In this episode, I’ll be starting us off by sharing my mood board, created using my seven step process that I laid out in last week’s Midweek Ramble and then after that, I hand it off to all of you who submitted mood boards to me over at woolneedleshands@gmail.com for a super inspiring Mood Board Gallery montage. If you aren’t feeling inspired today, this is the episode for you. A perfect one for sitting back, relaxing, and just taking it all in.
Thank you for showing my small moodboard collage, Missus Earl. 😁 It didn't look so elegant as many of the others it stood with. I wish there was a place we could see all of the moodboards together.
I found that when I started setting up boards on my Pinterest sight, that I actually had preferences. Who knew! I quickly figured out the designer I love, is Dior, even though I will never be able to afford Dior. When I started making boards for , say, shoes, or purses, or yarn, I suddenly saw I really did have my own style. Those mood boards are all beautiful.
This is so cool! I love it when things like this take us on a little journey of self-discovery. And Dior is one of my favorites in terms of aesthetic. And Chanel. 🤤 Ha! That'll be the day. 🥴
Yay! I'm so excited to see everyone's boards and inspirations. I'm a newer knitter and still figuring out my own style; let's look at some different directions.
A further thought: I feel this description of your style covers all iterations of your various sides and moods. I like that the images could easily shift (based on season or various other inflections), while the integrity of those core words still hold the space for your innate style. This actually really motivates me to give this process a try! Currently in the throws of newborn life and am craving creative process almost more than ever 👶
Thank you for all the mood boards! I wasn’t going to make one because I have No Style. Funny, because my godmother was a couturière, and she taught me how to look at and see style, but I just can’t seem to wear it. I’ve decided to just start with my favorite colors, develop a palette, and think about the stitch patterns I enjoy. I was tickled to see Norah Gaughan's Nightingale sweater (my favorite) on a board; I love the sweep of the cables, and the color too. I don’t know if it would suit me, though. On to the mood board and see what transpires!
I am not finished with my mood board yet, I am still brainstorming and looking at pictures. But what I noticed after a while is that what I am drawn to is not how I style in my everyday life - and I have always been unsatisfied with my style. Seems obvious, but I never really challenged my viewpoint and buying/ making habits. I am not sure how I will proceed having unearthed this revelation yet, but thanks for opening my eyes to it!
That is such a great revelation!! Some of us go back to what is comfortable not what we really prefer or enjoy looking at. I hope you find your style! Best wishes!!
We moved house recently and all my crafting supplies are still boxed and my craft room furniture is disassembled. I am experiencing withdrawal so this is a welcome distraction. The mood boards are gorgeous and while I am too much of a chaos demon to contain myself to a colour palette or aesthetic in my knitting/sewing, they are inspirational to me for decorating. Congrats to all the prize winners!
Tayler I absolutely adore you. Your entire vibe just hits exactly right with me where I am at in my life. I really think we could be besties if we met in real life. 🧡
Those mood boards are so professional. The last time I made a mood board it was cut and paste, thus very rudimentary… but it resulted in inspiring me to convert an unused storage room in my home into my craft room! So it’s all good. 🧶🥰
Congratulations participants! Congratulations winners! Y‘all are awesome and creative! Just amazing! Awesome video roundup @Tayler! You pretty much summed up what we want autumn to be: cozy coffee shop vibe!😊
I can absolutely see that aesthetic! I find that the more you contextualize the vibe, the easier it is to really visualize it. And you can just add different party themes to alter that one defining element. 😎
I have been daydreaming of a Pine green Weekender and a "bottle green" Lento in Knitting for Olive yarn. But first... gotta knit through some of my stash.
That was SO MUCH FUN! The video, the homework, seeing my mood board on screen! Just all of it. I hope that you'll continue to challenge us and keep us involved in the future because I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Your color story is my definition of cozy! I am drawn to those colors for our living/lounge room and have held fast against the white/grey/chrome and sometimes blue trend in decor because it seems so cold to me. I used to wear a lot of those cozy fall colors, but the jewel tones and sometimes neons are calling to me these days. I clash with my house. 😂 Fun to see all the mood boards. Congrats to the winners! 🎉
