You are amazing. Please remember always how much the knitting community loves you. I hear it from knitting friends, and podcasters as well as other designers. Take care of yourself. You will look back on this time as one of the most exciting times of your life. .
You are so amazing. You include so much in your patterns with so many options. I hope you know everyone appreciates it. I’ve heard several other podcasters commenting about your patterns including so much. Having so many ideas is incredible but don’t overwhelm yourself. Stress is not a good thing. It can take over your body. Having said that, we all still can’t wait to see what you come up with.
So glad you took last weekend off. Also happy you spoke about your struggles, we all have them and people need to know no one can handle everything! Exciting to hear you speak about your “ yarn” room studio. I will tell you that my 30’s were the most exciting and pleasurable time period in my life. ENJOY! I do enjoy each decade and each day, the days sometimes come with struggles, but always with something that brings me joy or warms my heart too. Life is an amazing adventure! Thanks again for talking about having emotions, dealing with them, feeling better and the healthy ways you recognized to take care of yourself. You may only be turning 30, but you are very wise. Also, I LOVE my Tolsta Tee, favorite fit and knit ever!!!!!!
So many exciting things happening in your life! Congratulations on the new house and hope all goes well with the move. Please look after yourself-even if that means you have to take a step back to catch your breath….we’ll all be here when you return😊
Congratulations on so many Wonderful happenings in your life!! Enjoy every minute! Happy Birthday early! Can’t wait to see what the future brings with you! 💕
Congratulations on your house buy! Moving house is very stressful. You are right to take time for yourself and take a breath. I’m loving your designs. You make me chuckle too - I love listening to you. Take care of you xxx
Congratulations! So exciting to be moving to your own home! I hear you about the puppy! We got a puppy about 6 months ago and I truly wondered for a while if I was crazy 🤪 but all is good now! Always remember to take care of yourself first, we will be here to cheer you on!❤
There's so much value in a good cry! You are in a very busy time of life and you're feeling it. It's okay and I'm pleased that you took time for yourself. Congratulations on your new home! May you and your partner have years of happiness and prosperity.
I just love watching your podcasts! So fun and you have so much energy. Congratulations on your new home and so many fun and exciting things happening in your life. Enjoy all the moments. BTW ~ good for you for just deciding you were not up for a podcast and skipping a week.
So many wonderful things happening - congratulations on them all! I cannot wait for your coat/cardigan pattern…I’ve got the perfect yarn for it and would love to make all of the versions (I squealed when you said shawl collar 🙋🏼♀️ ). The wrap is gorgeous on you and the jellyfish blanket will hit my queue, too. All the best to you - you’re so funny and a great companion to knit with, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm ❤
Congratulations on the new house! I love all the knitting. But remember, you don’t have to put out a new pattern every month if you don’t want to, there is no pressure there either! Your health comes first! ❤
Thank you so much for another lovely episoed. There are a lot of great things happening for you right now! I hope you get to sit back, breath and enjoy all that you have achieved! It sounds very stressfull at the moment and if you can't keep up with the podcast, just skip a few and take care of yourself!
Thank you much I dont know how you do it all so take time out for yourself we'll be here for you. Congratulations on being a homeowner and love your patterns. You are so generous with your patterns bybgiving us choices thank you. 😊
My husband and I purchased our first house this summer, and I can confirm that a mental breakdown is a fundamental part of the process. Congratulations!
Congratulations on the new house & all you’ve achieved - my son lives in Amsterdam ( just been visiting him for 4 weeks) & my nephew lives in Edinburgh (have visited him too) - both beautiful inspiring places to be!! Regards (from Australia)
Happy Birthday Rebecca! I found your channel about a year ago and I LOVE seeing all the knitty things you're getting up to and hearing about all the wonderful things you're doing outside of knitting! I definitely could relate to your story of how you and your partner kind of seemingly "fell into" buying a house; my husband and I after many a time saying "oh what's the harm? let's just go see.." now are more cognizant and cautious, but truth be told, nothing truly disastrous has happened by following that sentiment. I think being able to reflect on how things have fallen into place and being able to be responsible for the choices one makes is what's more important. And I think it's really great that you and your partner are taking these big steps together. Life will always have its overwhelming moments, but it sounds like you are taking everything in stride and it seems like you know exactly what you need to feel grounded. Again, happy 30th and congrats on buying a house!
