Hey! Thinking about your niece's sweater - what if you just go with completely different colors for the sleeves? Maybe a tonal purple and a different speckle you have and you could do the cuffs in the pink and the collar with the purple to bring it all together? You could definitely play around with making it fun and somewhat cohesive:)
I had the same thought. Maybe do all of the ribbing in a different solid, like a blue or a purple, and choose a different speckle to go with it. It sounds like your niece has a personality that would appreciate a super fun a little bit wild color scheme.
Your sweater is beautiful, love the green on you! Your nieces' sweaters are so cute - I need to knit those sweaters for my grandkids. I laughed while you were talking about not remembering what project you intended for the yarn you ordered - that's me too - haha I think we need to write our intentions on paper! Looking forward to your next podcast. Thanks!
Hello! Love the new sweater! I can’t wait for the pattern to come out. I am thinking your niece’s sweater would look adorable with color blocked sleeves. If you had a bluish color that kind of goes with the speckles it would be beautiful. Yay you got your Holst in! I’m still waiting for mine. So it must be getting close.
@ the storm sweater is an option, this just looks a bit easier, I’ve heard the sleeves in the storm sweater are a bit of a challenge?? I’m finishing the second sleeve if s sweater right now and have a tiny one to knit before Sunday 😂. Goals: all sweater gift knits gone before Dec 1st next year!
I’ve knit the adult storm sweater and I don’t remember the sleeves being that bad. Gifts done by December 1st would be awesome but I keep adding on one more gift. 😂
@ then maybe I’ll knit that. I’ve knit two of her patterns and loved them. I have yarn for a vest. The storm sweater would be great for boys and girls, so…..:)
I really enjoy your podcast. I used to watch the Creabea but the podcast she put out following the election here in the US caused me to stop watching her and buying any more of her patterns. The comments she made about our newly elected president were extremely inappropriate and I felt like I could no longer support her.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you end up doing for your littlest niece’s sweater!

She definitely has the personality to go with it!

I think I’m going to go with a different yarn for the speckled. It won’t match but I still think it will look good and match her personality.
I just finished a sweater in that exact same colour!!!😊😊
Nice!
Ooh I hope the staffen sweater will come in child sizes! It would be my perfect next Christmas grandkid sweaters!!!!
I don’t think she has any plans for that, but I bet you could modify the pattern for a smaller person.

Hi could you pick a different color out of the speckled yarn to knit the sleeves on your niece’s sweater?

I’m sorry you felt that way. I didn’t find her comments offensive. I think it’s natural to feel some apprehension with any new leader.
