I played this video in the bg while I was decluttering my bed so I could sit and knit, but I was immediately drawn to the video when you started talking! I absolutely love your accent because I come from the southern states myself, so I felt like I was right at home watching your video! I used to hate my southern accent, but in recent years, I've come to embrace it. It made me so happy hearing that you stayed true to yours, too 😊🤠💗 Much love from Kentucky!!

[@lorikoury120]

Thank you for so many wonderful gift ideas. I’m a slow knitter but know my family would appreciate a knitted gift. 💕

[@summermchalffey9469]

The toy rabbit is so adorable ❤

[@AnikSales]

Thank you so much for this video with ideas for gift knitting. I was going to give up, because I didn’t know what knit.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I hope you found some new ideas!

[@patticacciabaudo1303]

Super podcast! Loving all the ideas!

[@CeeCeeCrafts]

I prefer 11/1 through end of February.. thank you for all the gift ideas. ❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for the vote ❤

[@katrinalevin4064]

Great Ideas. I might cast on the bandana cow this weekend for my nieces. I have been eyeing this pattern.

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Great video! (I’d love it if you extended the inset pictures through the time you’re commenting on the item. I kept rewinding to see what you were referring to.). Always a pleasure to watch your podcasts!

[@suzannefenton1589]

Thank you for a great podcast

[@blairdestro]

You are so wonderful! Thanks for some great ideas and inspiration.

[@Lawandasu]

Love the gift ideas! After Christmas would be my vote for the KAL.

[@denisewells6856]

I love the idea of a knit along that begins after Christmas! Thank you so much for spearheading this!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you ❤️

[@anaroscigno1486]

started knitting the sunday socks for my sister for christmas ALREADY because socks usually take me a while.. finished a week or two ago!! they are so so quick! the perfect cozy gift knit!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

So fast!!!! Right?

[@wklilly1]

After Christmas, I’d be down for that.

[@kellyfindshouses]

Thanks for making it a bundle!

[@nicolina1892]

I love these ideas. Thank you for sharing!

[@marliesdahlke4457]

THANK YOU for this wonderful episode, dear Kacie!! Beautiful ideas!! Love your chanel.

[@samanthamund5194]

❤ the beret!

[@laurellae]

I usually don't gift knit because it doesn't bring me joy, but now after hearing your recs, I'm inspired for a few special people in my life. As for the bougie sweater kal, definitely want to join if it can be after Christmas!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much!

[@elizabethbradley7794]

outline raglan!I have the yarn already.😍

[@jenniferwiltrout1975]

Terrific gift ideas. I think a knitalong after Christmas would be ideal. Many thanks for all your podcasts as they are FANTASTIC!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!!!!

[@SharonCullenArt]

I don’t know if it is too late but a kal is a great idea but after Christmas would be easier for me. I’m not even knitting a lot of gifts but I am a musician and have a lot of music to prepare. 😊

[@brandonapple752]

Amazing, you are so gifted!!!! ❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

❤❤❤❤

[@carliearliedale]

My vote is for after Christmas 😊

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hi! From Mounds Illinois.

[@debrascott4587]

Definitely start 12/28. I’m drowning in gift making until Xmas eve.

[@annmorris6732]

Thank you so much! What a great selection. Continuing to enjoy your podcast so much. Again, Thank you, Ann 🧶

[@dorisenderle5857]

After December for the sweater knit please. Enjoyed your visit. Thank you again.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!

[@marlasivak5978]

Thank you so much for all the ideas!

[@booksandhooks9469]

I like the November start date. I would be able to finish it in time to actually wear it! Thank you for the gift ideas

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Good idea!

[@rachelcunningham2498]

God bless you kacie this was exactly what i needed

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you watching! ❤

[@annahase]

[@linneawestberg6435]

[@jacquelinepata4637]

Thanks for all the gift ideas. I would be interested in joining an after the holiday KAL.

[@mindykannon4650]

Love the KAL idea!!! Great gift podcast!!!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!!

[@putrescentcadaver]

After the holidays would be great and give me the opportunity to get started for the next year. The holidays grens to be just too busy to dedicate enough time to KAL

[@smiley15646]

Thanks a million Kaci! Great show, great ideas!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for watching!

[@NancyLiedel]

I'm really loving this series. I like all your podcasts!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much!!!

[@miekevanreet2544]

What a wonderfull idea to show this to us, thanks , big hug from Belgium

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Hello! And thank you 😊

[@meaganfawcett-lunafiberwor2268]

So many great options! I love it and thank you for sharing. That Sophie Scarf is calling me, BIG TIME!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

It’s really a great knit!

[@weaverms6939]

Great idea. I would prefer November because we would have some more free time to knit over the holidays. Also, if we start in January the slow knitters like me will be finishing the sweater at the end of the winter...

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Good point!

