Today I'm catching you up on all the knitting I've been getting myself into as well as my (sweater) surgery story. ❤

[@myndolin]

The Night Circus 🥰 I'm so excited for you!

[@SierrasStitchSanctuary]

Oh my gosh, could you IMAGINE being the person who hand knit that sweater, and seeing THIS?! Oh how my heart would be filled to the brim, dare I say over flowing with how happy I would be to see such a wonderful knitter pick up something I made, fix, and love it. That is incredible. Love the journey this sweater must have been on so far. Awesome, if it ever makes it to another pair of hands, I hope those hands as well know that it is no ordinary sweater

[@DawnCaines-u5c]

Ah a hockey fan! Another reason to love you! 😊

[@kevelthaus3197]

Loved your video. Lots of inspiration with hat creating. I absolutely love that Latvian BraId. It REALLY makes the hat! I grew up reading Steven King. You must read The Stand. I've read it 5 times now. What sweater are you wearing. The sweater in for surgery is gorgeous! Those are totally your colors too. There is a cardigan pattern that goes with the Styria sweater patter- if that's the match. Congrats to your son on the camper. Wow, that is pretty cool!!! Happy knitting.

[@johnjackson7951]

Good choice on the Gaggia

[@velvety2006]

wow that build looks really detailed, good work ronin

[@jody1622]

PS thanks for the note about the sweater you’re wearing! Love it!

[@chadscreationstation9364]

I got back into legos as an adult the past few years, tell your boys their build is amazing! Great job guys!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I’m so close to getting into it myself Chad! And I will let them know for sure. ❤️❤️

[@sunrhyze]

Extremely cute kids interlude. Fantastic job, Ronan! I don't know if I could change my preference for starting my hats at the cuff, but since so many of them failed to fit properly after all the work, I would certainly consider a change.

[@crocheh]

I love seeing the creativity of your community members! They're all so lovely and fun.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I know, right? It's so much fun to see everyone's unique style. 😊

[@simoneclarke5104]

Awesome job on the camper van!! Knitting, video games, board games, & reading, my heavenly hobbies 🥰

[@Madeleine-st8mo]

These are my exact hobbies!

[@simoneclarke5104]

@ 🥰

[@britter.the.knitter]

The Night Circuis is one of my all-time favorite books. It's just lovely.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

It’s such a wonderful story so far!

[@fairlyme8676]

Mine too! I read it over ten years ago still a teenager. I'm planning on picking it back up this year because I really want to read her second book too from 2019 Have you read "The starless sea"?. Greetings from Germany!

[@easternsecrecy9777]

That camper van is fantastic! I'll keep it mind for when my grandson is a bit older.

[@anneallen9947]

Loved catching your knitting update today. I have been busy since just before Christmas with family and friends and have no 'me' time and no knitting time for nearly 2 weeks! Sitting with my peppermint tea and a knitting project and listening to you is a blessing 😊

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I’m glad you’re able to carve out some time to knit and relax. Love this Anne!

[@brendawilliams8161]

Oh my gosh I missed the live but the story of the "broken sweater" is just amazing. I find it so serendipitous that you of all people picked that sweater up. I mean what are the odds that a master knitter who the sweater actually fits would pick it up and have the skill to fix it! I'm so excited to see it mended and glad it's continuing to be loved. You're right - someone made that will great love and skill.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much Brenda! My gosh it’s going to be a saga for sure. Keep posted. 😉

[@veradoling8580]

I’ve not tried a top down hat. You’ve inspired me!

[@dorym8045]

Laughed out loud when you said your head was like scrambled eggs. 😂. I was in the Live and am so excited to see what you’ve started doing with the thrift sweater. 👏🏻. And tell your son: Cool camper! Great job!

[@pbearski2007]

Haven’t tried a top down hat as of yet but with all your info and enthusiasm I’m putting it on my todo list for this year. Night Circus, I absolutely loved it!

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

Love the update! I'm about to start a botton-up hat with your yarn I purchased! I want to try your top-down hat process and mosaic, as well as try crocheting a hat. Happy New Year!

[@kimmyk3640]

Hi Taylor!! I've got my cozy cuppa, my knitting, my dog, I'm here. 😊

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Woohoo! I’m so happy you’re here! Enjoy. ❤️

[@glynismarsh4532]

I did a similar fix on a sweater that had been attacked by moths as it languished in my knitting basket for too long. Luckily the holes were all within a two inch horizontal band on the body. It was a gansy and a lot of work had been put into it at a fairly small gauge so I was looking for how to fix it. I did exactly what you did. I cut the knitting and unraveled the 2” of damage, put the bottom severed portion back on the needles and knitted up for 2” to meet the other half of the sweater then did one of the longest grafting operations I’ve ever done. It was amazing and I felt so accomplished afterwards. (But now I know to be more vigilant about what goes on undetected in my knitting basket!)

