Congratulations on finishing the sweater in time! I like your sister's idea of filming her watching you! LOL Happy New Year and want to see what comes next! Rosie

I’ve just discovered your channel. I love your work - the Minou Cardigan in particular is incredible! Your sister is very very lucky. That colour is gorgeous ❤ Also, I really enjoy the way you explain the costs and costs per wear of your knits. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how much ££ we can spend on our craft. I think this will help me be more mindful of the quantity of items I knit. Also, love your glasses 👓 😘

I have been knitting for about 10 years. I have double digits projects on needles at all times(I also crochet) I finish 1-2 items per week. It is definitely something I think comes with time. As I watch your video, I just put down one fingering weight shawl that I finished a section on, and picked up another. 😂 Various stitch patterns, needle sizes and difficulty(including tearing back to fix) , can make one project need a timeout for time purposes and /or mental break. I do have knitting with me at all times. literally everywhere I go. So I need different projects to fit the situation.

Thank you so much for touching on that weird painful finger situation! It happened to me recently and it was the absolute worst lol

I always slow down the speed. Only way I can watch your podcast. 😂😂😂

i ALSO tried and tried to find the & other stories squiggle sweater secondhand and couldn't! what a great idea to knit one yourself!!

I’m sorry for encouraging shenanigans…but your sister’s comments are everything! 😂

I've watched several of your videos now as we are in a winter weather drama where I live and apart from the fact that you remind me of my younger quirky self, I've come to really like your resilience and sticking to your projects even if they are expected to be long-term or challenging. I know people knit for different reasons, but I just can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone who is willing to go into more complex projects (and also be funny about it in a very intelligent way). 🙂 so just keep going

Can I recommend Breathing Yarn, she is amazing and such a cool chill vibe. I love her.

I'm so glad you finished the cardigan for your sister! Two months for it is really fast, especially considering all the cables and the texture. My favourite here is the Fausta, which I'd like to knit as well. But overall, you're great with picking colours! It's so nice to watch a podcast with no beige! As for my favourite knit of 2024, I believe it was my Noelle Blouse, which I tested for Fabel Knitwear. I'll be talking about it (and other tests) in my next video of the knitting channel I just started 😊

Knit socks in any yarn you want! Non super wash does felt with wear. You can knit extra length in. And you can also just add a strand of nylon or silk to reinforce the fabric. I knit tons of socks with superwash and 💯 wool and even cashmere. I enjoy them even more when they felt a little. Maybe look into a tube sock situation and knit extra length? Idk, but I love your videos!

Oh my goodness I'm not sure how I missed this mention! Thank you so much for including my channel and I'm so honored that I could provide a little inspiration for your own channel. What a great list to be included on. Thank you, thank you again and apologies for missing this! Wishing you all the best in 2025. 💕🥲

For future reference on the cascade they have had mislabeled superwash in other colors and yes you should contact them directly because they will 💯 make it right! We live and learn. ❤

Love the time and attention you put in to figuring out your cost per wear. Brilliant!! Happy New Year, Ali! Hope it’s great 😊

It seems if they put "wool" on the declaration you pay duty but if they put "yarn" you don't. At least that's how its been for me.

I used to feel silly getting solids from indie dyers but I realized one of the benefits of indie dyers is the vast color selection it opens you up to! They create so many unique, or on trend, solids that big brands just aren’t doing! So no shame for splurging on that winterfell

The. Stockings are no longer available 😢

I was thinking you could knit a tube that could slip on under the fingerless mitts, cover the fingers you want covered, and still use the fingerless mitts as fingerless . Or something that goes around your palm with the mittenlike part. Again to go under the fingerless mitts. Good luck. Happy New Year.

If you wanted to make the Tekla top again, you could do some short rows at the back hem to even the length out 🤷‍♀️

I find the amount of dog hair is affected by the time of year rather than the yarn. My border collies blow their coats in late autumn and again in late spring. This coincides with peak dog hair issues for me, regardless of the yarn I'm using. Thank you for your videos, they are always good fun and excellent value as you squeeze in twice as many words per minute than a standard youtuber. Looking forward to seeing your knits, mugs, and book recommendations in 2025 ❤

We need a “Saga” count for how many times you say it. I’m always like WAIT… hahaha I still can’t believe you pulled off the cardigan for Kim but it’s so amazing. How do I get my knits to look as professional as yours??

