Strikkechick Podcast Episode 16 | Gift knitting, a leftovers sweater and my most ambitious project

It's been a crazy few weeks of knitting! I've finished my sweater made entirely from leftover yarns as part of the #scrappystashymal hosted by ‪@littlebigknits‬ and I'm making such good progress on my Saleya vest for my mom and Lillehammer '94 sweater (the most detailed colorwork sweater I've ever knit!) Grab your needles and cup of tea and join me :)

It is amazing how short time you are a knitter but producing a patterns and a beautiful knits.

[@TheStrikkechick]

Thank you so much! I’ve definitely discovered a passion for it and have absolutely loved becoming a part of the knitting community, so that’s made it so fun to keep knitting and designing ❤️

[@Lennongrils]

That Eyre sweater is exactly the kind of cabled goodness I've been looking for! Also your ski sweater is absolutely fabulous, I can't believe how quickly you're flying through the intricate colourwork.

[@TheStrikkechick]

Thank you so much! I feel so accomplished wearing Eyre ☺️ Honestly it’s that same feeling that’s driving me to finish the Lillehammer sweater - I’m just so excited to wear it and feel like a talented knitter 😅

[@bebegranger9417]

Your designs are beautiful. I love seeing young knitters and knitwear designers. I plan on knitting several of your patterns.

[@TheStrikkechick]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see what you make ☺️

[@bernicejames8014]

[@TheStrikkechick]

Absolutely love the sunset sweater it’s stunning ❤, so is the colour work one.

[@TheStrikkechick]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like them. The Lillehammer sweater is finished now and I’m so excited to wear it

[@sanhay4197]

So I am not alone knitting ribbing while video gaming! 🎉

[@TheStrikkechick]

Yes! I’m not a fan of knitting ribbing so the distraction helps it fly by ☺️

[@Amy-tn3qv]

I am looking forward to your yellow Easter sweater! 🐰🌻

[@TheStrikkechick]

Me too! I’m planning to cast it on before our road trip but the Lillehammer sweater has been receiving my undivided attention at the moment ☺️

[@deborahderosa4987]

If you don’t like it, I’ll take it. :)

[@TheStrikkechick]

Haha thanks ☺️ It’s growing on me, but at first I wasn’t sure because it looks different than what I’d pictured in my head

[@lavetakucholtz4139]

I really want your free pattern for the scrappy stashy make a long. Thx

[@TheStrikkechick]

Happy to hear that! I’ll be working on writing it up after the Easter holidays ☺️

[@deborahderosa4987]

Do they sell yarn - do they sell anything- in the circle? Now, make sure you use it for sanity and not procrastination b/c it’s SO easy to postpone writing. How would I know that? Don’t ask.

[@TheStrikkechick]

They actually have an amazing selection of wool up here! I recently did a video tour of the yarn stores in Tromsø if you’re interested in checking it out ☺️ And I definitely feel that with the writing procrastination - I’ve just now submitted my first journal article for publication over a year after being done with the research 😅
