My gosh Kaci, your episodes are so full of such a wide variety of knitting content! Your videos are so beautifully done 🥰 Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I have also decided starting this January to devote Saturdays to wips, also including different crafts like cross stitch, needle felting, punch needle, all those kits I've been collecting, just to get them done and out of my wips closet, including mending my hubby's socks, because he likes to put holes in his heels. I already participate in Scrappy Sunday with my Granny Square Blanket and Coxiest Memory Blanket, so I thought since I'm trying to move these wips etc. out and get them done, I'm calling it my I Like To Move It Move It Saturday! 😁
Very fun! I like it ❤
Please be assured you do not stress me out 💕. Thank you for sharing so much about your creativity
😊 thank you
Thank you for another cosy episode. I’m knitting on a pair of socks for my 18 year old. He has not wanted anything knit before, so when he asked I cast on immediately. 😊 He got to pick the yarn and chose one that’s bright red and black. Happy knitting from Anna in Sweden.
Yay!!!!
Helpful tip I use in quilted square cardigan. Put a marker after stitches 8 and 20. They tell you where the vertical lines are. Saved me time and frustration
Great tip ❤
I agree - your Noro sweater looks better after the sweater surgery! 👍🏻😊
Thanks ❤
I’m wanting to make the Heirloom Cardigan and I’d love to know what you mean by wrapping the Color work. I have only knit one color work sweater and it was a beast. 😂 I like these smaller squares!
Always inspired by your knits!
Thank you ❤
15:20 I use a charp needle to „unspin“ the yarn ends by this I can reduce the volume of them es well, then split them into half and cross them (spit and rub them between my hands).
I tryed cutting the half away before, but I prefer the needle. Hope this helps someone else too 😊
Great tip ❤
Always love your videos! The quilted cardigan looks beautiful. Your color palettes are always inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
Hello from Carbondale
Hello!
Hello Kaci. Gr8 job readjusting your sweater. The Heirloom Quilt Cardigan 😍😍 Whaattt? Stunning! Something that I would like 2 make but it will have 2 wait, as I am working on The Milton by JOJI Locatelli; I’m have fun knitting this up 😀
Your quilt cardigan will be beautiful, just like everything you make. ❤
Oh thank you!
Great episode! The quilt cardigan will be a masterpiece. So special!
Thank you ❤
Love the “block” sweater! That’s going on my bucket list. 😊. I’m still working on my second pair of Pressed Flower socks. ❤
Thanks! The pressed flower socks are so pretty!
Hey! I am knitting with the woolyknit oatmeal colourway right now :) I'm making a Field Day Sweater by Ozetta for myself :) Good luck with the testknit x x x
Wonderful!
Great episode Kaci! Can’t wait for the “wooly wools” KAL and trying some yarn new to me. Thanks for this and thank you to the KAL sponsor for the discount! WIN!❤❤❤❤❤
Yay so excited
Literally just knitting in a knot as you said it - spooky 😮Mine is fiddlesticks finch (cotton) though
😂😂😂😂
I looooove the heirloom cardigan and your colors are just fabulous 🤎
Thank you so much!
I have yarn from Coast to Coast Yarn Co.'s last preorder coming for my own Heirloom quilt cardigan and I'm so excited. I did math ahead of time to get the fit I want, and to make the colors fit without touching.
Cannot wait to see your Heirloom Quilt Cardigan!
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
I have been giving the Heirloom Quilt pattern the side eye. The next time I am in my LYS (Salty Sheep, Swansboro, NC), I plan to look at the available colors of Rowan felted Tweed. I want deep earthy colors although I am most often drawn to bright vivid colors.
That would be lovely ❤
I LOVE the colours that you chose for your heritage quilt cardigan! Gorg.
Thank you so much!
@@YoungfolkKnits you're welcome 😊
The quilt cardigan is a pattern i am in love with and is on my to buy list after a work through some of my stash!
❤❤❤
Another wonderful video!! I love love love seeing what you are knitting on - including your “test knits”. And I’m not holding my breath on you not doing very many this year 😂 thanks for sharing and providing so much JOY!!
Thank you so much! 🤣
That Noro sweater looks sooooo good on you!!
Thank you love ❤
What a great podcast I am in the uk and also making the heirloom quilt cardigan such fun deciding on the colours love your choices xx
Have fun!
Lovely episode Kaci! I love your bravery with the Noro sweater! It looks great!! 🤎🤎
Thank you!! 😊
LOVE your glorious Noro Madara sweater! It is so rich looking with that deep brown colorway. Seems like you got it done so quickly. You got it goin on GF!!!!!! Keep the inspiration comin!!!!!!!!!! Knitting hugs, Carrie from Northern San Francisco Bay Area🥰💓🐶🐑🌹☕🧵🪡🧶
Thank you so much!!
Your sweater came out perfect. The length looks great.
Thank you! 😊
The Noro jumper looks fantastic!
