You get compliments on that Rosary Sweater because the blue matches your eyes so perfectly! Such beautiful yarn. And who cares if you have a closet full of Felix cardies?? If you love them knit them. 🥰

Hi Heather. Thanks for the lovely compliment. I do tend to make things I like over and over in different colours, including dresses. I agree if you like a pattern make more 😊

Lovely video Sarah. I do hope you don’t frog the beautiful sweater you’re wearing because it looks lovely on you. I’d rather have a jumper a little bit on the big side than feel I’m in a straight jacket. The colour and stitch pattern are so nice. Love your stripey Felix. I have the pattern but have not yet made one. You’re making me want to cast on. What a kind and thoughtful gift the tote bag is.Just perfect for you. Margaret

Hi Sarah, thank you for sharing all your projects. You've been very productive! Your mittens are beautiful and I love your finished Felix. It will be perfect over a white t-shirt and jeans for the spring. I really must start mine. I've never read or watched David Copperfield either, the gloominess puts me off a bit but maybe I should try listening to it instead? I've just finished the Little Wartime Library which is fiction but based on the true story of an underground library at Bethnal Green during WW2. Highly recommend 😊 What a lovely thoughtful gift, I bet you felt quite teary. Have a lovely week. Xx

Hi Caroline. I can highly recommend David Copperfield. There are some gloomy bits but also some beautiful and funny moments. The characters are amazing. I will be listening to more. Love the sound of your book recommendation. 😊

It is always so nice to catch up with you and your projects. I love your Felix cardigan. The colors are so pretty together, and the fact that you had matching yarn in your stash is a plus. The sweater you were wearing is beautiful and looks so nice on you. The color is so pretty and brings out the color of your eyes. (p.s. your hair looks very nice down). I do understand that you may want to frog it if the fit isn't right but I don't envy you with that decision.😊 I can understand your apprehension.

Hi Sarah, always love your videos! I also love the jumper that you are wearing. Unlike you, I always feel much better in items of clothing that are much bigger as they make me feel warm & snug ☺️. I certainly wouldn’t unpick it as it looks just great. Your items that you showed are just lovely! I love the mittens, your baby blanket & your cardigan. I wouldn’t mind how many cardigans you made with the same pattern as they will look different as you have used different yarn. Also it just goes to show how much you are appreciated with that lovely tote bag which has your name & pictures of lovely yarn on. 🥰. Keep up the beautiful work that you are creating Sarah as I love seeing all the things that you are creating. Great job, cheers 🤗👏❤️🥰💕😍

Love your new finished Felix cardigan! And the current one in progress looks so bright and fun. I am swatching for a new cardigan today; I’d like to make Ishnana by Ysolda. As far as ripping out the sweater you’re wearing, I am someone who does frog projects if I am unhappy with them. If you don’t wear it as much as you would if it fit better. I’d say frog it. The yarn is such a beautiful color and you look so lovely in it. Of course if you’re wearing the sweater anyway, then who cares if it doesn’t fit perfectly! See you next month! - Erika

Will also be looking for the pattern for the mitts….great gift knitting for my two grand daughters. Thank you Sarah

Haven’t watched more than the intro - I wouldn’t undo your sweater. We all need an oversized jumper from time to time. It’s a beautiful jumper, colour suits you and you look good in it. So embrace the boxy-ness of it - that’s my 2cents. Now I’m off to watch the rest of your podcast 😊. Pausing the video again - love the neon Felix you’re creating. It’s not childish at all - it’s just fun 🤩 Question - keeping the yarn running up the edge as you change balls x does that interfere with picking up stitches for the button bands? Could you do the rib and bands in a plain cream, make the cardigan longer if you need to, though the length of your striped Felix looked perfect. I like a bum hugger cardigan but lots like a waist skimmer 🤷‍♀️. I love the joy you show for your projects, how much you’ve enjoyed the process of creating and how pleased you are with the finished product. It’s just a pleasure to experience your knits with you 🤗

I'm enjoying David Copperfield I downloaded it on Audible at your recommendation on an earlier podcast. I'm loving it too. I remember some of it from probably a TV series or maybe an old movie as some of it is familiar. But this goes into so much detail which if I was reading would scan or skip. I agree it is hard to listen too in some parts, so hard to believe that life was like that back in the not so distant past! I've just got to where he meet Uriah Heep and i remember hating that character!! Thanks for the recommendation and the podcast!! Jane

Thanks for another lovely podcast! Such a lot of beautiful finished projects! I rather like the look of the fingerless mitts - my favourite fingerless mitts are starting to show a bit of wear now, so I may need to make a new pair. I only “discovered” Charles Dickens in very recent years, and I particularly loved Bleak House and A Tale of Two Cities (the latter has a lovely mention of ladies knitting!)
