i love the cat alerts, its so cute and i just sit looking out for them while listening

[jacquiejy]

interesting... The last purple pullover is actually the one I like the best on you! I love that loose body style, deep yoke and narrow arms and it suits you! It's how you feel in it that counts, though 😊. All your projects are fun to see so thanks for sharing 🥰

[camderden]

I enjoyed your podcast. I am happy to see one that didn’t include a Ranunculus!! 😂

[fionasteinbrecht]

Your magnolia bloom looks really good, I'm still undecided, lioed watching your knit roundup, well done, thanks 😊

[Annthrium]

I think you can definitely pull off your white prismatic sweater. 😊 At least on camera I think it looks good on you! Not sure if the colors differ from real life. Maybe a conditioner soak could help soften up your Felix pullover and make it more wearable?

I opened Youtube at just the right time!

[MarineW_coud]

Just discovered your channel with this video and really loved it !
Your Robinia is insanely beautiful 😍

[mostlyknitting]

Your Robinia is just gorgeous on you - i am so tempted to make one with the same yarn and colors. And the colors on your Sorrel are stunning! It is a shame you dont feel comfortable in it enough to wear it more often. I have made 3 Sorrels now and I think they must have made mods based on people’s fit. They have added short rows after the dipped stitches but they dont make sense as they dont go around the sleeves sts which they need to if they are added that far down the yoke. I think if you have it in u to rip back to the yoke (post the dipped sys) and steal some of the body sts and give them to the sleeves, and add some short rows here, you might end up wearing it more. I know that is hard to do, especially with a mohair as well. But the color combo is amazing and really suits you. The purple on your Felix really suits your coloring as well. Lovely podcast. Thanks for sharing. :)

I love my Felix. It’s fairly new so I have time to wear it more! Looking forward to getting yarn to make your prismatic reflection sweater!

[stephanienorwicz]

I loved this podcast - great info on these patterns. I agree with you on the Sorrel - that would drive me nuts too. I am very hesitant to knit a round yolk sweater until I'm able to confidently modify the sweater to fit me the way I want. All of them look good on you but that deep purple is your color!

[EileenK]

Very pretty, all of them! Love the newest green one, the last one, and the white one we th the three colors in the middle that you often have hanging on your dress form. Sorry I forgot all the names! 😊

[onemissingpiece]

I love your Prismatic sweater - definitely going to check it out!

[saraw]

Good info. Several of these sweaters are on my to do list.

[linlippy]

Totally agree about the last sweater's arms - I would hate that even though the pattern is pretty.

[MissSholia]

Hello! I'm new to this channel and I really liked this episode so I subscribed!
I did knit the Sorrel sweater and also the Summer Sorrel. The latter has added short rows so maybe the designers decided to do that based on the comments they received on the original Sorrel. Also, I do like the fit of the original Sorrel on me but I belive it only has about 1 inch of positive ease and my arms are really thin so it fits great. Maybe you'd like the Summer Sorrel better!

[alltheyarn]

I just finished my Sorrel and I’m wondering if the pattern has been updated since you knit it because there’s notes within the pattern on how to stop the yoke early so that it isn’t as deep. That doesn’t help with your finished sweater though 😕 I enjoyed seeing your different sweaters, thanks for sharing!

[KnitsInColor]

I have the spring version of the Sorrel (fingering weight and short sleeves), and it’s also one of my least worn even though I think the yoke is absolutely beautiful. Mine doesn’t have long sleeves, so that’s not my gripe, but it has this weird pooch of fabric in the back. Now I often get bunching in the back because my back is much smaller than my front, so if there’s lots of ease, that happens, but it looks particularly weird on that sweater. I’m pretty sure there were short rows on my version….the poster above who mentioned weird short row placement makes me wonder if that’s contributing to my issue. Hmm….

My Sorrel is actually on my list to frog and reclaim the yarn (and maybe redo if I can figure out what’s causing my issue). I’m sorry you feel similarly! Yours does look beautiful, but if it makes you uncomfortable, life is too short to force yourself to wear it!

[alexan]

Gorgeous sweaters! Have you thought about steeking your Felix pullover? It might get more use as a cardigan over a long sleeve shirt?

[barefrike]

I was trying on my sorrel yesterday and took it off because i have just the exact same issues with it you have. Such a shame since it is so pretty

[colleenpayne]

Did you consider helical knitting with your suri on the Monday sweater?
