I love the idea of a two-fee pattern. Thank you so much for designing with more affordable yarns in mind. Sometimes a good Joann's yarn project is fine! 😂
Hello and thank you so much for this new episode! Your projects are very nice and attractive and I'm dreaming to knit the Cherry Blossom sweater, is so feminine and gracious! Thank you again, I wish you inspiration and succes, you are so kind and talented! 😊🤗❤
Love your podcasts, love the cherry blossom sweater and the mock cable cardigan, I’d do a join pattern, I like having a versatile pattern. You are so entertaining and clever too,thanks for sharing look forward to the next one. 🧶💕🐈⬛
I would love to see both cardigans in one pattern .. I’m thinking it would allow knitters to see that their knits can be changed / customized… I absolutely ❤ the cherry blossom sweater …please throw my hat into the ring to test knit that one !!! I’m with you on the Maine thing !!!! lobster 🦞 sweater for sure !!!
I adore that mock cable stitch! I would love to knit either the cardigan or the pullover for you. But I am a pretty standard size and I bet you'll get tons and tons of applications for the test knit.
I just came across your channel and I love your content. I would love to knt the lae cardigan whenever it's ready. I have been coming back into my knitting era and I want to knit all the things. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content
Love the Beach Side Cardigan! I think the two in one pattern is a great idea. For a newer knitter or someone wanting to check fit- knit the stockinette first, for others go for it. I adore that mock cable ! Wondering if I could use a slightly lighter yarn weight in same gauge for an airier fabric - I live in NC so worsted would be just too hot. Would love to test knit depending on due date. 🧶
Those mock cables are gorgeous 😍 If the stitch counts are the same, i dont think it would be too overwhelming to have them in one pattern. If that lace is changing the gauge and therefore the stitch counts, i think it makes sense to separate them
I love the mock cables. Gorgeous! But the plain one definitely gives beach vibes. I think both on one pattern if it's only the stitch pattern that changes. I'd definitely buy it.
Such nice cardigans ! Definitely do a two in one pattern if you feel up to it, when it really is a similar construction with a twist on the pattern I do have to say I love having options in a pattern !
I love patterns with options because I am not super experienced so I usually do a pattern the first time with less wonderful yarn and then knit it again with dream yarn and all the changes and corrections from my mistakes. I love the Creabea patterns because they have so many options and I can progress and learn. The mock cables are so nice and I would love to knit them. I am using knit picks cotton merino now and I really like it. It’s DK or heavy DK and has been great for me.
Hi, Love your podcast! The all over mock cable cardigan is gorgeous! I'd love to be a test knitter for this pattern. Thank you for all you share with us. 😃
I would love to test knit the mock cable version. Especially if you are looking for a plus size/not overly experienced knitter. I have only been knitting garments for about a year.
You are so entertaining, haha! And also such a talented knitter. I may knit the lace cardigan when it's all ready to go. Looking forward to your next video!
I would make a swatch to test steeking first especially with a blown yarn, I had a similar sweater body issue but I couldn't get the yarn to grip itself properly. In the end I stuffed the sweater body with filling and turned it into a cat bed so I could still enjoy looking at it.
I would love to test knit for you. I have been looking for a good cardigan (that stays up on your shoulder). In my opinion, since one cardigan is stocknette and the other is a lace design, I would keep the patterns separate. By the way love “ Knitting for Olive”, and they do have a DK version called “Heavy Merino “.
First, no guarantee this will be my only comment because I'm not even 8 minutes in and I'm already sure I'll forget if I wait until the end to say the things. 1. Love both of the cardigans! There's nothing more versatile than a solid color all stockinette v-neck cardi. And the faux cable one? I'll be needing one of those to be sure. 2. I'd be thrilled to test knit either of them. Tell me where to sign up! 3. I've crocheted since I was like, I don't know, 8? And my grandma always used acrylic, so I always used acrylic. And for some reason, when I crochet, I still tend to lean into acrylic or acrylic blends. Ain't nothin' wrong with using what you can afford/feel good buying. 4. When I first took a go at knitting (many false starts), I started looking at different fibers, and the first non-acrylic yarn I fell in love with was Juniper Moon Farm. Love. Love. LOVE. I've not tried their cotton, but it sounds like I need to. 5. Though I LOVE a great deal on a pattern with multiple options, I personally would prefer two separate patterns because the look is so different. Maybe sell them individually, and then a bundle of the two at a discounted price? If it were short sleeve with a long sleeve option, that would be one thing. But the pattern difference is so striking, I do feel like it's two different sweaters, and you should get compensated as such. 6. That tank is amazing, and it's going on my list. OMG, the FIT! 7. Though I'm not from Maine (California girl), I've lived in Maine for 8 years. Yes, to the lobster sweater. Yes, blue lobsters are a thing, but ridiculously rare, which makes your yarn choice even better IMHO. Keep doing what you're doing!
For a thicker, lovely soft cotton yarn, I suggest Juniper Moon Farm: Cumulus. Ghe name says it all. It's the softest, squishiest yarn ever! It is 94% Israeli Mako Cotton and 6% Nylon, Worsted weight yarn.
I am sorry you didn't like your previous Ester sweater, and had to take it all apart but tbh, I've seen several sweaters knitted from yarns with different textures and compositions than the original sweater is, and it just never looks good. The original yarn just seems really light and gives enough space to the pattern to breathe. With heavier yarns, the result usually gets way too heavy on the eye, and I guess even to wear, especially if it's a cotton blend.
Hi Lillian. Loved your podcast thanks 🥰

Amazing thank you!!
I literally gasped when you held up the white lace cardigan ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh wow I love the mock cable. I would love to test knit ❤
Test application is linked in the description of my newest episode!!

Oh you totally could do a lighter garment! I think is would look so elegant and airy!!

I have really been wanting to do a cardigan, I'm loving the lace cardigan short sleeve for the summer. Separate patterns would be great!

Yes that’s totally what I was thinking! Have a practice version with stockinette and then the option to branch out!
I would DIE to test knit either of these! As a pattern buyer - I’d prefer 2 separate patterns.

We all need a lobster sweater! Please design a pattern for us 😂

Omg I love all of this thank you sm!! AND thank you for the lobster fact checking :)
did you end up finishing the ester? It looks so nice with the yarn you chose
For a thicker, lovely soft cotton yarn, I suggest Juniper Moon Farm: Cumulus. Ghe name says it all. It's the softest, squishiest yarn ever! It is 94% Israeli Mako Cotton and 6% Nylon, Worsted weight yarn.
Check out the Lobstah Sweater by Whitney Terrell! It sounds similar to what you're describing with a lobster colorwork yoke!
Ooh I definitely will!!
