[@mynorthknitcorner]

The strange brew sweater turned out so beautiful. That golden color against the dark one is so perfect! Thank you for another inspiring episode. Looking forward to the next one🥰

Love all your Retrosaria yarn purchases ❤ it's such a gorgeous shop! "a Retrosaria apresenta" (meaning "the Retrosaria presents") are yarn bases (or blends) that are not actually portuguese but are sold under the Retrosaria brand umbrella 😊

[@work.knits.]

Hello! Thank you so much for watching the episode and for the info on the Retrosaria apresenta! I had no idea, this is so interesting ❤️

[@KatharinaB23]

As suspected, the Strange Brew turned out gorgeous. The colours look absolutely stunning together and I really like the sleeves and of course the curved hem.

Hello! Thank you so much ❤️ what have you got on the needles at the moment?

@@work.knits. I finally finished my Wednesday! 😂 it didn't work out in time to wear it but I love it so much nevertheless and can't wait for fall/winter. For an easy in-between-projects project I'm working on a bandana from some leftovers atm.

Sorry for the delayed reply Katharina. Congrats on your Wednesday sweater! I am also considering doing a little bandana with some leftovers - it's such a nice little project and a way to ensure leftover yarn doesn't go to waste x

I haven't knitted with Tukuwool specifically, but I've used a decent amount of finnsheep wool in spinning, knitting and weaving! It is definitely more of a rustic wool, but it softens and blooms a lot with blocking and with use, in my experience. I hope you enjoy knitting/using the Tukuwool :D (havu means fir tree in finnish, if you were wondering) Your strange brew sweater turned out so beautiful, the shaping is so elegant! and your yarn acquisitions are all stunning, I love the colour palette :)

Hello ❤️ that is really good to know, thank you so much! Hope you are well?

Lovely sweater! I have the same small ribcage, larger bust issue . I’m keen to learn bust dart shaping to get round that when knitting with negative ease. This Orange Couch podcast (now gone dark) has some inspiring descriptions of how she freestyles bust darts. I think the Florin sweater by Veronik Avery is a round yoke with both raglan and round-yoke shaping, though it is knit bottom up rather than top down like yours and the colourwork is in the body rather than the yoke.

Hello! So pleased it's not just me! Thank you for the podcast recommendation and the pattern with the compound construction!

I love your Strange Brew! The two colours go so well together. Can you mention the name of the blue Holst Supersoft? Was it Vintage Heather?

[@work.knits.]

Hello! Thank you so much. Indeed that is correct - Holst Garn Supersoft in the shade Vintage Heather

[@22mononoke]

@@work.knits. Thank you! The colour is beautiful 😍

The ranunculus is a compound increased sweater

I haven't knit one of those... Maybe I should
