Hey all- the comment the following was in response to has since been deleted (NOT by me) but I wanted to keep this up: Hey! Discussed this in an earlier comment. You are totally right, it was lazy of me to not look up pronunciations (of designer names) and I will be doing so moving forward! With a video involving this many patterns I was overwhelmed and this was a corner I cut and that's not okay. It was absolutely not my intention to dismiss anyone's name but I totally understand how it seems that way and I am really sorry. I worry a lot that mispronouncing someone's name is more disrespectful than trying and failing to pronounce, but you guys have helped me see that the effort is what's most important. Moving forward I will be using an IPA chart to sound out any names I have trouble with and giving it my best effort. I genuinely appreciate your feedback and again I sincerely apologize for making anyone feel dismissed, that is NEVER how I want ANYONE to feel on my channel.
This is the best and you’re so fun to watch. Thanks for putting this together! I’m getting back into knitting and this is super inspiring. Also, I love neutrals so never apologize for balancing out all the color.
Thanks for a great video! Loved your commitment to fall patterns haha. My only comment is that I encourage you to give pronouncing names a try - especially as some of them were super easy and it's important to go that extra step. If we can easily pronounce complex traditionally western names then phonetically sounding out non-western names to at least give it a try is worth the extra effort to be respectful to the designers. Just a thought for next time :) But love your content and keep up the great stuff!
Thank you so much for being so respectfully constructive about this!! I totally agree. I was worried that mispronouncing might be more disrespectful, but I think you’re right, putting in the effort is more important than being perfect. Definitely going to take this to heart and thanks again for being so kind 🫶
Hello again, i left a nice comment this morning because that is what i do. I had watched about 10 mins and left a nice comment. HOWEVER, i am now half way through your video and feel COMPELLED to thank you. this video is amazing. I have added at least 10 sweaters to my Q and i cant believe how many things you are showing that i have NEVER SEEN! I watch a lot of podcasts and you have done an outstanding job. I have had a quick look at a number of them that made my q and you are right - they are little known designers. Good for you for giving them some airtime. I am sending your video to my friends. I hope thousands watch it and you get heaps of whatever you get from youtube. You certainly earned it. :) jacqui
This is terrific! All the hard work you put into this, wow! Thank you! I am relieved you admitted you can’t pronunciate many of the designer names. I am like that too, it is so hard, and where do we even begin to learn to say their names??? This is my first time hearing your podcast and I am now subscribed. Thank you so much for an informative podcast ❤
I wanted to say thank you for your hard work and time in making this video❤❤❤.I started knitting my fall wardrobe late July.I knit a red sweater inspired by red craze.Currently knitting a pink drop shoulder and a gray cable knit cardigan.I need to make some accessories😅.
You’re so kind, thank you 😭🫶 your plans sound amazing!! SO smart to start fall projects in the summer, you’ll have so much time to actually wear them!! If you want a simple and quick little accessory maybe try Tamara Jordan’s double knit headband! She has a tutorial on her channel! I’ve made a few and they work up SO fast and are perfect for leftover yarn scraps. And they look absolutely darling with a matching cardigan or sweater 💕💕
this video is a lifesaver THANK YOU. also yes the eyelets in the ingrid arent to my taste either, knitted the mens ver and even tho theres no shortrow shaping on the arm/shoulder like the womens ver i adore it.
Maddie, you are so cute and even though I am way older than you are and some of the designs would not look so good on this ancient body, I will still watch you faithfully! I did absolutely love that segment when you went to the fiber show! ❤
I love how in every one of your round up videos there’s a pattern that makes me go “That’s it! That’s the pattern I’ve been looking for!” I swear I scour ravelry, but you always find ✨the one✨ (This time it’s basically all the patterns from Iris H)
