Thank you so much, you are a gem!

Hello from Maine! Just found you and enjoyed your podcast. Looking forward to your next one. I probably will go and watch the previous episodes but try not binge them 😃 and space them out.

Uhm I love those lil eggplant dinosaur socks

This was just suggested to me and it was perfect to listen to while finishing off my crochet granny hexagon cardigan; love your eggplant socks and everything else!

The eggplant socks are sooooo cute!! Love the colors!

Ooo I wanna knit that cardigan. Love the lace detail and how comfy it looks. 💗

Perfect! But I didn't see anything.

Ah my beautiful niece ❤. You look amazing as usual! I love your egg plant socks😍 And your sweater is worthy of a magazine photo! Thank you for sharing and someday I will be inspired enough to maybe make some besides blankets, hats and scarfs ! ❤❤❤

Maybe you would like to knit the Yume by Isabell Kraemer or the Still Light Tunic by Veera Valimäki or The Traveler by Andrea Mowry out of your beautiful yarn 😃

Thank you for your advise.

Thanks so much Emily. I am hoping to knit this for my daughter who is size 8 Australian which is tiny. Listening to your modifications has really helped. I will also check out your Ravelry project page. I am worried that the yoke will be too deep for her but will persevere with changing the maths as you suggest. One keen new subscriber who loves your patient and easy to follow explanations xx

Funny to hear your recollections tonite, I am just restarting a R. I ripped back a year ago, it was so big, its been in a bag and now I want to see if I can salvage it , the yarn is lovely and its going to be winter soon...I share a lot of your opinions. I followed all of SunDragon's videos, they were great, she only shares technique, not info direct from pattern, and she often stated that folks need to purchase the pattern ..it made the yoke more fun to knit watching someone execute the stitch, it was all new to me. Thanks for interesting discussion.

Stockholm Syndrome!! 🤣. Would be interested to see how you do your modified stretchy bind off.

Good video. Makes me not so scared to undo all my work. I'm using a dk weight with 6 mm (10 for you guys). I did the small neck first and it was tiny so did the large. It still fits snug around my neck. More like a crew neck. I must have counted those stitches 4 times. I'm now at the sleeves, and they don't look like they have alot of ease. At least not according to the pattern. Looks like I may be knitting this for my 98 lb daughter.

The cast ons are to keep the neckline really loose. The neck sits better if you leave out the front short rows. The wool you wanted was Aran weight. I'm just starting my second, feeling excited,

I want to make it. I'm an experienced knitter but it seems like a lot of stuff around

Good commentary, and food for thought.

I have debated on this one because it is so oversized and didn't look like modification to make it more fitted would work. I ended up doing the Ilha by Tete Beche and I love it, also the love note is lovely and a quick knit

Bear with me.

I like how your sweater turned out. The color is beautiful too. I just ordered the yarn to make this sweater. Thanks for sharing your yarn. With so much going on I wanted to use a tried and true yarn.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have knit one and am not sure how I feel about it. I prefer the yoke fit of the Love Note as well. I am going to knit it again but with mods for sure.

Watched a number of RUclips videos about this pattern. Many knitters seem to use this pattern as a recipe and use different yarn gauges to get the fit and look they want, especially after the original one-size pattern took off a number of years ago in popularity. Currently knitting my 3rd Ranunculus with 4 mm and 3.75 mm needles in a sport weight yarn, so have changed gauge drastically for a denser fabric and look - - this meant changing the stitch/row counts to get ‘my fit’ of about 4” of ease. I am a sweater knitter and track 12 different measurements for each FO (before and after blocking). I know how each sweater fits and my FO s/s measurements enable me to block to ‘my’ finished size each time I wash. My s/s also gives me the ability to compare how a new pattern will likely fit me compared to a current FO and decide if that is the look I want. Interesting episode. I find Ranunculus is a delightful pattern template that is very adaptable for yarn substitutions and fit.

I plan on making my first, tried a gauge swatch….already struggling 😄 I mainly like the look of SOME samples. Now starting to realize a lot of people have used their own gauge which is less helpful to me. Did you ever get gauge? Also how much yardage did you use for what size? The low yardage also drew me in, but now realizing it may not be accurate 😕

RUclips just recommended you to me and I’m happy it did

Thanks so much. Thought I was the only person having issues with it

I found this helpful, thanks. I'm really intrigued by the pattern but a little overwhelmed as to where to start with so many yarn options and possible variations in sleeve lengths and finishings etc. Might try a short sleeve in some alpaca silk that's been waiting sitting around for ages.