Rebecca, your creativity is amazing. I chose the Alder as my mosaic project in Kaci's MAL so 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾it works out! I am also looking forward to the jacket pattern in January; it's fabulous. Please leave the release till January. It will be a great project to welcome the new year. Every time you talk about gauge and here with Swatchgate, I am encouraged to do better. Thank you 😊. Best of everything with the house!
Congratulations on the house. That’s super exciting. Your studio sounds amazing, I’m glad you will be going a tour. I’m sorry that it’s all been overwhelming, take good care of yourself, it sounds like you are. Loved all the swatching and the blanket is going to be gorgeous. Very excited about the all over texture stick season cardi.
Rebecca every single thing will work out, and if your plate is so full you can always remove things if you need so like you have done already. We’ll be still here whenever you want to post, and again massive congratulations on your new home! ❤
energy is self fulfilling because we put this pressure on ourselves but sometimes we get caught up in it all and that's when we need to take a breath and stop. prioritise. we all need to do it. I loved hearing that you are taking time out to walk, to enjoy nature and to still have coffee, though not too much lol (if there is such a thing - too much coffee?? what?? no way :-) Oh and can you look at the lens not at yourself. :-) we sit and watch you (our knitting group) and we keep looking to the left trying to meet your gaze and can't. time to walk the dog...have fun and chill a bit. oh and OMG a house! that is the coolest thing! I hope there is enough room for the yarn stash and finished objects and of course, the dog! yay! a HOUSE. My daughter's birthday is the same day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on all.the.things! Thanks for sharing that you are human and sometimes the world around us gets overwhelming. A good cry is a great stress reliever. You sound like you are doing all the right things to help. Eating well, a bit of exercise, good sleep, etc. Keep it up and soon the stressors will have less of an impact. Thanks also for another great episode!
Omg i guessed the right amount of swatches! You are wild with how much you are doing. But know we appreciate it! It’s so fun seeing your creativity and hearing about the process. Thank you for all you do ❤
Congrats on the new house!!! Can’t wait to see your studio aka yarn room 😊 Happy (early) Birthday!!! Every decade gets better and better (but I know that apprehension when you reach that milestone!). Also, I’d go with the Rauma from the swatches 😁
Congrats on the house. Very exciting things both on and off the needles. I can't wait to see the other kip samples and have other people experience that beautiful pattern too.
Well done to you and your partner on your new home ,absolutely lovely for you both and puppy. Knitting is as usual blooming fabulous,now take care of yourself lots to do in next few weeks but hey you will manage all worth it for you two and puppy xxxxx
I am so excited about the coat. I have been searching for a coat pattern with texture and longer. Yah! You are designing it. Congratulations on the new house.
Congratulations on the new house! I like the color, stitch definition and drape of the reddish orange swatch. I love how excited you are about your waves blanket and your beautiful box of mohair colors with your lovely story of paint chip samples. Happy Birthday! ❤🧶🥳🏡🐶
I love your paint chip recollection. I totally get it 😉. I was thinking about how you love to make patterns with many variations and it occurred to me that this is a way of including people (which I know is important to you). Thank you for your generosity and enthusiasm. Congratulations on your house and Happy Birthday!🎂 ❤
So much going on for you but the inspiration never stops. I guessed 15 swatches btw. 😉 And I’m imagining that those swatches will result in at least 2 new items in my woolly wardrobe.
Kaci from Youngfolk Knits is delightful. Looking forward to that KAL. Wow did you get a huge birthday present. Understand about the puppy. A young cat just adopted us. Delightful. Love that cardigan whenever it comes out.
Congratulations on the new house! Yes, moving is very stressful, so take care of yourself first. We'll all still be here once you get settled. Our recent foray into raising a puppy is about to turn 2 years old, so we're still in the rowdy teen phase, but she is turning into a great dog after running us ragged. You'll get there.
What an exciting /stressful time in your life. Congratulations on purchasing your home. Looking forward to seeing all the new patterns as they become available. Look after you and don’t forget to breathe 🧘.
So many good and exciting things are happening for you! You are just overflowing with so many good ideas, and you are (and we are too) fortunate that you actually get to follow through on them. Even though you are stressed, you have no idea how many times you made me smile and laugh out loud today. All of the best to you as you move through the next phases of your life; it will all be good! I also wish early happy birthday wishes. Cheers!
