I'm so excited that your video was recommended. I'm a newer knitter, and I've been looking for some black knitting podcasters. I'm about to learn magic loop this weekend, then I hope to knit my first garment: the Petite Knit Friday Slipover!

Hi Tamara, thanks for stopping by, you really made my day! It’s so cool to meet other black knitters on here 💖 Can literally feel your excitement over here! The Friday Slipover is such a good staple 😍 Which yarn are you planning on using?

@@themakingskye I’m not sure yet - the yarn world is still overwhelming to me. Do you have any recommendations?

[@themakingskye]

I love working with Drops yarns they are very cost effective and the quality is top notch! Also love Hobbii to shop for yarn, their friends merino and mohair is really nice 😊 but if you have a yarn store near you I’d also check that out so you can get a feel of what you like 🥰

@@themakingskyethank you! I’ve seen Drops recommended a bunch of times. Do you shop more in person or online? I like my local shop, but sometimes their colors are limited.

[@themakingskye]

To be honest I shop for yarn online a lot, for the same reason! But I also do a lot of research and watch reviews if available so I get a better idea of how the yarn acts 😊

Omg finally someone who can relate, the struggle is so real, girl! Sometimes I’m really contemplating cutting them off just so I can wear my sweaters in peace 😂😂 anyways thanks so much for stopping by! 🥰
