[@Oldfashionlady]

Love what you're wearing!!! Luscious and lovely!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Oh thank you!

[@FiberFlossandFiction]

So delighted to have found your podcast! I’m totally in love with all your projects and I can’t wait to see your video with Jen about the Gr8 mods. She is an awesome person and her attention to design details is AMAZING. I really appreciated your thoughts on making and the craft we all love. Thank you for sharing that and all your wonderful projects. 💖

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you Anne! I so appreciate your kind words. I filmed with Jen and now just need to finish this sweater and edit lol, I hope it's helpful and inspiring--it sure was for me!

[@FiberFlossandFiction]

@@Lily_curatorial_knits I can't wait to watch! I am planning on casting on her Gone to Seed top for September and I love all the smart details she brings to things.

[@zoedoodle]

I enjoyed your 'rambling', your joy in knitting that shines through and your approach to things that don't work for you.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much, Linda! I'm glad that you enjoyed it and I hope you'll subscribe and stick around! It's a really wonderful community and I"m so happy to have you!

[@brookwillow]

Your message at the end about honoring our knits was really nice ❤️

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Oh, thank you so. We have a beautiful community and I just want to recognize that the craft that brings us joy is also rare and special. Thank you for watching and engaging! Big hugs, Lily

I agree about a tubular bind off. I was surprised at how unstretchy my sleeve cuffs were on the metamorphic. They’re fine, but there will be no rolling up my sleeves. It’s good to hear you feel the same way.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

I did a Jenni’s stretchy on my lento just today and it’s just lovely! No non-tubular shame! 😂 🤗

[@msfreshfood1111]

BTW, I really enjoyed your podcast. You are a knitting machine! Beautiful work.

[@cindyg.8425]

Love that color on you. The sweater is a beauty. Do not blame you for froggin’ the piece… be at peace with it, I try to tell myself same when this happens. Not always easy. The Spincycle yarn sweater is so nice. Hope you wear this on a visit as I would love to see it on. I just finished Aimee Sher’s Coloring Book Tee…. Her patterns are so good, so well written. Loved all the video from your visit within Germany, fabulous. I so appreciate all the honesty you provide. I love that you speak with humor and kindness. Looking forward to next visit. Thank you for today!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much, Cindy! It was absolutely so much fun to knit the blue piece and I know I'll wear the spin cycle top all the time! Love Aimee and her aesthetic, I'll check out our tee too! Thank you for watching and for your support and enthusiasm! Best, Lily

[@tatjanarienecker]

Love your podcast! And so interesting to hear about the artisans you‘ve visited!❤️🙏

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Tatjana! I so appreciate your kind words 🤗

[@jennifernoble3681]

Yay, so pleased your back. Love the podcast ❤️

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Jennifer, it's great to be back! 🤗

[@tinamaher5938]

Greetings from a Marin county knitter, we’re almost neighbors. You might want to try Grandma’s hiya hiya bind off. It looks a lot like a tubular bo, but much easier and seems stretchy enough. I found it on a you tube search, of course! Enjoying your podcasts.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Tina and 👋 neighbor! I love our Bay Area knitters! ❤️ I will absolutely look up this new to me bind off, thank you for sharing the love!

[@barbmckinlay3400]

I always look forward to your podcast and seeing your projects. Thanks for sharing your travels with us.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much, Barb! I do so love sharing and engaging with you all. We are so lucky to have such a lovely communKNITY hehe

[@madymack]

Don’t know if you’ve already found a mohair but I think I have the same batch of nutiden and I paired it with Knitting for Olive’s in Off White and it’s a pretty perfect match!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Oh this is so helpful, Madeline! Do you thinking would work for a textured knit, or would it perhaps be too fluffy?

[@madymack]

@@Lily_curatorial_knits personally I’m doing stockinette so I can’t say from experience but I have seen some very pretty textured patterns in Nutiden but I’m not sure if they were held with mohair.

[@rebeccakeller6141]

I love to see what you are knitting! Your metamorphic is beautiful!! The colors are so wonderful!! I also love the gr8 gingham which is on my list to knit, and I agree that the neckline looks higher than I feel would be comfortable for me. I am thinking I will modify to make it into a v-neck, which I think would be quite nice if I can pull it off!! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

[@allisonmarieknits]

LOVE the blue of the sweater you’re wearing. Great gingham is on my list to make as well - I’m super in favor of modifying patterns to what you want, I’m considering making great gingham cardigan this fall

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Hi Allison, thank you so much for your kind words, you know I CANNOT RESIST a good blue, lol. I adore the idea of a cardigan! do you think you'll steek it?! I want to know more! Thanks again for your comment and enthusiasm :)

[@allisonmarieknits]

@@Lily_curatorial_knits absolutely! It takes me ages to knit flat haha so I'll need to muster up the courage to steek it.

[@nitterpub5157]

You are my favorite podcaster these days! Your creativity is really highlighted in your projects. Thank you for taking the time share your process -and also your travels! Such color! The footage was a delight to the eyes-

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Wow, thank you! You completely made my day, Nitter Pub! I love making these videos and sharing with you all. Seriously so much fun and I really appreciate your enthusiasm and support! Big hugs!

