    I had to comment. I am watching older videos trying to catch up. I am knitting the Flax sweater and noticed I purled a row on the sleeve/shoulder where I should have knit, 3 rows down. I was using a regular crochet hook to go down the 3 rows and correct the garter stitch when you talked about the fix-a-stitch crochet hook. Thank you! I have a couple sizes of that hook and reached over to my dish that had my fix-a-stitch hook. It goes so much quicker!

    Great point about the importance of confidence. I really want the Drawing Sweater but the footwork was holding me back. I decided to pull out a couple of single skeins I have and knit a 'sample' of part of the yoke. It is really small, on purpose, but it has been a great way for me to learn about yarn management, managing longer floats and tension.
    Now my challenge will be the yarn. I am really sensitive to more rustic, non-superwash wools. I need to find something grippy enough for the colorwork that I will be comfortable wearing.

    Terrific video... I knitted a baby sweater in Uptown yarn. (pink sand colorway) What impressed me most was the "feel" of the yarn. The baby pattern had a peplum pleat on the bottom. I have never done that. From 100 stitches to 300 stitches.

    Love your episodes, you provide so much helpful information! I love all the yarn info your share each week. How many years have you been knitting? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!! I'm working on socks right now, circular 9" method. Nothing fancy, vanilla socks from Crazy Sock Lady. Purple and white yarn, it is quite attractive. You have added to my knitting joy!

Thanks sooo much for the podcast. Cardigan is almost done. Mostly self drafted and yes with a hood. I’m proud of having been able to figure that out.

    Hi Nancy, I’m from Attleboro Ma. I’m not far from you and would like to visit your shop soon. Will the commuter train get me close enough to your shop to walk from there? I I drive but a train ride would be fun. I’m working on my Rhinebeck sweater, which is Stratified from the worsted book. I’m using Barroco Lana for the yarn. It makes a nice affordable sweater.
