I'm really enjoying your episodes!
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed your podcast so much! Love all the projects and your yarn choices/inspo! Thanks for music and book recs, too! Hope you have the most wonderful day! ♥
Aww I'm happy you enjoyed the video! Thank you for coming to say hi! I hope you have a great day too!
Love the new color pallette with the mohair and the unspun sweater in progress!
☺️☺️ thanks!
It’s cold so I am inside winter here in Victoria Australia 😊sometimes it is more expensive in the long run to buy individual patterns especially here where we have to double the cost of most of the patterns and books the only advantage of the pattern is you don’t have to pay for postage and that has become horrendous love the pattern for the socks and the yarn .if you feel your tension is too tight in colour work turn your work inside out so the floats are on the outside,this seems to give it the extra stretch it often needs .too authors that do great fantasy are tamora pierce especially her winding ways series great fro crafters, and some of illona andrews series. And who can forget the best dragon series of all by Anne mc caffery.knitting on hand spun socks and very slow going. Enjoy your videos very much keep up the good work.
Ohh I hope you’re staying cozy and warm inside. I agree about buying individual patterns vs. a book. I feel if I’m going to make 2 or more patterns from a book it’s worth buying it. Though international shipping really has become insanely expensive recently. I can’t wait to check out the books you mentioned. Thank you for the suggestions. I hope you’re enjoying your sock knitting. Thank you! 🤎
Hardie Grant Publishing imprints Laine books after a period of time at half the cost and available in everyday books shops. We share similar interests and read the same books. Thank you for keeping me company. I am currently in rural Victoria near Melbourne Australia cross country skiing. ❤
I think that’s sadly only in Australia. There are some Laine Publishing titles that have been picked up by a publisher here in the US but only a small handful of them, mostly the 52 weeks of … series. Ahhh cross country skiing, one of my favorite activities. I would agree that we have similar interests ☺️ thanks for saying hi.
Excited for the dress! I listened to the song and it made me lolllllllll. Sounds country-ish but then she's super blunt about how she feels. I'm going to check out one of the books 😊
I'm so happy you like the idea! Haha I completely agree. Her background is definitely country but this album was more folky. Her song writing also catches me off guard lol. I hope you enjoy it, I know they're probably not for everyone but I really enjoyed. Thanks for saying hi!
The finished socks 🧶👌. Popped Deeper Well on Spotify so will give it a listen. Hubby reads fantasy me, I’m reading classics currently as never read them 😮. I’m a 70s girl so Genesis, Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd feature highly. My 2 daughters used to keep us current when they were at home lol 😂. You seemed so happy and relaxed today thank you for sharing and great news on your subscribers reaching 1000. Weather here sun and cold winds 🫣
Oh I'm happy you like them! It was a really fun and nice pattern. You'll see as this goes on how eclectic my music taste is. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band of all time! It finally cooled down a little here today, so I'm happy about that. Nice to see you again :)
@@caprinecottage is your music taste from your mum? Wish I had seen Led Zeppelin live. Look forward to your next episode 🎶
I would say partially yes. Maybe both of my parents? But not the Zeppelin haha. That I found on my own as a teenager (a close friend showed them to me) and it blew my mind. As time goes on there have been so many people and different influencers that it can be hard to pin down where it all comes from. I love the ease of finding and accessing music now with the availability of everything on the internet. Before that it was so much harder with just the radio or word of mouth. ☺️☺️ Nice to chat.
Omg you also love the Baldree books!! They've been some of my favourites lately!
It's so cold in Australia now so I'm casting on some mittens that I'm making with absolutely no pattern, just vibes
I loved them so much! So cozy and homey feeling.
Your mittens sound so fun! Stay warm!
I also mentioned Paul Stamets in one of my podcasts but also forgot his name and had to add it in later! 🍄
It’s funny how things just vanish from your mind when the camera is on. 🙃
Love Paul Stamets though 🍄😻🍄
Nice! Congrats on the 1K subs! 🎉 I was knitting my first ever piece in the round, on DPNs, with increase and decreases. I had to pause the video on every increase. 😂. Those books have been on my TBR for a while.
