    Hi, Taylor! Thanks for your videos, I appreciate your calm demeanor and love of natural yarns 😊I, like you, have wide/square shoulders and a small bust, so I avoid yoke sweaters. They seem best suited for sloped shoulders and rounder chests. But there are so many beautiful designs! I recently saw a recommendation to start the neckline for size 1, add a few short rows at back neck before the colorwork, increase stitch count to size 2 (or even 3) across shoulders, doing a few more back short rows after colorwork if necessary, and decrease back down to size 1 stitch count before separating for body/sleeves. I intend to try this method in 2024. I tend to add wrap-around short rows just after neck ribbing on all my top-down sweaters to make the sides of the neck snug in closer, otherwise with my wide shoulders I always end up with boat neck!

    Knitting on 4 pairs of socks that have no toes because I am a not-so-good finisher.
    Promised myself and another that I would not start something new until those are done! Thanks for the round up, love your throwback😍

    I love earth tones on you but I really love the Stephen West sweater on you. They are still earth tones but brighter. It is really lovely on you!

    For my shifty cowl, I only mattress seamed it up 1/2 way 2/3 of the way. It’s on my Instagram and FB pages both pictures of how it can be worn. I had the same issue as you with it. I wanted it lower on my neck and on your shoulders. It gets very cold in Dallas some winters. Especially when you lived in California for 25 years of your life. Merry Christmas.

    I think I'm going to cast on my Artus Shawl today. The KAL will include WIPs according to Natasja's newsletter, so I might get a jump on it. I'm very excited about my color selection. It's blue/greys and deep warm reds.

    Beautiful knits. I love how your cat is so interested and looks so lovingly at you when you speak. I have a couple of Stephen West patterns I want to knit in 2024. One is that shawl❤.

    Thanks for another wonderful episode 😊 I absolutely love your knitting and your handspinning is truly inspiring! 🥰It's so refreshing to hear your approach to Christmas! I'm watching from Perth Australia and it feels so silly to be celebrating a historic winter solstice celebration in the middle of summer here. So much pressure from society to celebrate and so many unhealthy expectations. Not to mention the environmental impact.

    Wow Taylor, you did a lot of big knits! I have plans for a Norwegian sweater from Rauma to cast on very soon. Finishing up a self drafted sweater I’m calling “Pink Caramel” that should be off the needles in the next day or two. I knit a few self drafted color work cowls for Christmas gifts too. Enjoy the season! Hugs, ClaudiaSJI

    omw i swear it looks like you even hand knitted your calico cat lol!!!! you do such a gorgeous job, thank you for being confident to step out and share it to us all :D! i would have done so myself years ago but i was horrifically hacked and they look for personal account information for quick grabs at cash and such. so for me it was not worth the risk, so i do much enjoy when folk like you are able to post what you do! i absolutely love it :) keep up the good work.

    Hope you all are having a good holiday so far. Know all about the cat treats.. mine ended up with some of the christmas chicken 🤣 Was good to get your thoughts on the shift cowl, I'm new at this spinning business and was planning on using my skeins for it. Had been wondering how it would sit and whether I'd wear it. We don't get the real cold temperatures where we are in NZ so just haven't been sure.

  • @jamiethrogmorton2540

    Wow, IMO cowls shouldn’t need effort to figure out how to wear them. Thanks for your honest feedback on the Shift (or Shifty?).

    • @TaylorOwen
      @TaylorOwen  7 місяців тому +1

      Right?! I agree! I think it is the Shift… I’ve always called it by the wrong name accidentally.

    I’ve knitted and crocheted for many years. Mostly basic cardis and pullovers. I’m not familiar with some of the yarns you mentioned, because I also used basic acrylic, wool, cotton etc. Could you put the names of the yarns used I. The drop down? I want to venture into mohair but don’t want it to itch.
    The non basic knitting I’ve done is one fair isle cardi, one entrelac pullover and one cable / fisherman’s cardi. I prefer top down knitting and I’m going to venture into yoke sweaters next . Oh I’ve also knitted 4 pairs of socks and need to up my sock game. I consider myself an advanced beginner, maybe an advanced knitter with issues 🧶
