    Scott - What to make with that cashmere yarn?!
    John - A crochet baby or lap blanket will go quick and give you enough of an intro to decide if it is something you wish to do again.
    Till next time. ☺💛

    Loved hearing you say Uffda (Norwegian here 😄)! I always thought of Nanny McPhee’s «make over» as a way of showing how you start to see the inner beauty when you learn to know and love someone. Btw, the second film is not just the same story with a new cast and in a new era. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s husband (in the movie) is away in the war and she has to cope with the kids and the farm. I really enjoy both the films, but I suppose they’re not everone’s cup of tea ☺️. Thanks for another great episode!

    I think Red Skelton portrayed a bum/hobo character. My dad used to love watching him, so I remember him from my childhood. If you want to try some different dish cloths, Kjosen Day (I think that's his name) on Ravelry has a group of 5 that were a change from the usual square. Love the yarn acquisition. Would love to visit that shop. See you next time.

  • @girlwalkswithgoats

    When alternating colors flat you can have one skein at each side that you pick up and knit across.

  • @anotherpace
    @anotherpace 3 года назад +2

    you can alternate the yarn when you are knitting flat by knitting one row on the right side with C1, then start again at the same side (right side) and knit one row on the right side with C2. Then you purl across the wrong side with C1, then go back to the beginning of the wrong side and purl across with C2. It's a bit more complex to keep track of shaping rows and having the correct leans for increases/decreases, but completely doable.

  • @alcibiadesz

    Hey Scott, the socks look great -nice colors. I too have a number of single skeins of fingering weight. I’ve just discovered holding it with mohair to make really warm/lightweight hats -KnitPicks has good prices for mohair. John, The Montrealer Hoodie looks great -the pop of orange brightens it up! I’m chuckling to myself cuz just before John started saying, “Every Good Boy...” I said, “we gotta come up with a mnemonic device to help Scott” and started LFSDWA (Look For Schitt’s Creek Diva’s Wig Accessories).

  • @jennifersf_sf
    @jennifersf_sf 3 года назад +2

    John, you can alternate skeins every 2 rows (knit & purl back) and then you carry your yarn up the side and that should be hidden in the side seam. I think that's standard for alternating skeins when you knit flat.

    You can alternate every row when knitting flat by knitting with 3 cakes at the same time. Knit to the end of your first row with cake one , join cake two knit back to your starting end and then join cake three. Best of luck!

  • @Indigo_in_green
    @Indigo_in_green 3 года назад +1

    John: A way to only get one row of each ball when you are knitting flat is to knit like you would do a two colored briosh on a round needle: First knitt one row with one colour/ball, go back to the begining where you started and do the same with the other ball. Now you will have both balls at the same side. Then you just do the same all over again. Swithch to the first ball and knit over. Then go back and knit with the second ball over to the first ball. Thus alternating one row at the time.

    Red Skelton did the hobo character on his own show that was on TV after I had to go to bed when I was about 7 years old. Ticked me off because I loved him - I would lie awake and listen. Problem is a lot of his sketches were without dialogue so I would giggle when i heard the laugh track with no clue what i was laughing at.

Searching for the shark version lead me to the company Fluf, us.fluf.ca/collections/lunch-bags. Digging around for "fluf lunch bag red cross" got me to said bag on www.inktandco.com/products/cute-nurse-lunch-bag.

    I thought the "less than traditional" look of Nanny McPhee was about how horrible the kids were, as they understood how to be better citizens and people, she looked better to them. A visible representation of what parenting theorists say, "kids want to have boundaries and discipline."

  • @WendyBarron14
    @WendyBarron14 3 года назад +1

    Nanny McPhee's appearance changes according to how the children perceive her, doesn't it? They don't want her there and are rebellious and hateful to start, and as they start to like her, she looks different because they see her differently. (Ugly=evil/beautiful=good is a classic story trope.) That's what I understood from seeing the movie once. Same with Aunt Adelaide's wonky nose, in all likelihood.

    Take a look at Max Miller’s Tasting History RUclips channel.... he makes mead 😽 and other fascinating historical recipes, garnished with humour and a generous serving of history, you’ll thank me 🌈

      I love Max Miller! I don't remember him making mead, but I binge watched them one after the other so they all blur together :)

    The way Nanny McPhee looks is a reflection of the children’s behavior. When they behave badly, she looks bad. As their behavior gets better, she looks better.

    Looks more like sherbet instead of over the rainbow

    Maybe over the rainbow means they've had enough of rainbows,

    My dudes, if you want to do some crochet, hit up Mikey over at The Crochet Crowd on RUclips and FBook.

      Thanks for the recommendation! I think I've watched him before and I'm subscribed but I'll have to check.