[@lisagimblett8646]

I have read both of those books and loved them. The Shining is spooky wonderful ✨️

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I love your description of The Shining: spooky and wonderful indeed.

[@janetcannonteacher]

Loved seeing your interaction with your kids❤

[@Mr3355661]

What joy ! Loved this today! Just so happens I’m knitting man’s beanie! Hmm options! Happy new Year! And KIVED meeting your beautiful boys!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year!

[@joansummerside4225]

The "nipple situation" made me LOL! 😆 Interesting episode! (The Lopi sweater landed in the right home!!!)

[@neenaj365]

Wow, the Jupiter is gorgeous ❤

[@meganjohnson906]

I lovvvve that you saved the thrift store sweater!! 💚

[@putrescentcadaver]

I never played the Witcher games but I've listened to like 5 or 6 audiobooks from the Witcher series. Years ago i used to read thousands of pages a week and now i can barely officially make myself read but I can sit and knit, listen to audiobooks for days. I'm so jealous of your espresso machine! Cozy knitting with a delicious cup is so relaxing! I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for always being a cheery, quality content creator!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much for commenting and for your kind words. The Witcher audiobooks are fantastic. Such a wonderful world. And the game (Witcher 3) lives rent free in my mind always. I highly recommend it if you’re into gaming. Just such an incredible story and world. And this espresso machine is fantastic. I’ve been wanting it for years now and finally decided to save up and just bite the bullet. ☺️ Happy New Year! ❤️

[@nikitinaknits]

I enjoyed knitting through, thank you ☕

[@jody1622]

This is kind of funny because I just finished my first Bottom-Up sweater! It was such a mysterious project because I had no idea if it was gonna fit …weird! But it’s perfect (miracles do happen) and fits perfectly… so now a top down hat! 😂 Well…ok

[@krautkopf65]

Oh my gosh!! I love the camper van. He did such a great job!!

[@mst7574]

i loooooove your black mohair

[@cricketcs9505]

I've been coveting a Gaggia for soooooooo long. Americano envy❤

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

It is such a great espresso machine. Honestly I bought it because I knew it would be in our family forever. It’s built like a tank and gets 9 bars of pressure which is excellent for a home espresso machine. ❤️

[@cerwelt]

New knitter, just listening to the jargon. Loved your boys and their building blocks. The camper was superb.

[@extraterrestrialelliot]

Your hat knitting kick previously came in just at the right time, as my father requested a woolly hat for Christmas - I finished it at 1am Christmas day 😅 - whoops! Happy to see you posting again and looking forward to new videos in the new year!

[@karendavis7278]

I want that camper van! Camping is my happy place. Great job.

[@carolynallan5555]

That's one lucky sweater to be rescued by you! 🙂

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you Carolyn!

[@chrissy24-7]

Very interested in the sweater surgery! I love your hats, too. Happy New Year🎉

[@AubrieJaye]

Hi Mrs. Earl! I just found your channel and I’m obsessed 🤩 You are fantastic at everything you do when it comes to being a mother, wife, knitter, practitioner. Thank you for being you Mrs. Earl!💕

[@valeriehowden471]

I'm on hat hiatus right now, or I'd be joining in. Enjoy your sweater surgery. Looks good on you. Have fun at the game. Went to St. Louis vs. Wpg a while back and the Jets lost, but they're still on top 😊.

[@peggyeagan9108]

Night Circus is my absolute favorite! I also recommend Steven King's Fairytale. It is so good.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I LOVED Fairy Tale! Listened to it and it was amazing. ❤️

[@aprils.]

Our machine is a Breville, but we love it. The Gaggia gets a lot of love in the coffee community, so good purchase! I got my coffee at a shop today, though - a Cortado and a delicious pain au chocolat, which I am actually enjoying while watching this video.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

That sounds amazing! I am so ready for a good croissant and coffee right now.

[@katibere1966]

Happy New Year!! Thanks for sharing those great apps/websites…awesome tools! Love the sweater surgery story!

[@Annthrium]

I actually really like your beige hat! I love the stitch pattern and I like how it cinches in on the top. It reminds me of the crochet "Waves of Hope Hat" by Sweet Potato that I made last year. I personally enjoy when things don't always have a gradual decrease on the crown because it feels repetitive at this point, it feels like every hat pattern has it.

