[@toksknits]

Hi! Welcome 🤗 so happy to have you here

[@gretchenzamecki24]

Great podcast. I enjoyed seeing your review since I have the Moby in my queue. You give great points explain things so well. knit the Ingrid sweater man in peer Gynt and loved it. The stitch definition is fantastic and I am very happy with how it looks. 😊

[@wedge22]

Peer gynt is one of my favourite yarns to work with! The stitch definition is so satisfying and I hear a lot of people describe it as rustic but in my opinion it is quite soft to the touch especially after a wash and block. The weight can definitely vary between a DK-worsted especially with the tweed colourways but I find it generally knits up as a DK weight

[@sueadair7019]

Loved this review. So glad I found you on KZbin!

[@liselightDK]

Loved the video- it’s very helpful to hear your experience in detail 🤗

[@toksknits]

@@liselightDK thank you..so glad to hear that. It took a lot of effort but so worth it in the end

[@tommelot7017]

Thank you for this video. I started the Moby sweater about a month ago and unraveled it 3 times. Your video inspired me to start it again. 😊 It looks great on you!!

[@toksknits]

I hope you start over and hopefully finish it. The beginning is definitely frustrating because of how the pattern is explained

[@chet1051]

LisaR: Great review of Moby :) Yours looks fabulous. I chose a different pattern bc of the back , once I started it ,I was unsure of the instructions also . Thanks for clarifying! I used Yankee Knitter pattern "Fisherman knit" modified sleeves at sides for less ease / easy mod . Gorgeous pattern- no chart but didn't need one - very intuitive . As far as Cascade 220 , I've used for a vest for husband with zipper - uses outside for yard work & been through rough use - looks great with very minimal pilling - color is a heathered gray- not sure if dye would make a difference... ❤

[@themakingskye]

I was really wondering if this was the right pattern for me! Thanks for your review, Joyin 😊

[@toksknits]

@@themakingskye it was so fun to film this. It really is such a lovely sweater

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

Beautiful knitting as always. Great review. 🧶😊

[@toksknits]

Thank you Stephanie!

[@taylerchumbley7353]

I’m so glad I found this video! I want to knit my first cable sweater this year, and the Moby is a top contender. If I do decide to knit the Moby, I think this video will help a LOT.

[@22Tya]

Thank you so much for your review, I want to knit the Moby but I don’t want to end up regretting it. BTW that shade of green looks amazing against your skin tone 😊

[@Sankofahandmade]

Toya here!! 🙋🏽‍♀️ hey girl hey! Love the video as usual 🫶🏾

[@toksknits]

@@Sankofahandmade hey! 🤗❤️❤️❤️

[@sujin012]

I bought the pattern after watching this. Thank you for the helpful review!

[@toksknits]

@@sujin012 oh yay! I hope you cast it on soon

[@Enig_Mata]

Great review! I've had the Moby on my wishlist for a while now and your sweater is the inspiration I need to knit one. Similar to Spot Sweater - another pattern I really want to knit - I know there are some things I will need to modify so that makes me procrastinate. Your best friend is so lucky to have you knit all these beautiful sweaters.

[@toksknits]

@@Enig_Mata oh I’m so glad to hear you want to knit the Moby. I think everyone needs one. I’m not a big gift knitter but I definitely need to knit him one because he won’t stop asking for one 😂

[@Jess38]

I'd love an Ingrid Sweater review ❤

[@toksknits]

@@Jess38 I’ll definitely film one!

[@azariamckay]

This isnconvincing me to pick up the Moby sweater! Thanks so much for your review 😊

[@toksknits]

It’s definitely a staple piece!

[@eelsify]

Omg you're the lady from reddit!! I feel like I'm meeting a celebrity.

[@toksknits]

@@eelsify haha hi! 🤗

[@eelsify]

@toksknits I admire you so much! Great to find you here.

[@amberbrosnan7725]

I agree with all your pros and cons on the Moby Sweater. Definitely try Peer Gynt! Highly recommend! ❤

[@toksknits]

@@amberbrosnan7725 I definitely will soon!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Excellent review. Thanks! 🧶

[@toksknits]

Thank you and thanks for watching! 🤗

[@ribbit8341]

my Moby has been on timeout since March of last year, with only 1/2 sleeve and Italian bind of of the body left to do. I lost my mojo with it, but I'm inspired to pick it up again thanks to your video!

[@toksknits]

@@ribbit8341 I was struggling towards the end too but you can do it!

[@Naturallyvegan]

Im knitting the moby for my children and the Ingrid for me. The mock cables are what I'm afraid of lol

[@toksknits]

@@Naturallyvegan the mock cables are really not fun but I think the overall texture does make you want to finish it

[@ingridspinknitlove1192]

I definitely want a review of the Ingrid sweater. I’m all ready to cast it on but the complaints about the lack of detail on the underarm decreases are putting me off. I’m a very experienced knitter but hate when designers who use charts are lazy about the more complex elements of decreases (like getting the pattern to line up).

[@toksknits]

@@ingridspinknitlove1192 oh yes that’s definitely an issue with the Ingrid. I’ll film a review of it soon and talk about what I did to fix it 🤗

[@carlafawcett6494]

I bought the junior size for all my grandies ! Lovely sweater and yes Peer Gynt is a heavy dk

[@toksknits]

@@carlafawcett6494 oh the smaller sizes are so cute. I really want to knit the baby version but I don’t know anyone with a baby who would want one 😂

[@carlafawcett5667]

@ I have grand baby #13 on the way so it will get used lots!

[@karolinejones3407]

Thank you so much! I think I'll try to make this one day, its just such a beautyfull sweater. I so so so agree with you about the sizing for us busty girls. If I go for my recommended size and positiv ease, the finished result is always way too big on me! I'm currently making a Lumme pullover by Sari Nordlund with negative ease.

[@artandbooks5850]

Peer gynt is a great yarn! No pilling, great to knit with, becoming one of my favorite yarns. I am making my second Amy Sweater in Peer Gynt after making my first one with it and will make the Eva Cardigan in it too. Highly recommend!

[@Enig_Mata]

I have not used Peer Gynt yet, but I've heard is a workhorse yarn. Eva cardigan construction is my favorite - I have knit 3 Eva sweaters.

[@toksknits]

I definitely have to try it. I’ve had another Eva cardigan on my mind

[@AD-uw3xs]

I think a number of cable patterns recommend a thicker yarn with smaller needles so that the cabled texture can pop. Going up a needle size may collapse the relief patterning. But it looks like her patterns have a lot of wiggle room and can tolerate a number of needle sizes.

[@alisakhan1252]

Were you using the suoerwash version of 220? There's a superwash and non-superwash, so that would likely make a difference in the piling...

[@toksknits]

@@alisakhan1252 no I used the non-superwash one

[@rosalie-l2d]

❤❤❤ Thanks for the excellent review as usual

[@toksknits]

Thank you 🤗❤️❤️

[@alyssaticino6503]

I’m surprised to hear 220 pills for others. I made an Ingrid in 220 2 years ago and wear it often. Just found my first pill yesterday.

[@toksknits]

Yes I was surprised that a few people said that. I thought it was generally known as a workhorse yarn

Ravelry being mostly American is a very American take lol
