"The world-cuppy thing but just in Europe" is my quote of my the day😂
You are such a happy joyful Lady ! I love watching you !!
That is very kind of you to say :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Love your finished art nouveau sweater and the pink tank project great color.
Thanks for another great episode
I love, love a KAL for patterns and/or yarns in your stash!!
Perfect! Thank you for watching 🥰
Love the sound of the gift knit episode! Enjoy watching whilst knitting on Mullion Cove Socks .
Wonderful! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Yes to a make along!
Hi Kathryn, I’m from Sydney, Australia and have just started watching your podcasts and found your joy of knitting very infectious and lovely k it’s as well. I have been knitting for many years and at the moment knitting a jumper for my 1 year old great granddaughter and with a pattern that I used for my children when they were that age. See you in two weeks.
That is so lovely! Your kids and grandkids are very lucky! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I found your channel recently and have loved going back and viewing all your videos. Your love of knitting shines through in all of them.
I think your idea of using the moomin motifs for a sweater is fabulous.
That is so kind of you to say :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Dear Kathryn , I enjoy watching your videos . I like the new design from Melanie Berg . The cardigan for your partner looks stunning . Kind regards Beate
That is very kind of you to say :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I would love a knit along on using patterns or yarn we already own. I will focus on getting my WIP’s down in anticipation. I love your podcast and enjoy seeing more of Germany and your travels as well. Your Art Deco sweater is amazing.
That is good to hear and I am drafting the "rules" for the MAL now ready for the next episode :) Btw the Art Nouveau sweater is out today! Thank you for watching 🥰
I'm up for a make-along, Kathryn. Your mum and I knitted Black Sheep Wool's KAL, "A day out", during C19. Hers adorns your sofa! I made mine into a baby blanket (your mum is more industrious). Each square is based on a different part of the village where I grew up, Culcheth. We also had a go at steeking cardigans. Loving your podcasts. ❤
I knew that you had done the KAL together, but I didn't realise the connection with your village. That's so nice! I am working out the details for the MAL and will definitely talk about it on the next episode 🥰
I'm so grateful to have discovered your podcast and let my sister know about it right away. Your Art Nouveau sweater is beyond amazing and inspiring! I share your your love of Ozetta patterns, and have become a HUGE fan of ANKESTRiCK - I've knit two of her patterns so far - two Garden Cardigans and one Lenu pullover, both beautifully written patterns.
I haven't actually knit an Ankestrick pattern yet although I have many of her patterns in my favourites! Thank you for you kind comment and for watching 🥰
I am so happy I just found your podcast! Catching up with all the previous episodes will be a lovely knitting time! such a gift! 🎉
Wonderful! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I enjoy your podcast. My favourite type of knitting is fairisle especially jumpers!
Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I love your podcast. And your idea for the KAL is great 👍
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching 🥰
I enjoy your podcast. Love seeing what you are working on.
Thank you for watching 🥰
I love your podcast......your projects are just so amazing!! I'm actually knitting while I"m watching you....the Fiddlehead mittens. I'm on the east coast of the US and it's like 90 here today so mittens are a funny thing to be knitting on but they are small. And I love colorwork as well as you. thank you for sharing the sights, so beautiful!
What a lovely comment! You are very welcome and thank you for watching 🥰
Kathryn…. What a wonderful way to start the week! ❤ I would love to participate in a make-along with you!!! Hopefully…it’s something low-pressure that brings joy to the maker!!! Wishing you a productive two-weeks until we see you again! Cheers! ~B~
I agree; something slow, flexible and stress-free for over the summer :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Herzlichen Dank für den tollen Podcast, du bist so sympathisch und inspirierend. Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz Claudia
Grüezi! Vielen Dank für deinen netten Kommentar 🥰
Thank you for the chance to win a pattern, very much enjoy your podcast, was knitting on a sock while watching. Happy Knitting x
You are very welcome :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I so love the Moomins too! Snufkin is my favorite. I only learned of them reading them with my kids as they were growing up. I would love to be part of a make along using yarn in my stash or patterns in my library. I’ve been on a mission to knit regularly from deep stash for over a year but my even so my stash has continued to outgrow the space I have to store it!