I made mine with elbow-length sleeves, and the diagonal sleeve detail curves around my elbows and it sits really nicely.

I"M SO sorry I lost one. I have a bad habit of dropping a mitten. I'm working hard at that!

This is one of my favorites that you've made.

I will never knit that pattern, they are better patterns that. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Why so negative? It’s a beautifully clear pattern with no confusions about number of repeats etc. Every pattern I have ever knitted needs adjusting for your own length of sleeves/body so that’s hardly a reason to grumble. There are 2 neckline options for you to choose from and any knitter with some experience will automatically adapt cuffs from an i cord bind off to a rib etc or add/shorten the length of rib. For the neck, I just use a long tail cast on, making sure it’s not too tight, and I’ve never had any problems with that. It is clearly shown as an oversized jumper so it seems weird to complain about that feature. Also, when talking about needles it would help considerably to mention sizes in mm not just us sizes. Try it in a fingering weight with mohair… I think it looks great 😊

Down for testing, obviously.🎉

I am just finishing this sweater. It is my second sweater ever. I appreciate your insight. Perhaps because I am a fly by the seat of my pants knitter and in even larger part because I knit it in two strands of mohair, I too have found it very quick and easy to make modifications as needed, plus because of the mohair it hides a multitude of sins. lol. I like the look of yours as a more substantial sweater and will make one in that weight next time. thanks.

I really like the color of your sweater. Thanks for your honest review. 🧶

Spot on with your advice...and I have to say "I too have some hate for the sizing of this monster", lol! The collar is ridiculously complicated and unneccesarily so... I skipped both patterns suggestions and just made my own twisted rib and it was so much easier after that. Thank you for your input!

I ripped mine 3 times as well. 3 years ago. It went to donations because I blew the center back, have no idea how, and I’m a lace knitter! I prefer the Love Note.

Very helpful thank you.

Thanks so much for your video and tips. Especially about the sizes of needles and sizes of the pattern that you used. I have started mine, using size 10 needles and sport weight yarn. I've chosen the size 4 of the pattern, as I want a good amount of positive ease. This is my first sweater ever!! I am fairly 'busty', so I don't want my sweater to be too tight there. Hoping I don't have to frog back too many times!!! I'm using lifelines...for sanity's sake!

I wish you did this video a few months ago 😅… I knitted this pattern and made numerous adjustments. I knitted it for someone. I basically made it in to a blouse and instead of doing the I-cord I just did a ribbing and it turned out just fine. I will be knitting another one for me this time around and plan using larger size needles and making a 3/4 sleeves. I think the pattern is pretty easy to follow considering the number of pages; it was well written… Thanks for sharing! Your video has been very informative ❤

Thank you for your video. You’ve made me feel I’m not the only one struggling with this pattern. My ranunculus is half done, in a bag somewhere in a dark corner of my wardrobe, don’t want you to see it for a while….one day I shall re-visit it, but I’m not ready yet for it. Thanks, you’ve made me feel better. Greetings from the UK.

Thank you. Your video really was helpful.

well, I did not find any problems with the pattern, on the contrary: I found it extremely clear and straightforward... I do wonder if it is your vs Japanese knitting pattern standards - what kind of a pattern is perfect in your opinion?

You’ve made some important observations. As someone similarly shaped t, I really appreciate it!

I followed Subdragon's tutorials and found them very helpful. I kn it two versions using Coboo and love them.

Way to persevere.

I am OBSESSED with that needle case!!!!

Hi! I just stumbled upon your channel because the algorithm suggested it to me! I love all the colors that you're using :) Love that cardigan at the end!

I think your Ranunculus looks super cozy!

That sock is fabulous 🎉

Weird little torsos unite !! I just split for the sleeves and was like 4"?? But then I thought well maybe. Glad I watched this and will see how many inches I actually need to avoid the Winnie Effect! Also loved the Birds of a Feather shawl! You deserve mother of the year for that response to "I cut your yarn." 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
