Hi! My name is Rachel, and I am knitting! Well, not right now, but most of the time! I post weekly podcast updates, as well as videos of my knitting process, handy tutorials, yarn hauls, and silly stories. Also, and maybe the most exciting: I host knitting focused trips to exciting destinations and post the recaps here!
Thanks for being here and following along with all my projects and the fun I'm having along the way!

Loved this last one, I watched it earlier today but wanted to come back on to say that I teared up along with you at the end 😢 If you ever decide to do knitting meet ups on your tours (I’m in Ireland!) let me (or the internets) know!
I love your series. What is the pattern of the vest you wore in Episode 5? I must have it!!! Many thanks.
Thanks! I was wearing the Easy Ribbed Slipover - it’s a free pattern from Lion Brand!
I so enjoy your Ravelry series! Keep them coming please. I wasn't aware of the stash filters before today. That is great! 😊
I’m glad you’re enjoying them! Thanks so much for watching 💜
Ooh you haven't said it yet, but I think that's your california sweater! I just watched her cast. btw, I started following your casts because she mentioned you a while back! When you show us the clips with sweaters as worn, I wish you'd dooo so for a little longer. Wow! I'd forgotten about "Save my Stash" I hope that will be fun for you two. I don't want to offend by correcting, but I think you mean "lanoLyn" (not lanonin). But for some folks--if you've heard about folks having "wool allergies"--it may be the lanolin that their skin reacts to. I love the colors of the wool and your spinning of it!
Yes I definitely got lanolin mixed up in this video 😂😂😂
I think your doppio neck looks fine!
Thanks!
On the subject of time spent knitting: the girls on Two Purls in a Pod came up with the beanie metric - how many beanies is this project equivalent to? In terms of time and effort spent making. The larger the project, the more beanies, but also more difficult projects would mean more beanies. E.g. a stockinette raglan sweater might be like... 6 beanies. An intricate lace project might be 10? It's good because it takes into account that difficulty level is relative! Something that's difficult for me might not be difficult for you. They said it offhand in a video but it's actually a useful way to think about projects!
That’s a really great way to think about it!
Hello from Swansea IL. This is my first time watching your podcast and I subscribe to it.
Thanks for being here!
P.S. I definitely see the point that people are making re: making socks by cranking them on a machine vs. making them by knitting them yourself on needles. It is similar (to me) to the breadmaking thing. People used to ask me why I didn't just get a bread machine and make the process so much faster and easier. I have never thought it needed to be faster or easier to make bread. And I have never been interested in getting a bread machine. Same for a knitting machine. But that's ME. I think people should mind their own business and do what THEY want and ignore what others are choosing to do. Unless people have something positive to say (definitely in the fiber/making world) they don't need to say anything. Just my opinion of course.
I totally agree!!
Hi, I was the helper at Hazel Tindall’s workshop. It was lovely to meet you and all the other tour members. It looks like you had a great time from your videos. Hopefully see you again if you come to Shetland. Andrea xx
It was fabulous to meet you! You are so talented! Will definitely be back :)
Sorry, but the tour is about 5000€. And you buy lots of wool ect. I don't think it is very unreasonable to ask you to one time pay 200 $ for the comfort of your viewers. Who in turn also supply you with money/opportunities to make such trips and make money of the same trips. That comment felt very of to me.
Thanks for your comment! It was not my intent to make you or any other viewer feel like I do not value you - far from the case! My intent with those comments was to communicate an acknowledgement of the limitations of the footage. Since this video, a generous viewer has gifted me a gimbal, so I'm excited to have more stabilized travel vlogs moving forward. Thanks again for watching and for your comment.
😂 I've only ever made flat sweaters and cardigans. Top down to me I scary. I started knitting when I was 4 and am now 73. So do the math😊
Maybe the Azucena sweater could be your upcoming travel / plane knitting?
This is my 3rdvog with you …..are you ever going to talk about actual knitting? I am trying to learn.
You can look at my page for more knitting videos. I don’t teach knitting on here though.
Is your grandma also in Louisiana?
No, none of my family is here outside of my married family.
@@rachelisknitting so where is the cabin, state I mean.
Oh wait. You said at some point you were in Oregon. Is that where your fam is?
your azucena looks lovely. Maybe find a tv show to binge and just sit down with it? I agree about the lanolin, a very nice bonus while you spin! I don't know much about where/when it gets removed in the wool production process, but we don't tend to see it much in most yarns, especially the more commercially produced ones. If you find out any more about it, I'd love to hear about it.
I've been working on it this week as my TV show knit, so we are on the same page here! Making slow but steady progress on it.
Everything looks so good!! I’m dying to cast on The Choice Is Your cowl by Flynn knit! And a doppio!
Can't wait to see what you choose!
So many laughs in this episode, Rachel, thank you!!! And the future Rachel has a lot to thank you for as well!
Thanks for watching!!
Your "inside out" cowl looks great! One way to clarify what side you want showing is to describe it as "the public-facing" side. No matter what side the pattern calls "wrong side", if you want that "wrong side" showing, it might be easier to describe it as public-facing. I only suggest this because I, too, have struggled with trying to explain what the heck I was trying to do with the "right side / wrong side" of a pattern. :-)
Thank you! Great way to think about this!
Muy bien, Rachel! 👏🏾 Your pronunciation is great on those names now! Say them with confidence! Your Azucena looks lovely. I look forward to your next Doppio, too.
Thank you! 😃
Put that on your needles and knit it! Surely?