I love Snufkin too and can totally relate to his need to wander in nature :) I will have a think about the admin for a MAL and talk about it in the next episode. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Love your finished art nouveau sweater and the pink tank project great color.
Thanks for another great episode
Also interested in make along
That is so kind of you to say! I will talk more about the MAL in the next episode. Thank you for watching 🥰
I could agree that the Musselburgh Hat seems to be the Rananculus of hats. I recently knit one for the first time and really enjoyed it, and the child it was made for is very happy with the results. Your Art Deco colourwork looks stunning!
That is marvellous to hear :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Ooo KAL sounds great with that criteria. I’m well placed to use use wool and existing patterns. No need to be buying new so can make use of what I’ve got. Good plan. Plus never done a KAL ever. Thanks for sharing your knitting. Very interesting. Thank you. I’m in Scotland knitting baby items for people currently while watching 😊
Wonderful, and hello in Scotland! I saw lots of men in kilts on the train yesterday, probably on their way to Köln (Cologne) for the football :) I think quite a few people seem interested in a MAL so I will think admin and prizes to talk about in the next episode :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I enjoy your podcast and lovely knits. Yes. I would be interested in a make along
Marvellous! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
What a beautiful Nouveau sweater! Will look out for the pattern! Have never participated in a knit along, but the idea is great!
Thank you so much for the compliment and for watching 🥰
A lovely podcast. Thank you. I have so many shawls and scarves I have knitted or crocheted I thought I would try something a bit different and I am knitting a skirt.
Ooo a knitted skirt! That sounds lovely! Which pattern are you doing? Thank you for watching 🥰
Yes I would love doing a knit along. Working on a pair of vanilla socks. Like everyone, I have too many wips going on. Love your podcast.
That's great to hear :) I will definitely talk about it more in the next episode. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hello Kathryn, I’m knitting a pair of socks and I’ve gone back and started watching your podcast from the beginning. All your knits are lovely 🤗🧶💕
That is so kind of you to say! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Love the MAL idea! Count me in. I saw the Moonmin Sock book and immediately thought of you. So glad you are getting one x
Brilliant! I can't wait for the book to arrive :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Dear Kathryn, thank you for your lovely videos, I really enjoy listening to you. I haven't tried the Musselburgh hat yet but currently I'm working on a cardigan by Ysolda Teague, a very good pattern. Oh and by the way, I'm your "Namensvetter" ☺️ Lots of love, Katrin
Hello Katrin! People often call me that here and it sounds so nice :) I haven't actually tried any of Ysolda's other patterns and really must. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I love your Sweater - perhaps my Projekt for autum ..? Thanks for you lovely words und the Film about my Shop 🥰
That is a lovely idea! Bis Freitag 🥰
Your knits are beautiful. A knit along would be fun as I haven't done one for quite awhile.
I think we will go for it and I will talk MAL admin on the next episode. Thank you for watching 🥰
Love the idea of a Moomin sweater, particularly if you incorporate several motifs. I mean so you don't necessarily make repeats, if you love colorwork I'm certain you could make it work, and it could be sooo cool.
I know exactly what you mean! I'm starting to form a plan ... Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hello from near Kamloops BC Canada. This is the 3rd of your podcasts that I've watched. I really enjoy your projects and learning bits about where you live. Your LYS is lovely. Sadly, my closest yarn store is an 80 minute drive away. Thank you for all you share! Terry 😊
Hello in Kamloops! Believe me, having yarn stores close by is a blessing and a curse!!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn, I'm sitting at work on the night shift, watching your video while knitting the Nola cardi by Yamagara (Joy!!) I've enjoyed watching your current array of projects and wips, thanks for an enjoyable podcast.
