You mention the changing style and needs of your handknit wardrobe. Would you consider a newsletter about how to rehome, repurpose, part with knitted items? I feel like this is really challenging and don't know how to begin with some things I don't wear very often but can't seem to move along either. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts on this topic.

Wow! So much great information about wool length and twist. I now understand a little more about why my cashmere sweater I made has so many pills under the arms. Thank you for all that. I can’t wait to see what your new collaboration is!

Thank you for this awesome summary about pilling. I am pretty new to making sweaters, and am very impressed at your having made so many, and for how long you have been considering the importance of making long-lasting clothing. I recently made a sweater in a very soft yarn that I loved, but after the first few days of wearing, pilled like crazy in the friction areas (sleeves! agh!).

Also, appreciate the poem, which does summarize reasons to hope.

Happy Lunar New Year!
