    Ooooh, I'm SO excited to see you tackle those bright red colors! That's going to be so much fun. Everything you made is stunning, I genuinely can't pick a favorite! I do really like your 1940's re-knit, and how the colors subtly shift throughout it.

    my favourite project: the "trick you into watching me knit a stockinette sweater" sweater! Because it makes me happy to see a not so successful piece remade into something more successful!!!!
    my 2024 plans (more like what's on my currect want to do list): do some alterations on thifted knitted pieces. There are so many more useful pieces that I want, but for know, I just want to see those beautiful pieces fit me the way I want, because I really want to wear them!!!!

    Good morning from Australia
    lovely informative video as always
    I do like your pattern choices, especially when you 'do your own thing' successfully.
    RE: Angora hat (fail). Some ideas: only frog the band below the indigo work, and use smaller needles/more frequent decreases to make the beret style fit you but be looser. The body of the hat is lovely.
    OR Hold the brim in hot water and shrink it back down.
    I really like the Giant's sweater. I enjoyed the whole process and he looked so impressive posing to show it off.
    Cheers for 2024

    I think my favorite of your projects from 2023 would have to be the marzipan pullover. I now want to make one myself. My 2024 plans involve spinning to knit my Fiance a hoodie out of a blend of Finn wool and a mystery fleece I got from the Australia sheep and wool show last year. I also want to knit myself an Orenburg lace shawl, and my first ever cardigan for myself, probably also out of handspun.

    My plans for 2024 are to make a double knitted scarf that matches the hat I made. I also want to finish the shawl I am knitting for my sister. And I want to finish the sweater for my daughter.
    I also want to do more spinning, so I at least want to spin something for my youngest kid with the wool I got in October.
    Oh yeah, I also want to weave something on my loom. I still haven't woven any of my handspun, so that's something I want to do too...
    Where I am going to find the time to do all this, I don't know. 😂

    First of all: may happiness and health be always with you and your loved ones in 2024!
    Crafting for mental health - I hear you. Just call it productive therapy. The side effects are so much more bearable (and wearable 😁) than with pharmaceutical choices! 😊
    I haven’t knitted as much as you did, but that is just because of my fulltime job. It always seems to interfere with my creative side. 😅

    Happy 2024! I really hope it's better for a lot of people than 2023 was.
    Regarding the alpaca - I think of alpaca in relation to Peru and I then think of those big jackets that were knitted in Peru and very fashionable back in the 1970s. So I'd suggest you find a 1970s pattern for the alpaca, strikes me as a nice confluence of concepts. I look forward to seeing your projects and chaos goblin shenanigans.
    My project plans: I'm working on a rather intricate colourwork hat at the moment, it's going to be part of a set but I'm going to need to order more wool before I can finish the set. (That wool is really bad, it's in all these colours and I look at them and use a little for this and a little for that and suddenly I need more.)
    A number of my projects will have to wait until my knee is back in working order and I can drive again, as I need some audio-visual-electronics related things. That leads me to the elf sock project. It began with a simple modification of a full-sized, adult sock pattern and I have written that out - and done most of the proof-reading corrections! But then there's going to be the colourwork version of the elf sock pattern, which is not yet written down and, indeed, not yet knitted. So that will need to be workshopped and written down (and I need some more wool, see above, that's where some of the wool went). When the patterns are written out correctly I want to publish them on Ravelry and also do an instructional video. The AV stuff is needed for the instructional video.
    Then I want to do a simple Introduction to Vintage Knitting, also as an instructional video, intended for people who have never done any vintage knitting and who may be a little unsure of how to get started.
    I've just finished spinning 382 yards of "natural medium" Corriedale (Ashford combed top), not quite sure what I'm going to do with that, but I also have a packet of the natural white and the natural light to spin, so I've got some time to think about it.
    As to what I will *_actually_* end up doing in with fibre and yarn in 2024 is anyone's guess. I was astonished to discover that I can buy zwartbles fleece in Australia. Maybe, when my knee lets me drive again, I will get some alum... there are some things in my garden that I think might create interesting natural dyes...

    Amazing work! Just beautiful, and it's impossible to pick a favorite from your collection! I can't wait to see what you make this year! I made 20 hand processed and spun projects in 2023. 18 were hats, scarves and neck warmers. I gave away 18 as Christmas gifts, and I let everyone pick out what they wanted which was so much fun watching what they chose! I also made myself a beautiful baby alpaca sweater that I took on an European vacation with me, and I also kept one super fuzzy baby alpaca scarf for myself. I'm off and running in 2024, and almost finished with a scarf for next year's Christmas gift pile.

    It might be because my comment had a link in it. I wanted to suggest a 1950s pattern to you that i think you would enjoy in your handspun and that would look spectacular IMO. The same idea was also reused in the 1980s by Patricia Roberts in her Spectrum pattern, but i like the 1950s one better.
