    SO EXCITED to do my very first crochet project. Love how modern the cardigan is. I will for sure join a MAL and have a hope that you are going to attend ( or vend) at Flock FIber Festival in August. My goal is to wear my sweater and can imagine a Jethro Meetup ( a la Rhinebeck meetups on the hill ) I would be thrilled to help you organize and promote this. You’ve started something! I never liked crochet projects and now I am ON FIRE to start this one. Let’s keep in touch - i know of several people who are starting the cardigan and will have done by FLOCK. Congratulations and well done!

    Hi Tanis, thanks for such a wonderful pattern. I love the Jethro cardigan design. I purchased the pattern. I am done with all the granny square element. The next thing to do is to knit the sleeves and the button band. A KAL would be fun. Let me know if you are holding the knit/crochet along. I am going to make another one for my daughter. She loves rainbow too.

    Great design and lovely video. You are quite relatable and your passion for your art shines through. I am a confident crocheter and not so much knitter; but love to do both. Have always wanted to knit a sweater, so perhaps starting with sleeves and a border will be an easier task and better odds for success. Will be purchasing your pattern. A KAL would be fun but I will be starting granny squares regardless. Thank you for sharing your journey with this project. Very creative indeed and your daughter’s sweater surely reveals your love for her!

    I’m the person with the heavily modified City Limits. I am a big fan of your podcast, and I tagged you in the post on Instagram where you commented that it was cute. When I sat down to watch this podcast episode I was surprised and disappointed to hear how dismissive you were about that project in particular. Modifications I made to the pattern that I did not list in the Instagram post were changing the short rows, adding in my own sleeve decreases, adding a split hem, changing the raglan depth, reknitting the neckline twice and taking off 8.5” of length after wearing it twice. All of these modifications were to get the best fit for my body type - I obviously loved the look of the sweater which is why I knit it in the first place, I was just modifying to make it right for me. Overall, I thought this was a strange take to put into your podcast, and it was a bummer to hear as I sat down to watch with my morning coffee.

    • @tanisfiberarts1999
      @tanisfiberarts1999 5 місяців тому

      I'm so sorry about this. Your sweater is lovely and you made it your own, which is something that I'm always encouraging people to do. Please don't let my thoughtless comment affect the way you feel about it. I didn't realize that you had made additional modifications, but honestly I don't think it matters as the way I mentioned it was insensitive.

    Even though I do like surprises, I don’t order mystery advents.I’ve seen some that I would have been disappointed getting. Maybe you could post a link that people who wanted to see could click and not see by accident. I think I would still be surprised when I finally opened each especially not knowing which day each one was going to show up and colours are often different in person. Your new sweater is beautiful and is such a good fit.
