So gorgeous colors💝
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us 🙏
Glad you are able to knit again. I just finished my second of Claire Garland's frog and getting ready to try her chicken pattern for one of my granddaughter who loves chickens. I am in the process of deciding on a sweater vs a shawl for my oldest granddaughter who turns 18 this year, she is a very young "flower child" and loves colors. Your granddaughter's sweater turned out lovely.
Thanks so much! I'm really tempted to try some stuffed animals.
Your Flax is beautiful and the Urth yarn looks gorgeous!
Just off my needles is Sweater No. 9 by My Favourite Things. I knit it with yarn that's been in stash since my son was a toddler (he's 23 now!). I bought the yarn during a closeout sale at a local distributor (Annabel Fox Aran Donegal in the color Sweet Pea) with no idea what I'd do with it. I love the fit, look, and color of the sweater... I'm so happy the yarn is finally in a garment and being loved!
Currently on the needles is the Arrowhead Shawl by Alicia Plummer using Swans Island All American Collection Worsted in the Driftwood color that my husband gave me for my birthday.
Also... I have to let you know you inspired me to make the Noro Woven Stitch Shawl which I just love...so thank you! I gave it to my mother for Christmas so I'll need to make it again for myself.
Thank you! And yay for using up deep stash! I'm so glad you tried the Noro Woven Stitch Shawl. My two are still my favorite shawl patterns.
Hello Kathy, I am glad that I've found your channel and happy podiversary to you! I just finished my neck warmer this morning, and I will be making more of them. Happy crocheting!
Thanks for watching, Lisa!
Oh Kathy, I to am a Nonnie of 4 kids. So we shall be good friends. I am a 47 yr crocheter and I'm a new knitter. I started on Mothers Day 2022. It has not been a easy thing for me. I can knit stitch all day long but I MUST look at a video.EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TO PURL. I am a left hander Don know if that has anything to do with my purl troubles. Happy podiversary to you. Mine was Dec 6th and I was recovering from my 146th surgery (yes mam 146) I had a fused rod put in my right leg. From hip to ankle. It has been so painful but I had 7 knee replacements done that all eventually ended up with infection. That right leg has been through the ringer. Now my orthopedic told me if it gets infected it will be a above the knee Amputation, so much prayer for this leg to be agreeable! I sure hope I win your giveaway I'm one who has NO STASH. My medical bills have almost ended my fiber life. My hubby seems to think we should pay all hospital bills before buying frivolous yarn. My surgery in Oct was $1.6million dollars. And I've had 146 so I owe hospitals and drs lots of pesos, lol. My podiversary was Dec6th.,2019 so I guess that's 4 yrs. Oh those singles colors you held up is just really pretty. I feel I've wrote you a book and we just met. Charlene
Thanks so much for your comment, Charlene! I'm so sorry to hear of your medical difficulties and hope you are on the road to recovery. I wish you the very best.
Hi Kathy! So glad you are back. I just finished a year of physio for my shoulders and know how frustrating loosing any mobility can be. I just finished the Warm-up Sweater using a free pattern from Espace Tricot for my daughter, and am currently working on the Foliage Sweater from Strands of Joy. I've also decided to use up all that acrylic yarn that was just sitting there without a home and am making granny squares for a blanket. While the yarn is acrylic, I find blankets have a long life and seem to disappear after my daughters come to visit (as my youngest says all wrapped in one: "my mommy made this!").
Oh, dear. That's a long time for recovery. It does seem that after the initial progress recovery has slowed for me. I love the idea of using up the acrylic yarn to make something beautiful and it would be great for blankets being used by the family. I had one that I made 40+ years ago and was ready to donate, but then one of my kids objected and they now use it for their family. It certainly is easy to wash! I love the Foliage sweater.
Glad your shoulder is feelinng better, Kathy! We've been working on a few of the same projects -- I have a Flax for a friend's baby just off the needles, and I have one sleeve left of a ranunculus! It's my first time knitting the Ranunculus and it is really fun.
I could imagine making a lot of little Flax sweaters!
