thank you for your very interesting videos on knitting and choosing Patterns. I am from France even if I sometimes have difficulty translating😂

Gah…. The Norah Gaughan piece is just artwork! What a beautiful piece . Thank you for the “knit-spiration “. So enjoy this!

I agree with all of your points. Speedy knitters may sound appealing , when one is first starting, but you mentioned a great observation… where on earth would one store all of those items. I may be rather fast but I often get asked and even pressured to answer how long ( exact hours) did it take to make an item . To me , knitting is about being intentional and slowing down. I am not a machine, and it’s perfectly okay to take my time .

Great episode. I was watching a podcast Clare Likes to Knit. She is based in Brisbane and was showing her sweaters that she has knit from Norah Gaughan and has the one that you mentioned.

I'm not sure what app you use to print your patterns, or if you pull them up as a .pdf, most printers should give you several options to reformat and custom scale to print something that is legible.

I love your podcasts. Your honesty is refreshing. I totally agree about the formatting and I’m going to look at the pattern selection of Moreca Knit has as the layout of her patterns look great.

A great video as always, I've not added anything to my to-do list but it's given me some interesting thoughts. (Especially around those cardigans... Somehow I got interested in buttons recently and it may very well turn out that I will be looking out for a project and colors to suit buttons instead of the other way around.) I've made the Amy slipover. I used totally not the recommended yarn, my yarn was mostly merino with silk and cashmere added and it was 1500 m in 100 g so I held it triple. I think I got gauge, at least stitch wise. I love this piece but I would never attempt to wear it without some lighter garment underneath. It is very open at the sides. Like, I don't want to show what this would show as I move around or as the wind is blowing sideways to me. I guess this depends on fit and fabric but, eh... nope. For me this is strictly a piece that I wear over something.

Great selection!

Frog it and make a smaller size! (Imo)❤

I’ve just recently started knitting but when I got back into crochet a few years ago my husband bought me an expensive project bag with wheels and handle etc. very flimsy though. Then recently he brought home a tool bag similar sized with wheels and collapsible handle but it is sturdy and more pockets. I gave my old bag away as I prefer the tool bag. Recently I discovered mop buckets work great. They are good yarn bowls and you can throw your wip on top.

Hi, I think your Claire vest would be really cute with jeans and a white tee. Sort of 90s retro. I want to make it too, and I've always had the intention of wearing it over an outfit. Hope this helps.

Thank you Michelle for such beautiful selection. As others, my favourites list is growing thanks to you... and some of your suggestions will go directly to the top, for sure... Thanks for presenting all these patterns without 'turning around the pot' as we say in French... straight, essential info and that's it.

I’ve seen the Claire Vest on my Instagram feed a lot and mostly it’s worn by younger fashion forward women whose chestical area has not yet given into gravity 😃 I would use the yarn for something wit more wearability. I find that if I have to try hard to make it work, it’s not worth it 🤓 Edit: I’m a graphic designer and I looove a good layout 🙌🏻 EU is A4, but you can reduce margin settings on your printer for better readability.

Hey listen to your gut, frog it! The armhole is huge on the first one and yes these designers just assume too much from people like me who are just starting back again at 67 to knit, I need the space, the hand holding etc. Love your vids, and the comments at the end - ya it could all be different tomorrow LIVE FOR TODAY.

I think someone just made the stag head into a pillow. I don't think there's a pattern for it per se. (But it wouldn't be hard to do.)

Hi Michelle. I absolutely love the November Oak by Jennifer Brou! I've gptta gp to sleep, so I'll watch the rest of the podcast later. Thanks!

i love my amy slipover, it was a slog to knit at times but i really love it. i made a second at a larger gauge as well.

I have been dying to make the stag head sweater! I have the perfect red warn just waiting for it 🦌

Hi there ! Just wanted to say thanks for all these great patterns you're sharing with us. I already knitted the ridge in the summer based on your recommendations and will defo choose one of this list for the fall season!

I have a love hate relationship with this podcast … you have just added 4 patterns to my queue … this is terrible … Thanks for finding these treasures. I had loved your Japanese selection :)

I'm currently knitting the Manon Cardigan and I'm absolutely in love with the pattern and the fit of it, making long sleeves though. Also planning on knitting the Helia and the Beatrix Cardigan this fall. Already got the wool and am looking forward to having those in my wardrobe. Great video as always.

Nice selection of patterns!! My hometown is Nyack ny. (Across the river). There’s a great LYS there called Knitting Nation. I highly recommend it. ! Great selection of yarn!

You list looks so similar to mines, and includes some of the same exact patterns!

You pick the best patterns! Beautiful taste.

Love the bundle. So tented by Helia 🩶🤍

I enjoy your podcasts so much. Easy vibe, lovely voice, calm and kind approach. Thank you!

