Holy moly, girl! I am exhausted just hearing about all your WIPS and ideas. You amaze me with how fast you have become a prolific designer of terrific wearable patterns. I seem to remember when you were putting together your first design that you said you weren’t going to become a designer…. mahahahaha! Well, that statement has gone out the window. Enjoy your much deserved vacation. (PS - you have the luckiest mum to have you to design AND make her so many lovely sweaters). 💕💜

I am dying for a navy Staffin! I so appreciate all the thought that goes into your designs, and how versatile they are.

[woolcraftcore]

Let me express my deepest appreciation and absolute admiration how thoughtful you are when it comes to making multiple designs ❤It’s so much work! You are absolutely phenomenal ❤❤❤

[jessmakingit]

I can't wait until the Staffin is available. It's beautiful!

[melpratt]

Thanks for your podcasting and designing Becs..love to knit a couple of your designs..be great to see you go to your puppy when he is around as be great to see him when you talk about him..thanks again! 🎉😊❤

Your designs just keep getting better and better! I have so many of your patterns but haven’t knit anything! 🙄 So I’ve done a first! I applied to test your new shawl!! I’ve never tested before but your shawl is cute! I just applied for the small size so I can do your beautiful pattern justice! I plan on applying to test the Staffin vest too!! I haven’t been this excited about knitting in a long time! ❤❤

I love hearing about how you name your patterns especially from places in Scotland. I got to visit there in 2023. I absolutely loved it. It so awesome to hear about the places I wasn't able to visit and learn more about your country. Also I just have to comment again on the generosity of your patterns ~ wow!

[moiragarner]

I really like the Stick season jacket with the pattern all over 😊

[Cozyknitsandreads]

Loving all of your WIPs! I remember the days of the Cathy Cardigan and I'm so excited it will be released. While it was in hibernation my knitting skills have developed, so now I feel equipped to actually knit and not just admire it from afar when it comes out.😄 I've decided to dip my toe into testknitting and have applied for the Staffin sweater. It looks like such an enjoyable knit.

[gemmathornhill]

Love your videos, always so inspiring.
My first thought for minis is Lay Family Yarns, with Nicks pick and mix minis there are over 150 colours to choose from 😍

[earlgreyknits]

I’m excited for your up coming patterns. They look so fun to work!
As for my preferred number of WIPs, Ideally, I like to have about 3 knits on my needles.
1 stockinet or simple Ks and Ps knit for TV watching that I don’t need to look down for.
1 interesting / need to concentrate knit typically something with cables or lace for my “me time”.
And 1 small and portable knit that’s a simple enough repeat that I don’t need to refer to a pattern to do. Typically a fun sock or baby / toddler knit.

[maggieanderson]

I certainly do remember that first cardigan! You’ll not be surprised that I was initially captivated by the colour, but I kept waiting in the hope it would become a published pattern, so I’m looking forward to watching it evolve.

[corteofs]

You sure are living life at high speed :-). I am AMAZED at how much knitting you get done, I do knit a few hours a day but I cannot get sweaters off the needles at the rate you do

[bgbaltuth]

I want the Staffin to knit !! That is for sure something I will knit . Your excitement and enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you. Smilled through the whole podcast! I like Rauma yarns, great woolly wool. Woolly Manouth has an advent. Not sure that would work. But ... ttfn

[atorres]

I can’t believe I have to wait until January 😂 I love the Staffin pattern and I think I need to make one for my sister because Skye is one of her favorite places. So glad you popped up on my feed.

[susanbossung]

I want the vest! I love it. I want it in macha and navy and possibly grey. I love this. I made the Petite Knit Storm for my grandson and I loved knitting it. It flew off the needles. This pattern looks much like that knits and purls motif. I can’t wait. I would apply to do the test knit, but I’m not an influencer, so not that many people would see it. Love your designs.

[nicolelafontaine]

I really love your textured sweater, I think i'd love to knit it in the Rauma yarn you chose. I am looking forward to knit your honeycomb sweater.

[garyweybright]

Helloooo Rebecca! I enjoyed this video and was knitting with Woolly Knit wool whilst watching you! I do love their yarn very very much and do find it a good value! Again you mentioned showing a pattern with the all over colorwork but it never was shown on the screen, dang I miss when this happens!😢😢😢. Would love to see a review of all your knits someday…….. as well as the finished “yarn” workroom! Enjoy your little holiday! ClaudiaSJI

[kyraboisseree]

I remember the Cathy Cardi!! So excited to see it again! I really love the Staffin too, and I’m excited to see the vest & cardigan versions!

[debbierussell]

I am so excited about your Staffin pullover design!!!
