Welcome to I’ll Knit (& Spin!) If I want To! I asked y’all to send in some of your questions (from everything from fiber arts, to designing and on!) so I could put together a little video for y’all every Friday doing my best to answer your questions!

In this week’s episode we cover:
1. I finally snagged some BT loft and am so excited to start the Wool and Honey Sweater. I have read that a way to keep your sweaters from stretching is to start at the actual yoke and pick up and knit the collar afterwards. Is there a specific cast on you would do for the yoke and are there any tips for keeping this looking seamless/not clunky? Thank you!

2. What app do you use for audiobooks?
3. This might be a stupid question but can I wear my knits in the rain and snow? Will they smell? Do they take forever to dry? This will be my first fall and winter with sweaters to wear and never hear anyone talk about this
4. Hi Andrea! I'm so excited to be participating in the Ooey Gooey knit along and heading to Rhinebeck for my first time! In addition to cider donuts and photos on the hill, I'm really looking forward to bringing home a skein or two of something special. My question: is there a specific pattern of yours that you'd recommend knitting with one or two special skeins? I'd love to go to the event with a pattern in mind, so that I know that what I bring home will be used (and can serve as a special reminder of the trip). Thanks!

5. Moebius cowl help!!! Hi Andrea I love your cowls and have knit the rad cowl which was delightful until the making up. For the life of me I cannot figure out the half twist and moving stitches 🤦♀️ once I’ve got that I can Kitchener or mattress. Can you help or recommend a tutorial?
