Thank you Clo, I love your videos. It is easy to listen to you, you make the content very interesting. I have been knitting for years but have learned so many new things from you that has made my knitting easier (less errors!).

[@megumim6795]

totally agree with you. That said, I VERY MUCH appreciate the pattern with diagram, cuz I almost always change or alternate the pattern and want to get the basic idea of its shape, and size of everything (not only bust size and arm length). I don't know why, but many recent patterns mainly from Scandinavia don't include diagrams and it really annoys me, since I pay for them...

I just found you and I loving all your content! I live in Vancouver and I am very interested in all the new to me yarns available in your area. I have been looking into how to add inseam pockets to my cardigans but can’t find anything. Thanks for all the info given on alteration ❤

Hi I've just found you and have prescribed to your channel just love it the sweater you are wearing in this video where I can I find the pattern thanks ❤

About changing the gauge: don't you think it's still ok if you can find a size in the pattern that will result in the right circumference with your gauge?

[@victoriacutler3612]

Excellent tips. 😃 just discovered you through the Espace tricot vids you did with Naomi. So happy to have found you. What pattern is the sweater you are wearing? I love the neckline.

[@julieknitsinthewoods2987]

Thank you Claudia❤ I’m wondering what you think about target ease depending on the weight of wool. Do you find you like more or less ease if knitting worsted weight rather than fingering?

If You knit a 1 ply yarn in around in sted of back and forward.