Rebecca, congratulations! That’s so exciting for you. You will be fine. Just take one thing at a time. Can’t wait to see your new place and what you do with it. ❤
Our birthdays are so close to one another, I knew I felt a connection with you & now I get why! Happy birthday! Welcome to the 30's you will Love them. I'm in my 50's now but I've enjoyed every new decade for the new adventures it brought. I will say though that 50 has been my favorite so far, then my 30's.
I have to admit, the Rauma Garn Fivel is my favorite for the look/texture. It looks like it would make something with an absolutely lovely drape that would be super warm. *le sigh* Now I’m going to have to get some! 😂 I bet it would make a lovely Lauder. (aaand now that I’ve had the idea I have to make it.) I’m excited to see where you take this project. I just knownit’s going to be fabulous. ❤
Yay!!! We just moved. It took so long for us to find a house. We are older, so we paced ourselves. I just kept telling myself it’s ok. And I need to do more detashing, but it’s ok. Puppies are a lot!!! Bless all your work!!!
Congratulations on the new house 🎉 Take care of yourself and happy birthday 🎂 your pattern are wonderful and I am looking forward to the Stick Season Jacket .
Congratulations on your house! So many exciting things! I’m looking for to your new designs being released over the coming months. Take time to enjoy all the new & exciting things in your life, you deserve them!
Rauma Fival is my choice . I love this podcast. And I love to hear about you. Paint chips . That is beautiful. I am so glad you came through the melt down.Yes take care of yourself. Congratulations . ❤
This was an awesome podcast. I just love your creative spirit and energy!!! I have the problem of being 61 years old and just starting my knitting journey and want to make EVERYTHING!! Congratulations on the house and just know you're on a great path and for your age the milestones in your life thus far are amazing - you work hard for what you've got so don't forget to take the time to enjoy it! 🌹🌹
Congratulations! Life just happens all at once sometimes! You got this 😁 If we have to wait a little longer for some things to come out so be it, it'll be worth the wait. So excited to see what comes out of your creative mind ✨️
I really appreciate how many options you add to your patterns Rebecca, its so brilliant. I love my Tolsta tee and I’m really looking forward to knitting the Cara when its out too :)
I so get the eye appt reference and actually laughed out loud haha I really liked the fivel swatch. BTW, I have a crazy brain too. My therapist calls it my Fu up tornado brain phase. Totally accurate for me and sounds like it might be for you right now too😂
It's been very interesting hearing the glass analogy and your life stuff. I second another commenter that we will all be here when you're here. You owe us nothing and yourself everything. So happy for you. I've said it before, yours is the ONLY podcast I don't have to speed up. As a young child my father always told me I was talking too fast...happy knitting!
Thank you for all the options! I have bought many patterns from a popular UK designer and many are so similar. You give so many options in one pattern and it is very much appreciated. Love watching and look forward to all your upcoming designs!
I see more clearly the texture on the light yarn, Rauma, but I also see the texture on Isager yarn, it might just be a question of color. Congratulations on buying your new house !!! I am sorry for all the stress, but I hope you'll get lots of help for packing, moving and unpacking. I send you a big calming hug 🤗 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 🎉 🎂 🎇
Congrats on the new house!! It's nice that you are keeping it real for for your viewers instead of pretending you are superwoman and never get stressed or overwhelmed (you are still superwoman 😜)
Congratulations both on buying your first house 🏡. Exciting time. I hated turning 30. It was the worse one for me. Goodness knows why 🤷♀️. I am more than double that now 😱. And none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It’s easier said than done. But try not to stress and just go with the flow. Stress really isn’t good for you. Chill and remember how far you have come in life already 😘
I love you Rebecca! Happy happy birthday next week in case you don't podcast again! Yes I wondered where you were last week… good for you taking time off. How lovely to turn 30 🎉 yes it's hard…but I survived 30 'cos I’m now 68 …. I did not want to,leave my 20's I remember it so well! My husband made me a big party…. You have such exciting things coming you lucky girl and it is wonderful seeing you grow as a designer. I love your energy as I was always a bit speedy too 😂 I would have had letters after my name had I been born later…. Just separated on my second Tolsta vest…. It is my favourite summer knit and I see more in my future…especially since I believe that I am still 30 years old 😉 xxxxx
Congrats on everything Rebecca! Yea, you have a lot on your plate, and yes it’s all good but there is stress even with “good” things! Can’t wait to see the new “studio” set up. Nuggles, as with all pups can be a handful until they get us properly trained! Enjoy your friends visit and give yourself some time! Again ,all your designs are so well thought thru, and all the options you provide your customer makes every pattern a great value! Congratulations again on the new house purchase! ClaudiaSJI
