Hi Mandy! A beautiful year of knits and that pink dress looks gorgeous on you! I also have similar problems with certain yarns when I weave in ends - you can definitely see the weave-in line on the right side of the fabric. What I find helps is to unweave some of the yarn, leaving just enough woven to keep the yarn join secure, but then let the unwoven yarn just hang loosely on the inside so that there is no risk of the “join” coming apart. Hope that makes sense, Happy New Year!

Watched this while working on my folklore cardigan (which I have been enjoying working on SO much even though I was previously a cable hater), and I just wanted to say that your Swiftie enthusiasm really warmed my heart. I'm so excited to finally be doing this project and your genuine excitement and contentedness about a project that truly combines things you love is so motivating. I can't wait to cozy up in mine when it's done!

I am loving everything! When you said you knitted a bulky weight dress, I doubted you for a moment there, but it is STUNNING and you look amazing in it! As a DC native, it gets a little colder in Jan/Feb, but you're right, not much. There's like one day in the teens but it's usually above freezing. I need to go somewhere where I can really test out the warmth of my sweaters!

Yes, we'll have some cold days but not too many! I'm originally from Pittsburgh which is only 4 hours away, but even there I feel like the air is just *colder* than DC haha.

I’m only at the first cardigan…the lilac one. It’s very pretty and I think your proposed modifications would absolutely make that sweater younger and fresher. As a fairly new knitter, it was helpful for me to think about the mods and see the potential of customizing. I vote (lol, as if I have a vote!) for cropping and shortening the sleeves!😊

You made so many great items last year. Even the things that didn't work out still look interesting to me as a total newbie, and seems like you had some good learning experiences. Your "Barbie" dress in particular is just wonderful. If you're worried about structural integrity, perhaps anchoring it to a woven slip/lining could help?

Hey There Mandy. Sally from Australia here. I have been knitting 60 years. Knitting in panels was how I learnt, and vintage patterns will be written this way. The fit is better under the arms than round yokes, which always seem to have so much fabric under the arms. Joining yarns. I too lay the new yarn over the old and knit several stitches, however I was taught to do this as much as possible at the end/beginning of a row, which avoids that odd look you mentioned. If you are working in the round, this could be on the side seam position where it would be less noticeable. I have tried other joining techniques but I do come back to this one again and again. Keep up the good work.

I think that a lot of summer knits are not size appropriate, rather than not being size inclusive. I think it’s up to us curvy girls to figure out some more flattering designs for ourselves that still check the “summer” box!
