Well I had to wait until the very very end to see Nuggles? Nuggle? But oh boy it was worth it! He does look like he might enjoy a bit of yarn tangling! So be very careful, I tell you this from personal experience! Have I told you before how grateful I am that you’re such a “ considered “ knitwear designer? Boy I do love them all! Best to you and Nuggle and happy knitting! ClaudiaSJI

I haven't test knitted for you yet, hopefully one day, but I have done many of them and I would just like to say that I believe most of us test so that we can contribute to this incredible community and support it in this way. All that to be said please don't feel bad about any errors, that is what we are for. What matters is that you heard and respected the feedback that you received, looked at whether that feedback would benefit your pattern and followed through. You are so generous with those of us who knit your patterns, you take so much into consideration, thank you for that. Sorry this sounds rather kiss ass, it is sincere.. Have a great week.

I love the bright blue long sleeve tolsta! Your wrap should have a Scottish flower name since it is a more dainty, soft design. 🌿

Wow, you guys love to keep busy hey. I love your new colourwork design, totally beautiful. I love your little nuggles, he's adorable. I was really happy to hear that you extended your testing times to allow more people to do it. I love watching your videos as you are so honest and matter of fact about when things go to plan or don't, it's so refreshing.

Oh my! Nuggle is adorable 🥰 🐾 Thank you so much for sharing him. You must “shame” him when he rips into your yarn. I got a puppy 18 months ago, and I had to untangle and rewind yet another ball of wool just this week. Still, it is well worth the occasional frustration to have so much love and affection. I’m also very excited about your colour work sweater. It is gorgeous 😊

Your colorwork sweater is incredible. The colors are perfect. Love it. Don’t beat yourself up about a hiccup in one of your test knit designs. You go far and above any designer I have ever used or followed. It is rare and I understand embarassing but it’s not the norm so don’t dwell on it. There is so much worse out there. All your designs are incredible. I need back in to sweaters so I can jump on board too. I’m sure most want to hear and see Nuggle. Puppies are a lot of time and work. It will get better as he gets a little older. He is precious.

I've knit a ton of circular yoke, colourwork sweaters and my favourite (unsolicited!) fit tip is to add around an inch in length of raglan increase rows to the armscye. This is something Orlane Sucche does in her designs, and I think the Ranunculus maybe does it to? It results in a really, really lovely sleeve that allows for much more movement, especially when raising your arms above your head or just moving around. I now add it to all of my circular yoke sweaters. :)

I couldn't wait to see Nuggle so while you were talking, I opened instagram on my laptop and scrolled til I found him hahhahaha he's adorable and will grow very fast. I took my Labrador Retriever to the vet. She said “He’s a little over weight” I said I wanted a second opinion. She replied “He’s got a lovely coat” :-) Q: Whats a Labrador Retriever favorite musical instrument? A: The dinner bell! hahahahahah!

The colorwork sweater is beautiful. I love the neutral colors you are using, though I will be interested to see the other one that you teased. Your puppy is adorable but they do require lots of attention to have a well socialized, well behaved dog but so worth it. I hope your knits stay safe.

Just ordered the yarn for the Kerr, I've been waiting for this since you did the swatch. Thank you for all the work you put in on these designs Rebecca. I've knit almost all of them and my skills have grown as yours have- what a journey. Ordered some of the Ulysse from Great British Yarns, who also sell Kinross 4ply, lace and mini skeins (eek). It came today with a lovely handwritten post card, some free stitch markers, and a sachet of Euclan wool wash. Tina also does a rewards programme. Super quick service and really personal service. Would recommend.

I have a puppy that came to us about a year ago and three times I had forgotten to lift my knitting high or put it in a closed door room while I went to the shops…my gosh she enjoyed every one of those times, naughty dog. And last Monday I came home from work to find she had chewed my PlayStation 5 controller to bits 😮😢 and had managed to turn on the console, find her way to the PlayStation Store and begin downloading a game that requires a VR Headset which I don’t have…the joy of the puppy 🐶 she is lucky I love her very much.

Rebecca, if you see this comment, it feels so ungrateful to ask, because you've done so many wonderful things with the tolsta, but if you're ever in the mood a v neck vest would be awesome as well! I just love this easy breezy cheerful tolsta collection!

Hi Rebecca and everyone here ! Always so interesting and cosy to watch your podcast, I like you talking about process in the design of patterns and also fibers. I'm planning to knit the Sanna cardigan, short sleeves because I won't have enough yarn for the long ones 😂 I'm also planning to spend a few days in Dublin in August and ting! I heard you mention some yarn shopping there : any recommendations about yarn shops in Dublin ? I'm also a bit concerned about having my needles on the plane🤔 I'm flying from France (La Rochelle) to Dublin. I read that Dublin airport is knitting needles friendly😊, not sure about France. Will ask in advance but still... I really wouldn't not knit for 5 days ! 😅 any ideas, or tips about needles on the plane ? Thank you Have a great week !

Great podcast as usual, so much coming …I need to get my Stickless & Tolstas (plural lol ) done… So when I see the Kip I see a vest with plain bands and chunky front buttons and maybe pockets…. What do you think??? That texture in a vest sounds awesome to me…not a designer lol See you on the next one!

That Studio Donegal yarn is PERFECT for the stick season jacket. I just did the ultimate boyfriend sweater in it and it is perfect for a warm, oversized knit. I'd recommend Einband if you need a lace weight yarn to hold with the other yarn for the second sample. Also, fun Dutch naming connection again, NYX is the largest gay club in Amsterdam 🌈🐔

We should all be commenting on the knitting, but you brought a furry baby into the mix😝. Hehe. Puppy is soo adorable and i am soo broody for a fur baby. I never thought to give mine celery. They have carrots apples etc. I’ll have to try them with celery and see if they like it. All the knitting is fab. And i really like how the colour work jumper is coming on. I can see that being another design on my very very long list of future knits 🙈. Xx