[@katymurray1661]

AHH! My youngest son got that set too! In fact, all of my kids got non-Lego…legos. We are loving these off-brands over here ❤❤

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Aren’t they great?! This particular brand is super good. Very high quality. We were so impressed.

[@carolbailey5875]

Thank you I have been enjoying being on Patreon. Learning so much! I hope you do a top down hat with the folded double brim that you sew or something to secure it. I want to make that and cannot figure out how to add that feature of the double folded brim that attaches basically inside of the hat.

[@antinn7448]

yeh! another knitter/gamer :)

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

🙌🙌🙌

[@angelmonstera]

here for more camper content lol

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

lol! Same. ❤️

[@vadec5909]

What a great episode!! Your hats are beautiful!! I would enjoy doing the one with the braid and just stocking knitting. Wow good for Ronan building that camper. Good luck on the sweater surgery!! I LOVE books maybe more than knitting. I read The Shining when it came out. I think I really like The Stand. Night Circus is on my TR list. I will definitely subscribe to your other channel. I follow a lot in Goodreads. The Women by Kristin Hannah, won for 2024. Happy New year to you!!

[@carolinedubose5136]

Love the camper Ronin put together!!!! The sweater you are doing surgury on is pretty!! Looks like it may have gotten the hole fro. A zipper either from pants or possibly a jacket!! Your hats look lovely!!!

[@lieslnew8247]

Hi Tayler. So great to see you. Love everything you are doing. Happy New Year. ❤❤

[@noelle56o1]

That thrifted sweater is beautiful! I wonder what the story is as far as the hole and how it ended up in the thrift store...? Its such a beautiful color combo and so well done! What a find!

[@belwynne1386]

Looking forward to the sweater surgery vlog!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Me too! 😂 It’s going to be epic.

[@txbarnldy]

The Shining was the only book I ever read that scared the 💩 outta me. Love the top down hats, stashed the pattern until after the New Year. You know toe up socks are the same principle, right. 😂 I hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

lol. It is so scary. So scary. And you’re so right about toe up socks. What was I even saying. 🥴🫠💀

[@txbarnldy]

@ tell your little his camper is so super cool!

[@jenlittle]

I just watched everything since Halloween! lol love the hat journey!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Oooo I love that!! ❤️❤️

[@jules_2.0]

Unrelated to the actual video, but a while ago you recommended The Bookseat to help read and knit at the same time, and I got one and it's great!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

That is awesome! I'm so glad it's working out for you!

[@vickifenlon2235]

Wow! Great hats!

[@jessicaclem8013]

I loved The Night Circus! And The Starless Sea, same author.

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

Loved the episode! Love the “Jupiter” hat, it is beautiful on you!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much!

[@anne-mariebauman6444]

Is this pattern available?

[@annetteragosta9838]

Your sons are adorable!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you Annette!

[@bagladysendtheferalspinner3761]

Happy New Year!

[@emilypeterson2108]

So nice of Santa to share that link, lol

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Listen, Santa works in mysterious ways. 🤷‍♀️

[@barbaracrichton5954]

Love today’s podcast. I’m not getting nearly the knitting done that I wanted to this Xmas, knitting with a wee puppy is a nightmare lol. Xx

[@evelynmehrkens6668]

A top down hat is the same direction of knitting travel as a toe up sock. You are traveling from the closed end to the open end.

[@charmaineholland6669]

Getting knitting together for the new year.

[@sbbosak]

I highly recommend the audiobook for The Night Circus. So so so good.

[@dhurd4099]

I know if I tried to kitchener a row across the middle of a stockinette section I’d end up with something resembling a surgical scar😂.

[@dori5969]

OK, with regards to sweater surgery. I found a shrunken lovely grey wool pullover sweater at thrift store. It somewhat fits and makes a great rain layer( on the rare occasion it rains over here in Bishop) I have thought I wanted to cut it open to make a zip up. Either full or quarter zip. My understanding is because it is shrunk/felted it would not unravel along cut. And I could sew a fabric binding to the edge to accommodate the zip. Any help or ideas with this would be wonderful. Love checking in on your videos.

[@jhuntsman17]

Please do a Felix pullover video. I have made one and gifted to my sil. I’m just curious how a Felix would turn out not using lettiloppi yarn and just using an worsted or air weight wool. Anyway, thanks for your lovely videos.

[@jmchau]

I love building lego kits, and as an over 65 woman I do still do them.

