“Far from perfect, but perfect from afar” is now my knitting mantra! I love all your projects but that green in your Fletchling and all colors in your Treysta are beautiful. 😍
Thank you for including Once Upon a Sheep in your listing of Metro Vancouver yarn shops. I'm one of the volunteers. Once Upon Sheep is a non-profit LYS supporting children's camp and education. We are easier to reach if you fly in Abbotsford. I'd be happy to give you a tour of the region including my floating home on the Fraser River in Langley. Moved here after 22 years in Calgary. Loving it, but miss the big blue sky of Alberta! Am catching up on your earlier vlogs, so lovely and informative. Great Canadian content Leanne. I feel like I know you. Cynth
Leanne, your green sweater…..Mike drop! And the Coastland Cowl-lovely! I love the neutral colours of your Jen Steingas sweater. Wish I could wear Letlopi. Love love love your colours for Amy’s test knit. Can’t wait to see it. I am just finishing my Weekender (which I had to rip out and start again as it was ginormous- lol).
Oh and thanks for showing Vancouver in all its glory. I live in Kamloops (do you ever fly here? We now have a new yarn shop which I have yet to check out). My siblings live at the coast and on the Island, so I visit Vancouver regularly.
Loved the trip to Vancouver!! The yarn store was so pretty and what a cute name. The green and white color work looks so perfect and I couldn’t even notice the color work mistakes!! I was spinning while watching❤
Fabulous as always 💕 your green cowl is lovely and that colour 💚 I love your onesie, never had a jumpsuit but love them each time I see them. Thanks for the fun, happy knitting, Karen 🥰
Hello from Vancouver! So fun to see your tour of my city and glad you visited my favourite local yarn shop. It is so interesting to see a visitor’s perspective of the place where I live.
Blessings Leanne . . . thank you for your lovely and encouraging podcast! I enjoyed every minute of it. Especially the being short part. Please don't edit I like you just the way you are. I was encouraged by the, "Far from perfect. Perfect from afar". So true!! Plan to tell myself that from now on whenever the mistake is visible only to another knitter. I am enjoying knitting, "Chevy's Mitts" by designer Sandra Buzza from Edmonton. Journey's mercies and joy in your knitting. With appreciation, Sarah
Loving all your knits Leanne. I bought the Coastland Cowl today! I am nearly finished my second Musselburgh. My son snaffled the first one I knitted and he will currently be wearing it in Vancouver where he is working right now (up on the Sunshine Coast). Vancouver is a beautiful city, but so expensive to live there. Your colourwork sweaters are beautiful too. I’ve just purchased a couple from The Petite Knitter in her recent sale. So many lovely designs out there. Need more pairs of hands! I think Amy Palko is a genius to have come up with tartan knitting, and I look forward to seeing your Thegither project. Always enjoy your company, and even although I don’t always leave a comment, I always leave a thumbs up. 👍😊🏴
Finally playing catch up and what a pleasure it was to spend some time with you and your knits 🤗 I really love Anniina's bandana cowl 😍 I don't currently have any bandana cowls in my wardrobe but have been meaning to make some as I feel like they are so wearable. Hooray for diving in and learning so many new techniques Leanne! Isn't knitting so wonderful that way--there's always something new to learn and try 🤗 Your colourwork sweater is so beautiful and I can't wait to see it on! Off to watch your latest episode now 🤗💕
Hi Leanne , I'm knitting hubby a hat cause I can't find 1 big enough for his head 😂 . We're skiing in Italy and I found a good priced italian wool shop, now I'm happy. 😊
LisaR: Wow ❤ Fetching sweater color work beauty! Great projects :) I just ordered more yarn from woolentwine . I "had " to bc I was finally using last years instead of just admiring it ! Amy palko? YES! Laura's provisional cast on with Barber cord is a " WHAAT?!" Moment . Easy , fast & another great use for barber cord . Enjoy all the great knitting plans & thanks for sharing .
Hi Leanne, it’s always a pleasure to watch and listen to your podcast. Urban Yarns is in Vancouver, The Knit and Stitch Shoppe is in West Vancouver, Squamish has a new knitting store called Sweet Threads Yarn and Fibre.
love the colour contrast in your Fletching Leanne, giving all the spring vibes. But i also really like the colours you've chosen for your Treysta, classic and everyday wearable. I'm curerntly working on a Matthew pullover and a hat.
Thank you so much! I have one arm to go and the bottom hem of My Fletching. I’ve been a newsletter subscriber and watcher of Aime Sher’s channel, but never made any of her designs. I like the look of the Matthew Pullover. What are you knitting it in?
@@theknittystew ooh, so close! I really like Aime Sher's designs and the detail she puts into her look books so you know what to expect when you buy the pattern. I'm making it in Toft Aran in a really light grey colour.
