Tu es tellement agréable à écouter en anglais, et le format saison pour faire le throwback dans ta saison passée est vraiment super ! (Oui, on a le droit au franglais ici !)

Love your thoughts on knitting mistakes and intimidation. I have waited years to attempt a garment because I am intimidated. I have cast on Sophorine and have been enjoying the process. I have learned so much and appreciate the many options in the pattern. I regret waiting so long to try making a garment, but I am so happy that I finally decided to just do it.

I have a tip for the ribbing tension! I have the same problem with the last stitch looking larger, and I once did a deep-dive into why this happens and how to adjust before knitting the Idun top by Kajsa Vuorela Frederikson (which is all over 4x4 rib). For LAST st before switching from knit to purl and vice versa, wrap yarn away from left-hand-needle instead of towards (so clockwise (=eastern style) for knit stitch, anti-clockwise (=western style) for purl stitch). NB I am a combination knitter so I wrap my knit stitches anti-clockwise (=western) for knit stitches and clockwise (=eastern) for purl stitches, so I’m always wrapping the yarn towards the left-hand-needle. If you are not used to this and want to try this trick, be mindful that your stitches worked this way will be mounted differently from what you are used to when you come back to work them. I have a feeling that our knitting styles are fairly similar because every time you discuss how some knitters have a problem but you don't or vice versa, I'm always on board with you. Also, I think the adjustment I described above is easier to work when working English style, so there's a plus there ;)

Hahaha I paused the video to make this comment, then when I unpaused it you proceeded to explain half of what I described above. P.S. I love the colour you chose for your Lunen.
