    I DID IT! I started the musselburgh hat. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I couldn’t have done it without it. I’m proud of my 75 year old self. I didn’t learn to knit until I retired so videos are great for me. Love your podcasts.

    Dear Nicole, I first discovered your youtube videos as I was recovering from 2 hip replacements 2 years ago. I watched all of them, and they took me out of myself, a d brought me happiness and joy as I watched you share your beautiful work. You made a difference in my life, and so many of us faithful viewers have missed your gentle presence!! I wish I could do something for you in return, but just know you are being sent positive healing energy as you get better day by day. Lots of love!!!❤

    I am 71 years old. Knitted since age 7. I have every knitting needle and crochet hooks Chiaogoo makes and have used all of them . I would never part with any especially at your age unless I was upgrading. I don’t have other brands but I do have duplicates as I use the 2 circular method frequently. I make everything- hats, blankets, adult and baby stuff , mittens, toys, your yarn holders tote floats, scarves, shawls and you name it I have knit or crocheted it. My stash is big but not hoarder sized. I teach and give away what I can’t use yarn wise. I usually have 4-8 projects going at once. Most are original designs ( I sell some) and some are others patterns but they are rare. I do go to the beach or a park to inspire me . I sit out on my patio and enjoy my miniature horse 🐎 while I knit. I have learned to really love my passion. I also facilitate 3cancer groups one local one, 2 on Facebook. I have stage 4 breast cancer but I really maximize my loves. Never lose sight of your real goals girl. Life is too important to do things for other people’s benefits. Be true to you!

    I feel the same way about the Steven west shawls. His videos are fantastic and so are his techniques. He's truly a knitting genius. BUT the finished products aren't always my personal aesthetic. I worked so hard on last year's staying caught up and such and then ended up ripping the whole thing out. My plan for this year is to set aside some scrap yarn and follow along with his weekly videos to see how the techniques are worked. I will either work that technique into another project OR once I see how it's working up if I love it... THEN I'll knit the actual shawl.

    #question As I am working on the ribbing of a sleeve while enjoying the podcast, I was wondering whether you - as a fellow English style knitter - may have some tips to make it less tedious, more enjoyable and maybe even a bit faster. I tried continental knitting, but that seems not to be doing it for me. Thanks for providing me with such a nice and informative company while crafting!

    You could sew a satin ribbon or a thin piece of pink fabric to the inside of the strap so that is the foundation and it won’t stretch. Keep it pink and you won’t see it at all.

    I just recently finished the perfect fit course and the spreadsheet is so helpful for changing the length of the leg. If I want to get heels, toes and cuffs out of a mini I can only get 15 rounds for the cuff, so I’ve created separate sheets for a 20 round vs 15 round cuff, and I’ve also got different sheets for 9 inch circulars vs magic loop as my tension changes. So helpful!!

    The Ripple is such a really cute top! I would think another solution would be, if the straps do stretch significantly, you could add a cute tie to the back to join the straps into kind of a racerback style. I would probably use icord, which you could just loop under the straps in the back (like near the center of your shoulderblades) and then tie it into a cute bow.

    I tried helical knitting for the first time in my last sweater project to alternate hand dyed skeins and I really loved it. My only hang up is how to end it so that I can do the hem and bind off. Am I missing something or overthinking? Any help is appreciated.

    Two thoughts, firstly how cute would a dress look in the pinks from Toaster's blanket in the zig zag pattern. Secondly seeing the slip stitch sock, I thought it would also be great to have a pair of socks to match Kent's hat & Toasters blanket. Mum, Dad & Toaster :-)

    #Question - Ok, so my stubborn self has finally managed to learn how to knit (after 9 years and thanks in large part to your amazing tutorials!) and I was just browsing through needle sets online to get a feel for what's out there and GOSH it is so confusing! I see sets with what appear to be standard length needles (5" or so?) and then "shortie" sets with needles that are maybe 3.5 or 4" long. Beyond the obvious, what's the difference? Does it have to do with hand size or comfort for the knitter, or does it have more to do with the projects you plan to work on? I have fairly small hands and joint issues, so I tend to lean on the shorter side for crochet hooks. Would shorter needles be better for me or no? Thanks so much!

    #question If you do the blanket as you say, working through the rainbow and then grouping the neutrals all together, won’t your blanket look very colorful most of the way through until you get to the end, or wherever the neutrals will be? What about spreading the neutrals out among the colors so that they are evenly dispersed among the colors? Just a thought… hmmm now you’ve got my brain working.

    Received Jellyfish Jubilee and Sock Island today - they are gorgeous! Really looking forward to Sock Week :-)
    #question: I love the "catching floats" method of weaving in ends as you go. But I can always tell the stitch where I've caught the end or nonworking yarn, as the stitch is sitting incorrectly on the next round. It's not a big deal - I just knit that stitch through the back loop to get it reoriented - but wonder if I'm doing something wrong? I am a continental knitter so holding the working yarn in my left hand; and the old yarn in my right; would it make a difference if I switched? Thanks so much 🙂

    • @annettewiggins2220

      Replying to myself to add - you said shipping books is expensive because they're heavy but the USPS actually has something called "Media Mail" which is a special rate for books! It's actually way cheaper to ship than regular packages, might be something to look into if you're trying to gift your knitting books!

    Is there a way to enter to get a chance to win the leftover yarn from your blanket/hat? I have been dreaming about a Battenberg blanket for years now and am about a hundred squares into it (two inch squares, though). Getting different colored yarns is the toughest part for me (new knitter, no scraps. Used to crochet only with acrylic yarn)
    Love your podcast! I look forward to it every week
