มุมมอง 614ปีที่แล้ว
Welcome to my channel! This is the first episode featuring my recently finished objects - a shawl and socks from Westknits and a pair of socks featuring Nomadic Knits yarn. I also share a recent yarny acquisition as well as some treat myself progress keepers. You can also spend some time sitting and knitting with me and my puppers! The format is a more traditional knitting podcast with a mix of...

Makers and Muses Ep1: Knitting a Good Yarn Podcast, Nutiden Yarn, and the Magnolia Sweater
มุมมอง 2.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Welcome to my new channel! This is episode 1 of what I plan to be a series exploring the human experience of creativity, inspiration and the muses. In this episode of Makers and Muses I look at the way inspiration travels between knitters and the way it influences our makes through my love of the Knitting a Good Yarn Podcast, the sweaters Jackie and Carmen make, and my exploration of the new to...
I see you’re just a baby podcaster, and I just found your show. Keep it up. I love your introspection on your projects, your honesty about your emotional growth, and your ability to laugh at yourself. I’ll keep watching to see more. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lol yeah I’m obsessed with Nutiden as well and I live in Florida! How disastrous is that? I got so obsessed that I’ve even started but the fiber batts and spinning it up on drip spindles to make socks and whatnot (small stuff). I still love the colorful silk/wool stuff too but working with Nutiden is an experience like no other. So tactile. ❤
I love that sweater!
LOVE seeing your Stephen West shawls!
Thank you Jeri! ❤️
Thats so good
Cute
I'm using some linen quill in my geogradient too! I've made other shawls with it and it's fabulous for shawls. I'm sure you're going to love it and your colors are beautiful! I need that dark iris color. This is my first MKAL, I'm excited!
Woohoo!!! So grateful for your feedback on the Linen Quill. I’m sure you saw my face when I realized the alpaca content literally right after talking about my disappointment with alpaca in last years shawl 😬😂😂 Thrilled to hear I shouldn’t expect an issue. The iris is really pretty - it’s complex like all of their colors and hard to describe or capture. I hope you really love the MKAL!!!!
I love nutiden. I was in a no-buy year but took a chance and bought some. So glad i did. It is soft and i have purchased some three times this year. I will be adding my plutoloppi as color work so that it can use it up as the plutoloppi is not next to skin soft for a whole sweater but the nutiden is. Glad i discovered it.
Thank you for the comment on plutoloppi! I recently was tempted by some but bought some more Nutiden instead. I really want to make a shawl after seeing all the gorgeous creations Jackie and Carmen have made on Knitting a Good Yarn!
I actually almost didn't watch your episode, because I love Nutiden and thought I didn't want to watch someone trash talk the yarn. I scrolled by a couple of times (click bait almost backfired LOL). But then I thought I'd like to know why you didn't like Nutiden. So here I am! I also love Jackie's version of the Magnoloa Bloom. I'm not in favor of 12 sts/4", too easy to snag, and with Nutiden, it would probably break. I also like the idea of adding Mohair/silk. Jazz it up a bit. Loretta of Knit My Way Home podcast said she'll use mohair/silk with Nutiden in her next Magnolia Bloom. I love how your yarn colours are playing together, and look forward to your next podcast!
I’m so glad you joined! I appreciate your comments. I realized this week I can’t knit with Nutiden while my dogs are around. Constant catching and breaking 😂 I am still adoring the experience and absolutely in love with my sweater. Can’t wait to make more with Nutiden! I’m craving a shawl.
Again I loved this! All of it! Haha and does our pod count as “doggy tv”? 😅
Hahahha 100%!!!! Doggy inception
Loved this! So off-the-cuff and genuine!
THANK YOU Carmen!!! I’m definitely getting more comfortable! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg I loved every minute of this episode! Thank you so much for the beautiful words about not just our podcast but our friendship too! And I am sooooo happy you’ve fallen down the Nutiden rabbit hole and cannot wait to see how your mag bloom turns out and whether you end up doing the fields of gold in that gorgeous yellow! So good! And I’m def subscribed so that I don’t miss any future episodes! Bravo!!!
Awwww Carmen! Thank you so much!!! I’m finding it’s so connected to the ebbs and flows of my energy. I’ve had to modify my expectations on output to respect that! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your podcast. I hope you post new episodes often!
Thank you SO MUCH Jeri! Hope we get to sit and knit together someday!!! Maybe I need to plan a weekend in central Illinois with a yarn crawl and knitting with you all ❤️❤️❤️
I would love that so much!
Hi Jennifer! Your shawl is stunning. I am making the Botanic Shawl and the moment but would like to try one of Stephen Wests more difficult patterns next. Best wishes from a Canadian knitting podcaster!
Thank you so much! I’ll definitely be creating a look back at my last three WestKnits MKAL shawls and colors for this upcoming one. I’d love to learn brioche and tackle one of his amazing brioche creations! I’d also love to do a Penguono… So many knits, not enough time!
I have not done Brioche either but hope too in the future. Yes, my to do list is longer than the time I have. Hard to fit it all in.
Is Nutiden the same as roving? I think it might be. I knitted an Elizabeth Zimmerman vest with roving and your description brings me back to that.
Yes it’s like pencil roving!
Such interesting knitting and such interesting travel.
Thank you!!!!
I’m sorry glad to have found your channel! I’m looking forward to going back to catch up with the other episodes.
Thank you Jane! You’re so thoughtful to add a note ❤️❤️❤️
cute doggies!!!!!
MMMM...I love the Nutiden with the mohair! I've been wanting to use my cones of mohair with some of my Plutolopi one of these days.
Plutolopi is definitely on my list of fibers to try! I’ve knit a sweater with Lettlopi but I hear plutolopi is softer?
@@Jennifer.Knits6 I think it's softer, that said I knit the Daytripper cardigan with the main colour being plutolopi and the colourwork in a variety of Lettlopi. I did end up buying nearly a suitcase full when we were in Iceland in Summer 2021, a skein or two at every grocery store and piles and piles of pluttlopi from the Icelandic Knitting Association in Reykjavik. I knit 2 of those cardigans and a sweater before Winter that year, and since then have knit several pairs of socks and hats from that stash. I shared some with my advent swap buddies and I STILL have enough to knit another 3-4 sweaters, etc.
Do you have an accurate pattern for old shale? Most are misprinted by they feel they can't contradict I belive its elizabeth Zimmerman, but I have issues with names but a very prolific writer who my mom had spoken to a couple of times and she died en transit a year ago and I lost all of her stuff and charts and tools and stuff and I really would love to get that pattern to work specifically. Could you send it with a photo of the swatch? My mom would work the fleagle on it, for her it was a curse word 😂 sorry for bothering you, but felt like you would probably help me out
Hmmmmm I wonder if maybe you're thinking of Barbara Walker. Old Shale (or feather and fan) is a stitch pattern from her stitch book dictionary, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. There is a good link to more information about it here! www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/a-treasury-of-knitting-patterns I no longer have the book, but I hope that helps get you in the right direction!
Wow you tube just popped up your video. I see we are both new. So I am here to support. I just subscribed 😊
Thank you so much!!! I will check you out also. Appreciate it! ❤️
Welcome to the podcasting world. Loved your episode! I have not tried nutiden yet but love plotulopi. Best wishes from a Canadian podcaster!
Thank you so much!!! I’ll have to check out yours! ❤️❤️❤️
🥰
So enjoyed your podcast, Nutiden is awesome. Nothing like it your sweater looks so squishy
Thank you SO MUCH!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You just reminded me to pull it out and give it more love this week.
