Hello from Norway! ❤ About the Easy V jumper; I understand that you had specific expectations for it, but for someone who is looking at it fresh, I think it fits you beautifully!!! You look great in it, and you really chose colours that suits you.
I think the Easy V looks fabulous on you. The colors are perfect for your complexion. Thanks for taking the time to get this wonderful podcast out. Have a happy holiday.
Hi Kate: The V sweater is awesome - the fit is lovely, the colors are coherent, and the stitch definition is spot on. Wearing it with your hair down might help you like it better! Hope you will come to like it more. Can’t wait to watch your Vlogmas! Happy knitting!
Kate you look lovely in your Easy V sweater. Many times we are very critical about how things look on us. I am glad you are going to wear your beautiful sweater. ❤
Your Easy Vee is gorgeous, and lovely on you! I always dislike the look of v-neck sweaters on myself, but I have found that if I wear a crew neck tee shirt or top under them, I like the look better. Maybe something to try? Great episode today, and very excited for your vlogmas! ❤🎄
A lovely beautifully knitted jumper and the colours suit you. I find a boat neck shape difficult to wear. I usually resort to wear them over a round neck t-shirt or a polo neck cotton jumper.
Hi Kate Your V sweater looks lovely on you. Do not worry!! As another comment suggests, wear it with a polo/turtle neck jumper (a lightweight one) that's what I would do. I am always cold so that wouldn't be a problem but it looks fine as it is on you.
I think it looks great on you! Those are your colors! I’d probably wear a blouse or turtleneck underneath which would mean, I’d have to wear it when it’s really cold out!
I think both sweaters are beautiful. If it feels comfortable then that is wonderful. My size has changed also. Crazy how your body changes over the years. Love your socks. It is finally snowing here in Canada ❤
It suits you and I would suggest wearing a shirt with collar under it as The neck shape perhaps is the issue unless you can back and reknit the collar shape???
The countdown has most definitely started! I have put my early morning treats at the ready to start my days watching you and well loved others too! Changing body shape is not an easy beast to tackle, I find, time in your life but also seasons I think … keep faith and be gentle with yourself, keep the “guilt trip” at bay and contemplate a different look maybe if it brings you satisfaction, fulfilment and peace ! 🤗
The Easy V sweater looks lovely on you. To us as viewers it looks like it fits you perfectly 😊 you have to be comfortable wearing it though. The colours definitely suit you too. I have bought the circus tonic handmade advent too! Like you I have never bought one before so I’ll be interested to see what you make with yours!
Hi Kate! Looking forward to watching vlogmas. I was happy to hear you say that lifelines don't help you with lace. I thought I was the only one. The v neck sweater is beautiful and looks great on you. The little v at the neckline is very flattering. Wear it with pride. The color work is gorgeous!
Hi Kate, so great to see you again. Really looking forward to your Vlogmas. It's been a tough year here too, with a major bereavement, and watching lovely knitting folk like you has kept me going: thank you. Your Easy V jumper is gorgeous, i should try to relax about it and just enjoy it! Love your Rakuyou too, it's so delicate-looking. You are an amazing knitter! X
In my opinion, the Easy V sweater looks great on you. You might consider running a thread of elastic around the neckline so it sits a bit closer and smoother. Plus it’s a nice color and you mentioned it feels good next to skin.
Hi Kate, lovely to see an episode from you! Re the sweater - it’s lovely, and I think it does suit you. It’s the neckline though, isn’t it. From where I’m sitting I’d say that’s the only problem area, the rest of it is truly fine. Don’t knock yourself out doing vlogmas! I always think it’s such a great commitment when podcasters do vlogmas or vlogtober. It must be an awful lot of determination, especially as December is such a busy month. xxx
Thank you so so much Kate. It’s been a tough year for me and this is just what I needed. Love your v sweater, the colors look great on you and I think it fits you well. Look forward to Christmas vlogs.
