Aww Marlene, you made me blush !!! I so enjoyed our chats lately and it's been so fun casting on a matchy project. I look forward to seeing our different takes on it ! And please keep talking about your spinning, it's so interesting to hear about !
Congratulations on almost making it to one year of podcasting! I enjoy your videos a lot and your projects are always so wonderful. Love your hair this way, too.
Thank you so much! 🧡
I have been listening to your podcasts for about 2 months now and I'm really enjoying it. I'm working on a tunisian crochet sweater test while watching your video. Thanks for another wonderful episode!
I’m glad, thank you for being here 🤎✨
Another lovely episode Marlene! I truly enjoyed seeing your Stick Season grow in the test group.
A little tip for knitting with unspun held double is to preball up the yarn into palm sized balls and then place them in a yarn bowl as you knit to reduce the tension from pulling on the yarn. This will help with the splitting.
Thank you so much Mia! 🧡
I have been trying too pre pull some yarn every once in a while and it has been helping with less breakage which I think is a similar solution and I don’t have a yarn bowl (yet)
Happy Almost 1 year anniversary! I think it's so nice to make a matching stick season sweater for your boyfriend! I don't know you guys, but it will be so cute!
I can't wait to see your colorwork adventures. I've knitted a few pairs of colorwork socks and a headband, and really enjoyed it. I really want to make a colorwork sweater, but I haven't find the perfect one yet, so I really love all the colorwork sweaters mentioned, maybe I'll find the perfect one.
I was working on my scrappy blanket, finished two squares during this podcast
🎉
hope you’ll find the perfect pattern for yourself soon and you’ll enjoy knitting it :)
I’m also planning on working some more on scrappy projects tonight ☺️
I’m so happy there’s another spinner in this world ☺️ I already know you will make such beautiful skeins of yarn!
🥰🥰🥰
I love both your sweaters and your socks are fabulous . I’m going to try to get some yarn so I can start making some for next year. You have really motivated me. Your hair looks great and I’m very confident to say we all love to hear about your spinning … everything wool is perfect 😍💖
I absolutely love the wavey hair! I am also just starting to try learn how to style my natural waves/curls and it’s so nice to see others doing that too!
thank you so much! that’s lovely 🥰
Love the addition of the photos of how you style your knits! Good to have inspiration ❤️
Your podcast anniversary day is also my birthday! 🎉
Your finished objects look perfect. It was surprising to get to know there are some hidden “mistakes”. It puts things into perspective: others would never notice any issue when looking at our missteps 😅 I casted on a Sweet Shop Blanket inspired by yours and I’m excited to knit on it into December as well, such a cozy knit!
Thank you for keeping me company, Marlene. I was watching you right after having put my daughter to bed and I need some “me time” 🙏
that’s such a cool coincidence!
and yeah that’s so true, it puts things into perspective! 😌
so happy you enjoyed a cozy evening with your knitting and I was able to keep you company ☺️
Marlene! Your finished objects are GORGEOUS! and I am SO excited to watch your spinning journey! Your first bobbin is looking so good and the fiber you chose looks amazing 😍
Thank you so much Ariel! This beginning spinning journey has been so much fun and I totally get your fascination with it now even more 🥰
Its my first time watching your poscast, I enjoyed it so much, just started spinning so don't feel bad we have to start some where. Until next time Happy Knitting.❤😊
that’s amazing, thanks so much for watching and I hope you enjoy your spinning time! :)
So glad I found your channel! Love putting it on after work while I have some me time and am able to work on my current knitting project. Currently getting through Gregoria Fiber's Judy sweater which I discovered through you, and have to say that your updates on it as you were test knitting helped me out a lot!
am I‘m so glad! love to hear that! enjoy the knitting process and eventually your finished garment
Perfect timing. Just finished school with the kids. Grabbed some coffee and sat down with my knitting and you popped up. 🎉
yay, I’m glad! ☕️❤ enjoy your knitting break and thanks for spending it with me!
I love both your sweaters and the Sunday socks have really inspired me to knit socks for Christmas next year. Love that you are spinning also. I have a spinning wheel and always wanted to spin but have not yet … maybe someday. Another great episode Marlene 💖💖💖
Thank you 😊
Once again a lovely Podcast ☺ Your finished objects both look gorgeous and I´ll definitely knit the Stick Season Sweater in the future. At the moment I´m knitting the Montrose Cardigan, a testknit for Coco Amour Knitwear and a pair of socks for my brother.
I’m planning on casting on the Harlow sweater soon as well! I’ll be knitting it along with you :)
Yayy ✨🍂💛
Thank you for sharing all your makes. I always get so inspired after watching your podcast. 🎉
Had such a lovely cozy Friday night watching your podcast and working on my cable knit sweater ❤️ thank you ☺️
You are the boss of your ban 😂 also I am So excited you are spinning!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
exactly!! 🤭 me tooo 🥰
I just made the petal drop socks on the needles you are using and they are perfect. I am a slightly tighter knitter than Florence. I love your newest projects!
that’s really good to hear, I think I might be too ;) thank you!
