Thank you for being vulnerable, Paige! It’s sad how often one of our biggest passions and stress relievers can cause anxiety. Whenever knitting gets to me like that, I know it’s time to reframe my approach to it. And that’s exactly what you’ve been doing! You’re doing great and I hope you can get that cardigan off your needles soon.

Thank you ❤️

Sending good thoughts and big hugs to you. Thank you for sharing your experience with test knitting. I hope you'll stop feeling guilt and just start enjoying that cardigan, it's really beautiful/

Thank you ❤️

Just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your videos and came back to finish watching it. Beautiful hand dyed yarns from Canada also remind me of some Ecology classes I took in uni long time ago 😊 and you are getting more yarn this month! 😮 wow! enjoy knitting in this lovely season 💕

[@theknittingpaige]

Ahh thank you so much!

For the chunky weight yarn check out the essential beanie. This pattern offers 5 or six yarn weights. I knit it in sport and in chunky and it is fantastic.

Thanks will do!

When you sew buttons on the shoulders of your orange sweater it will look if it can be opened en it’s normal you have two seams.

Idk much about adding zippers in to knitting, but in sewing typically if you can't find the right length zipper you would go with a longerzipper since the end can be tuck in/cut after it's sewn in

[@theknittingpaige]

Thanks this makes sense

Don’t feel guilty about the test knit! Life happens and at the end of the day test knitting is more of a favour and contribution to the community to have well-written patterns than anything else! You can still send any notes you’ve made to the designer and I don’t think you need to buy the pattern! Totally understand your guilt and burnout of test knits but like I said life sometimes just gets in the way and test knitting isn’t a contractual thing!

Thank you for this ❤️

[@user-gh3cl8xk5c]

I love your choice of bold colour!! I love neutrals, but I find it so refreshing to see your outfits on instagram

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you 😊 I love a statement piece

[@ameliamargaurite3150]

You did indeed press record 😂 love your podcasts. And I was very glad you talked about the realities of your test knit. I'm super interested in trying to test knit but the stress of not meeting deadlines seems like it'd be difficult, yet I don't hear people talk about it. So thank you for sharing, and I hope the guilt lifts soon ❤

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you for this ❤️

2at a time toe up just rocks try the fledge heel it fit me and those I knit socks for the best

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you 😊 I’ll give it a go for my next set of toe up socks

[@jessicathomas162]

I’ve been waiting that Sandnes Garn Icons booklet for so long now! I’m amazed you found a copy!! All of the patterns are so classic and would make heirloom worthy knits. Can’t wait to see your versions :)

True north yarn co sells them and ships to the states!
