I love the flower you embroidered on Darcy's sweater! So cute! Also, love the Paul cardigan you knitted. Your stitching looks very neat and professional!

[@janbatin4708]

The podcast was great, and the bird story made me laugh out loud. Happy that your Toronto experience was memorable. 🎶🧶🎶. Forgot to tell you how much I love your cardigan. What a stunning color.

[@lauriejarboe6087]

great podcast and that Paul Cardigan is fantastic!! Congrats on winning Yarn Chicken!! Can't wait to see your embroidery journey.

[@gemsxgabby2534]

I love the bird story - I would have probably eaten the wrap quickly too!

[@AtelierCastin]

Such a nice episode ! Love the bright colors for the Paul Cardigan and the Sea Salt Tee !😍 And I can confirm, the Cognac Cardigan will be released beginning of June 🤗

yay love that you met another knitter who is Laos! Id love to meet more SE asian knitters too (im cambodian and mexican) and suspect they might be more into crochet. my mom recently said she taught herself how to crochet lace to keep her busy when she was pregnant with me. cool how fiber crafts run in our families and help us connect to our cultures! i loooooove the green of your cardigan!

[@Knitworking_jen]

I admire your restraint at the Knot City Marketplace! I couldn’t resist. Love your highlighter green Paul cardigan!

[@pottery444]

Very nice to see someone from Laos on KZbin so proud of you ( I’m fromLaos too )!

[@naiphan340]

Yay, me too!

[@meganarlin4968]

I'm glad to hear about The Knitting Loft, it's located right were I used to live when I was living in North York 😊 I discovered them randomly online as the first Canadian yarn store I came accross. Go Canada Knitters🍁 I love your aesthetic a lot, it always looks store bought, neat and stylish 👍🏾😁✨

[@JulieCrawfordknittedbliss]

I'm so glad you like the Cats in Sweaters kit!! And Lichen and Lace embroidery yarn is brilliant ❤

[@liseturgeon2221]

I already start my Paul cardigan , received my cascade yarn Wednesday, thank you for the infos and we were very happy to meet you and your friends a Knit City Toronto , ❤

[@stringthingsbymel]

I'm so excited you're making a Paul Cardigan too! Thank you for the chat; it was great to meet you in Toronto!

[@karenmiller1665]

I was so excited to see that you are making the top sol. Two of my adult daughters asked me to make this for them and I have already purchased pattern and am waiting for my yarn to be delivered.

[@melissalampman7214]

Hi Melissa, I live on a small island off Vancouver Island and I have a friend from Laos, she has lived in Canada maybe,27 years, she is a excellent cook, and very proficient at everything she does! Like you! Take care, Melissa.

[@PelafinaLievre]

Thanks for the long episode. I made a proper sized swatch during it, which is impressive for me because I swatched once and got odd results so am doing it the second time.

[@knitssinprogress]

Thanks for the recap .. also my knitting list always gets longer after I watch one of your podcasts 😂

[@Ynnsie]

Thanks, Mel. I was sorry that you didn't show any photos of Knit City. I was quietly cursing organizers for holding it on Victoria Day weekend when I, along with many Torontonians, skip town. Also, I saw the cognac cardi in your Ravelry and contacted Marine to know when it's coming. End of May she hoped. Nice person!

[@metasymphony]

I too travelled with a wet cardigan that I was blocking recently 😆 It took a total of 4 days to dry, but it was worth it

[@stockinette_only]

Thank you for a long episode! Great content.

[@stringthingsbymel]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@boutiquelamaillerie]

It was so wonderful to meet you ! ♡ Thank you so much for the mention and we love your podcast. x More of PetiteKnit accessories are coming soon (!!!)

[@stringthingsbymel]

Wonderful to meet you too! Looking forward to more PetiteKnit accessories.

[@boutiquelamaillerie]

@@stringthingsbymel We receive some new one ! ♡

[@adagreve9836]

Winning yarn chicken is so satisfying!

[@stringthingsbymel]

It really is. I almost wish I was playing yarn chicken with every project haha.

[@CharlotteEliza]

you've definitely become my favourite knitting channel. I'm obsessed with the green colour you chose for your cardigan! So nice to watch fellow BC knitters ❤❤

[@stringthingsbymel]

Thank you so much 💓 💗

[@corteofs]

I love the Kollage needles, however find them difficult to set even with the tool and I have a pair that will not hold to the cable after only a few hours of use :-( I hope I can meet them at a booth eventually to see what I did wrong

[@catherineo2855]

hello from Toronto. Love your Paul cardigan. Do you recommend the mohair that you used? How does it compare with Rowan kidsilk haze?

[@stringthingsbymel]

Hello! The mohair is very smooth and soft for me. I haven't used any Rowan mohair yet so I cannot say how it compares.