Looking forward to Vlogmas! Your green V sweater looks fine Kate. I looked the pattern and it just looks really, really drapey and the sleeves are rather wide. I don’t know, but I’m thinking yours will stretch over time, but for now, it looks like a tighter fit. Could just be the type of wool you used. Love all your socks! So happy you have such a full basket to choose from. Keeping your toes warm won’t be a problem this winter. Your lace sweater is really beautiful on you as well.
Like everyone else, I think your sweater looks great on you. ✨I found body changes difficult to get used to, but once I felt at home within myself again, my clothes felt good again too. ❤ Xxx
Kate maybe with a cream turtleneck will be more flattering. I think it’s a great knit and I’m sure you will find something that will flatter the beautiful knit it is. I have one exactly like that and I felt the same way. 14:44
I can’t wait for your vlogmas Kate! Always a very special part of December for me! I love both your sweaters and you have inspired me with your lovely basket of socks you have knit and saved. I’m sure you will enjoy wearing them on those chilly December days. Lots of love from Anna in the Craigantlet hills xxxx
The only thing I have to say about your sweater in question would be maybe the neck is a little wide, but there are fixes you can try to change that. I think the sleeves and underarm fit looks great and I love your colors! It is always great to see you on RUclips and looking forward to watching your vlogmas episodes…happy holidays to you and your family🙂🧶🎄
I think you did a beautiful job on the v neck sweater. For me I am always concerned with open neck, it looks great on you, but I might consider wearing it with a turtle neck for me. Getting excited about your vlogmas and love the scenery you always add around Ireland.
Oh Kate, I think the sweater looks beautiful on you. It is a different neckline for you, but it looks good. Your dk socks look so comfy. What a lovely idea to keep your knitted socks in a basket😁
So happy you're going to do Vlogmas , Kate! Your sweaters are lovely. The Easy V certainly looks better on you than you think it looks, although I, personally, would be a little uncomfortable wearing that unusual construction of the neckline. How lovely that you now have so many new pairs of socks to wear. By the way, the dog running on the beach at the start looks so much like my Barney - though alas he cannot run anymore now as his legs are failing him in his old age. That was exactly how he used to be though. ❤
❤❤❤excited to see your vlogmas,,Kate,,,🎉 absolutely love it,,,, Wys is nice yarn,,,,,I have 2. On the needles,,so far,,, And have the cozy knitter stripe socks,,,,❤❤ A few gifts to finish ,,,, And just enjoy my knitting ,,,,, See u soon, Elaine 🏠💕🍁
Kudos to you for doing all that seed stitch on your sweater along with the lacework! It is great to open the laptop and find you here. I am looking forward to whatever you post through this very hectic season. Your site is nice calming place to be.
Hi Kate! I love your Easy V jumper on you!! It looks to be a perfect fit and I love the colors! ❤ I love the jumper you were wearing in the opening too! The colors and design are lovely!
Yay vlogmas is almost upon us!! I think the rakuyou will be the one of the two you reach for all the time. It looks great and looks like easy wearing too. I think the easy V looks good but it’s more of a statement and I wonder if that could be partly what’s is causing discomfort because it certainly looks good
Thank you for a fun episode, if you were rambling I didn’t notice, just enjoyed the chat. The jumper looks great on you & the neck line sits really nicely when ‘in action’. Keep wearing it 😊
Lovely to see you Kate. Looking forward to vlogmas. I have the same issue with my Easy V, I find it really wide at the neck, maybe I should have knit a smaller size 😜 I love it none the less, easy straightforward 🧶
Kate, I think the V-neck sweater looks lovely on you. The colours are so pretty. The neckline is very flattering too. I look forward to watching your Vlogmas.🧶🌸
What a lovely catch up before Vlogmas hits! I too am making the Nutcracker socks and hope to be finished by Christmas. They are for me so I’ve been working slowly on them as I make things for so many other people. That’s OK. I think that your sweater is lovely. I would have the same hesitation because I don’t like my neck exposed in the winter - so I think I don’t like the way I look without a turtleneck or some kind of collar under a sweater with a neckline such as on yours. I think it fits beautifully and you look lovely in the color. Thanks for your time and company.
