I never like to tell someone to frog, but West designs can be unnecessarilly complicated.

Love your podcast! Always excited to see a new episode :). Your handspun you are working on now (blue/purple/green) is gorgeous. If you'd like to destash, I'd definitely be keen LMK!

I love your Eva cardigan ❤. Beautiful color!! I really enjoy your videos and learn so much! Thanks!

The colour of your Eva cardigan is so beautiful! I'm the opposite of you right now....I have so many patterns calling to me right now! On the weekend I finally cast on a Sidsel Hoivik pattern. I've been wanting to do one of her patterns for a long time, so when she had a sale on her kits on New Year's Eve, I finally ordered one. Something I want to try this year is to knit an illusion shawl. Have you heard of illusion knitting? Try using the advanced search on Ravelry to have a look.

That colorwork is gorgeous! Love those colors with the mc you picked, wow! If there's any navy/mc/background within the colorwork you might consider the blue 4th option. Or even possibly use it for the edging/ribbing/bands as well, I usually go with my softest options for the cuffs, ribbing, anything that will be in close contact with my wuss skin areas lol

I do get knitting decision fatigue on occasion now and I think it has something to do with having a LARGE cache of great sweaters already and not really having a NEED for a new piece. Once I identify a colour or a style that I can see fitting in my wardrobe then I get that excitement back and it's easier to choose from my considerable stash. I picture the resulting outfit and then can't wait to get started! I do love your projects so I look forward to seeing what you decide to do with the next colour work sweater. I have both those Rachel Illsley patterns in my queue, too, along with some Spincycle Ghost Ranch for the CC. Always an adventure!

Love your Eva Cardigan, amazing color on you! For your Antique Filigree… and as a notorious Non Swatcher I can’t believe I’m writing this… maybe pick a small section of the colorwork and swatch with the 4 colors you’re debating? Could also try Stephen West’s wrap type swatch but I think a 6”d6” or so to try the pattern and see how the yarn plays might be a god kickstart and help you see the vision? 🧶 (p.s. I purchased the multi tool pen sets for stocking gifts at Christmas and they were a huge hit! Appreciate you sharing the list !)🧶Cher

The color of that cardigan looks fantastic on you. Love it!

Lauryl! I’m so sorry to hear about the accident and that you’ve not been feeling well. Maybe you’re right to think that a small project or two is what you need. It might just be that your brain wants something smaller and easier for a minute. Your pattern selections are always gorgeous, but they do seem like they require a little extra thought. Wishing you some rest and ease!

When I learned to knit entrelac ten years ago, one of the skills I picked up was knitting backwards. This is a great help when knitting entrelac as it eliminates the need to turn your work...a HUGE time saver. And so, for folks who hate to purl, you may want to consider learning to knit backwards. It's easy to learn and once you get into the rhythm of it, just as fast as your usual forward knitting. This may help you when you knit your next flat project (i.e. cardigan). 🙂

Hey Knitting Bestie! Have you ever felt knitting indecision? What are you currently working on? Let's Inspire each other 💕

I am stuck on the Yoke bc I can't visualize it at all but I think this helps omg I need to try again!

I bought the pattern and yarn for the f hoodie . I’m excited - it is very elegant

the Capucharpe is another free hooded scarf pattern!

Thanks! I'm a new knitter looking for a good set of needles. I probably need to get a better feel for different brands and types before I invest in an interchangeable set, but this is great information.

What we learn is that a pattern is a suggestion and must be adjusted to "work" with each individual.Good Job!

My favourite knit this year was the Franky Sweater by Sandnes Garn. Kind of a sweatshirt feel to it. Very cosy. Twisted rib might annoy some but I got through it. Cast on a second one this weekend! Enjoyed the video! I will cast on the White Mountain Light for sure.

It's so intresting how we are all different I loathe metal needles. They are too slippery. I prefer my cherry wood needles. Bought a whole interchangeable set. I use continental knitting style and I pick when I knit so I work close to the tip of the needles

Good video! I really enjoy hearing about what you liked after having some of 5he things for awhile. It's always easy to see the new patterns coming put and want to jump into them. I looked and I have like...187 patterns in my Rav library. I think everyone is in the same kind of thinking this year. What do I already have and is what's new really better. Yes...use your stash! And send me your scraps! J/K I spent the whole video taking apart my first ever knit sweater. I feel really positive about it. I cant wait to clean and prep the yarn to knit it up again. I think I might make a champagne cardi. What do you think? The yarn is Hedgehog. DK. I think the pattern has mohair but I dont plan to use any. My honest only concern is the button band. I've never done one and watched a few videos but am nervous. Maybe make a swatch and just test run it? I forgot about your white mountains....I think I'm going to make that my actual next cast on. Yours is Perfect! I would wear it to death! I am still at a snails pace on my No Limits. My no limits must mean no limit on the micromanaging and time til its done. 😂

I have to laugh about the Cumulus Tee and the very tiny needles; I have been looking for just the right pattern to use with some light fingering weight cashmere. I am going to bite the bullet and sign up for the tiny needle club. Every time I think that it is taking forever, I will remember your lament. As always I enjoyed your podcast.

