Congratulations on your podiversary! I’ve only been going 3 months so far 😂 3 years is a huge achievement ❤❤
oh wow! Congrats on starting a podcast! I will check yours out. I feel like it's such a brave thing to do. thanks for watching!
Congratulations on 3 years, I think a shawl would look lovely in that gold yarn.
Happy podiversary, Nicole! Cheers to many more years of porch-knitting fun and knitting chats 🥳
porch knitting is the best! (or footy knitting in your case haha)
Congratulations on latest achievement! Time goes so fast. Here’s to next 3! Beautiful yarn and definitely liking the garter scarf alongside it! 😘
Thanks! Time does fly!
Congratulations on 3 years! Wow, time flies. I think that yellow would be gorgeous for a hat. XOXO
Time really does fly! And, I agree, this color would make a fabulous hat!
Happy pod anniversary 🎉!!!!! Where has the time gone!!!! I will definitely knit your little garter stitch scarf!!!!! It’s so adorable!!! This yarn is calling me ❤
Thanks!
Happy 3rd anniversary and sharing your knitting wisdom and journey with us.
Love the golden yellow skein; the garter scarf would be fun. The moon-crush tank is unique/lovely 🧶😊
Congrats on your podaversary! That yarn would look stunning in one of your lovely garter scarves 😊
Thank you! 😊
Congrats on 3 years! I remember you showing that Icelandic sweater way back when you started. Do it! Finish it! It’s so good!
Thanks! I am so close to finishing that thing, like a button band away!!
Congratulations! I love the little scarf. I’d definitely knit it. Maybe I’d knit two! Keep up the good work!
thanks so much!!
Finally got a chance to watch this today - happy podaversary!!! 🎉 Can’t wait to finally hang out together next weekend!!!!
aww yay! Thanks for watching!! truly, I think our time (in less than a week now) is going to be epic!
I think a Comfort Zone would look awesome in that yellow yarn. Iceland is on my bucket list. I’m jealous
oh that would be fun! I'm very excited for Iceland next year! :)
Yea for your podiversary. I believe I have been watching most of that time. I found you during your vlogmas that first year!
I love seeing the sweaters/makes on your needles, so inspiring!
aww thanks so much for being here Diana! That means so much!
Happy third anniversary! 🎉❤ Have loved your podcast from the beginning! 🥰 So fun to see your beautiful patterns as you design and create them. ❤ Wishing you a super awesome rest of your summer!
That's so sweet! Thanks for the encouragement, that really means a lot!
🎉Congrats on your 3rd Podiversary 🎉
That yarn is so pretty & would look cute in the scarf pattern you showcased.
❤ Susannah
Thanks so much!
Happy Pod anniversary! Wow! 3 years is an accomplishment, lady😊💃🏻I love your makes. I would love to knit some socks with the mustard custard - what a fun name too!💛
Thanks so much!!! 💛
Happy Podiversary!! I love the idea of a small scarf or headwrap/band, and/or colorwork in a yoked sweater in that yarn.:) I, too, get bored with vanilla socks, unless they are self-striping (and even then I sometimes add a simple pattern).
I would absolutely make your garter scarf with the yellow yarn!! Your moon crush is going to look amazing on you!! Enjoy flock!!
aww thanks!
🎉well done on your 3 years. You are generous to give both a pattern discount and yarn giveaway. I’d make a shawlette with it.
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on the 3rd Podiversary. I, too, have a lot of unfinished sweaters floating around. They are at various stages of completion and I find I have to be in the right mood to take the next step. With it being summer I am happy to sit outside and do some mindless knitting with lighter yarns. I am looking forward to knitting fall sweaters. That cosmo cash yarn is lovely. The merino in the mustard color is gorgeous as well. I think it would work up nicely in the Little Garter Scarf pattern.
Thanks so much! Yes, maybe in the fall we will wrap up some of our amazing sweaters :)
Happy podiversary (not entering for the yarn prize, just wanted to wish you a happy podiversary!! It's no joke to stay on RUclips for years lol) !!!! So excited for your me-made outfit for Flock. You can do it!!!! I'm ALWAYS dream knitting. The queue is always going lol. The way I "organize" my dream knitting is each month in my journal/planner I write out what I would like to finish (if it doesn't get done, it just gets moved to the next month, no big deal) and what I would like to cast on with what yarn. This way things are written out and I know what I have on hand. Plans can always change but at least I have a starting point to go off of when my brain feels like it's in a million directions. Sometimes I'll swatch for a project way ahead of time so that it feels like I've cast on even if I haven't because I have other WIPs I would like to finish first. I'll put all the yarn and pattern printed out into a designated project bag and set it aside for when I'm ready. It's like a physical tangible queue if you will! Thank you as always for sharing all the things Nicole!!! Take care~Stephanie
I love the knitting journal idea a lot. I use a paper planner for MJ's schedule and also my academic life. It helps create peace in managing business and also helps organize my academic aspirations. I think it would help me to have a knitting journal or a part of my planner to start organizing my chaotic knitting dreams that seem to be all over the place!!
