    Can’t believe you mentioned Wool-Tyme! That’s my local yarn shop, and off there tomorrow morning for knitting “finishing” class tomorrow They have the best clearance section I’ve ever seen! 😊 Love the look of Clay Sweater! Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thank for all the detail on Twisted Affair, am going to make a couple for Christmas gifts. As a crocheter Linda Skuja patterns are gorgeous and well written. Love her 😍 Taira (Ottawa, Canada)

      Hope you are having a lovely day at Wool Tyme and enjoying your class. Thank you so much for letting me know you trust Linda Skuja’s designs. As someone who can crochet but doesnt know how to follow patterns, i definitely want to start with a trusted designer. :)

    I'm working on my first Twisted Affair as I watch this evening. Yes. my row gauge is off, and I wish I'd thought to do the 8-row cable instead of 10. Thanks for that idea. This one is a gift; there will be more. I have made a sweater out of Luft and as are all the Woolfolk bases, it is excellent. I may order two skeins right now and let the next Twisted Affair jump ahead in the queue. Loving a quickly finished project.
    All the best to your husband! x x x

      Thank you so much Marsha. I love hearing that you have had a good experience with Luft - and that you are knitting A Twisted Affair while watching. I would love to try the Luft. It is fun trying out new yarns. Even though the row gauge was different, I still think the 10 rows worked well and looked great on the hat so just doing 4x10 is still a good option. X

    Lovely podcast as usual. I remembered to pray for your husband and hope all went well. In our area, they will only do one knee at a time. So happy your husband was able to get them both done at the same time. I printed off the Twisted Knit hat pattern. I have 6 grandsons, so I am excited to make these for them as they all love outdoor snow sports. ❤

    Always amazed by your output. Although, that said, I have been pretty prolific this past 6 weeks. I finished off 3 long term WIPs (all jumpers) and knitted 3 new ones (Ranunculus, Shifty and Florence's Step-by-Step Sweater). I was sick for 10 days and all I could do was knit. Now I have to wait until next Winter to wear them. Thanks again Tash for such rich content. K

    Love your Twigs & Willows cardi, had to pause and run to Ravelry. I fell in love with all of Alana Dakos's designs, my favourites list grew dramatically. My favourite 'squishy' wool is the Peppin range by Fiddlesticks, especially Peppin 4, which is good wool to use for kids, doesn't have the itch & scratch factor & I haven't had any experience of it pilling either.

    • @mostlyknitting

    Your test knit is lovely. Could you please recommend a Jennifer Steingast colour work pattern for a beginner in colour work? Something with short floats would be great.
    Many thanks for all the time you put into your podcast 👩‍🌾🐑🐮

    • @mostlyknitting
      @mostlyknitting  Месяц назад +1

      Thank you so much. I would recommend Darkwater or Newleaf. They were great patterns and without long floats (or only in a couple of rows). Both great patterns that fit really well. I did cut out 6 rows of the yoke of Darkwater (first and last 3 as the yoke was going to be too long for me). :)

    Healing thoughts to your husband, Tesh!
    I’m not a fan of kniiting flat but your vault sweater is very pretty! And, interesting way to correct the 6 rows!
    I’ve been doing a lot of fair isle knitting in the round lately. I’m wondering if you can explain/show how you handle connecting the end of round with the beginning of round. At the end of round, I pick up the stitch below, place it on the left needle and knit the picked up stitch with the first stitch. It works great in striping patterns but I’d like a cleaner connection of the colorwork when working fair isle. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! ☀️

    • @mostlyknitting
      @mostlyknitting  Месяц назад

      Thank you so much for the healing wishes.
      I have to say that i dont do anything different at the end/start of a fair isle round. I just accept there is a bit of a jog in the patterning there and havent worried too much about it - partly because it is in the middle of my back and partly because i am not sure i could do anything that would help that wouldnt cause a different problem such as puckering around the area. Sorry I am no help with that one.

    Your Snowbloom is beautiful! I love the colours. I don’t know why I can’t get myself back into colourwork, after doing nothing else for years I guess I’ll have to wait until the urge returns. Best of luck to your husband. Mine had both knees done one at a time and is very happy to be pain free. Hope you have lots of ice ready.

      Thank you so much Hilda. I am so happy to hear your husband is happy after having his knees done. I think that is a good plan to just knit what you feel like knitting and wait till the urge returns. Knitting often comes in seasons of things you want to do or make. X