Those are all lovely! I'm in central Texas and it's going to be 95 degrees with a low of 70. The only way I know it's fall is because there are pumpkin spice lattes everywhere. I love cozy fall knits and colors, but we just don't have the weather to wear them here. I need to move somewhere with distinct seasons instead of "It's too hot for 9 months and then it's not for 3 months."
Concerning the colors you chose for your mood board: As my hair color and complexion is quite similar to yours, I have often found myself looking at the colors you use for your knits to get inspiration for my new projects. What looks great on you most likely will look great on me as well 😄
Hello hello hello and thank you so much. Your selection of mood boards showed a pattern I have been searching for a long time. It was botanical yoke pullover by purl soho. So happy knitting, yes and you are so good to watch too.
I loved this video!! i think those glasses are too cute! I could barely hear what you were saying because of them. Also, the mood boards are so inspiring. This is the greatest idea ever! I will be making one when I get some days off. Thank you for the idea.
Your color palette at the bottom of your mood board is my colors but is missing a good brownish rustic orange....ahhhhhh brown is by far my favorite color.....
I loved a lot of the mood boards and have been making one in my mind, now just needs to be done on my screen 😅 Loved especially the witchy one and tried to find that cabled sweater. Turns out it’s a purlsoho pattern called the Botanical Yoke Pullover and the site cited called Tina’s Handicraft posts patterns for free. I couldn’t find it there so maybe they took it down, since that wouldn’t be lawful. Anyway, feeling so inspired! Thank you to everyone ❤
Enjoyable and enlightening! Loved all the mood boards. What was that very chill music you played while they were showing? I'd love to use that as the start of a Spotify Playlist!
Wow...all the mood boards were amazing & so inspiring. I've never done one before, though I have done collages of what I would like to make, but not with possible colour preference or idea inspiration. May have to try one, though for Spring/Summer which is what it is now here in Australia. Congratulations on Patreon, I just became a member, I truly value all the effort you put into your videos!
I'm so glad you enjoyed those. They are indeed so inspiring. And thank you for your support on Patreon Julia. That means so much to me and I'm excited to share more content with you over there. If you haven't watched it yet, the Patreon video where I talk about curating a mood board is a good one for drumming up ideas. ❤️
That's one of the things that takes the longest to pin down. But that's also what's nice about this; you can come back to it and tweak it all you want. Enjoy!
I love all those colors you got from Joan’s, what is the name of those yarns? I’d like to see if they still have any I could pick up. Love your color choices.
Love your ideas for interesting content. I am considering a cardigan project. The Kallias cardigan by Isabell Kramer. I am considering several yarns at my LYS. Some are very smooth and twisted, some very rustic and “toothy,” and some between. I am trying to research how one matches wool to project, when is one better than the other? Choosing the right yarn for a project can result in success or failure of finished garment. This would be a good ramble subject.
Thank you so much Sara! So I have a video that may answer some of these questions for you. I'll link it here: ruclips.net/video/5B7csIZHJD0/видео.htmlsi=5I3XX9ljDysPggsq Otherwise, I love a good "right yarn for the job" discussion!
A thought that is occurring to me just now: when making a mood board, would the current season really influence your preferences? So shouldn’t you revise your choices again in winter, spring and summer?
I would think that some people's mood boards would change a lot over the seasons, but others' wouldn't. I would be interested in creating one again in the spring to see what changes on mine!
Yes totally! In fact this was something I was thinking about a lot between the last Midweek Ramble and this one. I think I even emphasize it a bit more here than I did in the previous because I feel like these are things that will undoubtedly change with the seasons. Very good point and even more exciting to think that you can have fun adding fresh elements throughout the year. ❤️
Hi! I'm always wondering if there is a particular reason for you not to use ravelry? Or at least not mentioning it. I'm also curious about the app that you use for your patterns, looks cool! What is it? Thanks!
Hi Lea Marie! So I actually use Ravelry ALL THE TIME. In fact, the app you see me using is called Ravit and is a mobile 3rd party Ravelry app. If you watch my pattern roundup videos, you'll also find the links to all of my respective Ravelry bundles in the description box. It's pretty much all I use for knitting patterns and the like.
I have already named the winner for the previous Something Old/Something New MAL and have yet to name a winner for the Break the Curse MAL. Stay tuned. 😉

