  • I invited my two very good friends (who also happen to be knitters) on to the channel for a special knitting podcast! We show off our recent finished knit projects, what we are currently knitting, as well as many good conversations regarding lamb processing, renaissance festival outfits, and more!

    Yep a vegan and a knitter here! 🙂 I have a flock of 20 rescued sheep that all know their names and are so sweet and loving. They need to be sheared twice a year and therefore I still use wool to knit with.

    • @brookwillow
      @brookwillow  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This sounds like an absolute dream 😍 I’m sure they provide you with so much beautiful wool! I love it ❤️

    I am a sheep farmer, and I definitely appreciate the meat and fleece my animals (which I care for immensely), I know it can be a touchy subject. It is so needed to get back to our roots. By avoiding and ignoring the subject we depreciate the value of our beautiful animals. So thanks for sharing 😌

    • @brookwillow
      @brookwillow  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree! The more we talk about it the more people will appreciate the entire process of farming and where our yarn comes from ☺️

    This is so fun! I am so glad I found this video! Also with me being a vegan knitter who used to raise sheep, I appreciate people who want to learn how to respect sheep throughout the process.

    • @brookwillow
      @brookwillow  ปีที่แล้ว

      How fun you used to raise sheep! There are actually quite a few people commenting who do and I think it’s so cool. I’d love to get more involved in the process myself. Anyways, thank you for watching ☺️

    Thank you ladies for an enjoyable knit/crochet session, so much talent on the sofa!! I am knitting on my second ever sweater, The Lovenote and I am loving it! LOL I'll have to check out Whetstone Farm as I am often in Northfield. So fun to see local-to-me knitters sharing, thanks again...loved the episode. Darcy from WI

    I knit toe up, two at a time almost exclusively AND I knit a heel flap and gusset (because it fits best for me). Love this friends video.

    • @brookwillow
      @brookwillow  ปีที่แล้ว

      I have seen tutorials on how to do heel flap and gusset toe up! I really want to try that out. Maybe for my next sock ☺️ thanks for watching as always ❤️

    This was lovley! As a vegan, i try to use as much natural and local resources as I can (wool as well), so I really appreciated your talk and thought’s on farming and traditional methods. But personally I think it’s better to eat local if you can, than ship all your stuff from the other side of the world so I really don’t mind the meat talk 😅 even tho i don’t think i could eat meat again if i really did not have to, after all these years.

    • @brookwillow
      @brookwillow  ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree that eating/shopping as local as you can is so important! And also such a great way to support the local farmers ☺️

    I’m a vegan knitter and I love using wool! I try to only buy yarn from ethically sourced and humane yarns :)

      Hahah I know 😝 I think I need to tweak my sock blocking practices lol

  • @carolinvonfritsch5312
    @carolinvonfritsch5312 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For the yarn, could you check in ravelry if s.o. has it and can help you out?

    • @brookwillow
      @brookwillow  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m going to look into that today because I still have not received a notification that it’s back in stock! Thank you for the suggestion ☺️

  • @kelseaglickman8310
    @kelseaglickman8310 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Loved this video! Where’d you get your sock blocker?? I also don’t really block but I’m thinking it might help them dry quicker after washing!

    • @brookwillow
      @brookwillow  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think I got them from Knit Picks! They would definitely help with drying them ☺️ sometimes I use them to reshape socks if they get weird in the washer!
