I love how you are calling out vogue while spelling the name "vouge"😂

“But I’m curious. Call me George.” had me literally laughing out loud. Just stop it. 😂

I don’t think an average person viewing your completed projects would have any clue that you have not been knitting very long. Because it looks like a. You’ve been knitting forever and b. You got a lot of beautiful projects done last year. Thank you for sharing! ❤

I think the colours you're wearing suit you really well but I'm also a firm believer of just wearing whatever colours you want and I think you have a good eye for colour combination - just look at those mittens!!! I'm working on my second Musselburgh hat - a friend loved the first one I made for myself so much, soon we'll have matching hats 😂❤ I hope you have friends and family you can rely on and everything sorts itself out. Hang in there! Looking forward to seeing more of your knits and listening to your witty comments about them ❤

you're hilarious <3

Great job! So glad to have found your podcast, and you were so right to buy out Copenhagen in the color Matcha, it looks great on you. The Halibut is on my list for this year, thanks for the warning on the sleeve split.

Working on my Adorable Ginger Sweater. It was one of my 2025 plans and then the designer announced a KAL for it so I took it as a sign. Sorry to hear about your job. But more time for KZbin? Let's get your content paying your rent #hypegirl

Idk what people are on about, your hair and eyes look like a very warm brown to me, I vote deep autumn! - someone who knows nothing but loves googling the color season palettes lol

Currently working my own halibut. Maybe not my best decision to be my first colorwork. Or yoked piece. But she’s getting there 😂 great video

I've also just cast on my first Musselburgh ☺️ but I'm still on the increases

Fun video. “Hello, have we met” . Best line about swatching 😄

Really nice knits

I just finished my persian tiles blanket and am working on one more crochet blanket before I stop being such a damn CHICKEN and try knitting again (I knit 2 pairs of mittens and the entire lion folklore cardigan pattern, learned I've been twisting my stitches the entire time and then quit all crafting for six months) I've been flirting with ravelry-- I like the braidy loop sweater (other loops) or maybe the salvador sweater (johanna gehrisch)? Something reasonable. Something with cheap yarn, but not so cheap I won't wear it because it feels bad.

Fun video! Also I was so nervous that you were going to poke yourself in the face with the knitting needle microphone 😅😂

You're super cool! Love from Lisbon ❤!!!

Sorry about your job, that is a huge bummer. I hope you are able to find something that works for you until grad school! As for color seasons, I also struggled! I have a neutral skin tone and I straddle summer and fall. I find colors from “soft summer” and “soft autumn” to work well for me (although no one will ever be able to tell me not to wear black, and I honestly wear whatever looks pretty to me). Maybe you could look into “dark autumn” and “dark winter” which are between true autumn and true winter :)

I just worked up the courage to buy a sweaters quantity of La Bien Aimee yarn also! I got the merino singles in the color Vanilla Bean and Kumo in the color Ghost! I'm hoping to make the Lento with them, but I'm also considering the california sweater :)

youre a winter for sure at least in the lighting of this video. hugs on the layoff. you will get through it! <3

You should plan your next Denmark trip around Fiberfolk - yarn festival with a lot of great yarn dyers (and more). In 2025, it is 16 and 17 August in Roskilde - close to Copenhagen❤❤

Love all your color choices! You should definitely just wear what you like. I’m currently working on the Roads Sweater by Ozetta and might start Sweater No. 18 by My Favourite Things

I agree where any colour you want. I love Mondim yarn. I just did a test knit for a all over lace cardigan using that and it knit up beautifully. Your mitts will be beautiful, I think you mentioned you are using sock yarn. If you don't catch the floats do you think you will hook your fingers or jewelry on them because the sock yarn wouldn't felt? I do not have experience knitting mitts so would love to hear what happens. Congratulations on going back to school. It is scary when you get laid off but honestly better things will come. I am guessing you are the same age as my daughter and she is finishing university and her hours were cut back to almost nothing. It is stressful but as cheesy and pollyanna as it sounds good things will come. Right now I am working on a pair of socks when I should be working on one of the two test knits I have going on. I just needed something mindless. I really enjoy your videos, thank you for taking the time to make them.

I thrift (forage) sweaters for yarn and work it up into new stuff. Currently turning lilac merino into a Friday Slipover and then have another fuzzy lilac sweater/yarn waiting to be washed and wound. Probably also going to be a vest.

You’re incredible! Another fun video🩷💓💞I’m so happy you love your mini bewitched boxy!!!