I have to admit I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed seeing everyone’s mood board. Loved the variety and individuality.
Thank you for showing my small moodboard collage, Missus Earl. 😁 It didn't look so elegant as many of the others it stood with. I wish there was a place we could see all of the moodboards together.
Congratulations winners!! The mood boards were fabulous Taylor wasnt kidding. Great job all
Your shawl looks lovely against your rust sweater. Loving the color combination
Thank you Edina!

Hats off to all the creators of the gorgeous mood boards. How inspirational.
Agreed! 🎩

Taylor what an inspiration you are to all … I love your knits, ideas, your kindness to share so much with us 2 x’s a week
💝💝💝😊
It's my pleasure Debbie. Thank you so much for being here each week. It means a great deal to me.
You really hit a chord! Remarkable response/beautiful boards.
I feel like Coffee House Cozy describes your vibe SO WELL! Great outcome to your process 🧡

CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!! That was fun!! For a second I thought I had won when you said “Katie…” 🤣🤣. Have fun on your trip Tayler!!

Congratulations to everyone who won. It was really inspiring to see how colour and texture encourage is us all to move forward

Loved this and am now inspired to make my own mood board.
Really like the coffee house cozy. There was a lot of inspiring mood boards. Thanks😊

Thank you so much Elizabeth. That truly means a lot to me. ❤️
Your shawl looks great with the sweater you’re wearing. All of those mood boards were so inspiring.❤
Thank you Dawn! ❤️

Those mood boards were amazing!!!
Congratulations participants! Congratulations winners! Y‘all are awesome and creative! Just amazing!
Awesome video roundup @Tayler! You pretty much summed up what we want autumn to be: cozy coffee shop vibe!😊
I don;'t know if I could NAME my aesthetic, haha! "Eco Goth dark academia but at a halloween party"?
I can absolutely see that aesthetic! I find that the more you contextualize the vibe, the easier it is to really visualize it. And you can just add different party themes to alter that one defining element. 😎
@@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS Except when the “at a halloween party” is hear round LOL
so much beauty! those mood boards are amazing!
Marvelous inspiration! Loved seeing the different Mood Boards. So much amazing creativity. Thanks for sharing!
So many beautiful mood boards. I loved them 😍.
O my gosh - those mood boards. I couldn’t get past the first one without gushing!!!! Thx for sharing everyone and thx for initiating this Tayler. ❤❤
Aren't they beautiful? I was so impressed! And it's been my pleasure. I've enjoyed this rabbit hole. ❤️
I love the way the you wear your neck shawl! Tying those ends is it ! I enjoy your episodes very much 😊
Wow, so much inspo. Everyone's mood boards were so so good. Congratulations to all the winners. Have a fun weekend adventure Tayler.
Thanks Tayler! This was really great.Made me think about my colors and knitting choices and gave me some new ideas.😀
I'm so glad Caryl! Thank you for watching. ❤️
You have so many talented artists for viewers!
Indeed! I am so impressed!
Great mood boards! All were beautifully constructed.
Safe travels over the weekend, Tayler.
I have been daydreaming of a Pine green Weekender and a "bottle green" Lento in Knitting for Olive yarn. But first... gotta knit through some of my stash.
Ahhh, the dreams of greens. Such gorgeous colors.
That was SO MUCH FUN! The video, the homework, seeing my mood board on screen! Just all of it. I hope that you'll continue to challenge us and keep us involved in the future because I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Really enjoyed the creative mood boards. Each so different and inspiring. Great job Taylor creating this podcast. Coffee House Cozy is definitely you!
Wow! What wonderfully creative makers out there. Gorgeous mood boards. Thanks for sharing those.
Hi Taylor, I am loving how you styled your new shawl. It is a beautiful color and yes, like you, I believe it to be a fairly neutral color.
'Those were absolutely beautiful and very creative
Congratulations for the mood board. They are all beatifull 🥰
Very cool to see everyone's boards and inspiration! ❤

