Thank you for presenting your collection. 🕸🕸🕸 Not only are you a prolific knitter, but you are a prolific and generous teacher ! 🕸🕸🕸

[@MadeleineLislois]

You deserve all the praise you are getting ! Your line - up is charming, and high quality. Cheers ! !

[@MarielleLefrancois]

28 well finished projects in a year, makes more than two a month ! ! You are a very gifted knitter. Great at getting your tops to fit you very well. 💐💐💐💐

[@LucieDesbiens-od1hb]

It takes a very strong knitter, to produce 28 finished works in a year ! 🍺🍺 They are so varied and well executed. I lift my hat to you !!

[@MariaKokis]

I would award you the prize for the best choices of clothes to knit, in terms of wearability. Your Salerno Sweater is perfect ! You want to make clothes that you wear frequently, and that don't catch dust in the closet, unused. That is the best philosophy. Kudos ! ! !

[@IreneOGrady]

Your work is constant, and your dedication doesn't fade. Congratulations !!

[@AndromedaKokis]

You are a living knitting legend ! ! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

[@MarySmith-i8t]

Hello Emily ! _ It is so amazing to watch you create such beautiful knitwear. Thank you for sharing your creative process with us. 🦜🦜

[@EleonoreBasinger]

Your knits are beautiful. I cannot decide which one to make first. Here, any knitter will find something that will make them want to start a new work.

[@StephanieSoucy-zu3mn]

I counted 28 works ! ! ! 🏈🏈🏈 You are wearing that Bonfire Sweater so well !! 🏈🏈🏈 Same about the Zipper Sweater !! You had a very successful knitting year.

[@VeronicadiGenova-zh4bf]

Wonderful to see all the projects that you finished ! 🦾🦾🦾 You accomplished so much. I hope you can set private time aside to rest and find a healthy balance of fun things you enjoy. I am saying that because you are such a hard worker, and very dedicated. It was nice to take my coffee with you today !! 🫐🫐🫐

[@GertrudeMailloux]

This is all so interesting ! 🏞 Greetings from Canada ⛰ You volunteer very honest and sharp comments about your projects, which is very very helpful for me. I will watch your other podcasts, and wish you a long career as a knitter and podcaster !! 🌋

[@KimOShaughnessy-yf4du]

Thank you for this very rich and honest video. Too bad the Springfling Sweater doesn't fulfill its mission. It is looking so good. But I understand your issue, about it. I learned a lot of things. 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌

[@user-so2js8ph9r]

❤

[@BridgetOKeefe-uy5dp]

Impressive line up of beautiful works ! ! I also like the two hand bags, at the end. Thank you.

[@FabienneDumoulin-sz2mr]

You give me inspiration and patience. Thank you.

[@IsabelleLavoie-jc8qg]

You are a very accomplished knitter. I am eager to watch your next programs.

[@NathalieSt-Pierre-pb6gj]

Very impressive compilation of your works ! ! _ For example, I like the Linea Socks very much ( color pistachio ). Nice design. I liked that you mentioned the type of bind off : the Jeny's Surprinsingly Stretchy Bind off. Very pretty. I am checking up a tutorial about it, I want to learn it. 🚞 Thank you for mentioning the small details, that, in the end, make the difference ! !

[@moniquem8093]

Hello from San Diego

[@joannamartin7917]

So nice to see another Aussie Podcast. ❤

[@christinefunk3591]

Hello from Beausejour Canada. I love the petite knitter. That spring fling has got to be converted into a winter sweater. If I were you I’d buy more yarn and do sweater surgery to make sleeves and add length. If you can do an afterthought heel you can put lines in after ribbing than 1 row leave plain then put a lining in and cut the middle stitch. Attach yarn and knit then graft afterwards. You can do that to your colourwork hat too

[@pepperknits]

Thank you, that’s a great idea!! Once I have the courage to go back to it I will give it a go 💕

[@christinefunk3591]

@@pepperknits I totally believe you can do it!!

