I love the way you did your pattern roundup. You summarized the details of each pattern effectively, and I really appreciated your evaluation of the difficulty of each pattern and listing of the required skills. I’d love to see more pattern roundups from you in this format. It’s so helpful.

Great patterns! I’m enjoying your channel. I recommend blanket scarves for wheelchair users too. I like to keep my legs warm in the winter 🧶

Thank You! The Comfy Cabled Fingerless Gloves turned out great! Went down a needle size for the ribbed parts.

Those are some nice ideas and I love your way of presentation. This year, I am knitting a shawl for my sister and crocheting a Granny Square blanket for my mother, I hope I can get it done in time!

I made the Laid Edges socks for both of my grandmother's this year. They look amazing once they are blocked and are so comfortable.

Wow, some terrific ideas, thank you for the roundup! I actually really like those baskets…. Cool gift and self-gift idea ❤

Thank you for compiling this thoughtful collection of fun ideas to knit as we head into the holiday season! Really enjoyed it!

[@jacquelynjones6364]

Thank you for this enjoyable episode. You provided so much useful info in the discussion of each pattern and in the show notes. Really wonderful 😊

Love the list and I really enjoy the way you present all the patterns in your videos. I'm actually knitting the Laulu Shawl as a gift and can confirm there's a written pattern for all rows and repeats in a separate pdf file. Even though the pattern has cables and some simple lace it's so much fun, really easy to get a hang of and it knits up really quickly!

Great list. Thank you for taking the time to include the links, as well as your thoughts on each pattern.

The campfire blanket scarf would also make a great yoga blanket!

Nice roundup

[@melissalampman7214]

Thank you, loved that you told the weight of yarn used😇, I wrote down 5 patterns, 6 if you iclude Sari Nordlund Laulu shawl, as I have that pattern, yet to make , one day, maybe for a gift, leaning towards mitts and fingerless gloves. Take care,Melissa.

Thanks so much! Your video was perfectly timed as I needed a few more Christmas ideas.

[@lizriveragoldstein3421]

Great choices, wonderful descriptions! I felt like your advice about difficulty level and time needed to complete were really helpful. Thank you for a great job!

[@deloresjackson437]

Thank you so much for the pattern recommendations. There are several that I noted and will make - not for the upcoming winter holidays though. Looking forward to your next episode. Cheers!

Appreciate yarn and needle size. Very nice pattern

Great list. I really like the Classic Ribbed Hat.

[@patiharville8210]

Thank you! Great suggestions. ❤

[@theaen2811]

I have made «grytevott» by Aftenstrikk. I love it because you only have to knit ONE big mitten on needle 6mm, felt it and embroyder a name or something nice 🙌🏼 It it the Kine of mitten you use in the kitchen when cooking 😄 Sorry bad Norwegian english 😂

[@ABlackbirdsBooks]

Great selection of patterns! I'm actually going to teach two friends how to knit (especially in the round) soon and this gave me some really good inspiration for things I could suggest. I really appreciate how good your sound quality and video quality is in your videos. It really makes your videos so soothing and a joy to watch! i just thought I'd mention it, as I know it's not always easy to achieve these results in a video.

I'm glad this was helpful! And thank you for the kind words!

[@rachelraye285]

Amy! Congratulations on the 34k views ❤❤❤❤

[@maryoconnell35]

Thank you for your suggestions, I think I could manage to knit the classic ribbed hat, could you please suggest a sock pattern suitable for me, I have never knit socks and I would love to give it a go. ☘

[@neknits]

For first-time socks I recommend The Crazy Sock Lady's vanilla socks! She has a full KZbin tutorial for both 9" circular needles and magic loop kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3jEnquKqdyUm7csi=YyidSFQ2o8IXFH27 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPUdHewgJKFb68si=Wazgn2w8P6yQ-d5B

Love these ideas. Do you have any suggestions on finding patterns that are okay to sell?

[@neknits]

For specific suggesions, patterns by Emily Sheehan, Bluebirdpine Shop, Smeeny Made Wild, Wanded Knit and Crochet (these are mostly hats!) tend to allow sales of finished items in small quantities. In terms of general searching, it can be difficult! If a pattern doesn't specifically prohibit sales you could email the designer and ask.