I'm currently working on a pair of socks that will be a Christmas present!! Lovely podcast as usual!!!
Hi Marlene! I recently got into knitting (while I was pregnant) and I found you. So happy for this! I'm currently working on 1 crochet cardigan and 3 knitting projects (the peacock blouse, the flutter buttershirt and the cloud sweater) and I was a monogamous maker 😅... And I have so many more projects ready to cast on! 😊 can't wait! Kisses from Italy
I love that for you 😊 and I know the feeling haha!
I can't beleive your podcast is almost a year old! It's been so much fun to get to know you over the past year!
Working on my Killiney Blouse while watching. All of your FO’s look great. And I love the idea of Sunday Socks as gifts. At the top of the year I bought Drops yarn to make all my family sweaters by Christmas but I have not cast on a single one! 😅 so everyone might end up with socks or beanies! I do think I’d like to make Emily Curtis’s Dad Sweater either for my Dad or Uncle. They both are very knitworthy and would love to have their own sweater. Hoping your partner enjoys his sweater and his birthday! Mine is November also!
You know it’s interesting to me that you weren’t paid for the WoolyKnit promotion, just gifted yarn. Gifted yarn is great but I’m sure there are many people who purchased just off your recommendation. I know I only knew of and purchased from them when Bethany of Well Loved Knits and Rebecca Clow had their offers with them. It only seems right you all would get a piece of the pie! Hoping that’s something that changes in our industry sooner. I don’t think there is anything wrong with being compensated for recommending a product you enjoy that led others to purchase it. 🤔
Oh yes! I also want to make that Dad’s Sweater too, hopefully in the new year ☺️
Hope you get some gift knitting done before the holidays and I do think socks and hats are great options! 🎄
I get what you are saying and I would very much agree that we have to change gears when it comes to paying people for beautiful content and advertisement and marketing basically. I have decided to allow brands to send me goodies to try out, if I would purchase them with my own money anyways or have purchased and enjoyed their goods before & if they’re not expecting anything particularly from me (no certain wording, X amount of postings or mentions) so it is up to me if and how I talk about it! This rule certainly makes more sense for smaller businesses and friends who have brands that I want to highlight and obviously I felt flattered by Woolyknit asking me to collaborate and had asked them if they had a budget to which they unfortunately said no, still I did say yes to this partly because I wanted to try more yarn / colors from them myself and because I thought that some of my followers and friends would like the discount they offered with no strings attached.
but I will certainly keep this in mind for the future and am only accepting about 10-20% of gift offerings and collaboration requests anyway because I don’t want my videos to become too ad heavy even though it doesn’t affect my judgment of the things at all! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this topic with me, it’s very appreciated ☺️🧡
Oh I felt the same about Jules shopupdates :)
Love your finished sweaters! Yes, Masham is pronounced how Jule pronounces it - ‘mass-um’. I believe the Masham breed of sheep are named after the town Masham which is North Yorkshire in the UK. 😊
A year?! Your hair looks very nice as does that lip color. Not sure if that’s new too but looks great on you.
All your knits are are beautiful.
I’m also just now knitting on sweater no. 26 in an orange, (yes, orange) color. May not be your preferred rusty type orange but rather more of a tomato-soup orange. Maybe influenced by High Fiber Knits. 😁
thank you patricia! I’ve been wearing some more tinted lip products again lately and enjoying it 🥰
that sounds awesome!
I just finished my second petal drop sock as I was watching , such a cozy episode . Regarding books, I think Emily Henry and Hannah Grace are quite distinct in how thru approach romance and I can definitely see why you might like one but not the other . For more books in the line of Emily Henry, I would suggest Rachel Lynn Solomon’s books (you have the tiny woman in some of those too, but she approaches mental health in a very nice way and the PNW setting might appeal to you). I also loved Julia Whelan’s “Thank you for listening” which is especially great on audio (:
Thank you so much for the recommendations! I will make sure to use my next audible credit on the last one you mentioned and check it out :)
It is crazy that the podcast is almost one!!!!! So happy to have discovered your channel almost a year ago : )
so happy to have you here for so such a long time already! thanks for watching ❤
I just finished my Traveler's Cardigan and had some trouble doing the button band the way that it was described in the pattern (stitches were way too loose) that's why I ribbed back and used my interchangeable needles and switch the needles every time when I knitted the button band - hope this description makes sense.
So if you're having trouble there is an alternative :)
thanks for sharing, I will keep this in mind when getting to the part in the pattern :)
Your hair looks perfect! But then it always does. ❤
Try the Sophie scarf for your small scarf project!
thanks for the recommendation!
I have knit this pattern at least 4 or 5 times already and am looking for another one to change it up :)
Wow schon fast ein Jahr, wie die zeit vergeht! Während des videos habe ich an meinem sweater no 18 marlene edition gearbeitet, ein richtiger full circle moment. 😅 Ich liebe deine Videos sehe und freue mich auf hoffentlich viele weitere jahre!
ja echt oder?
ooh wie cool! 🥰 dankeschoen, das hoffe ich auch!