[@fabigrossi2976]

I can't remember the exact quote, unfortunately, but the fantastic author Astrid Lindgren, dearly loved by millions and millions of readers around the world, once said something to the extent of "There is no law that prohibits old women to climb up trees." I know for sure the same goes for Lego 😊

[@CassieDA17]

When you were talking about top down hats I was thinking that they’re similar conceptually to toe-up socks (which I prefer) and top down sweaters to me

[@dancespinner]

Lady, Crown down sound like my version of Sideways Short Row hats. Oooh yeah. My life is much improved by what it means!!! xoxoxo

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Ooooo I like the sound of this!!

[@hannawikstrom6649]

One way too mend small holes in sweaters is finding some extra yarn that has been woven in and then using that 😊

[@GenevieveCreatedOnALark]

That sweater is sooooo gorgeous! It’s so nice that you are bringing it back and giving it the care it deserves!

[@michellejackson7969]

I love Witcher 3. Can’t wait for 4!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Omg me neither. Ciri looks amazing. I love her whole vibe for this one.

[@mst7574]

your children are such cuties ... miss those ages!! (mine is 14yo)

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you!! 🥹

[@barbaraarmstrong3259]

Wow Taylor The Campground Cap is beautiful. Gosh I would like to know how to do the mosaic part. Beginning knitter here 😊

[@LoriNeu19]

My neighbor does New Years predictions, taking a stab on events that could occur in the coming year. We could all make predictions for 2025 WWC topics. I would never have predicted a pom pom heavy episode. You two are a hoot!

[@jennymiles4426]

Bit surprised you didn’t credit the Two of Wands Mexican blanket mosaic pattern when talking about your Campgrounds hat pattern release

[@KatarzynaSzmigiel-Rawska]

Greetings from Poland - Geralt's Land ;) . I love the story! I do not think that other books by A. Sapkowski were translated but if they ever were, I highly recommend his Short Stories. They are amazing. The truth is that there are a lot of hidden gems closely related to smth you would call an internal joke (Central Europe internal), but still, these are some of the best books (two volumes) I ever read.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Hello!! I absolutely loved the Witcher series of books. Such a wonderful storyline and beautiful lore. I will definitely look for the short stories. I’m also just generally interested in fantasy fiction and historical fiction from Eastern Europe and Slavic cultures. Any recommendations are so welcome. Thank you so much for commenting. ❤️

[@KatarzynaSzmigiel-Rawska]

​@@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS I am not an expert. A. Sapkowski is a classic here in fantasy, in SF it would be S. Mrożek. My friend wrote for CD project a novel which is a story of Geralt but in the game and is different from the Sapkowski novel. I did not read this one, but I know him and if he used all his powers I can recommend the book :) Fantasy is very popular here but I am not a huge fan so I will recommend if I happen to bump into smth interesting :) I like political fiction, classics and nowadays I am crazy about crime stories novels :)

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

@@KatarzynaSzmigiel-Rawskathank you! I need to look up the book you mention and see if it’s been translated. I will find any excuse to get lost in the world of The Witcher.

[@Kasialek_]

​@@WOOLNEEDLESHANDSLast month new book from the Witcher world was published here in Poland, it was such a pleasure to read! Hope to be translated very soon, so you can enjoy it too 😃 highly recomend the shortstories!

[@awilson8521]

We have that espresso machine, or very similar, and we have a couple of small roasters very near us. No longer can we stand coffee shop espressos.

[@alekfelis]

Happy new year, Tayler! The camper is really impressive. I can't remember if I already told that in previous video, sorry if I'm repeating myself, but I highly recommend Peggy Orenstein's book ''Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater'', she brilliant articulate thinks I'm posting about from ages. I know the comments in your upcoming video will boil my blood, because knitters have that arrogantly behavior over us farmers like they know better what is good for our animals, although we are stepping on generations upon traditions and experience, and few bad example they see on TikTok is not the full picture. But I'm looking forward to see your observation, especially after you started the Born Shorn Dyed collection. Two notes about the current video: I don't like the four portion increases for a stupid personal preferences, so I'm curious to see the result with more. Usually I would do it only in three places but it may become way too pointy. I often unravel thrift store sweaters with some stain or hole to repurpose the yarn and they are most often made from two strands in opposite direction, so if you cut it in half will not get the same experience as if cut the hand knit sweater. There are of course some exceptions, but they are difficult to determine before starting unravel. At least for me.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Hi Alek! Happy new year to you! I love what you’re saying here and I think that you will really appreciate the video I prepared. I completely agree with you and I think that it’s time folks step off their high horse and reflect on the REALITY and not just the alarmist content splashed across their feeds. There’s so much more going on. And I just started another version of this hat with 8 sections and I really like it. I think you’ll like it better too. Always so nice to see you in the comments. ❤️❤️

[@cathypearson1889]

Do you have a pattern that incorporates the Latvian braid? I'd love to try the hat when your yarn comes back.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Not yet! But VERY soon. ❤️

[@cathypearson1889]

@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS Thank you!