I hope I kept you company on your night shift! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I just stumbled across your podcast and it’s been a joy to watch! I love the idea of doing a MAL/KAL
You are so sweet and it means a lot! Thank you for watching 🥰
❤ Hi Kathryn. I so appreciate your videos. You have such a lovely way of sharing your beautiful knits.
I saw the sock book yesterday and thought immediately of you!!
I would definitely be interested in a Make a Long
So many people messaged me about the book I had to get it 😂 I think we will go for it with the MAL so I will talk about it more next time :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Lovely podcast! I am spinning some fibre on my spinning wheel a I watch. Love your finished Objects! Th jersey is spectacular!
Wonderful! Thank you for watching 🥰
Your jumper is so beautiful you have just finished, I also love concentrating on colour work sometimes. I definitely would love to knit it.
Whilst listening I’m turning the heel on a sock for my husband so it will be car knitting agin !
I’m also making an open work Tolsta in reclaimed cotton from my stash 😊 lovely podcast.
It is a lovely pattern but I can highly recommend any of Elenor Mortensen's designs. I do love a bit of car knitting too :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Really enjoyed your episode! I was actually carding fibre to spin while watching. 😁
Marvellous :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I came to your podcast because of your name, and sure enough, the first time I watched you I spotted Moomintroll on your shelves. You are such a delight! I love your makes. Now I'm off to find that moomin sock book.
Yay, another moomin fan! I am sorry to have enabled you to "justify" getting a new knitting book 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰
your tone seems so much calmer than the usual slightly bit more joyous. not in a bad way, just as a remark. hope you're doing at least fine!
Hello! Well spotted; I think I hadn't had any coffee before filming 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You made me fall in love with the Art Nouveau Sweater and since I'm a brown lover as well I would pick a very similar base color as the one you have chosen, it looks gorgeous! I hope I can see you wearing it in one of the coming episodes of your podcast. The little yarn shop you showed was recommended to me in the beginning of this year by a woman who lives close by as soon as she learned that I love to knit. I visited the shop in March and bought some nice yarn there and I really was surprised that I never before heard of this lovely and well-assorted oasis of joy for every yarn addict. I live in Viersen and so it is not too far away for me as well so this has definitely not been my last visit there. I would love to participate in a KAL or MAL as long as its theme leaves the freedom to choose from a variety of patterns to knit. My taste tends to not match the majority of other people's preferences and I want to knit something that I really enjoy. Today while watching your podcast I was knitting on my Flame On Shawl by Patrick Donohue which is my first deep-dive into two-color brioche. So greetings to Mönchengladbach (the city I was born in eternities ago) from "just around the corner", looking forward to our next encounter.
Hello in Viersen! I go through your city every day on the train! It is a small world. You are very welcome to join our knit night. It is every Friday from 15:00-19:00 and it would be lovely to see you :) I think we have enough people interested to do a MAL so I will talk about the admin on the next episode. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
At 60, I am a new knitter and loving it, in fact I am addicted. Although my mom was a prolific knitter, so it must be genetic. I am jealous of your yarn shop. I live in North Idaho, very cold winters, and all of our yarn shops have closed. there are none within a couple hours. :(
Honestly, having lots of yarn shops nearby is a blessing and a curse (for my bank balance 😂). Welcome to the knitting community and thank you for watching 🥰
I'm spinning some beautiful corriedale fibre while watching, and I'm really glad to have found your channel. I enjoy your projects and the thoughtful way you discuss knitting. I'm really interested in trying a musselburgh to make some gifts as my friends and I are all turning 50 from this autumn onwards and I wanted to give them a handmade gift and was just thinking of socks but you described the pattern in a way that made me feel it might be more versatile than socks.
I have been a bit remiss in my spinning practice over the last couple of weeks but I am planning on getting stuck in over the summer when I have some time off. I definitely recommend the musselburgh and I have heard that Ysolda Teague has done a whole episode on how to modify and hack her pattern which is very helpful so I will be looking that up. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Thank you for a great episode. Beautiful sweater! I’m knitting the Poet scarf by Sari Nordlund.