Hello Leanne! That Vancouver yarn shop looked lovely! I put that balaclava in my favourites. That might be super useful when walking my dog. Toques, while I love them, don't like to stay put or if I snug them closer to my head, push my glasses down my nose. I have just finished a pair of vanilla socks with yarn from Rosa Pomar and Songbird Yarns. I am sadly STILL working on my husband's Slade Pullover that was SUPPOSED to be a Christmas gift. Clearly underestimated the time required to make it! Oh, well. I should be done by end Feb. Then, and only then, can I cast on something new. Happy travels!
Baaad Anna's is a great name for a yarn store. Love it and loved the footage! Enjoyed hearing and seeing the Vancouver information. It is a city that I have thought of moving to. The prices are a little high so it will take some serious planning to make that happen. 😉 I always like to watch your podcast when things have quieted down here and there are no interruptions so I can "ooh" and "aah" at all your beautiful FOs and WIPs. This episode was another satisfying watch and I thank you so much for sharing what you've done, are doing and will do in the future. 😉❤
Hi Leanne. Urban yarns is a must see yarn shop. They have 2 shoos One in North Van and the other in the UBC area. Love the footage of my city. Great knitting you are doing.
Hi Leanne, not sure what happened to my first comment (oh well)...I watched your video and was so pleased to see you here in YVR. I too work in the airline industry (Westjet) at the airport as a check-in agent and YVR is my home. If you ever make your way back here please let me know (if I'm not working) I'd be happy to take some time to show you to some of our other yarn stores...maybe Sweet Georgia yarns...they are just down the road from my place and close to the airport. No transit or Uber necessary. Enjoy watching your podcasts and look forward to seeing your next travel and yarn adventures.
As always, another enjoyable podcast! I love to see where you are and the local yarn shops! I will definitely be looking for the Coastland Cowl on Ravelry. And, your green sweater is lovely! I like to have 2 projects going, but for some reason I am making fingerless mitts as gifts, a Moby slipover with lots of cables and texture, a Lego blanket for my grandson, Ambah O'Brien cowls with Advent leftovers for gifts, fixing a sweater for a friend, and I want to start the Paper Daisy MKAL in March!! Yikes!!
Lovely to catch your podcast Leanne! I just came back from a trip to Uruguay and got to visit Manos del Uruguay shop and outlet, where I bought the most gorgeous yarns! Your knits are lovely! ❤ Good to see you are in Vancouver, where I live. 😊. HAPPY FLYING!
Hi Leanne, This was such a great episode. I loved all the footage of Vancouver. I loved the Coastline Cowl, I will definitely be casting one on before the weather changes. Loved your Mussleburgh, the yarn was gorgeous. It's one of my favorite hats to knit. The Flechling is so pretty, your yarn colors are so vibrant. I was really impressed with your stranded colorwork using the knitting thimble and not stressing over floats. I was wondering if you would go into more detail and recommend some tutorials that would be helpful. Your Treysta is going to be so beautiful. Take care
Hi Leanne. I loved the footage of Vancouver. It's a beautiful city. Your colourwork wips are great. Isn't colourwork just so addictive? 😂 I've just finished my Artus shawl. I'm nearly finished my Art deko sweater, and am knitting my 10 yr old daughter an Eva cardigan junior. Yes, I want to cast on ALL the things too. Happy knitting.
Great podcast. You do such a great job and are so easy to listen to. And inspiring! I want to knit all the things too!!! I just finished I think my 17th Musselburgh, if you can believe it. I have a big family and that's the hat that EVERYONE WANTS!!! Friends too. Great travel knitting. Mindless and portable. I do a regular long tail cast on. It always looks great. Tonight I cast on a pair of Let's Stay Home Socks by Nancy Wheeler. I'm using a sock kit from Barrett Wool Co. It's great feeling yarn! Kind of earthy and hand spun feeling or something like that. I'm loving it. Happy knitting! ❤
I’m working on Amy’s Coorie-In Poncho at the moment, and it’s making me very excited. It’s starting to feel a little like Autumn here where I live in Australia, and I can’t wait to Coorie-In! I have a gloriously cloud-like blend of wool and mohair, and it feels so indulgent in my hands. On a completely different note, I was in Vancouver in October 2009, just as the city was getting ready to host the Winter Olympics. It had the most fun vibe, and I’d dearly love to get back there one day.
Your Coastline Cowl looks great. 🧶I can't unsee the cat bum in my Musselburgh Hat now. 😂😹 Thanks for the Vancouver tour! I worked on a test knit while watching.
