- You had a lot of questions this month, and I have answers about it! Please leave a comment about what you're doing while you watch or listen, what you're working on, or what's going on in your world! Have a great week too. Thanks, I love you. Bye!
Love the whole spinning process-including processing from raw, dyeing, all of it. Spindle and wheel. It's all good for me. 😅
Great Q&A video. Making cloth fascinates me because doing so is about the most human activity I can do. I’m even interested in learning about artifacts found within archaeological sites that have textiles or the tools used. Love that nerdy stuff.
When you make something, it becomes unique unto itself, and it gives me such pleasure to have something I have made. I also get a wonderful memory of how I made it every time I use it. I am so inspired by your creativeness! Keep it coming! ❤
Pssst. You are NOT alone on the granny square thing. Shhhhhhhh.
I enjoy it when you’re rambling, makes me smile. Like you’re hair as well.
My sister made that same comment when I told her I was going to weave dish towels; that I had found cotton warp for only $15.00. She said, Nancy, you could buy a whole stack at dollar general for less than that. I gave her one of my handwoven towels. I don’t know if that answered her question. Love your Sad Flower analogy!
While I watched I was sewing sequins on a gift for my granddaughter. It is very satisfying for me to use up things, and I used up some sequins and beads that had been in my stash for 45 years! 😆
Yay for embroidery machines! I think I've embroidered on nearly every t-shirt I have - well at least until I got side tracked with knitting and spinning lol! I can't imagine my life without being a 'maker'. Gives me such joy. I'll likely never be an artist who paints or draws (have tried) but I never know what I will get the urge to take up next! And yes, granny squares are not my thing!
Really like how you present information with a down to earth manner. Can't subscribe due to finances, but will seek you out here! Thanks Trish.
The q&a videos are some of my favorite and I watch them through multiple times. I always pick up another little gem of information, like using a bigger size for colorwork socks.
I love this - when I wove my first dish towels someone said to me they hoped it never got so bad they had to make their own dish towels- I laughed because this person definitely did not get IT!! It’s a fiber tribe thing 😂😂
I love hearing your talk about you & John. It is so great to see how you appreciate one another. Supercute!
Hey Trish, I just had to say I’m glad you re told the story about how you met your husband because I never heard it the first time. That has got to be the best happy story I’ve heard in a very long time. Thanks again.
Great video again, Trish …thank you😊 I was spinning a batt I carded yesterday, while I watched/listened. I loved hearing how you met John❤️🥰
You asked what we are doing while watching. I’m sitting in my car working on my Westknits MKAL while my kids are having a ballroom lesson.
“I am not very good about housework.” Me too, sister, me too! 🤣
I've not heard the "how we met story". Seeing you in videos together, you were definitely made for each other. Congrats.
Loved your story. So wonderful. I am watching while picking up my darn spindle from the floor...over and over...while muttering patience practice patience practice dammit patience...
Love love love your meeting John story. It made me smile that you lit up so much while relaying it. All your advice is wonderful and your experiences are always so thoughtful. Thanks for being you 🙂
I love the idea of adding sari silk to Sydney's fleece and leave the color as it is. Thanks for the idea!
Now I'll have the Swedish Chef voice playing in my head during all the dyeing videos! 😂
OMG! Swedish Chef style!! YES!! That’s me too. I’m laughing so hard. I loved that comment. 🤣
That was so cute! ❤I have the biggest smile on my face after hearing about you two lovebirds 😊
Cute meeting John story! Always fun to watch, I'm just knitting up a handspun scarf while watching - first Christmas present for the year!
Great q&a!! I agree with your artistic approach to fiber, it's how I see it too. And I've never been good enough at following recipes to get anything to come out exactly the same way twice. The Swedish Chef is a great way to put it!! Love your love story, he told it in the first dyeing video he did ages ago, but it's cute to hear both sides of it. Congratulations on 17 & 19 years!!!!!
Hi Trish, I have watched this video (Your Questions about Dyeing Wool, Spinning Laceweight, Buttons, Sweaters, My Yarn Swift and more!) a few times because, well to be honest, I forget your answers to the questions. any way, you were explaining how to lower twist when spinning. This was very helpful to me, so thanks.
I do have a Q about bobbins. In your 5th or 6th video on "beginning spinning" you talked about how to load a bobbin on the flyer and how to place the drive band onto the bobbin and whorl. You mentioned that a bobbin (most of the time) has a small end and a large end. I am wondering what the large end of bobbin would be used for, why it is there in the first place, if it would never be used? that was a long way around my Q, huh? sorry ;~} thanks a bunch.
It depends on your wheel and bobbins. But in the bobbins I was showing, I can spin them around and use the larger end with a bigger whorl to spin much slower, which is nice for a thicker yarn
That Swedish Chef bit made me laugh so loud. OMG.