As opposed to put that in your garden and water it? 😅
@@rachelisknitting exactly! 😂
What about beyond 100s?
You’d make a mental note and start back at the beginning. You could also put a locking stitch marker to note the 100s place.
The yarn you chose for your knit California sweater is gorgeous on you 💜🧶💫 love your content Rachel !! Bobbi at Knitters Kniche has a video on summer tees, you should check out 😉 for pretty ideas
Thank you! I’ll give that video a look 💜
I just found you from a YT recommendation. Congrats on 5k. I'll have to go back and check out your Shetland video😊
Welcome!
Those cropped Celeste tops look amazing on you. FYI, in defense of Petite Knits, her regular sizes are ridiculously oversized also. Look at the way she wears that cardi. You could fit two of her in there.
Rachel, thank you for filming the gleener in action. This was useful to me as I specifically got on google searching for how well it works. Now I’m going to check out the rest of your channel because you come across delightfully honest and pleasant.
Glad it was helpful!
I know I'm quite late to watch this and comment, but I also have similar strong feelings and frustrations. I think you are 100% correct that this was a confluence of several factors, including your chosen size, gauge inconsistency (though I think this is less of the issue), generally what styles look good on YOU, and (most of all) how the pattern was graded. It does not work to just upscale numbers because other measurements do not usually increase proportionally to bust size. Ysolda Teague has a wonderful very technical podcast episode on this topic if you are interested. This is why compound raglans work really well on everyone and the currently very popular drop shoulders often do not.
Yes, I think that this was the perfect storm. The pattern is meant to be oversized, but I think it translates differently across sizes. I don’t think it’s this oversized in the upper bust particularly in the lower sizes like it is in the version I made!
You have a new subscriber! You are so real and fun to watch! These are the podcasts I love to watch while I knit my own projects.
Yay! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
:)
I love both of those sweaters. I would wear the one you are having doubts about. I think it’s beautiful.
Oh thank you!
You are the best, I love your personality. As a teacher myself, I have always been curious what grade you teach?
Love all your podcasts Rachel! Your humor is refreshing!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy them!
I just knit a faded sweater that I’m not happy with, so I feel your pain!! 😢 I’m considering over dying - may be something you could consider??
This was a suggestion someone made earlier and I’ve been thinking about it!
If if if if if you wanted to retry the doppio with this yarn, I think the third set of yarns you talk about should all be one color to try it all together. IF you wanted to start over
I definitely will not be starting this one over.
Or if you want to fade another project with 3 strands again
Lol, these are my live reactions. I do not have the cognition to have an opinion and hold it until the end of the video
Rachel, Thank you for taking the time to make this podcast. I started with Shetland, then watched Ireland and am now watching all your other podcasts. You are a delight to listen to, I love your humour. I can't imagine why anyone would be mean or rude to you. Life is too short to do things like that and I'm glad that you obviously don't let such things upset you. I am looking forward to your next trip to Ireland and wish I was joining you in person.
Thank you so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Love your Doppio, for reals! Thx for the yarn management tips for the arms. I’m stressing about the Seaglass cardigan arms matching the body. I think I’ll need to do the same thing. So helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Can’t wait to see your Seaglass!
Congrats on 5k! I enjoy watching whenever you post. Also love Darby giving you support on your sweater she is such a good dog.
She is the best 🥹
G’day Rachel, another fun & informative episode. 🍀 Anyone who is ‘mean’ to you you and your followers wouldn’t want their ugly vibes anywhere near your podcast. Never let anyone dull your fun personality ❣️🍀🇦🇺
Thank you! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
enjoy!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Wilson Elizabeth Williams Mary Anderson Carol
Not sure what this refers to
I learned something new again!!!
💃💃💃
Your California Sweater is so amazing! I am in love with the color every time I see it! Thank you for being an amazing tester and I'm so glad your snapping transition finally worked out 😮💨
Ride or die baby!!!
I think the fade you picked out I hope you enjoy your trip yo Ireland thanks again for the info knitting. H7,
You're slowly convincing me to go through my entire stash and log it, but lots of it is leftover random balls from my late mum so I have no info for it and don't feel confident to class yarn weights
That is tricky! Maybe start with what you have concrete info on and see how it goes.
This is so helpful, I had no idea! I'm tempted to add my stash. Is there any way to make it private? :P
Not that I know of unfortunately!
Also, about those people who are mean to you, not everybody is for everybody. That’s what that block button is for 😂
I’m getting braver to use it more 😂
I really do like your faded/not really faded Dopio pullover. It’s beautiful even if it’s not what you envisioned. I’ve been there. I have learned I am happier with a fade if the yarns all have similar color value as they blend much more easily.
Two comments in two days…. You have helped give me confidence to use Ravelry 7:43 . You’re a good teacher .
So glad this helped!
Fine, fine, fine you got me, I'll upload my entire stash into ravelry!
About time!!!!
😂😂😂
I just returned from a week in Shetland. I got the verY same Tam kit. Love your videos
Very cool!
I watched your Ireland video, I think it was the first one you did where you were on a boat going to an island for a couple days. I say that because you had a beautiful purple turtleneck sweater on that I cannot stop thinking about. If you have any idea as to what I’m talking about, can you please share a pattern with me? Also, when is your next Scotland trip?
That sweater is my turnunculus, or turtleneck version of the Ranunculus! I knit 40 rows of the collar before starting the yoke in order to make a turtleneck. It’s long sleeved and slightly cropped as for other mods I made to get the look of that FO :)