You make such awesome inspo videos! This one has helped me hone in on the few I can realistically make this fall! Oh, and you absolutely should have some neutral colors! Those of us who are too scared to play with color are jealous of how comfortable you are with it, but neutral staples do have their place!
Thank you for the validation on my neutrals journey 🫡 as much as I love color I do fear there are some gaps in my wardrobe I’m wanting to fill with some more timeless pieces
ayo fellow seattle knitter/black cat owner/reader! thank you to the youtube gods for recommending me your video lol. also i test knitted the Elara Cardigan and it does have instructions for buttons! you can see the button holes barely in the photo lol
Although i love that you want to focus on smaller creators for the most part I think it's unnecessary to apologise every time you bring up a petite knit pattern. There is a reason her patterns are so popular; they're clear, pretty and timeless. It's okay to mention them, especially when you highlight smaller creators as well 😊
I just finished my braidy loops! Highly recommend! She includes diagrams which were super helpful to me because I've never knit a saddle shoulder before. Once you get the general gist it's not hard at all, I love how mine came out. I really want to make the cardigan version too but oh girl I don't want to do that much purling
Love this video! Cannot wait for fall. Sidenote: I would suggest Camilla Vad's patterns only to those who do not mind mistakes. I've made the Magnolia bloom and the field slipover myself and both patterns contain spelling or number mistakes. Now, I also have the field sweater pattern but I won't be making it anytime soon because the mistakes bother me a lot. So if the mistakes don't bother anyone else, go for it! If it would bother you, maybe save your money my knitting friends (the designer has been contacted several times by many people but refuses to acknowledge the issues with the patterns)
That is so disappointing to hear ☹️ thanks for sharing your experience! That definitely changes how I feel about the pattern (which is so sad because that stitch pattern is so beautiful)
@thatswhatskeinsaid it is a lovely stitch pattern and I really wish the designer would take the feedback and change things. But unfortunately that is not the case 😢 I just wanted to let people know just in case they wanted to buy them. Because I bought the patterns during a sale and when I started working on them I noticed the comments everywhere about the translation, writing and number mistakes
I personaly dislike those comments on pronouncing the designers names. You did a great job with your bundle, the desigs are easy to find on ravelry and you made a recommendation. That is very nice for the designers and also a form of advertising. And it is very nice for us, if we like a pattern, we can immediately put it into our favourites. Pronouncing unknown and difficult names is no sign of respect. I am sure, all the designers are happy to be mentioned and highly recommended here. Sign of respect is to show us the special designs and why they are knitworthy. If somebody needs a language school, I think a knitting podcast is not the right way to achieve.
Exactly. Nobody can pronounce all the names from different languages/backgrounds and why would it even be important. I think it‘s more important to write it correctly, that should be foolproof and then everybody can look up their names and find their designs anyway.
used this video to finish binding off the baggilion stitches on the body of my mustard yellow maggie cardi. i think ill post it once the second sleeve is done 😮💨
I also am normally a color girlie but LOVE the look of a textured sweater in a neutral, I am working on the Salty Days in cream rn and am obsessed! Also what are the details on the yarn for your Star Crossed Prep School Pullover? I love it!!
All the Salty Days sweaters I’m seeing right now are making me realllyyyyy want a textured knit on my needles ASAP!! The yarn is Wool and the Gang “feelin good” in one of their self striping colorways! “Woodland marl stripe” 🌲🐇
It’s the Prep School Pullover by Starcrossed Knits! I used Wool and the Gang Feelin Good self striping edition yarn in “woodland marl” 🩷 I can’t recommend this pattern enough! It’s one of my favorite knits of last year :)
