Sweater Weather is here and I'm in my first new sweater knit of the season! Have you got your sweaters out or did you never put them away? What do you think of Tweed Haze?

[@key8422]

1933 based on the pants. Thank you for the podcast...makes my day when these are uploaded.

[@TheWoolpatch]

Aww you're very welcome. I love doing them. They are fun to make and put together. Thanks for watching and commenting - I love joining in with it all

[@FizzBradley]

That sweater is awesomely amazing, splendiferously excellent!!! 😍😍

[@FizzBradley]

It does look fabulous. Very sunny episode so far, with all the orange and yellow. 🧡💛

[@sauces_official]

Irene is a master of her craft.

[@TheWoolpatch]

Isn't she just.

[@debrariley2057]

What a lovely set of makes. Thank you for taking the time to put up these videos,

[@TheWoolpatch]

Aw thanks Debra. I love making them and sharing with you, it's a lovely little community growing here. Thanks for stopping by and watching and joining in. Stuart

[@MsBeadee]

Another great episode Stuart - loved your jumper and the scarf and the lovely scandi christmas table set for your window. Also always enjoy the gallery - love to see what others are doing. Didn't get the exact year but did choose the 1960's decade. Looking forward to your next podcast. :)

[@TheWoolpatch]

Thanks for watching and commenting - I do love how the show gets us discussing and sharing and agree with what you say about the Gallery. Well done on getting the decade, closer than I was for sure hahaha.

[@covkimbo]

Great episode and I loved all of the finished objects….i love that jumper! I was close….1962 was my guess! Xx

[@TheWoolpatch]

Thanks! Least you was in the right decade! I was miles out haha. Lovely having you watching

[@margaretillingworth6172]

Absolutely colourtastic Stuart. I want one too

[@TheWoolpatch]

I love that term! colourtastic! Certainly brightens up an autumn day for sure!

[@FizzBradley]

Great episode! Found lots of goody things to buy and make.

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Stuart, always a pleasure to watch your channel... fun and colourful to the end 🌈. I love your Sal... and very happy to be named after such a great pattern 😉. How gorgeous is that scarf too 💞... I love the chevrons and those colours 👌... perfect for autumn. It makes me wish I had time to knit and crochet..but I sew clothes mostly and never seem to have enough time for that 😊. I adore your scandi fabrics too... especially the trees 🌲🌲🌲. Thanks again for a great episode Stuart 👌💖😘

[@TheWoolpatch]

Hey Sally, aww thanks for you kind words! Love your messages and love the emjois - a pleasure to read! hahah yes, you must be feeling chuffed with having a pattern named after you haha. DO you sew in the evenings? A lot of people seem to knit in the evenings now the clocks have gone back, whilst watching tv. Or are you in a sewing room doing your dressmaking? I'm getting the dressmaking bug for sure - but currently sat in front of the fire with a sherry and the laptop....and my knitting hahah

[@sallydingle321]

@@TheWoolpatch oh hi Stuart, I sew mostly in the afternoons when I get chance, on my dinning table or in my spare bedroom. I find that I like natural light these days 😉. I think I could perhaps manage knitting or crocheting in the evenings if I ever get around to it. Funnily enough, I've just watched a video from the Stitch Sisters on you tube on how to crochet and I'm quite keen to try it 👍😁. It might keep the brain ticking in the evenings 😋. Take care Stuart and looking forward to your next video 🙏😘

[@julielowes5991]

1964 was my guess... looked like James Bond on a day off! Your sweater is FABULOUS!!!! Definitely sweater weather....my Sami got it's first outing last week 😊 Another great episode... thank you 👍

[@TheWoolpatch]

Very much James Bond on a day off haha. Thanks Julie for your kind words. It is Sweater Weather now and loving it. (though today was sooo sunny and warm, I was in a tee!!!). Stuart

[@MrSquirrelDog]

That sweater is a mood booster!! 🌈 ❤️

[@TheWoolpatch]

haha sure is isn't it!

