Wow! So impressive how you fixed your sweater. Never in a million years could I do that, And you have the photos!

[@PatTaylor-e2y]

I thought the Snowbloom sweater and the colouring of it very looked elegant on you.

[@tairazieman560]

Can’t believe you mentioned Wool-Tyme! That’s my local yarn shop, and off there tomorrow morning for knitting “finishing” class tomorrow They have the best clearance section I’ve ever seen! 😊 Love the look of Clay Sweater! Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thank for all the detail on Twisted Affair, am going to make a couple for Christmas gifts. As a crocheter Linda Skuja patterns are gorgeous and well written. Love her 😍 Taira (Ottawa, Canada)

Another great podcast. You have great ideas. It’s hard to pick a favorite. Praying your husband has a speedy recovery. See you next time.

[@marshawoods2634]

I'm working on my first Twisted Affair as I watch this evening. Yes. my row gauge is off, and I wish I'd thought to do the 8-row cable instead of 10. Thanks for that idea. This one is a gift; there will be more. I have made a sweater out of Luft and as are all the Woolfolk bases, it is excellent. I may order two skeins right now and let the next Twisted Affair jump ahead in the queue. Loving a quickly finished project. All the best to your husband! x x x

[@laurelb8372]

Hope your husband has a good recovery. There will be challenges but working with physio is the key. Love your projects.

[@kristendroke5413]

I hope your husband heals well. And that you enjoy your time off at home. Happy happy knitting!

[@sueaitkin8030]

Snow bloom color work is really lovely on you. Thanks for your podcast.

[@JanHowe-ll3zr]

Another lovely video. Love, love your test knit. The colours are gorgeous. All the best for hubby’s operation and hope all is well. Meant to mention your bag making video with daughter. She is cheeky and fun. Loved the design of the bags - quite tempted to indulge. Cheers.

[@heatherharrison4855]

Beautiful test knit sweater and the colours are really lovely . Love all the patterns you want to knit but I'm hopeless at picking colours so look forward to seeing your sweater with the karisma yarn. Hope your husband recovers well. Will pray for a good recovery.🥰

[@cazs5474]

Wishing your husband a speedy recovery. I love the new hat pattern ! I was knitting on my second one while I was watching, thanks for the tips too :)

[@rhondacutler3831]

Lovely podcast, Tash. I hope your husband is recovering well. All the very best.

[@JoyfulFreckles]

Oh the Joji beanie is lovely! Wishing you and your husband all the best for the surgery, saw your story on Instagram. Will miss your presence here if you do miss a week, but please take as much time as you need - family first!

[@vickifenlon2235]

I do love the colour work test knit!

[@jilliankonig2759]

Best wishes to your husband in his recovery!

[@talitharitter3176]

The colours on your Snowbloom are really flattering on you!

[@talitharitter3176]

I keep meaning to mention that Drops Air is a good sub for Woolfolk Luft. It is a bit more robust than the Katia Concept option.

[@hildaandrews8150]

Your Snowbloom is beautiful! I love the colours. I don’t know why I can’t get myself back into colourwork, after doing nothing else for years I guess I’ll have to wait until the urge returns. Best of luck to your husband. Mine had both knees done one at a time and is very happy to be pain free. Hope you have lots of ice ready.

[@farmerswife51]

Prayers for all good things to come from your husband's surgery. May he have an easy recovery, with the least amount of pain. Sending hugs from the farm.

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much x

[@francinecharron8901]

Just to let you know that Linda Skuja’s patterns are extremely well written and easily to follow. She often has supporting videos for newer stitches. I’m an adventurous beginner and have been able to do several of her patterns from her book. My only issue has been in meeting the gage. Good luck!

[@sjorchatodman34]

Love your Twigs & Willows cardi, had to pause and run to Ravelry. I fell in love with all of Alana Dakos's designs, my favourites list grew dramatically. My favourite 'squishy' wool is the Peppin range by Fiddlesticks, especially Peppin 4, which is good wool to use for kids, doesn't have the itch & scratch factor & I haven't had any experience of it pilling either.

