Just discovered your podcast a couple days ago. Since then I've watched several episodes. Wonderful...great content, beautifully articulated, visually well done. I'm hooked! You have enlightened me and inspired me to give plant fibers a serious try and I'll definitely feel more confident about improvising modifications to knitting patterns. The logical progression of your projects is fascinating.

I'm a beginning knitter teaching myself and even though what you are making is waaaaay more advanced than what I'm working on (sampling my very first 1/1 cable while watching this!) I just LOVE your channel.  I learn heaps but you are also a real tonic - it's so comforting to hear someone super experienced is having to rip back, think about her body shape, change underarms etc.  It's the direct opposite of perfect jumpers on Instagram and I love it.  It calms me down.  If I keep at this I will eventually be an experienced knitter too!  Thank you.

I love your knitting. I live in Massachusetts and I knit  everyday, and never have enough hours in the day,

Listening in late 2025 and really enjoying your content.  So different than most people out there.  Thanks so much.

Learning so much from the way you present your thought process! And wow, the wool school sounds fascinating and fabulously full of opportunity to learn alongside others.

Cheers! 🧶

Your two finished cardigans look amazing Melissa! Once again I have to say how great your videos are because you share so much about your process and your decision making, it really teaches me a lot! Thank you and Happy New Year!

I was glad to see your video up this morning.  I always enjoy hearing about your thought processes for your projects.  Now I want to knit the same Marie Wallin pattern with steeks and sleeves together.  How clever!

Thank you for your great content always. So we’ll thought out. I especially appreciate you trying new things and sharing your experiences with us. I learn so much from your content. Happy New Years to you too, let’s do it!

Thanks for another very interesting episode. I’m on the edge of my seat to see your steeking process! Happy new year!

Looking forward to seeing all that steeking! And I loved hearing about the wool classing. I might be interested in doing something like that... I will have to look into it. Never would have thought of that if I hadn't heard you talking about it. Thanks for a great podcast : )

Thank you that  must have been  an incredible  class /seminar to take.  It was so interesting to listen to you talk about it and I hope you will again.  I love so many of Marie Wallin designs but knitting them flat  doesn't  really interest me.  Thank you for explaining your process on how to change a pattern from flat to in the round.  Knitting the sleeves like that is life changing!  so interesting.  I need to go read her blog.  Thank you again for sharing all this information with us.  Happy New Year.

I just discovered your channel last week and may have gone back to watch all your videos. Your Marie Wallin projects have inspired me to convert the Chestnut Cardigan to a steeked project (just ordered the yarn for it). Thanks for the inspiration!

If it's any consolation, Purl Soho in New York is still closed for retail.  I think you made a lovely choice with the Shibui.  Love your fleece "classing" adventure.  What an interesting thing to have been able to do.  The journey sounds unduly long, but you're a trooper.

Two at a time steeked sleeves - brilliant !! I am also planning on making Oak, however I am choosing different colours - so still swatching. I am going to follow your instructions and knit in the round. Looking forward to seeing your completed Oak. Love your podcasts. So informative.

Happy New Year and it's great to see your finished cardigans. They look really classy and the blues really suit you. I love that metal pin you gave too. I also have to agree with fellow commentors when they said knitting the 2 steeked sleeves in the round is genius too. That way you decrease/ increase at the same time so they match perfectly. I will definitely be using that method for the fair isle cardigan I have in mind for 2022. I really appreciate all the tips and tricks and pattern recommendations.

Lovely to spend time with you today Mel!! The Koyamae is what I plan to make with some of my nutiden as well! All the best to you in 2022!

That color is absolutely stunning on you!! Just beautiful.

Thank you for making your videos - I learn so much in each one! And I loved hearing about your wool classing experience.

I've tried Purl Soho's Tussock and love it. I think it has as shiny of a core as Shibui's Silk Cloud. Catherine Lowe's silk mohair also has a really lovely, shiny silk core as well. I have the Byzantium colorway, which is a lot darker than the pictures on her website but is still shiny and gorgeous.

Love the colour and fiber choice, I to prefer a close collar too.

Great explanations on steeking