Hello, I think the yarn you are sharing is beautiful! I recently finished a mysselburgh hat that I adore. Currently knitting a pair of socks, I think the pattern is called missy walk. Enjoying the podcast. Thank you.
Love your little Flax sweater- the muted colours blend the stripes so well. That blue of your Ranunculus is so pretty and that blue mohair would make a great Elton. I just have to do the button band on mins- I love it- like petting a kitten. It was my 30”/day in good light knitting, due to using black lace mohair- lol- took forever but so worth it. I am about to start a Felix cardi, so enjoyed seeing yours and hearing your thoughts about it. Just finished my Lento. Loved knitting it, but it is itching my neck and I would like more positive ease- I will knit another a bit bigger. Great solution to steer your current cardi- too bad the yarn is developing along the bias. The Purlific Knitter does such amazing knits. Thanks for the book recommendations. Really hap to see your episode- always so interesting!
Thanks, Jennifer! An Elton in black would look so good! I took awhile to try mohair, and now I just love it.
Hi Kathy! I love your podcast and am so glad that your shoulder is feeling better and you are knitting again. I just finished knitting the Boho Blush Shawl by Andrea Mowry and just cast on the Felix Pullover by Amy Christoffers, but I am definitely not a monogamous knitter and have several other WIPS going as well. 😂 Congratulations on your Podaversary!
Thank you! The Boho Blush looks like fun to knit and to wear.
Kathy, you are such an inspiration! I’m knitting my second Derecho pullover and the Lento pullover plus the Felix pullover. I am waiting for the yarn to make my first Ranuculus. I live on the coast not too far from you. Love your podcasts and have been watching them while I knit.
Thank you so much, Linda! Maybe our paths will cross sometime. You are working on my favorite sweaters! I would enjoy making any of them again.
Hi Cathy, Love your podcasts and your choice of colors and patterns. I'm a slow knitter (started knitting just three years ago) but have managed to start and finish in January the Storm Hood by Ailbiona McLochlainn in AndeanSun Baby Alpaca. I'm finding it very comfy and practical for walks on the Oregon coast. Currently working on Andrea Mowry's Everyday Sweater using Juniper Moon Patagonia Organic Merino. It's my very first diagonal yoke attempt and I'm loving it!
Lynda Margalit
Thank you! You sure do need something warm for the Oregon coast!
First time seeing your videos. Love it ❤
Kathy, me again. See my comments below. I can’t believe it is your podiversary already! I love your podcast! I love the colours of the Unique yarn. I am like you- I love the fall colours, but the fall colours don’t love me. Even before my hair turned grey- I definitely look best in winter colours- black, deep blue, red, etc., but in a shawl….anything goes. Lol!
My last finished knitted project were those mittens featured on the cover of the last Spin Off Magazine, Ilisha's Mittens by Sivia Harding. I just cast on a sock using handspun merino/alpaca blend yarn. The pattern is DK Weight Vanilla Socks, free on Ralvery. I always enjoy seeing what you are working on. You seem to use a lot of purple and blue, which I love. That's a beautiful sweater for your grandchild. I'm glad you are able to knit again.
Thanks Jessica! I do love those cooler colors. Thanks for telling me about that sock pattern!
Hi Cathy from across the pond. Only just discovered your podcast and have done quite a bit of binge watching though not in order. Oh so many questions I have for you but perhaps not now.
I returned to knitting after 61/2 years when for some reason becoming very robbed me of my joy of knitting, reading and audio books.
Strangely enough it was quite recovering from surgery I took up the needles again, they were all I had left having given all my stash to the MacMillan cancer charity and patterns to a friend.
So at present I am knitting the cardi from Rico knitting idea compact, wise Hilda’s basic ribbed socks in West Yorkshire pheasant sock wool, and the cardi from highland feathers dk
I have the wool to start my first ever top down jumper the flex light by tincan knits, it made me laugh when you said you were going to try your first bottom up I must find out how you did with that.
I would love to know how you know just what colours suit you and am amazed by how you can adapt a pattern and make alterations I am not that clever
Glad your on the mend take care
Oh ps if I did get lucky and win the draw I would be happy to pay postage to the uk xx
Hi, Carol! I'm glad to hear you got back into knitting. I've just been experimenting. Sometimes I make some great choices and then some are "learning experiences"! Lovely to hear from you.