[@Macasmum]

Blessings for your hubby and please look after yourself as you care for him. Your test knit is lovely. Could you please recommend a Jennifer Steingast colour work pattern for a beginner in colour work? Something with short floats would be great. Many thanks for all the time you put into your podcast 👩‍🌾🐑🐮

[@lianaukema84]

You’re such a great knitter Tash, beautiful items on the needles!!🥰

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much! x

[@chantaldelage3269]

I love your Snowbloom. It's funny, because I am currently knitting the Avena sweater ! Hope your husband recovers well.

[@mokepemberley4525]

You can totally do the crochet! 😊

[@oldwitchknits-Ursula]

I hope the surgery went well and your husband is feeling ok! I also immediately downloaded Joji's beanie pattern when it came out and will cast on this weekend. I thought this would go perfectly with my Dagmar jacket that will be finished in a week or so 🤞

[@gailfirenze4760]

Praying all went well for your husband,Tash. Only advise is do the exercises the Phyio gives him religiously. Blessings 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@MrsKWheatley]

Hope your hubby's operation goes well. You'll be missed if you don't get online next week, but family has to come first. I love that version of the Avena, and am now wondering if I can use Karisma to dupe Spincycle in some way, as it is way out of my budget. Thanks x

[@gbitter1395]

Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery! Can you show us your needle storage rack on the wall? Looks intriguing. Love your podcast as always!

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much. Will do - i will show that next episode. :)

[@maryannbergeron9531]

Lovely podcast as usual. I remembered to pray for your husband and hope all went well. In our area, they will only do one knee at a time. So happy your husband was able to get them both done at the same time. I printed off the Twisted Knit hat pattern. I have 6 grandsons, so I am excited to make these for them as they all love outdoor snow sports. ❤

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much Maryann. All going well so far for my husband. I think your grandsons will love these hats and I think you will enjoy making them as well. x

[@gudidar]

Prayers for your husband. Love from Istanbul

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much x

[@SS_S.]

I love my Twigs and Willows! I made the beret from the same book also

[@mostlyknitting]

It is such a pretty design. :)

[@sharonkennedy8612]

Love your videos. Love all your projects. Hope your husband recovers well.

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much Sharon. :)

[@LeeSukkar]

Hi Tash, thanks again for another episode. The guage for the Heimathafen pullover is 24st x 35 rows. The details can be found on The Myak website. I purchased the yarn over the weekend from Handmakecreate. Cant wait for the pattern release 😊

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much Lee. It really is lovely. I am looking forward to seeing all the projects and color choices to start popping up on ravelry. :)

[@toniprutch8956]

When I'm trying out a new crochet stitch, I always make a dishcloth also. I wish your husband a quick recovery.

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much Toni. :)

[@magsohara7908]

Ooh some lovely things on your needles Tash. I’ve downloaded the joji locatelli patter because I’ve been looking for a hat to knit for my oldest grandsons girlfriend for Christmas. - looks ideal. Thanks for sharing your work with us. 🙋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mostlyknitting]

Thank you so much! It is a really lovely pattern. I think you will really enjoy knitting it.

[@anitaswart.]

Hi thank you for another interesting video. Praying for your husband's recovery. Just thought I would warn you to rather not give your terrarium much water because plants die of too much water. X

[@elenabeyers2088]

Prayers for your husband’s healing. Would you happen to know if the Baker’s Hat would fit a 23inch head?

[@carolinesowinski551]

Is that cable storage in your wall to the right behind you? Did you make it or purchase? I’ve been looking for something similar.

[@missjenny1953]

Yes, I’d like to take a closer look at that too

[@mostlyknitting]

It is not the neatest but it is how i store my cables. I made it a while ago. I wish there was a ravelry for sewing as I cant remember if i used a pattern. I probably googled something and found a tutorial.... I'll show it off next podcast. :)

[@mostlyknitting]

Thanks Jenny. I will show it next podcast. :)