That was such a fun video. Sorry about your poltergeist. I’ll be trying those Lodge socks by Ozetta. I’m currently reading My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Demaurier and loving it.
I forgot about the ghost segment of this video and thought you were referring to Ivy (my cat) as a poltergeist and I was legitimately like “it is hard but I do love her” Also omg my cousin Rachel has been on my TBR forever, this might be the push I’ve needed to find it on Libby
Thoughts on wrap sweaters. Almost every maker is not happy with the wrap. The struggles I am hearing; how to fasten the wrap. It is saggy, it is bulky, it adds thickness at the tummy area. The version you have shown solves most of these problems.
I made the Aviva Wrap by Jamie Creates and honestly love it! Very similar to the one shown and also doesn’t have any of the common issues you mentioned!! It’s another great option
Not sure if I missed it but did you mention what you're wearing? Love this fall bundle! Also appreciate that you'll be looking up pronunciations moving forward. I'm a new viewer and I really appreciate that! Got a subscribe from me!
I adore your personality. You are so much fun to watch. I’ve watched another one of your videos and the only reason I didn’t subscribe (and still hesitate) is because your videos have waaaay too many ad breaks. I feel like I watch for a couple of minutes and just when I’m relaxing into your chat, I have to stop knitting to skip another ad. Maybe this is something you can look into and maybe cut back on? I’d be a subscriber and dedicated watcher if you did. Thanks for sharing your pattern round-up. 😊
Oh weird! I believe the ads are set by RUclips. The only thing I’ve ever done ad wise is turn monetization on, it never gave me the option to choose the amount of ads. I’ll look into it!
From what I understood, recently RUclips has been experimenting with different adds in different countries. I’m regularly in a livestream, and some people get so many add breaks. And others don’t.. it’s not something that creators themselves can regulate. It used to be like that! But isn’t anymore
With that particular example I saw the name Liv and gave it a shot knowing I likely had the first part correct at least. I genuinely thought it would be more disrespectful to completely butcher someone’s name. Not that this is anyone’s business but I do have dyslexia, so yeah it does take a fair amount of effort for me to read! Thanks for asking!
Girl, what kind of community are you part of?! I’m seven minutes in and you’ve asked us not to get mad at your hair, not to get mad because you threw a couple PetiteKnit patterns in there, and not to get mad at how you pronounced “Matisse”. I’m not out to get ya 😳
Oh, as a foreigner living in the US, I prefer people not pronouncing my name than pronouncing it and totally destroying it. But, at the end of the day, I really don’t care. Both sets of people tried to do what they thought was most respectful and I appreciate it. Now I definitely understand what community you’re part of and it does explain your constant asking for people not to get mad at you. They are so toxic. I’m sorry. Thank you for the having the self awareness of being unable to pronounce a name and politely refuse to do it. Please continue to do what YOU think is best. Hugs
I literally almost responded to this with “I’m sorry!!” Hahahahaha I have really bad anxiety if that wasn’t completely obvious lol but people like you reminding me that I don’t need to apologize all the time genuinely do help!!! Also once someone did comment that they found my bangs “irritating” so the hair thing was unfortunately not entirely unfounded lolllll
Hi Maddie, thanks for curating these beautiful patterns, I appreciate the effort you put into this video. One suggestion is that please try and prounce people's names when showcasing their work next time. It is a form of recogination and credit giving, so it should not be taken away just because those names look different. Attempt it, say it badly, even that is already way better than not saying it. Women as creators and makers have long been made nameless, erased and anonymous throughout history. Please make efforts to not do that to female creators again.
Hey all- the comment the following was in response to has since been deleted (NOT by me) but I wanted to keep this up:

You do not have to excuse or apologize here. You did a great job for us and the designers.
This is the best and you’re so fun to watch. Thanks for putting this together! I’m getting back into knitting and this is super inspiring. Also, I love neutrals so never apologize for balancing out all the color.

Can I knit? Not at all. Am I strictly a crochet accessory girlie? Absolutely. Did I still watch every moment? You bet.
This is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me
Big work, thank you for your video
This is terrific! All the hard work you put into this, wow! Thank you! I am relieved you admitted you can’t pronunciate many of the designer names. I am like that too, it is so hard, and where do we even begin to learn to say their names???
This is my first time hearing your podcast and I am now subscribed. Thank you so much for an informative podcast ❤
thank you for showcasing all these stunning patterns, cant wait to check out some of these pattern designers and cast on some projects !!! :D
This is the first video I’m watching of yours, you crack me up!!! I have to watch again to put some of these in my favs.
You had me at crazy cats pullover
Omg such a great podcast. So much detail. Big thanks! 😊

The best time to wear a striped sweater is definitely all the time! 😂❤
this video is a lifesaver THANK YOU. also yes the eyelets in the ingrid arent to my taste either, knitted the mens ver and even tho theres no shortrow shaping on the arm/shoulder like the womens ver i adore it.
Nice video, the cozy autumn socks are on my list now.
I started the Senhøst sweater by kari hestnes for this fall.
Yay! I’m so glad you found a new pattern for your fall list!!! Just looked up the Senhøst, such a beautiful and timeless sweater!! 🧡🍂
Yesss Maddie is back!!!! :3
Got so obsessed with the Polly cardi you were wearing in the Flock video, I'm currently working on one
Omg I need to see it when it’s done!!!!
Maddie, you are so cute and even though I am way older than you are and some of the designs would not look so good on this ancient body, I will still watch you faithfully! I did absolutely love that segment when you went to the fiber show! ❤
Age is quite literally just a number!!! Knit whatever you like!!! I’m sure you would rock absolutely anything 💕💕💕
Such a great collection! Also as an art history major, you nailed the pronunciation of Matisse.
So slay, thank you for the validation lol
I appreciate the speed that you went through the patterns. 😅
Simply no other way to fit this many patterns in lolllll
I love how in every one of your round up videos there’s a pattern that makes me go “That’s it! That’s the pattern I’ve been looking for!” I swear I scour ravelry, but you always find ✨the one✨
(This time it’s basically all the patterns from Iris H)
Yay!!!! This is so encouraging to hear because these videos are a beast to produce lol
You make such awesome inspo videos! This one has helped me hone in on the few I can realistically make this fall!
Oh, and you absolutely should have some neutral colors! Those of us who are too scared to play with color are jealous of how comfortable you are with it, but neutral staples do have their place!

ayo fellow seattle knitter/black cat owner/reader! thank you to the youtube gods for recommending me your video lol. also i test knitted the Elara Cardigan and it does have instructions for buttons! you can see the button holes barely in the photo lol
Hello fellow Seattleite/black cat owner/ reader 🫡 the buttons on the elara is major news!! Def makes me want to cast it on!!!
Although i love that you want to focus on smaller creators for the most part I think it's unnecessary to apologise every time you bring up a petite knit pattern. There is a reason her patterns are so popular; they're clear, pretty and timeless. It's okay to mention them, especially when you highlight smaller creators as well 😊
I am a chronic over apologizer!!! Thank you for saying this though, the reassurance definitely helps 🫶
Great fun, thank you 🤗
Thanks for all of this. And just a warning here, once you knit your first shawl, you'll be hooked.
I just finished my braidy loops! Highly recommend! She includes diagrams which were super helpful to me because I've never knit a saddle shoulder before. Once you get the general gist it's not hard at all, I love how mine came out. I really want to make the cardigan version too but oh girl I don't want to do that much purling
Love! I’ve never done an other loops pattern so this is super helpful info
Love this video! Cannot wait for fall.

Came for the knits inspo and left with a book recommendation
PLEASE read Rebecca, it’s so good
I love this video 🍁🍁🍁
used this video to finish binding off the baggilion stitches on the body of my mustard yellow maggie cardi. i think ill post it once the second sleeve is done 😮💨
Omg NEED to see

You could always embroider leaves on the Giverney blouse instead of flowers and in a fall colour it would be gorgeous
This is brilliant
Not sure if I missed it but did you mention what you're wearing? Love this fall bundle! Also appreciate that you'll be looking up pronunciations moving forward. I'm a new viewer and I really appreciate that! Got a subscribe from me!
This sweater is the Prep School Pullover by Star-crossed Knits, made with Wool and the Gang feelin good self striping edition in “woodland marl”🩷🩷
What pattern is ur pullover??? LOVE
It’s the Prep School Pullover by Star Crossed Knits (Tamara Jordan)!!
And I used wool and the gang Feelin Good yarn in one of their self striping colorways
the elara cardigan has buttonholes for buttons in the instructions! the sample photo just didnt have any attached:)
Oh big slay!!
For the coy top it looks like lana grossa per fortuna
Thank you for bestowing this knowledge upon me 🙌
OMG!! all this time I thought the people saying petite knitter were just saying it wrong 🤣😂🤭
THANK YOU I’m very glad I wasn’t the only one lol

How are you going to attempt to say liv bjorholm lyhne but not even try megumi shinagawa? does it really take that much effort?
With that particular example I saw the name Liv and gave it a shot knowing I likely had the first part correct at least. I genuinely thought it would be more disrespectful to completely butcher someone’s name. Not that this is anyone’s business but I do have dyslexia, so yeah it does take a fair amount of effort for me to read! Thanks for asking!
Didn’t you read the first comment? Maybe read that before shade is thrown.
I really want to do the Maggie cardi because its my name lol
As you should 🙂↕️
Mie? It's pronounced something like Meeae. Ferring: without rolling the r. Pretty straightforward. I'm Danish and we do have strange names 😅
I was just in Denmark and you can imagine my struggle lol. Thanks for the info!!