Congratulations on your 3 yrs! I’d use that pretty yellow yarn for my granddaughter and your Golden Hour Tank!
very fun!
I’d love to make the little garter scarf with that yarn. Happy podiversary
Thanks! :)
Congratulations on 3 years!!!! How exciting! Last night I started on Field sweater mohair and eco baby held together.
Thanks so much, Anna! And, that sounds like a really fun sweater!
Hi Nicole Sorry but my favorite of all to knit is plain no fuss socks. I can’t make enough of them for my knit worthy extended family. Happy to see you again.
No need to be sorry :) We all have different loves! I am glad a plain sock brings you joy, that's what it is all about.
Happy podiversary, 3 years ❤❤❤. Lovely mustard custard yellow yarn, I would make a ranunculus with that golden yellow color yarn.
Thanks!!!
Happy Podiversary!
It was lovely to sit and Knit with you today. I am SUPER interested in the Iceland class you will be teaching and the study abroad you are planning. I would've loved this as a class in college!
Hi there! Thanks for watching! Were you at Flock? I thought I saw you from afar and wasn't sure/shy. I will share the books we are going to read on here.
That Peppermint skirt is so cute! I immediately ordered the pattern! Jen Geigley Knits has a new episode showing a simple skirt she completed in a few hours. It's really cute, too, and she talks about her process of making it. Happy podiversary, Nicole!
Oh I need to watch that! Thanks for the recommendation! And, thanks for watching!
Happy podiversary! I took advantage of your kind discount and bought the Comfort Zone Shawl. I have Suburban Stitcher slub and mohair and can’t wait to cast it on! Too many wips, though. I so relate to your comments about having a long list of dream knits. One thing that helped me clear my head was to identify what garment or accessory I plan to knit with the yarn I have. Then I set up a queue in Ravelry. I arbitrarily listed them in order of preference. Once in a while I go in and rearrange the order. If I’m going to cast on a new item (usually a sweater), I pull out a wip that’s been set aside so that I try to finish something while knitting something new. It’s working, more or less, but there are a few too many wips!
That's a great plan! I have considered making a spreadsheet of yarn I have and intended projects! Thanks so much for purchasing the comfort zone shawl pattern. Let me know how you like it! :)
Congratulations on your podiversary Nicole! I wore your Celaena socks today and thought of you, such a fun pattern! I love that yarn and would definitely use of to your new garter scarf pattern! So fun!
Thanks for being around since the beginning, Aleksandra, and being a friend! Thanks for thinking of me and watching!
Congratulations on third Anniversary! I would love to make the Little Garter Stitch Scarf pattern offered. The yarn color is so beautiful.
Thanks so much!
Congratulations. I’ve been here since the beginning. I like your idea of the random pick to finish projects. I’m in the same boat with mine. I just started the golden hour tank for my granddaughter. It’s fun because I really love the yarn I really like the moon crush. Sure hope it fits as you want it to.
Thanks for being here since the beginning I really appreciate it. And, I can't wait to see how the golden hour tank turns out for your granddaughter. I hope she loves it!
Congratulations on this amazing milestone! I have been hanging out with you since episode 1 and I always love seeing what you are up to. I would love to knit your sweet little shawl design in that gold yarn. It is one of my favorite colors. As a teacher (who just retired in June!) I love how you describe the feeling that comes on August 1. I always described Sunday afternoons as having the "Schmondays". That for sure was magnified come August. Not wanting summer to end, but being excited about the new school year beginning.
congratulations on your retirement!!! whoo hoo!!! and, wow, thanks so much for being here since episode 1. that just means so much!! (thank you)^2024
Congrats!! I want to come knit on your porch! The lovely yarn would make a beautiful Little Garter Scarf. Lynn, Lynn
awww, Lynn, Lynn!!!! Thanks for watching :) Did you make it home ok? And, also I hope you found the best yarn and inspiration at Flock!
