I love all your varied projects and plans. Love that you are building your nephew and niece’s knit wardrobes.

[@maureenlehman139]

It’s wonderful the kids are so knitworthy. I knit for my nieces and the love my knits. Always love to see what your working on.

[@suebrown436]

Isn't it lovely when there are knitworthy people in your family? I love knitting for my grandchildren: sweaters and mittens.

[@estherrubin867]

Thank you for sharing the wonderful outdoor adventures you’re both doing with your niece and nephew. They’re learning so much from you and will fondly hold onto the memories of these days. I made a quilt for my grandson when he was 5, but you’re inspiring me to make him another one where he can weigh in on color choices and design now that he’s 7. BTW, I have the same Featherweight as you do and, although I have a fancy new machine, my preference is always to sew on my Featherweight. It was my mom’s which makes it all the more special. Take care and thanks so much for sharing and inspiring.

[@FiberTrek]

Thank you Esther. Yes, my featherweight has really carved out a place in the piecing line-up. It was my grandmother's so it also holds a vast amount of sentiment. Have fun with your grandson, I like it when they can comment and offer their style preferences...unless of course it's all neons and pink ;)

[@estherrubin867]

You’ve got an exciting variety of projects to work on. Having just finished a quilt top and hoping to get it ready for hand-quilting very soon, my planning is now turning back to knitting. I’m making a pair of socks for a friend, and have completed a cowl but have yet to settle on a sweater project that I can sink my teeth into. Thank you again for taking the time to share so much with us. Enjoy your vacation from school.

[@elizabethgabriellewillox8327]

Another lovely episode, thank you. On catch up but zipping thru them. Was delighted to see another Turning of the year. Thank you x

[@pathowes32]

Sarah, love your podcast. So so many projects. I would be lost. You definitely can handle all the yarns and patterns. Enjoy your school vacation. Well deserved❤️

[@andreamarshall9677]

Lovely episode, Sarah! Your videos are a favorite! You are quite an accomplished knitter! Gorgeous patterns and yarns. Best wishes!

[@jillp1992]

Love Simple Weave as well.

[@KnitMyWayHome]

Easy wins! I’m so here for easy wins these days. 😉 That yarn from Nicole is dreamy! ❤️ And those colours in the Yell are just singing!!! Thanks for taking us on a little tour of your creative adventures. It’s always fun to see what you are working on! Big hug from the Yukon.

[@catherinecunningham7126]

I love that you do so many arts and crafts but always show your knitting. I make similar muffins. I haven’t made them in awhile but you’ve inspired me to! 🌸🌷🌻

[@feltaria9177]

Everything is so gorgeous in your episodes but your hair is stunning in this one. I have roots and shoots in my queue so I’m looking forward to seeing how yours turns out 🧡

[@FiberTrek]

Well thanks a million!

[@gigi2fun]

I love your channel, I belong I’m on video number 3!! I have tried to knit and just cannot get it. Your work is absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@lynntimmer1620]

I so enjoyed watching this episode. Your completed sweater for your niece is beautiful. The quilting and weaving are interesting to see. I quilted years ago and appreciate seeing your work. The starching is something I hadn't heard about; it makes perfect sense. My ears tuned in when you mentioned your friend Nicole. If it's who I'm thinking of, I hope she's doing well. Happy crafting!

[@donnajohnson9834]

Lovely projects. That unidentified light gray brings to mind (!) Mindful folks Finn/mohair from Hannah.

[@FiberTrek]

Yes, her skeins are so gorgeous.

[@patticlark9321]

The baby quilt is going to be so sweet! When you mentioned about using the spray starch for a gift, I was wondering if you will pre wash the quilt before you gift/ use it or doesn’t it make a difference in any way as far as being next to skin? Your enthusiasm is very contagious so now I’m off to make a pot of soup, a loaf of blueberry bread and crochet. ♥️

[@FiberTrek]

I sure did wash it! Like four times ;) But that was because of the chalk incident. I would've washed and dried it once prior o gifting though.

[@shishimac3033]

❤I’ve been wanting to make a carved rigid Heddle! You have nudged me to order her book and I think a blank too! Beautiful knitting too! I enjoy everything you do and feel like a kindred spirit. ❤

[@FiberTrek]

Oh! I'm so thrilled! Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment!

[@wendysullivan5511]

Ha, I can see I am not the only one who plans a month’s worth of projects for a week’s vacation 😂! Hope the ice holds/is thick enough for your family to enjoy ice fishing. I love your muffins-is the dark color from cocoa powder?? I have a book of 20+ muffin recipes, and I feel some experimentation coming on…be well Sarah and enjoy your break!

[@FiberTrek]

I think the dark colors must come from the dark brown sugar and the flax meal. But adding cocoa might be a fun experiment too!

[@conniebuchner4715]

Just love watching your videos. I was going to tell you that there is a weaver Kelly Marshall in Minnesota. I took a bobbin lace class from her. You might be interested in her weaving book. She teaches classes. Wonderful woman ❤

[@kerrymcg722]

Thank you so much for another great video! Can you please tell me what pattern is the sweater you are wearing and which wool you used, it just looks so cozy! Thank you. Have a wonderful vacation!

[@marthamason3922]

I was just looking to see if I could find pattern name myself. I love that single cable panel down the front.

[@jennymarklund3367]

Mee too! Would love to know!

[@FiberTrek]

Oh dear...sorry to be late on this one. It is the Carden by Jennifer Wood Designs.

[@FiberTrek]

It's the Carden by Jennifer Wood!

[@kerrymcg722]

@@FiberTrek Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful Easter with your family!

[@maggieheilmann5905]

Check out the book called “Walk” by Jacquie Gering! it’s all about quilting with your walking foot.

[@FiberTrek]

Got it! Thank you!