Hey Leanne! Thanks for the shoutout! Love love love everything you’re working on, and those Letlopi colours you picked are SO gorgeous!! I had the same reaction to Charity’s jumpsuit and am so glad you put a link here to the one you got - hope you don’t mind being jumpsuit twins 😂😂 Ps. I’ve never heard the saying “far from perfect but perfect from afar”, I absolutely love it ❤❤
I’m into it!! Jumpsuit twins!! I am replying to some of the comments saying I should have mentioned it takes a little bit of time to go to the bathroom lol
I just learned how to do my first tubular cast on , by watching three different videos. Makes me happy to challenge myself 😂 working on the Luz Cardigan with a beautiful periwinkle cornflower blend with a kidsilk mohair . Another first for me 💙🧶💫 happy to see you Leanne , here😅
So glad you finally got a long layover in Vancouver! Baaad Annas was a good choice for your tour. Wet Coast has all the Norwegian woolly wools, but its stock occupies a tiny footprint that might have been harder (and a lot quicker) to film in. Three Bags Full no longer has a shopfront in Vancouver; they have an online store now, and the owners moved to Ottawa. Next time you're in the area, you could take in both Wet Coast and Urban Yarns, not too far apart from each other. (Both on the west side of town, anyway.) I love your yoke sweaters, and that cowl looks dreamy!
You were in my city, Vancouver. It's lucky you got a nice day. I feel like you, ready to cast on everything. I'm making a Poetry pullover by Sari Nordlund, which is a gorgeous item, and a shetland colourwork sweater by Gudrun Johnson called Yokey Dokey, and a cumulus tee by petite knits. Then I wanted to try some Sandnes garn yarn, so I bought just one skein and am going to make a little sophie scarf to see what all the fuss is about. You said it's the popular woolly wool at the Wet coast wool shop and that's what it is I guess. That's my LYS.
I love your fletching, it’s so cheerful! The colour work looks perfect. Blocking is a magic trick! 😂 Your WIPs and FOs have inspired me although I’m trying not to cast on everything and buy every pattern because I have a pretty big library now 😂 I am working on the Barren Land sweater using Crux Fibres Canadian unspun. I’m nearly done the body - getting excited to have it done. I just cast on the Granny Cardigan by Joji Locatelli using Crux Fibres DK in the ptarmigan colourway. It’s turning out fantastic! Thanks for your podcast, it’s always enjoyable😊 I love Vancouver, wouldn’t want to live there but it’s a great place to visit, particularly in the winter. You are so so lucky to get a beautiful day!😊
Vancouver has been home for 17 years now and I still feel lucky to live here every day! Baaad Anna's is my LYS but I purchase more from Wet Coast Wools, Your Next Knit and Black Sheep Yarns. Urban Yarn also has a nice selection. I am in North Van now but my dentist is still in Kitsilano close to Wet Coast Wools. I make sure never to schedule any dentist appointments on a Monday 😆 Knitting on my Super Selene in Nutiden while watching your podcast.
Hi Leanne! here from Mid-Michigan. I enjoy your podcast and knits so much! It makes me want to knit "ALL OF THE STUFF" I will be knitting your bandanna cowl, it is gorgeous. I'm still knitting on the INGRID sweater by Petite knits. I'm almost halfway finished on the last sleeve. was making it for my husbands birthday feb. 2nd and hopefully be done by feb. 16. Just 2 weeks late🤣.see you soon on the next podcast.
Hi Leanne, I appreciate you taking us along on your stopovers across Canada. Vancouver is such a beautiful city, I had to opportunity to visit the city twice and am looking forward to my next visit. I am currently working on a test for Tamy Gore of Narrow Path Designs and the Anthology Throw by Helen Stewart. Happy knitting.😊
Thanks for the video of the Vancouver area. I lived in the Aldergrove area for 4 years so it was all familiar. Never had the opportunity to go to Baad Anna’s but maybe next time we go back to the area to visit family
Greater Vancouver Regional District doesn’t cross the Fraser River toSurrey, La grey, Abbotsford and my home Chilliwack. Great to see you got good weather. Always inspired by your knits. I’m working on a Tecumseh sweater in Tanis Fibre Arts by Boyland Knitworks and a Celestarium shawl by Audrey Nicklin in Julie Asselin Leisu Fingering.
Hi Leanne thank you for your podcast, I like it very much, very inspiring. I am making the traveller shawl from Andrea Mowry. I am using my self spun yarn. It becomes very colourful. It is nice to use my own spun yarn. Have a nice flight home. Happy knitting from the Netherlands, Christianne
It's lovely to see another video from you and checking out Vancouver. I am knitting the Paloma top by Truly Myrtle in a lovely merino linen blend. trying to finish while it's still summer
Thank you for another awesome podcast. You are by far my favorite! Good luck with the new cast on. I am in the throes of many WIPS which I must resolve. A sweater from a KAL with Tayler Earl of Wool Needles Hands, The Bavaria shawl, I tried a musselbrough which is still on the needles but it is looking huge….so not sure…but I hate to frog! And some mitts too. I am pretty obsessed with mitts these days and want to try some of the more fancy colorwork ones too. Yikes.
Vancouver is such a special city. ❤ I have had many happy visits with fiber friends there. So glad you made it and can share with everyone here. Congrats on your mattress stitch success! I’m still avoiding seaming 😅 May Knitty Stew followers be adopted into Clan Leanne??