Aww thanks so much! I totally relate to this. Whenever I'm watching a knitting podcast I have to pause it when I get to a more complicated place in my pattern so I don't make a mistake haha. I wasn't expecting to like them as much as I did. A truly pleasant surprise. Happy knitting! :)
I am SO excited to see how this Shetland’s landscape inspired dress knits up! This idea is truly amazing! 😍 Congratulations for your 1000 subscribers! I’m glad I’ve found your channel. ☺️
That makes me so happy! I've been slowly trying to formulate this idea for a while. I knew I wanted to make something with that color palette but wasn't sure what project and then these yarns just sort of came together! Thank you!
Judi Dench did a documentary about trees and there below ground connections. Beautiful. Love your knits. What pattern are you using for the dress? thank you !
Oh I'll have to watch that I love her! The pattern for the dress is the Cloudbow Dress by Reed Keyes (I missed that one in the description, sorry about that) Thanks for saying hi! :)
Loved your video and the colour inspiration from the Scottish waters are just beautiful 😊
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it. I've been dreaming of something in this color palette for a while now. :)
Congrats on 1000 subscriber milestone🎉🎉. Enjoyed the podcast! I’m recovering from elbow surgery so knitting is on hold for now.
Thank you so much! I think I'm still in shock that anyone cares what I have to say haha! I hope you're healing up well
I was finishing up a sock leg while watching! Love fantasy (my favourite genre) - passed up a free copy of Legends & Lattes a while ago (oops!). Off to check out Kacey Musgraves!
ETA: That music gave me goosebumps (Deeper Well)!! I'll be listening to more!
I hope you're enjoying your sock knitting :) Haha maybe it will find its way back to you. It's definitely not traditional fantasy but I loved them so much! I'm so happy you liked the song. It caught my attention when I first heard it and I had to find out more. Thanks for stopping by and saying hello :)
These are the nicest wooden sock blockers I know of foxyfibers.nl/products/sockblockers-beursvoorraad/ Really thick and high quality wood, made by hand from solid mansonia wood. The design is also really clever; you can block two different sized socks one either end of the blocker.
There are glove blockers too spintol.nl/product/massief-houten-wantenblockers-per-stuk/
I hope you can understand the site with google translate or something like that.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! These are beautiful! 😍
I also like Cosy Fantasy. I went through some challenging health issues and these books totally hit the mark.
Do you have any other cozy fantasy books you'd recommend? I'm sort of new to the genre even though I've been reading fantasy for years. Thanks for stopping by to say hi. :)
@@caprinecottage I loved wildwood dancing series. I listened to all 6 books during a difficult health time. Totally loved how light and charming. Also enjoyed the fourth wing. I’m fairly new to this genre too. I was introduced by Edible thoughts makes podcast.
Hi Anne! I just found your account this week and am loving your videos! I think I only live a couple hours from you....places you mention are familiar and I drive through your area when headed to Rhinebeck! Loving all your projects and looking forward to your future videos!! 😊
Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm so happy you're enjoying them. Nice to see a fellow New Yorker lol
Congrats on 1000. I’m watching in Seattle where we are only dreaming of hot weather it’s been a very cool spring ….. I love hearing about reading, music etc . Even if it’s not my thing it’s always welcome .
Thank you! I still can barely believe it! We've had a pretty unseasonably warm spring over her on the east coast. I love to hear that! I too am always up to check out something new even if I don't end up liking it myself. :)
I was listening to this while crocheting an amigurumi of one of my D&D Druid’s familiars! Do you play D&D? If so, I’d love to hear about your character/s! The amigurumi I’m working on at the moment is a small peryton 😊
Aww this sounds so cute! I don't play D&D/TTRPGS anymore because I can't really find a game/don't have very much time. But years ago I used to play in a weekly GURPS game any my character was a tiny pixie! lol It was a lot of fun. Thanks for stopping by! I hope your little friend turns out nicely.
