I really appreciate that you kind of did the opposite of most podcasters for this type of video. I love that you spoke most about the yarn and what pattern you will pair it with rather than the other way. So many people are focused on knitting patterns (which I understand!) and then finding a yarn for it. Your way of “here’s a beautiful yarn that works for this pattern” is very refreshing! 🎉

@deborahcopeland384 2 years ago

Having a flexible mind, open to change, is what makes us creative. Plans should only be ideas that we allow to bloom in the most interesting direction. Thank you for your podcast. You have been a lovely companion for my morning knitting.

@bibliothekla 2 years ago

I think your approach to planning for the year ahead totally makes sense for you, and allows for lots of flexibility and creativity. I'm looking forward to seeing what all you make in 2024. The leftover-yarn hot water bottle cover promises to be super cute, whichever color combo you choose.

@nicolelafontaine1720 2 years ago (edited)

This is quite inspiring, thanks ! For your hot water bottle cover, I like the option with the purple yarn better, just because it seems to be more contrrasty. It is always a good idea to take a black and white picture, so you can see if you have enough contrast. Yes, I would love some more seasonal inspiration.

@Bub5257 2 years ago

I love option 2 for your hot water bottles cover. Thanks for a lovely podcast. 😊

@vickirainsberger1798 2 years ago

Fantastic podcast! I like the purple hot water bottle cover, but you could always make two

@Charlotte_Jensen 2 years ago

I think the purple combination is the most pretty.

@patriciahall8733 2 years ago

Purple combination is esthetically pleasing 👏🏻

@A_knitters_suitcase 2 years ago

Thank you Aude. I really enjoyed this episode about your future projects. Lots of inspiration there. I hope your 2024 will be full of knitting joy 😍

@carai7818 2 years ago

I love the purple combo. Thank you for a lovely podcast 😀

@barbh1505 2 years ago

You have a lot of exciting knits lined up for the new year. I look forward to watching your progress 🧶

@karenhattiberries9158 2 years ago

purple combo is stunning

@minipoppinz8991 2 years ago

Thank you Aude, another lovely episode looking at your future knitting possibilities!

@Laurie-q1e 2 years ago

I like the purple colour combination best. If you take a picture of the two combinations and switch it to black and white it usually helps to see if you have amount of contrast that you like.

@ruthp7370 2 years ago

Great video. For your fair isle hot water bottle cozy I like option 2 - with the higher contrast purple. Colour work is my favourite type of knitting and I think this relatively high contrast option for a home accessory would be a lot of fun to knit.

@ouineque 2 years ago

Hi Aude, this is the first video I watch from you. I really like how you plan to knit all these patterns from stash. Looking forward to see how your winter set will turn out! 😊

@maryp1224 2 years ago

i like the purple colorway for the hot water bottle. I used that same deep purple color and it more like a berry than what I consider "purple" and i think that will be pretty. thank you for all the great inspiration!! can't wait to see your projects throughout the coming year .

@uschiott2146 2 years ago (edited)

Hello Aude,
The colourways both are nice, I do like the purple better.
What a nice podcast, thank you a lot.
It would be loveley to see a seasonal episode of your ideas/plans for your wonderful yarns.
Happy knitting, Uschi

@jo-annethompson9645 2 years ago

Thanks Aude, I loved the colours of the Kinross and the Wild and Bare sock yarn. I get a thrill out of the prep for a project. Looking forward to updates.

@kate-emvintage 2 years ago

I enjoyed this look at your possible knitting plans. I think it’s good to have plans but, like you, to keep them flexible so that you knit what you feel like knitting. I like the purple option for the hot water bottle as I like those 3 colours together. I think a quarterly roundup of plans would be interesting.
