I love that book.  One of the best reference books out there.

The Hestia is gorgeous!  ❤

Rachael your dad’s vest is looking pretty awesome.
Regarding all the floral patterns, my favorite is the Rosie Yoke, but as I am not an experienced knitter I won’t be attempting it. I sure hope you do so I can see it in person. I’m not sure I’ll ever be ready for color work, but next time we’re together I want you to explain the difference between stranded and mosaic and whatever other methods there might be to do it.
Now I just have to say that I love that sheep sweater most of all, so I really do hope you make that one (in my size 😉).
Great podcast Rachael. I would definitely hype this episode if I could find the hype button. I keep checking back but it has not yet appeared. 🫤

You are right about the increases vs decreases. That must be a typo in Ravelry. The actual pattern says increases. Great video. I might have to knit that Divinize. It is gorgeous!

I couldn't resist the Rowan Kid Silk Haze too.  I'm a big fan of Rowan yarns.  I got a bag of 10 and we have the same color, Blue Poppy #706.  I bet we have the same dye lot, #539.  If it were to become a discontinued color, I'm all set with what I have!

I love the summary of all these patterns! I’m intrigued with the one called Jacquard knitting… wondering if this is the same as Intarsia?
Hmmmm.. now that I look more closely at the photos, it looks like it’s called Jacquard because it mimics the weaving of Jacquard - two colors, sometimes knitted individually for the motif and then the two colors are blended together for the background which causes another question: then you are holding 4 strands of yarn? Interesting
