My “cheat” for the Musselburgh CO is to CO 4 sts and then kfb in each on the next round to get 8 and it looks great! Pull the tail and it makes a little X at the crown.
Another great caston method for the Musselburgh is by Mostly Knitting on her UA-cam channel. I tried so many of the others and found hers to be the easiest and best!
Congrats on finishing Wyatt’s sweater!! 🙌🏻 it looks great and I hope we get to see it on him. Adorable baby hat!! Amazing yarns from Yarnable and Christy!!
Hi Kay. Wyatt's sweater looks great. So glad you finished it though I know you hadn't really wanted to as it wasn't your love. It didn't bring you joy. I love the socks you finished and the new ones you have started. Those new yarns are just gorgeous. Hope you have a great weekend.
I LOVE how you are ok with not having yarn labels and also you have several sock projects cast on! You made my day with that one and I immediately cast on a second and third pair. I am now doing just vanilla socks and having fun doing different colors for heels and toes. LOVE your podcasts, seeing your socks, bags and tips!
You did a fantastic job on the sweater. Taking your time and finishing on your own terms! I’m excited for your son! You are a rockstar of a mother and a knitter! Have a great week!💛
Lovely, pretty things again from you Kayla. Thank you The Jumper for Wyatt is a beaut!! Well done for making it to the end of that big project. It’s 55degrees here. Enjoy your 75degrees while it lasts 🙋🏼🤣
Whew! That was close! I was just catching up on last week’s podcast, and I thought I was going to have to volunteer to finish Wyatt’s sweater. I’m so glad you pushed through and finished it. It looks amazing! And I’m glad he likes it too-such a labor of love should be worn.
Ah you finished Wyatt’s sweater. I’d definitely love to see a picture of him wearing it but if he’s not comfortable that’s his decision, and I respect that. Cristie’s yarns are some of the best that I ever knit with. I just got her September 2024 color of the month (and a few others) and they’re just gorgeous. Happy making!
That’s so wonderful that you completed your son’s sweater! You are so industrious, Kayla! Your red socks with the Yarnable yarn were awesome. Love those little charm progress keepers. Have a great week!
Wyatt's sweater is fabulous!! I'm so happy that you finished it for him. Hope he'll let you show us how it looks on him.....even if you can't show his face!!!!😊
I’m so glad you made the final push on the sweater, your son is going to be able to remember all your efforts when he wears it and you’ll have the joy of fulfilling his wish. I have several projects that need 1/2 a sleeve or a button band or other small finishing details so I TOTALLY understand needing to rant and put something in time-out until I can calm down 😅
I'm so glad you decided not to give up on Wyatt's sweater. It is perfection and I'm glad he likes it too. I get that way too. Sometimes I just feel so done with a project but I push through and then am so happy I didn't abandon it.
I'm so glad you finished Wyatt's sweater! When you talked about giving it up last week, all I could think was OH NO not all those pretty cables? It's stunning. I know what you meant when you said why you were ready to walk away from it. That happens to me when I get close to the end of projects...I just want them done but don't want to finish them. That last quarter before casting off seems to take me the longest....and I have no idea why?! All of your socks are glorious as usual and the Musselburgh hats are too. Oh my gosh, that baby one! Can't wait to hear how that modified cast on works out. It would have a lot of fiddling. I haven't knit one yet BUT do have plans to. Wish I had a baby to knit for-I can't get that little pink beauty out of my brain! Oh and a belated happy birthday to you-that yarn you showed is glorious...can't wait to see it all knit up!
It warms my heart to hear that you finished the sweater. Your love for this project will come from seeing your son wear the sweater. I was also at Wool Gathering for the first time. It was awesome!
Yay! Wyatt's sweater is done. I tend to stall in the middle, at the place where there is just boring stockinette that goes on forever or never-ending repeats. When I see the end I get reinvigorated and am eager to finish.