Ooooo lovely! I have a little scarf on the needles too but I will talk about it in the next episode as it is a new test knit for Ozetta! Thank you for watching 🥰
Been watching from the beginning
Thank you for sticking around 🥰
I am knitting the Old Fashioned Cardigan as well for my husband - his first knitted garment. Love the podcast - you have a very relaxed style which is always fun to watch
That's great! Which colour and yarn did he go for? Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@madebymoomeeno I am using Brooklyn Tweed Shelter in the color Meteorite which is a brown with tweedy bits of other colors - red, blue, orange.
Gorgeous 😍you made my day
MAL - I'm in
Yay! Thank you for watching 🥰
Really enjoying your podcast
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching 🥰
I am working on socks and a cowl. I also have a sweater on my needles . But stalled on that with warmer temps. Love your episode . Pretty LYS. I am listening to Whoopi Goldbergs book bits and pieces.
That's marvellous! If Whoopi is reading it herself I bet it is lovely to listen to; she has such a soothing voice. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn - I came across your videos recently & have been binge watching them- I’m really enjoying watching them & your knits are lovely. Thank you. I’m knitting a Tolsta Tee at the moment whilst trying to decide what to knit either 2 skeins of linen I bought whilst on holiday….never knit with it before x
Do it in linen! That sounds lovely :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Kathryn your colourwork jumper is very beautiful. I'd be interested in a KAL using patterns we've had for ages, but I'm not on IG, so would appreciate a Ravelry group as well. Ysolda's has done a whole episode on tips for her Musselburgh hat over on her channel. I'm knitting her Cepes Beret at the moment
Hello! That is a great point about instagram so I will need to think of an alternative and look at see if I can set up a group on Ravelry :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I love the sweater and you podcast, now of to buy the moomin sock book😂
Perfect 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰
Hello from Toronto. I’m currently hand winding a skein of Tinde yarn whilst wrapped around my knees 😂
Love your podcast
Hello in Toronto! I am not brave enough to try that 😅 Thank you for watching 🥰
Your nouveau jumper is just stunning, & a kal could spur me into knitting the ewa cardigan that’s been in my library since its release!
That is a great idea! Thank you for watching 🥰
I was knitting with the gorgeous Wooly Knit 4 ply whilst watching this - Celtic Green 💚 - finishing off a cardi that has taken aaaages as held single! Warm wishes from Shropshire x
Hello in beautiful Shropshire! Another Woolyknit fan :) That is a beautiful colour and wow it must be a small gauge held singlely (is that a word?! 😂) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Wonderful video! I
Thank you very much 🥰
Very much enjoying your videos. I am currently taking a long awaited break from work. Knitting needles at the ready. 🇨🇦
That is so kind of you to say :) Enjoy the time off and thank you for watching 🥰
Thanks for another enjoyable episode.
Yes I’m thinking a MAL sounds like a great way to use some of my little (not so little to be honest) collection of yarns and make one of the “must knit” patterns in my that are ready and waiting to come to life!
I totally agree 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi from the Mosel Valley, i love to see you in your podcast and it is great to see a lot of color work too. The new pattern from Elenor is great and i would buy it immediately.
You are not far from me! You are very lucky to live in a very pretty area :) I can highly recommend Elenor's pattern :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I’m enjoying your episodes and your sense of humor. I’m working on the I-cord bind off of Havin by Isabell Kraemer. I live in Arizona, where yarn shops are few and far between. Yours looks like a lovely welcoming place.
