Love your videos, patterns, yarns I have bought here & there. Who taught you to knit, what is one of your most intricate or involved pieces you've knitted that you're really proud of? Truth & honesty is a most important value to me.

Hi Chandi….Omgosh so many great questions in the comments already!!😊🙌 I would like to know how we can tell how much stretch a garment will have if we use a slightly different yarn fiber than what the pattern calls for. Example: I made one of your Cardigan pattern….but at the time I couldn’t afford the DK weight from you (sorry) so I used DK acrylic. Finished cardigan had A LOT of stretch, especially the length (sleeves & body) that it did not look at yours. It’s gorgeous and I enjoyed making it so much but just didn’t know it would have that much stretch. I just love all your patterns…..LOVE reading your inspiring emails and love watching your videos (especially the bloopers at the end 😂). You are such a sweet beautiful inspiring person & such a delight to watch. Thank you for ALL you do. Can’t wait to see this Q&A video!

How do you A) have such a calming, serene aura. B) How do you make everything so aesthetic and beautiful? There never seems to be an item that isn't just stunning from color way to stitch combinations.

I thought of one more! If you don’t mind sharing, what is your cultural background and have you ever knitted/crocheted a project that is associated with your culture (i.e. blanket, special garment, etc.)?

I learned to knit and crochet from your videos, so I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a long time and I’m super excited you’re going to do a video like this! What is your favorite shawl you’ve ever knitted or crocheted? What made you decide to move away from Alaska? Do you have any other creative pursuits (i.e. painting, jewelry making, etc.)? What job did you and Tim both do before you decided to do EFA full time? Thank you!

I am 75 yrs of age been crocheting off and on since I was 21 when I learned to crochet. I believe I found you on YouTube I was looking for crochet patterns and there you were with so many other folks! I click you because of your smile. You have inspired me to expand ourselves. So I bought some of your yarn and downloaded lots and lots of your patterns. I have made some shawls and more. I was wondering How do I store my yarn after I get it home? Do I leave it in bag until I'm ready to use it?????? Brenda from Swansboro

You always have a positive and calm way about you, have you considered writing a book on this? What is the most favourite thing you've made so far? Approximately how many hours a week are you able to do yarn work? Have you considered doing vlogs of your life? Is there something/pattern you've always wanted to try/make but haven't yet? OK, I think that's enough! Lol! 🥰

Not sure if this is what you had in mind for questions, but would it be possible to be able to search for yarn by color on your site? It can be overwhelming when you need a specific color and have to go through all the yarn types…. Also, just a huge thank you for all you do. You make it look easy when it isn’t, and you are always so inspiring. 🧡

Love, love, love the yarns! Thank you for bringing them to us all. My question... Do you use yarn bowls? If yes, what do you love about them? If no... why not?

I'd be interested in how you set up EFA, and how you found dyers, spinners, the sources for the wool, etc.