I’m trying to convince myself that my mattress stitch looks as good as my usual whip stitch,.. but honestly it’s it’s debatable 😂. AND YES!!! Welcome to Clan Leanne… tartan colours are sheepy
I so enjoy seeing the various places you overnight in, so thank you for sharing. I love the comfort of a “mono” (that’s what they call the onesies/jumpsuits here in Ecuador). Currently working on my Riptide Slipover but have yarn wound and waiting for the Varma by Sari Nordlund. It’s seamed which is something I’ve avoided up to now. Enjoy your time off and look forward to seeing the next episode.
Thank you for another lovely episode. Try to soak your lettlopi-sweater in hot water and hairconditioner. It worked super for me, now I can wear mine next to skin😊
Hello! I always love your podcasts. I was working on the second sleeve (!!) of the Matthew pullover by Amy Sher while listening/watching. I only have 3 decreases left to the ribbing! There were a few moments of confusion, but there is great pattern support for which I was grateful. The Treysta has been on my list for a while, but that might be a 2025 project. I'm pretty sure I have more than enough plans for 2024.
Hi Leanne! Thanks for this episode and the nice tour of Vancouver! I'd love to visit this beautiful city! Actually, I have 3 more active projects: the Apero sweater by Tricot Design MCL, the Nola cardigan by Yamagara (we make a KAL with some of my knitting friends). It's my first time doing intarsia and I'm not sure that I really enjoy that... and when I have to take a break of intarsia, I work on some felted slippers. First time with that technique too. I'm almost done with the knitting part. Hope the fit will be good after the "felting" part... to be continued ;-) Bye!
Leanne I love your Coastland cowl. Thank you for taking us to Vancouver, I really enjoyed the trip. I also love your quote ‘Far from perfect, but perfect from afar’ thanks again. ❤
I was happy to see your podcast come up in my feed! You're in Vancouver where my daughter currently resides! I love the Coastland Cowl!! Definitely will go on my list to make. I made Treysta and wear it quite often. The colours you chose are lovely.
You are such an inspiration! Thank you! I am working on finishing WIPS and it is bringing me such joy! (I do cast on new socks though for car knitting!) ❤
Love all of your FOs and WIPs. My current knit project is the mount robson pullover by Jessie McKitrick in 100 Knits. It's a cartridge rib pattern with saddle shoulders. Started January 1st and since it's fingering weight wool, it seems like I'll never get it finished for my husband. Thanks goodness he's a medium size! Lol. My future dream knit is the Milton by Joji Locateli. It calls for a very fine silk mohair however i really like some suri silk from a local dyer. So many projects, so little time + hands. Many thanks from Winnipeg.
@@theknittystew I just borrowed the book from the library. The rib pattern is so easy to memorize. Knitting the sleeves 2 at a time is what's really testing my patience. At least I won't suffer from second sleeve syndrome.
Hi Leanne. I live in the GVRD, and really enjoyed your episode! ❤ You might not have mentioned Urban Yarns out near UBC. It’s a good LYS too! I always get gift cards from Wet Coast Wools from my family 🥰🥰🥰. I’m just finishing a musselburgh hat too. I might be playing some yarn chicken like you - working in decreases and there isn’t much yarn left!!! 😭
Love your Treysa…. Ido love Gen's patterns… have made 3. ❤❤….. those LI can be a pain…. The sweater I’m knitting on now has Invisible Left and Right so you have to be on your toes so to speak xxxx
Hi from Australia again Leanne. Thank you for another lot of knits with such a lovely view. What an interesting city. Just thinking about your knit4tog’s they are much easier with a crochet hook. I am working on a summer knit. The Brookline Blouse by Kate Gardin of Mezzo Makes. I am using some old but very nice stash yarn from my KnitCrate sub. Happy flying and hope you have a lovely few days off. 😊🧡 Christine, misschiversstitches.
Sorry for so many messages but sometimes es I stop and do something so that by the end of the video I’ve forgotten what I wanted to say 😂😂… love you Balaclava and can't wait to see your thegither shawl xxxxxxxx
I just found you and I’m enjoying your podcasts so much! Thought I would answer your question on what I’m knitting on! I’m currently knitting the Drift cowl by Heidi & Lana using her homestead worsted weight! It’s such a fun and easy knit and I’m really enjoying it! My knitting has been slowed down as I recover from breaking my upper arm in our last ice storm we had in mid-January here in Portland, Oregon! Looking forward to your next video!!!
