    You have been very busy. I do hope you all have a wonderful life in Dublin. It's fun to watch your travels and your knitting projects. Little Mac seems to take it all very well. Thanks for sharing with all of us.❤❤❤

    Wow, a long sleeve sweater in one day? BRAVO! I can imagine how many hours you put in on that day. You have such dedication to your goal. Admirable (no sarcasm or negativity intended by this message) Happy Trails!

    Dublin!! How exciting! I can’t wait to see what new adventures you all get up too. I really enjoyed this video and getting to see patterns that I haven’t seen before. Lots of future knitting inspiration. Please take us along when you start going to yarn shops! 😊

    I love it when Mac looks at the camera with his big eyes, haha. Also, if I lived in Montreal I'd be so happy to see that bin in a thrift store, it's perfect for a scrap project!

      Nice! Yeah, it takes some time/focus to whittle things down - I think having some kind of deadline/reward helps - I was thinking about all the European yarns I would have access to once we moved, so I was v modified to clear things out 😄

    The yarn shop this is knit in Dublin is lovely. They are super helpful and have a nice selection of yarn especially Irish owned brands. Also vibes and scribes in cork is a must visit if you are ever near cork! I try to order from either of those if they have what I need because an post (the Irish postal service) is pretty cheap and quick but if they don’t have what I need or it isn’t in my budget I like to order from hobbi or love craft but both can take a while to arrive. Best of luck on your move!

      Hi George Ann, I don’t have a pattern for the micro granny square top unfortunately, but the tops that are made with the larger granny squares are inspired by a top from Shishi.fbr on Instagram. She has a video that shows pretty clearly how to make them🙂 instagram.com/reel/C5YP4zStLhn/?igsh=MTJjenFoanAyeW9wMA==
