This was my first time watching you and I loved it. I enjoyed seeing all of your projects and seeing so may that I have already put on my list to do. It is fun to see the yarns you tried as I always enjoy investigating new ones. Thank you and I look forward to viewing future episodes with you.

[@granolagear]

Thank you so much for watching I’m glad you enjoyed!! I have a long list as well for this new year 😂

[@katykoe]

omg i LOVE all your pieces!! congrats on so many amazing garments this past year 🤍🧤

[@granolagear]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@catherinecherniak8197]

Honesty much appreciated! I knit a dozen hats (8 were Boston Red Sox beanies for my fam 😄), 4 partial sweaters, 2 1/2 pairs of socks, 1 scarf, half a vest, and a Christmas ornament. I'm a slow knitter that is very polygamous, lol!

[@granolagear]

That’s so awesome! (I live in the Boston area so I love the hats)😁

[@sinkboat1270]

Did not even recognize you, but your Monday sweater was a HUGE help in me deciding to use up a bunch of second hand dk yarn i got from Vinted and i am actually knitting on it as i watch this! All these knits look incredible though :D

[@granolagear]

That’s awesome! I really think it’s an excellent pattern for messing around with scrap yarn!

[@KnitsInColor]

I appreciate your honesty and that you use thrifted yarn! I love seeing your interesting combinations and what some of these patterns look like knit up in something besides the (very expensive) suggested yarns!

[@granolagear]

Haha yes I don’t believe in suggested yarns 😂 it’s a fun treat maybe if you can swing it, but I think the adventure of using what you’ve got a lot more interesting

[@BrendaBeckett-ob8wf]

I love watching these “all I knit” videos and I found your podcast because of it. You have an impressive amount of makes for a year! I was literally saying “32,000” when you told us how much you knit 😂 I grew up near Boston and live in Maine so the opposite of you. My biggest knitting feat this year was to make five ranunculus sweaters for my bookgroup for Christmas. All long sleeved, and most of them with yarn from stash so that’s a win.

[@granolagear]

Me too, it's a great way to find new people! You're the first person who's let me know your guess which is totally awesome haha. I haven't knit a ranunculus yet, but 5 is impressive! I love a big gift knit project for people who appreciate them :)

[@anneosullivan4107]

Thank you Emma. Well done! Great work. Yes, the frustrating thing about knitting is when it doesn't work out as planned. It is so rewarding when it does. ☺️ It is indeed a learning process. Best wishes with your 2025 plans. 🥰

[@granolagear]

Thank you! Yea I love the rewarding feeling of finishing no matter how it turns out, sometimes I just have to grow to love a piece 😊

[@clairegasson4187]

You have been busy! What a fun and interesting podcast, thank you

[@granolagear]

Thank you for watching!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

This was such a fun video! I just posted my own year in knits for 2024 and I know how much work it is, so thanks so much for sharing your makes! Here's to more creativity and making in 2025!

[@granolagear]

Thank you so much for joining me! It was a lot of fun:)

[@AdventurerKnits]

I love the Monday sweater and you’ve inspired me to use stuff I have to get to DK wt! What a year!! I’m a new knitter and started my channel in March. Yours was one of the first I began watching. So inspiring!

[@granolagear]

That’s awesome! I think the Monday sweater is such a great pattern to mess around with! Just simple enough you can have fun with the yarn

[@JREH21]

Love a a lot of your knit choices. Some of your summer knits looked great over your long sleeve sweater and the lace knit that you didn’t like you could wear as an extra layer underneath for warmth

[@granolagear]

Thank you! I’m excited to get a whole season to try and wear them this year and figure out what I wear the most!

[@thecozysoulknits]

Loved getting to see everything you made last year! I love your scrappy monday sweaters! The colors you chose go together so well for each of them! I also had some knits this year that took me a while to realized I actually loved them after first finishing them 😂Sometime you just need space from your makes

[@granolagear]

Thank you! Yes I think sometimes by the time I finish a project I don’t even want to look at it anymore, then after a little time and distance I remember why I liked the pattern or yarn so much 😂

[@TheCornDavis]

The little "do do do" when you changed was so adorable 💖

[@granolagear]

Haha, the product of all my puttering around the house alone😂

[@jeanette6396]

I live in the midwest. Really hot, humid summers. I only use linen or linen/ cotton in fingering or sport weight. Tried lion brand Coboo, a cotton/rayon dk and its too hot. Wish i could use part wool yarn in the summer, cause its so much nicer to knit with. Really like your cobalt/peach Friday tee! You're right that the blue makes the peach work for you. .

