Oh my. I held my breath the entire time you cut the steak. Was nervous for you, with your having to hold it up in front of the camera and cut at the same time! I kept being afraid the sweater would slip and the scissors would nip a hole in the fabric.But you are definitely great! And your sweater is beautiful!

I saw a tip when flying be sure you put your contact info in each project bag you are traveling with, in the case heaven forbid it would get lost at any time during the trio

I get my cast off my left wrist on May 20th!! So no knitting for me at all for a while. I am very excited for your trip!! I hope you just happen past a few yarn shops as you go.

Ha! You cut the steek on live stream! That was fun. Wondering how advanced a knitter has to be to participate in the upcoming swatching itag.

Would you be able to include the ladder back jacquard in your swatching KAL? I just love following you Suzanne and really appreciate you sharing your wealth of information!

[NinaKeilin]

Hi, sorry had to miss the live today. Work commitments, ha ha.

[sheryltisdale]

Your sweater is beautiful! I am on the pockets right now, can't wait to get to the sleeves!

[NinaKeilin]

Are those Gingher tailoring scissors? Those are the best!

QUESTION:HELLO Suzanne, I never find the video of the short row neck for the back.

Hi Suzanne
Your sweater looks really beautiful. Did you use icord edge for the opening side of your pockets?
My pockets look fine but where I attatch it with the inner side, that vertical line of stitches looks wobbly. What should I do for that?
Thanks 🙏
