Trivial Knits Episode 13 - Everything I Knit in 2025 (40+ patterns with my honest thoughts)

Making my (triumphant?) return to this channel with a sum-up of everything I knit in 2025. This video is very long, but it will give you a lot of patterns and yarns to consider (along with my honest thoughts about all of them), and now the decks are cleared and I'm ready for more frequent updates in 2026.

I'm also on Ravelry and Instagram as TrivialKnits

If you're looking for something in these show notes that I didn't include, please post a comment and I'll do my best to reply with the info you need!

I begin and end the video wearing my Vold Hat (designer: Atelier Cliche, yarns: Westwool Tandem) and Funfetti Raglan (details below). The items shown in the video thumbnail are the Lysandre Shawl, Checkered Vest, and Flicker and Flame Hat (details below).

Today's trivia question comes from The Wonder of Wool: A Knitter's Guide to Pure Breed Sheep, by Justine Lee & Jess Morency (Bookshop affiliate link: https://bookshop.org/a/8521/978144631...)

Question: Which country of the world has the greatest variety of native sheep breeds?
