Paul sweater is something I want to knit for a long time. Only if I could have 10 more pair of hands! Wonderful podcast, thank you!

I see the vision with the autumnal top and it’s gonna be so good

I actually saw the paul sweater and i was considering it for my fall plans, but wasn’t really sure and now you’re making me want to knit it! It’s gonna look amazing on you and the limestone really suits you!! Also, i love the dress and your nails 💗 Tip for not getting holes in your pick up stitches - try to pick up slightly lower than you think, like a stitch below basically, if that’s any help haha. I really love that pink cashmere on you! It’s starting to convince me that maybe in some world i could suit pink. Maybe. I’m not convinced but getting there hahah

I’m knitting the cardigan version and I agree, her patterns are so professional and different. I think the back seam at the neck is just a design element, which everyone I show the pattern to, comments on. I think the pattern could be clearer but that could be English translation issues.

I like the budget yarn project review idea but I will say one of my reservations about using said yarn is longevity/wear since they can be more prone to pilling and other issues like that. So maybe a follow up series would be cool to see much later so you could evaluate how your budget yarn pieces wear up over time?

I just got some of the drops brushed alpaca silk and I'm so excited to try it! The swatch was a bit difficult to frog but my goodness it felt good held with some merino

I guess you could try the holst garn brand. They do have some cheaper yarn like the supersoft base or the coast base.
