    Hi Alex! Such a lovely podcast as usual. Your things - finished - in progress - knitted - sewn - are all so beautiful!! I'm working on a Corran cardigan as well. I'm using The Fibre Co Luma yarn in the color grenadine. I've really enjoyed making this pattern. It was so good to catch up with you. :)

    • @AlexCollinsDesigns

      I think Luma is a great choice for your Corran Cardigan. It's a fun stitch pattern isn't it. Thanks for watching and for your kind words about my projects 🥰

    So happy to watch this episode! I've been tucking your lovely lavender sachets into my knit gifts and it adds a really nice touch. I'm taking my first spinning class in a few weeks and really like seeing and hearing about your spinning journey.

      What a lovely idea to add the lavender sachets to your gift knits 💗 I hope you have fun at the spinning class. It's great when you can learn in person. Thanks for watching!

    My projects are all in your lovely bags! Currently working on the Cornish Thrift Shawl using The Knitting Shed yarn learning a lovely new stitch. X💕

    I don’t wear my weekender either. I realized I don’t like boat necks on me.

    • @AlexCollinsDesigns
      @AlexCollinsDesigns  Год назад

      It's not a very comfortable style to wear is it. It's a shame as it does look great on so many people.

    hello - i do like the color of your weekender, but understand that you don't...harking back to cascade 220 - i knit my weekend in it and found that it is pilling horribly - hope you don't run into that with your lacy cardi. your spinning is fab! love all your colors. i like to hear about spinning, but don't think i'll give it a go. i'm over here in the states, in utah, and just started The Trouville sweater - have a look at the fab colors! thanks for the video - cheers from libby in utah

      Hey Libby, thanks for watching! The Trouville sweater looks like such a fun knit. I think I'll be looking to knit another colour work sweater when I have finished the summer knits I have planned so this might be a contender! Thanks for the warning about the pills. It's held up after some ripping back this weeking 😆

    New to your channel. I love all the crafty hobbies you are doing! I’m a new sewer and a new knitter. Is there a place like Ravelry for sewing? How do you find your patterns?

    • @AlexCollinsDesigns
      @AlexCollinsDesigns  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Alayna, It's lovely to hear you are enjoying my channel. It's not quite the same as Ravelry but The Fold Line has a huge selection of patterns listed with reviews thefoldline.com/sewing-pattern-reviews/ There is also The Fold Line RUclips channel which you might like for finding new patterns. I also search Pinterest for sewing patterns. Have a great weekend 💗

      @@AlexCollinsDesigns excellent! Thank you so much!

    Sadly I think a reason that many people do not mention or use cascade yarns is the way they communicated with other fiber people over the time and how they run their business.

    • @AlexCollinsDesigns
      @AlexCollinsDesigns  Год назад +1

      Ahh, I wondered if there was something I'd missed. It seemed strange not to see many projects with the yarn used in the pattern as usually the opposite is true! Thanks for watching Maria. Have a great week 💗
