I am 62 and started knitting at aged 5. In that time, I have never done a gauge swatch. I have also never knitted a garment in the round - I liked to make things on straight needles and then seamed them. I like the way you refer to your child as ‘them/they’, so there is no gender bias 👏🏻 I am vegan so I never use animal fibres - nearly always acrylic as I donate everything I make. A great podcast!

Thank you for your comment Jinny! Did you know that we only have a gender neutral third-person pronouns in Finnish (hän/he)? I'm pleased to know that you noticed this detail since we try to be as gender sensitive in our parenting as we can. I can tell you that it has and continues to be a learning curve :)

@@kutopia well done you! I was on a week’s research trip to Rauma in Finland in 2008 and it was beautiful.
I volunteer as a tribute if you need someone to knit for 💛🧡💚💙💜
