🧶 Welcome back to Knitting Matters!
It has been far too long since my last knitting podcast, so this is a BIG catch-up! I have finished knits, rescued WIPs, stash-busting projects, crochet inspiration and lots of autumn and Christmas knitting plans.
FINISHED KNITS & PROJECTS
Nordic Blooms Cardigan – Caitlin Hunter
Yarn: Rauma Garn Vams – Lilac Melange & Light Grey Melange
Nordic Blooms is finally finished! I chat about the colourwork, modifications, steeking and my steek-sandwich button band. I absolutely loved this project and have also filmed a separate tutorial showing how I finished the steek.
Sabai Top – Susanne Müller
Yarn: Sandnes Garn Line – Dusty Green
A beautiful summer knit with gorgeous drape. I loved the construction and integrated armhole finishing, although I may go back and add a little extra length.
Custom Toe-Up Socks
Using Kate Atherley's Custom Socks method and Blue Fern Yarns Classic Sock. I'm completely converted to knitting socks to my own measurements!
Moby Sweater Junior – PetiteKnit
Yarn: Bergère de France Idéal
An abandoned WIP finally finished! Originally intended for my son, it now fits my daughter beautifully and means we have matching Moby sweaters.
Evina Cardigan Adult
Yarn: Paintbox Cotton DK – Vanilla Cream
After making the junior version, I couldn't resist an Evina for myself.
Moby Neck – PetiteKnit
Yarn: Great British Yarns Yomper 4ply + Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair – Rainy Day
Yet another Moby project I've loved — and it's making me want an entire grey Moby Sweater!
🧶 WIPS & STASH BUSTING
Terracotta Sweater – Le Knit / Lene Holme Samsøe
John Arbon Textiles Knit by Numbers DK – Natural White & Brown, held with Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in Cream & Dark Moose.
This was my birthday cast-on from last year and it's finally back on my needles. I also share my collar modifications and my plan to knit the sleeves before the body so I can manage my remaining stash yarn.
Storm Sweater Baby – PetiteKnit
Yarn: Rowan Baby Cashsoft DK
This yarn came from my abandoned Friedrich Cardigan, which I finally made a decision about after years in the WIP basket.
Aldara Shawl – Fyberspates
My OLDEST WIP, originally cast on around 2012! I've ripped back some incorrect lace, changed my precarious old needle and finally started working on it again.
🧶 CROCHET INSPIRATION
I've also been bitten by the crochet bug! After seeing a gorgeous handmade bag, I'm dreaming about making a crochet cardigan.
I have four shades of blue but can't decide between a coordinated cardigan using matching squares or a completely mixed granny-square design. I show both ideas in the video - please help me choose!
🎂 BIRTHDAY CAST-ON
Bessie Sweater – Lisa Richardson for Rowan
Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed – Bottle Green, Aluminium, Tawny, Zinnia & Avocado
My birthday tradition continues! I discuss my plans to modify Bessie by knitting it in the round and using steeked armholes. Swatches are done — all that's left is the cast-on!
🎄 CHRISTMAS KNITTING PLANS
Islender Sweater – Sandnes Garn
Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt – Poseidon Blue & Limestone
I'm planning the men's Islender for my husband, hopefully in time for Christmas. I've swatched and I'm ready to cast on!

As to the granny square cardigan, I really like each granny square to have the same color pattern.
I love the Cardi with stranded work that you finished, as it is STUNNING! All of your projects with stranded color work is glorious!
My goodness, you are a true artist and maybe I'll rise to your skill level, if I'm lucky. Thank you for sharing your journey, you make me smile 🎉