I love doing stockinette socks. I was thinking more of sweaters and tees. I’ve been making top down tees this summer and after I divide for the sleeves it is a lot of stockinette down the body.
after years of being a knitting perfectionist I finally broke through to being a satisfied knitter. Stops and starts but never being happy with the sock resulting I found your Austin sock pattern on Ravelry and began to work through it learning good techniques that made good socks. I would go along and get discouraged and set them down but after winning a blue, Grand Champion and Judges Choice on my last socks in the fair I sat down and knitted a pair in less than a month! For me that is a record. Thanks Kayla I hope I have broken through at last.
The sweater you knitted for your son is so nice looking .I currently have a whip for my husband for a hoodie that involves cables. I love cables, but did not realize how tedious they are until you start knitting with them. I love all your projects shown
So much productivity Kayla! Well done for getting that sweater off your back. If it was for yourself you would have decided it wasn’t making you happy but your gift-giving self couldn’t disappoint Wyatt!❤❤❤🎉
OMG that yarn you got for your birthday is amazing!!! Too bad shipping to Europe is so expensive. Lucky you!!! And I am so so happy for you that you finished the sweater! Greetings from Belgium
The sweater turned out beautifully! So glad you did finish it and Wyatt will get to enjoy it on your cooler fall days and winter. Maybe he would let you show a picture of how the sweater looks on him if you cut it off so his head (face) doesn’t show so we could enjoy your handy work!! Such beautiful yarn makes beautiful socks :).
Congratulations on finishing Wyatts jumper you sjould be very proud it looks amazing Yaaaa. Oh my goodness all the yarn looks soooo good love the colours that came in your parcel. 😊
What you said about not wanting to finish your son's sweater crossed my mind as I looked at the pile of crocheted squares on my lap (for a Jethro cardigan). At the moment I wanted to throw them all across the room; I was tired of looking at them, tired of sewing them all together, and tired of the whole stupid project. I pushed on. Then I sewed the panels together and found I had about 300 loose ends to weave in. (Only a slight exaggeration. I didn't weave in ends on any of the 65 the squares OR when I sewed them together.) Now I really wanted to trash it and forget I ever knew how to crochet, but I pushed on. Color me surprised when I realized I had only laid out the squares on Tuesday afternoon, and by Thursday evening they were all sewn together AND the ends were woven in. Now I only need to add the edging and the sleeves; probably a week's worth of work if I focus. (Which I rarely do. Squirrel!) Plus it's the perfect length and so darn cute! 😄
Yay! I'm so happy you finished Wyatt's sweater - and he likes it. I'm so with you on the 'lost the desire to finish'. I finally picked up the sleeves on my daughter's sweater. It should really take no time to complete. I'm loving the change in the air. Fall is coming!!!🍂
I just told my daughter yesterday that I think I like Fall the best. Now that you mention it, I think I like it, and maybe others as well, is because of the general association with Fall. It is the time of year that most people get together with family - Thanksgiving/Christmas - whereas they maybe don't see each other as much during the year. Those gatherings bring all "back together" to remind us of what is truly important. It is usually a very happy time. I pray for those that the holidays are dreaded. That is sad. However, wishing a Happy Fall to all! Now, I gotta go work on my socks.
If I know how many stitches I am going to have in my musselburgh, I have cheated and done a provisional cast on, done the whole hat to a decrease, then when I go to pick up stitches, I am just working a second decrease. Also works really well to do a 2 sided or reversible one!
My friend and I were at Wool Gathering in Yellow Springs. Terribly hot but got great sock yarn for Halloween at Fiber Seed and Aisling Yarns two of my favorites.
Hi Kayla how are you doing today I am doing fine today your projects are very beautiful colors and very beautiful work thank goodness for sharing stay safe ❤❤
Wyatt's sweater turned out so good. I knew you would finish. As moms we do things for our babies we wouldn't do for ourselves. Lol Totally respect the photo issue. I always ask my sons first as well.