Happy Anniversary! Three years is amazing! I have always wanted to make a Soldotna crop, I have it on my wish list and I would use the yarn towards that. Congrats again!
This would be awesome yarn towards a Soldotna!!
Congrats on 3 years I would definitely want to make a scarf
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on the podiversary!
Most likely I would make a hat or socks, but it is possible that I would use it in a shawl if I have coordinating yarn.
I knit the majority of my first Love Note while in quarantine. It amazed me how much I got done during that time!
The only benefit of being sick lol :)
I think the gold yarn paired with a blue would look nice in a pattern. Thank you for the giveaway and discount on your patterns!
aww, you're welcome!
Congratulations on your anniversary! Great giveaway, too. I would knit your garter scarf or possibly a hat with the yarn. I miss Happy Knits also. It was my favorite yarn shop and Twisted, too. I go to Close Knits on NE Alberta St. now when I’m looking for yarn. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Twisted was great, too! I love Close Knits as well. That stop with eating at Bollywood is one of my favorites if it can happen on the Rose City yarn crawl.
Oh my goodness! Congratulations on three years. I've been here the whole time, rooting for you and loving the development. I want to win, and I want to make a cute little hat.
That means so much!!! Thanks for being here and the support.
Always wonderful to see you Nicole. Happy Podaversary! Love that yellow skein, I'd probably make a one skein shawl if I won, maybe the Changing Staircases by Trysten Molina. I hear you on the knitting dreams. There are so many things I want to finish and make and then spinning goals on top of it, there just isn't enough time.
I need to check that pattern from Trysten out. She has so many good ones. It's a beautiful thing that we have something we love so much!
Happy 3 year anniversary! I am planning a Penguono (it’s my ultimate dream knitting project) and I’m picking out pinks and yellows with little pops of teal, and I think that mustard color would look amazing in it! Congrats again!
ooo a Penguono! That will be epic with pinks and yellows!!!
Happy 3rd Podiversary!! I really enjoy your Podcast! Thank you for the giveaway and I would make your Little Garter Scarf.
Thanks so much for watching!
Congratulations on your 3rd Podiversary ! 🧶🧶🧶 Your Mooncrush Tank is beautiful. Garments with seaming are out of my comfort zone, but someday I hope to gain more seaming
confidence. 🙌
I would love to make a pretty Little Garter Scarf with the yellow yarn. Enjoy some last days of
summer ❤
thanks so much!! I am happy to report that I used the very pink knits tutorial on mattress seaming and the seams turned out so good. her tutorials are awesome!
and, thanks, I am hoping to enjoy the last few days before I go back for work meetings. :)
I can't believe it has been 3 years! It has flown by. It is funny you say you are ready for sweaters, I also am doing a test knit for a sweater because I was ready for one too! I don't usually knit for season I knit what ever strikes my fancy, I tried to knit a summer top but I knit the yolk too short and I have to rip it back and it is sitting on a shelf.. I knit your little garter scarf test and lots of socks and those have really filled my cup this summer. I have a second little garter scarf cast on in green as I am imagining it for fall. Take care.
Thanks so much for doing the little garter scarf test! It's about to be fall sweater time and I'm so excited for fall!
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary 🎉🎉🎉 thank you for hosting this giveaway! I would love to make the pattern you recommended. What a happy color!!
Thanks so much for watching! And, it really it a happy color!
Happy Third Podiversary! 🎉 I am so excited you’re going to Flock again! I hope to see you there! 😊 I completely relate to the dream knitting being way more than what can be done in reality! 😂 I like your idea of assigning projects numbers and using a random number generator to pick the next one, lol. I’m afraid I don’t really have any recommendations for prioritizing or picking your next cast-on. I have just been going with whatever I happen to be drawn to next…which works out fine, but definitely lends itself to a little more fragmented knitting / crocheting than I’d like overall.
Thanks for watching! I hope I will see you too. I think you will be easy to spot in that gorgeous hot pink sweater!
lol 😂 it is definitely eye catching!! 😆
Congratulations on three years. I’ve been with you since year one. I would love to use the yarn with your mini scarf pattern for my Christmas gift giving. Please take those of us who cannot attend to Flock with you.
Wow, thanks for being with me since the beginning. I appreciate it!
I’m excited to meet you and Melissa at flock ❤
I just saw this comment now! :) So sweet. And, let me tell you, it was such a delight to meet you.
