I can not believe the amount of knitting you do! I love all your choices in patterns, and yarns! Thanks for sharing. And good luck on your new and exciting endeaver.
Best of luck with getting all your projects completed! Looking forward to seeing how they all turn out 😊 thank you for the message at the end of the podcast, I really needed to hear that today ❤
Hi from NYC. Just watching your video for the first time. Love your honesty and energy and relatable presentation. look forward to watching more. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for today. Tolsta tee I want to make and after your last video I purchased the pattern. ( too afraid to join the MALKAL’s. ) but thank you for the chat about this lovely pattern. Looks good on you ! Your tenderness today was honest and just … you are strong. I recall your first video… I have enjoyed all your sharing. I do wish I could be as comfortable as you in terms of sharing …. We do all have strengths and weaknesses. As an introvert I always love looking into the window of places I wish I could go ( IG….sharing and u-tubing). But so glad strong Women are available to look up to. Thank you. ( the Marathon would be the thing I would wish I had done…. I did do a half tho and loved the training. Take care…
It’s always a pleasure to watch your knitting podcasts. Your positive energy, and ability to share is inspiring. I am so happy you were able to find a community that allowed you to grow in ways that you did not expect. So happy for your new endeavors. ❤
Thanks for another great episode. So interesting to hear how your increased conference gained through the podcast has overlapped into your "day" job. I have really noticed it in your latest episodes. Good luck with the course. I thought about your ideas on Art when i was at the national gallery in London , it was so busy, but everyone visiting, seemed to have such different ideas and perspectives, so enjoyably and amazing to see sunflowers, but it was Lake Keitele, that blew me away...❤
Oh this is wonderful to hear, Lorna! I'm so excited to hear that you thought of it while having your own art experience, literally my dream come true is giving folks access to art and confidence with their own ideas!
Last weekend I traveled to Montreal and went to Espace Tricot (creators of the Fleur shawl) to see in person, yarns I can't get where I live. I had the fuwafuwa in and out of my shopping basket many times 😊. The Fleur is a lot of fun to knit, the bobbles are fun and is a lightweight travel project (i used Handmaiden silk mohair)
I love your color choices, blue is my favorite color, I gravitate to it first & always. I'm finishing up my Tolsta, what an awesome pattern! It actually fits. This is the best fit ever for something I've knit. My Tolsta is solid in Orchid pink, cotton/tencel yarn - I love the feel of this shirt too. I definitely want to make a striped one, and after seeing yours I want to do one with the lace pattern. That's gorgeous on you. Good luck with your new endeavor LIly. I love art, but it has to look good, I basically hate most of what Picasso did. I love Mary Cassatt's little girls on the beach. Edward Hopper, Ansel Adams, Monet, Michelangelo, ancient greek statues, different architecture designs. Lots of things... the creativity of people is truly impressive. You're in a really interesting field.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, and your Tolsta sounds AMAHZING. The fit really is divine and I'm excited for Rebecca's new cardigan pattern that testers are seeming to love the fit of as well. And thank you for sharing your love of art! It is a language of its own, and helps us communicate so much! Thanks again for watching and happy knitting!
Congrats on your new adventure with online teaching, I believe it has come to bare because you chose to be Brave! Love your knits and especially your latest purchase for the Tessellated pullover…… the color choices sing to me and I’m looking on Moondrake’s site now trying to get to self permission to purchase. Happy knitting……..
Oh thank you so much, Susie!! I am out of my comfort zone, but as I tell my kiddos "you can't be brave without being scared too!" And thanks also for supporting my undisciplined knitting era lol! I'm going to be a Moondrake fan for life I can tell!
I love all your knitting, the colours and yarn are gorgeous! I wouldn't worry about the hum of your Tessalated Pullover rolling. When you have it on your body, that on its own will lessen the roll. Plus, it's wool, so blocking will do wonders. Just make sure you pin down that rollie police hem. I cant wait to see it grow!
Your eyelet Tolsta looks terrific, this makes me want to make same version. I really like how your neckline fits. Great podcast, this is my first time watching your show. Waving hello from 🇨🇦
So Lily, I just going to put this out there...the Sheep Camp is a really fun knit and I knit mine in less than a week. You can totally do it. I love the periwinkle on you. Such a beautiful colour
Yes 🙌 , I’m going to do it, 🙌 I’ve wildly underestimated the amount of yarn for the sonder anyway and just going to keep going with my undisciplined cast ons 💙
Good for you taking this step forward and building on your success with the knitting podcast. Your enthusiasm shines through as you talk about your new venture.
You can do 3! Sheepcamp was pretty fast, it has shorter and tight sleeves so those are fast and it’s also pretty cropped. I did one less triangle in the yoke though after reading some of the project reviews
