[@rgporter1957]

Thank you so much for doing the research and making these notes. I'm a middle of the road knitter, doing a lot for charity or my sister who lives in Washington State, so these will help to stretch my skills. I'm cleaning up my very lengthy KZbin subbie list and ran across you today and was so glad I did. I'm going to be watching your podcasts more often! I love your quiet demeanor and your easygoing style. So many of the gals are just too "much", if you know what I mean. I'll be back! And thank you again, so much!❤❤❤❤

Fabulous selection of patterns! My road/train trip will be to the Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival next month. A dual trip…knitting and visiting my son. Decided I will choose one of the patterns for the trip there and one for the way back. Thank you for taking the time to do this! 😊

[@alovelyyarn]

Enjoy your visit with your son and the festival! How fun! Thank you for watching. I'm happy you enjoyed!

[@julzlarrabee]

This is a great reference Amber, thank you! The Pompom Chevron hat matched your earrings perfectly!!😊

[@alovelyyarn]

THank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulamacdonald3222]

Love your podcasts. I have enjoyed knitting Stephen West's Dotted Rays pattern. All garter stitch. Paula from Australia.

[@alovelyyarn]

Yes! I am pretty sure I included that one in the bundle, just not here since it's not a free pattern. I really want to knit that one. I've had it in my favorites folder for a while. Thank you for watxhing, Paula!

[@josephinehowe4063]

An absolutely great curation of free and relatively easy patterns. Thank you. I did finish my Summer Camp Kerchief and did a couple of rows of eyelets toward the end and edged the blue color in a lime green ribbing, primarily because I ran out of yarn, but also it set the scarf off. It blocked easily and dried within a day of washing it. It was a fun and rewarding knit so again, thank you. I am thinking the Sari Nordlund shawl would be a good one since I have a lot of DK. My go to garter, 2 skein dk shawl is the Be Simple shawl and it is an asymmetrical triangular shawl and wraps around the neck well and stays in place and the pattern is free on Ravelry. I have knit so many that a slightly different and bigger version of a garter shawl will be nice.

[@alovelyyarn]

Hello Josephine! I'm so glad you liked the kerchief! I love the idea of edging it with a contrast color. I have looked at the Be Simple Shawl in the past and think I might have included it in one of my past knit list podcast episodes. Thank you so much for watching and saying hello!

[@wendykelcey1246]

I realized part way through that I'd already watched this, but I needEd to refresh my memory😂. We're preparing to drive from Virginia to Utah for our oldest daughter's college graduation, and I have ideas now for car knitting! Thank you! I'm only maybe 3 feet into my hubby's Dr. Who (Tom Baker) scarf. Mittens for my neighbor in her favorite color - because she's awesome (we watch each other's houses when the other travels). If those don't keep me busy, a pair of banana socks, or a hair accessory!

I have a long coach trip from the south west of England to London to see my children and I found the Bear Lights Shawl by Joanne Bint.

Miss Amber, your videos are always such a pleasant surprise! I feel like it's too hot for me to make anything with wool right now, but I'm struggling through my first crocheted acrylic shrug based on a 1940s pattern, so it should be ready for my first fall chill. I can't wait for cooler weather! Thanks Amber 🌻