Welcome Barbara! Thanks for watching!Oh dear an arm injury! The knitter’s worst nightmare. Glad you’re still knitting and on the mend. Sorry for the way i pronounced OreGONE 😆
Thank you for the tour of Vancouver, it’s one of my favourite cities! Love your new cowl Leanne! The colours for your test knit with Amy are gorgeous together and I look forward to seeing the plaid come together. I purchased some Scottish Yarn Festival yarn while I attend the festival in September. I haven’t decided what to knit yet. Agreed, Wet Coast Wools has a wonderful selection of woolly wools as well as Black Sheep Yarns in Port Moody, I’m a fan of Urban Yarns as well. I have joined the KAL at Stash and knitting The Sheep Camp sweater. I’m so pleased so far and just about finished the colourwork yoke. I’m knitting with John Arbon DK purchased at Black Sheep Yarns. I love your bright green colourwork Fletching sweater, so happy for you, 3rd times the charm. As always, looking forward to the next podcast. Enjoy your few days off, happy knitting.
Pausing to comment on the cowl! My husband bought be a beautiful skein of BFL at Christmas and I've been looking for something special to make with it. This might be it!
Beautiful cowl. Love the green. On a side note, I have to chuckle at the irony. We live in a world that focuses on “inclusion” and yet cities can hike prices which make it 100% impossible for specific groups of people to purchase homes. Seems a bit intentional IMO. Kinda like in America where our Southern boarder is wide open while the “Big Folks” live in gated and guarded communities. Anyways…just making an observation. Thank you for another lovely trip. ♥️
I am working on my first Jennifer Beale, the Juniper Brook. It's fascinating, and I think she's a genius. I'm pretty sure I'll have one of her patterns on the needles from here on out!
Right now I'm working on a Winter Morning headband by Kalura Hudson, for a friend. With Drops Wish, a super bulky, so I'm hoping it'll be done shortly. I was going to make it for myself at some point, but my friend needs it more. I'm also working on my Cozy Classic Raglan. The shoulders seem way wide, but it will be a sweatshirt-ey sweater for me anyway. After that, I plan on casting on the Snow Wonder by Heidi Kirrmaier with one strand of a pale, almost white Nutiden and one strand Lang Lace Lame, it'll be my holiday sweater for next year. I just want to say how inspiring you are with all your colourwork knits, I hope to one day get into more colourwork, and maybe learn to love it too. I love your podcast! Although I'm Canadian, from London Ontario, I totally forgot that Victoria is the capital of BC! Safe travels and happy knitting! 💗
Thank you for your podcast of where I live! I’m actually making the Scarflette by Justyna Lorkowska in Sweet Georgia yarn in the Brass colour. Love all your knits!
I am nuts for that Amy Palko tartan cowl and can't wait for her to release it. I think she said that she's releasing it around March 21st. It will be interesting to see it in your subdued colors. I want to make it in bright/deep colors.
Loved your video…as always. Victoria is on my bucket list. This gardener wants to see the gardens. I am working on Rebel cardigan with Woolstok. Planned to do Kallias but when I looked closely, I felt it may tend to fall off the shoulder. The Rebel has something of a shawl collar so better choice. I am doing the color banding like the Kallias so something of a mashup. Can’t decide if I like Paxatawney Phil’s early spring forecast. I need more winter to wear my woolies.
You will see that the provisional cast on with the barber cord is really easy and great. Thanks for bringing back memories of our trip to Vancouver a couple of years ago. My husband and I really fell in love with this city. The coastland cowl landed on my to do list, shame on you 😊
Loved today, your knits are fabulous. So much love in those stitches as well all the happy. I made over half a dozen of Balaclavas ( helmet liners they were called), during the Iraq War for our Servicemen. The call went out to knitters…. As in history of knitters who knit for our brave during past wars…. As I understand it they were often times in sheer frigid temps holding positions against the enemy. I just had to do something. The preferred colors as well as regulation colors were green, dark green or Black. I knit them all in Black… 220 Cascade -- a hearty wool to warm up the recipient. They went with a prayer for protection and a prayer for Peace. So I certainly loved your balaclava. Watched today as I wet blocked my Corrie in Poncho.i as well finally finished the Purl Soho Two Tone Mistake Scarf for my husband. Took time…. Now going to do a Tolsta Tee. The Scotland scarf colors are nice. I will be following along on that one. Thank you for today.
Haha I went to the 86 Expo, wow that was a long time ago but still memorable. The 3D movie was brand new that year, and I saw one about birds flying and I felt like I was flying with them!!
The sound was perfect Leanne no worries ❤ I love to see your fletching finished now I want to cast one on. The beautiful cowl is all my taste. Thank you for showing us around in Vancouver
Your new cowl is lovely, so wearable. As ever, thank you so much for your lovely footage of Vancouver, which we visited in 2016, so many Happy memories 😊 Your Treysta also looks fine 👍 I’m currently knitting on Corbis sweater by Natasja Hornby, a very different design from what I have knitted so far 😊 See you next time.
Hi Klan Leanne 🤣 that made me laugh. I love tartan and at once I started to think of what colours I'd have. It's so lovely to watch your podcast and to visit places in Canada and their yarn stores. On my needles is a pair of slippers the pattern Doble tøfler from sandes = dubble slippers. They are knitted and then felted and folded in on themself to create the slipper. I never felted anything (intentionally) before so it's exiting.