Another great podcast with all the exciting things happening in your life. You are acknowledging that you are juggling lots of 'balls' which means you have a head start on knowing the priority of importance. I've recently knitted your Stick Season sweater without the sticks for my son. I used Donegal Tweed Kelly & Co worsted weight yarn. I did a swatch & did the maths to get the yarn to work with the pattern for a great fit. I've loaded it on the pattern projects (R@mpage163). I have more of this yarn I will save for the Stick Season Jacket pattern release. Take care! Barbara (NZ)
Hi Rebecca. Thanks for the lovely podcast! Ýou look fab in red btw. Please know that all us guys will be fine if u miss a few weeke podcast while you shift house. We will need a tour when u r ready, though.😂 much love from Shetland ❤❤❤❤
Hm… near the beach… wondering if you’re moving to portobello, where I spent all my student summers working as the crazy golf attendant on the promenade! Love your podcasts - been in Yorkshire for 35plus years, but loving hearing your accent and speed of speech (took me a long time to slow down so that my workmates understood me!) I discovered you in early April when I came back to knitting after 30 years and have devoured your podcasts - it’s been lovely to see the fast forward development of your podcasting g skills and (needless to say) the knitting/ designing skills. Hope your move goes well - and many congratulations on the purchase!
It's such a winter cardigan. Please release it in December! It would give knitters enough time to make and wear it a lot. I live in the US in the SE so it would be completed in March, which is early spring weather here.
If we are confessing weird childhood collections, I squirreled away the shiny foil from sticks of gum. I just loved how shiny they were and used to pretend they were pieces of silver and gold. Kids are so funny!
Ah sweet girl, you seem to be stressing way too much. Personally I think that’s just about you going to the next level in life….chill and take one day at a time. You are amazing and have already achieved SO much more than the average person….have faith in yourself. Your designs are truly amazing and I believe they are your “happy place “….an opportunity to switch the stress off. Thank you SO much for sharing with us….a delight always xOXo ❤
CONGRATULATIONS on the house and having your “studio” 😊. I know with myself, I end up like you, stressed, too much, etc sort of melt down by crying and then it’s like the weight is lifted… same stuff going on but finally can face it more objectively. I think it’s a good way to release!
Thank you so much for always putting so much into your patterns! I love that we get so many options and I really appreciate that you don't separate them all out into different patterns. I'm so excited to knit the Cara wrap and the Stick Season jacket and the Kip sweater! 🥰Congrats on the house! I'm glad you're feeling better too, sometimes we just need a good cry 😅
You are amazing. Please remember always how much the knitting community loves you. I hear it from knitting friends, and podcasters as well as other designers. Take care of yourself. You will look back on this time as one of the most exciting times of your life.
.
You are so amazing. You include so much in your patterns with so many options. I hope you know everyone appreciates it. I’ve heard several other podcasters commenting about your patterns including so much. Having so many ideas is incredible but don’t overwhelm yourself. Stress is not a good thing. It can take over your body. Having said that, we all still can’t wait to see what you come up with.
So glad you took last weekend off. Also happy you spoke about your struggles, we all have them and people need to know no one can handle everything! Exciting to hear you speak about your “ yarn” room studio. I will tell you that my 30’s were the most exciting and pleasurable time period in my life. ENJOY!

Love my stck sweater and Lauder patterns. You are so generous to offer many options! Excited for stick cardigan!!
Congratulations on the new house! I love all the knitting. But remember, you don’t have to put out a new pattern every month if you don’t want to, there is no pressure there either! Your health comes first! ❤

It sounds very stressfull at the moment and if you can't keep up with the podcast, just skip a few and take care of yourself!
Congratulations on the new house!! So exciting but definitely stressful. I hope you're able to get some rest in amongst the moving chaos
Thank you much I dont know how you do it all so take time out for yourself we'll be here for you. Congratulations on being a homeowner and love your patterns. You are so generous with your patterns bybgiving us choices thank you. 😊

HAHAHAHAH so close
Congrats on the new house!!! Can’t wait to see your studio aka yarn room 😊 Happy (early) Birthday!!! Every decade gets better and better (but I know that apprehension when you reach that milestone!). Also, I’d go with the Rauma from the swatches 😁
The red of your new wrap sweater is very a good color for you. How you figure out the details of all these patterns is amazing!