Gorgeous sweaters! I enjoy watching you as it is always so much fun to see what you are going to knit and tips about patterns and books. Thank you!

Great episode. Love your style!

Always enjoy your knits. You definitely have an eye for modifications 😊 Happy Knitting in 2025😊

Great calculator hack, thank you!

I have yarn in stash to knit two hoods….i will be using Rowan felted tweed with a mohair to knit Hoodola , and I have Originally lovely, fluff to knit the Harris hood.

I love your 3 day sweater, especially the pops of pink fluff 💕 I have the Danish version of the book, and I’ve been eyeing this for a long time, but I have been very intimidated by the bottom up construction (and because I’m still learning Danish and the pattern is def more a recipe), do you think this approach could work with a top down, in the round construction? The Lærke Bagger in me says to just try it, the scaredy cat perfectionist is trying to get a way out of it… Would love your advice

Here’s a suggestion! You could try combination purling. You wrap the yarn on the purl side clockwise instead of anti-clockwise (which is the normal way). It’s easier on your hands. You do knit through the back loop on the right side though, so keep that in mind. It really helped me with a testknit that had loads of purling. Thanks for the calculator stuff, we’re going on a holiday in the UK, and now I can easily convert to euros! ❤

Thank you for the tip.

Awesome sauce! Thank you!

Omg Lauryl, this hack was new to me! I’ve had an iPhone for years and this is the first time I heard about it. I should be paying more attention to the tips feature in iOS, lol. Thank you for sharing! Also, your 3-day sweater turned out great! While watching this episode, I’ve been working on a shawl for my partner. 🩷

I def didn’t know about the trick, so awesome! Ty!

Thanks for the calculator trick

I love your podcasts and work. I especially love your energy and ability but to me the random holes look like a mistake.

You always pick such interesting projects, Lauryl! Can’t wait to see what you decide to cast on next, but I’ll vote for the Rachel Illsley. I cast on A Game of Croquet on New Year’s Day and would love to be knitting on one of her patterns at the same time that you are 🧶❤

Lauryl, your sweater came out so cute! It fits you perfectly. I love the colors and textures. I had no idea about the IPhone hack. Thanks for sharing! 🧶Heidi

I did not know that hack and tried it but my iphone is soooooo old (still have the home button on the bottom) it doesn't have that option 😂😂

Androids can do most of those things except currancy, bummer, but I do love the rest of what it does. I always forget about it, thank you for the reminder.

no idea regarding the hack. LOVE IT!!!!

Thanks so much for the calculator tip!!!

Great conversion tip for iPhone . I am always trying to convert cm to inches 😊

Might be fun for a beginner....

I am forever converting all kinds of things and am so happy to hear about this hack!

Thanks for the hack!!!!🎉❤🎉

I also did not know the phone trick, so much Googling time wasted on conversions. ❤❤❤thank you

'i love the idea for your newsletter. so, yes please!

Holy moly the conversion trick on the phone is incredible…..I can convert inches to centimeters 1x2.5 but the euros thing and everything else - like temp…..this is incredible!!!!!!!

Loved your version of the 3 day sweater, looks great on you ❤ also the calculator hack is awesome!

I just love your 3day sweater, and hearing all about it 😊. I checked my calculator on my Samsung android, I do have a number of conversion charts! ....not currency though. My husband has a Google Pixel android, and he doesn't seem to have anything. Take care. I know that my anxiety level is through the roof lately. When I mentioned it to someone, they commented that we should remember that throughout the history of the world there have been difficult, scary, anxious times, and people made it through. Somehow, it strangely gave me a bit of comfort. I think what can make it worse is that in this day and age, we are bombarded with images, misinformation, etc., with social media that we didn't have years ago. On a brighter note...I have two rows and an icord bind-off to knit on my Garter Marler and it will be done! I'm loving this sweater more than I ever expected to ❤
