I can vouch, I was there on the bus - she was excited to see your socks! And I love how the cardigan turned out!! Very inspiring stuff, now I'm thinking I need to pick up knitting too...

That is so dope to have your work recognized by a stranger and a pair of socks of all items.

Knitting buddy.....(Geoff) it's never too late. You too can have your work recognized by a stranger. LOL

That olive green color is fire and the cardigan itself is everything. Fits you so perfectly. COBBS! I want one for me and your sister. Primary colors for us. 1 black and 1 red ;) Name your price.

Indoor gardening looks easy to maintain. I hope thats the case. Cant' wait to hear how it all taste. Let me know if they give off any good frangrances.

It was a really cool experience! I never anticipate meeting other knitters and Iā€™ve only worn my handknits in a public a few times; so having them be recognized felt serendipitous.

Itā€™s looking good for me getting Geoff on this knitting journey with me in 2024 šŸ˜‚

As much as I love this cardigan I wont be knitting any sweaters for gifting/sale. Theyā€™re taxing on my hands and require a ton of effort.

I shall keep you all posted on the indoor gardening. Indoor gardens seem to be popular so hopefully thatā€™s a good sign.

You never cease to amaze me Tashay! Your cardigan is wonderful and the olive green looks stunning on you. I'm looking up the Ruke bind off, that's a new one to me. I agree that we are so fortunate to have access to teachers willing to share their knowledge on youtube. 2024 sounds like a very fulfilling year :)

Thank you, Jodie! The ruke bind off is quite nice, I enjoyed it. It was simpler than the Italian and more interesting than the standard bind off wouldā€™ve been with the ribbing. Iā€™m glad the pattern recommended it because I hadnā€™t been exposed to it prior. YouTube is one of the most incredible learning resources available, Iā€™m so glad I discovered the power of it. 2024 shall be very fulfilling!

Lol you just need a little counter top space in the kitchen to get going. You also have good outdoor space to start a proper garden.
