    Loved your podcast again! So cozy! My favorite time of year is Thanksgiving and then into winter. I can wear all my cozy knits and also lots of family around! I loved your book recommendations! Happy holidays, looking forward to seeing what you’re knitting in the new year!

    I just love your podcast. You are one of my favorites to watch! There is always so much inspiration. I was looking for a classic vest with that exact construction, so that will be on my needles soon. I’m currently knitting Jingle by Isabell Kramer. I also love the tank top blended into the hot pink at the bottom. What a great idea. I’m totally going to try that with a leftover speckled yarn in my stash!

      Thank you so much!! Your kind words mean a lot to me. I hope you have a great time with the Avenue Vest!! One tip for blending one yarn to another is to pick out a color in the speckle for the next yarn so that it's a little more cohesive of a transition (forgot to mention it on the episode). Happy knitting!! Take care ❤️

      Each time you show us a mini mock tee , I think I would like one the. I look at the pattern and I think the modifications might be too much. I have favourited your project so maybe I will make it work soon. Thanks for the ideas and Merry Christmas.

    I think around Easter is my favorite. Bright green and blooming. Gentle rain, lots of sun, not too hot, not too cold. 😍 Merry Christmas, my friend! I hope you have a wonderfully lovely break and a happy new year! ❤

    I had never thought of it that way, but you are right. The time between Christmas and New Years is a calmer time. Now that I think of it, it us probably my favorite time also. That and my birthday. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season.

    I quickly downloaded the hot bottle “sweater” pattern and finished it in time to use during my chilly visit to my son’s home for Christmas. It is very needed since our bedroom is in the basement. I loved it. Thanks for all your great videos. Have a great 2025. 🎉❤

    Not only do I adore everything you make, but you always style it so well!! This is where I struggle. If you ever felt like doing a "how I style my handknits" video, I would be very interested! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!!

      Thank you so much! I'll have to think about this because I knit a lot of different things and I don't have set "rules" about styling - just what's comfortable, wearable, and what goes together for my mood that day. Playing with combos is always fun! I do talk about styling throughout several videos though so maybe you'll catch some inspiration here and there. Happy holidays to you and yours❤️

    You pronounced Paton’s correctly. I’ve been having a devil of a time getting that yarn in the US anymore - Joanne is all but getting rid of their wool, and Michael’s doesn’t carry a lot. It’s been my go-to for 50 years! 😢

    Hi Stephanie, thank you for taking time to share all the wonderful projects you have made and are working on.
    I am ordering the Avenue Vest and I also signed up for Farmer Daughter Fiber Sock club for next year. Yours have been so fun to see and the colors always seem to be something I love.
    I loved how you marled all the colors in your second vest, it is an art piece.
    You are a gift to us, you don't need to apologize for every creak or squeak or talking to fast or to slow. We obviously all love you.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family.
    I love winter too, it just seems so calm and quiet to me.

    Hi Stephanie, I really enjoy your videos. You certainly inspire me to be more creative with my knitting. I think my favourite time of the year might be Autumn or as you say Fall. Our winters are mild here with only a few really cold windy days. However that’s when I enjoy my handwork most. May I wish you and your family a very happy and blessed Christmas and I look forward to seeing more of your you tubes next year. Blessings 🙋🏼‍♀️🇦🇺

    Patons is pronounced pay-tons. It's an Australian brand, though sold globally. Patons is a much loved, iconic wool brand here in Australia. I love late Autumn where I live, the air is crisp & fresh yet still warm, all the mountain gardens are opened with a magnificent show of colour. The Christmas and New Year is my 2nd favourite, it's hot, pool time, river & beach time, icecream and forgetting what day it is. Between Christmas Day and New Year, there doesn't seem to be anything to do other than fun, for our family, everyone is off work and school

    What a treat! I sat down w/a cup of coffee and your video was waiting. I'm in awe that you found time to put together a video at Christimas when you must have a mile long list of things to do. The vest you are wearing is so cheerful. Perfect for this time of year. Autumn is my favorite time of year. It just feels like after a full schedule of spring & summer I can move at a slower pace for a month or so until the holiday prep starts.

    While my most favorite time of the year is probably early August , but the Thanksgiving weekend and the week between are up there as well . Funnily enough I just picked up that same Patons yarn in the same color from Michael’s last week . It’s going to match everything 😂 I also LOVED The House On the Cerulean Sea , and I didn’t know there was a sequel!! I’ve never jumped to my library page faster . Merry Christmas, I hope you have a merry, cozy , peaceful family time .

    My favourite time of year is this period. My birthday is at the end of Nov, my daughter in December, then we have christmas and then early January is my husbands birthday. Lots of celebrations 💗💗

I don't enjoy doing recaps or compilations and since I what I enjoy reading is mostly based on my mood at that time, one book might be my favorite at the time but not for a different mood. Plus, I don't remember what all I've read this year! lol. So many lovely celebrations in your family!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Birthdays!! Take care ❤️❤️❤️

    This episode was filled with lots of interesting content. I reserved "The Spellshop" at the nearby library branch and hope it arrives in time for me to have a cozy read on Christmas Day. The librarian suggested the Large Print edition because there's not a waiting list for it, so it should be available by Christmas Eve.
    My favorite time of year is the autumn season, which then folds into the four big holidays from Halloween through New Year's Day. I've already opened one Christmas gift. A friend gave me a Woolstok Bundle of 21 miniskeins of yarn by Blue Sky Fibers. So if the book doesn't come in by Christmas Day, I can knit!

    I love your podcast! Yes, you do speak fast, but you use great adjectives! If I'm listening to a podcast and I hear 'super cute' too many times, I completely shut off. No, it's not super cute. It's stunning, gorgeous, great contrast, or (and I loved this description) quiet contrast.
    The Avenue Vest is lovely. The linen quill marled one is perfect for denims or a casual day. I may need to create one or two for myself.
    I gave up my FDF sock subscription in 2024. I received lots of beautiful yarns, but wasn't using them as quickly as I was receiving them. Yes, there is some regret, but I still have many of those skeins in my stash.
    And I do remember the mint taffys! Guess that makes us 'of a certain age'.
    I love all the seasons for different reasons. When I had children at home, yes, the week between Christmas and New Year's was the best. Everyone had a 'new toy', the house is relatively clean, there is plenty of food and everyone is together. A marvelous time. Enjoy it now. My kids are grown with kids of their own, so now it's special when they bring their kids over to play here.

    The candy that is nougat /taffy like with the Christmas Tree design was made by Brach’s. Like you said it had a bit of Peppermint Taste. I really liked that type of chewy nougat. My grandparents always had it and I loved it as well. I have not seen any around in years unfortunately.

      Hi Judy! The “standard size” is 2L and what the free pattern I used is sized for so look for something of that volume and shape. I don’t have a specific recommendation but here’s an article you may find helpful from the Chicago Tribune: www.chicagotribune.com/2020/02/01/the-best-rubber-hot-water-bottle/.

      Having not actually knit the revised version (or looked at the pattern post-revision), I don't know how big of a change it is and I don't know which testers have completed it pre versus post-revision. You can ask the designer if you're concerned about the change!