[@annotlewski1104]

Great ideas! I’ve knit the Bisbis beret and waiting for cool weather to wear it. A very nice knit.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I love the Bisbis

[@chargump9465]

Great presentation! Thank you!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you for watching!

[@lfinn6125]

Ooolala, kal. I think after Christmas would be great. Lovely gift ideas. Thank you!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for the vote!

[@AimeeSherMakes]

Kaci! How did I not know you had a channel here? Thank you so much for sharing about my mitten patterns! I'm honored to be on this list of beautiful gift patterns. All your recommendations are so on point.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you Aimee! I love all of your patterns! Thanks for all you do for the knitting community

[@conniemadsen6062]

Thank you for all the great ideas for gifts 🤩

[@Bean_Box_Knitting]

Very much enjoyed this list of lovely things - the socks especially. I do love a knitalong. For me, it would be after Christmas. Until then, it's mostly knitting for others and finishing off some WIPS for me (with the odd little bonus knit, when a burst of joy is needed!)

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That seems the general consensus so far!

[@EmilysTeaCup]

Ive been gift knitting a scarf for my friend, she picked the colors and the yarn, I was planning to take it slow but it is a 1x1 rib pattern in a solid color with a contrast stripe repeat….what I thought would take me a month has taken me over a year at this point 😳 I feel so bad and I will finish it, but its such slow going and I keep having to take breaks for other projects 😆

[@annahutchens5446]

My vote is to start the knit along on December 28th, after all the rush for the holidays are over. I would be much more relaxed and could concentrate on my project a lot more…🧶😊

[@rae8013]

Would love to have it start after the holidays but hope to take part either way! Looking forward to all the cozy makes

[@janhatfield76]

Thank you for the gift ideas! Your podcast is so professional. I will be using some of your ideas for sure! Happy Knitting!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you Jan!

[@emmascraftcorner]

I have already picked out my gift knits for this Christmas, but oh well... means I'll get a headstart for next year! I love the idea of a KAL for sweaters! I'd prefer starting after Christmas as well ❤️

[@gretcheneiselt8665]

Great gift ideas, thanks! I would participate in the KAL and would be able to start in January after I knit lots of gifts in December

[@meredithanne]

Thanks for a great episode! Can you share the pattern for the crochet coasters, please? So cute!!

[@glendabathgate4036]

Very helpful thank you kasi

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!!

[@StudioBlixje]

Love this video. I hate sockknitting. I prefer knitting legwarmers 😜

[@suen6410]

A great podcast, thanks for all of the nice patterns 👏👏👏 a great job !!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you ❤

[@tonyalynnd8732]

I’ll be checking out some of these patterns. I’m finishing up 2 sweaters now so will be more than ready to cast on another by November.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Awesome!

[@maureenholian1560]

Hi Kaci, great knit gift ideas! Truly enjoy your podcasts too! After Christmas would be a good time for knit along! Happy Knitting!

[@melyndaezell8206]

OHHHH!! My first KAL with you! I'm so excited and already have my yarn and sweater pattern. I was gonna start this week but now I'm going to wait which is good so I can continue to hone my skills being a newbie and all. I'm so glad I got to watch this episode before I co. Thank you, Kaci!!

[@lynnmeisel7348]

After Christmas would give more time to focus on gift knitting. Two ideas for pattern: "Warm-up Sweater" by Espace Tricot in DROPS Air . Or "No Sweat Shirt" by Park Williams in Berroco Remix Lt. Love your channel! Appreciate all you do to create such a positive space! Keep up the great work, girl!!

[@summermchalffey9469]

Great ideas 🏆

[@LeanerLena]

Thanks so much I saved a bunch of patterns! ❤

[@margaretdionne1001]

What a great list of ideas! As for the knit along …late December works for me

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Awesome ❤

[@catherinecunningham7126]

Great gift ideas Kaci. Thank you! Christie Archer Designs has a fabulous heelless sock called Irresistible sock Fingering and Irresistible Sock Worsted. They fit fabulously and are super comfy and you don’t really need foot measurements. Fast knit too!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That sounds like a fabulous pattern

[@michelleellis1290]

Absolutely amazing. Thank you. I’d be interested in a KAL sweater certainly have a few that are in my to knit list.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yay!!!

[@juliecalcote820]

Aww I made that unicorn and it worked up so cute! I’m making a dog sweater, cabled hot drink wrap, scrunchies, and a set of fish clothes for gifts this year ❤ thanks for sharing your suggestions!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I love those ideas!!!!

[@jillortiz6459]

Loved this episode, seeing all you suggestions for gift knitting was fun and inspiring!! thank you! An after-Christmas knitalong sounds great!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!

[@saraeclipse]

Great gift suggestions! Thank you - I added a few to my Ravelry library!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for watching!

