Your yarn is beautiful! Also love the book recommendation, I’m going to try it next. As far as starting walking with your dominant foot, this winter I broke 3 toes and messed up muscles and tissues in my right leg. I have had to stop and think before I do steps, etc. because I would always have started with my right foot and now can’t. A learning curve for sure.
Hi, Kay and Dan! Rhubarb is for summer pies here in California. And Kay, you need to check out the Stanwood ball winder…by far the best tool I have ever purchased. Zero fussing.
Just catching up on episodes… Kay, I personally think Opal and Regia etc design their sock yarns based on a 64 st sized sock and therefore if you deviate from that, you get somewhat interesting results. I tend to use them on a 64 sts for me, but when I’ve knitted them for hubby (72st) or for my smaller footed friends, (56 sts) then the jacquard/ print type yarns (as opposed to just a stripe) always look different to mine. Personally, I liked the look of the ugly socks 😆🤎
As soon as your podcast was over I went to Audible and down loaded One for the blackbird and One foe the Crow and I just want to tell you how much I'm enjoying that listen. Thank you for your great show.
Rhubarb is usually a spring/early summer crop, but I've read there are varieties that have two harvests. I wonder if that's what you're seeing in Autumn? Mine only has one harvest. It's done by June and dies off in the Autumn.
Since the Prairie Socks pattern is still my favorite pattern, It will be a joy to knit a shorty pair or two!! Thanks for the heads up with the eye of partridge heel. I have noticed the difference in my success with it and now I know why. You are why I gravitate to your patterns Kay!

My daughter picked up cross stitch about 1 month after I gave all of my supplies to a friend. Tried to teach crochet to her and it was a no go! Rhubarb is generally harvested in Canada in the spring. I've read to avoid harvesting more than 1 third of the plant in any season and not after a frost. The frost causes the oxalic acid to move from the leaves to the stalks apparently.
I love the colors you chose for your Reading Shawl! There is nothing like having your daughter pick up a craft you do and run with it! My favorite weight is the 80 - 20 especially with the high twist! Those are gorgeous socks!

I live in southern Indiana. I get my undyed yarn from them as well - bradford, i believe, is where it comes from. When i place an order, i have the yarn TWO BUSINESS DAYS LATER! IN FACT, I placed an order one friday and had it in my hot little hands the next monday! I LOVE THEM! Having double checked, the business is called A C WOOD
Kay you are a dying magician!! That yarn is sooo beautiful and so cool that it reflects One for the Blackbird One for the Crow that you so love : ) And Dan, that hat you knitted for your mum is so lovely She's a blessed lady : ) Happy Easter - He is Risen!!
Rhubarb in mid Atlantic states US can be cut early May, sometimes late April. Personally I don’t care for it due to the sweetness required in recipes. Over sweet to me. Love your podcasts. Especially love the history walks! Thank you!
I’m so excited for the latest yarny book club! I literally finished the book The Ghost yesterday. I loved it. I read the whole book in two days. As I was finishing it I thought oh I hope the next book recommendation comes out soon.
I can't tell you how much I love your episodes! I've just found your channel and I'm thrilled! I've been in search of the Quantock Hat pattern and the yarn that Dan used and I'm not having any luck finding the pattern on Ravelry or which yarn he used. Would you be able to give me some specifics? Thank you so much!
It's a Klingon Bird of Prey and a Romulan Warbird. I think you were talking about the Bird of Prey. My husband is a Trekkie and almost had an aneurysm when he heard that part!
Wonderful episode. Love that dyed yarn Kay. And Dan, that sweater is a triumph. Looking forward to the Easter show especially since I won’t have to get up in the middle of the night this time!
Great show as always♥️🧶 l am considering a project in Plötulopi, and l would appreciate your opinion on this yarn Dan, have you tried it before? Being a Letlopi fan l thought you may have done.
Huge little house on the prairie fan. Adding your book to my reading list.

Our rhubarb is about ready for harvest any day. Rhubarb is the first home grown harvest we get. I live on the central coast of BC in Canada.
Rhubarb is the first plant to emerge in my garden every spring, before the asparagus! I’m in the Pacific Northwest 😊

Thanks for recommending “One for the Black Bird One for the Crow” what a beautiful story. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The book is on my TBR list and sounds fab! Gorgeous yarn ❤

Hello from Swansea, Illinois. Love your pink socks.
My daughter picked up cross stitch about 1 month after I gave all of my supplies to a friend. Tried to teach crochet to her and it was a no go!

My favorite part is when you dye your yarn! And how you come up with ideas of your color ways!
I love the colors you chose for your Reading Shawl! There is nothing like having your daughter pick up a craft you do and run with it!
My favorite weight is the 80 - 20 especially with the high twist! Those are gorgeous socks!
Custard love it , I also love the skin on it , great video as always .

Kay, I love your idea of a gift package with the shawl, books, and some goodies. I would love to receive a gift like that!
Well I ordered the book, I feel that I can really relate to Buela too. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the book recommendation! I love the yarny book club and the idea of the reading cowl!

Rhubarb is one of the first things to come up in spring here in MInnesota - harvest shortly after.

The yarn you died is gorgeous!
!!!Alpaca wool doesn't hold water? That must be what is so great about it. Imagine not worrying about getting wet in the rain or snow!
My mother's name was Beulah
Kay, if you love stories about the settlement of the US prairie states. One of my favorite books is “A Lantern in Her Hand” by Bess Streeter Aldrich.
Rhubarb season starts now until 23 June, St. John’s day.
