Your sweater looks gorgeous. Keep doing what you’ve been doing. It’s gorgeous so much depth.

I woul stay with original green violet yarn without any other colour added. It is perfect colour combination, and l love it.

Lovely Norwegian sweater! Blocking will for sure solve the rolling at the rib edge issue.

The buttons on your cardigan are perfect because they look like additional bobbles! Perfection :)

Thanks, I really enjoyed watching this. Your Jamiesons colorwork cardi already looks magnificent!

What a treat to wind down late on Christmas with your podcast! With the purple sweater with the dragon scale yarn, it sounds like you really want the yarn to stand alone (not with cumulus) to get the full effect of the color spectrum… Could you maybe knit a scarf or shawl with it instead? I think it’s lovely, but I’m not sure the sweater is actually what you’re hoping for!

Those half and half wraps do take time to knit but you have a lot done already! I use mine all the time. Maybe you could use the knitting for oliver yarn for the sorrell instead of the dragon scale 🤔 the color work cardi is looking good 😊

I had the same problem as you with your Cumulus, and I just used another fingering weight in a dark grey. I couldn't hid those colors!

I love your Betty and Judy ❤...I've had yarn for one for two years now... I think I've been intimidated by the intarsia. I really like Ailbiona's patterns, both patterns I've done by her have such unique construction. I've literally just finished her Turntable pullover and will wear it for the first time today. I plan on casting on her Tonn sweater in the near future 😊

Hi just a suggestion for that little bit of gaping, you can get transparent press studs which might solve it, I have used this very sucessfully, as little things like that drive me crazy, must be my OCD.
