Hi Devin. I’m behind on podcast listening and haven’t listened to this one yet. I want to weigh in on love/hate fall. I’m in Michigan where we have 4 distinct seasons and I’m so happy about that. This time of year I’m usually so done with the heat and I’m ready for crisp air, colorful leaves, college football and sweater weather. This year not so much though. We had a great summer. Im going to miss long days and late sunsets, bountiful produce at the farmers market, flowers and green everything, and time on the water. I’m a little bummed about the weather change this year. I’m not ready for the short days, brown dreariness and lack of sunshine that follows fall.
Congratulations On 6K subscribers!! 🎉 LOVE your channel!! I absolutely LOVE the Polina Pullover…it is definitely on my to do list! Teti has gorgeous designs!
Im so excited to receive your coffee balm! Last year I had to give up coffee :( I’ve told so many people that the thing I miss most is the smell! And I’m so excited to sip my warm water in the morning and put this balm on my hands and just calmly pretend ❤ thank you for all you do
Hello, loved your podcast! I loved that the one ladies grand daughter wants to be Knitty Mcpurly and Charlotte too! 😍. The sock month club sounds interesting. I am not sure I can do it, but I am going to look into it. Have a blessed week!
Teti is Ukrainian! Her designs are beautiful and the patterns are well written. I knit the Polina last fall and I could easily knit another if it wasn't for all the other wonderful designs she has that I feel compelled to knit. I can't wait to see your Benedicta in those autumnal colors!
I too have admired your no-name pattern when you’ve worn it. I wish I were brave enough to “wing it” and try to create something similar. Its shape and fit kind of reminds me of the Pavement sweater by Vera Valimaki, which I have made twice. The neck construction and increases are different, and it doesn’t have puffy sleeves, but the overall look is similar to me. It’s a great pattern.
I think I actually prefer your accidental sleeve modification that made for the smaller puff on the sleeves! I like puffy sleeves but am generally content to admire them on skinny people😅 I'm broad in the shoulders and truly puffy sleeves are not flattering on me. I have to pay attention visually to narrow my neckline/shoulders and accent my hip line to create a visual hourglass, balancing my broad shoulders. And the smaller, daintier puff works really well with the very feminine aesthetic of the sweater. We would love a picture of Gigi wearing it! I vote for a photoshoot! ❤ I cast on Benedicta two weeks ago in Bougie and Fathom and I'm using light color for yoke and transitioning to dark color for bottom, because I'm hoping that will give that visual effect. I'm also planning to adjust the colorwork a bit for same reason. I have an internal debate going right now about exactly how I want to adjust it to keep it completely intact (i love the symbolism) and overall stay as close to the design as possible. This is my first colorwork sweater so I am very realistic about the limits of my ability for making modifications!!! I have already learned that I cannot work on colorwork when I'm tired, I made the silliest mistake on a colorwork row (missed a single contrast color stitch) and figured it out 3 rows and couple days later (I also have a 5 month old kitten who thinks my knitting is a wonderful game, so the knitting gets put away when he needs attention, which has significantly impacted my knitting time😂)..... anyway, I spent a couple days picking it up and putting it down, trying to figure out if I could fix it without tinking 3 rows (nope). Finally, I tinked back 3 rows and redid it, which was definitely the right decision! The colorwork is making sense again! Oops! Kitten just came and found me! (His name is Charlie) Knitting is going in its bag! I think September and River Rock Benedicta is going to be stunning! Perfect fall sweater weather knitting!
Oh Devin, I’m glad you tried the PS (Phosphatidyl serene) but you are right that you need to go up in the amount you eat. The clinical trials found 600 mg to be the effective amount. More doesn’t work better and less didn’t seem to have any noticeable affect. It usually takes 6 weeks or more to notice a difference. So stick with it and here’s hoping it helps you as much as it has helped me. I just passed my 81st trip around the sun and shudder to think how my brain would be functioning now if it had remained on the path it was on several years ago.
I can highly recommend Edie Eckman as a reliable tech editor for both knit and crochet. I don’t know what you are looking for as reasonably priced since that is subjective, but I know Edie personally and have for many years. If my current tech editor ever retired I would ask Edie to work with me in a heartbeat
Devan, hi, I am a new Netter but I don’t like heavy sweaters and I want to knit everything in fingering weight which is perfect for me in the winter even I just prefer and wear them more if they’re lighter could we ever do the benefit and fingering weight? I am 40 in the bus and I’m bigger in my tummy and hips, but I’m working right now at getting that off but at my age it takes so much longer. I am gonna be 70 next month or in December 1 of December, so that’s why I was thinking cardigan, but it will be my first I have made a tank top and a socks 9 inch circulars getting ready for our socks 1 January. I did buy your beautiful red that you made your sweater out of and I got it in fingering weight because I know I like fingering weight, unfortunately I am a new so it will take me longer and maybe I should do a DK for my sweater. It will be easier and so maybe I just should. I did write down for first sweaters I will look them up. I love petite net garments and maybe I should just size up one size I don’t know, so petite is a good one for first timer. I will check that out. I’m really wanting to make a cardigan, but I’m also wanting to make a pull over. I just need to lose my tummy which I am working on right now so I don’t know I wanna make a sweater. I’m just a little afraid it’s not gonna fit.
Do you know any children who are knit worthy? I'd recommend the flax sweater by tin can knits. It comes in all the sizes from baby to adult. Get some acrylic worsted at a big box craft store and gain some confidence with less effort and a bigger yarn that your preferred yarn.
@@LearnedhandknitsThis is good advice! The only thing is that sometimes big box yarn is uninspiring. I started with good yarn because it was inspiring to me. Maybe pick a pattern that you love enough to go for and inspiring yarn and that will be the push that you need! ❤
Just wanted you to know that you and your "sock along" got a shout out from the Fruitful Hands podcast. I love those two!
Congratulations On 6K subscribers!! 🥳

I would absolutely buy the kit with the colors you are currently wearing! Now :)
Congratulations 🎉 on reaching 6 thousand subscribers 😊

I would have never asked, but since you offered …… please make a kit for the Caitlin Hunter sweater you made. Deb and I will buy it. Do it sister!!!!
Loved today's video. Here in the UK there are many days in the summer when I wear a sweater with long sleeves. 🇬🇧
Hey Elaine! It’s cooler there. I would die in Virginia in the summer with a sweater on! 🇬🇧

This is good to know Karen!
Hi! Love the wildflower tee. Do you have a link to the pattern?
Google Wise Owl Knits Wildflower! It’s a great pattern!
How will the sock club be billed? All at once or one month at a time?
One month at a time, and you can cancel if you want!
“Old lady hands”, ouch… 🤨
