Love your projects and the color choices!

[@CNDVL]

Thank you so much!!! 💗

[@nessavlog]

Ahh!! omg i love the skirt!

[@CNDVL]

AHHH THANKS GIRLL 💗💗

[@rebecca-72]

Hey, just discovered your podcast, I really like your aesthetic and the skirt is AMAZING! When I went over to Ravelry to check out the pattern I was a bit underwhelmed. I really like your midi version and it seems to me that with a garment that must move with your hips and butt, a yarn with more memory than just cotton is going to look better. Great choice!

[@CNDVL]

Thank you!!! Watching how the yarn combo knit up definitely added to the fun of the piece as well! I was originally going to go for a cotton linen yarn for the skirt but I wasn’t feeling it. Happy with the way it ended up turning out ☺️

[@contempl8ive]

I like your style! I want to knit the emotional support chicken too😍

[@CNDVL]

Thank you!!! The chicken looks like such a fun knit and a wonderful piece to put on the couch as decor too!! 😂🤩

[@helenaut2245]

Great podcast! Love the in depth information on each of your knits, your swatches are so interesting to look at. I'd love to your favorite yarns to use, I'm super sensitive too and we seem very similar (mohair is itchy, alpaca is even worse, and even heavy merino is itchy to me!)

[@CNDVL]

Omggg yayyy so glad we can relate!! At this point my go to is Sandnes Garn Babyull (literal baby yarn 😂) it’s my favvvvv. Great colour selection too. I’m planning to just use up all my mohair in stash on a vest as a layering piece.

[@helenaut2245]

i’ve gotta try out baby yarn what a good tip!!!

[@RotePunkte]

The skirt looks beautiful! I really like the lenght and the split on the front side instead on the back as the pattern calls for.

[@CNDVL]

Thank you 💗💗 the pattern actually gave us options for front, side and back!! I love that it’s so customizable ☺️

[@clairescozycorner]

alpaca being soft is such a LIE 😭 the vest looks so good so far! Excited to see what it looks like finished!

[@CNDVL]

HONESTLYYY it’s just super itchy to me hahaha 😭 & thank you 💗

[@munchmary]

For in between for test knits. I like the feeling of being in a community with other knitters but I’ve noticed that I don’t always want to stick to the pattern. I make adjustments to my preference 😅 also I hate short deadlines but it makes me finish a project then put away because I hate weaving in my ends 😂
I’m glad you find test knitting enjoyable

[@CNDVL]

I love that you customize your knits!! And yess I agree, I would be lying if I said these deadlines haven’t kept me up some nights 😅 but they do give me the pressure I need to finish up the knits!! I also hate weaving in ends so I totally get that 😭 thank you sm for watching and coming back to my channel 💗

[@7pm_knits]

Same for the one main project even with multiple WIPS! How is the Diamond Mohair?

[@CNDVL]

HI GIRLLL 💗 honestly!!! My brain can’t take 10 things at once. I stress too easily 😂 the diamond mohair is very thick! I wouldn’t even call it mohair. Definitely more light fingering weight yarn to me. It’s really smooth and plushy. But I’m not sure if I would buy it again 🤔

[@leyrekennedy6559]

How do you even begin to test knit? I’ve never done that and it sounds like fun!

[@CNDVL]

It’s so much fun!!! It was really hard for me to find test knit opportunities at first! I applied to a few but none of them selected me. Then one day I got accepted to a piece that I was super excited about and the others just eventually followed!!
