[@Susi1406]

I understand how you feel about wearing your own makes. It is very rewarding and uplifting. Keep going with the sewing… 🥳 can’t wait to see what else you make. 😊

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

It is so very true!! 💖 Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful week of making 💖🥰

[@mynorthknitcorner]

Your butterflies and brambles top is just so beautiful! Congrats on your first sewn dress. It's stunning. Thank you for a wonderful episode as usual🥰 Have a lovely weekend☀️ Love from Anne 🇧🇻

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Thank you so very much, dear Anne!! You always brighten my day with your kindness 🥰 I hope you have a wonderful week full of happy knitting and making!! 🌷

[@heatherr9201]

Yay for your first dress! Good job 👍

[@WellLovedKnits]

Gabriella! Enjoyed knitting along with you as always 😊 I kept thinking how stunning you will look in that rosey wrap top! It will be a beautiful contrast to your dark hair and fair skin. If your husband is like mine, he can’t really envision how the yarn will be in a final piece 😂 I’ve stopped asking lol

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Oh Bethany you are so incredibly kind, thank you so much!! 🌷🥰 Oh my gosh, I think I need to follow your lead and just not ask any more... visualising yarn as a finished object is certainly an acquired skill anyway 😂

[@alexandrah535]

Aaaah! I’m so touched that my yarn is going to be a project for your new darling! ❤️ I think of you in this transitional phase so often between uploads-and Esme becoming a big sister. Eeee! Your gentle, loving nature inspires me so much. 🌷

[@galadknittingcircle1194]

What a lovely episode! Your sewn dress looks so good, I would to get into sewing too, at the moment I’m still really terrified about it… Your finished top looks really beautiful 😍

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

The feeling is oh so mutual Alexandra!! And every stitch is a dream with this yarn! The care and love you put into your hand-dyeing absolutely tangible. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Thank you so much! It really is such an adventure. I understand the terror- but it is so worth the challenge! 😍

Your dress turned out beautiful! I love that color. I have the Studio Tunic by Sew liberated on my "to sew" list. It has wonderful deep pockets that I think will be perfect for walking around on our farm collecting eggs or food from the garden. I saw one person sew it from a tablecloth, and now I'm so excited to give it a try with some that I have in my linen closet. I can't wait to see what you sew next!

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Thank you so much Stephanie!! Oh what a gorgeous project idea! I am endlessly inspired by those kind of up-cycled garments (especially because so many tablecloths/bedclothes have such lovely prints/textures). I am so excited to hear how it goes! 🥰

[@katrinaknits08]

The Butterflies and Brambles top is so pretty. I’d love to make one! I just adore the fabric you chose for your dress too. It looks amazing! Well done!

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Thank you so much Katrina!! That is a huge compliment coming from you! 🌷🥰

[@kellymontgomery4233]

Oh I love your sweater it's so beautiful. Your dress is perfect. I love the yarn you received for your daughters sweater. My husband is very truthful and I appreciate it a lot. Have a great week of knitting. Your sweaters are so inspiring

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Thank you so much dear Kelly!!! 🥰 I have to agree with you- at the end of the day I very much appreciate my husband's honesty, but in the moment it so often makes me laugh 😂❤️ Wishing you a wonderful rest of your week with lots of very happy making!! 🌷

[@daphnesaint7859]

Your butterfly and brambles is so cute!

[@emilykatemadethis]

I can so relate to German husbands being very German 😂 I always ask and I'm never ready for the honesty 🤭 I'm also looking forward to casting on the ballerina wrap top. The yarn is gorgeous 🥰

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Yes!! I think I need just stop asking 😂 Oh I am sure you are going to love the process, it is truly gorgeous!! 🌷🥰

[@BR54niner]

🤣🤣🤣 Ohh my word. I’m sitting here watching while knitting your shawl pattern. And I must say…you have exhausted me with your chatty’ness. I say this with the up most love. My daughter and I are enjoying trying to keep up. 😁♥️ The cardi color is pretty. Matches my nails almost perfectly. 😁

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Oh no!! Please feel free to watch the video at reduced speed (click the gear/settings icon on the video bar to adjust playback speed) if that is what bothers you. :)

[@HundredAcreWool]

Your Butterflies and Brambles top turned out so beautifully!! And I'm so excited to see more of your sewing endeavors! I've been wanting to get into more sewing garments - what are some pattern resources that you found and would recommend? Was lovely to spend some time knitting with you

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

Thank you so much, lovely Bella!! 🌷Oh I can imagine you would make stunning pieces (I think I remember, way way back, you showed some lovely velvet fabric on your podcast?), garment sewing is such a rewarding adventure. I have loved Peppermint Magazine online, for inspiration (very accessible for beginners) and have discovered quite a few new designers through there as well. Otherwise browsing Etsy and other online marketplaces has been so much fun! ❤️

[@heatherr9201]

My husband is half German, born and raised in America but I also have to expect him to just say it like it is…. Love your sweater design… looks great on you

[@MerryweatherKnitting]

I am so glad I am not alone in having a very honest husband!! In the end it is actually wonderful, but I have to be careful to only ask questions I really want an honest answer to! Thank you so much for your kind words!! 😍

Getting caught up with you. It has been a challenging month or two. You have been missed.