There is just something magical about a gloomy day! I guess because I’m such a homebody I fully embrace the darkness of fall and winter! Love Wyatt’s sweater - what a feat! Enjoy all the socks now! 🧦❤🧶
I just downloaded your Vanilla sock pattern. I am looking to join a Socktober in our local shop and just wanted a sweet pattern. Thank you for providing such a straightforward pattern. You did all the thinking for me. ❤
I'm not on instagram but when you said, "The last thing some of you may be surprised about...", I said to myself "the sweater"; hahaha. Congrats on finishing it! I have two projects that just need to be seemed together; augh; it's embarrassing.
LOVE WYATT'S sweater!!!!!! It is glorious🤩 I'm so happy starting my day knowing you finished it. Congrats - you go girl!!!!!!! Carrie from Eugene Oregon 😘❤🐶🐑☕🧵🪡🧶
Speckles! Speckles in that new yarn! Wyatt’s sweater looks fabulous and much larger since you blocked it. I bet you breathed a giant “sigh” when it was complete. 😉
Last week I was admiring your conviction to enjoying your knitting and deciding to possibly abandon the sweater….and now…I’m just in awe. It’s beautiful. And please do tell regarding the top of the musselburgh. I bet you are correct and it doesn’t matter…I will be trying it when I finish my current one on the needles!!
Mostly rain on the last couple days with heavy wind here but I get Cody around the kitchen stove and knit and dry veggies in the oven to preserve them , also some herbs and it smells so lovely !
I know you are so happy that you finished the sweater. I’m sure he loves it! I hope you have a great weekend! I’m hoping for a relaxing weekend, this week has been busy busy!
Rhinebeck Roomies has become one of my go-to patterns for socks, and I recently used the pattern on a pair of fingerless mitts for my nephew. I used the pattern on a pair of socks for his boyfriend so they will sort of match.
😍😍😍the new yarn is amazing! Do you ever get stuck when you have nice yarn?...like... Its so pretty that it needs to go to something special but idk what yet? Haha... I have so many special yarns set aside. On another note, i just ordered my first 9in circular and its due on monday...so maybe i can learn off your 9in tutorial video in the coming weeks... (I really should finish at least one of the 2 pairs on dpns finished before starting another project though 😂😂😂)
The sweater is absolutely beautiful. 😍. One for myself is ready to start next haven't finished other projects. It is an inspiration that you finished. Love ya.
My “cheat” for the Musselburgh CO is to CO 4 sts and then kfb in each on the next round to get 8 and it looks great! Pull the tail and it makes a little X at the crown.
Ohhh perfect! I’m going to do that for my next one!
Always sock inspiration ❤. Love Wyatt’s sweater ❤
I’m going to give this a try.
Oh I need to try this too! Thank you for sharing.

Love live the sweater! Such a rich and classic color!! I’m sure he’ll cherish it for years to come!
Yay! Wyatt's sweater is done. I tend to stall in the middle, at the place where there is just boring stockinette that goes on forever or never-ending repeats. When I see the end I get reinvigorated and am eager to finish.
That’s awesome! See I can do endless stockinette for ages and not get bored. 🤣
I love doing stockinette socks. I was thinking more of sweaters and tees. I’ve been making top down tees this summer and after I divide for the sleeves it is a lot of stockinette down the body.
Wooohooo!! Congrats on that big finish of the sweater!!

I'm happy that you are happy about finishing Wyatt's sweater and the baby hat is pretty
Yay! I'm so happy you finished Wyatt's sweater - and he likes it. I'm so with you on the 'lost the desire to finish'. I finally picked up the sleeves on my daughter's sweater. It should really take no time to complete. I'm loving the change in the air. Fall is coming!!!🍂

Your son’s sweater came out beautiful. I bet it was a big relief for you to have finished it!❤
Wyatt’s sweater is gorgeous!! So happy you changed your mind and went for the finish line!
Wyatt’s sweater is beautiful, family heirloom. Love getting up to your videos. Perfect way to start my day.
I use long tail cast on for Musselburgh hats and close with using the tail. Works perfectly