[@ChristieArcher]

How exciting to have a guest on your show. That will be so fun! I had to laugh when you did “Buller… Buller” I have Simone’s line after the teacher says that memorized and in my mind I was quoting it when you said that, HAHA! It’s amazing what things will stay in our minds even after 36 years! Thanks for another fun episode my friend. 🥰

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you Christie! Thanks for the kind words, and I do just love sharing with you all. Glad that I gave you a laugh! :)

[@julieknitsandspins]

Wow! Beautiful projects. Love the blues you choose. You speaking of mindful choice in modifications to suit our own bodies sounds absolutely amazing. I will be tuned in for SURE!!! Can’t wait. BTW so glad you’re back 🤗

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

YES! So glad you're into it, Julie! Jen and I are going to do a quick permeating and then hope to film the first week of August. She's such a talented genius, can't wait to share with you all!

[@ImCFoxx]

I have missed you. I just saw a Gansey sweater at Avenue Y- a sample from the Di Gilpin Collection. It’s knit in a traditional way, all knits and purls. The North Sea yoked sweater was done in di Gilpin DK. I once heard that la Bien Aimee silk mohair Had less fuzz factor than many other premium moh’s. I’m not Particularly fond of excessive fluff. I was also thinking that a lot of fluff might take away from some of the stitch definition.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Yes! I adore the la bien aimee mohair, I think that the white is very hard to find, though. I may try the Verb For Keeping Warm "lighthouse" color. I adore theirs. some great texture, but not as much FLUFF FEST lol. Thanks so much for the Gansey mention too, I'll check it out!

[@mariaegilsdottir9800]

Thank you for your podcast. My favorit mohair yarn are from Isager and Angel from Permin

[@annegallant2786]

Love your podcast! I think that holding a strand of mohair for the Ingrid sweater will obscure the textured pattern with the mohair halo. I look forward to the gingham revamp episode!🥰

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Ah, good point, Anne! I believe that the pattern does call for mohair, but it might be too much with the Nutiden, which is itself pretty fluffy! Thank you for your kind words and looking forward to my time with Jen too, she's a treat!

[@onepinkplumknits]

So many lovely projects. I’m also really keen to knit the Ingrid sweater, I knit sweater no 18 earlier this year, another boxy textured knit, and love it. My favourite silk mohair is isager

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Oh, No. 18 is a great suggestion and clearly very popular! I'll take another look.

[@judefoster7737]

I just finished the Ingrid and absolutely loved every minute of it. I used home spun alpaca and mohair by biches et buches

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

JUDE, I AM DROOLING, you did it with home spun alpaca?! WOW, it sounds divine. Thank you so much for your comment and now I definitely fell like I have to cast on! :)

[@cathynewkirk6807]

Good to see you back! The sweater you’re wearing is stunning. You can see sweaters made with Nutiden in Ravelry by searching for the yarn, then looking at the projects. I saw some beautiful sweaters, but not Ingrid, in the first few pages.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Cathy! Yes, I have to do a deep dive in the Ingrid patterns and see if I can find one :) Thank you so much for the support and kind words! hugs!

[@catherineward8708]

Just found your podcast and really enjoyed it. I really like the sweater no 18 by my favourite things knitwear for a textured garment. Think Crea Bea also knit it so you may have seen it on her podcast.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Ohhhh, seeing lots of love for this #18! It also looks stunning. Thanks so much for the rec and thank you for watching! 🤗 I so appreciate your kind words and support!

[@kimsechrest2202]

You might take a look at Lang Yarns' "Lace" which is a blend of mohair super kid and silk. I used it in my Sommerknus sweater that I just finished and it's the softest, but not really fuzzy mohair/silk yarn I've every seen or used. I used colorway 'snow' -01 and it would match your Nutiden beautifully, Thanks for sharing your knitting with us. I'm working my Metamorphic sweater right now too.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Oh thank you! I will check it out, SnÖ and Snow should go together nicely indeed! Love to see your Metamorphic! :)

[@kimsechrest2202]

My Metamorphic is knit in Spincycle’s Marl lot #13 and Deep Bump. Just finished the sleeves. Body 1/3 done.

[@mollybloom8991]

Not sure how you feel about Suri, I prefer it to mohair and have found the white Suri from AChickThatKnitz to be lovely, white, but not too bright, but not ecru either if that makes sense.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Ohhhh, great idea Molly! I have to say that I don't mind mohair and LOVE suri too--bring on the fluff. lol. I don't know AChickthatKnitz and going to go check her out right now!

[@katarinaguidi7899]

Hi Lily! A white mohair that might work for you is the Camellia Fiber Company mohair in Moonshine. Aro Knits n Purls was talking about using this in one of her episodes. I believe Moonshine might be undyed, but don't quote me on that.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Katarina! You are brilliant! I am using CFC in my raglan and completely forgot that they have a pure clear white. I looked it up and it would be amazing with the Snö Nutiden I think! Thanks a million, and thanks for watching!

[@susanzylstrahansen5168]

Denim + Rain put out a podcast about a month ago with 2022 knitting trends. Texture was a trend and she shared five beautiful textured sweaters to consider knitting. They were all beautiful. You may want to check her out for a few more texture sweater ideas. Thanks for sharing your trip and knits!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Oh, that sounds like so much fun, adding it to my "to watch" queue! Thank you so much for letting me know and for your engagement and enthusiasm!

[@tricotmeringue]

Hello.! I think sweater no 18 from my favorite thing knitwear would be beautiful in nutiden

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Oh, very tempting, I'll take a look! Thanks for watching!

[@gloriashird3601]

❤👍😍

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks, Gloria!

[@anitabechtel5180]

Feel 100% same about tubular bind off. Also, i don't think it looks as neat.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Yes, I'm sticking with my stretchy BO, or looking into one mentioned by another commenter--Grandmothers? I'm loving all the engagement here! Thanks so much for watching, Anita!
