Thank you for sharing Fiona’s yarn! Your rugged cardigan is lovely.

What a neat idea! It will be fun to watch it come to be ❤

Hi this was my first time watching. I really enjoyed your finished objects and wips. The jumper you are wearing is beautiful. I like that you kept the video to 30 mins of content. I will have to go back and catch up . Thank you 🧶❤️

It was fun catching up on the projects in more detail! I'll have to let you know when my daughter starts on her Joji sweater coat 🙂

I want to hear about all of it! I so loved this episode and love all of your FOs and WIPs! Thanks for sharing, Jess. ❤

What a wonderful story of sweater and yarn choices, and also an inspiring yarn shop 💕 I love these in depth knitting discussions!

Really enjoyed this. I’m making the Foxberry tee it in wool as a winter top (I live in Cambridge UK) and I’ve just finished the yoke, but it was really good to hear about the shaping as I have a similar body type and I found your details helpful, thanks a lot. I’m inspired to knit a summer version in cotton now.

Hi Jess Really good first episode. I have only just found you so thought I’d start here and catch up. Love your sweater. I’m from Dorset in the South West UK. Mainly a garment knitter but am interested in the sock experiment. Thank you for sharing kindest regards Sharon

I bought the Daughter of a Shepherd yarn at Jill's as well! I do love it, but not so much the sweater I knit. It may get frogged so I can reuse it. Just found your channel and will admit to binging through them as I live just west of Kingston! Moved here last year.

HI Jess,,,,really enjoyed that,,,, Got me into finishing g my 2 hats on my needles,!!!and trying some new ones,,,Always wanted to do musselburugh,,,!! Love UR sweater,too,,, See u next time,,, Elaine🏘🏠🏡🏡😍

Your cardigan looks fantastic on you! Beautiful! Nice to see you again! Looking forward to what you didn't have time for this go-round 😊 Keep well!

Can't wait to watch!

Thank you for this wonderful podcast! I am currently knitting the Austfjord Cardigan, too, and am astonished on how fast it is knitting up! I am using hungarian karcag merino wool in a natural / undyed colourway, which contains a lot of lanolin. I am super exited on how the finished cardigan will look like! Greetings from Germany, Luisa

Best podcast ever!

I am truly enjoying all the information you provide! The information on sheep breeds is interesting. The information on yarn brands is enlightening! What a lot of research you must do. It's interesting to hear all this information. (I love Marce's channel. Her voice is so soothing and her introspection on her crafts has me considering my knitting so differently. Her more recent videos of her fitness journey is also inspiring.)

I really enjoy your sock experiment and how you are using scientific method to determine the durability of various yarns. it just shows that knitting, while a relatively simple to do craft, also is very complex. I'm glad I found your podcast and will definitely recommend it.

I love your Foxberry. I also test knit it and did mine in black. I absolutely love it, I wear it all the time. Same as you I don’t wear it with my jeans but wear it with skirts or my linen pants. 😊

That was a really great discussion about cotton!i look forward to watching more of your videos

Do you ever have problems with cotton garments stretching?

I knit and cut my first steeked garment recently. It’s a worsted weight woolen spun yarn, so I didn’t enforce the steek in any way. I don’t like the bulk of the folded over portion (it was color work in three colors, so very thick) so I am planning to needle felt right next to the picked up bands and then I will cut away all the excess fabric. The only thing I was worried about was not knowing if I would like the fit before I cut the steeks.

sorry I'm not going to be joining the great sock experiment but I'd like to share that when I started knitting my own socks I made five pair of black socks for work. that was in 1997. Yup, my sock knitted with Brown Sheep sock yarn has lasted over 25 years. I wash and dry them in the machine. They show absolutely no wear.

Love your tips, especially the Ravelry LYS road trip tip! I'll use that for sure!

I'm really looking forward to your videos and your sock experiment! I've been searching the last few months for a knitting podcast that takes a more scientific approach to knitting, and especially talks about fiber, and finally, I came across this video! I also love the outdoors and cooking, so I'm sure I will appreciate everything you include :) I am primarily a sweater knitter, but when I knit socks, I knit them two at a time with magic loop. When I knit one at a time on magic loop, I really hate how often I have to stop to switch sides. I much prefer dpns if I do one at a time. However, I don't like to travel with dpns, I frequently drop them, and it's no fun to chase a needle across a dirty bus floor or ask the person sitting behind you if they would mind picking it up! I don't do color work with TAT socks, though. I tried one time to do thin stripes of three colors, and I abandoned that project after knitting only two inches, because of how tangled the yarns became....and it's still a tangled mass years later!

LOVE the Hipster shawl too!!

Ha I just found you! Fabulous, right up my alley!! I am now inspired to start a sock log. Just completed my first pair of socks in 6 years...I'm on a roll!!! I have watched Ep. 7 for the cotton Foxberry Tee, LOVE it and your thoughtful tips on modifications, Thank you and I look forward to many more episodes! Darcy from Wisconsin

Plant based…I wish I liked the process but I just hate how my items look before blocking ( I scrutinize every stitch) and how my hands feel while knitting them. I mostly use Rowan organic cotton for babies and gift them so they are a quicker knit and the torture is over soon. The finish product is delicious to touch thou.

I have used Regia yarn also. It seems to be wearing fine. I soak my socks in wool wash and air dry.

I knit socks. Most of them are from dyers and are 75/25 fingering. Right now I’m making a pair with Cascade yarns, a 75/25 merino nylon blend that I wanted to try. I’m not liking it. It splits and (obviously) does not have a tight twist. Will not buy anymore of it. I do like Universal yarn Bamboo pop 55/37/8. Bamboo,cotton, PBT. Zauerball crazy is another good yarn. Farmers daughter is a dyer who uses Pinlter sock yarn also 75/25 SW Merino / nylon blend. Like the yarn. This is what I have used in the past few months. Hope it helped.

Soooo helpful! I’m absolutely going to heed your advise. Lately I’ve been “assigning” projects to mementos occasions kind of like souvenir knitting. So I’m intentionally assigning a project to knit on while experiencing events in my life. Ie. joyous gift knitting for new babies in the family or the sad death of my aunt I knit a beautiful lace cashmere sweater and now when I wear it I’m getting hugs from her. So I like the idea of traveling and purchasing souvenir yarn and when I finish that project it reminds me of the journey.

Thank you for including your beautiful photos and videos of your travels. I have such wanderlust and am patiently waiting to be able to travel. Absolutely in my near future but sadly not soon enough. Your approach to your knitting is so different than mine. I am enjoying listening to your thought process. Safe journey home.

Fun podcast! Thanks for sharing….

This episode struck a chord! I vastly overthink the way I was traveling (plane, train, car), my destination, length of stay, etc., and ALWAYS bring way too much because I was unrealistic in my production abilities and interruptions of life factors. You helped me become more succinct in my thought articulation to my brain! Thanks, Denise

Hi there, enjoyed this Video very much so. Look forward to your next one. Thank you

Congrats on your first podcast! The sweater you were wearing was so lovely. Can’t wait to hear more details! I have a tiny little knitting podcast too and I’ve enjoyed the process quite a bit! Rachel (Yarn=Joy Podcast)

How wonderful to have visited such lovely yarn stores. Here in UK had a bad experience when visiting a high end yarn store. The owners didn’t seem interested or helpful. Maybe they didn’t think we would be in the market for quality yarn. 🥺. Your sweater is lovely & the story behind it ☺️
