I really loved your presentation, However, I think your video should get more exposure and I guess I can help you with this. Can we discuss this further?

Those yarn holders are useful when you are knitting in the car waiting on kids/teenagers.

Nice haul bruh

Luv it

Dope stuff!!!

Imagine the cornucopia of yarn you will find in Minnesota. 🐑

Holy cow! Amazing yarns!!!!

Thank you so much. I just started with a Teddy Clutch by PK. Four rows, same Drops Yarn…. I am dying

I really like your pressed flowers cardigan, I think it is best one I have seen.

This pattern is so beautiful, I crochet and Im starting to knit, I think this would be my first knitting project, I have 5 baby girls between family and friends so this would be an amazing gift! ❤

Finally ! I have found someone else who called their daughter Elliot ! It is such a lovely name my 30 year old prefers to go by Elle now but I just love her full name

I love your knitted garments but this was a hard watch

Loved your project bags! The fabric choice is perfect! Have you bought the quilting cotton or canvas thickness?❤

Oh my gosh, yarn-tarot for yarnspiration sounds adorable! Maybe ways to generate a theme or aesthetic - a ~vibe~ - for your next cast-on?

That zen sweater is just the cutest thing ever

PS. Your volume is rather low.

Thank you

first!

Haha, I just started knitting again and just a few weeks ago I realised what I was doing wrong ;) I knew something was off, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure it out. Until I read a blog about mistakes first time knitters make XD

Or sport wt

What about doing for new knitters. I have made a tank top for me in a bamboo yarn. So I am ready

I am a new knitter and I have a friend that is due in April so I would do it in fingering.

That La Bien Aimee yarn would look so cool as a shawl or faded blouse! I've had my local library give me scans of scientific journals when I was finishing my degree but couldn't take the journal from the library. I'd say just don't make copies and share them yourself. It's no different than your church friend lending you the Dalegarn books so you can get a pattern you like from them.

I LOVE seeing a knitting podcaster, who's knitting for her little one! I've been knitting for my four children for a decade (my oldest is 10yo) and I am legit jealous of their handknit collection. Little tip: There are some gorgeous acrylic / acrylic-mix yarns out there, that make children's items very easy to care for. If you'd rather knit with all natural yarns, cotton is an excellent choice, too. My children all went to daycare, I still have a 3yo in daycare, and I've never had any problems with their handknits not coming clean. I mainly use wool and cotton yarns. I once had the case that a white cotton tshirt got a stain on it, that I couldn't get rid of. I overdyed it when I re-dyed my jeans in the washing machine and it's now denim blue and she's still enjoying it. Feel free to follow me on instagram @diary.of.a.knitting.mom. I'd love to connect over there! I haven't been terribly active in the past months, but I'm hoping to change that this year. On another note: When it comes to mittens and hats for my family, I prefer untreated wool, because it repels moisture. But that's just me. :-) If it itches their foreheads, I line it with some soft fabric.

I love the garter ear flap hat pattern so much! I’ve made several and they’re so fun and cute and quick❤ Such a great pattern selection 😍 I’m currently making myself a cabled Enamorado sweater and a slip stitch cowl for my brother. .. and actively avoiding some hand quilting that’s staring at me from the corner😂

What are your knitting plans for 2024?

Great ideas and very useful tips!!!😊 hhank you very much❤❤❤❤❤❤

i knitted a sweater with boucle, hold single but with smaller needles than recommended. i think this makes the fabric look dense - yet not super messy. can only recommend <3

💖💖💖

These are all so cute!! Power mom!

11+k! Amazing!

I 100% did the same thing with the sophie scarf. I knit mine out of alpaca and apparently i find that wildly itchy around my neck 🙃

What was your favorite knit of 2023? Overall, I think my favorite was The Good Bunny.

I didn't really master the skill of knit-feeding until I had my third 🤣- My knitting really took off after I had my fourth baby. It's weird, because you'd expect to have less knitting time the more children you have. I think it's just because you get better at time management. My older children learned to leave my knittnig alone, that helped. While they are babies, you can knit quite a bit. It's once they are toddlers, that it becomes more difficult to do anything other than running after them while they are awake. I agree, little sweaters are the most convenient thing for babies. I never minded pulling anything over my babies' heads, and neither did my babies. Bonnets are super practical as well. Now that my kids are older (10yo, 8yo, 6yo, 3yo), they request what I knit for them. They grew up in wool, so they are pretty unbothered by it. I use mainly non-superwash wool in the cold season and plant fibers for the summertime. I have three girls, who love to wear their knit dresses and cute shirts. My kids went to pre-school in Germany, where wool garments are not unusual. Our providers were amazing with pre-washing stained garments. I have never had a garment ruined to the point, that i couldn't save it. I did overdye some stained garments and they're still in heavy use. I just found your podcast and love following you! When I was a young(er) mom, no other podacsters or real life friends were knitters. Many did sew, that was fun to follow, too. You can sew with wool fabric as well. I have made some outdoor items for my kiddos out of felted wool fabric - those were our favorites!

What are some expectations vs. realities you e experienced in knitting and/or child rearing??

Hello Sacramento from San Diego

Hello from San Diego

Very nice, thank you ❤

Thanks for the suggestions! Great ideas. Happy New Year!

Very insightful thank you! I have family that all seems to be having babies and I've been playing it safe by only knitting them little blankets and hats, but I'll keep your ideas in mind for my own future kids. Your licorice sweater is lovely. Don't worry about the negative Nancy in the comments, she's just mad that she can't improvise for herself and doesn't know how to skip ahead. Keep making videos, I can only imagine how hard it must be to film while keeping an eye on the baby monitor. Much love and happy new year!

Such a wonderful video!! Well done! Elliot is adorable and reminded me of my own at that age. The mitts are BEAUTIFUL!

I need to finish my tulip sweater 😅 it’s been sitting in ufo land for almost a year now. I finished the body and one sleeve…but when I tried it on the sleeve was impossibly tight and I half frogged it but got so frustrated with the mohair that I haven’t picked it back up yet. It is such a lovely pattern and the sweater was beautiful. I just messed up my gauge/needle size/decreases on the arm

Some silent some chatty🎉happy new year❤🥳🧞‍♀️

And… such GREAT ideas! Thank you!

There’s also “ the Shift” which is a smaller version of The Shift

I just came across your channel and it’s lovely. I’m from Iowa and travel through the Sioux City area and I will be checking out the yarn shop!

I like your video but you need to speak louder or get closer to your phone or computer. Thank you so much. It was hard to hear and I turned up everything that I could :)

I need to know where you got the mini hot water bottle! 😍
