I love the sweater you have on!!

[@knitwithkali]

Tysm!

[@moi3chats]

Omg I also had the similar experience when I first got into knitting in 2021. I fell in love with Petite Knit's Maude tee. That was my first purchase from her. The pattern was too advanced for me at the time (probably still is), and same thing like you I forgot about my goal. The pattern got tucked away in a notebook binder. Once in a while I'll take a look at it but haven't felt the desire to start knitting it. I've been following your blog on the recent Sweden trip.. then came across this podcast today. I heard your story of why you got into Petite knit. I've been keeping these thoughts to myself but now to hear someone said them outloud, I couldn't help but smiled. How cool is this!😅 thanks for sharing your story!

[@knitwithkali]

Awww that’s so great!!!! Hopefully we both get to do the Maude Tee someday soon. 🥰

[@TheStaceyC]

I love and appreciate when people insert pictures!

[@ashlol4151]

merino yarn is also super friendly for the summer! people also compare merino to cotton and say it’s better to wear in the summer than cotton!

[@mphailey1]

Ohh, that striped dress is beautiful! You have a great eye for color! Love your knits - I am currently a crocheter trying to learn how to knit, because like you, I am fascinated with all the beautiful knot sweaters that I want to make Someday! Xoxo

[@amariemakes]

That dress is stunning!

[@markishabunn4492]

I'm working on my 2nd Braided Bralette and I use a dpn as a cable needle.

[@CathyWuVancouver]

New subscriber here! Glad I found you on Alexandra’s channel. I love your energy, and your honest views 😊

[@knitwithkali]

Yay, I’m glad!

[@claire2279]

I am so delulu that my first knit is the petiteknit Elisabeth blouse 🫣 and I’m only one sleeve away from finishing.. it’s taken so long because I’ve had to watch so many videos but it’s been so fun and I feel so upskilled!

[@knitwithkali]

Wow that’s amazing!!!

[@HandmadeWithKaye]

My boucle sweater is Sweater No. 1 guys lol

[@knitwithkali]

Whoops 😂😂😂

[@deborahway8636]

I'm knitting the champagne Cardigan in noro

[@franklett]

Loved your yarn haul! The balloon sweater in that rainbow sprinkles yarn is going to be STUNNING. I recently added Cumbria to my yarn stash as well, in the color dodd wood -- I think it's going to become a sweater no. 13. It really is a gorgeous yarn and so nice to the touch. The gal at the store also told me that it softens up EVEN MORE when blocking. I can't wait! 🤩

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you! I’m sooo ready to cast on the Balloon Sweater just so I can see the yarn worked up. Ooooo that’s making me even more excited for the Cumbria yarn!

[@kathleentanti4387]

You knit so much. How do you find the time? Love the way you pair mohair and create such beautiful fabric. Have fun. I’m currently knitting Matilda a stranded colour work yoked jumper. Also have a cardigan on needles.

[@knitwithkali]

I don’t go anywhere without my knitting, so I’m constantly knitting every single day. Thank you! Good luck with your projects. ☺️

[@kymberlinnitchals8163]

Another fantastic podcast love it love it great job love all that your doing an all the projects you talk about an whips it's so inspirational to me ❤😊😊amazing

[@knitwithkali]

Tysm! 💙

[@knallfroosch]

What I did during this video: - worked on a top with sharp lace needles and poked into a cut in my finger, which HURT so much - made a gauge swatch, cast on the thing, made the same ripping mistake twice (always beginning of row, ripped back once), decided to frog the thing and do sth else - just made another gauge swatch, will cast on a sweater now (with Filcolana Peruvian Highland Wool)

[@knitwithkali]

Ouch! Sorry to hear that! Wowowow hopefully you don’t have to do any more frogging! Good luck with your new sweater! ☺️

[@SimpleBegiknits]

Your Stripe Hype dress looks amazing! Honestly, I hadn’t noticed that the sleeves were different colours from the dress until you pointed it out! 👌👌👌

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you so much!

[@tanyab78]

Same! I would have never known if she didn't point it out and zoom in! 😂 It looks amazing!

