I’m happy to have found another Canadian knitcaster! Beautiful projects!

[@SeedlingStitch]

Yay! Thank you!

[@brendamacdougall3749]

Please keep adding your nerdy knitting information...that is what is so refreshing about your podcast. I personally find your knitting enthusiasm very inspiring. Thank you

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you! Will do!

[@osmia]

Excited for you to talk excitedly about the nerdy stuff

[@SeedlingStitch]

Haha 🤓🤓

[@pjk4361]

So happy to see your smiling face in another lovely episode. Love your grandpa power cardigan so far. You are such a talented designer! You do not need a power sweater as you have power of your own, but it is stunning. So glad you've continued the creative work that gives you such joy, it shows in your episodes. Please keep on with the nerdy stuff, people can fast forward if they're not into it at the time. But that is a great asset you possess. Carry on, oh creative one!

[@SeedlingStitch]

🤗Thank you so much! Always happy to see your encouraging comments!

[@ilovejack100]

You are an extremely talented knitter. I love that you copied the cable pattern from a photo. Kudos to you and thank you for your willingness to share it. I would love to be a knitting nerd, I guess I'm a nerd in training. So much to learn about knitting. Thank you for a great episode and for sharing your beautiful knits.

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you so much!

[@pavlaholmgren2288]

What a lovely lovely podcast So sweet to see another expat and knitter too ☺️

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you! 😊

[@Casey-ql5xg]

Wow, your knitting is insanely cool! Loved scrolling your projects in Ravelry!

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you! 😊

Best evening knitting-time with YOU!! Greatings from Sweden 🇸🇪

Have a lovely night!

[@christinegivens9048]

American living in UK as a dual citizen. I LOVE your channel. Your English is amazing and your talent is outstanding. Your channel is quickly becoming one of my fav knitting channels. ❤🧶✨

[@SeedlingStitch]

Oh thank you so much! 🥰

[@thebooknitter]

I looooooove the idea of the grandpa cardigan from succession ❤ that is my kind of thing I would notice when watching anything. Love your proyects are always so neat

[@SeedlingStitch]

Being a knitting has transformed our way of watching TV forever! 🤣

[@thebooknitter]

@@SeedlingStitch so true

[@tangerineknits]

I know I already said this but need to give another moment of appreciation for your stunning mohair blouse!! The lace is beautiful, and your choice of material & your picot modifications has completely transformed the design! And I love the nerdy stuff haha - I know it's not easy to explain these things so I really do love that you take the time to talk through it because I find it so helpful and interesting! Now I feel empowered to add a picot edge! Besides, nerds are the best, especially knitting nerds 😂 That's so special that you created your own mitten design based on the vintage Chinese pattern dictionary, that feels like such a special project! I always come away from your videos feeling super inspired to create something new so thank you for sharing your aaamazing creations!!! And I recently read Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow as well and LOVED it. For a time I was also super inspired to knit something hokusai-wave esque, inspired by the ichigo game in the book haha. It's a great story, I was completely ugly crying throughout the book!

[@SeedlingStitch]

Oh that vintage Chinese stitch dictionary is a TREASURE! I plan to create more things from it this year. I wonder why there aren’t modern ones like it now. Nowadays it’s mostly Japanese knitting books translated in China.☹️ Tomorrow * 3 is so emotionally charged and nerdy too (about games, music, visual arts). I was a big fan of Japanese ukiyoe even before the book. I’d love it if you can transform one into knitting!🌊🌊🌊

[@avalon1259]

I love the idea of using a Turkish cast on instead of a regular provisional cast on, and it's a very smart way of making picking up stitches easier.

[@SeedlingStitch]

Yes yes! It’s my go to provisional cast on method!

[@clearwater7000]

You are amaaaazing, and I understand you perfectly...I m not fluent engl. too, and your conversation is perfect for me...but your knitting is stunning! Master peace :-)!❣Thank you!

Hi Athena, I have just discovered your channel. Your English is perfect to me! I am excited by your grandpa cardigan concept. Looks to involve quite some math though. I enjoyed very much your company and « nerdy « talk. Love from Paris (France), Marie

[@SeedlingStitch]

Merci, Marie!🥰

Beautiful projects. Please keep sharing your modifications. It's interesting knowing how you go about them.

Hello Athena 👋 greetings from Ireland, You are so creative, I look at alot of knitting podcasts but yours is my favourite, I am totally in awe of what you create.

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you so much!

[@helenfrancis2915]

You are so talented! I really enjoyed this, great variety too. Appreciate your detailed explanations. Your ‘old money daddy’ sweater looks wonderful. The shape and shawl collar reminds me of the vintage Ralph Lauren/Nancy Vale wonderful fair isle designs. ❤

[@SeedlingStitch]

Yeah I can see the resemblance of styles!

[@cleoklobucher3062]

Love the leg warmers. I knit them for myself, but I call mine ankle warmers because they keep my ankles warm

[@SeedlingStitch]

Yes that’s a more appropriate name!

[@Dingle1234]

I love the little beret. It's the nicest shape I've ever seen, beautiful colours!

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thanks! It’s very cute 😄

[@Dingle1234]

@@SeedlingStitch Something about how it hugs the head at the bottom and then sits higher than most berets. I must make one!

[@SeedlingStitch]

@@Dingle1234 I did talk more about it in an earlier episode! There’s me wearing the beret in the thumbnail picture.😄

[@Mang0Tango]

Thank you for mentioning in the notes where your music came from. I was thrown into a spiral of bittersweet nostalgia within the first couple seconds of your intro but I just couldn't remember that it was from! Beautiful works and explanations, as well :D

[@SeedlingStitch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Greetings! Thank you!

