I have a cashmere sweater that's too big and has some holes in it. You've inspired me to think that I might be able to unpick it and knit something. Do you have any tips for unpicking sweaters?

❤

I made sure to skip ahead so I don't ruin the surprise haha. Can't wait to open it when we get back 💕

Fun episode, thank you, Emma. I love how you repurpose yarns and give them a new existence. It’s very inspiring 🤗🧶💕

Great choices & presentation. I really must get to grips with top down projects. Being English, ive knitted bottom up designs for 50+ years 😂😂😂

Really enjoyed your outdoor chat!

Hi, I am knitting on a Ranunculus and also on a Cumulus blouse, both in plant fiber summer yarns! Enjoyed the park knitting!

This was so nice😊 You really say what I have been thinking when people complain about knitting petiteknit. And I live in Norway and yes, I do see quite a bit of petiteknit sweaters around. But I think it's great! Petiteknit has done something right! Classic, wearable sweaters! And yes! Let's all just knit what we want without and not complain about other peoples knitting habits🤗 Have a wonderful weekend 🧶

It was a lovely video in the park! 🎉 I was watching while sorting many bags of yarn that my neighbor gave me….😮.

Hi Emma! I am in NY State and I am also absolutely loving this weather. It is perfect! It was so cool yesterday that I brought out my Silverlining sweater by Jenn Steingass and worked on the yoke. I’m about half way through. But my yarn is a 100% wool and I haven’t been able to bear working on it since the warm weather started. I liked your video. Being a farm girl myself I have a hard time in cities…too noisy! Looking forward to your next video for sure!

Maybe try using an elastic band to grip your needle just while you twist it to tighten it. The extra grip should give you a tad more tightness so it doesn’t keep loosening off. 💕🤞🏼

Cute little video. I am knitting on a long summer cardigan in bed. Because here in the Himalayas it's monsoon. Non stop rain for like 15h now.greetings

What's the pattern for the sweater you're wearing?

Hi. I really enjoyed your knit and chat in the park. Your videos are always good but,I loved knitting with you in such a relaxed setting.

Coincidentally, I'm knitting a Boston Red Sox beanie 😀

❤

I LOVE this. Good for you!! Embrace the city. I’m knitting a swatch while watching you. Oh coincidentally, I’m about to order Drops Paris for a natural colored simple raglan sweater. How do you like the yarn?

Really nicely done tanks!! And I love the bright yellow for April. Great job!

❤

Thank you for this fun episode! I do love the woolly knits, and just finished a shawl. I will say, I love fingering weight pullovers. I don't mind the 3.0mm needles. I just love the lighter weight, and the ability to layer my sweaters with a shawl or a scarf. I also find the smaller gauge is easier on my hands.

Love a good waffle texture

Can’t find the “blouson tee” pattern that you mentioned…how do you spell that?

I've been waiting for autumn and winter since spring began 😅 love all the textures and botanical elements in these designs 🍂🍁

Yes all the texture!!! It's really appealing!

❤

I’m 66 and have always preferred collared, button down shirts. Not the trend usually! I just finished a sweater for my 4-month-old granddaughter for winter. Now, to knit a sweater for her older brother. Small sweaters are so fast!

You have a great podcast! I love the speed at which you discuss each pattern. Thanks for not overtalking!

Another interesting episode Emma! So impressed that you are finishing those lingering wips . I would be ashamed to tell you how many are in my closet😊 I would like to recommend Berroco Remix light for a summer tee. I finished one last month and I find it just right for this time of year. I love the “tweediness” of it. And it is so soft. Take good care of yourself until we “meet” again via YT!

Oh, getting unexpectedly stuck somewhere is maddening! I love the polo type sweater! I hope the color or shade difference doesn’t bother you too much. To me, it just looks like a tonal change. Almost intentional. Congratulations on the sample knit!

Do you always talk with your hands? Stop moving so much please!

Peep the bridal shower candle on the bookshelf 💗

Side note, my youngest child is also a 2000 baby. I'm a 1970 baby so still easy to keep up with age, but I always know the difference between she and I lol I always have to figure out the age of my oldest haha

I have two of the crochet books you shared. I use the Stitch Dictionary by Dora Orhenstein frequently when designing and alternating a pattern. I really find it helpful. I have the Janie Crowfoot book as well. It's a very nice reference!

Thank you for all the inspiration. Great round-up of patterns!

At 27:24 you show a tee and i dont understand the name 😢

Very pretty top 👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐UK

might be wrong but that big thing of unknown cotton looks a lot like knit picks memento in the colorway winterbloom! -- i was trying to get as much of it as i could for a project right as it was going out of stock and so i recognized it at a glance haha

What a great haul at that yarn store!

I think that’s a Weekender by Andrea Mowry? Great find. I love a thrifted hand knit or yarn 😍

Thank you! Super cute options ❤

Subscribed just a sec ago. I like how you described it. I do own a lot of patterns even though I knit like 1,5 year now. I don't have time I guess to knit it all and one pattern I decided to not knit as I found out after another project that this design will not fir my body as well. I hate knitting in panels, I knitted one cardigan like that and no more for sure. Wish you all best

Interesting idea for a video topic. I am now thinking of why I haven't knit from my purchased patterns. (I mostly buy books though.) As for the ribbed sweater, enlarged stitches when ribbing is a common problem. It comes from switching from a knit to a purl, and the extra yarn that switch involves. It made me think of a video by Suzanne Bryan, a Master Knitter: "Enlarged knit before a purl". She gives several ways to deal with this problem, which could also avoid hand pain. She has bunches of tips for making professional looking knits. But yeah, I did a lot of frogging of projects too my first few years of knitting so this is relatable.

Consider the frogged projects as learning opportunities. I have hundreds of patterns in my Ravelry library and haven’t made most of them. I sometimes put two (or more) patterns together, especially socks where I take the heel from one, the toe from another, and the sock design from a third. I’ve pretty much stopped knitting winter sweaters because the weather doesn’t get cold enough to wear them. BTW, even though alpaca feels soft, I find it scratchy on my skin. I couldn’t imagine wearing an alpaca bra!

Greetings from Austria! Alexandra

I found my pattern, although it was not included here. The one I thought I wanted to make didn't have the purchase option. The Allie Top by Line Pedersen and other patterns seem to not be sold on Ravelry at present. The one I did get is nice and I am grateful for your review here. Thank you.❤

Loved your choices and presentation style. Thank you!

Saved me a lot of time! Think I found my pattern! Thanks!

Once again you amaze me! Wow! I so enjoy your podcast and seeing what you come up with each week…especially your repurposed thrift items. I just know you are going to do something amazing with the pure silk from KFO. Keep ‘em comin’
