Your unnamed sweater is so classy! I love it. You are a wonderful designer. I always love your videos. I look forward to the release of the unnamed sweater.
That John Doe sweater looks really good!
Thank you so much! 💙
I’m not much of a shawl knitter, but that sweater 🥰 it would be ideal for my husband. So I’ll wait for the testknit call for that one. I have some beautiful navy blue Nutiden waiting in stash for a man’s sweater… ❤
I am a decades long knitter and remember when sturdy wools were slowly replaced by 100% merino wools. We all admit that the act of knitting is stress relieving, even if the techniques are challenging. Small hand repetition releases serotonin. We are comforted. Softness is comforting, and what can ever be softer in our world than two strands of silk alpaca held together? Three strands, I guess. The visual halo of these garments is also magical, and soothing for our family and friends to see us so enveloped.
The fiber burn test is genius! Thanks for talking about this 🩵
Thank you for watching! It’s such a clever way of learning about fibre and fabric I love how genius and creative fibre people are!
I love the way you said Well you set it on fire. I laughed so hard. It is so true! That IS exactly what you do.
It’s one of the few times in life where you just have to set it on fire! 🤣
Hi Jonathan! Thank you for a wonderful episode, I would def knit your patterns for my husband!
I love your jumper ……it’s so elegant and finely detailed. Your shawls are brilliant and with their double thickness will be perfect for a ‘hot house flower’ like me! 😂 I applied for the test knit 😊 Great episode as ever 🎉
Thank you so so much 💙💙💙
Jonathan, I keep coming back to this podcast and checking out your sweater. It is truly lovely and I cannot wait for the pattern to be released.
Congrats to you!
I’m looking forward to the release of your shawl pattern. I want to be able to use any yarn weight that I enjoy. Can’t wait to knit it even though it’s finally warm (29 C) here in Ontario.
Oh I can’t wait till your sweater pattern comes out. Another great podcast , thank you
Oh Jonathan! Your sweater is just gorgeous! I have three sons and I would knit this for all of them! I have some Ito yarn that would love to become your shawl!
I can not wait to knit the un named sweater,,,,,can’t wait for the pattern release…will definitely be purchasing…
Beautiful job on the sweater! I would love to test knit it for my husband.
My "charity" work is that I just returned early this morning from volunteering in Ukraine, in some of the small villages. This is my second time going this year, and I am hoping to return toward the end of the year also, if I can get the funds raised. I was knitting on a small cowl, with impromptu gansey type motifs so I would have something easy for the times we were traveling from one placed to another. For that, i'm using Onion fingering yarn. The wool and nettles make a cooler, drapier yarn. Now that I'm home, I'm working on a cotton-linen tee and a garter shawl of my own design. I am happy to catch up with this episode, and look forward to your next one! Thank you for the wonderful content!!
Thank you. very much. You are wonderful!
You should be very proud of your unnamed sweater. You did an excellent job.🧶
Lovely episode again, thank you ☺️ I am so excited for the utility shawl, I already got the yarn for it 🎉
Yay! I’m so excited about it!
Your jumper looks fantastic! Can’t wait to knit it 😍
Ah thank you so much! I’m excited about it!
I went and followed your instagram for the sole purpose of getting to apply for a future "unnamed sweater" test knit! It's stunning
Love your unnamed sweater! Will be ready for the pattern release. Congratulations on taking this big step!
Thank you! I’m nervous but very excited about it.
You unnamed sweater is looking fabulous … great design..
Good to hear a bit of a format shake up as well. Nice knitting per usual.. you should really go for that brioche sweater. 😉 Good luck with grading! It's a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for answering my unbranded yarn question, brilliant answer, I'm heading outside with the yarn. Fingers crossed!
I absolutely love your sweater and can't wait for the pattern.
So unfortunately the yarn turned out to be mostly acrylic though I know there is a little will as it prickles on my face - fortunately it will be great for scarves or cowls as I know I'll be able to wear it next to my skin. Yay!
The unnamed sweater is amazing, I'm in for a spot in the testknit ;) It immediatly came to my mind Pathways, because the lines come from the neck (center) and you can choose one or more to follow with your eyes :) try the name in Irish.
Beautiful sweater 😍, love the simplicity in your pattern. Would like to test knit this sweater in the future.
You're so right about Summer knitting lol! I don't like to knit for summer during Fall or Winter but then it takes me a while to decide myself and now I've picked a pattern but it's already June 19th 🥲
Your designs are gorgeous! That raglan sweater with the ribbing going down the sleeves us genius!
Yes yes will get the pattern and knit jumper ASAP ❤
I love your unnamed sweater…simply beautiful! Always a joy to watch you🥰
The unnamed sweater looks wonderful, and I'd love to knit it when you decide to release it :D i usually feel that with most raglan sweaters out there is too narrow of a chest area visually and it sort of pulls the shoulders in and narrows the flat upper chest part? I think the increases are not apart wide enough across the shoulders. Yours doesn't seem to do that and I appreciate the details in the lines as well!
Thank you! I’m excited to write it up and get it graded for lots of bodies!
Working on a cardigan testknit and two summer knits - a Tolsta tank and a magpie tendency. Luckily (unluckily?) for me our summer knits season where I live is loooooong. When Canadian and European podcasters starts talking about fall coming at the first of September and it’s still 100 degrees Fahrenheit I’m not ready for heavy wools yet. I look forward to your unnamed sweater, I’m going to watch for that test call ;) .
I’m just crocheting granny squeres for baby blankets. I will give my blankets to charity that makes maternity packs for Ukraina.
❤ the microphone.
I don’t knit for men but I would like to see it available in women’s sizes , please 😊Love the details.
Jonathan I love all your podcasts and the things you knit. You mention a yarn shop in London - a place that is quite inaccessible on a day to day basis from where I live in Devon but I’m sure they have mail order. I’m looking to buy some Knitting for Olive yarn and I know you use this sometimes. Would you let me know the name of the shop please? Thank you. Keep up the good work and posting the podcasts, they really do inspire me.
is there a technique in knitting that you havent tried but want to? if so what holds you back?
Sizing Are lot of work, i really wanna have a program that can calculate the grades for me,do that exist...? Do anyone know i really wanna know. Ive been grade for all the years just with my pen thats sooo slowwork! Love your podcast been here from episode 1!! Have a great knitting summer 🌹😍💞
You live in a small apartment. Where & how do you store your yarn?
i look forward to the release of your utility shawl. do i understand correctly that it can be made with dk as well?
The charity knitting that I've seen around in my area (mostly hats or smaller items) is usually required to be machine washable. It sounds like the yarn you're using for your blanket wouldn't be machine washable. Is that a concern at all?
Love the sweater, pattern please
I’m gonna do it! Thanks for the support!
Seems easier to get unknown Yarn wet to see if it smells like a farm 😂
This is so true!
