I kept hearing children at play and kept looking out the window. I was feeling somewhat crazy. I'm glad you said you had your window open. Thanks so much for sharing your knitting hopes and dreams as well as your makes. It always is so inspiring! ❤❤❤
A creativity stay cation!!! What?!? Yaaassss! This is going into my calendar. Brilliant. I love your season of creative bloom Sandy you keep me so inspired and excited for each day’s opportunities ❤❤❤
You definitely caught Spring fever! Good luck on all those projects, there is no way I could do all those! I think it’s wonderful that you have all that energy! It’s going to be exciting to see those finishes ❤
So glad you are enjoying your knits again! It's important to love what you are working on. I love the sounds of spring, too. The students just left campus last week, so it's gotten extremely quiet in our area. My home is usually quiet, anyway, except for the birds and the occasional vehicle. Best of luck on your KnitCity adventure! Here's to all going amazingly well.
Always a pleasure to watch your video Sandy. I wished I was going to knit city Toronto! Will you go to Knit City Calgary? I love the sounds of kids playing!! Your projects are beautiful as always!! ❤
Beautiful blanket projects, Sandy! I found a new to me podcast that I just love called Stitched by Mrs. D. She is a hoot. She’s been podcasting for over 4 years I think so I decided to go back and watch from the beginning. I am hooked. She lives in England and knits, crochets and sews and is so funny, as are her husband and kids. Enjoy your blanket knitting! 🪻🌷🌸🌻🌹
I love Stitched by Mrs. D. She is great, so talented and so funny. Another great podcast and vlog is Ali from "This Little Wonderful Life" and "Little Drops of Wonderful". One channel is her vlogging channel, and the other is her crafty podcast. She knits, crochets and draws, and is a delight to watch.
I’ve been following Heidi and Lana on patreon for quite awhile. Her yarn is beautiful as well. I also follow sugarfolk homemade and just love her. Another good one is Wooly Mammoth she’s in Ireland.
Really lovely podcast that has made my day and very much inspired me 😊 I love the book shelf fabric bag ❤Keep an eye out for one of my favourite yarn dyers from 🏴 at Knit City Toronto- Botanical Yarn 🧶
Always enjoy your podcast. I have a question. Did you say there is a DK version of the Coziest Memory Blanket? Only saw fingering on Ravelry? Ordered a DK advent for this December 😊
Thank you! Yes, I went to Kay Litton (crazy sock lady's Ravelry project page for hers and followed her notes). I'm doubling fingering weight yarn to be a dk weight, using US 5 (3.75mm) needles and I cast on 40 sts for each square.
Your Jelly Roll blanket is so pretty!! I understand what you are saying about a fingering weight blanket feeling thin but I love to have a couple for the spring and summer
Good to see you! Nice catch up😊 I always love seeing what you are working on; I started a mitered square blanket in January to use up left over sock yarns. All those left o era were just cluttering up my space.
Love the twins who knit and Sugarfolk. They are great podcasts that I look forward to. It is also nice to seeing you recently. I hope you keep coming back to us when you have time. It´s always nice to catch up. 😊
So nice to spend some time with you Sandy. Love the book themed bag!!! 💖📚 I hope you have a wonderful time at the show. I’m exactly the same and have to refresh my brain with patterns that I haven’t worked on for a while. Loving all of your wips!!! Have a wonderful week 💖🙏🏼
Your jelly roll blanket is GORGEOUS! Don’t rip it out. I finished a light blanket with fingering weight yarn and I love it on “warmer” mornings when I just need a little something to throw over my legs. It’s very cozy. Your yarn looks lovely.