The jumper is beautiful on you Kate. You were expecting it to be a kind of Sloppy Joe sweater and it doesn’t feel like you expected it to feel on you. But it looks fab.
Hi from Australia! I'm always envious of everyone in the Northern hemisphere being able to wear your Christmas knits; it's 36 degrees C here today! I love your Easy V jumper on you Kate; the colours really suit you. Would you consider wearing a collared shirt under it? Maybe you would prefer that look.. I'm excited to watch your Vlogmas episodes - loved your podcast
I actually really like that green jumper on you, I think it is really really nice on you and the choice of colour really suits you honey!!! Lovely to see you back here btw! ;-) xxx
Kate you look lovely in the jumper and it definitely suits you in shape and I love the colour too. I wish we could wear cozy knits at Christmas, socks, jumpers, hats, BUT Australia is just way to hot for any of that. The best we can do is knit with air conditioning on. I am looking forward to your Vlogmas as I watch every year and it helps me get into the Christmas spirit.
I am so looking forward to your vlogmas again this year! About the easy V; when I see many of the projects on Ravelry, I see that it is a sweater that looks nice as long as you are not moving your arms... ;) So I would blame the pattern, not your body. :)
Nice to see you again. Your sweater is lovely. The colors are beautiful and the body and sleeves look great. However, to me, there was something a little bit off on the way the collar sits. I’m not experienced enough to give advice but I can see why you aren’t 100% settled. Happy holidays!💕
I think the Easy V looks great on you! As you pointed out, you’re narrower at the top so I think it widens that area, thus making you look more proportional. As someone with wide shoulders and a love of yoke colour work sweaters, you look fab in yours! I do think the neck could be tightened up a smidge.
Hi Kate I’m currently in London returning home today so seeing this got me excited for the Christmas season to begin. I’m looking forward to your vlogmas. As others have said the green sweater looks really nice on you. I think it might be something you like the more you wear it. It will be nice and warm on cold days. I’m looking forward to seeing your advents. I didn’t get a hand dyed advent calendar this year as I usually go but have the self striping one from the yarn badger which is new for me. See you in a few days in vlogmas
Hi Kate, your opening scene reminds me of the Maine shoreline where I live. Anyway, I agree with many of your fans that the sweater looks fine on you and you did a beautiful job knitting it. I do know we knitters tend to be too self critical…make that women knitters. Food for thought? I’ll look forward to Vlogmas. Take care and thank you, Eileen
Hands down you look amazing in the Easy V sweater. The neckline really suits you well. Maybe you are looking for a looser garment at the moment is all. YAY for Vlogmas again this year too ❤🎉
Love your podcast. The easy V is beautiful and colors are so good! I find with my pattern hunting that I now look at necklines with fine tooth comb. I like crew for my bodytype. Your neckline on this make I think I would try a High neck crew short sleeve shirt…white. Or a short sleeve turtle neck to wear under. The eye goes to lifting up. Just a thought to consider. But… bottom line I think it lovely on you! Wear on repeat and enjoy.
Dear Kate, always a pleasure to see you. Both sweaters are beautiful and fit you well. The Easy V jumper is a right size for you and you look beautiful in it. I definitely understand the feeling of a slight disappointment, but sometimes we are too critical of ourselves. When it is cold, you can wear a collared shirt under the V-sweater. Looking forward to your Vlogmas and you wearing BOTH sweaters! ❤
Can’t wait for Vlogmas🎄. The Easy V jumper looks lovely on you, I think maybe if you knit it again a few extra stitches in the underarm might just give a little ease in the sleeve / underarm area and you could decrease them eventually very easily? So many pretty socks, you’ve been busy all year making them. I think I will start making some DK socks, nice and warm. Take care, be well🥰🙋🏼♀️
Kate, it's so lovely to see you today. I'm so looking forward to your Vlogmas episodes. I like your sweater on you. The neck seems slightly large but would look great with a collared shirt under it. I've seen you wear that style before and it might suit this colorwork sweater well.I also liked your year of socks idea. How fun to see the basket fill up over the months!
