Love the pod! So happy to see someone who else gets in a silly goofy mood when filming! For the tie front top, I loooove the short sleeve idea. Something about the oversized body with fitted, decreasing sleeves (as the pattern is written) feels a little unbalanced to me, and I also think short sleeve overall just feels a bit more wearable.

[@theknittingpaige]

thank you! I think I am going to do short sleeves and also make a modification so that the peplum is knit in the round. I saw a top like that when I was at the mall and I think it will make for some great mindless knitting and a slightly different look.

@@theknittingpaige I started looking up a sewing pattern exactly like that after watching this video. Totally love that idea!!

If you're looking for a good intro to steeking/all over colorwork, I really really recommend the "rural symphony pullover" by Ailbiona Mclochlainn.. I finished it about a month ago and I'm OBSESSED. It's a steeked v neck with added shawl collar and steeked armholes. It's aran weight so a much quicker project to try those techniques. and she made the steek very easy and approachable. It's such a fun sweater to wear and make. Also I think short sleeves on the tie top are the way to go. love the sort of cinched short sleeve you showed on the Pinterest pic too

[@theknittingpaige]

I will need to check it out! Definitely want to steek something this year! And I'm going to commit to short sleeves, but I'm not sure what type of sleeve I will do yet.

Loved your podcast. It was funny when you said you we’re playing yarn chicken, cause my response it always knit faster like that makes sense so it was cute to see that I am not the only one. My only suggestion with the pretty green tie front top is if your yarn is going to be draped enough for that yarn, and if not I would probably go long sleeve just a suggestion

[@theknittingpaige]

Thanks I think i will make them short sleeved! I'm hoping to film another podcast to have up for next week where I can talk about some other modifications I want to make. I think the yarn should drape decently well because of the silk content, but I will see how it turns it.

[@theknittingpaige]

Also I love that you share the same yarn chicken energy

Who is the designer of the hof sweater? If you said that and I missed it I'm sorry haha but it's so cute!! Curious to see more of their designers. Love it. :)

[@theknittingpaige]

The designer is knitterfromiceland and hopefully the design will be released soon!
