[@SylviaMahoney-sg5pt]

No, no Liz don't think most of us are thinking "negative" about the "notes" to yourself. I learn so much from you and your feedback and ideas are so helpful. (especially the fit) Cheers!

[@Opaleye36]

please yes on the sweater series, I’m a super new knitter and I’m too intimidated to start a garment 😭

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finish and your progress on all your knitting projects. Happy knitting!

[@marjoriemade]

awhhh! the hank tote bag! how precious 💖 you’re the best KAL partner and i am very grateful for your guidance as a knitting newbie. i am obsessed with everything you’re working on and added several patterns to my wishlist 😋

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

thanks friend!!! 🫶🏼

[@freemak1]

I would love a tutorial by you on knitting a sweater! Your tutorials on cross stitch are wonderful.

[@tinalawrence7491]

Omg yes please do a sweater series. I love uncrustables too!!

[@alecsgirl]

I like all your “notes to self”. I do the same whenever I finish a sweater. I really wish I liked knitting garments more than once. I feel like I’m still trying to figure out my magic numbers for each sweater style (eg: raglan, drop shoulder, set-in sleeve, round yoke, etc.). Then there’s the fact that my style changes as I age. I don’t think it comes across as negative or overly critical.

[@ednasanabia4650]

Thanks for another great video. Am a beginner knitter who’s afraid of sweaters so yes to video on that. Loved the end comments on how creative outlet helps manage stress!

[@melissaj8384]

Your hair is on pointe! Beautiful cut and color. Loving your knitting -- oh my stars!

[@genevievegiella9066]

Love ❤️ Love alllll your knitting 🧶 projects…. Keep them coming please …. You inspire me 🎉 YOUR LAVENDER SWEATER LOOKS AMAZING ON YOU

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Liz...such beautiful sweaters, hat, and shawl...love your yarn choices...best wishes ❤❤

[@melissamiller2252]

So fun to see all your progress. I have never knit a single stitch, but I would love to have a sock video to try and learn. I don’t think I would dare try a sweater until I had confirmed I could knit a sock, or maybe a hat 😂😂

[@elizabethconley9956]

Your Cumulus Tee is so cute. I like the different color at the bottom. You can't hardly notice, and it's handmade.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you!!

[@elizabethcohron4572]

I always have more fun when someone holds my hand, especially with knitting. I can knit a very little, just the knit stitch. Seeing all your lovelies makes me want to do more.

[@deb5146]

The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park would be a perfect destination. You would be a few minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park where you could walk in the snow. Estes has a beautiful yarn and fabric store downtown. Lily Lake in Estes Park is also a beautiful area to walk. Colorado Cross Stitch is in Fort Collins about an hour from Estes Park. Estes Park would be about 2 1/2 to 3 hr drive from the airport in Denver.

[@empm1330]

Hi Liz love watching all your knitting projects. They all are beautiful and love the colors you choose on your projects. Look forward to seeing your next video In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you!

[@beckycollins7144]

Yes, I would love a knitting sweater tutorial. I am a brand new knitter and need some hand holding for sure!

[@paulettehoward1272]

Your Alpine sweater is beautiful. I can’t wait to see it finished.😊

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you!!

[@susanmccoy1992]

Beautiful knitting! It makes me want to knit a sweater, but I haven’t knit in years!!

[@sharonwilliams6787]

I live my knitting self through you! My mil taught me knitting eons ago and I would live to have you showing me the way to get back to knitting a very basic pattern. Who doesn't live p&j and chicken nuggets or tenders? That shawl is beautiful and shilos is amazing!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you!!

[@paulamcmellon6171]

Would love the video on knitting a sweater. I’ve knit a few before but am far from proficient and I’ve learned a lot just from your videos when you take us through your process. Your knitting is spectacular 💕❤

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

thank you so much!

[@alibradley4135]

Yes please to handholding x if you would consider sock knitting help that would be good too after watching some of your earlier blogs I’ve started a pair - cast on and then I’m scared to go any further on 3 needles which I’ve never done before 😂😂😂. Thank you for your vlogs x

[@jackiedamico8455]

Thanks for a fun project recap. Would love to see a sweater tutorial from you… I’d join right away…have a great week ahead 😊

[@SandraEvenson-Hagen]

Oh my, such beautiful sweaters! I so admire people who can knit. Thanks for sharing your projects. I hope that you can get a little non skiing vacation in this winter. 😊

[@beckyearl5008]

Yes please, do a video for a beginning sweater maker. I have no idea what gauge is, swatching, how to pick up stitches if you accidentally drop them … and the list goes on. I want to teach myself this winter. So many terms I don’t understand. If you have any specific videos that helped you, please mention them! Thank you

[@rumpzafamily]

Love all the knitting, Liz. I'm with you on knitting with fun colors... and yet I wear "quieter " colors. I have a gorgeous cashmere hot pink/coral shawl I made. I adore looking at it and touching it. But it feels so loud to wear! LOL

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

hehe exactly! I feel like as I get older I'm just going to lean into my wild and crazy colors more

[@anne-mariecox2825]

love your videos. I would love it if you put together a series of videos to help knitters . I have become quite confident knitting socks with a shadow wrap heel, I want to knit a sweater but it feels very daunting

[@jennifergregory4219]

I would LOVE any knitting tutorials you would film, I am a brand new knitter and have tried a couple simple garments, but would love your expertise!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Ok good to know! I need to find a good, free, beginner pattern and try it out!

[@darlenedavis3585]

Your sweaters are all incredible. I love the color of your Musselburgh Hat. You are making great progress on everything.