@@theknittystew The slippers turned out great. I washed the slippers on a 40 degree regular cycle with wool soap for 1,5 hour with a towel. They was still too big so I threw them in the dryer for about 20 min and I checked after ten min. It was little fiddly to turn them inside themselves and to smooth them out. I had them on my feet still a little damp for like 30 min to shape them. They are so soft and warm and cuddly. Looks store bought in my opinion. I'm going to knit more of these slippers.
Thank you for your nice podcast. Love the green sweater nice colourwork and colour. I’m knitting on sweater no15 . Beautiful infinity cowl by Amy , i have to make that one ! I think you should take a look at the Lunenburg pullover , i loved to knit that one !
Oh my! the denim jumpsuit brings back the 70's! Terrible when nature calls though!!🚽😄 On that note, Gastown was much better in the 70's as well, just not the same place anymore, aside from the clock. I have to thank you for the Autumn Cowl recommend.....finished mine in Sadnes Garn Double Sunday and it is luscious! Fits like a dream and that yarn is one of my new favourites , so soft and just the right amount of warm. It was a very soothing knit. Hugs from Vancouver Island ❣
Hahahahah, yes, I'm short too. You started the podcast off with a great chuckle for us. thanks. I had my speed on 75 % as Rebecca speaks so fast so I forgot and suddenly thought -OH MY GOSH, you must be unwell! hahahahahahaha. Nope, just get it on the right speed, Lu! off to watch the rest! L x
Great podcast - enjoyed seeing your knits and a glimpse of Vancouver. Have you see the latest Jennifer Beale - isle Valen. One look and I bought the pattern and yarn.
Am working on the coorie in poncho also from Amy I love the tartan cowl am in edinburgh and my maiden name was campbell a famous clan so may need to knit it too Safe journey home x
Hello from Ontario and thanks for yet another lovely podcast. Your tour of beautiful Vancouver showed westcoast air where my son got his first job after flight school in Abbotsford… that brought back a lot of memories. 🥹 LOVE!!! your cowl and will be putting it in my favourites immediately. I was thinking that your leftover Treysta sweater yarn would make a perfectly coordinating sweater for your doll’s onesie 🤭 so cute! Your little mug suits your little self. Happy flying and knitting.
Hi. I've been watching awhile. Love the travel guide aspect of your podcasts. I too just finished my first musselbrough hat and i love it. I'm in the process of knitting the Fancy sweater by the lamb & kid using their big birdie yarn. Going really quickly. It's great. Easy and floofy.
It's always a treat to knit along with you Leanne! February is a month of small projects that I'm trying to finish up. A pair of socks for a friend, a pair of Latvian style mittens which are way too tight for me, so will be gifted to a little girl I know, a balaklava (yes, me too! Just for kicks!) and a pretty scarf that I test knitted last month for Salt City Knits and enjoyed enough to start another one. Oh also working on an Advent kal, socks in which I knit one section a month to be completed for next Christmas. So much to knit, so little time! I’m hoping to cast on a Lopi sweater very soon.

“Far from perfect, but perfect from afar” is now my knitting mantra! I love all your projects but that green in your Fletchling and all colors in your Treysta are beautiful. 😍
💖💗☺️
Thank you for including Once Upon a Sheep in your listing of Metro Vancouver yarn shops. I'm one of the volunteers. Once Upon Sheep is a non-profit LYS supporting children's camp and education. We are easier to reach if you fly in Abbotsford. I'd be happy to give you a tour of the region including my floating home on the Fraser River in Langley. Moved here after 22 years in Calgary. Loving it, but miss the big blue sky of Alberta! Am catching up on your earlier vlogs, so lovely and informative. Great Canadian content Leanne. I feel like I know you. Cynth
Hi Cynth this is such a lovely message! A floating home on the Fraser River amazing! Nice to meeting you :)
Love your Coastline Cowl and you Andrea Cowl…. I also love your Musselburgh hat ❤❤❤ ….. long knit though!!!!
My darling husband has requested a Musselburgh in black !! Gah!! I love him to death but we are in the midst of colour negotiations.
Leanne, your green sweater…..Mike drop! And the Coastland Cowl-lovely! I love the neutral colours of your Jen Steingas sweater. Wish I could wear Letlopi. Love love love your colours for Amy’s test knit. Can’t wait to see it. I am just finishing my Weekender (which I had to rip out and start again as it was ginormous- lol).
Oh and thanks for showing Vancouver in all its glory. I live in Kamloops (do you ever fly here? We now have a new yarn shop which I have yet to check out). My siblings live at the coast and on the Island, so I visit Vancouver regularly.
The prop planes (Encore) fly to YKA, but I don’t work on that aircraft type so wouldn’t get a layover there. What is the name of the new yarn shop?