Argh! The icord bind off is my nemesis! I can do it just fine, I just find it a little dull 😂 I know I am lucky to have so many yarn shops on my doorstep but it is a blessing and a curse for my bank balance! Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi, I would love to take part in your MAL. Im on holiday at the moment so I'm separated from my stash 😱 I will join in as soon as I get home. Your knits are lovely. I have a couple of pairs of socks on my needles at the moment and a few older WIPS that I have brought with me to do whilst I'm away 😁 love the podcast and really looking forward to the next one xx
Oh the horror! I know you can find yarn stores wherever you go 😂 Give the pets and dad a hug from me 🥰
@@madebymoomeeno ❤️
Really enjoyed your podcast again ❤ I’m knitting on the Ninilchick Swoncho and little bit obsessed to be honest! First time adding Rico’s “Make it Tweed” into a project Xx
Lovely! I am a fan of Rico yarn; it is so reliable! Thank you for watching 🥰
I’m working on a test knit, socks for Summer Sock Camp and this week I will be working on some sample knits/crochets.
Ooo summer sock camp! I have never done that but my mum usually enters :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn, I'm just knitting the pressed flower vest by Amy Christoffers. I am just about to spit for the arms and thanks for another lovely podcast. ❤
Lovely! It is a gorgeous pattern :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I like your podcasts a lot. The colour work sweater is gorgeous. I'd love to take part in a MAL. There's quite a bit yarn in my stash 😊
Marvellous! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn. I’m really enjoying your podcast and all your knits. I love sock knitting and like you, have my own recipe that I follow, but at the moment I am knitting the Simon Shawl by Joanna Herriot of the Twinset and Purl podcast.
Ooo I will check out the podcast and pattern! Thank you for your kind comment and for watching 🥰
Happy to have found your podcast. Love seeing other parts of the knitting world. I am working on
Typhoon by Josh Ryks-Robinsky, a shawl for my Daughter’s birthday on July 1.
Wonderful! It is a pleasure to take you with me :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Id be very much interested in a kal, I would probably knit a summer tee not sure which one. Right now I’m knitting on a testknit for Beth Macdonald-stone. Thank you very much for this really entertaining episode
Ooo lovely! I think I saw that test call but I can't remember what the pattern was. I think we will go for it with the MAL so I will talk about it in the next episode :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Love your podcast and your natural style! I am busy knitting a summer vest by the creabea. In the hope summer will come soon😅 but a cardigan is also on the needles. Thanks for the inspiration and Greetings from Holland
That is very kind of you to say :) Enjoy your lovely summer projects and thank you for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn. I am a fairily new follower and have already caught up on watching all of podcasts to date. I love the sound of a stash busting kal. I am really trying not to buy more yarn until I have used up more of my stash x
Yup, me too but good intentions are so hard 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰
I'm watching you while working on a Vertices Unite shawl. It's my third one and I'm hoping to keep it as my other two have been claimed by loved ones. I love the podcast and enjoy seeing what you make x
I love that: "claimed by loved ones" 😂 It always happens doesn't it! Thank you for watching 🥰
Such an ingenious use of a mix of leftover yarn on the nouveau sweater
I so enjoy watching your videos and listening to your calming voice😊. Your projects are lovely. Hope your spinning is progressing. I have just finished a Torc cardigan and working on a summer tee.
I have been a bit remiss in my spinning the last couple of weeks but I will get down to it over the summer when I have some time off :) The Torc cardi is such a classic design :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I love the walk and the yarn shop - it’s so nice to see glimpses of everyday life in other countries! It seems very lush where you live!
I also LOVE the colorwork test knit that you made, and have now favorited some of her things on Ravelry! The colorwork socks look amazing as well! I’ve never knit colorwork socks though, I would be afraid that they would be too non-stretchy and wouldn’t pass the heel! Do you have any experiences of it?
Also love the idea of gifting a pattern, such a universal fitting gift!
I have never made colourwork socks either but I really want to give it a go! I am prepared to give my failed attempts to people with smaller feet :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I like to do knit alongs, but I usually finish after they are done.
