I find that I really enjoy your videos. Your presentation is interesting and confident. Congratulations on deciding to do a podcast. As for knitting patterns, I’ve been interested in the Wildflower Tee by Elenor Mortensen. And if I need to, I’m not afraid to frog it!

Congratulations on your subscriber milestone🎉 I was excited to find this new episode in my feed this morning. Your Riplet test knit is going to be beautiful it looks like it will be a comfortable piece that would have a lot of versatility and lots of wear!I’ve had the coco knits book in my cart for weeks and after hearing your review I am going to make sure to finally order it. Your frogs 🐸 are adorable, I’m curious to hear which name wins the great frog naming saga. I’m partial to Jeremiah because he’s a happy “joy to the world” kinda bullfrog, lol. The Shona Top by Irene Lin is top of my list (or cart) at the moment, lol.

Congrats on your lovely podcast. I have knit a few JST patterns and I am wanting the new pattern you have knit. What a cute FROG and he needs a cute name.

I have no froggy idea what pattern I’d choose as I haven’t knitted in years! Congrats on making a first channel milestone!!

Congratulations Rachael on 100+ subscribers. You are a natural. I like Jennifer Shiels Toland's designs and your Seashore Breeze is gorgeous. I'll leap, like a FROG, over to Ravelry to see which pattern I would like if I were to be chosen: narrowed down to 3, all of Rebecca Clow's patterns but the one I've had in my favorites for a while is the Ariundle.

Congrats on your milestone and thanks for the Ravelry tour. I’m always excited to learn new tools. Can’t wait to learn the new name for the frog. My ravelry pattern that I would like to knit is the Lakes V-Neck Pullover.

I too attended UofO, though for just two of my undergrad years. Ducks colorway was great. Love all the froggy...s

Congratulations on 100 subs! I would love to make that seashore breeze tee, yours turned out so pretty. Frog theme is adorable!

Rachael thank you for your podcast. I am also in Oregon and really happy I can support your content. I’m not sure what pattern I would want, maybe something from Andrea Maury. As a newer knitter I will likely need to FROG it at some point. I too listen to the first three podcasters on your list and love The Roaming Knitter the most.

Thanks Rachael for the book recommendation. It sounds like something I should read soon before I get any further along in my knitting journey. I’m not going to mention the you know what word, since I am a personal friend and have the benefit of one on one time with you. I’m excited to see who will win your first (maybe I shouldn’t say that word either because it might be a flag to the bots)…….😊👏👏👏

Congratulations on reaching 100 subscribers! I am enjoying your podcast and look forward to each new episode. The frog theme makes me smile, as I am also no stranger to frogging my knits! If I am lucky enough to win a Ravelry pattern, I would love the Alpine Bloom Tee. Who knows: perhaps we could have a buddy knit! 😊

Hi Rachel, I am enjoying your videos very much. Thank you for your book review and podcast recommendations. I love Heather on the Roaming Knitter. I would like to knit the Mariechen cardigan by Isabell Kraemer. I have been taking knitting lessons since I retired 2 years ago and my teacher said she would help me with the project. Also I love your frog and I can't wait to hear the name!

@LindaNixon-ws4ge 1 month ago

Enjoying your podcasts. Love frogs 🐸 and I would be interested in a Twinset & Purl pattern. Thanks.

I think the frog goes with the Tank Rain Tee don’t you. Love your podcast.

Great episode! I also usually buy yarn for a pattern but I have recently reversed engineered this on ravelry too and oh it’s sooo fun! Also helpful when I have yarn in stash that I bought for a certain pattern but then my taste changes and I want to use the yarn in stash for something else. Thank you for sharing podcast recommendations… I always love learning about new to me podcasts. ❤