I love the green sweater beautiful colors together!! Maybe wear a turtleneck or mock neck underneath; or when your hair is down the neckline will look different? You are a beautiful knitter! 😊
Hi Kate. Happy to see your smile this morning! I’ve been pondering the V neck sweater issue and wonder if it isn’t just the neck that isn’t working. it appears to gape a bit. The yoke itself seems to fit perfectly. I wonder if you might be happier if you wore something under it - a collared shirt or a polo neck? Just a thought. I still think it is just beautiful and the colours are amazing. Can’t wait for Vlogmas!💕🇨🇦
Hello! I’m really looking forward to your vlogmas episodes. I don’t watch a lot of vlogmas but I always watch yours. I like your vibe. About the green sweater and modifying for size, I hav a scrawny neck and narrow shoulders, but the rest of me is rather plump so what I do is figure what size I need to fit my bust measurement and then cast on one size smaller. Once I separate for sleeves I increase at the underarms for the size I need. For bottom up I do the opposite, decreasing extra stitches at the armhole to bring me down a size.
Kate the sweater is lovely but I have felt the way you do. I think if you added a collar shirt it might finish the look off. I always struggle with the neck. I think the yoke looks fine on you! Truly!! I just heard you say you will be doing Vlogmas! I am so happy to hear that! ❤
Hi Kate, I've watched your videos for years and really look forward to them. I've grown very attached to your vlogmas series over the years and was delighted last year when you were able to post. I thought it about time I commented as I think it's literally years since I have (I utterly rubbish at commenting). I think both the sweaters look gorgeous on you but I completely understand the feeling you experienced for yourself with the Easy V jumper. I know this might be a bit controversial but I don't think that it's you, rather that the pattern has its difficulties and the fit isn't great for everyone , although thankfully that's not evident to anyone not wearing it 😊. Looking forward to vlogmas - no pressure 😉
Hi Kate, I like the jumper on you but I know from personal experience if I don't feel good in something I tend not to wear it, maybe try a collared shirt under it to make it look a bit V neck. Very much looking forward to your vlogmas. All the best to you.
Hello from Norway! ❤ About the Easy V jumper; I understand that you had specific expectations for it, but for someone who is looking at it fresh, I think it fits you beautifully!!! You look great in it, and you really chose colours that suits you.

The sweater looks great on you. I love the colors on you. Beautiful sweater on a beautiful lady! I really enjoy your podcasts.
I love your sweater and I think its actually very flattering on you!
I think the sweater looks great on you. You could wear a turtleneck under it if the neckline bothers you.
Hi Kate: The V sweater is awesome - the fit is lovely, the colors are coherent, and the stitch definition is spot on. Wearing it with your hair down might help you like it better! Hope you will come to like it more. Can’t wait to watch your Vlogmas! Happy knitting!

I think the sweater looks beautiful on you! Doesn’t need any modifications.
Your Easy Vee is gorgeous, and lovely on you! I always dislike the look of v-neck sweaters on myself, but I have found that if I wear a crew neck tee shirt or top under them, I like the look better. Maybe something to try? Great episode today, and very excited for your vlogmas! ❤🎄
Hi Kate, the easy V really does suit you. You have nothing to worry about. Enjoying watching you as I make mince pies. Thank you for the podcast x

I love how the sweater looks on you and I think it suits you so much. If I thought otherwise I just would have refrained from commenting😉❤
I think the jumper looks great on you, fits very nicely hugs
Hi Kate. Your Easy V Jumper is beautiful and looks great on you and fits you perfectly! Hope you decide to wear it.
Kate, both sweaters look so gorgeous on you. No need for any doubts in my opinion. Looking forward to Vlogmas!!!😊
Hi Kate Your V sweater looks lovely on you. Do not worry!! As another comment suggests, wear it with a polo/turtle neck jumper (a lightweight one) that's what I would do. I am always cold so that wouldn't be a problem but it looks fine as it is on you.

