First off, I love the color choices for all your projects. They are all so pretty. Now, that top you have on is gorgeous 😍

[bulkarn]

You are a lovely knitter. I really enjoyed your podcast.

[highfiberknits]

Love the knits, especially the cloud sweater! Also the top you are wearing is SO COOL!!!

[momogumi]

It’s so nice to see your new video! And you really look cute in both the sweater and the slipover😊 Ahh, I can see you in the camisole no.9! As for Maude tee, I’m not sure if you’ll wear more by just fixing the ribbing since you seem not happy about the button band, either. The color looks good on you, though. Hope you’ll find the best (to you) solution!

I like the Maude Tee. I think the knitting looks just fine. Did you block it? If nothing else, wear it to lounge around the house. Love the color. Don’t be too hard on yourself.

I agree with @Esmeraldasanz about a solution to your blue polo top. It is very lovely by the way! I must also add, that I have had really good luck posting such questions on the ravelry forum or maybe even seeing other tips from other knitters who have knit it. I think the puckers come from the different gauges between the body and the ribbing and that like you said you maybe knit the ribbing too tight. But Ravelry has a lot of experienced knitters willing to give advice. Good luck! It will be nice to use that lovely sweater.

thanks for your video ! i love the color of your cloud sweater, i wanna cast on the twist loop top !!

[PaulaSimoes]

Nice, nice...you inspired me. Love from Lisbon ❤

[elizstitches]

Hi KImberley, I think twisted rib would look nice for your Maude top. Love all your other knits too, you are brave knitting the Stockholm sweater in that black lol, it will be worth it!

[Maria.H]

The elisabeth blouse from petiteknit has the look of a long sleeved maude tee, but uses ribbed edges. I’ve made a maude tee with long sleeves and chose to do the edges in rib ❤️ loved the episode

[kyleparra]

I always love your podcasts, thanks for posting. Your projects are inspiring and love the color choices! I need to cast on a cloud sweater soon! Looking forward to your next podcast, what's your favorite so far of all your projects? Favorite designer? Yarn?

[StickToYourKnitting]

I always love to see the projects you choose to knit. I think we have very similar taste. I understand your frustration with your V-neck top, but it looks great on you and the sleeves don’t seem too tight (but I HATE the feelings of tight sleeves on my arms, so I get it), and the slight puckering at the hem actually looks intentional.
I’m currently working on my first sweater that will have a fold over neck line and I’m a little worried about it getting too tight. If you have any tips to share, I’d sure appreciate it! 😀

[esmeraldasanz]

I think the body looks good on you, and the collar is lovely. I'd do some surgery, cut above the elastic band both in the body and the arms and then pick the stitches and knit a rib edge, probably twisted 1/1rib and then do a tubular cast off. I've once done that cutting, YouTube tutorials, and it's magic. Esmeralda

I think the column + twists instead of visible V knit stitches is something unique to superwash yarn. I could be wrong, but I believe it has something to do with how the fibre is "smoothed" by the chemical process used in making yarn machine washable. It's something I notice when looking at the knitted fabric on my socks (superwash) but not the sweater I'm currently wearing (non-superwash).

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I think that might be at the root of what you're observing in the fabric of your Maude tee rather than there being anything wrong with your knitting.

[maryannpenner]

I have a cloud sweater as my next cast on. As far as the green sweater I suggest you take out the cuff and hem and just do ribbing. You have a lovely podcast!

[doaaabdelazeem]

Your knitting is so beautiful especially moby slipover.. can you tell me the length of your slipover ❤️

[miakollen]

Hi Kimberley, why not give it a change and sew the hem and cuffs again but now loosely. I like the Maud tee. Frogging is always possible. I love your podcast. Groet uit Naarden, Mia

[oldwitchknits-Ursula]

The look of the V in the knit stitches has to do with how the yarn is spun and plied. Nothing to do with your knitting and also not much you can do about it. The different ways to knit (continental, english etc) can make it slightly less or more pronounced I think but generally the stitches will look like this for everyone.

[jesswulfsohn]

Where are your pants from!!?? They are such a nice fit on you!!

[opencirclestitches]

If you're that dissatisfied with the Maude top, do you consider frogging it? Or you like it enough to save it?
