[@madisonmonteze]

I 💗 your vlogs!!! I had such a blast yarn crawling with you last weekend (so glad we didn't let the rain stop us haha!)! The weekend also left me feeling so recharged and energized about my knitting ☺ can't wait to see all your summer tops come to life! Your new yarns are gorggggg

[@pagesandpurls]

Thank you thank you!! And same, I'm happy we braced the distance and the rain ☺️ Hoping for lots of knitting time in the next weeks so I / we can cast on all the summer tops

🇩🇰Hello here from Denmark. So nice yarn crawl. Have only been to yarn festival, not much of yarn crawl here where i live. I allways use magic loop on my sleeves. You can make them before you knit the rest of the sweater. I just find banana socks and knit them now. I dont think i go back to knit socks on the old way again. Love to see more podcast from you ❤️🇩🇰

[@pagesandpurls]

Hi, welcome, and thank you for your kind words! A yarn festival sounds really fun as well, and great that you've found a sock pattern that works well for you (:

IMMACULATE VIBES! BRB while I watch this video one million times. Your radish socks are turning out soooo adorable! And I can't wait to see those KFO silk tops!

[@pagesandpurls]

Ahw, thank you Chelsea!! I got so many nice things this weekend that I don't even know where to start, but I really want to cast on one of the silk tops soon!

Thank you for the tour of NY knit shops . . . oh how I wish I could travel there to shop!!

[@pagesandpurls]

Always happy to take you virtually around yarn shops (: Hoping you can visit them and see for yourself one day!

[@carlann9807]

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the finished sweater.

[@pagesandpurls]

Thank you for watching! Can't wait to cast on and show it (:

Great podcast. Regarding circulars for sleeves, I also use 16” / 40 cm needles but with fairly short sticks. Works fine, also down to 50 stitches on the cumulus blouse.

[@pagesandpurls]

Yes, right, I also used the short tips otherwise it might be a too large circumference. I think the cumulus blouse has closer fitting sleeves than most other sweaters on my list, so it should work for those

Die Mini Sweater 😍 😍 😍

[@pagesandpurls]

Mega süß oder? 🥰

[@ghostpuff]

Ahh! Your radish sock color combo looks so so nice! And as for audiobooks, I too got into it a lot lately and have been going through at least two books per week!

[@pagesandpurls]

Thank you! And yay, another audiobook listener -- can you recommend anything you listened to?

[@ghostpuff]

@@pagesandpurls I just finished Alone with You in the Ether and really enjoyed it, but I mostly listen to fantasy and romance and am a fair bit new when it comes to books haha :DD

[@pagesandpurls]

Oh, so you've got lots of nice things to discover (: I've only read The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake but have been wanting to read more of her books. Good to know that the audiobook of that is good!

[@ghostpuff]

@@pagesandpurls I do! I have an 8 day Euro trip coming soon and am stocking up on some titles for the road ... and lots of sock yarn :DD

[@pagesandpurls]

Ohh that sounds perfect!! Hope you have a good trip (:

[@wildnatureknits]

I am such a sucker for pastel purple... that catmint color is stunning 😍 (also loving your shirt with the white flowers lol)

[@pagesandpurls]

Thank you, and me too! Anything pastel purple / lavender is so hard to resist.

The podcast I watched just before yours was from a German knitter (Marlene Knits) who was reading the new Emily Henry book! I need to check out these books

[@pagesandpurls]

Oh yes her books are so good ! Would definitely recommend, and if audiobooks are your thing, Emily Henry’s books are read by my favourite narrator, so they’re really good to !!

[@betalister]

@@pagesandpurls I just looked up-Julia Whelan is so good!!! I most recently listened to her in I Have Some Questions for You by Rebecca Makkai, which was really good.
