Midland Test Call (open for 24 hours form publishing) - forms.gle/Rbe9...
The opening made me laugh. If you haven't heard it yet, the sweater is beautiful! As are your other creations, especially the cowl and the rust fingerless gloves. Very precious.
Beautiful sweater! My children are grown now but thank you for bringing back sweet ( and tiring) memories of when they were small. You are definitely blessed that you recognize those special moments. Enjoy every one.💕
Oh my gosh Laura…your sweater….breathtaking, literally breathtaking! Hope Mr. Penrose made it home safe and sound!!! Glad you stayed home and didn’t buy paint! ❤
Thankyou for such an enjoyable week of vlogs I have loved following your ups and downs ,keeping it real.I love the Midland cardigan and will look forward to all the brilliant test knitters getting stuck in to help with the finished product.
Laura, you're so funny! The jumper is beautiful. I really like the colour combo 😊
I so enjoy watching your vlogs. Such cozy content to watch while knitting.
Thank you for another lovely episode. Love your Maxine sweater! 🤩 I hope you have a nice day!
As a Maxine Sweater tester, I can absolutely attest to the fact that it was such a clear pattern right from the start. 🤩Your second one is perfection.
☺️☺️☺️😘😘😘
Your sweater came out beautiful! That soup made me so hungry it looked delicious. Best of luck with the test knit! I think the cowl is stunning and would be a great christmas gift. Maybe one day? Thanks for the video 😊
Love this Maxine sweater, your colour choice is beautiful. Emma’s wool with the mohair is perfect. Well done!
Oh and it was fantastic to see the Maxine hot water bottle featuring with Kaci on youngfolk knits, it must warm your heart to see how far your patterns travel ❤️
Yes it was wonderful to watch! Kaci is so sweet and her work is just amazing!! X
Loved your opening and I LOVE your new sweater!!
Your sweater is amazing, I don’t think fellow Mum’s notice because you always have fabulous knitware on.
Thanks for these blogs really enjoying watching.
My tip of the day is order your paint on line no leaving the house and it comes very quickly
Best wishes Frances
Spent a good couple minutes looking at the midland test knit page wanting to apply but knowing I don’t have the time to commit to test knits with two little not yet in school at home, so I’m saving you the work of having to read my application, but know I love the design and the Maxine. Excited to knit them in the future!
I so enjoyed your podcast today. With all the weather things here in Florida I can’t seem to knit. Everything with me is fine but just the drama of it all and how sad it all is. Thank you for your positivity.
Sending thoughts and hugs your way, I can’t even imagine how scary and stressful it is! Hope you and your loved ones stay safe! Xxx
Thank you for another autumn volg so happy for you that your day went well. I love love the Maxine sweater cant wait till its released in November. Your soup looked amazing it is that time of year for some great soups. 😊 until tmrw
Another lovely video Laura! Your spontaneous content is so good--talking through the winter accessories in the basket and how you choose pattern testers
Thank you, I feel I’ve become a much more relaxed/spontaneous vlogger since starting a patron on doing it every month, so I’m glad it’s appreciated! X
You made me laugh so hard. Thank you!
The new Maxine is stunning! Can’t wait til it comes out in November 😊
😂😂 perfect intro and sooo relatable
Sitting here watching while working on a test knit for a friend whose been designing for a few years but struggles to get sufficient knitters especially in the larger sizes. So interesting to hear how you you decide on test knitters.
There are some fantastic Instagram accounts that promote test calls specifically focus on size inclusivity, as long as they meet the criteria (enough sizes, long enough time frame etc). Fattestknits is one that’s helped me find testers for the larger sizes a few times! I’d suggest your friend definitely check them out!! X
Your intro was hilarious and so freakin relatable! I almost spit out my coffee laughing. 😂 Thank you for that!
I am in love with the midland cardigan since I first saw it back in 2023 and I thought about applying to be a test knitter (never done that) but my anxiety kept me from applying. It took a whole long dog walk yesterday for my brain to convince me that I‘d better not apply and that’s okay. 😅
The cowl looks beautiful and I love pumpkin soup. 🧡
Have a lovely life admin day today. ~ Kat
Even though growth comes from being uncomfortable, it’s also important we respect our boundaries and push ourselves when the time is right. The midland is not ideal for a first test knit so you made the right decision! I’d recommend trying an accessory test knit to start with and it’s a much smaller commitment ☺️☺️☺️ x
@@_laurapenrose_ Thank you for the advice but I don’t want to become a test knitter. I probably could not handle the fear of disappointing the designer. It was just something about this cardigan that almost made me want to jump over my shadow. 😅 I am so looking forward to this design and will be one of the first persons to purchase the pattern. 🤎
Such a fun & enjoyable episode. The Maxine looks great, I can see me knitting one or for all of my daughters and daughter inlaws. I really need to get onto Instagram..........
Love your sweater if my hands are able would looooooove to knit. Well done 🥰
Haha, but the sweater looks amazing ❤
Love the sweater
The big question is, was it the nice boiler man? haha. The Maxine 3 colour is absolutely beautiful. I've just picked mine back up in preparation for weekend car knitting!
This made me laugh 🤣🤣 no it wasn’t THE nice boiler man, but he was still nice ☺️
I don't apply for test knits for garments because I am (rightfully) not likely to be chosen along with my fear of not finishing in time and disappointing people. My size is right smack in the middle, so there will always be a lot of applicants, and other than having a Ravelry account (not under this name), I have zero social media presence, so I won't be of any use for marketing. I have test knitted for an accessory, so I can check test knitting off my bucket list. It was a wonderful experience (at least on my side. I don't want to speak for the designer), but I've no need to repeat it. Happy to purchase the pattern once it's complete even if I am antsy waiting for it to drop. :D Thanks for making me giggle right from the start. I have played that same scenario (minus the designing part) in my head sooooo many times. I have to laugh at myself. Grins!
❤❤❤
Yeah, I don't think test knitting will probably be something I would ever get chosen for and even though I'd love to apply for yours, I won't. I don't do IG due to my executive function issues and mental health. It's a real shame but I'm more important than a test knit and my knitting is more important to me than that too. Good luck with everything. You're finished sweater looks fantastic!
When you mentioned “boiler overflow” i cringed a bit inside thinking of the boiler overflowing.