[@bevabberley1524]

You have been busy. Beautiful work 🎉

[@twosmallbears2180]

Hello from NZ! Great video, thank you. I'd be keen to see one about what you plan to knit for 2024 if you think you might do one!

[@pepperknits]

Thank you! I have some fun plans brewing in my mind to share ☺️

[@tammienichols3648]

I have never watched you before but I very much enjoyed your podcast. I was very impressed by the last accessory you showed. Honeycomb brioche! Wow. You should be proud of the work you’ve done in 2023.

[@pepperknits]

Thank you! It’s much less intimidating than it looks 🥰 happy knitting

[@trish2272]

I really enjoyed your honest critique of your knits, lots of good information. The springfling by petite knits is very pretty, maybe you could shorten the sleeves back to the flowers and use the extra yarn for adding length?

[@pepperknits]

Thank you! That’s a great idea, one I have the courage to go back to that project I should give it a go

[@GeorgetteCaron]

Very impressive. That makes 28 finished works, in a year. Big and small ones. 🦏🦏 I can only try to imagine what an incredibly busy woman you must be !! 🦏🦏 Not to mention that all you make is high quality.

[@logikgirl12]

You are a very talented knitter ✨😊 Thanks for this video, it was interesting and inspiring

[@pepperknits]

Thank you! 😊

[@r.o.6063]

I’m a first time viewer and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Well done 👍🏼. Am looking forward to your next one. Take care and happy knitting. 🧶

[@OllieandMay]

Hello from the Gold Coast Qld. First time viewer, so Lovely to find another Aussie Knitting Podcast. As a long time Sock Knitter using hand dyed merino/nylon yarn, you might want to go down a needle size to give your socks a firmer fabric, the reason for pilling is because the sock is rubbing against the inside of your shoes.. You have made some Beautiful Knits.

[@pepperknits]

Thank you for the tip! ☺️

[@DeniseDumont-ol8wq]

Your presentations encourage me to knit more. 🟩🟩 Thank you so very kindly !!

[@MaureenOFlanigan]

This session is a treasure of information. Just one example : the Dear Duomo Sweater. You mention the tubular cast on, and you show it. Very interesting. As well, the neck line done with a crochet chain stitch as baseline. That solves your recurrent problem of the collar being too bulky. Wonderful. I took notes.

[@AoifeOKeefe]

That year was productive for sure. For instance, the ruffled socks [ January Socks ] are sooooo nice !! Thanks.

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Your projects looks amazing! 🧶 Excellent job on the editing as well.

[@kgillespie4463]

I'm a first time viewer, watching in Vancouver, Canada. I really enjoyed this and will look forward to watching your channel in the future. Happy New Year!

[@pepperknits]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed! ❤️

[@clearwater7000]

[@diademglow3429]

Beautiful work!

[@dianelatham9566]

Hi Emily, excited to find a podcaster in Australia! I'm in Melbourne. I loved looking at all your 2023 knits and I am looking forward to watching your podcasts from now on.

[@pepperknits]

Yay so happy to find Aussie knitters! Thank you for joining

[@Bihfob3]

Love watching these everthing i knit in a year videos

[@pepperknits]

Me too! Such a good source of inspiration

[@user-pi1gl9op8e]

First time for me too watching your podcast, great to find Australian content. Loved it and now subscribed 😊

[@ludouglas1]

I was so excited to find your podcast. I live in Brisbane, Qld, so was over the moon to find an Australian. Your podcast is considered and fun, interesting and for someone who hasn't made podcasts before, you are doing a fantastic job. Lu xx

[@pepperknits]

Thank you Lu, such a kind comment! So glad you enjoyed ❤️

[@shirleyomara8112]

Beautiful knits - pattern choices, colours, fit - just lovely. Enjoy looking fab in these!

[@pepperknits]

That is so kind thank you for watching ❤️

[@karinajackson2779]

Thank you so much for sharing! You’ve introduced me to a few patterns I have not heard of and will be knitting those this coming year.

