Thanks for always adding joy to my Friday Andrea. You are such a positive light for your fellow knitters. Your willingness to share your time week after week answering our questions to make us all better knitters and spinners is greatly appreciated. 😃
I was watching this while eating dinner. When the thing dropped off your desk...a ravioli fell off my fork onto my lap. It literally felt like you were "ooop"-ing for me. 😂😂
I came here from Wool Needles Hands (an old video where you were mentioned) and Taylor was so right, you are a delight and have such good advice and technical information.
You gave me an idea! I’m doing stash dashers too and was already going to spin up my Spin a Flock from Brittany (Crux Fibres)…. but now I’m thinking I’m going to spin it for a natural coloured traveler shawl and join the spin it to knit it! 🎉
In regards to the Pink Fizz question: considering there is 10-12" of positive ease, you may find that it still fits fine and adjustments aren't necessary. I sew as well as knit and often need to grade between sizes. But sometimes the ease in a pattern is very forgiving and grading isn't always necessary.
Hi Andrea, so great to hear from you every end of the week! I'm working on my marbled nebula and using similar colors to yours, and I am so delighted by how it's turning out! I hadn't even thought of combining those two fibers, much less those two colors, so just want to thank you for the inspiration and joy 😊
If I may, I would like to add something to your discussion about what makes a handspun yarn "round." Spinning using the worsted method, where the fleece is prepared so that all of the fibers are aligned in the same direction results in a drapey yarn that is not as round. However, spinning in the woolen method where more air is trapped in the fibers because they are not strictly aligned in one direction, gives more bounce, squish and roundness to the finished product.
I’m knitting Weekender from two different Handspun yarns to create a 4 ply. My swatch was so far off that for the first time in my life I’m knitting size 1! My goal is to knit this sweater completely during TDF.
Love the color of the nebula your wearing. If you said it in the video.... i missed it 😅. What colorway are you wearing? I have a horrible time picking wearable color. Or im just not confident in the colors i pick.
I would like some advice. I can’t wear mohair or alpaca. I love these sweaters that are draped and slight fuzz. Is there any other fiber that I can get in a lace weight to add to my merino DK or sport weight yarns?
I have a curious question regarding the shifty question. I have knit them and they are mosaic, right? So using only one color at a time? The question asked was about using two handed colorwork and dominance. Have I missed something with the patterns all of this time?

Great video. Love your sweaters. I love show and tell, it’s fun seeing what you’ve bought or made or spinning.
Hi Andrea. Love your chatting and teaching - going to knit your Nebula now - it looks so good on you 🥰🤓
Just love all your videos. Casting on the a traveler hat today with my cousin. Next will be the Nebula sweater! 💜💕
I’m here for the dream cardi 🙌🏻

My first Tour de Fleece! I’ve joined the #Stashdash team and ready to spin along.