The Easy V sweater looks lovely on you. To us as viewers it looks like it fits you perfectly 😊 you have to be comfortable wearing it though. The colours definitely suit you too.
I have bought the circus tonic handmade advent too! Like you I have never bought one before so I’ll be interested to see what you make with yours!
Kate, the V jumper looked lovely and really suited you….keep wearing it. 😊

Hi Kate! Looking forward to watching vlogmas. I was happy to hear you say that lifelines don't help you with lace. I thought I was the only one. The v neck sweater is beautiful and looks great on you. The little v at the neckline is very flattering. Wear it with pride. The color work is gorgeous!

I also think the Easy V fits you very well. You look very pretty in it! It is feminine and elegant.
It is lovely...needs a shawl/scarf thingy
I am also at that point in life, i hear you!
❤ great you're doing vlogmas!

Like all the comments here, your easy V jumper looks amazing on you. You should be proud to wear it. And, the colours are spot on for you.

Your v sweater looks stunning on you😍ps so wonderful to see you
I have the wys yarn in my stash. I think it maybe the next project, will probably get some evergreen to use as you have. Thanks for the ideas.
Can’t wait for Vlogmas🎄. The Easy V jumper looks lovely on you, I think maybe if you knit it again a few extra stitches in the underarm might just give a little ease in the sleeve / underarm area and you could decrease them eventually very easily?
So many pretty socks, you’ve been busy all year making them. I think I will start making some DK socks, nice and warm.
Take care, be well🥰🙋🏼♀️
Kate, it's so lovely to see you today. I'm so looking forward to your Vlogmas episodes. I like your sweater on you. The neck seems slightly large but would look great with a collared shirt under it. I've seen you wear that style before and it might suit this colorwork sweater well.I also liked your year of socks idea. How fun to see the basket fill up over the months!
I love the green sweater beautiful colors together!! Maybe wear a turtleneck or mock neck underneath; or when your hair is down the neckline will look different? You are a beautiful knitter! 😊
Kate, the sweater looks great on you. Trust me. The neckline is very different but really
really works on you. (Would I lie to you??😂)
Hi Kate. Happy to see your smile this morning! I’ve been pondering the V neck sweater issue and wonder if it isn’t just the neck that isn’t working. it appears to gape a bit. The yoke itself seems to fit perfectly. I wonder if you might be happier if you wore something under it - a collared shirt or a polo neck? Just a thought. I still think it is just beautiful and the colours are amazing. Can’t wait for Vlogmas!💕🇨🇦
Hello! I’m really looking forward to your vlogmas episodes. I don’t watch a lot of vlogmas but I always watch yours. I like your vibe.
About the green sweater and modifying for size, I hav a scrawny neck and narrow shoulders, but the rest of me is rather plump so what I do is figure what size I need to fit my bust measurement and then cast on one size smaller. Once I separate for sleeves I increase at the underarms for the size I need. For bottom up I do the opposite, decreasing extra stitches at the armhole to bring me down a size.
Kate the sweater is lovely but I have felt the way you do. I think if you added a collar shirt it might finish the look off. I always struggle with the neck. I think the yoke looks fine on you! Truly!! I just heard you say you will be doing Vlogmas! I am so happy to hear that! ❤
Hi Kate, I've watched your videos for years and really look forward to them. I've grown very attached to your vlogmas series over the years and was delighted last year when you were able to post. I thought it about time I commented as I think it's literally years since I have (I utterly rubbish at commenting). I think both the sweaters look gorgeous on you but I completely understand the feeling you experienced for yourself with the Easy V jumper. I know this might be a bit controversial but I don't think that it's you, rather that the pattern has its difficulties and the fit isn't great for everyone , although thankfully that's not evident to anyone not wearing it 😊. Looking forward to vlogmas - no pressure 😉
Hi Kate, I like the jumper on you but I know from personal experience if I don't feel good in something I tend not to wear it, maybe try a collared shirt under it to make it look a bit V neck. Very much looking forward to your vlogmas. All the best to you.
