    Beautiful cardigan. Over the years I have put so many things “in a safe place”, never to be seen again. Just think of how exciting it will be to find all our treasures when we remember where the safe place is.

    Your cardi is lovely Kate. I laughed at your pearls of wisdom. If I want a cardigan that buttons up I'll wear a jumper. Can everyone sitting on the lime green sofa please stand up and search under their cushion for Kates buttons.

    This video has inspired me to dig out a cardigan that my Mom has made 40 years ago for herself. She has been gone for 30 years now. She was so proud of it, but at the time I didn't give her the credit she deserved.

    So funny, that's how Arne makes his yarn balls from a skein. I never saw that method until a few days ago on their channel. Im knitting a dog sweater for my new puppy for winter. ❤

    Both my grandmas were knitters. My dad's mum taught me how to knit and crochet . She lived with us and my job was to either hold the skeins of yarn( bought at our local mill) so she could make a ball of wool, later on it was my job to roll a skein into a ball by dropping the skein over the back of an armchair. It took a while to learn to make a nice even ball. I still have most of her old knitting needles and old crochet hooks, along with a lot if old fancy looking buttons, especially the mother of pearl buttons. Wish I would be able to go to a mill to select yarn. However I am able to buy directly on line, but it is not the same. I like to touch and feel.

    Hello Kate and Anna (if you are filming). I love all the colors in the yarn. It's quite beautiful. I love seeing cat Rita squeezed into her little box for a nice nap. Your cardigan turned out fabulously. Lovely job! ❤ Have a great weekend. Take care.

    Kate it’s so you. It looks fantastic. I hope the buttons reveal themselves soon because buttons are my favorite thing about cardigans. I have plenty enough spun wool for two cardigans. I haven’t found the right series though. I too am remarkably produce when I combine TV and knitting. Huge hugs!

    Nice to sit in the sun and knit. I always knit both sleeves at the same time, it allows any shaping of the sleeves to be done simultaneously ( no having to try to remember what you did previously) and when youre done with them, youre done.
    Btw, i think thats called an italian bind off, also i love the yarn youre using.
