The Knitting Stories Podcast - Ep. 04 | FOs, WIPS, plans and happy birthday to me!

[@rosemaryedwards3293]

You Twisted Loop top is beautiful! Don't worry about ot having many finished objects - not everybody has the time to sit and knit all day, every day. Personally I usually only have 2 knitting projects at any one time - a complicated or colour work pattern, and a simple project to knit whilst watching TV. Hope you had a great birthday!

There is absolutely no pressure. Its a hobby and you should enjoy. I personally love watching you and what you knit. It’s inspiring. I watched a podcast today and she had loads of Wips. That would be so overwhelming for me. I have one main project, one blanket (which is a year long mystery knit along) and something for knitting groups like socks. If i have any more than that i get overwhelmed. Everyone’s different and should do what makes them happy ❤

Thank you so much, it's so nice to hear your thoughts and to feel understood 🥰🥰❤

Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉

Good for you, trying new constructions with your tee! I really enjoy your podcast, and I appreciate getting to hear about a project in process. I don't expect to hear about lots of finished projects every time. Also, I appreciate hearing your experience with different yarns. I rarely get to use the recommended yarn for projects, ☀

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it 🥰🥰

Thank you for a wonderful episode🥰 What a beautiful Twisted Loop top! You should never feel any pressure to have more knitting projects then what is right for you. I have a lot of knitting time because I can't work. And I actually often feel embarrassed that I have many finished projects in a month😅 We all have different amount of time to knit. And both is okay❤ Hope you had a great birthday🎉

I can't thank you enough for your comment 🩷 You're right, we all have different times, and the important thing is that we still manage to do something we are passionate about, doesn't matter how much we produce 🥰

The colour of your twist loop top suits you so well. The ribbing and cabling really gives it some dimension to make it pop and not blend in with your skin tone. 👌

[@elisaknittingstories]

Thank you! This is a relief 😂🥰

[@SimpleBegiknits]

@@elisaknittingstories For sure! It’s so stressful when you feel unsure about yarn! It can be hard to trust the process sometimes. 🤪

Hi 🙋 I‘m here for a cozy company while knitting or sewing myself. I‘m happy to learn tricks or infomation about choosing and caring for yarn/ handmade garments. I like ultra slow fashion. The ultra comes from needing extra time for picking colour, yarn, the feeling of it, making mistakes, frogging, chaning mind… 😅

[@elisaknittingstories]

Hi! I absolutely understand you! Sometimes I need days just to choose yarn and colour for my projects. It is one of the parts I enjoy the most, and I don't want to rush it! 😂 So glad for you sharing your opinion 🤍

Your top looks beautiful and happy Birthday 🎉

Just discovered your channel and am enjoying it so much!❤

[@elisaknittingstories]

Happy birthday, I hope you had a great day! 🥳 No need to apologise! I just found your channel last week, and i'm not watching for the amount of FO's but your take on knitting. 🙂 But I can understand why you feel pressure. Sometimes I feel a little stressed and ungrateful for my own knitting pace, when I watch the knitting podcasters who gets a lot done. I'm also the type who likes to work on one project at the time (sometimes two) and i'm trying not to feel the pressure 🙂 So it's nice too have found a podcaster who works similar to me 🙂

[@Kris2397]

Oh.. and the top you're wearing is very beautiful! :)

[@elisaknittingstories]

Reading your words has made my day! I just love how supportive the knitting community is. Thanks for your kind words 💕💕

[@thecreativeknitrovert]
