Beautiful video as always. So thankful for every video to sit down and relax. Today I was working on my Monday sweater junior for my youngest son

[@velvetplans5396]

I am knitting myself a pair of Chantal Mittens by Moreca Knits, and crocheting a huge granny square bag for my sister-in-law. I really enjoy your podcast so much! I am a native english speaker but I really appreciate how you speak so clearly and really enunciate, I think your podcast would be excellent for english learners to listen to :) Happy Holidays from a Canadian living in Ohio USA!

[@morganunraveled]

aw that is so great to hear, thank you!! I hope you have a happy holidays, it can be tough being away from family & home for holidays!

[@bethanybeacham1823]

The colour of your ranunculus is so beautiful on you! I'm a newer viewer to your channel but you're one of my favourites now! You definitely make me feel so warm and cozy while I knit! I can't wait to see your next video 🥰

[@morganunraveled]

thank you for being here & your kind words! I am always happy to hear I bring comfort 🥰🥲

[@petmom1967]

The Jenny jacket swatch is gorgeous!!!

[@morganunraveled]

thank you 😍 I literally couldn’t NOT cast on after that hehe

[@emjones9181]

your videos always inspire me to pick up my needles! i'm very much a newbie knitter but i've been working on my first sock and it is way easier than i expected it to be

[@morganunraveled]

that is SO exciting, I'm proud of you for diving into socks!! 🥰 I heavily relied on Kristen Lehrer’s “how to knit socks” video my first few pairs. you got this!!

[@rebekahzomberg4075]

Thank you for your cozy vlogs! I found you this summer when the book club cardigan was coming out and you helped me to decide to jump into my biggest cable project to date. I'm currently working on the book club cardigan body while I watch. I've had my eye on the Jenny cardigan too after I made the baby cardigan for my 5th 2 years ago. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

[@morganunraveled]

thank you for following my journey along with yours! that is so exciting, you are going to love the book club cardigan - I can't wait to see your finished project! merry christmas to you too! 😊

[@christybray8789]

Morgan I am just finding your channel and love what you are creating! Thank you for sharing inspiration ❤ I am feverishly trying to complete a Musselburgh hat for my son in law! And then when that is complete I’ll get back to my test knit for Sanna and Co. I also have a book club cardi on the needles but just today I saw that sari has a bookclub pullover in the works!!! Oh the dilemma! I would love the sweater version! That’s ok I’ll carry on as planned. So many knits, so little time! Merry Christmas to you.😊

[@morganunraveled]

thank you for being here 💛 I absolutely love my Book Club Cardigan, my favorite make this year and ever! I noticed her teasing a pullover in the works, can’t wait to see it 😍 well wishes finishing your gift knitting and very happy holidays!! 🎄🥰

[@bernbee1679]

Your Jenny Jacket looks gorgeous, I love Luxury and especially in Stone. You will love your Ranunculus I’m sure, it’s my favourite knit. I have one in Fibra Natura Papyrus, it’s not the coolest but it’s good for the in between weather. You knit to bring you joy so it’s ok to cast on something new ☺️Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🌲🎄

[@morganunraveled]

thank you so much for being here & for your encouraging kind words! 🥰💗 Bendigo is great & I love how my papyrus ranunculus turned out. do you have other Aussie yarn recommendations? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!🎄

[@bernbee1679]

@ I buy a lot of indie dyed yarn but commercial yarn is either Bendigo or Nundle Woolen Mills 😉my white for cuffs/ toes etc of sock yarn I buy on a cone from them. Oh and Virgin River I have a love hate relationship with 😁

[@morganunraveled]

@ noted!! thank you!! and same, that’s why I watch it in bursts. it’s quite heavy and can be very emotional and triggering at times 💔 but I’m so invested in the characters and enjoy watching.

[@jackiemartinez2496]

I’m also going to cast on the Dagmar Zipper sweater! I already did my swatch and the only thing in between me and the cast on is my gift knits for Christmas. I think it’s going to be my Christmas cast on 🤭 Hope you have a lovely Christmas and New Years with your family ❤🎄

[@morganunraveled]

wishing you the best with finishing your gift knits, as well as a very happy holidays to you and yours 🎄🥰 hope you enjoy your Dagmar Christmas/New Years cast on!

[@sandrakirkpatrick3116]

Your enthusiasm with your Jenny jacket is making me want to cast it on. If I had the yarn I would be doing it. I Doha e the mohair but knit the other yarn. I am not sure which one to use.

[@morganunraveled]

thank you!! it’s sooo much fun & so beautiful. the Jenny jacket can be knit with any fingering weight/4ply yarn held with a mohair - hopefully you’ve got something in stash or can treat yourself for christmas 🥰

[@Ashleysknittingcorner1]

Love how your jenny Jacket is working up! Happy Holidays!

