You're just so fun, and your videos are fun. You clearly put some effort into your video making and I'm on board for it! I'm so influenced I'm looking at spinnning videos at night when i can't sleep. I blame you. In the best way possible. Thanks for the high quality videos!
Ooooh, I'm SO excited to see you tackle those bright red colors! That's going to be so much fun. Everything you made is stunning, I genuinely can't pick a favorite! I do really like your 1940's re-knit, and how the colors subtly shift throughout it.
my favourite project: the "trick you into watching me knit a stockinette sweater" sweater! Because it makes me happy to see a not so successful piece remade into something more successful!!!! my 2024 plans (more like what's on my currect want to do list): do some alterations on thifted knitted pieces. There are so many more useful pieces that I want, but for know, I just want to see those beautiful pieces fit me the way I want, because I really want to wear them!!!! Bright yellow sweater with embroidered pink flowers!!!! HELLO YES!!!!
First of all: may happiness and health be always with you and your loved ones in 2024! Crafting for mental health - I hear you. Just call it productive therapy. The side effects are so much more bearable (and wearable 😁) than with pharmaceutical choices! 😊 I haven’t knitted as much as you did, but that is just because of my fulltime job. It always seems to interfere with my creative side. 😅 So you turned 30 last year… in other words: you were born when I graduated from University. Jeez, I’m old! 😂
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm ... I feel the same way about fiber and textiles... Love, Love, Love!!! you are such an inspiring fiber artist.. so pleased I found your channel. I am a hand-spinner, knitter, quilter from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
I couldnt even pick a favourite item you have created. They are all amazing.. I am a complete sucker for anything granny square being a crocheter (its almost compulsory lol) but I am always blown away seeing your knitting creations and you are literally the only person i follow on here who I can happily sit down and watch your videos one after another for my shenanigans fix lol. I look forward to seeing where you take us in 2024 ☺️
I think my favorite of your projects from 2023 would have to be the marzipan pullover. I now want to make one myself. My 2024 plans involve spinning to knit my Fiance a hoodie out of a blend of Finn wool and a mystery fleece I got from the Australia sheep and wool show last year. I also want to knit myself an Orenburg lace shawl, and my first ever cardigan for myself, probably also out of handspun.
i love all u made. u are fun to watch too! i see u come on with a new video and i get so happy to see what u are up to next. My fave is the knee high lace socks! I knitted and crocheted everyone in the family slippers and socks for xmas and our handyman always comes for the holidays. Our handyman got teary eyed cause of the slippers i made him. i love all your knittings.
My plans for 2024 are to make a double knitted scarf that matches the hat I made. I also want to finish the shawl I am knitting for my sister. And I want to finish the sweater for my daughter. I also want to do more spinning, so I at least want to spin something for my youngest kid with the wool I got in October. Oh yeah, I also want to weave something on my loom. I still haven't woven any of my handspun, so that's something I want to do too... Where I am going to find the time to do all this, I don't know. 😂
I like the scarf you made for your mom - that was a sweet video. I think in 2024 you should challenge yourself with a larger project: handspin fingering yarn, weave it into several large enough pieces that you can make yourself a A-line skirt.
Love watching you 😂🎉❤,you make my day, I smile through all of this video, because I watched you make all of these items, I loved your lace socks, maybe this year you could spin up and dye yarn for a shawl or wrap ❤️ hope you have another fun full year for 2024, I will be watching you from south Australia with my sheep and alpacas
Good morning from Australia lovely informative video as always I do like your pattern choices, especially when you 'do your own thing' successfully. RE: Angora hat (fail). Some ideas: only frog the band below the indigo work, and use smaller needles/more frequent decreases to make the beret style fit you but be looser. The body of the hat is lovely. OR Hold the brim in hot water and shrink it back down. I really like the Giant's sweater. I enjoyed the whole process and he looked so impressive posing to show it off. Cheers for 2024 Sally
ALL of your knitting is AMAZING especially considering the majority of your knitting is with your hand spun yarn!! Hard to choose my favorite, but the Marzipan it is!! I live in the USA, Southern part, so not much need for sweaters sadly, I tend to knit 90% socks, planning to crochet a blanket this year!! So enjoy your podcasts!!!!
