Awesome podcaster. Love watching you. You have an eye for colour schemes . Your podcast is def not boring. And you give me great insight on ideas. The projects(objects) you pick are perfect. I want to knit them all. Thanks Mari.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

What a lovely comment. Thanks for watching ❤️

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

I love your stripes sweater- the colours are just perfect and that little sock is just too cute. That baby quilt is a dream! Great job! I am still slogging away on a Flax for my grandson who is turning five and finding knitting the body is taking forever. I did finish a pair of socks and the revised clue 1 of the Stephen West MKAL. I was fortunate in that I didn’t have my yarn and I couldn’t start till Saturday, so by the time I started, Stephen had sent out the note and the new clue 1, so I didn’t have to rip anything out. He is such a classy guy. It took great courage to pivot and change the first clue and take a stance that he will not allow posts of the original clue 1. So far I am loving my colour choices and the pattern. Fingers crossed that I will love the rest. Thanks for another lovely episode. I look forward to seeing which sweater you decide to make next. Both the sweater patterns and yarns look amazing.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Thanks for your note. I feel your pain with the Flax sweater. How are these tiny kids sweaters taking so long :). I agree, Stephen West is top notch and what a classy guy. I am following the MKAL hashtag and like the revised clue 1 very much.

[@lsdev4229]

Great episode Mari! Love your striped sweater...great colours. 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Thanks so much!

[@carrieturner557]

I test knit the Karamelli too!! Love your version. Such a great knit.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Ooo I want to see yours

[@donnarasor5662]

That tiny sock! So much fun. Thanks for sharing about your favorite sock styles. I'm still seeking my best fit.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

So fun to explore the best fit…and can be a lot of work😅

[@mongrain8934]

❤❤❤

[@quil10it]

How adorable are you! That was a fun podcast. Thank you for sharing…

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Oh thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for watching

[@dianescott3515]

I was so glad to find your channel on Needles At The Ready podcast. You are delightful to listen to and have beautiful projects. I subscribed and look forward to all the episodes😊

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Thank you so much! I am hoping to get a new episode in tomorrow before we have family visiting (and i need to clean the house 🤪). Thanks so much for watching and your lovely comment.

[@katieanncarochi3723]

Hello neighbor! I live close by in Cañon City. I too love to knit and also crochet. I heard about your podcast by watching the Grocery Girls Knit podcast. I’ve enjoyed watching your podcast! 🙂

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Hi there! Thanks so much for watching.

[@melissasandoval2723]

Hi Mari! I found you recently through Needles at the Ready. I started with your first episode and binged through all of them in a couple of days! Showing your vulnerability is so brave! I have never commented on any of the (many) knitting podcasts that I watch. But I enjoy your content so much that I wanted to show my support! I really connected to you when you were getting ready for your first knitting travel adventure, as I did the same earlier this year. I was a nervous ball of excitement and came back so fulfilled! Can't wait for my next! I also really appreciate you working so hard to make each episode better. Your hard work is paying off! Looking forward to many more episodes and FOs!

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. It’s been so fun chatting about knitting. Thanks for your support ❤️

[@hildaandrews8150]

I know exactly what you mean about an evening brain sometimes being ridiculous. If I think I’ve made a mistake and can’t figure it out, waiting until morning is the solution. Your knits are beautiful. I was glad to hear your compassionate support for Stephen West.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Exactly!! Thank you so much for your support and kind words.

[@Meredith36]

I love your energy! It's such a fun watch. The quilt is enchanting. Happy knitting and creating! 💚🧶💚

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Thank you so much!

[@irinap747]

I'm not as compassionate to SW as you are, because he is a creator and he will survive. Is it that we are having such a wonderful and easy life that we are forgetting everything, so we don't care about the unknown people affected? WWII and decades after, it meant tragedy for so many. I like your knitting, so perhaps I will keep watching you.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

I completely hear you and agree that we forget all too often. Complete tragedy that continues to affect so many.

[@sunny_vale7]

Love your podcasts! Could you please show how you do this "sewn" bind off? It looks fabulous 🙂

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Ok I will try to link some tutorials and maybe show it. It’s a great tool

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Thanks for watching ❤️

[@christinahaskell5059]

“I always tell people I have feet shaped like birkenstocks.” Girl, you and me both!! 😂 I also have good luck with a heel flap and gusset. Thanks for another great podcast!

[@ColoradoKnitter]

😅

[@Wendybookknits]

Hi Mari! I just found your podcast and love the sweater your wearing! It's in my RaveIry queue now and I like the three color version better then the four. I went back and watched another episode that featured your Daily Pullover. It's one of my favorites too and want to knit another one like you. Mine is a rust color and it does pill a lot but I just glean it.. I love the patterns and colors you pick... Right up my alley😊 and I am looking forward to your next episode❤ Check out the new podcast: Those Twins that Knit. Love it

[@ColoradoKnitter]

A rust daily pullover! Yes please❤ I’m looking that podcast up right now! Thanks

[@netty062]

I;m going to make those tree socks and include them on gifts this year with a little hanger to go on the Christmas tree.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Yes! I love that. They will be so cute

[@shamszakhour6076]

That's Niji sweater is SO CUTE!!! (I'm also drawn to the red.) I hadn't heard about the mkal controversy, and you didn't really clue us in, so I had to go find another podcast (pausing yours) and watch that to learn what happened. Poor SW. People should cut him some slack.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Yes I’m glad you learned about what happened.

[@PamKnitsToo]

Love your podcasts and the tiny socks. I can’t wait to give them a try.

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Have fun!❤

[@thepegsterlovestoknit1639]

Hello, What is the name of the app (or link) for the Apple Watch that you were speaking of?

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Knitting row for watch it looks like a little yarn ball

[@thepegsterlovestoknit1639]

Thank you so much. Loving your podcast by the way!! @@ColoradoKnitter

[@goldwest53]

I might be wrong, but my opinion about the MKAL is damage control. Again, the woke community, aka Karen, have won again. He didn’t want to go the way of Knitmagicial and Kristy Glass. That 1st Claus looked about as much like a hate sign and a pinwheel! I guess that will be banned next. That’s all I have to say about that. 😊 I’m binging through your pod cast since all I do all day is knit! 😅 Can you be my adopted knitting daughter?!?! ❤

[@ColoradoKnitter]

Yay! I just want to knit all day! You all have kept me company while I clean the house (booo)-from your knitting daughter :)
