Seeing your West Sands is the first time I’ve seen someone’s version of a sweater and felt like I wanted that EXACT sweater. Wouldn’t change *anything* about it, it’s stunning 😍 I must make one!

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Thank you so so much 🥰 The pattern is still on track to release at the end of next month I believe 😊

[@lindacornelius3451]

This is my first time here. So glad I found you

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Lovely knits again. I’m still knitting the red, white and blue mitred square laprug for my son. I think I only have 14 squares to knit and quite a few ends to sew in. Also I’m knitting socks for me, WYS ZR Forest Stripes. I have my next two projects in my head. 😁 x

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Thank you so much ☺️ Oh so close! I really admire any kind of blanket knit. Oh lovely! Can never have enough hand knit socks! 🧦

[@Elianaalfonso7703]

Lovely projects! I find Isager to be the softest mohair. It’s super kid rather than just kid. I also always have to use bigger needles for Sari’s patterns. She must be a loose knitter.

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Thank you! Oh really, I'll have to give it a try next time I need a mohair. Yes I think so too, I think she knits continental and as I knit English style I usually find I'm a bit tighter

[@Creanelia67]

Your West Sands sweater looks great, lovely colours. 🤩

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Thank you so much 😊

[@corteofs]

That jumper is beautiful and looks good on you

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Thank you so much 😊

Could you do a tutorial on how you finished the fold over neck band.....its soooo stretchy 😍😍😍😍. I loved your daughter's cropped cardigan. All your colour choices and wips are beautiful 🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

[@KnitsbyAJ]

I can definitely give a tutorial a go for the fold over neckband. I just need to finish up a yoke to add the neckband too 😊 Thank you so much! 😊

[@Kimsgardencare]

Pleased to hear your better! Love your daughters Halloween 🎃 costume 😊 Been knitting on and finished a heavy modified felix cardigan. Half way through a Irish moss stitch slip over and some cosy dk socks 🧦 pg102 of summer lees ‘the sock project’ ❤

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Yes much better thank you ☺️ Thank you, she loved it and said she wants to wear it again next year! Oh lovely, I'm tempted by a Felix for spring next year. Dk socks are such a good idea, I think I'll have to cast some on for myself now it's getting chilly

[@Kimsgardencare]

Good 😊 oh I’m pleased she loved it! It’s getting cold here in the East Midlands so dk songs are perfect for wearing indoors!! I’ve done 3 Felix cardigans now but they’re all very different!!

[@mariemunson6087]

Hi, your knits always inspire me 😊. I've just finished the harvest cardigan by tin can knits, as a Christmas gift for my sister. Today I'm starting the Norwood jumper by Jenn Steingass, for me 😊. Not done a fingering weight for a while so should be fun! Great podcast I'm in the UK too, Lincolnshire. Look forward to your next one xxxx

[@KnitsbyAJ]

So happy to hear that. What a lovely gift! She is very lucky. Ooo that sounds lovely, the colourwork looks beautiful and fingering weight will be so versatile 😊

[@sophieinspired]

The pumpkin buttons 😱 sooo cute 💖

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Aren't they just! 🥰 I love them so much!

[@jeanathey767]

The Halloween outfit is so dang cute! Any link available for the witch hat?

[@sophieinspired]

Do you tell your family when you’re knitting for them or are knitting in secret? Or just pretending it’s something for yourself? 😅🫣 I‘m eye-ing the idea of making something for my partner but I‘m not sure yet how I would approach it in regards of gift/surprise 😅

[@sophieinspired]

Ps: looove how the christmas sweater looks so far, the green with the white trees looks perfectly winter-y for me without being to christmas-y 💖🧶

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Last year I knit my husband a jumper in secret for Christmas, I mostly knit it when he was out of the house or doing something in another room. Now I don't tend to knit him much in secret because I panic about things not fitting 😂 I have seen a few people knit gifts for their partners when they are around by also having another project in the same colour on the go that they can pass them off as.

[@KnitsbyAJ]

Thank you so much! I hope it becomes something he can wear all winter long 😊