Yep, me too but I have thought of that and will talk about it more in the next episode :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I would love a make along! Another great episode, thank you. I am in the middle of making apple picking sweater for 3 of my 6 grandchildren, my dil is making the other 3. I have been going to the same orchard my whole life and it brings me such joy that my boys also love it, as do their children. Also, I'm working on grandchildren birthday sweaters, they are all April to early August, with the newest one just born a week ago. They all ask for sweaters and this year they asked for a chicken also😂
Oh wow! So many jumpers! You are a hero and I bet the grandkids love it 🥰 Do you mean a knitted chicken or a real one? Both would be quite understandable 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
They would love real ones, but they are asking for the emotional support chicken. I tend to 4, 5 when the wee one is ready, grands each day and my 4yo is daily asking if what I'm knitting is for her! I am so truly lucky they love wooly things!
Brilliant! I have a nephew who is obsessed with chickens so my mum made him an emotional support chicken which now goes everywhere with him! It is so adorable! You are very lovely to have such knit-positive grandkiddies 🥰
You have no idea, I'm so lucky. Every year my 3 adult sons, their wives, all the grands and my wonderfully patient, lovely husband go with me on what the grands and I have come to call the "NH wool walk" (our wool show in our state). I am lucky my grands love the wooly wool I love to work with, my DILs also knit and crochet and the men in my life do not complain because they have wool hunting sweaters, wooly socks, wool and baby alpaca neck warmers.... etc. And to top it off I have found this lovely podcast! I am truly grateful!!!!
Always enjoy your videos. Funny you mention bunting because that’s what I’m working on while I watch. I’m making some crocheted triangle bunting for my fireplace. It’s a bit hot here and I needed something small to work on. I’d be interested in a MAL but again, it would be small item as working on a full sweater would be a bit much during the summer here. I do have three sweaters at the moment that I need to rip out and re-knit because they’re too big for me now. At least one of them will be the same Felix Cardigan as I love that piece. The other two are questionable whether I’ll re-knit or just re-purpose the yarn.
I completey agree: small, flexible and long term! Thank you for sticking with me 🥰
Thank you for another lovely, informative podcast. I love your knits and your joy of knitting!
Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Dear Kathryn, what a pleasure to watch your vlog once again. I’m following you since episode 1. Your happy way to talk about what you’re working on, your visits and life in general is always so enjoyable. I’m currently knitting the marseille sweater. Looking forward to the next episode. All the best. Isabelle
That is so kind of you to say! I really appreciate it :) Thank you for sticking with me 🥰
Fancy colour work is my next big thing. I'm doing a workshop soon to build confidence. Currently I stick to stripes and intarsia
A workshop is a great idea for confidence :)
Hi Kathryn. I am new here after having heard about you on Corine's podcast. Your knits are beautiful! I loved especially the art nouveau colorwork. You will laugh...I sat crocheting my Mars Tee because I don't knit. I love knit items but have never learned. I am so enjoying the challenge of crocheting with wool fingering weight to get a look that reminds me of knitting. Right now, I am using cotton though for my tee. Happy knitting from The Netherlands 🧶
Hello in the Netherlands! Of course; crochet :) I always forget because I can't crochet 😂 Did another podcaster give me a shout out? That is so sweet! Can you tell me the name of the podcast so I can thank them? Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@madebymoomeeno I am going to start binge watching your earlier podcasts. So I am sure you will see more comments as I go. I am looking how far the yarn shop is from here. Have you been to the shop in Goch?
The podcast is called Creanelia. She does podcasts in Engligh as well as Dutch.
Lovely! Thank you for letting me know :)
I love your idea for the KAL. How would it work for newer knitters though? I haven't been at it long enough to have a stash or patterns I've had a while obviously.
