The red hat is stunning! The baby gift is adorable! 😍

your park williams hat is amazing!! a seamless toy pattern sounds great - that is one of the hardest bits i find about knitting and crocheting toys is sewing on the limbs and head so it looks proportionate and even, so picking up the stitches sounds like it would be a lot easier to get the positioning correct.

You literally couldn't look better than in that hat and vest. Well you could cz you're a fashion queen, but this is up there!

Good to see another video from you. Loving all your projects!! (and have added a couple to the queue)

That jumper is just *chef’s kiss*. It’s gorgeous!

Lovely to see you, Elina, and to catch up with all your makes.

❤❤❤ You're awesome. Love all that speckled yarn 😍 Check out the 'over the rainbow pillow' if you get a chance..... I am obsessed! Made it three times and it always turns out super cute!

You're a fashion icon in your black rainbow tweedy bougie jumper and the headband.

I love your sweater! I like your hack. What do you mean by bone necky?

Elina, I know I have said it before but those socks! 😍😍😍

Love your projects Elina and in particular your Solidago shawl! I’ve been working on a sweater test knit while watching you and it’s probably a bit too hot today to be knitting outside, but I am enjoying the fresh air in the shade!

Enjoyed this podcast Elina - so many lovely projects! I'm looking forward to your year of rainbow tweed :)

You can do a duplicate stitch over the stain

great items!

Loved hearing about your projects. Highlight for me was knitting up a few single skeins for charity scarfs. Also Bendigo was definitely a highlight too

Thank you for sharing Elina! All the best for 2024 ❤️

Thank you Elana. I loved your podcast. Even though you are on a different continent (and your weather is different than mine in NE United States) I appreciated your comments about particular patterns & yarns and what to think about when choosing them!

Hi there Elena, so nice to see you again. Thanks for your informative podcast about your projects it was really helpful and it's so nice to hear an Aussie voice on You Tube. Have a great year!

Had to watch in two parts as we are on day nine without power and crappy internet. Love all your projects ❤️

You made so many gorgeous things this year! A great recap.

Love your podcast! I enjoy listening to others’ dream knitting, it is very inspiring. And I REALLY love the idea of having ornaments or some other to-go gift on hand for those uncomfortable times when someone unexpectedly whips out a gift! Genius!

I live and i amfrom.Bolivia . I ve been trying to buy at first this julgran pattern but it seems impossible. I also wrote to andi mail but nothing. I am trying to make this with some cables but it does not look the same. I am starting to think that i must go to sweden😢

Thank you for sharing your lovely knits ❤

I also love What we do in the Shadows! Can't wait to see your Ariel, you are so clever 🤩

Gorgeous knits Elina! What We Do In The Shadows is my absolute favourite! I love literally everything about it. Guillermo's sweaters are a highlight. I have no organisation when it comes to my yarn stash or knitting plans, unfortunately. I just go for it. Currently working on a Field Sweater in Great Ocean Road Woollen Mills yarn that is such a pleasure to work with.

I am knitting Westknits Mkal at the moment, working hard on clue 2 so there won’t be too much progress on my other wips 😂 I plan my future project by printing the pattern and putting it together with the yarn in a plastic bag, then it stares at me 😂 I am mostly a seasonal knitter/crocheter but also I love to knit or crochet gifts for others. I have been enjoying your podcast and the projects you knit on 😊

That shawl is gorgeous! Also, there is something so very satisfying about using up alll of the yarn. It feels fantastic!

Thank you for the great podcast ❤ I am a seasonal knitter. It’s fall here, so I’m looking at winter knits 🧶

That Ariel top is positively gorgeous! Sari Norlund does such amazing designs. Maybe one day I’ll be brave enough to try one. I tried being a seasonal knitter, but I’m such a slow knitter-and mistake prone- that now I knit as the spirit moves me. At the moment, I’m working on a 1/2 wrap shawl, the one by Purl Soho, as a Christmas present for my granddaughter. I’m not generally a monogamous knitter, but with this project, it takes so long to do I feel I should concentrate on it if I want to get finished in time. I’m currently watching Queen’s Gambit and Witcher on Netflix. Enjoying them both. Thanks for the podcast.

You’ve inspired me to move the Metamorphic sweater up in my queue :)

It was nice to catch up with you again, Elina.

Great to see you pop again on CZcams and it’s so nice to hear an Australian voice which are few and far between on knitting podcasts and speak about us coming into summer as the rest of the world talk about going into winter (as though there is only one hemisphere in the world)! Love your humour 😂😂

Beautiful knits ❤thanks for the lovely podcast!

Your jumper looks fantastic! I have that problem with AM’s jumpers too. I am just about to cast on another DRK Everyday sweater but I’m going to go down one or two sizes for the neck to fix that problem. Maybe there’s something weird about our antipodean necks? 😂😂

'the one with the hot farmers' 😂😂😂 amen sister!

I lovvveeee your sweater! Genius use of Prism , but then again you're a genius all around and stunning to boot so I should have expected it.

I don’t think you need to go up a needle size in your arms when you use the smaller needle. I can see where you changed the needle size on your arms and the sleeves are slightly larger in circumference. I doubt anyone would notice it unless you mentioned it.

Elina, your Riento looks amazing! Also, I strongly believe baby blankets do not get enough credit for being very very fun to knit with the added bonus that non-knitters are always so impressed that someone made a blanket. The bang for buck ratio of baby blankets is very good.

Great to see you back! You had me sold on a Magnolia Chunky until the bit about magic looping the bobbles which made gag and immediately dismiss the whole thing. I looked at the yarn babies at the North East stall too, and came so close to buying one but chickened out because I wasn't sure there would be enough for a jumper in my size.

Very fun podcast! Your Ariel top is gorgeous. I think you can safely wind your yarn baby until your arms get tired :) Probably two balls is reasonable.

Welcome back! Thank you for the great podcast ❤. Lovely knits!

Yay for the EKKA Show Holiday! I spent the day knitting on my Summer Sorrel. Your Riento Top is absolutely gorgeous! I will have to make a trip to the Yarn Bowl soon to check out Sandnes Garn Double Sunday.

When i grown up I want to be you. 🎉

It’s funny, Australia not only produces almost all of the world’s Marino, but the best.😂. Funny what we tell ourselves about imported stuff.

I’m about to start a Delicioso of my own and really appreciated you showing yours a d talking about it. Love the final product - well done! For your Beach Tank: Have you ever considered short rows for “the girls”? 😂 I’m in the same boat as you with sweaters riding up in the front and have found that to help hugely! Happy knitting!

How many skeins of wonderfluff did you use for the magnolia sweater?

All of your FOs were gorgeous but that Cloudbow Dress 😍😍😍

Happy to see your face :) loving that dress and I can’t wait to see different pics on insta of you styling it ❤

So many beautiful projects! And I love the sounds in the background! I missed the books. I am working on my second mitts, I finished the stranded part and just have the easy part to go.

Thanks for your detailed descriptions of your knits. And wow that cloudbow- immediately bought the magazine and some yarn !! Appreciate all the tips
