025, Mandy! What a beautiful gnome-y holiday set! Thank you for offering that😃 The top you are wearing is lovely, and i can't really see the bleeding, even on the large tv, until you hold it close & point it out. Xx

Happy New Year, Mandy! I have really enjoyed hearing about your knitting this year on your podcast. Thank you for sharing your making here. Your Baseline cardigan looks fantastic, what a fun cardigan that will be.

The algorithm showed this video to me, and I am so glad it did! Can’t wait to get caught up on your crafty journey! 💕💕💕

Love your podcast!!! Hope you get some relief from the pain! Prayers coming your way!

Hope your pain has receded and best wishes for the new year x

Merry Christmas! Hopefully you will get some relief soon.

Happy Christmas, Mandy! May the nerve pain be controlled soon! Sending you love and hugs xx Susan

I hope you feel better, take care and enjoy the holidays, my best wishes to you and your family. Have you tried holst coast yarn it's in between supersoft and tides in terms of softness and has more color options then tides

I hope your pain gets better soon, and I hope you all have a lovely Christmas 🎄

Mandy you’re amazing selecting such colorwork sweaters. Sorry for your pain, hope you feel better soon and may your holidays be better, brighter, warmer.

I’m sorry you’re having nerve pain, Mandy. Hopefully it’s cleared up so you can enjoy the holiday with your family pain free. That new bag is adorable! Have a very merry Christmas!

Big ups for putting up a lovely episode whilst in pain . I do hope, that by the time you read this, the pain will have worn off. That was quite some ripping out you've done... but I can see what you mean, and the baseline cardigan will look lovely when finished ! As will that musselburgh - what a gorgeous gradient yarn ! Wishing you and your family a very happy ( and painfree ) Christmas !

Merry Christmas, Mandy to you and your lovely family ❤

Mandy, I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. I hope you’ll be feeling better soon. 😘. Merry Christmas ❤

Merry Christmas from my knitting needles to yours! 🎄

Sorry to hear you're having nerve pains. Hope you have a happy holiday!

I'm sorry you're experiencing pain. No fun, I hope it's gone by now. Merry Christmas!

I’m with you. Despite the looms, flatbed machine, and circular machines, I do really just love hand knitting and crocheting.
