Love it! And a fellow Whovian…. I loved the Amy and Rory story arch. And River Song ❤

I love your videos ◡̈ thank you for sharing what you do!

I love the sweater!! Also loved hearing about your journeys to Tanzania and Alaska! ❤

Very enjoyable to watch. I loved your cats supervising the soaking of the sweater…so adorable!

I love the v-neck raglan -- great job freehanding!!!

I like to always sleep on my decision when I’m gonna buy something and if I wanna still buy it in the morning, then I go ahead❤

I love this episode! Your socks are too cute and really getting me hyped to make some shorties! Also I am putting my hand up now to test knit your gorgeous V neck!!! 🙋‍♀️ You said you wanted to level up your skills and you are killing it!

Congratrs on 2K! I love the tweedy socks. I have a skein of tweedy sock yarn that i was a bit nervous how it would look in socks but yours turned out great!

Summer=linen. Leggins? No.

Congrats on 2k! 🎉

Would def recommend stitching on a hook and eye on that wrap cardi - they’re lightweight and low profile

Congrats on reaching 2k subscribers!

Hi Sarah. I enjoyed hearing about your travels today. Feel better soon. Perhaps you could encourage participating in a Knit along or a Make along to build community. I think as people connect over a shared project. Anyway, I am enjoying what you're putting out.

Hope you feel better soon! I wish I could give that purple yarn a squeeze 😊

Congrats on your first design! Looks very nice. It was interesting to hear about your travels. Maybe give away a book to celebrate 2k subscribers? Or a pattern - don't think anyone does that.

I have to pop on and comment because I’m in a Celtic folk singing group and felt so excited when you mentioned Caledonia!! :) What a fun overlap in interests.

Oh my goodness, I’m moving to Colorado soon so excited love your podcast

Just like riding a bike :) Great first episode back 🎉 congratulations on the subscriber count!!

Thank you for this! I didn't know about the Tomato Girl aesthetic. It is a shame that you don't prefer red. I think you'd look great in a soft, neutral (but assertive) red. : )

Omg, finally... I've been looking for video that will not only list a few good patterns to knit, but rather has an actual topic attached to it... So happy that I found this 🌺 thank you, great content! Unique and inspiring 🥰

I had to watch this when I saw the title as I first started using the term "chicken coop core" a couple of years ago when my daughter moved to a small country town with some land and chickens and I began sewing and knitting her a chicken coop core wardrobe. Of course, she thought it funny when I told her that someone else is now also using the term. Thanks, great video and while I have made a couple to the patterns you have talked about, there are a few more I'd love to make

Me, a literal chicken girl, realizing this has always been my aesthetic.

Cutest tulip needle stoppers…i hunted those down right away to add to my supplies

Loved this! Such a fun video and so many gorgeous patterns to try ❤

Loved this video! 🍅❤ also may I shamelessly recommend my own pattern, the Eggcellent Vest? Would fit perfectly into the fun intarsia category ☺

I’m new to knitting (started in November) and have made a few beanies, a few socks, a sweater and I’m half way through a cardigan. I’ve never made a summer garment. I really love the look of the love letter top by Veronica Lindbergh. Her designer photos are so great. A knitting channel I watch just made it in red and I love how it looks, but whenever I watch people’s year in review videos they say how bad their cotton knits fit and how much they stretched. Lots of people seem to say they are done making summer garments and are going to stick to sweaters and cool weather items because they wear them way more often. I’m thinking of maybe using a cotton wool blend on a tank… anyways, I’m very torn if it will be worth it in the long run. The bralettes you shared might be a good low stakes, fast summer knit to try out some different yarn compositions. Thank you for this video. It was the first I’ve seen on your channel!

Just loved this!Thanks for another great video. I had never heard of the Tomato Girl aesthetic before and enjoyed learning about it. I like bright colors and love a pop of color cardigan. Everything Petite Knit does looks great on her. Just about everything I knit and crochet could be said to be for summer as I am allergic to wool. Just finished a silk shawl and about to begin a top down v neck vest in cotton.

I’m really enjoying the ‘Knit Your Aesthetic’ series! I think you do a great job at matching the patterns to the different key elements of each style even if they aren’t necessarily your own! I always come away with some inspiration for future projects!

I love the fact that you actually made something with that little skein! I never know what to make with the little skeins / am scared to 'waste' the yarn, so I end up not using my early spun yarn... I think you picked it up really quickly too, it definitely took me longer than a few months to learn to draft properly. (I'll also say that if you get a wheel or an e-spinner, practising on that will help you improve much quicker. At least it did for me! And it'll be much easier on the shoulders. Another option that's sligtly more affordable could be a supported spindle. You can spin that in a bowl on your lap or to your side, and draft sideways instead of up. Still taxing for the shoulders, but I find it a bit easier on my body. (Or even learning the medieval way with a distaff and an in-hand spindle, that way your shoulder doesn't have to go up at all!)