Will be so excited to see you at Cakepalooza this year. It will be my first Rhinebeck. I love Edible Thoughts Makes. She knits so beautifully. You are so sweet to highlight new to you podcasters. I always check out podcasts that I’m not familiar with. A friend of mine from Alberta, Canada has recently started a knitting podcast-Swatch This Space. She is very calmning and has such a clever, dry humor. Try her. Thanks
I’ll be wishing a very happy time at Knit City and Cakepalooza! That mohair sweater with jumbo stripes will be a wonderful knit and fabulous for Rhinebeck days! I’m a huge mohair fan. Light, and so warm, and keeps the damp away, without over heating you.
Sandy, I am knitting my third Half and Half Triangle Shawl and I am loving every second of it! It is the never ending knit but what a joy. I set out to make four of them, one for each season….but now that I am almost at the end of my third one, I am not so sure about the fourth one,although I have my yarns already and waiting! Well the future will tell. The Linen Quill is so beautiful and the colours are so so pretty! Thanks for your podcast,it is always a pleasure to listen to.
I recently started a Cozy Memories Blanket recently too and it is such a fun knit. Easy and relaxing but I love see it grow and change. I am using fingering weight held double. It is so squishy!!
I made a Tiny Tassels several years ago. Love it! If you want, you can use up as much of the Chelsea Luxe skein as possible, then make the tassels out of odds and ends in your stash. Be warned…the tassels will take a minute! I think mine has over 40…but who’s counting; )
I am so excited you are going to be at Cake Palooza! I am hoping to get there (already have the B&B) and would love to meet you! I love your work and have so many of your things.
I made the Traveler Cowl in fingering weight and it is lovely. It was a pretty quick knit. Her directions are great and you can make it out of any weight of yarn.
I am just like you Sandy, I wanna make all the blankets 😂. I have 4 blankets going, i love it! Love your color choice for the Mega Stripe Sweater, I made the Navy version for my self, and I love that too :)
❤sandy!!!!great to catch up,,,,🎉 Have a great time at knit city ,,,,can't wait to hear all about it,,,, Love the DK mitred square inspired by Kay !!!! A game changer from the fingering weight one I started ,,,(that now is a wrap) ,,,,, Love doing a few squares a week,,,,and so so cozy,,,,, Love the book from summer lee too and her podcasts are inspiring,,,,,love socks ,,,, Take care and thanks for spa great start to my Monday,,,, Elaine ❤️🏠
Nice to see you back! Love your visits. If you want to see some truly gorgeous sweater knitting and yarns to die for, you should visit Helle of Danish Musings podcast. She does a bit of travel vlogging too and has a lovely aesthetic. Her home is beautiful and she always has some interesting book recommendations and quotes. Like you, I have started quite a few blankets, (crochet and knitting) but have never completed one yet! My 4ply cozy memories is at a stage where I could finish as a lap blanket and I might do that. I ripped out my 4 ply jelly roll blanket and started a DK version which I am enjoying much more, and it will use up those scraps faster. I recently found the Zigzag Zen blanket pattern by Anniina Juuti, another one for using up minis and leftovers. I think you might like that one too. I knit a lot of socks, but hoping to knit more sweaters this year if I can. Always enjoy hearing your recommendations. 🩷
Lovely blanket projects. The jumper and the colours you chose will be stunning . Your meatball sliders looked delicious. Good luck with the show you have next weekend. Have a good rest of the month xx
I use those project folders for my patterns too. I have a hat folder , a shawl/cowl folder and a miscellaneous folder. It is so handy! I wish I could go to Knit City this year! Have a great show!
I’m planning on going to Knit City and would love to meet you (I won’t be shy about lol) but it all depends on my son and daughter in law may have a baby this week😊❤
I kept hearing children at play and kept looking out the window. I was feeling somewhat crazy. I'm glad you said you had your window open.

Oh, how exciting!! A new baby! I hope to see you there.
What is all the yelling in the background? Yikes
Windows were open and kids were playing in the neighbourhood.
So nice a new podcast! This must become a great week with such a joyful beginning. Going to watch it later today.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@bythelakesidea summer breeze :) thank you. Wishing you a great time at Toronto knit and hope you will sell loads of things there.
