I voted early, and I'm an Election Judge, so it's been busy. Knitting like the wind when I can, helping to keep me sane. So hopeful that we saved democracy yesterday. I'm too anxious to check the news today, I am so over my disappointment in people who want to restrict freedoms.
Your shawl is stunning. I would wear that every single day. What a work of art.
Oh my gosh! Beautiful shawl!!!! Great projects on the needles!
Already voted weeks ago myself, we only have one polling place in a town of over 100,000 people so most of us do mail in voting. I have a feeling my knitting will be tighter the next few days.
Hello Lisa, from Swansea, Illinois. ❤❤❤❤❤ your shawl is beautiful and I love it!
Summer is over! You’re in a shawl and making blankets again 😂 All is as it should be 😂
This is my favorite shawl. Your color choices, the pattern and your work are perfection!
It's always nice to see a new podcast from you on Mondays. I enjoy your rambling too. You are good company whilst I knit. I'm currently knitting on a lap blanket to use in my car. (Not while driving. Lol). Have a good week. Sending good thoughts your way. ❤
Ooo! I need a blanket for my car! (Not while driving) 😆
I did a scrappy marled blanket with fingering held double using scraps for both parts. Since they were random scraps, one would run out before the other and I would just add a new color in. It had a nice blended effect. I used a basic garter stitch with an i-cord edge.
Your blanket & shawl are absolutely beautiful! If you want to have a yarn to pair with your scraps for the Cozy blanket, but don't want to buy yarn, gather some skeins that you don't like and then overdye them with a gray, black, or blue ( these colors because they will cover or blend the most colors). You don't even have to buy any acid dye, if you don't want to. You can use food coloring (Wilton works great) and vinegar to do the dyeing. Also Rit DyeMore works great on protein & cellulose fibers and can usually be found locally.
Anyway, an afternoon of dyeing will help you get rid of yarn you aren't crazy about, as well as your scraps, if you want to pair colors. Have a great day and take care.
Thank you! I did end up buying yarn, but I got a great deal. Stay tuned to the next episode on Monday! 😆
But what a shawl you made!!
We have a leaf blower/vaccuum, it's the best, though you do have to do it when they are dry. We cannot blow leaves into the street, though some do, even though they could get ticketed when they do.
You need to crochet a moss stitch corner to corner blanket with scraps! Hooked by Robin has a free pattern.
For the jelly roll I use the same join as the 10 stitch blanket uses. Very pink knits has a tutorial I think
❤❤❤
I agree with you about the jelly roll blanket joint. I just could not get it. I think the cozy comfort throw with random scraps would be nice! Maybe rake the leaves with gloves, I know the feeling. And I think that helps some.💛
Yep. I should have worn gloves. 😆
I want to try the Pinwheel blanket from Knitting Expat.
Beautiful work
You also can put your self on a scale, get your weight, the hold the blanket, and then minus your weight , get the difference, the covert the lbs to grams
Love your shawl. Beautiful colors!
Hi Lisa! Live all the scrappy socks! Your granny stripe blanket is so beautiful!!! I’m working on mine along with a chevron stripe scrappy throw! Cozy knitting and crochet time for sure. I love Ruby and Roses yarn too! Many a little too much! Shhh! 😂 have a lovely week 💜
Do there jelly roll but join like you did for the Stephen west shawl that you did in panels.
Good morning Lisa, your knits are stunning, I think you said awhile ago that you chained 303 for your crochet blanket, it's beautiful and cozy looking, have a wonderful week ❤
I figure half of the country is going to be devastated on Wednesday. And it just depends on how you voted if you are happy or not. Praying for our country! On a more fun note, I love your shawl! I’m just ready to add the last section of the wavy rows.
Good morning! I was completely over thinking the joining of the Jelly Roll blanket rows, watched a video and then it made sense to me. I do it like the crazy sock lady now and love it. I have five on the go. I also have a few memory blankets and cozy comfort blankets going. One of the cozy comfort throws I’m holding Yarnable yarn double. I love blankets so much!
I might try it again. We’ll see. 🤣
The Incredible Blanket by Purl Soho might be an option for you for a Magic Knot Ball - it's a knit blanket, pattern is in fingering weight. I'm doing one holding Opal yarn double.
Thanks! I’ll check it out!
Congratulations on winning a prize from the #monsterburghkal! I like to knit log cabin blankets with leftovers. Not sure how it works with small leftovers.
Good morning Lisa. Love those speckled heels and toes once again. So nice to hear your doing well today. And even better is that you finished your attic 24 fingering granny stripe blanket. Looking forward to see your progress on the other blankets as well. I haven't seen Miss Amie post in awhile. I hope she's doing alright. Happy November lady. Take care............... Prayers for rain. Ken😊
Morning ,, Lisa 🌞🌞
Happy to start my Monday off with you,,,,thanks🎉
I love socks and blankets,,,,
I have 2 cozy memories started,,,a DK and a fingering to work on this winter,,,
Love the idea of the cozy comfort throw,,,,would look great marled with scraps ,,I think,,,,
Love ur striped blanket,,,!!!!nice to have all those grams out,,,,
Great scrappy socks,,,,
Have a good week,,,

I tape my hands because I get blisters every time I rake leaves. It works wonders.
On the leaves, do you have a lawnmower with a bagger, if so could use that and then put the chopped leaves in flower beds for mulch
No bagger on my lawnmower. 😒
@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512 ooooh shoot, would've been easier on your body...
Did you see that Felici yarn is back !!!
Yep! I have to be honest. I’m not a fan of the colors. ☹️
@@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512 Me either, but at least it's a start
Hi Lisa. For the comfort throw, why don’t you use the Desert Vista Dyeworks yarn you put aside?
What about the sweet shop blanket? I’ve seen some people do that without having a neutral color added in, they just use scraps the whole time and I think those look so cute!!
I have seen that pattern. You hold fingering weight double. That probably won’t work for scraps around 2-8 grams.
Your scrappy crochet blanket is awesome!! I don’t crochet much, can you tell me what stitch you used for it? It’s really phenomenal.🤩
I think it’s a double crochet. (3 dc in one st)
Do you follow Wyoming knits podcast? Jenny is knitting a blanket called feather and fan which is a free pattern and she has it listed in her show notes. Such a pretty pattern and colorful. Love your shawl! Beautiful 😍
Nope. I’ll check it out!
On the beautiful scrappy, granny, stitch, blanket, are you holding fingering double or triple? Thanks.
My granny stripe blanket is just 1 strand of fingering weight.
I think we're all stressed about the election. I'm over here thinking of doing some retail therapy at the yarn store to make me feel better....
I have a feeling I will be buying yarn this week too. 😬
What do you call the mini yarn braids I’m trying to find them and can’t thank you I remember you had one
Hmmm… not sure what you’re referring too.
Have you ever purchased yarn at meijers?
I’ve only bought sugar n cream there before. 😆
Do you ever knit anything other than socks and shawls?
Hats, cowls, blankets, mittens, stuffies, etc.
@@knitalltheyarnpodcast5512 and chickens!
So where in Michigan are you? I'm currently living in Ireland - I've been here about 9 years, planning to move back in a year or two. Not so sure about living in the US after seeing the election results…
Yes. Don’t come here. 🤦🏻♀️ It’s going to be rough for awhile.
So none of the join instructions made sense to me no matter how hard I tried until I watched this tutorial. Just in case this changes your mind 😁 th-cam.com/video/_ENsCODnrsc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=H4PegOQF61otJL-V
