    You can still shorten the sleeves on the Marigold tee. Its actually quite easy to do it now after you have completed it because you know exactly how much shorter you need to make them. "Sew" in a lifeline then cut the yarn and remove the extra length (you wont be able to rip because one sleeve was knit in the opposite direction), then pick up the stitches and knit a ribbing and bind off.

    GM Amanda I’m cracking up right now with your dog That’s what I say to my dog trying to finish a row “Just a minute honey”lol That is a beautiful drape ❤ It looks gorgeous on you Congrats on your work on it I loved this video Amanda !!! Thank you 🥰😊
  • @jla110661
    New to your channel but have heard of Birch and Lily many times so I tuned in. Really nice podcast and I love the sweaters you posted about. They were all new to me patterns for the most part which I appreciated. Too many sweater patterns get all the love and I get tired of seeing the same things over and over. Anyway...I look forward to seeing upcoming podcasts.
  • I am impressed with all of the sweaters. I added several to my favorites then I decided to just friend you on Ravelry. I hope you don’t mind. I want to knit more sweaters. I am so slow at it. You have really inspired me and I am already thinking about my next sweater knit.
  • Love all the sweaters! A fisherman’s ribbed sweater is my dream sweater. After I knit through my sweater quantities, I’m going for it!
  • Do you have a video showing how to do a tubular bid off? It really looks so professional 😊
  • @tinalywood4507
    27 garments, i am so glad your proud of yourself, you should be. How did i not see your channel before now? I definitely found some new patterns im gonna knit this year. Thank you, see you Tuesday
  • @user-mu5sb5rb2b
    It was a nice trip down memory lane. Love seeing all your garments from 2023. I'm such a slow knitter, but I knit for relaxation. I could never knit test knits. Your sweaters are all so lovely!!❤❤ can't wait to see what gets completed in 2024!!
  • @maddyknits
    Don’t let Stripes put you off yoked sweaters. It’s a poorly shaped design. I would suggest Jennifer Steingas for a good circular yoke. Your knits are lovely!
  • @Mobuchholz
    Wow! All of your sweaters are beautiful. Thank you for putting in the time to do the timestamps and links that is super helpful! My absolute favorites are the Maybury Cardigan and Sibling Sweater! I love how daybreak and nutcracker look together. I agree about the EKF Rockies DK. I also find it very difficult to use in projects with it being in-between a DK and Sport, I always really struggle to get gauge.
  • @clarastone2857
    Your knitting is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your 2023 knits. Happy New Year!
  • @debbiedennie255
    GM Amanda The sweater you gave on is gorgeous and looks lovely on you I hear you about the dog sweater … I made one for my Keisha and she hates it But if cold out on our daily car ride I make her wear it She is a very hot dog as my vet called her Her hair is so thick with some curl and I got her in Edmonton when we lived in Strathmore AB All your sweaters are beautiful Happy you showed all your knits for 2023 and my thanks You are a knitting machine girl 😊 Love you pods 😊💝🥰