[@morganunraveled]

thank you so much! I am having so much fun working on it. 😌 happy holidays!!🎄

[@ZoeElizabethZ]

I just finished all my obligation knits including a blanket I’ve been working on since April. So I sat here and knit on the Felix Pullover which is one of the few “selfish” projects I’ve started in the last 8ish months 😊

[@morganunraveled]

congratulations!! so happy you get to work on something for you, I hope it brings you much joy 🌞

[@KarinA-kk1wq]

I have knitted 2 cardigans and 2 sweaters.. but I have avoided patterns with german short rows.. they make me so scared 😂 but I know I must try some day. Just dont get when I supose to turn how many stiches and so on. I have watched a ton if videos but like how do I know have many sts to stop from 😂 so scared. You are so talented. Wow

[@morganunraveled]

thank you so much! I somehow evaded them for a while too, unintentionally! I wouldn’t know when to turn if I wasn’t following a pattern, the pattern walks you through where to turn, just don’t forget to do the “double stitch” turn. you can do it!!

[@claraphiri4180]

Hey @KarinA-kk1wq I also avoided them for a while, but this year I decided to learn some of the “scary things”. And like you, I also watched endless videos on how to do German short rows. But, like Morgan said, it’ll make more sense when you work on them in a pattern. I made the Semper Sweater by The Knit Purl Girl. So well explained and not scary at all 😊

[@KarinA-kk1wq]

@@claraphiri4180 thank you so much!! I'm going to try when my wip is ready :)

[@KarinA-kk1wq]

@@morganunraveled Thank you so much :) I'm going to try it when my wip is ready. Working the whitmoore cardigan soon ready

[@sandrakirkpatrick3116]

Go with what ever brings you joy. I vote Jenny jacket. Mostly because I want to knit it. I just need to figure out what yarn to use.

[@morganunraveled]

yes!! I love following my knitting joy 🥰🧶

[@TheWoollyBat]

Working on the sleeves of my Auguste sweater while watching! One of my goals for next year is to finally knit Andrea Mowry's Wool and Honey and I've picked some nice goldenrod colour wool for it. Not sure if it will be my first cast-on of 2025 but I do plan to buy the yarn in early January!

[@morganunraveled]

that sounds gorgeous! I bought a beautiful copper merino silk yarn for a oslo or chestnut sweater 😍

[@TheWoollyBat]

@ that's going to be beautiful!

[@ilprovaas]

What a lovely new cast on. I almost feel tempted to make the pattern as well, but then again, my goal is actually to trim my make list for 2025 instead of adding more patterns to it 😂. Almost to the lace motive at the end the second of my Calliope. So close... but will probably finish after Christmas with all that's going on during the holidays. Having said that, Merry Christmas!

[@morganunraveled]

I hope you have a wonderful list of makes whether the Jenny makes it on your 2025 list or not 🤍 merry christmas to you as well!

[@Jess38]

I laughed so hard when you were talking about Virgin River knitting 😂 It's horrible! I'm also watching season 5. It looks like they are all making the same scarves since season 3.

[@morganunraveled]

hahaha probably 😂😂 to be fair they are a sewing club so maybe they only dabble in knitting… and it felt like Charmaine was pregnant for 5 years LMAO

[@FroggedLiz]

I love watching your blogs, you inspired me to start knitting again! Would love to know how you find your yarns being in Australia. I'm finding it so hard to find good quality yarns in South Australia.

[@morganunraveled]

thank you for being here 🥰 HIGHLY recommend Bendigo woolen mills!! pure natural fibers and come in 200g balls for $15-20AUD. great deal, great quality!!

[@FroggedLiz]

Oooh! I'll have to check them out! I recently bought from the Wangaratta Wool Mill in Victoria as my family lives close by and I'm excited to start some projects

[@morganunraveled]

@ omg I’ll have to look into that wool mill soon too 🥰 I also have a knitting for beginners playlist in my description of resources & tutorials I used when learning to knit. happy knitting!! x

[@verenameyer9046]

Hi 😅I am watching you from switzerland 🇨🇭.I am kitting my first cardigan 😅. I love your Podcast. Say hello to Healy and all the Aussie people 😂❤😂❤we are getting lost of snow ⛄️ snow ❄️…….

[@morganunraveled]

hi! so excited for you on your first cardigan, I bet it’s going to be gorgeous. sending you cozy knitting vibes and hope you’re staying warm with all that snow! ❄️

[@bobbatea4103]

Best wishes from Poland Warsaw 💚🌲🎅🧡😊

[@morganunraveled]

thank you!! wishing very happy holidays 🎄

[@wendykelcey1246]

Gauge swatch on the iPhone?? Wha??? Could you explain a bit more? Your ranuculus top looks beautiful! Beautiful last project! I love the stitch pattern!

[@morganunraveled]

after I gauge swatch I just take a photo to markup so that I don’t forget what needle I used! I used to forget what needles I used for my swatches. thank you so much 😊

[@wendykelcey1246]

@ oh ok thank you. I misunderstood. I thought a programme actually counted the stitches for you. I often muddle that. Taking it a picture and using markup is perfect! Thanks again. Enjoy your warm Christmas!🌲

[@morganunraveled]

I wish! I muddle that too. you can note the gauge with the markup as well if you are going to unravel it!

[@wendykelcey1246]

@ yes. Great idea. Might be easier to count with a picture. You can make it bigger!

[@morganunraveled]

@ I’d definitely count it with a real tangible ruler, the markup feature is just a way to keep track of the information :)
