I'm not really an accessory knitter but that bag is so incredibly professional looking. With the quality and finishing it looks like it could be a very expensive store bought item! 👏🏼
Your crochet bag is fabulous! To make the base sturdier and help the sides sit more upright, I use a Tupperware container that's the same size but not too deep, or even cut a big laundry detergent bottle down and put that in so that the bag bottom doesn't roll inward when loaded
Brilliant. I use plastic canvas cut to size for stability. I’ll save that for odd sized/shaped bags/baskets but I’d love something smooth, and ALREADY DONE whenever possible. Thanks! 💜
The Mara scarf would look beautiful in that yarn! I made the Mara earlier this year and really enjoyed the pattern. It is a good way to use up the whole skein - if you weight the yarn first, you can knit the increase side until you've used up half, then work the decrease side with the rest.
I use a balloon to “block” my knitted hats. Just put a regular sized balloon inside the damp hat and blow it up to the size you want it to be. Love your podcasts!!
For a bag base, you can also use corrugated plastic. I find it at my local art supply shops, but sometimes yard signs are made of this stuff. It is lightweight but doesn’t buckle (like corrugated cardboard) and can be cut to shape. It would be easy to rough cut a rectangle, then with scissors trim away the corners until they fit the oval shape of your bag. And a sheet isn’t very expensive at all. HTH!
Peer Gynt is probably my favorite yarn, it's makes the best sweaters. I already started wearing mine as a jacket because it just so terrificly wooly, waterproof and warm but airy. LOVE IT
Oh I just love that colour of the wall behind you. I realize this is a dumb comment to leave instead of commenting on all your lovely knits, but it was so stunning.
Congrats on 2 years!! I believe I've been watching you from the beginning and your are one of my favorite podcasters. Really love your content. Can't wait to see all your fall/winter cozy sweaters!
As a new knitter, it was really interesting to hear literally everything you had to say in this podcast. I feel like I learn so much with every video of yours I watch.
As usual, your projects are all beautiful. But I was especially impressed with the crocheted bag. It turned out wonderfully. I love the leather handles with it.
Love all your finished objects and absolutely loved the bright blue yarn, can’t wait to see what you make out of it. I think the new free pattern La Rentree by Sonder Yarn Co. would be glorious in that color. Looking forward to see you soon.
Just love that every day sweater on you! A few years ago I was in Boston for three days between two trips to Rockport and I did my own self prescribed yarn crawl through Boston! It was so fun. A knitters dream.😂
I’m planning to go to a couple of the shops in the greater Boston yarn crawl tomorrow. Most of the shops are further than I want to travel, but the Needham area isn’t to far and I love that I can go yarn shopping on a Sunday. I really love the bag you made! The handles make the finish so professional.
Thank you, Amy, for another fantastic video. I love all of your makes, and I really enjoy hearing what you have planned for your acquisitions. I don't know if you remember when I mentioned on one of your Instagram posts about the trouble I had knitting the Boho Blush shawl by Andrea Mowry, I ended up frogging it about 8 times in total because I just couldn't understand how to do the various patterned sections. Well, after putting about 5 lifelines in, I am pleased to report that I have almost completed the shawl! 🎉🎉 And I'm so proud of myself. My knitting this pattern was first inspired by you when you knitted the pattern. Keep up the great work, Amy, because you inspire so many of us. 😊🥰
Congratulations on your podcast anniversary Amy! I still remember the first video you posted , I was so excited to see a left handed knitter making such an informative podcast! Your Amy sweater is gonna be so good, Love good deep chocolate shades. Thanks for another video!
Happy Anniversary for your channel! 🙌 I think the Totally Tubular Turtle Tank will be my impulse cast on as well, I have some chunky leftover yarn that would be perfect for it. So as always thanks for sharing!
I would like to suggest that you line your purse with cotton fabric to stop the stretching. It is easy to do. I don't think starching it will be as effective.
Amy I’m loving all of your projects! I’m also making the Ingrid sweater right now out of Peer Gynt and I’m obsessed. The yarn is so bouncy and squishy!
The green beanie is a gorgeous color on you! Also, thanks for sharing the technique for altering the length in your finished sweater, I may end up trying that soon.
That sweater surgery was impressive and I learned something new! I tend to just undo work to fix things but maybe I can be brave in the future and try more daring fixes. Also, love the bag with the leather handles! It looks way more polished to have those leather handles. I think I’m going to have to make at least one of those bags for me!
You have been knocking out so much knitting! And oh man I am trying to finish my KFO pure silk Project before casting on a new one but that turtle tank has me all ❤❤❤.
Love all your knits, thanks for sharing💕💕💕Congrats on 2 years💕💕💕