[@granolagear]

The knitting for Olive cotton merino is 80% cotton so I’m hoping it’ll be a good option that’s not purely cotton. We’ll see this next summer!

[@oliviaoconnor2201]

As a new englander who lives in Northern Norway now, the summers are wildly different ❤ I am excited to make wooly summer pieces because the summers here can be chilly and I need some light wool garments 😅

[@granolagear]

That is actually so validating to know 😂 I didn’t know if I just couldn’t handle it or if it was really just a climate thing 💕

[@wendyamsterdam8482]

I think 25C is really warm in that region

[@oliviaoconnor2201]

@wendyamsterdam8482 the concepts of warm and cold are relative, but to me, from NE with hot, humid summers, Norway (especially where I live) has chilly, rainy summers. Humidity is low, you have lots of rain and wind.

[@granolagear]

That makes a lot of sense! I grew up with very cold winters, but it makes sense that NE is much more humid in the summer

[@wendyamsterdam8482]

Im a new knitter and I have made 3 hats, one cowl and 1 sock in 2024 (the other sock was finished in this year😉) Now I have started a vest but the amount of knitting I have to do for a whole garment is very intimidating

[@granolagear]

Once you’ve finished a garment the world really is your oyster! You can do anything :) Good luck, you’ve got it!

[@RondyaStevenson]

Your fish sweater is the best thing ever

[@granolagear]

Thank you! The pattern is getting really popular right now, I think I need to knit myself one!

[@sandramagar1565]

Really enjoyed your projects and summaries of the pros/cons for each of them. You have a lovely presentation style. Happy that you have figured out your relationship with yellow!

[@granolagear]

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed! My grandma always used to tell me she hated the color yellow and I thought she was being silly, now I realize maybe it's genetic...LOL

[@slubloverstitches]

the long tank tops from 2003 😭 am guilty. thanks for sharing! so many great pieces

[@granolagear]

Haha yes, I’m sure they’ll be back at some point 😉😂

[@SharonCodyCowgirlCreations]

Impressive amount of makes!! I always enjoy seeing what you create and hearing honest opinions on the finished make. I also like seeing what you do with thrifted/recycled yarn. Happy New Year!

[@granolagear]

Thank you I appreciate you watching!! Happy new year 😊

[@vickifenlon2235]

Love your straight on honesty. Wow! You have been productive! I'm still working on getting a whole pair of socks made without errors!

[@granolagear]

Haha I like when people tell me the honest truth about their experiences so I try to do the same! And I’m someone who needs to keep my hands moving and I read a lot so that’s really to blame 😂

[@pekaspi1]

I love your work and presentations.

[@granolagear]

Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@laurens9878]

the twist loop top is so pretty and the color you chose is perfect... i might have to put that on my 2025 knit list

[@granolagear]

It’s a fab color fr!

[@CarolineSdm]

Lovely knits! I especially like how the November Neck turned out, gorgeous colors😍

[@granolagear]

Yes I’m so obsessed, I don’t usually buy skeins without a specific project in mind but I’m glad I couldn’t resist that one!

[@skispinner]

Loved your way of showing all your knits for the year. First time you showed up on my “to watch” videos. Glad you did. Where do you find most of your thrifted yarn? Do you disassemble sweaters?

[@granolagear]

I unravel sweaters I thrifted and I also pick up a decent number of skeins, usually single ones!

[@DohnnasCrazyCasa]

I looove the monday sweaters, they look so comfy!!

[@granolagear]

They are!! I think it’s a fantastic cozy raglan pattern :)

[@warchiefoomii]

The halibut is the best one and the size is perfect for you. It actually looks so nice that I have decided to temporarily abandon my current Kaffe Fassett coat WIP and go into the new year making the fishies. Just so happens that my LYS is open tomorrow, ehehehe :D Totally get you about self striping yarns and yellow btw. Got the cutest two skeins of Noro Uchiwa last summer, knitted an oversized lacy kimono sleeve top thing that looked great on me, realised there was way too much yellow (and orange), frogged it after it had sat untouched in my closet for two months. It is has since become my partner´s roller rink sweater.