Hello Kathy, pleased to know that knitting is not aggravating your shoulder. I have just finished the Column of Leaves Top by Simy's Studio and have started on Faie by Monica Wesley.
Thanks, Dianne! What a pretty top Column of Leaves is!
Happy anniversary! I completed 2 sweaters this past week...a mosaic one named the Ixchel by Nomad Stitches, and the Lento. I felt like a quick knit, so I've cast on a pair of fingerless mitts that uses up leftover self-striping yarn 😁
Sandra, I like those mitts and LOVE the color of your Lento. I don't usually go for that full pink, but I sure do love the color, especially with all the purple speckles.
Hi Kathy- love your podcast and hearing about all of your projects. I recently finished (finally) my Stephen West MKAL shawl and am now working on a DRK Everyday sweater.. in purple!
Thanks, Anne! I've had that sweater in my favorites as soon as it came out. Congratulations on finishing that shawl!
Glad to hear that you are doing well….I give you so much credit for doing this…thank you…the podcast thing that is. I would be too self conscious. I, too, retired right before Covid…. My living room turned into my studio for spinning and weaving.
Thanks, Maria. It has been a learning experience for sure! I love the image of your living room becoming your studio!
The last thing I knit was 2 hats, didn't really have a pattern though. The yarn is lovely! Hey from Hiddenite North Carolina!!💜💚🌻🌻
I have finished my first colour work sweater ‘Diamond Delight’ by Drops and am now working on The Simple and Simple sweater by Knitting for Olive, love the cardigan you’re wearing
I just looked up the Simple and Simple sweater and that took me into all of her patterns. I've always wanted to make the Olive Cardigan or sweater.
Hi Kathy, I just. finished. up. a Rockpool by Midori Hirose and a Best Check beanie for my granddaughter. Now I'm finishing up a pair of socks in the Chasing
Chevrons pattern. I really enjoy knitting along while I watch your podcast :). I'll be pulling out my languishing Felix sweater after seeing yours.
Thanks so much! I do love the Felix.
Why would jewel tones not be appropriate just because your haircolor has changed? I think that's going to look GORGEOUS on you. Congratulations on reaching the 1-year milestone
Thank you! Thanks for reminding about Black Sheep Knitter. I loved her first episode. And I thought about using the Sophie scarf for a head tie (and maybe a good traveling project?), but then realized I have two skeins of this luscious alpaca yarn so really want to use up all of it. I'll look for another yarn in the pantry for the scarf.
Much as I love the natural yarns, I do believe that we should make something beautiful with what we have. Red Heart was the yarn I used for a big double crochet blanket I made in the 1970's. My kids still use it!
Hi, I just finished a Sophie Shawl and I am now working on a boneyard shawl. Congratulations!
Thank you!
I just finished a bulky weight hat in Tumbler by Rowan. I made it for my friend's birthday. She loves walking her dogs. I'm now making myself The Novice Cardigan by PetiteKnits and the Squishy Garter blanket by Stephen West. I always enjoy your podcasts. Thank you for the book recommendations too! Happy Days.
Thanks, Janice! Those are some fun projects!
Kathy, Glad your shoulder is getting better. My shoulder has been slow progress but still improving. Finished the Easy V Pullover by Caitlin Hunter.Knitting the Skakki Shawl now an Icelandic pattern by Helene Magnusson.
🎉Congrats on 1 year podcasting.I have really enjoyed them.
Caryl, north of Seattle.
Thanks, Caryl! The Easy V has been in my favorites for ages and I love it, but somehow haven't gotten around to it.