I recently found your channel and have been binging your videos. Love them all. You are a chaos goblin queen and chaos goblin is a new phrase I happily add to my vocabulary
Hi Jente, Happy New Year to you and Dries 🎉🎉🎉. Wow, that's a lot of Handspun Hand Knitted projects. I think the Colour Work Sweater you made with the yarn you bought in Barcelona is my Favourite, favorite but then I have 2 others, one is the Sweater you Handspun, Hand Knitted for your Giant ( sorry, I mean Dries) and the last one is the Super Chunky Handspun, Hand Knitted you finished last week. Mmm, somehow I think Dries and your Mum conspired together for your Christmas Presents 😅😅🎁🎁 Can't wait to see what you make with them. Happy Spinning and Knitting Fibre Friend 🎡🐑🥰🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love, Blessings and Big Hugs to you both Jen xxxx ❤️❤️💖💖💖🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🐕
@@MijnWolden Hi Jente, I'm glad that they hadn't conspired, makes more of a surprise for your Mum and Dries. Thankyou so much for the Heart ♥ Sending Heart ♥ back to you ❤️💞🎀 Thankyou for sharing All of your video podcasts and your Fibre Shenanigans in 2023. 🐑🐑🐑🌟🌟🌟 I wonder how much you'll get done this year. Happy Spinning, Knitting and Crotcheting Fibre Friend 🎡🎉🎉🐑🐑🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and Big Hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️❤️💖💖🫂🫂🫂🫂🐕
Amazing work! Just beautiful, and it's impossible to pick a favorite from your collection! I can't wait to see what you make this year! I made 20 hand processed and spun projects in 2023. 18 were hats, scarves and neck warmers. I gave away 18 as Christmas gifts, and I let everyone pick out what they wanted which was so much fun watching what they chose! I also made myself a beautiful baby alpaca sweater that I took on an European vacation with me, and I also kept one super fuzzy baby alpaca scarf for myself. I'm off and running in 2024, and almost finished with a scarf for next year's Christmas gift pile.
Thanks for the very fun review. I look forward to your version of the husband knit. I love the natural dark wools and one day I will be able to buy some, I hope.
Happy 2024! I really hope it's better for a lot of people than 2023 was. Regarding the alpaca - I think of alpaca in relation to Peru and I then think of those big jackets that were knitted in Peru and very fashionable back in the 1970s. So I'd suggest you find a 1970s pattern for the alpaca, strikes me as a nice confluence of concepts. I look forward to seeing your projects and chaos goblin shenanigans. My project plans: I'm working on a rather intricate colourwork hat at the moment, it's going to be part of a set but I'm going to need to order more wool before I can finish the set. (That wool is really bad, it's in all these colours and I look at them and use a little for this and a little for that and suddenly I need more.) A number of my projects will have to wait until my knee is back in working order and I can drive again, as I need some audio-visual-electronics related things. That leads me to the elf sock project. It began with a simple modification of a full-sized, adult sock pattern and I have written that out - and done most of the proof-reading corrections! But then there's going to be the colourwork version of the elf sock pattern, which is not yet written down and, indeed, not yet knitted. So that will need to be workshopped and written down (and I need some more wool, see above, that's where some of the wool went). When the patterns are written out correctly I want to publish them on Ravelry and also do an instructional video. The AV stuff is needed for the instructional video. Then I want to do a simple Introduction to Vintage Knitting, also as an instructional video, intended for people who have never done any vintage knitting and who may be a little unsure of how to get started. I've just finished spinning 382 yards of "natural medium" Corriedale (Ashford combed top), not quite sure what I'm going to do with that, but I also have a packet of the natural white and the natural light to spin, so I've got some time to think about it. As to what I will *_actually_* end up doing in with fibre and yarn in 2024 is anyone's guess. I was astonished to discover that I can buy zwartbles fleece in Australia. Maybe, when my knee lets me drive again, I will get some alum... there are some things in my garden that I think might create interesting natural dyes...
I enjoyed every single one of your videos this year. You just make my days brighter and inspire me a lot! I wish you lots of luck and fun and good health for 2024 and I'm looking forward to your new projects a lot :) I'm currently knitting rainbow socks that make my queer heart really happy. And I'm looking forward to many more spinning/knitting/crochet/embroidery projects this year!
Happy 2024. Finally found time to watch the video. I love your marzipan sweater. But I am overall impressed by all tge spinning and knitting you have finished. I don't have concrete crafting plans for the year. But being in Vietnam right now I plan on some summer tops. Have Saris sunkissed top on the needles right now. Have a great day
I love every single one of your projects. When I know you have a new video out I can’t wait to sit down and watch it! Your fiber shenanigans are so fun, you inspire me, and it gives me joy to watch you create. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do in 2024.