[@Grateful.knits99]

20:59 look at the jaska pattern. I love the nails this time.

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Thanks for keeping me company as I knit on my Anker Summer Shirt. Your Stripe Hype Dress is stunning.

[@knitwithkali]

Tysm! Happy to keep you company! Oooo I love that pattern very much.

[@Grateful.knits99]

I’ve got one of those in the works too !

[@aromanianknitterinnorway]

Your projects are stunning, love them all! I love your knitting joy and the positive vibe you have ❤ Totally agree about PetitKnit, I don't like when other podcasters start to appologize for having only PetitKnit on their needles, and blahblah there are other designers out there, and things like that. How I see things? PetitKnit is PetitKnit. Period! She has the most amazing, simple, comfortable, mostly friendly begginer and scandinavian style pattern. And I see a lot of new "designers" releasing pattern becaise of PetitKnit and because all they have learned from PetitKnit patters. So for me saying bad things about her work is just masked hypocrisy. Just saying 😂 Oh, and all the talk about size inclusive and how they not recommend some designers because of their not inclusive size patterns? Well, just another hypocrisy! I am a big size, 124 cm bust and let me tell you that not every knitting pattern look good on my body with all that size inclusive. It would be better for us to understand and accept that some patterns don't need to be size inclusive. Ok 😂 many people will hate my comment but who cares? At the end of the day we all wish to be PetitKnit, or at list some of the new "designers" 😂 Regards, Maria. Ps I love long content and you just made me to cast on again the october sweater, I've done it before but I had to unravell everything because was not the correct size for me.

[@Синяяворона-б7э]

I'm also so sick and tired of this apologetical nonsense when yet another knitter on yo makes something from PetiteKnit. She is literally a mother to current social media knitting community, countless younger designers and a huge inspiration! She deserves all the respect and admiration.

[@aromanianknitterinnorway]

@@Синяяворона-б7э , totally agree and if they don't like it than maybe they should get over it whitout all the drama.

[@knitwithkali]

Very well said!! I totally agree! 💙 Also, so cool that you’re casting on another October Sweater because it’s a great pattern. ☺️

[@ladyinredyarn-yvonne1942]

Hello; this is Yvonne in Detroit Michigan. While watching you I was working on the Lyon Sweater 😘 I have 1 sleeve 2 go, and 5 “ of the body 2 finish… 🙋🏾‍♀️🙌🏾💃💃 Gr8 podcast 2day!

[@knitwithkali]

Nice, congrats on all the progress!!!

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Mounds, Illinois. I really enjoyed your podcast and I subscribed to it. Your dress is so awesome, you did a fantastic job knitting it.

[@Preciousknits7916]

Thank you I enjoy watching you and your sisters. I also knitted the chunky Dahlia, just by watching you'll it give me ideas to try different garments that I may have not come across while pattern perusing. Here in the windy city is our annual yarn crawl that has 18 shops participating. Hope I don't to get into yarny trouble😊

[@knitwithkali]

Appreciate that! Ooooo have fun at the yarn crawl!!

[@purlmonster]

Kalilah, I don't even know which project of yours I like best in this episode... The Stripe Hype Dress? Gorgeous! The Mamba Sweater? Will be amazing! The October Sweater? So cool, and the color

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you so much! Your WIPS sound so interesting! Hope you have fun with them!

[@purlmonster]

@@knitwithkali Thank you! I sure will

[@milaserova5465]

Awesome yarn! Awesome projects! I love it!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you!!

[@lorikoury120]

Awesome video! I had to watch every minute! Your pattern and yarn choices are amazing! Your motivation is contagious so thank you! I look forward to your next video, enjoy! 💕

[@knitwithkali]

Wow that means so much to me! Thank you so much for watching! 💙💙💙

[@toksknits]

Really enjoyed this episode. That Mamba sweater is going to be gorgeous. As someone who always has a cable knit on the needles, I'm looking forward to the pattern. Lol watching this made me realize I need to stop procrastinating and film another podcast episode for my channel

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you! I agree, I’m so excited to see this Mamba Sweater fully knit up. Yeah go film that episode!! Haha

[@stitchdxpaige3874]

I’m still struggling with making these vanilla socks

[@knitwithkali]

Aww hopefully you’ll be able to get through them!

