    Wow I love the fingerless mitts and Ingrid sweater.
    I have small hands and long fingers to so I may try out that pattern with your modifications! 😍 thanks for sharing! I enjoy watching you while my baby sleeps on me. 🥰
    I appreciate you content and the Godly spirit behind it. Too many podcasts make me feel discontent with what I have and yours never does! It just inspires creativity in my life. 🙂

    Every once in awhile you need to treat yourself. That yellow yarn will make a beautiful spring hat and will give you a lot of pleasure wearing it. I recently treated myself to a wool throw woven in Ireland. I vacillated about getting it & finally gave in. It will be so nice and warm over my achy knees. It's not fancy, but it's very well made and my purchase not only supports the Irish mill, but also a yarn shop in the state from where I purchased it. I kept telling myself I could make a throw for less $, but then the 3 Arthurs (all Itises) that showed up this year reminded me there are many days now that isn't possible. Now I'm debating adopting a sheep on a woman owned croft in Scotland. I know.... crazy. My snowdrops are the only thing poking through so far. It hasn't stayed warm long enough to tempt anything else. Hoping that will change soon. Happy Easter to your whole family.

    Great episode Amber.
    I love your Shift Cowl, the colors are so pretty. I agree with you about having a cowl that hugs your neck so the cold air doesn't get in. I just finished the Sockhead Cowl by Kelly McClure, it was an enjoyable knit, easy and most of all it is close fitting and really cozy.
    I really liked the fingerless mitts, once again your color choice sells it.
    Upon seeing your Ingrid Sweater, I have decided to make it. Yours is beautiful. Your knitting is so nice the stitches are so uniform and neat. I have had it in my favorites for a long time, you have motivated me, thank you.
    I also use a lot of acrylic yarn for my church chemo hat group, I use mostly Carron Simply Soft. It was recommended for heads that are very sensitive after treatment. Like you after knitting for a long while I can't wait to get back to my wool.
    I hope that you will find time to talk about some summer tops.
    Take care

    Love how your cowl turned out. Do you ever feel as knitters we are a little off in our seasonal knitting? I always knit my warm and cozy sweaters in the winter and my lightweight sweaters in the summer. It seems it would serve us better the other way round. This way we would be ready for the season. I have just been thinking about this lately. 🤔

Been watching you for years and love to see the changes in the area garden and family over the years..wish I had commented more back then! Living down south now has changed my things to know categories to summer things more so yes to more ideas! Still learning at age 66😮😊. Oh and love the fingerless gloves .I’ve made many for gifts and are great for not so cold winters as I think they have down here..and LOVE the yellow!

    Lovely podcast episode Amber, I really love your Shift. I’ve just finished one in DK yarn and it comes all the way up my neck which is perfect for our cold winters. Maybe you could use a thicker yarn to achieve this too? The idea your friend has to double the thickness of the crochet shawl is excellent, what a fantastic idea. Also, yes to video on summer tees. I hope you have a beautiful Easter, Amy x

    Always great to watch your podcast & to see all the lovely projects you finished or working on. Last fall I made the Anker’s Summer shirt but didn’t get to wear it yet. I made the Shift cowl & have various yarns to make another one including the Edition 3 yarn. Seeing yours in the Schoppel yarn makes me want to get ready to make another one. I have a couple projects that are almost done so before casting on something else I need to get at least one finished. I have 1 more sleeve to do for the Classic Cozy raglan sweater.
    Looking forward to seeing more episodes from you.

    The color of your Ingrid sweater is so beautiful and it definitely compliments you! I feel the same way about cotton or linen yarns, love the fabric but not easy to work with. I'm torn because I really want to make some summer knits but I just don't know what fiber to use lol. I've used scheepjes cotton in the past and it hasn't been as bad as others I've tried.
    Love the yellow yarn! Yellow is my favorite color because it just screams joyful and bright to me. It'll be a beautiful hat!

    Hi Amber, I love your Ingrid Sweater. That pattern has been on my radar for a while now. I just started the Ankers Sweater which is the long sleeve version of the Summer Shirt. I'm liking the pattern so far & I'm using Holst Coast held double. My plan is to knit the summer shirt too & I have Drops Belle already purchased for it. I knit the Sommerknus last year using Belle & love that fabric for summer tops. That dandelion color yarn is so pretty!

    Love your shift cowl! The colors are lovely! 😊. An episode on summer tees would be great. I think it is hard to find a good pattern for that.

    I make fingerless mitts with no thumb at all for my BFF, she says it's better for her when driving....so I made up my own recipe...😉. This would be so adaptable.
    My goal is to finish some WIPs so I can make the "photography shawl", but I think I'm going to do a gradient vs solid or tonal. 🤔
    I had to laugh, your brown is my green!! Love greens but can't wear them because they make me look ill!! 😂😂

    And the green sweater is so detailed. How much did you pay for the green yarn. The vibrant yellow is hat worthy.
    How much do you pay for this yarn. I am just trying to work out how much we pay in comparison for these yarns.

      Hi Rosemary. I honestly can't remember how much I paid for the Cascade 220 (the green yarn) when I bought it a couple of years ago, but it is around $8.00 a skein (220 yards) right now. So it's a very affordable yarn. The yellow yarn was $30 for almost 700 yards. That is hand-dyed, farm grown fiber though, but still a really decent price for what it is.

    I’m new to your channel this year and I’m loving your podcast!! The granny shawl is absolutely gorgeous. I’m in Australia & we don’t have yarn bee but they make some beautiful yarns. How many rows do you make in the square before you fold it in half and continue with the shawl? It’s such a clever idea! Thanks

    with your shift cowl perhaps you could pick up the top edge and knit a few rows of rib in another wool that has a bit more elasticity, that might bring it in for you?💞 seems a shame to do all that lovely knitting and not be able to wear it.