You definitely had me at “walls of yarn” 🧶 It sounds like my perfect happy place. I can’t wait to see it.
Congrats on the house. Very exciting things both on and off the needles. I can't wait to see the other kip samples and have other people experience that beautiful pattern too.
Well done to you and your partner on your new home ,absolutely lovely for you both and puppy. Knitting is as usual blooming fabulous,now take care of yourself lots to do in next few weeks but hey you will manage all worth it for you two and puppy xxxxx

Kaci from Youngfolk Knits is delightful. Looking forward to that KAL. Wow did you get a huge birthday present. Understand about the puppy. A young cat just adopted us. Delightful. Love that cardigan whenever it comes out.

Rebecca, congratulations! That’s so exciting for you. You will be fine. Just take one thing at a time. Can’t wait to see your new place and what you do with it. ❤
Our birthdays are so close to one another, I knew I felt a connection with you & now I get why! Happy birthday! Welcome to the 30's you will Love them. I'm in my 50's now but I've enjoyed every new decade for the new adventures it brought. I will say though that 50 has been my favorite so far, then my 30's.

Yay!!! We just moved. It took so long for us to find a house. We are older, so we paced ourselves. I just kept telling myself it’s ok. And I need to do more detashing, but it’s ok. Puppies are a lot!!! Bless all your work!!!
We got very very lucky and went to view one house, put an offer in on it and had it accepted. I think the finding process can be really stressful too
Congratulations on the new house 🎉 Take care of yourself and happy birthday 🎂 your pattern are wonderful and I am looking forward to the Stick Season Jacket .

I really appreciate how many options you add to your patterns Rebecca, its so brilliant. I love my Tolsta tee and I’m really looking forward to knitting the Cara when its out too :)
Lovely watching.
Isager - the best swatch
Kind regards

Congratulations on the new house!
Congratulations on the house 🏡 so exciting for you. Take care of yourself ❤
& Happy Birthday for next week!
I so get the eye appt reference and actually laughed out loud haha I really liked the fivel swatch.
BTW, I have a crazy brain too. My therapist calls it my Fu up tornado brain phase. Totally accurate for me and sounds like it might be for you right now too😂
It's been very interesting hearing the glass analogy and your life stuff. I second another commenter that we will all be here when you're here. You owe us nothing and yourself everything. So happy for you. I've said it before, yours is the ONLY podcast I don't have to speed up. As a young child my father always told me I was talking too fast...happy knitting!
Congratulations on your house!
De fivel ziet er super mooi uit. Gefeliciteerd met het huis❤
Your snakes remind me of seaweed kelp. Congratulations on your new house by the beach ❤
Thats so cool! I can totally see it.
Thank you for all the options! I have bought many patterns from a popular UK designer and many are so similar. You give so many options in one pattern and it is very much appreciated. Love watching and look forward to all your upcoming designs!
I see more clearly the texture on the light yarn, Rauma, but I also see the texture on Isager yarn, it might just be a question of color. Congratulations on buying your new house !!! I am sorry for all the stress, but I hope you'll get lots of help for packing, moving and unpacking. I send you a big calming hug 🤗 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 🎉 🎂 🎇
Congrats on the new house!! It's nice that you are keeping it real for for your viewers instead of pretending you are superwoman and never get stressed or overwhelmed (you are still superwoman 😜)
Loved watching this episode (I always do actually 😀). Have lots of fun in your new home. And your Dutch sounds really good!
Thank you! 😃
Congratulations both on buying your first house 🏡. Exciting time. I hated turning 30. It was the worse one for me. Goodness knows why 🤷♀️. I am more than double that now 😱. And none of the other birthdays have bothered me.
It’s easier said than done. But try not to stress and just go with the flow. Stress really isn’t good for you. Chill and remember how far you have come in life already 😘
Congratulations on your new home!!! I’m wishing you a very happy 30th birthday ❤️
Thank you so much!!
Wow, happy birthday, and congratulations on the house! I love watching your episodes and seeing your designs. I'm working on a Sanna cardigan now.
