    Lovely to see you! I love the colours in your reading shawl! I have a pink fluffy, lacy bed jacket I made years ago, probably when I had my oldest daughter (she's just had her 43rd birthday! Her birthday was at the end of last month, mine is on Monday. She gave me an early gift, one of those lovely shaped pillows, for when I am reading or knitting in bed!
    Years ago, husband Steve and I did a dying workshop, with lots of other people. We were at opposite ends of the room, but we both dyed our yarns green, almost the same! Isn't it strange how that happens?😂

    Love your cardigan. It's a lovely colour. I'm wearing my Evendoon as I watch the podcast! I made the Evendoon just over a year ago and took it on holiday and left it in Barcelona. I had to get it posted back to the UK took forever and didn't think I was going to see it again. Lovely podcast.

    Ooooh this has all been lovely. The colour of your cardigan is absolutely divine.
    I don't know how much longer I can hold out on the granny wrap.... 😂 I feel it in my near future.
    I love that yarn bouquet, I'd love to go to that retreat one day. I feel like we all need a SACK pack (Socially Awkward Companion Knitters). Well I do anyway 😊

    Hi Becky. It was lovely to meet you at the woollay retreat. It was my friend Gail who dyed the skein similar to yours. Such an inspiring weekend 🧶🧶🧁

    That Norma is a beauty! The bright orange is just perfect. I love your Evendoon, too -- I've made three or four. And now I always make my buttonholes with an I-cord. So tidy. Thanks for another lovely video with lots of yarny goodness!

    Hi Becky - I think it was my yarn that looked very like yours although my inspiration picture was Hellebores, but I wanted it to be very much lighter. It was great to meet you on the retreat. xx

    After seeing Sarah and Ali’s Annaboos’ House Granny Wraps, I used my 2023 Ruby and Roses Advent to make one. Such a fun project and I love the finished object! That Birdstreet Yarn in Ken’s Pyjamas colorway is breathtaking. Maybe I can get the skein of nonsparkle that you originally ordered! Thanks for a fantastic podcast, Becky! I can hardly wait for Vlogmas. If Jack wanted to do just one or two Vlogmas episodes, I know I, as well as others, would be thrilled. But no pressure, only if he has time and wants to.

    Lol, this episode was so commical, I had to grin almost the whole time through. Haha. Entertainment and wonderful knitting and crocheting - what else do we need (maybe a cup of tea 🙂 ). Looking forward to your next episode for sure.
    P.S. Love the grey jumper with the bright orange stripes. Awesome! It suits you very well. 🙂

    A vlog chock full of much loveliness 😍 your cardigan, socks, cowl, crochet and all the beautiful yarn you have bought/been given. I must knit a hot water bottle cover too, I have exactly the same horrible non wool one as you, but in brown, I have dk wool that was on sale and I don't fancy knitting into any wareable item so it will be perfect for the cover.....And...I have the same basket as you, mine is a tab bigger and overflowing with yarn. Gosh I am an introvert and am very awkward with new people, my voice clams up and I don't know what to say, but get me amongst friends and I suddenly become an extrovert haha x

    Thank you for recommending the Wilfreda pattern. I have made so many ranunculus sweaters and didn’t want to make another. This looks like it will be a great replacement for a quick knit gift sweater.

    Hi Becky. Lovely catching up with you. Your red cardi is beautiful. I need to order me some of that yarn. So proud of you and your gorgeous granny wrap. I’ve made the natures walk blanket. It’s a lovely pattern. Would like to make another in wool rather than acrylic. I’m not into Christmas but your Christmas sock yarn looks amazing. Can’t wait to see it knitted up 😊

    • @BacktoBlighty

    Hi Becky, love your makes, those woolly knit cones from memory weigh about 17g so hopefully that helps you figure out how much you have left. I'm currently knitting a cardigan in woolly knit British 4ply held double in a beautiful natural brown, my 2nd version of the garden cardigan by ankestrick, a wonderful pattern 🍃

  • @pamelageoghegan8859
    @pamelageoghegan8859 День назад

    Thanks very much, Becky. Your cardigan is beautiful. I love the toadstool socks. I have made 2 of the Granny Wraps so far (thanks to Ali's endorsement of the pattern) and they are really relaxing to make. I am currently crocheting the Persian Tiles throw by Janie Crow in the Marrakesh colourway. The yarn you showed at the end of the podcast is amazing. Looking forward to vlogmas.

    • @BacktoBlighty
      @BacktoBlighty  22 часа назад +1

      Thank you so much. Let's all blame Ali!! 😂. I'm off to check out the Persian Tiles throw...

  • @bburke6650
    @bburke6650 6 часов назад

    BTW, you can estimate how much yarn you have left on the cone by weighing your Evendoon, then subtracting that from the original weight of the cone.

    I’m a knitting novice, how do you hold the yarn double coming off a cone?

  • @emilysmith2784
    @emilysmith2784 23 часа назад

    So nice seeing your podcast back! If possible could you put up a picture when you’re talking about a pattern? I have to admit I’m not that trendy and I am not on Instagram or anything so when you mention a pattern just by its name and designer I have no idea what it looks like 😂
    Oh and I am thinking of a granny wrap too. I don’t know it is about sitting in bed and cold shoulder, doesn’t bother me when I’m sitting on the couch 🤷‍♀️

    • @BacktoBlighty
      @BacktoBlighty  22 часа назад

      Thank you! Sometimes it's not possible to share photos if they are copyrighted, which is why there are links in the description box. Let me know if I have missed the pattern you are looking for and I'll check the links. I'm really looking forward to wearing my shawl in bed! 😂

  • @Wynona-Anderson
    @Wynona-Anderson День назад

    Lovely episode, Becky! Quick question- when you held the yarn double for your evendoon cardigan, did you wind off some yarn to hold double, or did you have two cones? It’s really beautiful!

    • @BacktoBlighty
      @BacktoBlighty  22 часа назад

      Thank you! I just wound off a ball and then pulled one end from the centre and one end from the outside at the same time.