[@annel0150]

My son, (a grown man) is obsessed with the Logan Roy cardigan and has asked me to knit one for him. I will be eager to see your pattern come out so I can use it as a guide. It is looking great! I admire your creativity.

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you! That would be great!

[@karraska]

I love all of your projects! You inspire me to design my own sock patterns!

[@SeedlingStitch]

Go for it!

[@CathConnolly]

Thanks I love all the explanations

im now working on the same sweater from this cozy nest, im a beginner at sweaters & laces so its really challenge for me but im in love w it and love your modifications too! I hope I will be able to finish it haha

Good luck!

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you! We are glad!

[@ТатьянаС-й6ы]

Вам очень идут вязаные вещи, приятно вас слушать, вы молодец!

[@jimmydoesknitting]

How do you find these patterns? Love the variety. I also appreciate that you just knit things without a pattern. More of us knitters need to do that. Super interesting.

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thank you! For those Japanese patterns, I often find them discussed on Chinese social media (mostly on Red Book - the Chinese equivalent of Instagram) since a lot of those are introduced and translated. What’s popular among Chinese knitting community can be quite different from those with English community. I also follow Japanese designers and knitting magazine publishers on Instagram. Feel free to look at my followings there to see if anyone interests you!

[@jimmydoesknitting]

@@SeedlingStitch I might take a rummage in your social media then. Thanks!

[@bsfb3ar]

Gu ess w hat I jus t bought th e pattern I preferred your s the picot edge thanks for sharing I also want to know the lace. Y yoke I believe it is. A Scandinavian D esigner😊

[@bsfb3ar]

Hi Athena for the neck before you knit the pivot did you knit a few stocking knit before you did the picot? Please make some tutorial of cast. Since you have so much experience, thanks

[@SeedlingStitch]

I don’t remember what I did exactly. I think I wrote some note on my Ravelry page of this project. You can check it out!

[@nadiarogo4511]

Oh funny! I just knit the sweater from the cover of that 2018 Keitodama magazine :) I even got Jamiesons Spindrift yarn in the same color, but comparing it with Holst Supersoft, i was very disappointed. Considering that you pay 6 euros for 25 g of Spindrift but only 3 euros for 50g of Holst, i found the thick-and-thin quality of Spindrift, often knots, and how scratchy it is in comparison not so good. But at least I have the sweater in the same color :)

[@SeedlingStitch]

Oh interesting! I actually prefer Jamison’s spindrift over Supersoft (if not considering the cost). I love Spindrift’s loft and heathering. The unevenness usually blocks out for me. I prefer its thicker weight as well.

[@nadiarogo4511]

@@SeedlingStitch I have not yet worn it so maybe it's nice. I live in Germany and feel that the thicker quality might be too warm for our climate... But we'll see :) We all have our preferences. Maybe my expectations were too high based on the price haha

[@Joyceladybug]

佩服，你居然录制了中英文版本的视频，我在小破站有关注你，更喜欢你的英文channel，顺便我也可以学英语哈哈，我在阿尔伯塔，希望下次能去你的店里和你聊编织。

哈哈我都是先录英文再录中文的，英文版更有热情一些！期待在毛线店见到你哟～

[@edinacole6382]

I read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I like it but I thought there was a bit of "extra" unnecessary information not directly related to the storyline, but I do recommend the book and told my daughters they should read it

[@SeedlingStitch]

I enjoyed the “extra” digressions perhaps because I’m interested in the topics where she digressed (video games, music, city vibes,…), but I can see why one may find those distracting.

[@piafleig]

Those mittens are gorgeous! Where can I find the pattern for them?

[@SeedlingStitch]

Thanks! I’ve published them on Ravelry and my KoFi shop for free as “Vintage Shanghai Mittens”!

[@piafleig]

@@SeedlingStitch oh wow, amazing, thanks for sharing!

[@vhliit]

Would you be so kind and make a video tutorial how exactly to knit these beautiful cuffs and collar :)

[@SeedlingStitch]

I won’t be able to make tutorials, but if you search “how to knit picot edge”, there should be many good ones!

[@monicacorr6979]

Hi for the Solo scarf did you increase every 8 rows like in the Sophie scarf ?

[@SeedlingStitch]

Yes！

[@lindacornelius3451]

Greetings from Portland,. Is silk mohair scratch it all I know kids silk is scratchy, I believe, and what I have found the only do that aren’t scratch, alpaca and Siri

[@SeedlingStitch]

Drops Kid Silk can be scratchier than KFO Soft Silk Mohair. Brushed Alpaca yarn like CaMaRose Midnatssol can be even softer.

[@nadiarogo4511]

Talking about nerdy things and techniques, the more complicated the better, is what makes your channel so enjoyable. I do not like the "look at my FOs, i knit them to pattern, they look fine" knitting podcasts very much, because they do not add any value nor give educational content. In this sense, please continue as before! Or even add more nerdy things ;)

[@SeedlingStitch]

Great to hear! Will continue with the nerdy talk!

[@edinacole6382]

Next time you go visit your grandma, would you ask her if she would like to make an appearance on your podcast so we can meet this lovely lady who gives you her yarn?

[@SeedlingStitch]

She had an appearance at the very end of my “I crocheted my wedding dress” episode! She is very shy and not comfortable with camera, so she only spoke for a couple of minutes. She’s 84!