Those really are inspiring!
The mood boards were amazing!,,,,
Right!? I loved them. ❤️
I loved the mood boards!!!!
Loved this video! Actually I love them all! I love how often you share podcasts :)
Thank you so much Libby! I'm happy to have you here. ❤️
Very inspiring! So many styles and moods!
Concerning the colors you chose for your mood board: As my hair color and complexion is quite similar to yours, I have often found myself looking at the colors you use for your knits to get inspiration for my new projects. What looks great on you most likely will look great on me as well 😄

Hello hello hello and thank you so much. Your selection of mood boards showed a pattern I have been searching for a long time. It was botanical yoke pullover by purl soho. So happy knitting, yes and you are so good to watch too.
The mood boards are amazing. I am trying to put mine into pics as well. Would be lovely to make some more seasonal mood boards as well.
I'm new to your podcast, and this episode is one of my favorites! ❤
I loved this video!! i think those glasses are too cute! I could barely hear what you were saying because of them. Also, the mood boards are so inspiring. This is the greatest idea ever! I will be making one when I get some days off. Thank you for the idea.
These are all sooooo good! I am definitely inspired by all these lovely mood boards. ❤
Weren't they so great? I'm so impressed...and inspired!
Such a fun episode!! Im gonna rewatch the montage when i have time to pause and look closer at them all!
Thank you Valerie! And yes. A rewatch with some time to pause is definitely in order. They are such great mood boards. ❤️
Your color palette at the bottom of your mood board is my colors but is missing a good brownish rustic orange....ahhhhhh brown is by far my favorite color.....
I SOO agree with you Mindy. I need a good rusty orange brownish something or other. 🤔
Ohhh that blue makes your eyes pop!! Love seeing this project styled! (If I’m remembering correctly, it’s the hollows shawl?)
Thank you so much! And yep. This is the Hollows Shawl. ❤️
I loved a lot of the mood boards and have been making one in my mind, now just needs to be done on my screen 😅 Loved especially the witchy one and tried to find that cabled sweater. Turns out it’s a purlsoho pattern called the Botanical Yoke Pullover and the site cited called Tina’s Handicraft posts patterns for free. I couldn’t find it there so maybe they took it down, since that wouldn’t be lawful. Anyway, feeling so inspired! Thank you to everyone ❤
My mood board would have be the same as yours! I love it ❤
Great minds, as they say. Thank you so much for watching Cindy!
Enjoyable and enlightening! Loved all the mood boards. What was that very chill music you played while they were showing? I'd love to use that as the start of a Spotify Playlist!
So fun!!!! I still need to make my “knitting aesthetic mood board”! Because I’m not entirely sure where I fall 🤔
You should! I think you would enjoy it. Especially with the recent mood boards you were creating for your Rhinebeck outfit. ❤️
Wow...all the mood boards were amazing & so inspiring. I've never done one before, though I have done collages of what I would like to make, but not with possible colour preference or idea inspiration.

If you haven't watched it yet, the Patreon video where I talk about curating a mood board is a good one for drumming up ideas. ❤️
I will have to set aside some time to tweak my mood board. I didn’t really look at colour palettes so that’s something that I’d like to add.
That's one of the things that takes the longest to pin down. But that's also what's nice about this; you can come back to it and tweak it all you want. Enjoy!
Great podcast
Thank you Joan!
I love all those colors you got from Joan’s, what is the name of those yarns? I’d like to see if they still have any I could pick up. Love your color choices.
Aren’t they pretty! They’re by the Joann brand K&C (knit & crochet) Craft and it’s a line of super bulky Alpaca blend yarn. ❤️
Love your ideas for interesting content. I am considering a cardigan project. The Kallias cardigan by Isabell Kramer. I am considering several yarns at my LYS.

Woah, ok, I had no idea there is something like that! I need to download it asap, haha. Thanks for the tip! ❤
What is your scarf in this episode?
What is the name Lucky Tweed colorway?
It’s color #426 called Ocean. 👍❤️
Congrats to the winners! 🎉 wondering if you named winners for your two MALs…
I have already named the winner for the previous Something Old/Something New MAL and have yet to name a winner for the Break the Curse MAL. Stay tuned. 😉
I’m sorry I must have missed that podcast.
