idk if it's just me but the audio glitched at 36:35 it goes silent for a couple seconds

All of your knits look super gorgeous ☺️ Your knitting is very regular and looks genuinely like they’re machine-knit, I think it’d be nice if you made a video explaining how you hold your yarn/needles to maintain tension and tips on how to achieve this super even look! (If that is a video ideia that interests you, of course) 🤗

Thank you so much for adding the text of the name of the pattern you are talking about before transitioning to the next project. I find this to be very helpful. I find that so many times, people mention the name of a project and then move into discussing the details of it and then move on to the next project without repeating the name of the project again. Often it is the discussion of the project, rather then the name, that sparks my interest. If I have missed the name of it, I need to go back to find the name of it. I often wish people would open with mentioning the name of the project and ending that discussion with the name of the project again. Putting it in text is even better. Thank you so much!

I really appreciate that you mention pricing in your videos. I think it should become more normalized so that we as crafters can make informed decisions on yarn and projects, letting us figure out when we make personalized decisions if we should substitute or not for our own needs.

Your Paul Cardigan is fabulous. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your mentioning and using some smaller fiber dyers which helps to broaden my own selections 😊

[jasminedolby]

I have saved your video as there are so many gorgeous patterns used - I absolutely adore the Clara sweater and will be eagerly awaiting release! So much inspiration, thank you ❤

[lynncornelissen]

Loved seeing the roundup! The bright green is such a gorgeous colour on you. Hopefully we’ll see more bright spring coloured items on you in the future!

Thanks for sharing! I like watching the regular podcast, but these roundups put things a bit into perspective. The Paul cardigan is just so good! I immediately put it in my ravelry favourites 🙂. Thank you for the inspiration ☺️

Congratulations on 10K subscribers, Melissa! I view your knits as all being very classy. Solid colours and lovely classic designs with quality finishes elevate each make. You inspire me to be a more thoughtful knitter. I did copy your Glow Worm Paul Cardigan (different yarns, but same colours: I call mine my Tennis Ball Cardigan). It’s my favourite knit of 2024.

[JoyfulFreckles]

Gosh I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your Paul items are so nice, I have had Moreca Knit's designs on my queue for ages because I love the quiet detailing. Definitely something to make this year...hopefully...

[SueCoogee]

Thanks for a very thoughtful description of your knits. You have given me food for thought and I will be adding several to my Ravelry favourites.

Hi Melissa, great range of projects and the Unicorm sweater is adorable. Love how the mane goes around the back. Happy New Year.

[Dailywhatnots]

I always look forward to your year in review videos. Thank you for taking the time to tally up the costs.

Omg that dress looks so amazing! I am so tempted to knit, but the pure silk on 3mm for such a large project is so daunting ahah

[oldwitchknits-Ursula]

So nice to see another video from you! Beautiful knits as always. I really have to make a Paul cardigan. I can't pull off that stunning green colour but this pattern will look great in any colour.
I have yarn ready to go for another Claire vest in dark brown. Excited to get that started but I need to get a few more wooly knits done first...

[carmeslynn]

Hi Mel, I have enjoyed seeing all your prolific efforts for 2024 but I wanted to comment on what I thought was the standout garment for you. The Paul sweater was definitely it! Why? Well it had knitting excellence but more than that, the color! The neon bright green looks fabulous on you with your coloring! Definitely your star color. Not that many people can wear this color successfully. I'm one of those, it washes me out. But you on the other hand simply glow when its on you. My personal fav of all your efforts. Thx for sharing! Carrie from Eugene Oregon 😘❤🐕🐑☕🧵🪡🧶