Wow! More patterns to add to my ever growing list of Favorites/To Do! Some were already on my radar, like the Stag, the Letho, the Amy, but others I had never heard about and I'm looking forward to dive into these designer's pattern pages to see what they have to offer. When you mentioned making the November Oak with a gradient yarn as the background, I had images of the "Alaska" in my mind. That would really rock ! I went to a knitting/crafting event last weekend that was held outside in an apple orchard (Pomme de Laine) and it was cold, windy, cloudy and glorious! It was everything a knitter wants to feel to get into "sweater weather" vibe. I ended up buying a sweater quantity of Carpe Diem's Nueva to make the Whitmoor cardigan and/or pullover (not sure yet which) and I can already envision it taking form. My fingers are itching. As I'm watching your podcast, I'm finishing the first sleeve on the Wilfreda pullover with some gorgeous rustic natural color DK yarn by Les Brebis du Beaurivage and I just can't put it down. Soooo looking forward to wearing it this fall. I think we are privileged to live in an area - I live in Laval, Québec - where there are four seasons . As soon as we get tired of one, another one comes along! And we can make all the lovely patterns we covet and they will be appropriate for at least part of the year. Yé! Thank you for including those socks in your podcast, event though you won't go there. The Maple Leaf ones really spoke to me (I'm from Canada, eh?) and I have just the yarn to make these leaves with! Looking forward to hearing/seeing more of you in the near future

Great roundup! I knit the harris hood for my MIL last year and she loves it, I’ve been meaning to make one for myself too (it’s a fast knit, mine was done in a few days)

great selection of patterns. The Stag Head pullover is on my mind for a few weeks already, I think its a piece of art. And also I want to knit Manon Cardigan for my mom, but waititng to see a few more finished objects from other people. Nice video as usually, thank you 🧡

I love how your tee can out. I too want to do the Letho cardigan as well as the Amy Slipover. Seeing the garment motivates me to make one!! All of your selections are just one of many reasons why I like your channel! If only I had😊 more time to knit.

Beautiful patterns, i love it

100% in agreement with all your points. What a sensible young lady you are.

Thank you Michelle ! I knitted the hoodie, i love it, i feel so warm in it ;)

I really like your list, I actually have very similar style. I have Helia on my needles for a while, I have to finish it this season, cause it's just stunning. And I'm making it in a raspberry tweedy yarn. The stag head pullover is in my favourites for a looong time now and I absolutely love it. I hope I can start it this year.

I love all the patterns you showed ❤ the amy slipover is very high on my list as well and i am going to order yarn for it on sunday 😍 super excited already!!!

Love your choices. Not that I need inspiration my que is long. But finally some interesting stuff. My Bella cardigan is ready to cast on in a Bordeaux red alpaca yarn. But first I need to finish stuff. Have a great day

What great pattern, the November oak ist beautiful and the Helia too. Thank you

Ive had the Stag Head pullover in my favorites for a whiiile and you're not making putting off knitting it easy for me! Lol. I have a The Witching Hour sweater by Hannah Mann/Dear Ingenue, on the needles right now, which is a raven skull colorwork pattern, so really, me saying i don't have a "fall knit" would be a blatant lie. But maybe next year!! Thanks for the video, I've been loving your channel, and particularly the "pattern roundup" videos! You have a style that i find very intriguing and point out patterns i would often overlook/not see the appeal of on my own.

These are great patterns. 🧶 Love the color of your Lakes Pullover! ❤️

Before you make a decision of undoing the first garment (white speckled vest) knit around the arm trim according to the pattern and it should bring it up more and make it fitting better.

A great roundup, Michelle. I already have of couple in my Ravelry Favorites list, but with your suggestions I will soon be adding more. I really appreciate your concise and informative narrative, and I always look forward to your next visit.

I found my one pair of knitting needles US 6. So this round up hit just at the right time.

You’ve got some great patterns on the go right now! I had Moonset Tee in my Favorites but I think I may bump that into my sooner queue having seen yours. I’ve also been eyeing the Cardic Cocoon but I think I need to be in the right headspace to tackle that one. I love all the neutrals you’re working with - those will be great wardrobe additions.

I love your channel - I love your honesty! You’re knits are lovely. You know, I think that the vest you think is too big with the armholes and the low V could be worn really cute with a white.Tee . Just my opinion--I had made a lot of V-neck items in my 40s - - and in my 50s I had a open heart surgery so my large incision I don’t like to bare… but with the white tea and my V-neck items, it works for me. Thank you so much for today. I will be back to watch more.

I think you can do a major difference on the Claire vest with the icord edgings so I think you could try finishing an armhole with the icord and see if you can get it smaller. And your plan to wet block the Cardi Cocoon before moving further is probably a good idea because it does look a bit small. I took mine from the closet to measure it and the shoulder seam is about 30 cm which is almost 12 inches. Silk is very slippery and it usually grows in blocking and in use.

Do you feel like lamana como grande is worth the price? Its the yarn I really want to try but its quite expensive. Also I wpuld like to knit my moby in it!

I print my patterns too and Yes! Formatting is important to me. If I can't find my way through the pattern I'm probably not going to enjoy working through it either. Glad I'm not alone in that. Great podcast, wips look fantastic!

I wear a cami under my vacation vest. Still mostly get the vest only look, but I don't worry about being too exposed

Love your honest assessment of patterns, how they are written, how they are formatted and whether you are getting the result you intended. Also enjoy your straightforward critiques of yarns. This level of discussion sets you apart from other knitting podcasts and I appreciate it! It makes me wonder if you use these talents in your career also.

I am a fan of size 5-9 US. I am not a socks knitter, so I don't need the super small. Also, big fan of Ravelry. It is my database. I track everything...yarn, pattern, dates started and finished. Add photos and that's enough for me.
