    Maybe you could turn that cabled panel into a tapestry like wall hanging. I agree it’s too beautiful to rip out!

    The colors on your folk rug sweater remind me of the Cheshire Cat from Alice and wonderland! I absolutely love love love it. Stunning!

    My vote is to make a bag with your sweater piece. That way you could still “wear” it out as an accessory. I’m envisioning some fringe along the bottom and an embroidered guitar strap for your shoulder. Would fit with your current folk music vibe!!

    • @MerryweatherKnitting
      @MerryweatherKnitting  Рік тому

      Oh what an absolutely dreamy idea! I think knitted bags are stunning and I don't have a single one~ this may just be it. Thank you so much! 🤍

    If you have enough yarn to maybe finish the front you could find a similar yarn or maybe even buy more of the same yarn and make a vest ? If you don’t have that I think the idea of making a pillow seems like a very good way of saving this beautiful piece 💜

    Could you turn the sweater panel into a wall hanging? Esmeralda’s fairy socks are perfection! I’m currently knitting DK socks for my husband while catching up on your lovely videos.

    I think a pillow is awesome! I think if you put the ribbing at the top too and picked up stitches for ribbing at the sides, you could seam it to a different piece for the back and it would look super intentional… or you could just steek it down past the ribbing! Ooh, maybe you could fold it over somehow and make it into a hot water bottle holder or a tea cozy??

    • @MerryweatherKnitting
      @MerryweatherKnitting  Рік тому

      Oooh I love that idea- and the hot water bottle cover!! Ever since you shared your colorwork one with me I've been dreaming of knitting one up as well. 😍

    Loved this video as always! With the purple cabled panel I would cut a circle and sew a backing to it so it can become either a pillow or placemat for pans. Maybe you could also felt it and make it into a tea cozy as little big knits did in one of her videos ❤

    Just found your podcast and I really enjoyed watching you talk about your projects. Love your sweater and the motif you designed. Just subscribed and will be coming back to watch more of your videos. I have a small podcast here on UA-cam myself and I love when I find a new great channel like yours to add to my list while I knit. ❤

    So cool that you finished your Folk Rug Sweater 😊 when I saw your Tudore Roses sweater, I was also thinking a pillow. But maybe you could somehow use it as a dress for one of your daughters?
    I love the mittens! Mine are also always in different sizes, although I always knit them one after another, without anything else in between😂 but it‘s fine, as long as they keep your hands warm😉

    • @MerryweatherKnitting
      @MerryweatherKnitting  Рік тому +1

      Ooooh what a brilliant idea to incorporate it into a little dress!! 💖 I am so glad I'm not the only one knitting two different sized mittens 🤭 but you're so very right- as long as they keep your hands warm that's all that matters. 🥰

    The Bifurca vest looks gorgeous and I think it’s totally your style! Speaking of style, I love what you’re wearing! Is it a dress? If so can you tell me where you bought it?

    • @mama_knitter
      @mama_knitter Рік тому

      Also totally relate with you to social media, I’ve been off Instagram for years but will check in here and there. I like not feeling dependent on it and I want to keep it that way.

    • @MerryweatherKnitting
      @MerryweatherKnitting  Рік тому

      Thank you so much! I love your approach to instagram. I agree, I think there is truly nothing to be lost by not engaging so mindlessly. And you're so kind! I actually made the dress I'm wearing. It's a pattern available on etsy (and free i think elsewhere, but I couldn't find the link, maybe on her website?). It's called "A Little Shirred Dress" by designer alwaysmakingclothes. 🥰

    My son just gave me my second hand me down phone, the first of which I never got going, just took photos on, I find Instagram very overwhelming, and too much information, and I don’t know how to navigate it at all! I might try a bit harder to navigate it,but I don’t do it ,my social media is ravelry, and UA-cam. I think you should make a vest out of your panel, take care from 🇨🇦
