    The color of the socks is beautiful! The collab color is also stunning. I think dyed-to-order shouldn't be a problem, I bet most of us have such a yarn stash that we can keep ourselves entertained until the yarn arrives.

    Always love your content, Fem! Your positive energy is so infectious 😄 I enjoyed seeing your surprise collab color way and how proud you are to show it off. You have every right to show off your creation - it looks ethereally beautiful.
    Worked on a lace wrap cardigan that I wasn't super excited to knit while watching this but at least I'm almost off sleeve island!

      Ah your kind words bring a big smile to my face 🥹🥰 thank you!!
      A wrap cardigan sounds beautiful but I can imagine it can become a bit repetitive. Which one are you making? 😄

    This purple yarn fits you very well, your face looks really fresh 🙂 and the color is BEAUTIFUL! and when it comes to the salty days sweater, it grows A LOT - I have made one (and frogged it) and it turned out way too big!

      Ah thank you! That definitely helps me in my decision 🥰 oeh that’s good to know. Normally I also definitely wouldn’t want that but I hope this will stretch a toooon too hahah

    I love all your sweater projects! I am currently knitting a Sea Glass Tee, an Old Beat sweater, and a So Basic Raglan sweater for my husband. Puppy energy is a huge thing. Our Great Pyrenees puppy finally just turned 1 and I feel like we turned a corner in terms of behavior. They are adorable but so much work. lol

      Oh I’ve neglected CZcams too much with everything going on but that’s so good to hear. It’s been a struggle right now to be honest. It’s indeed a lot of work ❤️ and your projects sound so fun! 🤩 one day I’ll make a seeglass tee. I think it’s so adorable 😍

    Kutova kika has a video in where she teaches how you should pick up stitches if it isn’t specified. It is really nice! I never struggle now anymore
    Also I hope your sleeves still fit if it is a smaller size then recommended. They are quite fitted normally already

      I completely forgot that she has quite a lot of videos about her patterns! Thanks for reminding me. I’ve heard this one can grow a toooon so I’m hoping it will work out 🤞

    Hi girl! I still can't believe that we're both making the Salty days sweater in the summer time, and at the same moment😂 it's just too good of a pattern to wait for the "right" weather to make isn't it?
    I definitely agree with you, I would have liked a lil bit more guidance for picking up stitches, since it's quite difficult to figure out, especially for the sleeves, and it takes a couple tries (or four or six in my case😅) But it's my one and only complaint about the pattern so far since it's a great design and very well explained in my opinion. I'm making mine in Drops Lima, in just the white color, but I made a rookie mistake with it😅 soooo after the midblock I left it flat to dry in the sunlight... well, the color faded (of course it did silly me!) and now the front is like a warm white, leaning almost beigey while the back is the original neutral white. Well it is what it is, and all I have to do now is finishing the sleeves and than washing and putting the sweater back under the sunlight, with the back facing up this time, hoping that the color will uniform (right now you can see the color difference quite clearly on the shoulders and it's not really nice 😅😅)

      Hahah it’s such a coincidence right 🤣 well for the sleeves I just heard that she apparently explains that in her salty days video. I completely forgot that she makes videos about most of her sweaters designs so I’ll have to look it up there. Haha oh nooo not the sun bleaching 😂 well I think indeed putting it in the sun the other way around will help. It definitely makes for a very unique sweater right 😂👍

      ​@@themindfulcreators I saw the video and it helped a bit but unfortunately I still had some problems figuring out how to pick up stitches, let's hope it'll be easier with my second sleeve! And yep, I'll have a one of a kind sweater for sure hahaha

    I agree with you about Dark Matter, the ending was a bit anticlimactic compared to the rest of the series. I so badly wanted to say that on your last podcast, but wanted to not give you my opinion before you watched it!!
    The word you were searching for is classifies.
    Douglas Adams is a bit of an acquired taste, I think. I love the Hitchhikers series, but understand it's not for everyone. Tonight I'm knitting a dishcloth because I have zero brain power, but hope to cast on for a Tolsta tank tomorrow or Monday.

      Ah right!! Thanks for not spoiling 😜 but yeah that was definitely the case especially compared to the rest of the season and to the buildup to that moment.
      That was the word indeed hahaha
      Yeah I’m still not sure if I like it but will definitely finish this book.
      Mindless makes are great too! And your tolsta will be a great summer make 🥰

    Did you ever find or get another zipper to finish the sweater for your bf? Hope so 💙 Beautiful yarn!

      Hi Kera! No not yet 😭 it just has to be somewhere but I think it’s time to just buy a new zipper by now 😂 and thank you so much 🥰