Thanks!!!
You did such a good job with this sweater surgery! Looks fabulous
Thanks!❤
What beautiful colours you have picked for that cardigan!! It's been on my wishlist for a while now, and hearing that it's about an hour per square might finally be the thing that gets me to start it. Thanks for the push!!
You should!
Loved seeing all of your makes and frogs, unfortunate it made some folks fell stressed. I know some folks can get that way, but for myself it was fun to watch and think what I would do with each of your projects. It was nice of you to share and be honest about all of your projects. Thank you for another inspiring video : )
thank you!
I'm glad to see you working on the Sacred Sheep Hat again! I was inspired by you to knit that hat and I absolutely adore it! I didn't realize how versatile that pattern is and perfect for scraps! I plan on knitting a second one soon. Another great episode Kaci, thank you for sharing! Hope you are doing well and Happy February!
Yay, thank you!
Wow! Great result with your sweater surgery! I had knots in my Noro too.
Thanks!
Ooh, looking forward to the Wooly Knit-along! I have two cones in stash that I'm planning to use for a Kerr Sweater - this is the perfect opportunity to cast on!
Wonderful!
Such wooly goodness!! Love to know the piece that plays on the record player at the beginning!🤩
It’s called “what once was” ❤
Hi Kaci, Here in New York State, I worked on a sock while I enjoyed your podcast. Thank you for taking the time to share all your projects with us on RUclips. I admire your style so very much. Also, I am in awe of your skill and work ethic! I look forward to your videos…just wanted you to know and say “thank you “…
Thank you so much ❤
Love the colors you chose for the Heirloom Quilt Cardigan so much!! Its a dream knit ☺ Your opinions on the Noro Madara are really helpful! I've been really wanting to try it but I didn't know it breaks easily and I do knit tightly, so its good to know! 💛
It did not break for me but I can see how it might ❤
I tried the heirloom pattern and although I’m a prolific knitter I just hated my finished squares. They were so bad. But I haven’t given up. I’m going to try and knit it in one piece (stillmperculating on that idea though😉). Good for you that you’re able to do it. The back of your block looks amazing.
Thanks for sharing!
Your sweater looks so good! I'm so glad you shortened it because now it's stunning. It made me feel so good that knitting one square took you all day, and I don't mean that meanly. Between kids and dogs and work it takes me all day just to get a few rows done. It's nice to see that everyone isn't calmly knitting the day away (which is what my brain tells me at times lol) Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
I'm so glad! Yes about of times it’s just knitting a few stitches as I can!
Your cardigan is going to be GORGEOUS, Kaci!!! Hmmmmmm a MAL? I may have to join!
❤❤❤❤
I on a sweater for first daughter. It is my second sweater out of the Madara. I had a piece break but didn’t notice too many knots. So aggravating.
That’s good you didn’t have knots!!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work with us!!!
I was inspired to knit the Heirloom Quilt Cardigan when you mentioned it last time. I am brand new to color work, but I am a fast learner. And I'm not afraid to tackle things that seem complex. So I'm very excited to work on this!!
But I was thinking as I was watching this how incredible it would be if you could do a video tutorial on how you knit one of these squares focusing on how you combine the intarsia with the ladderback jaquard. Or if you have a great video you can give for reference that would be amazing also! Thank you for being so inspiring! You have quickly become my FAVORITE youtube knitter!
Awww thank you so much! I will try to film a video ❤
Hi Kaci, I just love the Noro sweater and it looks so great on you. Plus I was fascinated by your sweater surgery with the grafting, such a great fix! The Heirloom Cardigan is going to be so beautiful and I have added it to my Ravelry queue. Looking forward to see how yours progresses!
Thank you ❤❤❤
I am working on the "Food for the Journey" scarf from Fellowship of the Knits pattern book. It's all lacework, which i am really enjoying. I love to see everything you are working on. That sweater turned out great!
Sounds great!
PLEASE share ur energy 😄. Do u have a Japanese restaurant nearby? I thought u lived like rural miles away from urban (ur home pics look like u r in the boondocks😊). Thanks for sharing.
Yes and yes lol it’s a nearby town 😉
Omg Kacy I am so glad you talked about the multiple knots in the Noro Madara yarn. I purchased this yarn after I saw you working with it, and it looks so beautiful. I can’t believe how many knots I have come across, sorry it happened to you but I’m glad it wasn’t just me.
Oh wow! I hate that 🥲
I test knit the quilt cardigan. I made a size one. It was a really fun knit I just wish I had knit it like one more row longer then the pattern suggested
Great insight! Thanks ❤
Kaci, I love your podcast, and have almost finished watching all your episodes from the beginning! You are an inspiring knitter (I have more WIPS now than when I started watching 😬) and I love how relaxing your videos are, especially the farm and spinning parts. I look forward to seeing many more. BTW - what jumper are you wearing in this one? Look like fisherman's rib? Cheers, Jamie in Australia (originally from Oregon)
I am sneaking some knitting into my grading afternoon as I am a teacher. I am working on the ribbing of the Antler Toque by Tin Can Knits. Checking out the motif to see if I want to knit the sweater.
