I absolutely love and look forward to each and every one of your episodes. I always learn a new tip or two or three that I add to my knitting “tool box”. After each episode I feel inspired and reengerized. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Will you be at Rhinebeck? Would love to meet you to thank you in person

Love your channel. I found you 4 days ago and have already watched every episode. Very sad because now I will have to wait for each episode to show up. You are getting better with each show and your knitting and sewing skills are professional quality. Looking forward to the show notes for some of the links. I am going to try my hand at sewing my own project bag in order to have the style, size, shape and number of pockets that are perfect for me. Looking forward to the next year of your channel [even if it will take a full year rather than 4 days :)]. Thank you for all of the information you give us.

Thank you for an inspiring podcast! Loved all of your knits. 🥰 Dealing with gauge can be a bit tricky (having similar issues), but I've found that knitting a larger swatch than 4 x 4 gives me a more accurate measurement. I've tried using different swatch rulers, such as the one suggested by Andrea, a wooden one, the Susan Bates, and ANN BUDD’S HANDY GAUGE RULER. I really like the last one; it's perfect! I used all 3 at the same time..;)
@ColoradoKnitter5 күн бұрын
Ooo thanks! Looking that ruler up now! Yes I’m hoping to be better about a larger swatch. Maybe 6x6?

Your knitting is some of the best I have ever seen and aspire to do half as good as you some day. I too have shiny object syndrome and want to cast on everything that pops into my head. Since everything is new to me I just want to keep trying and learning. Your talent in all areas of making is so wonderful. I hope you never stop sharing. The information you provide is valuable and gets better every episode. THANK YOU!!!

ahhhh the hobonichi haul!!! I was just noticing the washi tape on your peg board and next thing I knew you were talking about hobonichi. LOVE! totally want to see an a6 flip thru ;) . I bought my first hobonichi to keep track of knitting projects - but ended up using it as a planner/ journal and use a separate notebook for knitting projects (since my projects tend to span ...years. haha).

So fun! I tend to use it like a junk journal, just for fun and what I want in the moment ! And the cutie A6 is so perfect. The weekly I do write down daily chores and tasks, not as fun but helps me focus
