    Katie Green has a mushroom/ toadstool cardigan( fairy ring pattern) which is super cute. She also has matching hat and socks patterns. Loving your cardigan and half and half wrap. I hope that you have a lovely break...you deserve it!

    A great half and half alternative is The Til by Sonder Yarn. It’s a free pattern with a similar effect but starts with a smaller cast on and grows until you run out of yarn! 🫶🏼

    I was a little late watching this, but I have enjoyed it so much!! You were so happy and bubbly all the time, and I'm so pleased you're having a nice summer. The desire to lie down in the fun park and have a little meltdown was SO funny!! I love the Ambah O'brien shawl, especially in your beautiful pink yarn, and I'm very tempted to make it.

I’d give anything to come and visit you at the festival or in your shop and see in person those gorgeous knits of yours 😻 in the meantime, I will enjoy your company here. Thanks so much for this episode and for all the creative joy you always spread around. Take care of yourself now. ❤

    Hi Jana! I started watching your 2021 Vlogmas and sadly don't get back to watching very many videos lately. Life has gotten in the way. But, I have admired your Moomin mugs since I began watching and have never been able to purchase one until... yesterday! Barnes and Noble in the US has them now! I'm so excited because it reminds of you, my Finnish knitting friend.

I’d be in big trouble if I went, I could talk myself into buying way too much of everything. The new linen / wool yarn looks lovely, drapes so nicely, I can’t wait to see the colour palette for it. 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

    Welcome back to the other side of the festival.. Lovely to see you again. You helped me to knit the beginning of two sleeves with colour work with magic loop at the same time.The half and half wrap is looking so good I like pink and orange together. I've been thinking of making an half and half wrap for a long time.. I have a yarn cone with a colour that doesn't fit me in Jaimeson's and Smith and then my plan is to work up a lot of bits of fingering leftover sock yarn on the other half. Hope you have a great summer vacation with the family. Relax and do something for nice yourself every day.💟

  • @vivianpowell1732
    @vivianpowell1732 2 месяца назад

    Jana, my suggestion for an alternative to the Half+Half Triangles Wrap is a variation of the Soirée Scarf featured by Purl Soho. The pattern is written for stockinette, but I am knitting it in garter stitch. The Soirée Scarf is diamond shaped instead of being square, so the shape is less bulky and more easily worn year 'round. There is an Increase half and a Decrease half, using a different color of Linen Quill for each half. I have detailed notes about my Soirée Scarf on Ravelry. My Ravelry name is lexladylyn, and the project page is Soirée Scarf #1. I have never regretted shifting some of my Linen Quill stash over to the Soirée Scarf project.

    I have an idea what you could do with the other linen quill, you now the start of the hansel hap by Gudrun Johnston? Is starts with making a square.. you start at a corner and you increase every row; you could start knitting with one colour and when you have almost finished it you switch to the other colour and decrease until you are done… maybe too simple but I think it would be fun…