Hi Kathy, your Grand Daughters sweater is adorable. Happy you are knitting again! You have inspired me to knit a sustainable wardrobe. I had one skein of a gorgeous charcoal gray DK yarn. I decided to make a turtle neck Dickie😃. I free handed and finished it in 3 days. It’s perfect. It felt so good to know I wanted this and instead of buying I created it myself. I now have what looks like a chunky gray sweater. With no bulk when I wear a jacket. It’s so good! The funny part the day I cast off…The Grocery Girls had a segment on their last podcast. About “The Dickie”. It was hilarious. On my needles now The 😢Lento. Again thank you for the inspiration! Also working on The Big Cozy Cardi
Thanks so much, Teresa! I remember wearing dickies when I was at a parochial school. We wore uniforms, but they allowed us to wear a dickie under our white shirts. I love that you were able to know what you wanted and made it yourself! That's what I've enjoyed about Miss Evil Knits (who has a new "recipe" out now for a skirt).
I just finished Miss May's shawl by curious handmade. I am currently working on a few projects. Just finished a crochet baby sweater, hat, and booties, still working on the blanket. I am also knitting my first pair of knitted vanilla socks by The crazy sock lady. That yarn is pretty, it would make a beautiful shawl by Expression Fiber Arts Copeland or Stephen West Boneyard.
That's a nice shawl pattern!
Well Kathy, I can't see why that beautiful wool wouldn't look fabulous on you. I love you colour choices and would happily wear them all myself. I'm currently on a PetitKnit roll having just finished an Ankers Jacket for a baby and about to embark on an April Cardigan for myself. Another very enjoyable episode, thank you.
I love both those patterns!
Hi Kathy. I’m new here. Nice to meet you. I have the same problem as you - knit or read. Most days I try to do some of each. I’m happy to say that I just finished the book that I was reading and a shawl from expression fiber arts. I’m going to try to shop my stash for my next project, probably another shawl. Congratulations on your upcoming podiversary.
Thanks, Sheryl! If you knit and read, there is almost always something to do!
Hi Kathy. I so enjoy your podcast and am always delighted to receive a notice that there’s a new episode available. I recently finished the Wild Rose Cowl by Traci Millar and the Criss Cross Cardigan by Isabell Kraemer. I’m currently working on the Easy V Pullover by Boyland Knitworks and the Sophie Shawl by Petite Knit.
Thanks so much, Eileen. Those are some great patterns! I'm definitely due for a good Isabell Kraemer design.
Hi Kathy, I enjoy book shares as much as your knitting content. I recently finished the Sophie Shawl and will definitely be making another one and am currently working on The Men’s Classic Raglan Pullover by Jane Richmond for my husband.
Hi, Karen! I think my Sophie Scarf just has to be a shawl instead so I can use up all that lovely yarn. Thanks for the mention of the Men's Classic Raglan. This has to be the year I finally knit a garment for Dennis!
I had a problem with biasing recently with silk yarn for a simple tee knit in the round. After hearing your comments I wonder if it could be related to the twist, especially with a hand spun yarn. Blocking did reduce the appearance of the biasing after I patted the columns to make them more vertical.
I took a hard look at the vest and think the biasing is not too bad, so I'm continuing on with it. More news in my next podcast! I've heard of this problem before but have never had to deal with it.
Hi Kathy. I finished the Ankers Sweater in two strands of grey and light blue marled Holst Supersoft called Glacier. I am currently knitting The Dude sweater for my son in-law using Brown Sheep Nature Spun. It’s big and very squishy. I taught myself ladder jaquard so the black color-work would not show through the cream main color
The Dude looks like fun! and your Ankers Sweater sounds right up my alley. Love grey and light blue.
I just finished making dot pebbles frog. I cast on my Ranunculus which is how I found your podcast. I’m not loving the color so gotta rethink some things lol that purple is gorgeous!
It's hard to work on a project when you don't love the color!
Love your podcast Kathy, I’m knitting a pair of vanilla socks and I just finished the firewood cap for my niece 🌻
I just looked up the Firewood hat and realized I have the pattern already in the Salt & Timber book. Thanks for the reminder! It's a good basic.
Good to see you enjoying your knitting, Kathy!!
I have a few different Gotland and A Gotland blend from a couple of Oregon farms. The grey Gotland does feel heavy and dense from both places. There is a local meet up Sunday afternoons at Cozy, I’ll text you…I can bring some of my Gotland yarns for comparison if you want!
That sounds great, Wendy. I'd love to have you look at mine.