[@snicklesfritz8449]

Hello Tayler. Can you tell me if your Patreon is for new knitters? (Beginners) or is it a more advanced group?

[@Madeleine-st8mo]

You don't need to defend your coffee machine purchase! We bought a Breville Barista Express during lockdown and we've had that machine for over 4 years now. It was expensive but it's never broken down and never made anything other than a perfect coffee.

[@samanthageiger5851]

Will you be making a pattern for the hat with the braid on the brim?

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I will! ❤️

[@carolv8254]

You need to go to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park if you like The Shining

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I really want to!

[@sandrasavoie8641]

You should read ALL the Stephen King books! The man is a master ❤

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Yep. I think that’s the plan now. I’m hooked. ☺️

[@janetretzer4869]

Great as usual. Can you tell us what is the name of the pattern of the sweater you’re wearing? Is that a Felix pullover without the holes? Just curious. Trying to decide if I want to make that or a bulky knit novice cardigan by Petite knits! I already bought the yarn Aran worsted tweed. So I need a pattern to use it! Any ideas? Thanks.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! And this is the No Frills by Petite Knit. ❤️

[@janetretzer4869]

Thanks, in your opinion, which i value, should I make he No Frills or Felix with the Aran wt. yarn, or Novice cardigan? I can’t make up my mind! ha ha! Help😅

[@patternandcraft]

I don’t think it matters if you have 4 sections or 8 sections it’s probably that you need more increases at the start and then less as you shift to a tube shape so the start of the hat is almost a flat circle, then tapers, then no increases?

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Ooo yes! You may be right! Thank you. ❤️❤️

[@barbaraarmstrong3259]

Also Iam alkergic to Mohair Im thinking an alpaca fibre would work

[@roxannesmith289]

I love Stephen King's books. I have been reading his work since I was about 10 yrs old. I know heavy reading for a 10 yr, but I was that kid. Stephen King disliked Stanley Kubrick's version of his book as it was so different from the book. There was a mini series version that aired on tv some years ago that was more like the book, it has Rebecca De Mornay. It was pretty good.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I love that you were that kid. Very cool. And I definitely need to watch the miniseries. I’ve heard that about King and his thoughts on the film. It makes a lot of sense. The book is just so much MORE.

[@ChrisCook-nm4cd]

I realize that top down socks sounds like top down for a hat, but to my mind, top down socks start with a rib, like a brim on a hat, and starting with a toe is more like the shaping of the top down hat. So, don't knock it till you try it... you might *really* like toe up for the same reasons you like top down hats.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Yes. I totally know what you mean. And I don’t dislike knitting from the toe up, (I’ve done it a few times). It’s just not my favorite.

[@bonniemiles7957]

Be careful, espresso is addictive !

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I mean better espresso than other things. 😂😂🤣🫠

[@gigglefeather]

Is your son’s name a nod to World of Warcraft? Great lore, and amazing book series if you haven’t read

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Ooo cool! No, it’s actually just a favorite and more a nod to my Scottish heritage (my family is a blend of Scottish, Mexican, and Irish). But I’ve been wanting to get more into WoW.

[@laurelrobbins8673]

“The Shiining” is my favorite Stephen King book. I’ve read a few more of them, but had to stop reading them after I read “Misery” because that one bothered me so much - too realistic for me.

[@mrsclaunch]

Look at your hair! It’s getting so long. Looking great!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! I’m really enjoying it. After so many years of short hair, it’s a nice change. ❤️

[@dwent524]

There's a made for TV The Shining movie with Stephen Weber that is closer to the story from the book. I've read a lot of King's books and 1 or 2 of Tabitha's. He tends to get too descriptive of unimportant things...imo.

[@vickifenlon2235]

What's a golden nights game?

[@valeriehowden471]

NHL team - Vegas Golden Knights.

[@vickifenlon2235]

@never heard of that team; but I've been living outside of the US for ten years and don't own a tv, plus ice hockey is not a thing in Ireland.

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

Hockey! Nothing I love more than knitting and watching hockey.

[@JustWriter]

Missus Earl, I believe you're increasing too rapidly. Have you ever done a crown down crochet hat before? Puckering comes from increasing too often, so try doing some rounds you don't increase on in-between the rounds you do increase on. It'll give you a more gentle slope. If you want it to look less geometric, when it's lying down flat, shift your increases, every other increase round, to the halfway point between your markers. Then shift back.
