Welcome to I’ll Knit 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’m very interested to learn how you organize your daily schedule to make time for all you do. Do you have extra help at home for your household stuff and childcare? I’m struggling daily to make time to knit and hence sleep and do much needed exercise while producing FOs, your input greatly appreciated!!!

2. Pilling! How do you prevent or remove pilling on a finished object? I have a de-pilling comb which works well, but it seems like I can never keep up with the return of the pills! / Does superwash pill more than non superwash and what can I do to get rid of the pilling (I've been using small scissors). / What's your preferred method for de-pilling sweaters? Are there any yarns you have found are less likely to pill? https://www.gleener.com/

3. How do you adjust pattern if you want to use a different weight yarn. For living in the south!!!

4. Which of your patterns would you suggest for someone who has never knitted a sweater before but wants to try?

5. Do you pre wash your indie yarns before knitting with them.

Bonus question: Do you have any particular tips for brioche?