In place of the mylar sheets, I have started using slats from blinds. Venetian blinds? Anyway. I was able to get two full boxes of them off of Facebook marketplace for like 10 bucks.
I totally went into a golden girls flashback when he started telling the story of you and John meeting. “Picture it….Sicily….1910….” I love hearing those kinds of stories, injures was great. There are so many parallels between yours and John’s and me and Dan’s, it’s really funny.
Happy happy anniversary!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love that you do Q&A videos! Thanks!!
I'm with you on the granny square thing, honestly, I usually only like crochet lace. When I asked about the carders, I just meant, are you able to get them really clean? But thank you for being my enabler. "An expert said I needed a new one, not used." This will be my excuse. ;) Continue enabling and informing, you are the best.
Awwwwwwh I loved hearing about how you and John met, you glowed while telling it! And I understand your sentiments about granny squares....so many garments made with them too it seems like they are everywhere haha. I am planning on making some muted ones with a cotton chenille yarn into an afghan for my son because he wants one and I am hoping it goes by fast because it is certainly not a passion project...the yarn is lovely though!
These Q&As are great to listen to whilst puttering around...today I am working on a Sophie's Universe afghan to auction off this year at xmas time
I think we ARE from the same long ago genetic pool! I HATE granny squares too! Same with the color red, but that is my moms favorite color, so since I love my mom, I make stuff in red for her and hate it the whole time. I also have to try all the things instead of buying them. And, thrive to be unique. I like the way I am, how boring would life be if we were all the same! Love your energy and appreciate you and the time you spend making videos. 💜
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Love the story of you meeting John.
Your hair looks gorgeous dear! STILL socking, lol. Just got my wheel out because I miss it! Love all the Q & A. I promise I won't stop watching RUclips, lol. I remind myself all the time that you do this full time so I don't need to "catch up". I want to do ALL THE THINGS!!!!! Thanks for being you! OMG that story of how you met is literally the best!
Finally found myself a pattern for socks that fit my big heeled, little feet so I am knitting up socks like crazy trying to get several pairs of them finished before I get into sweater knitting mode.
I watch when ever I can. Such a cute love story!❤️
You are just so cute! Well I am spinning Merino on my Ashford traditional while I watch. 😊 oh my gosh I love making granny squares! I have them at all my pockets.
That is such a sweet love story, ❤❤. I bought the Clemes & Clemes Elite Convertable Drum Carder, but I didn’t get it electric. Figured if I wanted to go that route I could get the motor later. The way they made it I dont need two drums for different fineness of fiber, and the tines are longer so it holds more fiber. I have enjoyed it so far.
Thanks for sharing the John story I love it! And happy early anniversary!
Instead of Mylar you can go to the fabric store and buy some of that plastic table cover and trim it to the width of your loom. It works great. I bought the thinnest one and it doesn’t rip or kink up.
Hi Trish, I am weaving some towels while I watch
OMG hearing your story about how you and John (Jon?) met is so special and amazing! I love it so much
So loved the story about how you and John met and got together 💞
I knit some on a sleeve while watching today.
Great information! And enjoyed this time spent with you as usual while I worked on knitting a hat.
The sock you are knitting is beautiful.
Oh my goodness I love love love your love story! 🥰💜❤️thank you for sharing!! You were glowing💕
Love Q and A.. You always put a smile on my face......Thank You
Awww! I love a good love story! My husband and I have one of those didn't-see-it-coming stories too. We've been married 22 years!
I love your podcast…I’ve been binge watching them and you are so inspirational and informative. The breed study was so cool, I had to order some sample sets to try out. Thank you so much for all you do❤
We are all writing our own fiber love diaries!
Ohh so fun!! Iv made drop spindles out of that clay! So fun and very usable!
Such a sweet story about you and John 💖. I am also not the biggest fan of granny squares - at least the random kind. Some of the more planned patterns can be pretty. I have always thought the lanterns pattern was pretty though.
Thank you. That was very informative. I even made notes 😄
Thank you for your questions and answers.I have dyed some Dorset horn in a red and purple.ready to spin when away on holiday. Yes I hate housework too. But since we both retired and have more time for our hobbies.
I’m making shortie socks for myself 😊 needed a sock break after SWC, it feels good to be back
Hi Trish, i was knitting on a Christmas Baby sweater during your podcast. I’m working on the second sleeve. Nice story on how you met John. Sounds like you are the perfect couple❤️
I hate when I watch and write and then what I click something somewhere and it disappears...yeah, happened again LOL. I had to come back later and type again. I totally didn't think he was gonna go get the toy LOL. Loved the chef insert. I bet minis and a solid with the Murano Squares scarf would work well. The batts I scored from your shop were gradients.