[@granolagear]

Thank you, I'll have to knit myself one this year I think! And yes stripey yarns can be so hit or miss, they look nice in the skein but worked up they can vary so significantly.

[@KarenMcNeil-en2fn]

What a lovely selection of knitting. You are very talented 🙂

[@granolagear]

Thank you! And thank you for watching :)

[@mannliie]

omg instead of frogging, try giving the yellow april cardi to your mom, maybe she will like the more fitted sleeves

[@granolagear]

Sadly she’s a size or two larger than me so I don’t think she’d be able to wear it, I really just should have knit a medium to begin with. But I think I have a plan for what I’m going to do with it now!

[@Elizkleincaz]

I was thinking that dyeing it might work too!

[@granolagear]

I plan on frogging, reknitting into a new sweater, then overdying the whole thing!

[@verina_crochet_garden]

The friday tee and the darkblue vest are my favourites. I wanna make them too. The deep and bright cool colors look so nice on you then you look kind of like snowwhite. ⛄ I get the feeling of knitting something the wrong size 🫣 that happened to me when I knit my first sweater this year, the "Hokkaido Sweater". I was sooooo confused during knitting it, and in the end I had calculated my gauge very wrong so instead of size L it turned out size XXL. And I frogged it from bottom to chest and remade it a bit different with putting it on to see how wide it needs to be. Now I'm a bit scared to try patterns again 😅

[@granolagear]

Thank you, those are two of my favs too! Actually it would be fun to do a ranking video but I don’t know if could decide 😂 I started the Esther jacket this December and I had to frog the whole first section because my gauge was sooo off even though I was using the exact yarn the sample was in! There’s no winning sometimes

[@verina_crochet_garden]

​@@granolagear that's a bummer if the gauge didn't work out.😓 But I saw a really nice free sweater pattern from pompomxhobbii called "Adorned Pullover" maby that's something you like? Actually I'm more a crochet person, I make plushies (amigurumi) but I got into knitting. I find knitting patterns kinda hard to understand 😅 but I found another one I'm trying now called "drops strawberry bright sweater". It has a circular increase and is the first pattern I try to knit topdown. I do make it in mint

[@granolagear]

I used to only crochet! But it came with too many wrist problems so I learned to knit continental style which hasn’t cause any pain which is awesome :)

[@verina_crochet_garden]

@granolagear I imagine. In your video you made so many things. Do you make like one piece a month or have multiple things you work on at the same time?

[@granolagear]

I usually have 3-4 projects going at once, I switch projects whenever I feel like it to stay entertained:)

[@diamantina2609]

Love this video! I’m very interested in your thrift finds because I have cashmere in 2 weights. The color is ice blue (not good for me) and I have 300gr in 2 stiches icord and 600gr in 4 stiches icord. It was very fun to disassemble and I have all washed and in skeins. Now I don’t know what to do with them. Happy new year 🎉 greetings from Switzerland

[@granolagear]

I’ve probably got 4 unraveled sweaters in my stash right now! I’m working through some sweater quantities of “normal” yarn right now but I’m hoping to get back to the unraveled soon! I personally think it’s the most sensible was to buy cashmere haha

[@heatherlynnewest]

I knit 47 items, mostly for myself.

[@granolagear]

Wow that’s amazing!

[@L-x_x]

lol knitting the halibut swearter for my bf rightnow, even with the same colorcombo

[@granolagear]

Haha it’s a great gift project!

[@heatherr9201]

For the yellow cardigan … maybe overdye it?

[@granolagear]

I would if the fit was better, I totally forgot that the first time I knit the pattern it was a medium. I’m thinking I’ll reknit it into the champagne pullover by sari nordlund than overdye to a dark red!

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Garment bags in machine felt item 😮

[@granolagear]

They can, you just have to be careful, I don't worry too much about cashmere in a garment bag. Most of my knits I only wash by hand if necessary.

[@larissatindall7724]

I enjoyed seeing all that you knit.🧶. I am in the process of knitting Christmas stockings for my family, they are the same patterns as yours (plus 1 more pattern)- what a sweet surprise.

[@granolagear]

That’s awesome! I’ve knit stockings for my husband and I, and they’re my favorite!