Love your podcast and cannot agree more with your distain for the image of knitting being only for old ladies!! My knit/crochet group has many young members. I just finished my first Lento and am currently working on a Felix cardigan and my first colorwork project - the Wisp Raglan by Tif Neilan.
Tif Neilan has so many great patterns! There's one of hers I'd like to try named Long Winter Song.
Her patterns are very well written. I have had no problems with this first colorwork.
Hi Kathy, I'm happy to find a podcaster from the NW! (I live in Portland, OR) I just finished Norah Gaughan's Blume sweater in Brooklyn Tweed's Arbor yarn, and am currently knitting Mountain High, a pullover sweater, in Green Mountain Spinners yarn. Congratulations on your podiversary.
Thanks, Constance! I've always wanted to make Mountain High. Where do you buy Brooklyn Tweed in Portland?
@@northwestknitting5993 I've bought it online through the Brooklyn Tweed website. They had a flash sale of Arbor in cones and that was what I knit Blume with. I loved knitting from a cone! No caking, no splicing. I think they have discontinued cones, however. I'm loving knitting Mountain High, a terrific simple raglan pullover that goes quickly.
@@constancemcconnell2128 I saw BT Shelter and Loft, (and Tones, I think) at Websters, a yarn store in Ashland. They don't have all the colors, but a pretty good selection, and it was great to be able to see them in person.
I just finished some Felici socks. I’m working now on another pair of socks with a beautiful Trilogy yarn.
Sounds lovely. I have some sock yarn I'm dying to try.
Hi Kathy, I must say, those colours in the giveaway yarn are gorgeous. I have just finished my Salty Air Tee by Samantha Guerin, and straight away casted on a new one in a 90% merino, 10% linen yarn from Miss La Motte. I can assure you if I won the giveaway, I would be casting on another. The pattern is a great shape and good fit for me. Congratulations on your podaversary. 🎉
Rosemary, I've been considering that pattern since it came out, so glad to hear it works for you so well. It is lovely.
I’m knitting plain socks (rounded toe, Judy’s magic toe cast on, fleegles heel and k2,p2 ribbing) with the rest of the yarn from my last project (same sock pattern but slightly larger than the current pair). On the last project I used 56 grams of 100 grams of the yarn. I’m using the rest of the yarn for the current pair. I just finished turning the heel so just the leg and ribbing. There is not much yarn left so this pair will definitely be shorter. Before the socks I knit 11 cowls using the easy ridged cowl by Barbara breiter as gifts.
That's a lot of cowls, Noreen!
I just cast off the Turtle Dove, a free pattern by Espace Tricot, this morning and it’s on the blocking mat! I’m hoping my next cast on will be a colourwork vest by Marie Wallin, however I may fit in a quick sweater knit first or as well as, perhaps one of the striped sweaters that are popular. I love the colours in your giveaway yarn, and I love orange!
Great choices! I'd love to try a pattern by Marie Wallin.
Hi Kathy, I enjoy your podcasts and congratulations on your podcast anniversary. Very happy to hear your shoulder is healing and you’re now able to knit. I find your selection of patterns and yarn colors compatible with me. It must be an age and hair color thing and I’m grateful for the inspiration.
Thanks, Judith! I'm so glad to be back to knitting!
😊happy podiversary Thank you for your time. Happy you are recovering, I went through a similar time of non knitting . I am finishing Eyedazzler for my granddaughter who is turning 16. Just finished the body on Trinigan. Hoping it’s not too heavy to use this year by the time it’s finished. I’m in Minnesota we are in endless winter due for 18” of snow this week…it will be worn. Ravelry I’m Tsknitter… trying to be better at updating but only the last few years.
Eye Dazzler is gorgeous! Stay warm. It's been very cold here, but we often have sun in the afternoon that warms things up enough to go for a walk. The snow keeps passing us right by!
Hi I'm Liz Leonard I made a pair of socks and also have made several shawls love the colors.