I am loving the patterns you are coming out with recently!! I just cant knit fast enough to do all of them hahaha 😂
I love you Rebecca! Happy happy birthday next week in case you don't podcast again! Yes I wondered where you were last week… good for you taking time off.
How lovely to turn 30 🎉 yes it's hard…but I survived 30 'cos I’m now 68 …. I did not want to,leave my 20's I remember it so well! My husband made me a big party…. You have such exciting things coming you lucky girl and it is wonderful seeing you grow as a designer. I love your energy as I was always a bit speedy too 😂 I would have had letters after my name had I been born later…. Just separated on my second Tolsta vest…. It is my favourite summer knit and I see more in my future…especially since I believe that I am still 30 years old 😉 xxxxx
Omg I was a paint chip kid too!! I’m obsessed with your blanket pattern, looooove a wavy stripe!
You are an amazing yarn artist! Thank you so much for sharing all your design thoughts and samples. You rock 🤗
Rauma 😅
Congrats on everything Rebecca! Yea, you have a lot on your plate, and yes it’s all good but there is stress even with “good” things! Can’t wait to see the new “studio” set up. Nuggles, as with all pups can be a handful until they get us properly trained! Enjoy your friends visit and give yourself some time! Again ,all your designs are so well thought thru, and all the options you provide your customer makes every pattern a great value! Congratulations again on the new house purchase! ClaudiaSJI
Congratulations on the house! Big fan of your patterns and podcast. Btw your Dutch sounds amazing 🤩
wow exciting news 🎉
Super congrats! 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Love your cardigan. I like the orange colour swatch. Good luck with your move and look after yourself
Another great podcast with all the exciting things happening in your life. You are acknowledging that you are juggling lots of 'balls' which means you have a head start on knowing the priority of importance.
I've recently knitted your Stick Season sweater without the sticks for my son. I used Donegal Tweed Kelly & Co worsted weight yarn. I did a swatch & did the maths to get the yarn to work with the pattern for a great fit. I've loaded it on the pattern projects (R@mpage163). I have more of this yarn I will save for the Stick Season Jacket pattern release.
Take care! Barbara (NZ)
Hi Rebecca. Thanks for the lovely podcast! Ýou look fab in red btw. Please know that all us guys will be fine if u miss a few weeke podcast while you shift house. We will need a tour when u r ready, though.😂 much love from Shetland ❤❤❤❤
Hm… near the beach… wondering if you’re moving to portobello, where I spent all my student summers working as the crazy golf attendant on the promenade! Love your podcasts - been in Yorkshire for 35plus years, but loving hearing your accent and speed of speech (took me a long time to slow down so that my workmates understood me!)
I discovered you in early April when I came back to knitting after 30 years and have devoured your podcasts - it’s been lovely to see the fast forward development of your podcasting g skills and (needless to say) the knitting/ designing skills.
Hope your move goes well - and many congratulations on the purchase!
It's such a winter cardigan. Please release it in December! It would give knitters enough time to make and wear it a lot. I live in the US in the SE so it would be completed in March, which is early spring weather here.
I've already changed the dates with my tech editor
If we are confessing weird childhood collections, I squirreled away the shiny foil from sticks of gum. I just loved how shiny they were and used to pretend they were pieces of silver and gold. Kids are so funny!
That's amazing! I love that.
Ah sweet girl, you seem to be stressing way too much. Personally I think that’s just about you going to the next level in life….chill and take one day at a time. You are amazing and have already achieved SO much more than the average person….have faith in yourself.
Your designs are truly amazing and I believe they are your “happy place “….an opportunity to switch the stress off.
Thank you SO much for sharing with us….a delight always xOXo ❤
CONGRATULATIONS on the house and having your “studio” 😊. I know with myself, I end up like you, stressed, too much, etc sort of melt down by crying and then it’s like the weight is lifted… same stuff going on but finally can face it more objectively. I think it’s a good way to release!
Yes! That's exactly what happened. The calm after the storm.
Thank you so much for always putting so much into your patterns! I love that we get so many options and I really appreciate that you don't separate them all out into different patterns. I'm so excited to knit the Cara wrap and the Stick Season jacket and the Kip sweater! 🥰Congrats on the house! I'm glad you're feeling better too, sometimes we just need a good cry 😅
Im so excited to see how the shawl collar works up. I love a shawl collar!
