The One Where She Knits | Episode 5: a Finished Sweater, Two Lakes, and a Little Sewing Era

Welcome back to The One Where She Knits 🧶 In this knitting podcast episode, I’m sharing a finished sweater, two works in progress using the same pattern, a little sewing chat, and a cosy catch-up about my current knitting headspace. ✨ In this episode: Finished object: Monday Sweater by PetiteKnit Knitting with Knitting for Olive Merino + Soft Silk Mohair (Brown Bear) Two Lakes V-Neck Pullovers by Ozetta on the needles Knitting the same pattern twice (and why I love it) No new yarn purchases (stash appreciation era) Sewing projects + balancing multiple crafts What I’m watching, listening to & loving this week — 🧶 Finished Object — Monday Sweater (PetiteKnit) I’ve finally finished my Monday Sweater and I’m wearing it in this episode! I talk through the yarn combo (Knitting for Olive Merino held with Soft Silk Mohair), how it feels to knit and wear, the halo, fit, construction, and how I’ll be styling it. — 🧵 Works in Progress — Lakes Pullover (Ozetta) I currently have TWO versions of the Lakes Pullover on my needles: V neck in Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Morning Haze Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic Tweed 10ply in Hickory Same knitting pattern, completely different outcomes. I chat about how yarn choice changes everything — texture, feel, and overall vibe — and which one I’m reaching for most right now. — 🧺 Yarn Chat (or lack of it) No yarn haul this week — just a little reminder that it’s okay to slow down and enjoy your stash. — 🪡 Sewing & Creative Projects A little life update on my recent sewing mood and how it fits alongside knitting — are multiple crafts competing or complementing each other? — 💭 Knitting Headspace Thoughts on knitting multiples, slowing down, and what I’m feeling drawn to for the rest of the year. — ☕ Stitch & Spill What I’ve been watching, listening to, and a cosy moment from the week. — ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 07:00 Finished Object — Monday Sweater 24:30 Works in Progress — Lakes V-Neck Pullover x2 40:32 Sewing & Crafts 45:00 Outro — 🔗 Links & Patterns Mentioned: Monday Sweater by PetiteKnit: https://www.petiteknit.com/en/product...