My highlight of 2023 was finding your channel! 2024 plans: dive into plant and fungi dyed wool experiments! Im currently making mini skeins to practice my spinning techniques that will be perfect for small batch dying. I'm now also inspired to make my own niddy noddy - did you make yours? Its gorgeous
My gosh, that are a lot of projects! You must be the fastest knitter I know! I really love the basic ariadne sweater. I'm a succer for a simple sweater and it fits you very well!
I still love the bulky sweater so much haha but the high socks and the marzipan sweater are also favourites. For the alpaca, how about a historical shawl or capelet? It feels like it'd drape nicely. Looking forward to new projects!
I am not nearly as good as a knitter as you, but l hope to eventually be good enough to also knit a cycling sweater. Until then l’ll be glad if l manage to knit a regular sweater 🤣.
Oh but, the hardest part of a cycling sweater is that it consists of very large rectangles of really Tiny needles. The most advanced skill you need is Patience. If you know how to knit, purl, increase and decrease, a cycling sweater is actually quite easy.
@@MijnWolden I definitely don't own either. I'm going to knit a regular sweater first and then I'm going to venture into my local yarn store and get smoll needles. But first I'm going to finish the 3 cowl balaclavas and that damn débardeurke (and put the corset back in the top I knitted oversized because I'm a doofus) before I cast on anything else. Things are getting silly!
I went to edit my comment because i think i referred to things being amazing 4 times, and i realised i needed skme other vocabulary, but then i found that youtube had deleted my comment and editing it yielded it a 404 not found. So apologies if my comment comes up twice. It might be because my comment had a link in it. I wanted to suggest a 1950s pattern to you that i think you would enjoy in your handspun and that would look spectacular IMO. The same idea was also reused in the 1980s by Patricia Roberts in her Spectrum pattern, but i like the 1950s one better. Have a happy rest of your holidays!
Just remember if you use only alpaca for a sweater it will drop just what alpaca does as it has no memory a bit like the hat, you don’t seem to have 🧶 knitted any gloves 🧤 or mittens or am I mistaken. I wear my fingerless mitts a lot as well as my cowls, the shawls seem to sit in the cupboard unworn now I am retired
I'm inspired by your marzipan sweater knit and am planning on doing it in some hand dyed yarn I got in the summer. I have been spinning alpaca fibre for a while and am hoping to make a small skirt with it when I have enough (reasonably short, cabled, negative ease. I just want to look like a mug cosy) Is there a close up of those neon orange socks in any video? (Or image on other social media?)
@@MijnWolden watching this I was like "wow, 19 projects that's loads" just counted mine and if I include knitting, crochet, sewing and weaving I did 68 this year 😂 only about 4 things if it's handspun only though!
Which project of yours is my favorite? All of the above. My project plans for this year is to make myself a cabled sweater and spin and knit up socks for my men folk.
im absolutely obsessed with this woman. if you're reading this mrs. wolden you're such an inspiration and you have the best energy!
You're just so fun, and your videos are fun. You clearly put some effort into your video making and I'm on board for it! I'm so influenced I'm looking at spinnning videos at night when i can't sleep. I blame you. In the best way possible. Thanks for the high quality videos!
I will take the blame :D

Thank you ☺️♥️
My favorite is the 1940s wartime one, you looked adorable in the shot with the camera! ❤
☺️
Love 😍 the granny square sweater
Ooooh, I'm SO excited to see you tackle those bright red colors! That's going to be so much fun. Everything you made is stunning, I genuinely can't pick a favorite! I do really like your 1940's re-knit, and how the colors subtly shift throughout it.

Instead of adding elastic, you should try knitting some garters
While a great idea, I'll not do that on TH-cam for reasons :D
Which project of yours is my favorite? All of the above. My project plans for this year is to make myself a cabled sweater and spin and knit up socks for my men folk.
Cabled sweaters are always a good plan
The hat - Musselburgh - is pronounced Musselburra. It is a seaside town in Scotland.
When pointed out like that, it does make a lot of sense. Too bad my non-native english brain doesn't always make sense... :)
@@MijnWolden don't worry about it - English/US people often cannot pronounce Scottish names correctly 😅
Are you from Belgium? I sense a Flemish accent.
Your Flemish spidey senses are correct 😉
