I am so excited to see your Nordic Bloom vest 😍 Its my dream knit!

Спасибо❤

Hello from 🇺🇸… I purchased this book a few months ago from Amazon for $20.00 + tax. I have knitted the Baffin Jumper and planning to knit the Artica Jumper next. It’s a wonderful book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to knit Nordic style sweaters. And, even if you don’t knit, the pictures are beautiful and can be appreciated! ❤️

you should introduce your long-armed child to rock climbing, especially if she likes to swing

Your wrap and dress are so wonderful! It makes me want to try to make one of my own.

Have a look at Those Twins Who Knit, way back, to see the Artesane. I think even the smallest size is very wide.

The schematic drawing was awesome and so helpful. (And very fancy) I’ve been knitting for a year and I’m intimidated by modifying patterns in this way and it was so great to hear how you modified an existing pattern. Thank you for all the detail!

Beautiful work!

Such a genius process...thank you for sharing! And you looked fabulous in your party ensemble!

Happy holidays Mel!!

Merry Christmas Use mini for colorwork

Merry Christmas 🎄! Happy New Year 🎊! The fact you made the dress and wrap still blows my mind. And you looked amazing. You're knitting goals. Happy knitting 💚🧶🩷

I also have Elise's advent and I ADORE it! I think I'm going to make The Creabea's Kintra sweater with it since it works with advents! I can't wait to see what you make with it!!!

I added that unicorn sweater to my queue for my daughter back when you first talked about it. Yet to be started.

Your wrap turned out beautiful! I love Palette (and several other Knitpicks yarns). I have single balls in many of their fall colours for a sweet shop blanket (one day). I made my Port Jacket out of two stands plus a mohair and the fabric is just amazing. Happy Holidays!

Very helpful vídeo Mel, thanks a lot for sharing all your insights on these sweaters

Merry Christmas , to your family

I have plans to knit the unicorn sweater for my grand daughter too

Also, the cost of high-ticket items of the kind my mom is used to buying is staggering. She told me she much admired a coat, but could not justify the €1,000+ price tag. Likewise she was lusting after a nice shawl but it was €300, which would but a hell of a lot of nice yarn!

I hesitate to say this but I spent a lifetime hearing my mother complain that she had no choice but staying married to my father because she did not have an independent income, and while it dawned on me far too late that my mom did not actually want to leave my dad, I think the financial situation made life more bitter for her (and me) than it needed to be. So I have to say, I am a little creeped out by hearing that you are “allowed” to buy yarn. Presumably the choice to have a child and for you to stay at home to look after them was taken as a couple. You accepted a reduction in direct income because you provided a baby that I assume you both wanted, and the labour that goes with caring for said child. If the idea is that the money your husband earns is his and he graciously gifts it to you, instead of money the family earns for the three of you, to lead the kind of lifestyle one income lets you afford, then that is a very big red flag. Myself, I never remember the cost of yarn either: most of the cost of yarn for me is the incredible amount of space it takes in my small flat. The one time I stepped back from purchasing some yarn is when the pattern (and I have knitted three, no maybe four patterns that called for it) involved Spincycle Yarns. They are beautiful and the cost is probably due to the process of creating them, but… every time I consider it I look at the total and go, heck no.

If you do decide to felt anything again, I found I had better results and control by just soaking in the kitchen sink then rolling and rubbing by hand. If you roll and rub you can control the width and length so much better. But that being said, your slippers look great.

If you toss your knits in with jeans, they'll felt faster, and you won't waste water.

Super podcast. The dress is amazing and look forward to seeing the finished cardigan with it. Thank you Melissa!

For the heel bulk, what I’ve done that worked really well is after machine felting, I hand felted the corners with a bit of soapy water to felt additionally and round it more while I had it on.

The dress looks incredible! Such an amazing piece, and it fits you so well! And 26 sizes with the guidance how to blend between them, the designer and the editor (if there's any) really had a lot of work to do. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't be such a slow knitter, if I'd try to make it, I'd finish in 10 years 😂 It's beautiful. And the jumper (cardigan? the piece you're making for over it) will look great, I'm sure. Have fun at the party! ❤

Wow! Dress is gorgeous on you! Also keeping eyes peeled for that Clara sweater release. Thx for sharing your knits. Great podcast.

Thanks a lot again for your podcast. Love it. And again I listened to two episodes of your spot the differences. They are so helpful, when I am undecided. A tip to your slippery slippers: I bought sock-stop latex for my socks. I have slippery wood floors and like to go with socks without fear to skate around. The latex helps and stays with washing.

It was definitively a good choice to knit this dress, it looks stunning on you ^^ Magnifique !

Oh my! Your dress is sooooo beautiful! Wow 😍

your dress is gorgeous!

The melides dress is banging. Great job.

Love that dress! Its on my list!

Wow! I love your Melides dress and how it fits you.

Taberius has left evidence of his wrong doing 😂

👩‍🌾🐑🐮

Love your Melides dress. Would absolutely second your recommendation to anyone thinking of making this. It’s such an achievement- I’m more proud of my dress than anything else I’ve made!😊

I felted my slippers until you cannot see the stitch definition and the heel bump disappeared 🤷‍♀️ There is also a product called sock stop that is basically a grippy puff paint

I think maybe on your sweater you may have encountered what has happened to me: palette yarn is very scaly which means that once it has been knit, especially with mohair, you may get less stretch. Your knitting is beautiful. It should be relaxing, not work. Enjoy!❤

Hi Melissa - Beautiful cardigan. I am wondering how you used a sport weight yarn held single when the instructions call for sportweight PLUS laceweight to reach DK weight -- according to Ravelry. I see on your Ravelry page that you used needles U.S. size 6 and 4 -- was that 6 for the bodya nd 4 for ribbing? Meanwhile, the pattern on the Moreca site calls for needles in four sizes! And they are 2 1/2, 4, 6 AND 8. I'm so confused! Why would there be smaller needles recommended when the yarn being recommended would be larger than yours (two held together). Can you help me understand?! Thanks.

So fine!

I'm currently working on the CARDI Jumper from the same designer and I really love how she writes patterns. I'm fairly new to garment knitting and pattern reading for knitting and her writing really makes sense without being to detailed.

Love your Clara sweater it is beautiful. I also was very happy you had the pattern for the felted slippers. I had the pattern but down loaded the wrong language when I downloaded it and didn’t notice until months later when I was ready to knit them.i wasn’t sure how to get ahold of it again in English. So thanks.

The dress is stunning!

Super slippers!

Wow! Love the dress! Kudos to you…

What are you wearing? What is the pattern and yarn?

The dress is a dream!!!!! Wow what a work you‘ve done. STUNNING! It fits so wonderful.

A dreammm ahhh