[@kattsyarnkrafts]

I love your stripe hype dress! I didn’t notice the sleeves until you pointed it out. I’m about to cast that on over the next few days, but making one of Kutovakika’s Lola Tops atm. I also recently finished The Arctic Light Sweater and wow, what a pattern! I love that sweater soooo much. Really enjoyed watching and I can relate to having a huge list of projects waiting to be made. I’ll get through them all eventually 😅

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you!!! Oh wow I’m so glad you liked the pattern because it makes me even more excited to knit it up. Rightttt eventually we’ll get through our lists hahaha

[@Hailah]

I really enjoyed watching this video and making so much progress on my folklore cardigan. thank you !! 💕

[@knitwithkali]

Aww thank you!!! I just got Sewrella’s Folklore Cardigan pattern and I am so excited to work on that in the future! Idk when, but I do wanna do it. 😆

[@KatharinaB23]

Your enamel pin is in the same colours as your lyon sweden sweater! That's awesome

[@knitwithkali]

Omg good catch!!

[@KnitsByNayla]

You know, I’ve never felt the urge to make the Sunday sweater but yours in cream and the blond hair is giving me like Swiss alps sipping hot cocoa in a ski lodge and I want that for me! 😂 I’m excited to see how your test knits go. And I love the Sweden haul!

[@knitwithkali]

Awwww nice!!! Thank you!

[@mg-31]

Just finished watching, loved the video! I worked on the salty days sweater by kutovakika. 1000% agree that isager has the softest mohair

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you for watching! Oooo the Salty Days sweater is definitely one I wanna do in the future. I’m loving Isager mohair so much!

[@katedavy6272]

I still routinely frog...whether I made a mistake or it's just not what I want, I frog. I don't feel bad about it. I feel liberated! I'm working on a summer tee, a pair of sox, as usual, and I need to put zippers in 3 baby sweaters...really need to get those done! And I'm trying to make prothesis socks for a friend out of sock yarn. It's a discovery process. Plus, not counted in my regular knitting are the stuff I'm knitting for a local knitting mill. Other than that, I'm just chillin!

[@knitwithkali]

I for sure have a different perspective on frogging now! It’s not so intimidating anymore. Oooo three zippers?? Good luck with all of your projects!

[@ulrichseelbach2460]

The dress is so beautiful 🎉

[@knitwithkali]

Tysm!

[@karoline123hej]

So ready for the Marco polo pattern!

[@Синяяворона-б7э]

Thank you for the podcast! Knitting community can be so judgeful sometimes... who cares which designers other people support. For each their own! I had one question: why do you hold boucle double on so small needles? Won't it produce not just tight, but also a super warm sweater? Like, hot warm sweater :D

[@knitwithkali]

Agreed! Well, I thought it seemed thinner than it actually is, so I just went with it lolol and a super warm sweater is totally fine with me! I’ll use it some day whenever I travel to a cold place. 😆

[@patiharville8210]

Love your striped dress! Your stitches are so uniform. ❤❤❤

[@aloudjane137]

ouhhh the colour of your October Sweater is so nice! I was thinking about getting the Almond Kid Silk and now I probably will :)

[@knitwithkali]

Rightttt, it’s so great! I definitely think it’s worth getting the kid silk in Almond. ☺️

[@faith_fiberfables]

Never feel like you have to justify yourself for knitting patterns from a popular or specific designer. Always, always knit what you love and what you are comfortable with ❤️ love how you came for the haters out there

[@knitwithkali]

Thank you!! I totally agree 💙

[@t1naba1ley]

👍

[@silveralanatural]

Be careful with the loops and threads, because, it really catches on itself. I've found that if I don't pull too much out at one time, it's easier to work with. It's a beautiful yarn though😊

[@knitwithkali]

Ohhh thanks for the tip!!