I’m loving the videos! Super interested in the dyeing!
Hi Trish. To answer what I’m doing while I watch I’m spinning some lace weight cashmere on a support spindle and occasionally swearing when I drop it. 😁
I'm falling over laughing at the thought that you became friends with John because you could wear heals to a wedding with him! ROFLMAO. I know that's not it, but that part is just so funny!
I can’t wait for retirement! I will be able to do soooo much!
I worked on peeling and slicing apples to make dehydrated apple chips! 🍎
Love the story of how you and your husband met.
Love your videos! Love you, too!
I am learning so much and also enjoying myself so much 😜love your videos 💕
❤ nice to know there are options
I should be doing my homework while watching this video but I am instead laying in bed sick
Haha. This morning I am spinning (not a spinning wheel, on a bike trainer). Getting my PT done.
Love the story of how you got together with your sweetheart.
Knitting a drop stitch scarf while baking biscotti
Omg your love story is too cute and my relationship with my hubby came together was also because of a "Mark"!😂 About the same time period....but for us it was 2002....😅 Love the video....have a great day!!!!
Thanks for sharing your story that was really lovely
I’m knitting a dishcloth from handspun linen.
I LOVE that your dyes are always unique. It really is ART. 🥰
I am spinning on our PF wool. It's so soft!
knit while watching you
I am getting ready to go play the hRp for memory care. I am working on my fist sweater. Wish me luck.
Knitting on a sweater for my daughter with Rauma Vams. Nice soft and squishy. And on the side I’m washing a fleece of Nederlands Bont schaap which I want to prepare for spinning.
While I am watching this video, I’m knitting my Ranunculus for the #fallintoranunculuskal2023 by the fruitful hands ❤
I like your answer about making our own things. I M in love with weVing spinning. Once they get one of my towels they are well pleSed
I totally forgot to order the shirt, hopefully later tonight I will see if they are still there.
my friends don't undestand why i make things so i joined a knitting and spinning group to be around my crafty people
I’m in carpool knitting my mittens!
I am currently winding that gorgeous green fluff you sent me into a center pull ball so I can make fingerless mitts! Googly shirt has to wait for weekend, it's messy and I want my kitchen back. lol
i very much understand wanting to express your own... things. i agree. we all share a gene...
i check in from the side lines to this group. you add a sweet side to my fiber life
from Gerry- I am sewing curtains for my son. I have to take breaks so I've dyed some clothesline and am making rope bowls in between the curtain work. What a beautiful story of your journey with John! I, too, have a second marriage story. Wasn't looking but so glad it happened- 20 years in November. Keep smiling and be blessed.
You two are so adorable! I enjoy seeing you guys together on your videos ❤
I am from the Fraser valley in BC Canada and are very lucky to have hummingbirds all year round 🥰
I do have a question though, I know you said this on a video but I can’t find it. I hat do you use for moths in your house. I have started to notice those little flying wool rating trouble makers in my house 😂 I need to fix it pronto.
Thank you as always!
When my husband and I first got married we lived in an apartment right on the Muskingum River in marietta ohio🥰
Love your history!❤
Question asker: RULE #1 always add the acid the the water and not the other way around, or BOOM. Except lemon and reg. vinegar,, they're usually not that angry.
Your work is art!
Oregon woodworker has good swifts comparable to the one Trish has. I have one that has a counter on it so I don't have to count the rounds.. It's awesome, I love it.
Hello Tribe!
Super video! Loved the Muppet chef moment😂 What a wonderful love story you and John share. ❤️😊-Tami
Who is Sydney? When you were doing your sock study you showed a pattern that was blue and white. It looked like the blue willow pattern. Did you ever knit them? I loved your button video. I will be watching it again because I want to make buttons. How about using a tiny stirring straw to cut out a tiny circle for the button holes?
lol. I just had an ah-ha moment when you were describing yarn weights --- I never put it together that DK meant Double Knit. And I would always wonder what weight Double Knit yarn was when I would watch other vids. Oy vey!!😂🤣
I grew up in the '60s, and I was traumatized by granny squares.
Lol…
I was outlining all the steps in processing raw fibre to yarn to my daughter’s friend.
The look on her face said it all……. “WHY” ???
(we know why ☺️☺️)
i'm sitting here, tatting lace instead of buying lace ribbons, listening to Trish talk about the absolute need to make her own buttons thinking "yeah, there's gotta be some mutant gene here"
I’m spinning misc. balls of wool I processed but didn’t tag. Definitively why I’m supposed to label things…..☺️🤪😂
Don't know if I might missed it, did you get your patterns from Raverly?