I’m in Copenhagen for the weekend and just got some Sysleriget Merino Singles to make a Monday sweater for myself, also with a mohair 😊 loved the podcast, thank you!!
Your new Ruby & Roses yarn is gorgeous! I think it could look really great knit up into the Big Rib pattern (JessieMaedDesigns). And happy YT anniversary!
Now I have the Invisible String song stuck in my head 😂 I recently finished the Mara shawl/scarf, but knit it for a store sample so it’s not mine. I probably will make another one for myself. Happy Anniversary!
so glad you like the juniper moon farms yarn bc I have two sweater quantities in different shades of that same yarn!!! now I’m thinking of moving those projects up in my queue lol
It seems that your Everyday Sweater was made with a carded yarn. This type are transforming a lot after blocking. I have to do 'sweater surgery' with similar yarn too. Thanks for all the tips how to do it in a better way! :)
I feel the same way about picking up stitches 😅 I like how drop shoulders fit me better but I prefer how the sleeves are mostly live stitches in a raglan or circular yoke
I am busy knitting the Salty Days sweater from Kutovakika, which has a similar look to the Ingrid sweater. I am a fairly new knitter, and I am able to cope well with it, due to her video tutorial. Do you think the Ingrid sweater would be manageable! 😅
I think the Ingrid is manageable! I’m knitting it now and even though I’m newer to knitting texture I find it easy to follow. I was a mostly concerned about the mock cables but she included really easy instructions on how to do them and I was able to memorize them pretty easily.
FYI There is a podcaster named Olina and her show is called the Norwegian Knitter. She made her Ingrid sweater in a poppy red and it’s gorgeous. She dedicates 3 episodes to her process of knitting it. They were posted 4 months ago in May. She does have an accent but I am able to understand her easily.
I totally agree with the fluffy yarn prediction! I am also part of the group that is buying and using those fluffy yarns! I am currently working on a Nebula by Andrea Mowry with the recommended Oh Dang! DK from Farmer's Daughter Fibers, and I just bought sooo much Drops Air since Wool Warehouse had a 30% off sale
I LOVE that green hat. I have some peer gynt in a similar color that I got by accident (ordered a sweater quantity of double sunday and somehow a peer gynt got mixed in 😂) that I was thinking of making a hat with.
Thank you for the great information and the link for the pin hole co. When you talk about 16 in circulars that you used. Is that needle tip to needle tip or is that just the size of the cord you used. I get confused with that. Thanks😂
Your bag looks better than the original. Good call on the handle. We are about the same size, do you think I should do a size smaller on the o neck? Congratulations on two years.
I did the suggested size based on my full bust circumference and I like the fit! Going smaller would give closer to 0" ease. If that is what you're going for I think it's also a good option!
I hear when you add the collar, it pulls up the sleeves, so would you add the collar, and block, and try on, Before adding the sleeves ..to avoid possible shrinkage of the sleeve length , to save time and be most productive in your knit 🧶? 😊 thank you in advance for your expertise.
hello! so im also knitting the Amy sweater in Peer Gynt! I did a gauge swatch and mine didn't get softer with blocking it got fuzzier and I think kinda itchy and rougher.... since you experienced the opposite, what did you do to your swatch to make it softer? how long did you soak it what temperature water all the details please
The beanie is really cute on you! I would suspect that the issue with the crown is likely due to the superwash nature of your yarn. I’ve learned this through experience and have since stopped knitting with any superwash fibers. And there’s the chemical treatments used to achieve washability and the environmental impact.
I'm not really an accessory knitter but that bag is so incredibly professional looking. With the quality and finishing it looks like it could be a very expensive store bought item! 👏🏼
Your crochet bag is fabulous! To make the base sturdier and help the sides sit more upright, I use a Tupperware container that's the same size but not too deep, or even cut a big laundry detergent bottle down and put that in so that the bag bottom doesn't roll inward when loaded
This is the smartest idea! Thank you! I'm be trying this for sure!
Brilliant. I use plastic canvas cut to size for stability. I’ll save that for odd sized/shaped bags/baskets but I’d love something smooth, and ALREADY DONE whenever possible. Thanks! 💜
Yes! You motivated me to make one. My daughter loves it so I am going to give it to her and start another one. 💕
That's a great idea!

Brilliant!
That ruby and roses soft rose invisible string yarn looks exactly like a pigeon to me! I love that :)
For a bag base, you can also use corrugated plastic. I find it at my local art supply shops, but sometimes yard signs are made of this stuff. It is lightweight but doesn’t buckle (like corrugated cardboard) and can be cut to shape. It would be easy to rough cut a rectangle, then with scissors trim away the corners until they fit the oval shape of your bag. And a sheet isn’t very expensive at all. HTH!
It's called coreflute in NZ - hopefully it has the same name in the US
Peer Gynt is probably my favorite yarn, it's makes the best sweaters. I already started wearing mine as a jacket because it just so terrificly wooly, waterproof and warm but airy. LOVE IT
Same!!! I have knit several sweaters in it and they are always my most reached for sweaters to wear.
Oh I just love that colour of the wall behind you. I realize this is a dumb comment to leave instead of commenting on all your lovely knits, but it was so stunning.
Thank you! It means a lot haha, I picked out the paint color and we did the painting ourselves!
As a fellow Massachusettsan, I really appreciated the "wicked hot" lol!
Thanks for showing your sweater surgery! Actually gives the confidence I could do it! : )
Congrats on 2 years!! I believe I've been watching you from the beginning and your are one of my favorite podcasters. Really love your content. Can't wait to see all your fall/winter cozy sweaters!