Once you get more consistent, you'll miss the days when you could spin think and thin. It's a hard thing to do intentionally

Smaller projects with your first skeins of homespun yarn makes a lot of sense to me. I imagine the learning curve is steep at the beginning. SO the next 40 yards of yarn might be s significantly different quality from your first 40 yards. Which is a good thing. Though it also means that using them in different projects might also be a smart plan. This is so inspiring! I'm started to weave and sew recently: I want to make my own clothing. I have considered learning how to spin, if simply to better understanding yarn and how to work well with it. Thank you for posting your journey! I'm a lot more likely to give it a try now! It seems like a deep and complex task at first. But the more you learn, the more simple and shallow it becomes. And the easier it is to make something of your own work!! I'm currently weaving s scarf for my niece, and I'm having so much fun with it too!

a few of my knitting group friends have started spinning and it's making me want to try it. it's amazing to see the progression from the first go to what you ended up with. one thing holding me back is that i have a lot of back and shoulder pain already from a chronic injury and i worry that spinning would aggravate it but i guess basic spindles aren't overly expensive so i could just give it a go.

Really enjoyed this, thanks. As for my own experience, the old joke would apply-that's why they call it a DROP spindle, heh heh. Someone showed me how once at a KIP event in the early 00's. I came home, waited a day, and could never spin again.

I feel like you can make whatever you want. It’s a hobby that’s meant to be enjoyable. For the size inclusivity….maybe just discuss it at the end when people have an opportunity to click off

Your cardigans look so lovely! This has made me really think more about the items that i knit and how I want them to fit, I also love having cardigans that i can also wear as jumpers :)

I totally get being discouraged by not getting done what you wanted to, but planning to make 7 FOs in 3 months, 4 of which are garments seems like a pretty high goal unless you are able to knit 40+hours a week. Having realistic goals definitely helps with not getting as discouraged!

Thank you for your video. You should 100% still knit the Twist Loop Top, it is beautiful. I think knitting is very personal and so you should focus on what you would enjoy knitting and wearing and not worry about whether the pattern is suitable for someone else. It is your personal knitting journey, do what makes you happy 😊 have a lovely summer!

Twist loop top is very beautiful and I don't know any similar patterns to recommend. My opinion is that most people will find the size for themselves and your podcast will be helpful. We can't be perfect both as knitting designers and podcasters, so if you like this top, knit it and enjoy the finished object. I will be knitting this top as well and I look forward to your FO.

It's hard to get used to a different (slower!) pace of knitting, isn't it! I find it so difficult! At the same time I'm happy I am able (again) to do more other things. 🌞

A lot of people seemed to have problems with the highest button on their eva cardigans. Including myself- I sewed it close.

I did a color analysis- I‘m a deep winter they told my - however I do not like that color so I go with deep autumn color schemes. 😅

I don’t worry that much about size inclusivity. Yes consider it, but you don’t need to be married to it. Grading patterns sounds hard, I don’t understand what goes into it, but I can imagine that not all designs would grade up as well as others. Supporting her and communicating with her would help her be able to afford grading/tech editing support for her patterns. XO love your patterns! Going outside is way more of a priority for me than knitting right now. Exciting you are coming to Alaska! I am in Anchorage. Will you be going to Cordova? Enjoy your travels and casual knitting!

Speaking of seasonal plans I'm way less ambitious. I'm working on one summer tee, anything else is a bonus. On the back burner I have a sweater that was my spring project but is now a fall project. Anything else is a bonus. I am considering what my next project should be though (maybe a cardigan)😅

This was such a fun video, thanks for sharing! I always keep some sticky notes and a pen in my notions pouch just in case I need to write something down.

Oh I love cardigans!! Your Eva Cardi looks especially great on you!! Would you mind me asking how much ease it has on you? I love the fit!

i don't have any personal experience with this but i have seen other people who have added a thread of elastic to the neckline of a wrap top to stop it from sagging open. maybe that could be worth trying and i guess it's reversible if it doesn't work.

Thank you for another great episode. While watching you I was knitting away on the last sleeve of a cardigan. Always interested in cardigans as they are more comfy than pullovers, and it's nice to see your choices and why you made them.

Chicken girl aesthetic is so fun! Loving all the pattern recommendations and I can totally imagine myself in a chicken coop, pottering around in these knits! 🐓 I feel the sudden urge to get some chickens 😂

This really resonates with my style. The colour palette and loose knitwear over dresses with hair back in bandana/scarf is always something I end up in. Don't know about actually handling chickens though lol! I think the Soiree pattern by Emily Foden would be perfect for this look. It's oversized, with casual rolled up edges and a very comfort focused style (but still looks so pretty). Other patterns I'm thinking of are the oversized Gentle Lopi by Melody Hoffman, Chaika (wide sleeve version) by Midori Hirose, Tahka Cardigan by Sari Nordlund and the Douglas Cardi (in muted stripes or even solid colour) by Andrea Mowry. The general look of Laerke's (Fiber Tales) patterns I believe fit this vibe too and especially her upcoming, yet to be released, new cabled cardigan. Nicely put together and great look to explore.

I feel like I'm having what I've dubbed a "frog boy spring/summer." Essentially, froggy colors (browns, greens, deep reds, etc.), and taking inspiration from frogs and their habitats. This is a recurring source of inspiration for me so I figured why not base seasonal knits on frogs? Should be fun!
