I loved your dress,the fabric is unusual but lovely.I like the pattern on your jumper and I am looking forward to seeing it made up.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much, I really like the pattern on the jumper too, it’s been a fun one to knit. I’m hoping to get it all sewed together soon so I can share and wear it 😊

[@lorrainewalker9426]

The pull over is gorgeous,and cotton is warm too, looking forward to seeing it finished , I like you love knitting and sewing xx

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much, I hope the pullover will be cosy 😊 it will be nice to be able to wear it across winter. It’s nice to be able to move between sewing and knitting and mix it up isn’t it 😊 x

[@lorrainewalker9426]

@@madebycathcraft yes, that way you don’t ever get bored x

[@suehardy812]

I have two Freya tops and thinking of making some more - i love the stretch book. Loved the davenport dress and am looking forward at seeing your jumper and your top in the checks made up.

[@madebycathcraft]

You definitely can’t have too many Freya tops I think 😊I love the stretch book too. Thank you I’m looking forward to getting the knitted jumper finished soon and hopefully the top too 😊

[@sewchilled22]

Your dress is lovely and the top is coming along nicely it will be interesting to see what fabric you decide on to make the garment when the twill is complete... Your jumper looks gorgeous.. Well done 👏👏

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊yes I’m still undecided about the top fabric but hoping it’ll help me decide by trying it in the red & white 🤞

[@donnabronner4837]

I love your knitted sweater.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much. I’ve really enjoyed knitting it

[@chocmeltingcake]

Perfect fabric for the Bowery top!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! I really love the idea of the Bowery top in that fabric 😊

[@cathmckeever2728]

Beautiful dress Cath. The fabric is so perfect made up in that pattern. Looking forward to seeing your finished top in the check fabric & the knitting project progression as well.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much Cath, I was really pleased to make a decision for the tiger fabric, I’m looking forward to wearing the dress this winter. Thanks for watching 😊

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

Ooh, the lace jumper is beautiful! At 45 I've come to find knitting black lace is very hard on the eyes lol. I love your Davenport dress, the print is fun but the tigres are subtle so it doesn't look like a "novelty" print. Not that I don't like a bold wacky print, but sometimes they can distract from the overall project and the Davenport has some lovely details.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! Yes I do find I need quite bright light for knitting with black yarn, it is hard on the eyes isn’t it 😄 Thank you I really love that the Davenport dress print is on the subtle side too 😊

[@susankinghorn2330]

Hello Cath🤗. Good to see you again😀 The animal print dress looks made to measure on you, and the colouring suits your pleasant personality, as always your fabric/pattern combinations look very professional😁. Regards to you all🙏

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much Susan 🥰 I am really happy with how the dress turned out. Thank you very much for watching!

[@janicecoulson5388]

Love the dress, the fabric is so unusual, really suits you xx

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much, I’m glad to have turned that fabric into a dress I’ll hopefully enjoy wearing 😊 xx

[@vanessal1500]

Your makes are absolutely beautiful 🌹🌹🌹

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much ❤️❤️

[@judymunroe1617]

Your makes are all great but love the sweater you are making-so impressive! 🥰🤗

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 🥰 I’ve really enjoyed taking my time over the knitted sweater and enjoying the lace stitching. 😊❤️

[@AuntBecsCreations]

Lovely makes! I'm glad you are sharing your knitting again. I can't knit I have tried and tried but I do crochet a good bit.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊 It was nice to have a chat about my knitting too, I’m glad you enjoyed hearing about it. It’s funny, I am the opposite to you, I can knit but I can’t crochet despite having tried, I just can’t get it!

[@AuntBecsCreations]

[@christinecrabb1911]

Thank you, love your Davenport dress ❤️👍

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊❤️ I’m really happy with how the Davenport dress turned out, I am glad to have found a pattern to match the fabric 😊

[@katrinanaylor1135]

Your dress turned out lovely. That sweater though!😍😍 I sew, but have never learned to knit or crochet. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and you're not even finished yet. I can't wait to see it all finished. Great job!!!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! 😊❤️ I am really enjoying knitting up the sweater, I hope I can do some neat seaming to finish it off 🤞 thank you for watching! 😊

[@shellyscott8275]

The fabric used for your Davenport looks gorgeous and the dress really suits you. What a pretty sweater too Cath. You’ve made a wonderful job of it and should be very proud of yourself 😊👏 Thank you for sharing x

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much Shelly 😊I’m really enjoying the sweater pattern, hoping I can finish it off nicely so I can wear it soon. Thank you very much for watching x

[@nancyhilborn885]

The sweater is gorgeous! I just don't have the patience to do a lace work pattern. I appreciate how much time, effort and concentration it takes to do a sweater like that. 👏👏👏

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! 😊 The sweater has definitely been a slow knit, I’ve quite enjoyed taking it slowly and just doing a few lines on an evening. Hoping I can do the seaming neatly now to finish it off nicely 🤞

[@judithbrothwell6730]

The denim weight pinafore is a great use of the pattern. The Nikko top works really well as a warm long sleeved close fitting top.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you I really like the wintery denim option for the Fiona sundress. Yes you can’t beat a top like the Nikko top for layering can you, I’m intrigued to try it one day to see exactly how it compares to the Freya top

[@janthurgood1803]

I love your davenport dress, it's really you 💕

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊💕 I’m glad I chose that pattern for the fabric

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Lovely makes Cath. I much prefer pattern knitting, it’s way more fun isn’t it! You jumper will look gorgeous.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much Claire! 😊 yes pattern knitting is really fun isn’t it, makes it more of an engaging project, I’d really like to do more!

[@makeitjoyful]

Your dress and sweater are gorgeous! Great job!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@wandafountain4467]

Nice video today, I will try that Davenport dress as you make it look so great.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy the Davenport dress.

[@janieceprieur7068]

enjoyable as always!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@karenegan2640]

I love the Freya too, I’ve made 4 so far

[@madebycathcraft]

It’s such a great staple top isn’t it! Thank you for watching 😊

[@create_something_pretty]

Oh my goodness Kath! That jumper is gorgeous! How long did that take you? You are so inspiring. How you do this with two young kids I don't know. I loved this video.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much! 😊 The sweater has taken quite a while, I’ve been working on it since the summer! I’ve enjoyed doing a few rows in the evenings once the children are in bed. Thank you for watching 😊