[@elainecawley771]

Loving your jumper Stuart, the colours are amazing xx

[@TheWoolpatch]

Aww thanks Elaine. Certainly brightens up a day and a mood hey!

[@tjcowling8989]

Fabulous show as always Stewart 👍👏🤗

[@TheWoolpatch]

Thanks Teeg as always! Hope you're well.I can't wait to feature you finsihed dresden quilt in the Gallery. How's the quilting going of it?

[@teddy-3765]

Tweed Haze is very tempting -I'm very fond of Kidsilk Haze for doll stuff, so for making full sized things, Tweed Haze sounds ideal. I love the lok of the zickzck scarf, that pattern would look gorgeous as a long loose cardi. I was 1 year out on the guess the date - I guessed my birth yer of 1967

[@TheWoolpatch]

Good Idea about the Tweed Haze yes - I think you're right. As for the zick zack as a cardi - oooo! It's such a simple pattern too getting the chevron so you could easily adapt it into a pattern. As Ken Bruce would say.....oooooo 1 year out! Well done.

[@rdelineyt]

I absolutely love that jumper, and it fits you like a dream! Do try to let Irene out of the shop from time to time. With that level of output, I doubt she even gets a tea break.

[@MrGORDO379]

hay stuart, love love love this episode love the pride jumper look fabulous on you, I had a good guess of the year and was one year out I said 1965 lol I was going off the golf club the guy had in his hand, any ways great seeing you again love the scarf and the colourway, take care gordon :)

[@TheWoolpatch]

Hey Gordon! Aww cheers. It did come out well didn't it. Oooo one year out for you! Good idea about looking for clues to help guess the year. Can't wait to start the 'High Wire' crochet pattern. What's on your hook at the moment?

[@MrGORDO379]

@@TheWoolpatch nice stuart, the high wire crochet pattern sounds great I can't wait to see it finished, I have a few things on my hooks atm a couple of projects I'm tying to finish so I can start new crocheting some other things :)

[@margaretgeorge3903]

Beautiful jumper.

[@GoAheadAndMakeMe]

Oooh epic sweater! Love it! ⭐️

[@TheStoutStitch]

Love! It looks amazing on you!

[@FizzBradley]

😊😊😊 I had so much fun with those quilts. I'd love to do a few more.

[@TheWoolpatch]

I can tell! Isn't it lovely when you enjoy something so much want to do more and do so easily and it just happens. Was the grey fade one all from stash too - if so that's even more a joyous result.

[@FizzBradley]

@@TheWoolpatch The fade, I used the same fabric suggestions for the move over quilt, and then had to find a bunch of solids. One of the fabrics, (the white leaf design,) was going to be the backing for my rainbow but I went with a teal instead. Although, I didn't have a lot of stash, some came from it. I've gone a little crazy on fabric lately.

[@annieboulton5759]

Hi Stuart. I enjoyed the show. The knits are gorgeous. Your jumper looks fab too. I think the Christmas table runner looked lovely set out in your shop window, Love the Scandi prints xxx

[@TheWoolpatch]

Thanks Annie! The table runner looked amazing didn't it. So many talented people around. What's your next project? x

[@annieboulton5759]

@@TheWoolpatch sewn 5 rows of my Akaska rainbow also half a sock on my needles lol, pathetic!!!! I want to sew my little rocking horses for Christmas Corinne Lapiere she has fun feltpatterns. I make a few every year. I'll send you a pic 🙂

[@FizzBradley]

Baby Yoda ❤️

[@margaretgeorge3903]

Tweed Haze - Clear Blue is for me, fantastic. Love the scarf🥰. I have to say the orange hat, looked like you had an orange on your head 😬

[@TheWoolpatch]

Hahah yes it did didn't it Margaret. It was a tight beanie. The clear blue is a glorious colour, and one of the best selling ones so far this season.

[@tomice]

Loved the episode. Especially love the sweater pity it’s knit flat otherwise I’d be tempted. You’re also a complete temptress with the Xmas fabric. I so don’t need more but I’m so so tempted.