@@professorpurl ❤️
I like vanilla socks so I can read, but a textured sock for all other sock knitting occasions 😂
I am so impressed by people who can knit and read!
Congratulations on your 3rd anniversary. Have fun at Flock. Ray and Kevin from Needles at the Ready podcast will be there too
I heard them talk about it on their podcast. I hope I run into them, that would be fun!
@@professorpurl get pictures if you do
Happy 3rd! 🌸 I totally forgot you were podcasting but have subscribed and I’ll be regularly coming back. Ha! It’s been great getting to know you over the year(s?)!
haha! :) Thanks so much Wendy!
I would knit your little garter stitch scarf with that gorgeous ball of yarn
Thanks!
Hello Nicole, from Swansea, Illinois.
Hi Janet! I hope you are doing well!
Ohh on the sock, I'm a plain vanilla person, because I forget where I'm up to with the pattern and I'm a slow sock pair finisher a bit like you. I am keen to knit another pair on DPNs to practice the skill and I think I'm ready for another sock 😂
Very fun! I am feeling the same way with magic loop.
Congratulations on 3 years. That was no,small feat! Thoughts on your skirt idea. Looking at the skirt patterns the pockets will add a visual bulk due to the length of your sweater. I like the fuller skirt--purl soho as that will add a softness to the slim lines of the Tank. Or another option would be a pencil skirt. Maybe too hot though? Too close to the body.
Anyway good to see your beautiful sweater moving forward. The yellow yarn would make the prettiest scarf. Mixed with mohair--maybe a white mohair to lighten the shade.
Everything is better with mohair, haha! :) I do hope to try one of those skirt patterns, fingers crossed!
I would match the yarn with some suri alpaca and make a really warm hat. If there is anything left over, I would make mitts.
Suri makes everything better!
Congratulations!! I would knit a one skein shawl. I’m not sure what pattern. 💛
little one skein projects are fun!
Congratulations 🎊 I would put it in another soldotna 🎉😂
How many Soldotnas are you up to now? 😂
Not sure I could wear yellow but it would be a perfect yarn for the little garter scarf. As far as planning knitting projects you have seen my spreadsheet but recently I have been just adding new things instead of working on old things. We should do a make for others knit along. I have 2 sweaters I should be making for others.
I need to start planning a make along again. I took a little break. I also should take a page from your book and start a spreadsheet lol :)
Congratulations, Nicole! Sorry to hear you had Covid and hope you are totally better! I'd use that beautiful golden yarn to make a shawl from The Italian Knitter. Have you ever listened to her podcasts?
Thanks so much! I am definitely doing so much better, though I still have fatigue. I have not watched The Italian Knitter yet, but I need to fit that in. I've heard amazing things!
If you find the secret to balancing all of the things you want to knit with the amount of available time you have, please tell me the secret! Same thing with balancing new cast ons versus finishing languishing WIPs. The GOOD NEWS for you is that my kids are currently 9 and 12 (almost 13) and its still cool when I make them stuff. The only downside is now sometimes I end up making their friends stuff too. Case in point, the hooded unicorn scarf I cast on yesterday for one of my older kiddo's friends. And the friends who do have hats and hoods I have made were them all the time. I hear from their parents about it. Its very cool. So all of that to say I don't think hand knits will become uncool for Matilda any time soon.
Congrats on your 3 year podiversary. If I won yellow yarn I think I would include it in some color work I want to do.
Back to time management, after spending all day working on the unicorn hood, I totally spend the evening trying to decide on a doodle stocking cast on...
I love it that your children still love when you make them things. Maybe MJ will be similar! :)
I use 2 16" circular needles, and that would solve the problem with losing the extra needle!
Indeed! I haven't knit socks that way yet :)
I prefer magic loop and 9” circs for socks because with DPNs and flexi flips I am always dropping a needle. I hate that!
This is also why I love the 9"s too!
have you watched the Yarn Randomizer podcast? maybe you would like how she randomly picks which yarn/projects to do next!
I have not watched that yet. But, she sounds fun!!
Check out Jen Geigley’s latest podcast, she has a really easy skirt pattern. Also, the first thing I thought of when you showed your pretty tank is that it is too small. I think it may have quite a bit of negative ease and as long as you don’t mind that it will be fine. but I have a fat belly roll and I am sensitive to that so I avoid sweaters with negative ease.
based on how it's measuring it's not going to have a lot of negative ease, but time will tell how it does with seaming and blocking.
