No way! I designed and made a jumper for a toddler took about 7 days to complete. I struggled to get £36.00 …… Customer thought I was ripping them off. It would have been expensive wool, but I got it cheap ….. but that’s not point really.

This is really helpful! Maybe the cost would be lower if it was possible to buy supplies at lower rate, as a business owner, but the cost of labor is still a lot for people! If someone doesn't understand the cost, it might be helpful to ask them how many hours of their labour would they do for free or lesser pay.

Love your cable sweater and the cardigan you are working on. You mentioned the yarn; Falkland handspun? what is the fiber? I have learned that lots of acrylic yarn looks like wool or cotton, but it pillls a lot! Love those socks too! I like to crochet too!

Gorgeous!

Loved it! I cannot count the times I have been asked to sew, knit or mend something and the person is completely clueless about the length of time or the cost of materials to produce the article (usually clothing in my case). Next they say, "You should go into business you will be rich". Really, really??? Did they even think before they spoke? I make about $30 per hour plus benefits and I am going to school to become and Attorney who will be making more than that. Please tell me why, "you" think I would be wealthy making $25 or less without ANY benefits at all, knitting or sewing something for "you". SMH

The song of me and my crush

Hiya :) This has been really interesting to think about. Personally I also find it so interesting in the context of "what is my skill worth" and how am I spending my time. I feel like with knitting, crochet etc. non-crafters tend to find it sort of cutesy and it diminishes the SKILL and ART and everything that we know after having practised this craft for 5, 10, maybe more years. Like yes, I can probably knit someone a pair of socks in a week or two, but that's also because I have spent 9 years perfecting my sock-knitting skills. Ultimately for me, this thought exercise has helped me rethink my hobby and what it's worth to me as well, no matter how people tend to somehow diminish it ("you know you could just BUY a sweater and it'd be cheaper", "oh I don't have time to knit in my busy life" etc.)

Beautiful FOs and your new wall color is really a lovely accent! I am glad you travelled safely. Thanks for the podcast recommendation, I am very curious to listen to it!! ❤

I think you should consider adding on a percentage of the cost of your tools - things wear out and need replacing!

People think they are doing you a favour when they ask you to hand make something for them. It can feel pretty insulting but they honestly have no idea of the time it takes to make things or the time it took for you to become skilled. And they are easily offended if they feel like you are saying that they can't afford the item. I used to have a bespoke cake business and customers are the worst lol.

Lovely sweater! And really like the wall.

Nice I've always wanted to try ripple effect in a crochet project of mine but can't find

The wall and your sweater are gorgeous. I haven't listened to the podcast you mentioned but I'm not sure about the moral conundrum. My nephew has Aspergers and has never cyber stalked anyone. People on the mild end of the autism spectrum can learn and understand social cues for "appropriate" human interaction. Casually mentioning that this criminal has Apergers in this way isn't supportive and understanding of autism, it's damaging.

Gorgeous sweater! It looks great on you!

I love your new accent wall! In this video, it looks like a deep blue... Beautiful makes! And I can't wait to see the blanket grow- happy new year to you!

It’s the same way just different pants

Re: dying yarn I found out that I was allergic to indigo midway through dying my hair so I feel your pain, as an alternative option you can try packages of kool aid, someone did a bunch of test swatches on their blog once but wool takes the dye in the drink pretty readily, if you like one of the colors available that might be an option. Dropped into a hot microwaved dish of yarn + water I was able to get a cloudy gradient with red.

UPDATE: I talk about the book Under the Banner of Heaven in this podcast. However, I have since discovered that there is a disturbingly graphic description of 2 murders in the book. Normally I am not that sensitive to things of that nature but even I found it very unsettling. I cannot recommend this book to anybody for that reason. I apologize for mentioning the book before I finished it!

Por que lo que quiero no lo puedo tener 😢😢😢

Thank you for the introduction video. Your husband’s cabled sweater is gorgeous, I hope he gets to wear it at some point! I am very excited to see anything else you knit!

In my experience spinners always have at least two wheels because the first one is usually a lower cost option. A gateway wheel, if you will.

Your spinning is beautiful! I've been struggling with my spinning mojo this year too, and I'd really like to get back to spinning regularly. I'd love to do a sweater spin too! Maybe in 2023. When you did your sweater spin, did you spin all the singles first, and then ply them? Or did you do some singles, ply them, then do more singles, ply them, etc?

It was fun to be knitting some socks while watching this video. Seemed appropriate! I absolutely love your sweater. The color is beautiful, and I think you should definitely wear more of it! Sorry to hear about your health issues. Hoping you can take your mind off of it with your creative crafts.

I'm a huge fan of an Eye of Partridge heel flap! I did a darning workshop with Tom of Holland at Edinburgh Yarn Festival in 2019 and he says they're the most hardwearing. I just love how pretty they look!

I think the blue sweater is such a pretty color. Thanks for sharing the recs. I hadn't heard of the Dan Levy show yet. Off to check it out!

I love the colour of your sweater. It's not muppety at all.

Hello! I just found your channel. I have had a growing interest in learning how to knit.

Socks were always my go to travel project, not that I've travelled anywhere in the past 3 years. I like the St. Patrick or Two Hearts sweaters. I confess I've never been a fan of the Henley style, but it seems very popular again and I like the delicate stripes on the example you showed.

Ooo, those cabled sweaters are gorgeous! I think Staghorn is my favorite.

I love your Balloon Sleeve Sweater, the colour is lovely and not at all Grover-like! I think any of those Aran sweaters would look great on you. I have no experience of knitting those particular patterns, but I have knitted Aran sweaters in the past. They are so much fun! As for travel knitting - it's always the first thing I think of and pack when we're getting ready to go away. I always pack far too many projects, but I reckon it's better to have too many than knit everything and then run out. Horrors!

I hadn't heard of Hudson + West Co yet either, so thanks for sharing! Their patterns are gorgeous! I crochet a lot of blankets, and really like both Lion Brand Wool Ease and Plymouth Encore yarns. They are both only about 20-25% wool though, and the rest is acrylic.

Somehow I’ve missed that you started this channel. Luckily when I was on Instagram this morning, I saw your announcement about this video. I am so glad to see you started this channel. I always love your sewing content and I have been into knitting again lately so I am excited to join you here also.

I just finished 'the patient' on hulu and it left me depressed and sad. So, now I am watching a LOT of knitting (and sewing) videos.

Hooked by Robin here on RUclips is a great channel that has lots of crochet blanket inspiration. I'm knitting sock 2 of a pair of self drafted socks and contemplating frogging a cabled sweater that I never quite finished. I have the front and back and both sleeves are knit to the elbow but it's a little small now and I can't find the cable pattern anywhere. I have so many hours invested in it that it's painful to actually start taking it apart even though it's been in my ufo pile for a couple years. 😜

Wow your such an amazing knitter! Your socks are beautiful and I am so looking forward to seeing how your sweater looks. I look forward to your next video.

That blue sweater is going to be gorgeous! I tried to knit a pair of socks in black yarn some years ago. I managed to finish them, but I could only knit them in daylight, sitting next to a window! 😆

Lovely to see you've started a channel devoted to your knitting!

Congratulations on your new channel. I watch all your sewing on your other channel. I love to knit too, but I make so many mistakes and it’s so hard to fix them that I tend to lean toward crochet. Although there’s nothing like knitting! I also have a spinning wheel and drum carder. I recently bought 4 fleeces that I’m working on right now. It’s all so much fun!

Yay! Enjoyed listening to your podcast :)
