    Wonderful newsy catch up video. Your cardi is gorgeous, acquisitions likewise. Can’t wait to follow the knitting progress. The retreat sounded like so much fun. Time to clean up the kitchen from all the yarn, heat up the tea and eat the chocy 😋. See you in vlogmas.

    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 😊

    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.

    I made a Wilfreda last year instead of a ranunculus- spotted on Grocery girls. It is such a fun quick knit you will love it. Mine has been worn a lot and I have another sweaters quantity stashed to knit another one, when I get all my obligation knitting out of the way. Half an Aran sweater and a hat to go!

    You could do as Kate Davies suggests in one of her books , which is to knit with two colours as normal, miss out the third colour stitches and then go round and knit the third colour, I always use this technique and catch any long floats on the next round. Works a treat.

    Welcome to the dark side!! I always love seeing your knit creations but I'm SO happy you've discovered a love for crochet! It looks like you're making great progress on both the new projects. I'm hoping you'll have many more crochet projects to show us in the future!

    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.

    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 😊

    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 🍃

    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

    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 in Australia though so unlikely I’d be able to get one- it just looks so neat and fresh! Your time at the retreat sounds simply magical!

    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.

    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  Месяц 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 Месяц 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!