I'm so sorry about your job! You will find something amazing, or grad school will open new avenues for you. I have to ask, did you make the black 🐈‍⬛ on your bookshelf? It's adorable! Happy knitting 💚🧶🩷

I am currently on unpaid leave so I feel you babe. enjoy the yarn. capitalism is sucking the life out of us anyway

I adore your videos…love your humor and your project choices. I’m a newish knitter and at the tail end of my career and isn’t it just SO cool that we have this craft to connect with!! My fingers are crossed for you to find a job to fill in the gap until grad school!

It's not funny, but I laughed at your French yarn story. I had a similar situation where I put a $500 deposit down on a birthday vacation for my partner when I got laid off. I had something like 900 more dollars to pay 😂

my mom also got me one of those bags!! I love it

In terms of color season, I'd check out either deep autumn or dark winter. Not sure though. It's generally about whether or not you feel that you can see your facial features complimented by a color, or whether a color washes you out or takes center stage (so your features are less important than the brightness of the color, etc.).

Black seems to suit you, I would put my bet on cool tones, deep colors check the winter palette 🤔

Hello sweet Maddie. Thank you for always bringing a big smile to my face. I think the universe was telling you that you needed that yarn and that you needed the time to knit with it. 😁 It will all work out somehow so try not to stress over it too much and just enjoy the down time my friend. HUGS 🤗 ❤

Yay! Another upload!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Oh no, sorry to hear about the job :((( Take care and hopefully things will sort themselves out <3 THAT YARN IS STUNNING THOUGH

YESSSSS WIPssss

The Sophie scarf looks fantastic with that sweater. It really suits you.

I definitely agree you should overdye the Clematis - as you were discussing that you didn’t like it, I was actually thinking that that’s what I would try. Anyhow, I love all your makes and only having one that you’re not that happy with is a great success!

obsessed with you I fear-- also thank you for curing my "how hard could it be... other people do it" disease with the halibut sweater with my 3 knitted-items-ever experience. You're a hero. (I'll get there one day)

The problem with adding motifs to size up a circular yoke is that it will distort the neck to be massive very quickly. Just wanted to put that here in case anyone tries it ❤

Thank you so much! Great sweaters! My knits are fails after fails...even with petite knit patterns I fail ...because ....I am stupid basically !!! But you're funny and it's great to watch your videos!!! Lots of love from Lisbon 😊❤❤

So many slays! Idk if I can pick a fave! Also lol at “this is a vest… by a designer” sometimes things just leave the brain (especially if the camera is on) and there’s nothing we can do. 😂

First video I’m watching of yours, and I have to follow because of your humor 😂 sometimes knitting channels can get so serious! Also I’m making that freaking halibut sweater. I’ve seen it twice now and I’m obsessed lol.

Wow the halibut color combo is fire!🔥

A really good mechanism I have found for keeping track of even # increases (like in the sophie scarf/hood/shawl family) is by linking stitch markers together (# of stitch markers should be number of rows between increases/2) with a green marker at the end. Every right side, move one marker closer to the green stitch marker. When you get to the green marker, you know you will increase/decrease on the next wrong side. I did this for my sophie hood and didn't lose track once!

“I didn't make that much” are you insane?! You made so much and it all looks amazing. I would suggest doing yoga for your wrists and shoulders (yoga is just great in general). Once a month The Wooly Thistle podcast has yoga for knitters. You did great! Be proud of yourself. Life is too intense to always be thinking you could do better. Great episode. Happy New Year 🎉 Happy knitting 💚🧶😘

This podcast is def a mega slay

Sophie Scarf is not mindless in a way that you do need to track the increases and decreases but to me it's mindless in a way that I don't need to check the pattern every 5 min and in basically just doing the same thing for the whole scarf

this new haircut really suits you! I love your colour's combinations and (maybe also because I'm a slow knitter) to me it looks like you worked a lot this year and you really should be proud of the results!! Being here from the first video and I love to see how you're growing as a podcaster while keeping it simple and natural =)

The prima pullover is soooooo freaking cute on you. And the step by step sweater?? The colors?? I love. I will say I’ve had some felting on the heels of my socks and it just depends on the yarn and how often you wear the socks. I can see why you love the cloud sweater sm, it has such clean finishes and the halo is so elegant. I just want to say that I think you made the perfect amount of stuff for you. I knit a total of 4 garments this last year, and while I would love to knit more this year I know that my life might not always allow me to do that. It’s amazing to see how high your slay ration was. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Maddie. First… I’m LOVING your new look my friend!!! It’s polished and cute at the same time. Next, you’ve done an incredible job on your second year of knitting. I have to say that my favs are your PetiteKnit sweaters… Amy and Cloud. They are perfection. I agree, she just writes/designs great patterns. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with Grad school and enjoy your down time because it will fly by. HUGS 🤗 ❤

Fab makes! You did amazing work!