[@laurakelly492]

Excellent job Liz!!

[@beckygwynn]

Start all the things! The WIPs will be there when you're ready for them 😊

[@dobleman2370]

Thanks, Liz for sharing all of your fall knitting projects. They are all beautiful. Have a great couple of weeks. Diane

[@jackiesstitches1239]

I would plan the exact same ski vacation! I might add a horse drawn sleigh ride. Have you ever tried Stephen Wests Weavin Stephen method of weaving in ends as you go? Always love seeing what you’re up to! Especially love hearing your pros and cons of each project. It’s a good way for others to grow their skills!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

I have tried the weavin stephen method but I felt like I could always see where my ends were from the front, so I definitely haven't mastered that yet!

[@lisaproefrock]

Your knitting is gorgeous!

[@lavenderlilystitches]

I love to hear what you would do differently when you finish a project, sometimes I wouldn’t notice the aspects you describe if you didn’t point them out…I don’t see it as being negative, more realistic…much better than portrayal of perfection all the tome….makes the rest of us feel inadequate! ❤Yes please to a hold your hand sweater make a long I used to knit garments in the 80’s but have never knit top down or on circulars/ in the round…I knit one pair of socks each year using a different technique…on my third pair using 9” circulars! Love all your crafts and presentations…about to make some project bags using your tutorial….would you mind showing us please how you store stitch markers and progress markers? Thanks!❤

[@alecsgirl]

Ooh not a new knitter, but I have a recommendation for your sweater series. I would recommend either the Flax or the Harvest by Tin Can Knits. They are both free, well-written simple patterns (and I’ve actually knit both more than once). But the extra wonderful thing is that they’re designed for baby to adult, so someone could follow along with the baby size, if an adult garment was too overwhelming for a new knitter. I think you’d be an excellent teacher!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Oooh that’s an EXCELLENT idea, thank you!! 💖

[@Strickbirgit]

You can carry the yarn up in the I-Cord. I think there is a tutorial from Stephen West about it.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

oooh I'm off to google that right now!

[@jud2171]

Laughing because I said to my husband I am inspired to knit the cumulus Tee so I'm ordering yarn !! he said, what about all the things you have started for christmas gifts. LOL He's right I'll wait until after the Holliday's so I totally get what you mean about starting something new to make you feel better....

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Hehe thankfully my husband has stopped asking “but what about the sweater you started last week…” 😂

[@jud2171]

@ 😂

[@donnaboyd5108]

Good luck on your knitting WIPS. They all are so pretty!

[@kima9181]

A new start always cheers me up - awesome colour on you!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thanks! I'm loving it! 💖

[@PatriciaHup]

Your knitting is stunning. Everything looks gorgeous. 😊

[@donnawalker3910]

I'm 70 years old and I LOVE Uncrustables! Grape jelly only, please. My youngest was in middle school when Uncrustables were first in the grocery stores, 1999, and I've been buying a couple of boxes a month ever since. Why are they so much better than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich you make yourself? Don't know, but they are.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

soooo much better! but i'm a strawberry jelly girl 😂

[@connieenevold1745]

Last I checked, didn’t see any knit police either😉. A start is one step closer to a finish. It’s a hobby, enjoy it!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Yesss thank you! 😊

[@heden1460]

The color of the cognac sweater looks great on you.

[@jeanneantha2832]

Good video, love to see your knitting. On the shawl, you could just weave in 5 or 6 ends every time you knit on it. It would only take a minute or so and would get rid of at least some of the ends as you go.

[@AmniconStudio]

The Alpine Bloom looks beautiful.

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

Thank you!!

[@row_berta_dee]

Would LOVE a follow-along for a sweater tutorial. Even for your stripe hype, there can be tips or techniques you can share without sharing pattern details. For example how you switch colors, or how you make edits as you go along.

[@brandistoker]

Three year olds have the best taste in food. Can never go wrong with the food they choose.😅 PBJ is the best meal ever!

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

ok right??

[@charlottemiller3566]

I would love if you did a tutorial for beginners and we were able to do it together!! I love all your knitting.

[@allisonhiggins7923]

Looove the purple sweater

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

😘😘

[@debrascott8341]

Yes! I need you to hold my hand while I try a 1st sweater🫣

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

Dear Elizabeth, you need no knitting notes...they are all so fun and lovely. However, you do require travel notes. Please check out cross country skiing. So MUCH easier than snow shoeing. If you can walk, you can cross country ski. And it is fun and you get to wear the cute snow clothing without the stomping boots and padded pants. You can rent the skiis as well. You can do it in one of your lovely sweaters and your hat. No helmet. :)

[@kathierichards3531]

You are an excellent teacher so whatever you tackle will be helpful. Would you consider (boring?) how you block? Thanks so much

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

oh yes I would definitely include blocking in an overall how to knit a sweater series!

[@debwinslow5888]

Can you decrease some stitches and jump up to a size 5 needle for your alpine bloom sweater?

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

❤❤

[@sherriflood2699]

Love watching your KZbin channel. I use to knit years ago and now I so want to knit a pair of socks . What size needle do you use?

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

I like to use US 1.5 for my socks!

[@sherriflood2699]

@ thank you!

[@dawnsabo5664]

I love all your projects!! I have a question... when starting the Musselbrough (?) Hat, can you use circular needles or do you absolutely need DPN's???😊

[@elizabethanncanstitch]

I’m pretty sure Knitty Natty has a tutorial showing how to start it using a circular needle magic loop style!

[@dawnsabo5664]

@@elizabethanncanstitch thank you so much!!!!