Loved the trip to Vancouver!! The yarn store was so pretty and what a cute name. The green and white color work looks so perfect and I couldn’t even notice the color work mistakes!! I was spinning while watching❤
Thank you Jillian! Happy spinning to you. I saw what you’re spinning on IG wow guuuurl 🤩 Amazing
Fabulous as always 💕 your green cowl is lovely and that colour 💚 I love your onesie, never had a jumpsuit but love them each time I see them. Thanks for the fun, happy knitting, Karen 🥰
Thank you Karen! You would rock a onesie if anyone could!
Hello from Vancouver! So fun to see your tour of my city and glad you visited my favourite local yarn shop. It is so interesting to see a visitor’s perspective of the place where I live.
I love your knitting and travel podcast so much ❤. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you for the tour! No worries about the extra brown stitches - just duplicate stitch with the white yarn over them. No one will ever know. ;)

Blessings Leanne . . . thank you for your lovely and encouraging podcast! I enjoyed every minute of it. Especially the being short part. Please don't edit I like you just the way you are. I was encouraged by the, "Far from perfect. Perfect from afar". So true!! Plan to tell myself that from now on whenever the mistake is visible only to another knitter. I am enjoying knitting, "Chevy's Mitts" by designer Sandra Buzza from Edmonton. Journey's mercies and joy in your knitting. With appreciation, Sarah
Thank you Sarah! What a lovely message! 💖
Loving all your knits Leanne. I bought the Coastland Cowl today! I am nearly finished my second Musselburgh. My son snaffled the first one I knitted and he will currently be wearing it in Vancouver where he is working right now (up on the Sunshine Coast). Vancouver is a beautiful city, but so expensive to live there. Your colourwork sweaters are beautiful too. I’ve just purchased a couple from The Petite Knitter in her recent sale. So many lovely designs out there. Need more pairs of hands! I think Amy Palko is a genius to have come up with tartan knitting, and I look forward to seeing your Thegither project. Always enjoy your company, and even although I don’t always leave a comment, I always leave a thumbs up. 👍😊🏴
Thank you for your thumbs up and for your message today!! 😃
Finally playing catch up and what a pleasure it was to spend some time with you and your knits 🤗 I really love Anniina's bandana cowl 😍 I don't currently have any bandana cowls in my wardrobe but have been meaning to make some as I feel like they are so wearable. Hooray for diving in and learning so many new techniques Leanne! Isn't knitting so wonderful that way--there's always something new to learn and try 🤗 Your colourwork sweater is so beautiful and I can't wait to see it on! Off to watch your latest episode now 🤗💕
Bandana cowls are probably my most worn accessories. My most worn one is definitely Andrea Mowry’s Shift in BT Loft. Thank you so much for watching!
Love your Fletching 💚
Hi Leanne , I'm knitting hubby a hat cause I can't find 1 big enough for his head 😂 . We're skiing in Italy and I found a good priced italian wool shop, now I'm happy. 😊
Oh wow! That sounds amazing! My husband just asked me for a Musselburgh… in black! Umm
LisaR: Wow ❤ Fetching sweater color work beauty! Great projects :) I just ordered more yarn from woolentwine . I "had " to bc I was finally using last years instead of just admiring it ! Amy palko? YES! Laura's provisional cast on with Barber cord is a " WHAAT?!" Moment . Easy , fast & another great use for barber cord . Enjoy all the great knitting plans & thanks for sharing .
So tempting!! I want all of Jule’s yarn!!
Hi Leanne, it’s always a pleasure to watch and listen to your podcast. Urban Yarns is in Vancouver, The Knit and Stitch Shoppe is in West Vancouver, Squamish has a new knitting store called Sweet Threads Yarn and Fibre.
Thank you so much Lynda! This has all gone into my notes!!!!
love the colour contrast in your Fletching Leanne, giving all the spring vibes. But i also really like the colours you've chosen for your Treysta, classic and everyday wearable. I'm curerntly working on a Matthew pullover and a hat.
Thank you so much! I have one arm to go and the bottom hem of My Fletching. I’ve been a newsletter subscriber and watcher of Aime Sher’s channel, but never made any of her designs. I like the look of the Matthew Pullover. What are you knitting it in?
@@theknittystew ooh, so close! I really like Aime Sher's designs and the detail she puts into her look books so you know what to expect when you buy the pattern. I'm making it in Toft Aran in a really light grey colour.
Hello Leanne! That Vancouver yarn shop looked lovely! I put that balaclava in my favourites. That might be super useful when walking my dog. Toques, while I love them, don't like to stay put or if I snug them closer to my head, push my glasses down my nose. I have just finished a pair of vanilla socks with yarn from Rosa Pomar and Songbird Yarns. I am sadly STILL working on my husband's Slade Pullover that was SUPPOSED to be a Christmas gift. Clearly underestimated the time required to make it! Oh, well. I should be done by end Feb. Then, and only then, can I cast on something new. Happy travels!