As always, I love your color choice! I am so happy to hear this platform has opened up other opportunities for you. As you are one of my favorite podcasters, I'm sure you'll do great teaching about another passion you have.
I get the "lingering" shawls ! I had my second Half and Half waiting to be finished. Worked on finishing for hours and hours , and had 30 stitches remaining to be reconciled. (About 5 inches!) Timed myself for an average round, and figured out I still had 10 hours of knitting to finish! Kind of overwhelming! For that small piece. Frustrating! I stuck with it, and after 9 hours and 18 minutes- I was done! Would I do it again???? Probably not.
Always love to watch your podcast. Your yarn choice and process of selecting colors is always inspiring. Congratulations on your new venture and its wonderful to see how putting yourself out here in one space can lead to more success in other areas.
Great episode! Love all your sweaters. The Satellite shawl is beautiful and your colors are perfection. Can you share what yarn and colorways you used for it? Thanks.
Ah ... more periwinkle ... the only thing that holds me back from acquiring ALL YARNS PERIWINKLE is that every other knit I knit is a gift knit and that breaks my mania💙 ... phew
Love your knits, as always! Are you making it to Sacred Sheep? I am almost done with a Sheep Camp sweater and now you have me rethinking my yarn choices - I may have to make another 😁
Thank you for letting me know! It's a total drag I know :( I think it's just for the first week or so after they publish? I actually broke down and got the premium myself after I had way too many on Knitting Traditions!
@@suemount6042 thanks Sue, they’re timed and not the ones you can skip after a few seconds. Which actually is annoying to me when they’re every four minutes and they take 2 minutes to run.
Beautiful colors. You can try it on as you go… put the stitches on a cord and put it on. You’ll be able to see how it fits at the hips. When you knit a few inches do it again. I’m a newish knitter but I sew and try on everything at every stage and make corrections as I go. Always seemed strange when people say they can’t test bottom up. You certainly can, it’s just the opposite as a top down. You still can see the fit as you go just from the hip up. If it’s too big when you knit up to the waist decrease. If it’s small increase. I’d be mortified knitting a whole sweater and it didn’t fit. The best part about knitting is if I screw it up I can rip it out😂 sewing something too small to fit…not a lot of options except losing weight 🤦♀️ , I love knitting since I can just rip back and make increases or decreases. Love it. Takes longer but very creative to knit a sweater.
So interesting! I actually do find that bottom up is more challenging for me to predict fit-the shoulder hang and fit makes such a difference that if the body length is off it can dramatically impact the overall fit for me! That said, I cast on with a provisional cast on and did the ribbing going down so I have a little hack to adjust length if I need it! 😜 And how great to bring your sewing experience to a new craft-the flexibility of knitting is for sure one of its super powers! 💪
As a gallery guide, I really enjoy how you bring your passion for art into your knitting practice (which I love to do too). enjoy. I can relate to your enthusiasm to start the next beautiful project. But maybe focus on finishing the two sweaters in-progress and the shawl in hibernation. Take the half-and-half wrap on the road, or leave it a corner like mine is 😂 Then you’ll have all of the new projects to cast-on after Rheinbeck. ❤
I am very inspired by your podcast but I feel I need 3 hands to watch it...2 to knit with while I watch and 1 to skip the copious ads! Not sure if this is under your control or not.
Thanks so much for letting me know, Lou Anne! I do try to get the ad settings dialed in and will double check this one, but sometimes the algorithm is beyond me! Thanks for watching anyways! :)
Lily, you look amazing in your Tolsta, congrats on the new adventure! Proud of you and your confidence to take new steps. :)
Thank you so much!!
I really love your tolsta tee. Yours is the first I've seen That makes me say, "Wow! I need to knit that!"
You DO! I love the recipe part of it, like a sweater remix :) thanks so much for the kind comments!
I can not believe the amount of knitting you do! I love all your choices in patterns, and yarns! Thanks for sharing. And good luck on your new and exciting endeaver.
Thank you so much! I do feel a bit behind, but it's good to remember that this is a SLOW craft :) Thanks for your kind and thoughtful comments!
Best of luck with getting all your projects completed! Looking forward to seeing how they all turn out 😊 thank you for the message at the end of the podcast, I really needed to hear that today ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi from NYC. Just watching your video for the first time. Love your honesty and energy and relatable presentation. look forward to watching more. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!! I miss my NYC days, though perhaps not in August? Though there were some way too much fun summer in the city moments! :)
so wonderful that you’ve found your freedom in doing something you love! you made me emotional too 😂 congrats!