Nice!!!
Quick question for you to consider: How will your Heirloom cardigan work structurally without the central panel of three squares in the back? Your current plans seem to be 12 squares in the front and a matching 12 squares in the back but that will mean you have no space for your back neckline. You could maybe make your top front panels either side of the neck into triangles to accommodate. You have totally inspired me to knit an Heirloom. And I live only 8 miles from the Woollyknit mill in Diggle, so I can go and try to grab some part cones. 🤗
Yes i have decided to s itch sizes 😢
@@YoungfolkKnits Oh, good - there’s always a work around. Swatched my first heirloom square today and my yarn is waaaaaay too thick. Was helpful to have seen your lovely drapey squares to have something to aim for. You’re fabulous, did you know? x
Your Noro Madara sweater looks absolutely amazing! The colour looks so good on you! Re: knots in skeins - this is something I experienced as well. I'm a splicer so I tried to not let it bother me. However, when I used Noro Silk Garden Solo (the worsted one), there was at least 1 or 2 knots in every. single. skein. and I used 10 skeins. Maybe it's a Noro thing? Thanks again for a lovely video.
Oh no. That’s good to know. I’m about to knit a cardigan out of the sake similar to yours so I will see if it is full of knots as well
I am working on Anchor Point, designed by Jennifer Beale, using Holst Super Soft, Illimani Sabri, and other woolly yarns from my stash. Also, the Riptide Slipover by JST designs.
This sounds lovely ❤
I'm loving your colors of the Heirlooms Quilt Cardigan so far. I made it too and was off gauge too so I also thought of just taking out some but then when I went to seam the fronts to the back I realized there would be enough room for the neck opening...just wanted to give you heads up incase you encounter the same problem.
Yess I’ve decided to rip out make the smaller square
Hi Kaci, I love the heirloom quilt cards you're making! I'm wondering if you could knit say four in a row in the round and steek them to save purling and also to knock a few out at a time. You could alternate colours in the colour work between the background and star....
Great idea! Maybe 🤔
❤❤❤
❤
Size 2 blocks for the heirloom cardigan are supposed to be 7in wide and 5 1/2in long. The measurements you read are for the size 1 blocks. So if you're knitting a size two, you're gold.
Unfortunately I think the size 2 will be too big so I’m going down to the size 1 blocks shooting for somewhere in between
Hii.. Been seeing your podcast, everything u make ia wonderful✨😍.. Just wanted to know that u don't give any tutorials for the patterns u show?
I don’t do many tutorials mainly just chatty podcasts ❤
There seem so many possibilities for the heirloom quilt design other than a cardigan. Need to do a lot of math. Ugg.
❤❤❤
I glanced up fr om my crochet project and saw your colorwork square soaking. My very first thought was, " why is her square in the 🚽??" 🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
❤❤❤ the Noro sweater pictures! It looks SO perfect for cozy, Fall vibes. Question abt knots (I'm a naughty knitter who knots-doesn't block). I predominantly knit small items (mitts, baby hats, mittens, scarves, baby blankets). I've never noticed knots BUT when knitting ALWAYS make sure knots is on wrong side)~does that hide knotting? I also use size 6-8 needles & worsted weight acrylic yarn. I just began thinking of sweater /garment knitting & notice needle size is usually smaller & yarn recommended is natural fiber. Just wondering if those attributes will lead to knots showing as you described. Thoughts? Love your pod! Even started looking at spinning wheels! ❤
It can! But sometimes with wear al the stitches get jiggled and it can work its way around to the front. You can probably just push it back into place out of sight tho ❤
Kaci can you give us an update on your dad? They say, "No news is good news", but . . .
He is making progress! ❤❤
Wonder why we can't knit two squares at a time on that cardigan? I have the pattern. Not sure that would work. But then it would be less seaming? It's a big knit- for all the reasons you stated. All the best, Kimberly
Possible!
❤🌈
Would it be possible to work the quilt cardi in the round? I know not the original idea for quilts- But!?!
Probably!
lovely podcast! but I am totally a "just ignore the knot" kind of girly
That works too lol
What sweater are you wearing in the podcast please ❤
I hate to tell you that it’s old navy from many years ago 😂
@@YoungfolkKnitsno 😭
For me, one square takes one hour
Sounds about like the average square time!
Noro is notorious for having multiple knots in their yarn-pretty sure that's not a batch problem, just a Noro brand yarn problem unfortunately. I think that's what partially makes Noro Yarn so polarizing!
Ah ok! Good to know
I really your Heirloom Cardigan squares! 🧶That sushi looked so good. 😋
Thank you 😋
