    Your sock pattern is just beautiful. I've knit your shawl pattern and loved it so I will have to try the sock pattern as well.

      Thank you so much!!! I am so glad that you enjoyed my shawl design, and I hope the sock delights you as well if you choose to knit them! 🥰❤

    I so excited for your release of your sock pattern. I am so inspired. I am working on easy slipper sock on straight needles. I am crochet pumpkins with acrylic yarn for my work for fall. I am also working on cowls for my co workers and family. So happy to see all your new projects. Happy knitting and sewing

      Thank you so much Kelly!! You are so encouraging and so very right, it's a wonderful feeling. 💖 What a generous gift to make cowls for your co workers i am sure they are going to love them! And acrylic pumpkins sound like such a fun project to get into the next season!! I have so much admiration for crocheting, for some reason I always have such trouble with it. Wishing you a wonderful week and weekend of creativity!! 🥰

    Omgoodness that child's jumpsuit is sooo cute! I also really love your adult jumpsuits!!! I will check out your sock pattern. It is wonderful to be able to make your own clothes. I am just now learning how to sew. It is going slowly and I am starting out with very small non garment projects but hope to make my own shirts and simple dresses. Loved the podcast!

    • @MerryweatherKnitting
      @MerryweatherKnitting  Рік тому

      Thank you soo very much!! 🥰 Oh yes, it is such a journey to learn garment sewing, but with each project you gain such knowledge and skill. I'm wishing you lots and lots of joy and delight as you continue sewing!! 😍 ❤ 🧶

    You are getting up to some very fun projects! I’m excited to see what you do with the dyes. I bought some cochineal and indigo this Spring, but I haven’t taken the time to play with them. There were sellers at the Maryland Sheep and Wool show that we’re selling seeds to grow dyestuff. I did resist because I know my time limitations, but it would have been fun.

    • @MerryweatherKnitting

      Thank you so much dear Beate!! Wise of you to know your limitations~ I have been trying to exercise the same restraint (it's so hard when you are very inspired, but it's better to go slowly!!). Cochineal and Indigo seem like such gorgeous dyes to experiment with, you must report back when you do begin to use them! I've just started this week and it feels so magical to see the fiber and fabric transform. ❤ 🧶

    Dear Gabriella, congrats on your handmade wardrobe, so beautiful! And how cute is this little piece for Esmeralda😍 I cannot understand how it‘s possible for you to knit on your sweater in these temperatures, wow! 🥵
    I am currently sitting in a rose park (in almost 30 degrees) and knitting on my Cosmo sweater by Rust Knitwear and on a Brioche sweater I design myself 😊 but I am not very far on both, so I don‘t have this huge piece of fabric that makes you so warm in summer 😂

    • @MerryweatherKnitting

      Thank you so very much, lovely!! 😍 ❤ 🧶 Oooh I feel your pain, I hope that in your corner it has cooled down. Those hot days make knitting on such a heavy project so tough, I usually wait until the sun sets and then open up alll the windows. What a lovely project- I have never knit brioche and so I am in awe of you knitting a sweater in brioche of your own design! How absolutely magical. I'm hoping you get all the knitting joy from working on your sweaters as the weather cools ;) ❤

      @@MerryweatherKnitting thank you so much for your answer, Gabriella :) I live in the same corner of the world as you. So, still too hot for the season, but definitely better now😉 you know what? I haven‘t knit brioche before either 😄 I was swatching with a yarn I liked, didn‘t really feel it in stockinette and just thought it might look nice in brioche. So I watched a video about brioche knitting, tried it out - and it did look so beautiful with this specific yarn! I have a store bought brioche sweater in my wardrobe I get so many compliments for when I wear it, so I had the idea to just knit it myself and that‘s what I am doing now😊 I can only recommend it, it‘s super easy and very fun. You are not doing the same thing all the time like when you knit stockinette in the round, but it‘s so much more enjoyable than ribbing. Happy knitting on your projects 🤗

    Thank you for the inspiring episode! I'm currently knitting on a pair of colorwork socks for a friend of mine but afterwards I would love to cast on your new sock pattern. The lace pattern really looks amazing! ❤

    Congratulations! On your sock pattern release. I marked it as a favorite in my Ravelery. I'm new to sock making, but have a goal pattern to work towards and actually have the perfect yarn to use. 🙂 Currently, I'm finishing up my first pair of socks, a knitted tee shirt, and a Peplum Top. The weather is starting to cool a bit so I'm anxious to get started on some cardigans, sweaters, and blankets.

      Thank you so very much!! 🥰 Ooh how wonderful to be coming to the end of those glorious warmer weather knits and to look forward to the autumnal, cooler weather ones. I find that sooo inspiring! Wishing you so much delight in your handmaking in the coming week ❤ 🧶
