Love knitting sweaters and prefer fingering and DK weight yarn for sweaters.
What a great idea for a fundraiser! When my grandchildren were young every birthday and Christmas included a book, happy to report as adults they are all readers.
I love to knit sport or DK weight sweater and keep waiting for a friend to maybe knit me a fingering weight sweater.
Ha, ha, I hope that friend comes forward soon!
Love make alongs,darcy,
Makes me more motivated,,,🎉
Love ur new hat,,,
Take care
Elaine💗🏡
I love having you participate Elaine! Thanks for watching!!!
Hi Darcy, I do love knit along bc having a deadline helps me finish projects. I have knit some sweaters but living in GA, I have found that cardigans (all weights) are most useful for me.
I still need to add at least 3 pairs of socks to the group!!
Looking forward to seeing the wrap and the mystery shawl!
I agree with you Susan, cardigans are so useful. I know you have knit a lot of kid sweaters this year!! What number are you up to? Oh, please get your socks in the group, we just might make 100! Thanks for watching!
Hi Darcy…. I love make alongs. Having one that also benefits a great cause would be wonderful! I’m finishing up one more pairs of socks before the end of camp. I’ve knit many sweaters. I wear more summer sweaters if they’re in fingering weight and more in the fall/winter made in DK weight. Thanks for another lovely episode!
Thank you for watching friend!
Hi Darcy! I do love make alongs because I enjoy the comraderie of making things with a group. It’s so fun talking about it with others in the group. I like making finger weight sweaters, but DK is my second choice. Also, fantastic idea for the fundraiser, I’m in it for sure! Have a great week
Yeah! I am excited to hear you love the mal ideas! Thanks for watching Heidi!!
Watched your podcast on Wednesday, got an email that same day that our Library here in Pekin, IL, is now a part of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. How cool is that!!
Awesome!!!!
MKAL any time! And the ear warmers MKAL in October would be awesome, I love making hats for the schools here through Mittens from Masons, and as soon as I saw your hat and the top finish I thought Galactica!
I love it!!
I’m looking forward to your new hat pattern!
The only sweaters I manage to complete are baby ones. I usually frog mine before getting too far. Maybe this winter .
I hope you have luck on a sweater soon.
Maybe “Bounce” for your hat name?
I love that name!!!
Hi Darcy! I am more likely to participate in a knit-along if it is a project I already planned to make, and/or if I would be knitting along with people I’ve met in person. I’m least likely to participate if I would need to buy more than 3 skeins of yarn for it.
My favorite weight to knit a sweater is DK, but my favorite weight to wear is fingering… maybe Sport weight is my sweet spot. 😅
Sport weight is a good thought. I think I have a sweater's worth of sport. I may give it a try this fall.
Hi Darcy, I have never joined a knit-along. I think about it often and should really give one a try, I don't do well with deadline knitting. I have knit two sweater for myself, and rarely wear either one. A Wonderful Wallaby and an Ankers Summer Sweater. When my grandchildren were younger, I knit many sweaters for them. Thank you for sharing :)
Hello Candee, Maybe the Warm Ears MAL can be your first kal. Hats are small projects and there will be loads of time to complete your project. Thank you for watching!!
@@chitchatknits I think I will join in, thank you for the encouragement :)
I like kals though sometimes I have a hard time remembering to check in. I would love to do a hat KAL, I was just thinking this morning that I’d like to make more hats. I only make one or maybe two sweaters a year. I’ve only used dk or worsted weight. I’m finishing up the first sock of my second pair for summer sock camp but I know I won’t get the second one done by 8/31. So I did one and a half pairs and I guess I’m happy with that. I’m not a huge sock knitter anymore (I used to be). I think I answered all your questions!
I am so happy you are looking forward to the hat kal, soon!
Darcy well questions answered 1. Love make alongs. 2. Name of hat bumpy air circle hat.3. Warm ears mal sounds great. Would do yes yes yes. Also my favourite yarns I’d dk ,worsted and fingering weight. But I would like to use dk or worsted because I always have to go down in needle size. So for dk I use 3 to 3.50 mm and fingering use 2.50 to 2.75 mm needles. Worsted use 3.50 to 4 mm needles
Yeah, I am so glad you enjoy mals, I really do too. They are motivating and fun. Thanks for the hat name suggestion; it is a fun name. It is great to get to a point in our knitting where we know ourselves, and can make those adjustments. I have a sweater project ahead for my niece and I am debating on the needle size to use.
L'hiver is the French word for winter. The H is not pronounced in french so the word would sound like Leevair ,if it was spelled phonetically. I'm sure I didn't write the phonetic translation correctly but that is the way the word sounds, at least to Canadian French speakers anyway.
Oh boy, I shouldn't even try. Thank you for the help!!