[@teddy-3765]

Convert the pattern to knitting in the round... He suggests blithely without looking at the pattern to see if it's remotely possible...

[@tomice]

@@teddy-3765 I’m tempted to do so, I’m got the Ann Budd book to help me and it’s just a case of slotting in the stitch pattern.. either that or I’ll just knit a Beauceron which looks very similar

[@TheWoolpatch]

Yeah, I understand about the flat knitting....WYS need to do some more modern knitting styles I think. Appeal to many more knitters. Do you have a Christmas colour theme at Jimbo towers?

[@FizzBradley]

1966! Oh no. I was way off. 😂😂

[@FizzBradley]

It was the golf club for me. I was thinking that looks old.

[@natasha4467]

Fab episode! I stumbled across your vlog during the sewing bee series. I’m a dressmaking sewer (sewist?!) but you’ve inspired me to learn to knit :-) It’s v early days for me but OMG that zick Zack scarf is amazing. Do you and your team ever sell your completed knits? I’d love to have a scarf like that without having to wait the years it would take me to get my skill level to that standard!!!

[@TheWoolpatch]

Hey Natasha! What a lovely comment to come to! Thrilled you've found the vlog after the bee and that you're now going to learn to knit! Wonderful!! Yes, the zick zack scarf is beautiful and a good knit to do for a beginner. As you say, early days. No rush with learning - just keep doing it! I do indeed sell our completed kits. Some kits/finished projects have a shelf life, take for example the Tweed Haze Scarf (the copper orangy one). I think I will only stock this yarn for the winter. I can't see me stocking it next spring and next winter. I'm too small, and my locals want to see different things regularly too. That means the scarf will go at the end of the season. So I always say to customers, ask. If you don't ask you don't get. So if you ever see anything, just ask, and I'll say if it has a 'shelf life' or not. We also do commissions, Irene would knit that scarf for you. It would just be the kit (£30) and £20 for her to knit it. So two options for you. You may be interested in my SEW WHAT videos with master tailor, couturier Carol too. I'm only a very beginner dressmaker. Lovely having you in our little community :). Stuart

[@karenoliverelevation4555]

Must get that scarf kit! Love the colours 🌈 Any news on your Woad wool yet?

[@TheWoolpatch]

Got more kits coming in as they all sold out which is brilliant. Sadly my wool is still at the mill:( Won't be a 2021 collection now I don't think. But, good news is I'll have a 2022 collection early haha. I may even take that collection to the new yarn festival that is being held in Norwich in March! So it's all worked out well really. Hope you holiday away went well....pics looked awesome.

[@katyae6160]

Damn I guessed '67!

[@TheWoolpatch]

Ooooo 1 year out!

[@teddy-3765]

You look like you raided my wardrobe from back when I was slim

[@thehappystitcher1796]

Isn't that fuzzy yarn itchy though? It looks itchy : )

[@TheWoolpatch]

Yes, it can be - the mohair content isn't for everyone. It's very soft, but It can be irritating/itchy. It irritates me, I can put up with wearing wool but I couldn't wear this round my neck. As a jumper it would be fine. Some people will feel itchy just from looking at it for sure haha. Stuart

[@FizzBradley]

1942😂😂

[@TheWoolpatch]

You were just as far out as me! hahaha

[@felicitygee381]

I thought 1954 🙄

[@TheWoolpatch]

Still closer than my guess of the 80's haha.

[@felicitygee381]

@@TheWoolpatch Hey Stuart, just got around to a proper comment. I LOVED that jumper on you, so colourful and such an amazing inspiration to take it from the pattern into something so colourful. Loving the growth in your filming and editing, you are creating quality content I was most taken by the chevron scarf, I would love to make it, (and wear it!😎) but am not sure I will have the patience for knitting this year with so many projects half done (phds) to do. It's been a difficult week and your new episode was a bright spark, thanks.