If you're looking for another dating show, I HIGHLY recommend the Australian Farmer Wants a Wife!!! It's SOOOOOO good hahah

You’re so lucky I was busy and hadn’t watched this video yet, what a spoiler that would have been 😂

OMG just got to the selfie I sent you 😂😂😂 maybe would have taken a clearer shot if I had realized it would appear in a video. In hindsight I probably should have assumed 😅😂

Excuse me. You wore my gift before giving it to me?!? Bahahaha

I’m dying at these progress pictures. I would have loved the 3/4 sleeve crop cardigan too 😂😂😂

Really appreciate that my cardigan did not come with a Cooper fur trim 😂

Wait a minute. My cardigan doesn’t have buttons on it does it? I gotta go look in my closet now. Also a size 3?! I like knitting sizes. Sounds slim 😂😂😂

Maybe I should film myself watching your videos… does anyone want to watch Ali’s sister react to her?! 😂😂

You forgot that this “Tekla” started as “the blouse”

For my next gift I would like a floor length no frills cardigan thank you

Also sweet mug

Looks very bright. Did someone really cool buy you a fancy new light or something? 😂

Hi Ali, Happy New Year! I think that the project I most liked this year was my ranunculus. I used a silk from a local indy dyer and it took only 3 skeins.

Have you considered starching the button band on the No Frills?

Hi Ali! I watch a lot of knitting podcasts and just wanted to let you know that yours is one of my favorites... ❤ I hope you have a great New Year and look forward to your videos in 2025.

I actually gasped when you said you had to undo the button band on the 22nd. The cardigan is beautiful and such a stunning gift. You and your mom look so alike. What a wonderful budget for a year of knitting. Happy New Year 🎉! Happy knitting 💚🧶🩷

I love the fit of your Fausta, and deep teal is my favourite colour! I keep getting distracted by how much I love your jeans too, to the point I bought some similar after watching your no frills cardigan compilation. Also I was so invested in you finishing that cardigan, glad you got it done!

please update us on the trigger finger mittens for canadian winter situation once the temp dips! :D. also- that no frills cardigan slaps!!!

I got myself a Maker shirt for Hanukkah and it’s even better than I expected. My computer is now also adorned with an adorable sticker. I’m the cutest thanks to you! 🎉

For another pair of dog walking mitts, try the Point Edwards Mitts by Fairlight Fibers. They are customizable on the arm and fingers, with no detachable parts, but full finger coverage.

Hi Ali! You have such great integrity behind your knits. As a Canadian, consider adding a Land Acknowledgement to your introductions. I don’t see anyone doing that on here. It’s a great opportunity to pause and consider this beautiful land we are privileged to live on, seeing as wearing knits is so connected to being in nature.

your cloudbow is the perfect board game night top!

So many gorgeous projects! As much as I don't like PK, I'm really inspired by your yellow No Frills Cardigan 💛 I have yellow yarn to make a normal length cardigan, but I have some stunning electric purple mohair to make a Duster Bunny by Beata Jezek / Hedgehog Fibres to make myself a maxi length cardigan 💜 Do you mind me asking what portable mic you're using for your video? The sound was excellent! The Tekla top would look SO cute over a white long sleeve tee 🩵 my 03 Rib Cami, which was my favourite thing that I knit this year, I finished in November 😅 and I've found so many ways to layer it since then because I was so excited to wear it! HHF Budgie is such a sweet colour and it looks SO pretty on you!

One thing that helps me justify my yarn costs is not necessarily “cost per wear” but “cost per project length” - knitting is more about enjoying the process for me and if I divide the cost by the amount of time I spent knitting with it I feel like that’s a more accurate measurement of MY enjoyment at least 😉 Happy New Year and happy stitching in 2025!

One year I gave my my husband the pieces of a sweater wrapped up with the picture of what it would look like when I finished it 2 weeks later. He still chuckles about that everytime he puts it on. Your sister's sweater looks gorgeous - love that colour.

I wonder if jewel tones would satisfy your brightness love and pair well with your yarn?

I get the stabbed in the finger thing too!! I think mine is bc I use hiya hiya sharps 😭😂 but I ended up getting a leather thimble off Etsy for it, life saver!

Speaks so fast. It enough time to make notes

Lovely knit #hooksandneedlesresolution