[@sreshtaarajesh]

This is the first video of yours that I've watched, and I really love your podcasting style! I'm looking forward to future videos of yours :)

[@pepperknits]

That’s so kind thank you!

[@twopurlsinapod]

Hey from Melbourne :) love seeing all your summer knits, stay cool over there chicka.

[@ccTrophy]

this was a great introduction to your channel, thanks heaps for sharing your makes! I made a Tolsta this year as well but I'm not happy with the yarn/pattern combo so I think I need to rip it out and try again. Where do you get your Drops yarns from, if you get them in Aus? I was trying to find some locally for a test knit and ended up giving up!

[@pepperknits]

Thank you so much! I’ve only bought Drops from Wool Warehouse, so I get a few project quantities at once when I order

[@vont8332]

Hi Emily, your channel popped up when I was watching my usual knitting podcasts and I was surprised to hear that you're also from Perth. Nice to hear about all your knitting projects and interesting to know that you also like Drops Lima as much as I do. I order mine from Wool Warehouse as the shipping is very reasonable. Currently enjoying knitting my 4th Field sweater 😂and there are plenty of other wips to keep me occupied. Love taking my knitting to the beach and really looking forward to wearing it all next winter. I was hoping to knit the Kerr sweater also after seeing it on the 'It is a Sarah' podcast ....I love her content. You're doing a great job too. Von.

[@pepperknits]

So happy to find another Perth knitter! Happy knitting ❤️

[@sylviafikiert4825]

Hello from Melbourne! First time watching your podcast and I like what you made in 2023 😊

[@Ginevria..Bossone]

I find your Salerno Cardigan very very elegant. I really like it. I love everything about it. Just one example: the cord finish for the wrists. So neat.

[@simonamaloney5258]

You are a prolific knitter, I just discovered your podcast! I like it❤

[@TheNordicharps]

A very enjoyable and inspirational podcast! Now subscribed 👍🥰

[@spiritsjoy]

Hi. I am a crocheter, but am trying to get better a knitting. I am working on an entrelac scarf for skill building, or, i am trying to knit it, lol, i have frogged it to restart so many times. I think its amazing that you are able to rip down or even add to a finished piece to improve or make it better..... once i make a big mistake, i always have rip it all down and redo the project. Is crazy how you can easily find on KZbin how to complete a certain stitch, but not a lot of " thorough" lessons on how to fix mistakes.... but i guess that comes with time. I really enjoyed your project walkthrough.

[@pepperknits]

You can do it! It will be so rewarding once the scarf is finished

[@saoirsebrey]

Just found your channel! Excited to see what you knit in 2024 and loved getting to hear your thoughts on each of your finished projects :) Your honey purse looks so cute! Definitely going to have to use that project for some of my scraps!

[@pepperknits]

Thank you! It is so perfect for scraps

[@RebeccaAnneKnits]

Loved your episode! I also testknit the AAA Lily tank. Im really gutted cause I forgot to download the pattern, I just accessed it in Slack and now I can't make another one. 🤦‍♀️😪 I really like your second bamboo version

[@pepperknits]

Oh no!! It’s such a great summer staple, especially in a plant fibre 💖

[@SharonCullenArt]

It definitely appears that your tension is very tight on your colorwork. You’ll need to be consciously aware of it and when it stops maybe continue a few rows in the larger needle size before dropping down? I would practice doing swatches to avoid this. It is very noticeable on both colorwork sweaters I’ve seen o you do. I am a loose knitter and actually feel I need to keep the same needle size throughout, although when I knit the Lumme once blocked I can’t tell a difference going down the needle size.

[@pepperknits]

Thanks for the advice! I think it’s mainly down to me swapping from continental to two-handed for the colourwork - I’ve noticed my English knitting is much tighter But I still love both sweaters and think they look great!

[@m.h2557]

why did you knit the zipper sweater man instead of woman? did you simply already have the pattern or was it a conscious decision for yourself?

[@pepperknits]

Good question! Yes you’re right, I already had the pattern ☺️