Thank you kindly!
That first step was the hardest! Glad to see you are moving forward in your creative world.
Yes! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I am truly grateful for what this experience has given me, big Cali hugs!
I love your Sonder - it really inspired me to use some of my stash yarn! Can't wait to see your FO.
Thank you so much!

Your Tessellated sweater is pretty. Corrugated ribbing is so different from regular ribbing, it does not stretch as much and does roll at times...eek!
Thanks for the tips!
Onward and upward Lilly! Thank you for giving me the confidence to try some new challenges on my knitting journey also.
Huzzah! So happy to hear, and thank you for the kind wishes!
Good for you taking this step forward and building on your success with the knitting podcast. Your enthusiasm shines through as you talk about your new venture.

Thank you so much! I so appreciate this, and it's so cool to see how we can grow from trying new things--at any stage!

Thank you so much! It's really true that confidence is infectious and I'm so grateful for this amazing space! thanks for all your support, Jane!
Great episode! Love all your sweaters. The Satellite shawl is beautiful and your colors are perfection. Can you share what yarn and colorways you used for it? Thanks.
I'm not with it now, but you can check back about one year ago when I started it! I think it's episode 4 where I go through all the yarns in detail!
Happy Sunday Lily! Thanks for putting yourself out here and sharing, this has been so lovely to watch and listen to as I get ready for work :)
You are so welcome! Happy Sunday and happy week! Thanks so much for the support and kind words! 🤗
Your eyelet Tolsta looks so fresh and nice on you! Great to hear how much podcasting has given to you, even new areas in worklife, wow! 😊🙏
Oh thank you! Feeling really lucky and thanks so much for your support!
I love your tessellated pullover! And, as always, I love the vulnerability and intention you bring to this craft! ❤
Oh, thank you Chelsea! I can’t wait to see what you got up to in the PNW! Appreciate you so much 🤗
Hola!!🦋 Muy lindo tu podcast, hermosos tus tejidos. Muy lindas combinaciones de color. Un saludo desde Patagonia Argentina 🇦🇷 😍
Gracias Alejandra! Estoy muy emocionada que personas in otras países están viendo! (y lo siento por mi española, que mala!)
Hi! First time watcher and I just subscribed! Looking forward to future podcasts. Thanks so much!!
Welcome aboard! It’s such a lovely crew (small, but mighty creative and supportive!) and we are so glad you’re here!
Delightful and entertaining as always. All the best for your next professional step, I’m sure it will be a great success.
Thank you! So appreciate your support and encouragement 🤗
Ah ... more periwinkle ... the only thing that holds me back from acquiring ALL YARNS PERIWINKLE is that every other knit I knit is a gift knit and that breaks my mania💙 ... phew
I love that "every other" idea! Perhaps in a more disciplined knitting era I will use it! :) And yes, this periwinkle from Moondrake is phenomenal!
If you find you are running short of the Sonder use the contrast colors at hem.
Yes, I love a contrast hem!
Love your knits, as always! Are you making it to Sacred Sheep? I am almost done with a Sheep Camp sweater and now you have me rethinking my yarn choices - I may have to make another 😁
I would LOVE to, but I think my fall is going to be tapped out--I DO desperately want one of their super cute tote bags though :)
I am going to Rhinebeck as well. Hope to meet you there. Are you in Canada?
Yippeee! Love to see you there, I'm actually based in the Bay Area of California, so it's a long trip, but so worth it!
I am in Peterborough Ontario Canada. There is a lot of people there. @@Lily_curatorial_knits
I’m not sure if it’s your decision or TH-cam but having ads every 4-5 mins is really making a wonderful podcast a drag to watch.
Thank you for letting me know! It's a total drag I know :( I think it's just for the first week or so after they publish? I actually broke down and got the premium myself after I had way too many on Knitting Traditions!
Agree...typically enjoy your podcast but couldn't make it through this one only because of the excessive ads
It might be annoying just skip them it’s not that difficult

I am just wandering about nutiden yarn, do you find it wearable next to skin?
It depends on the blend, actually! But I do usually wear something under them. 🤗