I love your podcast! You're so sweet and I could listen to you all day 💙
You are absolutely right about the new knitters and I have a plan ;) Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment 🥰
Hi Kathryn. I love your videos. It's always nice to see testknits and yours are very pretty. I would love a Makealong, since we all have treasures in our librarys, that are waiting for their time to shine. So let's do it. Have a great monday. Greetings from Brandenburg. Jenny
Hello in Brandenburg :) I think quite a few people seem to be interested in a MAL so I will have a think about the logistics. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I love watching your podcast. Thank you! I’m working on my second Reagan by Isabel Kramer. I seem to have a hard time getting the fit I want with all of my garments. Ugh!
That is such a nice pattern! I don't think there is a pattern from her I don't like. Thank you for watching 🥰
What a thoughtful gift! Your knits are glorious! ❤
Thank you so much for watching!
love the art nouveau❤ i have just discovered the glorious array of mortensen knits, I'd love to have another pattern and join a knitalong😊
Marvellous! I was just replying to comments and your lovely message popped up :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Hello from a sweltering hot Canada. I love your Art Nouveau...can't wait for it's release 😊. I went over to check out Woolyknit DK for the Art Nouveau, since I may make a purchase anyway...and it is on sale at the moment!...but I'm wondering if there is enough yardage on a cone, so I shall wait until the pattern is available.
That's a great idea! If you are on Ravelry, you can see the yarn amounts in the test group for the sweater on Elenor Mortensen's group pages :) Although something in a more summery fibre might suit the weather with you better! Thank you for watching 🥰
What about a “Moomin-along”? 😊
Haha that's a great idea :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I love the knitted square blanket behind you on the sofa! What pattern is that? 🤩👌✨🌸
I'm afraid I can't take credit as my mum made it :) It is this pattern www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/a-day-out-blanket-kal Thank you for watching 🥰
I would love to participate in a MAL using stash yarn and/or patterns.
Brilliant! I will talk about it on the next episode. Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi! I really love your sweater, the brown color you chose is amazing! I would like to have some of the Woolyknit yarn as well, but as I am living in Europe I'm afraid the toll taxes will be too much for me. Did you have to pay a lot for importing this wool from the UK to Europe, or did you buy it while in the UK? Anyway, I really love your podcasts, I have seen 2 so far but planning to start from the beginning. Thanks for all the hard work for making this!
Hello! I actually ordered to be delivered in Germany. Two things to keep in mind: 1. double-check the limits for the value of a parcel because, if it is under the limit, it will be much lower in import fees, OR, 2. wait until there is a discount or sale because I find the savings cancel out the cost of postage and import :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn. I'm curious about how you find out about all of the test knits that you sign up for. I have never done a test knit, but I think that it would be fun.
Hello! I find out about test knits by signing up for newsletters from the designers I would like to test for, following others on instagram, and following hashtags like testknit and testknitting so calls come up in my feed. I apply for a lot more than I actually get though :) Thank you for watching 🥰
@@madebymoomeeno thank you. There's a lot of ideas for me there!
Hi Kathryn, oooh yes I'd be up for that sock recipe. I rediscovered sock knitting this last winter...
Love the art nouveau sweater!
I will get on it during the summer break when I have a little time off ;)
Just found your podcast, really enjoyed your very relaxed approach and lovely to see your FOs and WIPS. Always enjoy video-visiting LYS’s 🧶
That is so kind of you to say :) Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn, a little hello from Denmark. Really enjoying following allong your knitting journey. I like the idea of a MAL using deep stash yarn and patterns. I do try to knit through my stash, but somehow I managed to buy new yarn for all my projects this year 😅 so a MAL could very well be the gentle push I need 🙏
Hello in Denmark! I visited Copenhagen earlier in the year and it was lovely. I hope to go back again very soon :) I know what you mean about the stash; the balance for me is more yarn in than out but I can't help it 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰
Your videos are very soothing and positive - thank you! ☺Greetings from Estonia. While watching this episode I was finishing up my beautiful Patronella colorwork socks by Marita Karlsson using Gepard´s Cash Sock Chunky 🧶
Hello in Estonia! I have never actually made colourwork socks but the Moomin book will definitely spur me on :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
