17:00 girlie get needle stoppers! They have literally saved my life 10/10 ⭐️

[@libbymattern9864]

This is literally my favorite yarn channel! I absolutely love how welcoming and friendly Mandy is! It just feels like we share so many values!

[@knitsbymandy]

Thank you for this sweet comment, I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel!

[@rosalie4069]

I agree 100% ❤️

[@juliaw7624]

Omg I thought I was the only one having a scratchy feel from the drops kid silk because so many people are really fond of it!! Mayflower being a nicer alternative will hopefully save my itchy skin

You can add short rows right after you finish a circular yoke in the back for patterns that don't have short rows included! i usually just wing it and knit to x sts after middle, turn work, and mirror the gsrs back and forth so there's 3,4 cm of height difference in the back of the garment.

LOL I also STRUGGLED with oslo hat!!! I felt so stupid for not understanding a popular hat pattern and was almost ashamed to ask about it online. My gauge was super off as well and the hat turned wayyyy to small. I rarely frog a whole project, but this oslo hat was ripped out and re-knitted. The end result was quite cute and it was gifted to my friend :)

Hi Mandy! Your cardigan is absolutely beautiful and the color is stunning on you. Also, just wanted to say thank you for giving mini-explanations of various knitting terms & techniques (like when you explained short rows). As a new knitter, sometimes I can get lost in all of the new terminology, so your explanations are very much appreciated!

[@chloehalonen2191]

You have so much knowledge, thank you for sharing! ❤

Just came across your podcast all the way down under Melbourne, Australia. Also just subscribed.

You look so gorgeous in that pink! The cardigan is exquisite... Thanks for the short row link, Im drowning when it comes to short rows. Another fab podcast!

1000% yes on the Oslo construction. It was SO confusing the first time I made it. But I will say it’s worth it. I love my FO so much, and it’s definitely one of my favorites.

[@suemcevoy5510]

Mandy, your Whitmore cardi is beautiful!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Your Whitmoor Cardigan is the perfect color! Love the fingerless gloves too.

[@nicolettepeters]

[@knitsbymandy]

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I just love your videos Mandy. ❤

[@knitsbymandy]

Thank you Tayler! I so enjoy yours as well

If you ever want to knit something else for somebody and you want easy care, try Berrocco Vintage. It comes in worsted and DK and I love it so much. It's a dream to work with and makes such a nice fabric - plus it's wool/acrylic so it's super easy care.

[@knitsbymandy]

This is great to know, thanks for the recommendation.

[@mickiwhite4754]

In one of Kim and Jonna's podcasts Jonna goes into detail about the Oslo Hat......lots of tips. Nonetheless Kim said she still had issues with the pattern and went as far as to suggest that the designer do an update with better explanations. I don't know. I knit the Oslo Hat mohair version and I don't recall any issues......that pattern had an update 🤔 Great podcast!

[@Carly03]

I have the same Mayflower yarn and I was wondering what to make with it! Now I know ☺️ Your cardigan is gorgeous!!

[@fepeter8975]

Would love to hear how you found the shorties set (ie was it worth the price? I've been considering grabbing it because I hate magic loop as well lool)

[@danielletrottier6699]

Your withmoor is gorgeous ! Could you please write to me the boutique for the bottons. Thank you, I know you mentioned it but I am a french speaking person.

[@katrinevognstrup5963]

hi!! i really enjoyed listening to this while knitting! the oslo hat was the very first thing i ever knitted and i have made multiple since. try looking up the videos on it that kimmie munkholm has made - she is the one who makes explanation videos specifically for petiteknit's patterns! that video helped me so much the first time i knitted this pattern!

[@knitsbymandy]

Hehe I did watch those videos, mental block remains 😅