[@The-Vintage-Needlecrafter]

I'm 🤔 thinking about November 😊

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for the vote!!!

[@lankakaaos]

Thank you for knitting company and lovely bundle of free gift knit patterns. I’m going to cast on a sweater next month. I knit a lot and I’m going to cast on another 24. December. I like knitting sweaters and I always have one sweater/cardigan project on needles. So I’m going to cast on another before end of your kal even if it is from 28. December to end of March. I don’t have Instagram so I assume I will nit be able to join in if this kal is only in Instagram.

[@wildcottageknitting]

I think Dec 28 would be handy, after the Mkal & holiday knitting- something to look forward to!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I agree!

[@brittanyszymankiewicz7324]

New follower!! Loved the gift guide, I think it’s also so important to remember to not be an over achiever with gifts this time of year because it’s so easy to forget our limitations. And as far as the KAL goes I think after the holiday rush is over would probably be the most realistic for most people. Less time to wear the sweater after it’s made, but I think makers will be more likely to stick with it if they’re not also overwhelmed with the holiday chaos. Just my .02 😊

[@haleybrown5991]

End of December KAL start would be fantastic! ❤ I have the perfect sweater pattern I’ve been dying to cast on.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Ooo share pattern ideas!!

[@luciaoperosa2239]

Thank you !

[@ninamariannajensen5297]

Thank you for all these great godt ideas, especially the stash busters! And I would vote for the 28th og December as a start date to the blouse knitalong😊

[@GrayBush_Knits]

Loved this list of gift knits! Exactly what's on our minds right now. As for the KAL I am making a sweater for my mom for Christmas that could be part of the Nov cast-on but will be starting one for myself immediately after as a birthday gift to myself! So.... whichever month you go with will work for me! Ha! Love all your videos and have been watching them over and over. 💗

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@jayleendelrio2075]

Thank you so much Kaci for the great gift ideas! I would love to join in with the sweater KAL at the end of December. I absolutely adore your podcast, you’ve quickly become one of my favorites 😊

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@rosea.1171]

Thank you

[@sheknits1]

I can’t wait to do another knit along with you! I would prefer the Dec cast on date, but I am in no matter when you want to start!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That seems to be a popular vote!

[@moniquesavoie5440]

What awesome suggestions! That is so very helpful, thank you so much Kaci for the inspiration ❤ and i must say the ADORABLE fox/wolf is definitely in my bucket list☺️

[@moniquesavoie5440]

Oh and the ribbons for gift wrapping are so pretty! What kind of ribbons are they?

[@mairaurena4488]

Great patterns ideas. I will love to join the Kal and think that December is a good month to start.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!

[@sandracroley9784]

Thanks for all the ideas! For the KAL, I'm good for whenever, although I'm just starting a new sweater for myself, the Ixchel Pullover by Nomad Stitches....I just know it will be a favourite 😍

[@larajean1]

Lots of good ideas! I'm working on a bandana cowl at the moment and think I'm going to make one for each of my son's and husband this year. Still thinking about what to make for my daughters. I'd be interested in the knit-a-long but probably not until after Christmas...

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That’s a great gift idea!

[@elizabethsovern8939]

Love the KAL idea. Either timing works for me. Either I'll make a gift for my daughter if you start in November. Or if you start after xmas I'll knit that new Northwoods Vneck for me!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I love that v neck!!

[@cathynewkirk6807]

Thanks for the ideas, and for the bundle you’ve created. I’m interested in a sweater/sweatshirt KAL (thinking Lento). Between the Stephen West MKAL, my assorted WIPs and now, gift knitting, I’m leaning toward a December cast-on. I’d like the sweater for winter, but I’m trying to be realistic! Maybe you could allow WIPs (less than 1/2 done, or something) for people who want to cast on earlier. Whatever you decide, it will be fun!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Good idea!

[@kannika93]

Hello Kaci Thanks for sharing all these ideas! You've inspired me and gave me many ideas, especially with Christmas coming soon

[@eid1007]

Your accent is so cute (I’m Canadian)

[@michellelambton3636]

After Christmas ❤️🧶🌈

[@paulhermann8239]

I’m all for start date of November 1st it’s my birthday day so best day to start a KAL😊💕. Iris

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for the vote ❤

[@M00NR1DER_]

I think November 1st! Also, great episode!!

[@elizabeecreates7100]

Thanks for all the great ideas. I am hoping to knit a few animals for my grandchildren. I would start the KAL in November but if WIPs are allowed I have no problem with the later date. Either way I will always have more cast ons than time! Cast-on-itis is real.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Hahaha it definitely is!!!

[@jhuntsman17]

Love this gift knitting ideas. They were so good. Can you tell what kind of bag you used to wrap the gift at the beginning of the podcast? Thanks so much jUlie

[@teresawagoner1469]

After December for the sweater KAL for me