Your Ranunculus is a gorgeous color! I knit a Felix Cardigan with Gotland and it sheds so much, all over the house, and the pills are the size of gumdrops. I will be interested if you find the same, once you begin to wear it. I love the warmth and light weight of the Gotland, but even after trying to felt it a bit to stop the shedding, it still does. Your Give-a Way yarn would look stunning in colorwork with a black background. I'd love to win!
Yikes! Linda, that wouldn't be much fun. I'll definitely let you know if mine sheds. Not seeing any sign of that yet. . . That is a great idea to use the Uneek with black. It would be stunning on the right person.
I just finished a test knit for Emma Barnaby, the Anne Elliot socks. I am working on two sweaters: a Timepiece Cardigan in Nutiden and a Maja Cardigan in Lettlopi.
What great choices! I've been looking at the Maja cardigan for ages. It is such a beautiful colorwork design.
You are the winner of the giveaway! If you're on Instagram, send me a private message there. If not, let me know and I'll give you another way to contact me.
While I was watching this, I cast off a Reyna shawl made with Trilogy Yarns' Llamas in Drag colorway. It was a fun knit despite having to do the last 10 or so rows 3 times as I wasn't happy with the way I had tried working the bottom.
Ended up with about 15 inches of yarn left, how's that for yarn chicken??
Now on to working on a Kinsey Hat in Berroco Vintage in red and grey for a Berroco hat KAL. Plenty of yarn for that project, so no yarn chicken.
Reyna looks like it would be a good summer shawl project. Doesn't it feel great to use up all the yarn? Unless you need a little ball nearby to pet once in awhile!
Just finished Calliope in Drops Karisma. I’m working on Petiteknits No Frills Sweater. Trying to use stash but I seem to order more new yarn than the stash I use.
I do love that Calliope pattern! Basic knits are so appealing to me right now.
Hi Kathy! I just cast off the Wednesday knit vest that I saw in the netflix show Wednesday. I didn't follow any pattern because I wanted to try to freehand for once. It's been a while since the show is popular but I frogged alot of it out due to a mistake so I have just finished it now haha! Lovely giveaway. Thank you and hope you are having a great day!
Thanks so much! I haven't tried freehand yet, but I'd love to relax enough to just experiment. Maybe with a baby sweater.
I've been knitting on the Autumn League Pullover and I just finished the Let's Stay Home socks. I also just finished the Simple Thing Shawl which is very similar to the Sophie scarf. I need to decide on my next project. I love the color of your Felix.
Thanks, Dorothy! I like the Autumn League...another simple but satisfying knit.
Congrats on your anniversary and thank you for this give away. Among the projects I finished lately were a hoodie for my son, named #1212 Zipper Hoodie for Men by Diane Soucy, and a pair of fingerless mittens, named Duke City Mitts by Dagmar Beinenz-Byrd. I am now working on a cardigan named Big Love by by ANKESTRiCK. Happy knitting and hello from Germany
Thank you! My kids would love that hoodie. Great Love has been on my list forever. Maybe this is the year! And I like those mitts. Simple and appealing.
@@northwestknitting5993 I knitted Little Love last year, it is a great pattern. Wish you much fun with Great Love which I don't know yet.
I just finished The Classic by Espace Tricot and am now working on the Pothos Tee by Beth MacDonald Stone, socks, and HAP!
I am knitting socks for charity. I knitted a pair of socks in a skein of Uneek yarn at Christmas and they were great!
Hi Kathy, please share the list you mentioned of local yarn companies needing our support. I too would like to buy local if I can and support local yarn businesses.
Thanks for reminding me! I put them in the show notes under the NYT link to the article. Now I have to look them up and see where they are and what they have.
Congratulations on your podiversary, Tracy! Wishing you many more! I have just finished knitting the Tender feet bath mat (2pcs), & now I am test knitting a 2nd version of the Twisted Pillars shawl by Krystal Walker.... I absolutely loved the yarns that you have pulled out for this giveaway! I have already got my fingers and toes crossed 🤞😊🤣!
Interesting idea to make a bath mat! I'm thinking of a small rug with some of the yarns I don't know what to do with.
I just knit a scarf and I’m working on a shawl. I don’t know what the pattern is called.
OMG!! I thought you were my age! 55 Not 70
Oh, you are so kind!