Thanks Amy for all of your practical advice and sharing your knits and crochet projects! I love watching you!
You finish each project beautifully. I'm not sure I could make Kitchener stitch so invisible. The bag is just gorgeous!!!
As usual, your projects are all beautiful. But I was especially impressed with the crocheted bag. It turned out wonderfully. I love the leather handles with it.
Everything is so beautiful. That Ingrid sweater is stunning, can't wait to see it done. Congrats on two years.

Great video :) can’t wait to see the yarn crawl footage! I wish there was something like that in PA where I am from 🥲
Absolutely love that you're knitting a sweater with the same name as you! And the brown is beautiful!!
Thank you!

Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary 🎉. You always have great content.

Great job on the sweater surgery! Your Éze Basket Bag looks great. 🧶 Love the color of your Ingrid Sweater and Musselburgh Hat. Congrats on 2 years! 🥳
Thank you!
Love your crochet bag. It looks fantastic with the leather straps! 🤩😍🤩
Ruby and roses’ wool wash after dyeing is soooooo yummy. Love it

Hope to run into you crawling this weekend! I won't be at all 14 shops, but I'm trying to hit up 6 or 7. :)

You totally should!

Love those blue walls!
Thanks!
Loved it all! Your skills and enthusiasm match! 😊
Great explanation/visuals of sweater surgery! Thank you.
Your bag is very nice. Loving the sapphire sweater.
I think you will absolutely stunning in that dark chocolate colour. You make me want to get my colours done too!
I just started my Eva cardigan in Peer Gynt last night. So far I love it.
A bottle holder is a brilliant idea!

@@taylor.m.24 I appreciate it. Thanks so much
I also was intimidated at first but the Ingrid Sweater is really so much fun! You‘ll manage also as a new knitter. The pattern is very cool. 🙂

@@donnarossignol5695 thanks so much
Can tell you firsthand that suburbs/Boston area old home cold is a cold like no other! You'll definitely get good use out of your sweaters!
🥶 can't wait for winter! haha
I totally agree with the fluffy yarn prediction! I am also part of the group that is buying and using those fluffy yarns! I am currently working on a Nebula by Andrea Mowry with the recommended Oh Dang! DK from Farmer's Daughter Fibers, and I just bought sooo much Drops Air since Wool Warehouse had a 30% off sale
Your crochet bag is absolutely beautiful 🌰🍂🍁
I LOVE that green hat. I have some peer gynt in a similar color that I got by accident (ordered a sweater quantity of double sunday and somehow a peer gynt got mixed in 😂) that I was thinking of making a hat with.
Love the Eze bag with the leather handles!
Such brave sweater surgery 😮

Love your background color.
Thank you!
You should try Lamb & Kid Mho Mho in the color way Pitch for your Sislerget yarn sweater.
I hear when you add the collar, it pulls up the sleeves, so would you add the collar, and block, and try on, Before adding the sleeves ..to avoid possible shrinkage of the sleeve length , to save time and be most productive in your knit 🧶? 😊 thank you in advance for your expertise.
That definitely would help a lot with being sure your sweater will fit before it's finished!
For time sake, would you do the sweater surgery again or would you just rip out the ribbing, knit to length and reknit the ribbing?
I would do the sweater surgery again! The active work time was wayyyy less than adding the new length and re-knitting all of that ribbing.
Out of all the podcasts I watch, I enjoy yours the most.
hello! so im also knitting the Amy sweater in Peer Gynt! I did a gauge swatch and mine didn't get softer with blocking it got fuzzier and I think kinda itchy and rougher.... since you experienced the opposite, what did you do to your swatch to make it softer? how long did you soak it what temperature water all the details please
You always make my day!😊
Starch will definitely make it smell…. Weird! I like it as is ❤
I have a question about the sewrella yarn you are using for your tank! Does the yarn shed like a mohair does? Just wondering about that! Thanks!
It does shed a bit!
Wow Amy, very nice sweater surgery, I wouldn't dare to do it paha
❤

The beanie is really cute on you! I would suspect that the issue with the crown is likely due to the superwash nature of your yarn. I’ve learned this through experience and have since stopped knitting with any superwash fibers. And there’s the chemical treatments used to achieve washability and the environmental impact.
I've lost count how many channels I watch that already have received a Hooks&Needles Kit. Hope that calms down soon...