Balaclavas for everyone!! 😂
@@theknittystew 😂
You DIDNT have to alternate hanks on the hand dyed 😮 *jaw drops* amazing! So beautiful
Tyler definitely has a unique skill when it comes to hand-dyeing… seriously ZERO pooling.
Baaad Anna's is a great name for a yarn store. Love it and loved the footage!
Enjoyed hearing and seeing the Vancouver information. It is a city that I have thought of moving to. The prices are a little high so it will take some serious planning to make that happen. 😉
I always like to watch your podcast when things have quieted down here and there are no interruptions so I can "ooh" and "aah" at all your beautiful FOs and WIPs. This episode was another satisfying watch and I thank you so much for sharing what you've done, are doing and will do in the future. 😉❤
Thank you so much! I could never afford to live in Vancouver.
Hi Leanne. Urban yarns is a must see yarn shop. They have 2 shoos One in North Van and the other in the UBC area. Love the footage of my city. Great knitting you are doing.
Hello Linda 👋🏼 I have added Urban Yarns to my notes for future visits!! Thanks 😊
Hi Leanne, not sure what happened to my first comment (oh well)...I watched your video and was so pleased to see you here in YVR. I too work in the airline industry (Westjet) at the airport as a check-in agent and YVR is my home. If you ever make your way back here please let me know (if I'm not working) I'd be happy to take some time to show you to some of our other yarn stores...maybe Sweet Georgia yarns...they are just down the road from my place and close to the airport. No transit or Uber necessary. Enjoy watching your podcasts and look forward to seeing your next travel and yarn adventures.
Hiiiiii 👋🏼 Terri fellow knitter and WJer! Thanks for this message! 🤩 Please flag me down if you see me in YVR, and I’ll watch for you too.
As always, another enjoyable podcast! I love to see where you are and the local yarn shops! I will definitely be looking for the Coastland Cowl on Ravelry. And, your green sweater is lovely! I like to have 2 projects going, but for some reason I am making fingerless mitts as gifts, a Moby slipover with lots of cables and texture, a Lego blanket for my grandson, Ambah O'Brien cowls with Advent leftovers for gifts, fixing a sweater for a friend, and I want to start the Paper Daisy MKAL in March!! Yikes!!
So much goodness happening yay!!! 😁
I'm glad you came in for a visit! Can't wait to watch your next episode!!!!
Thanks for having me Mady!
I really enjoy your podcasts and have been here from the start. I have only been in Vancouver once to board a ship for Alaska. Best trip ever!
That is awesome! Thanks for being here from the beginning Marilyn!!
Lovely to catch your podcast Leanne! I just came back from a trip to Uruguay and got to visit Manos del Uruguay shop and outlet, where I bought the most gorgeous yarns! Your knits are lovely! ❤ Good to see you are in Vancouver, where I live. 😊. HAPPY FLYING!
Mano del Urguay shop and outlet OH MY GOODNESS!!! I’ll bet you came back with some amazing yarns 💖💖💖
Hi Leanne,
This was such a great episode. I loved all the footage of Vancouver.
I loved the Coastline Cowl, I will definitely be casting one on before the weather changes. Loved your Mussleburgh, the yarn was gorgeous. It's one of my favorite hats to knit.
The Flechling is so pretty, your yarn colors are so vibrant. I was really impressed with your stranded colorwork using the knitting thimble and not stressing over floats. I was wondering if you would go into more detail and recommend some tutorials that would be helpful. Your Treysta is going to be so beautiful.
Take care
Helloooo I figured out how to use my Norwegian Knitting thimble from watching an excellent TH-cam tutorial by Dank Fiber on here :)
Hi Leanne. I loved the footage of Vancouver. It's a beautiful city. Your colourwork wips are great. Isn't colourwork just so addictive? 😂 I've just finished my Artus shawl. I'm nearly finished my Art deko sweater, and am knitting my 10 yr old daughter an Eva cardigan junior. Yes, I want to cast on ALL the things too.
Happy knitting.
That shawl is gorgeous!
Your podcast is delightful!
Great podcast. You do such a great job and are so easy to listen to. And inspiring! I want to knit all the things too!!! I just finished I think my 17th Musselburgh, if you can believe it. I have a big family and that's the hat that EVERYONE WANTS!!! Friends too. Great travel knitting. Mindless and portable. I do a regular long tail cast on. It always looks great. Tonight I cast on a pair of Let's Stay Home Socks by Nancy Wheeler. I'm using a sock kit from
Barrett Wool Co. It's great feeling yarn! Kind of earthy and hand spun feeling or something like that. I'm loving it. Happy knitting! ❤
A Nancy Wheeler pattern and Barrett Wool Co yarn = heaven!!
I’m working on Amy’s Coorie-In Poncho at the moment, and it’s making me very excited. It’s starting to feel a little like Autumn here where I live in Australia, and I can’t wait to Coorie-In! I have a gloriously cloud-like blend of wool and mohair, and it feels so indulgent in my hands.
On a completely different note, I was in Vancouver in October 2009, just as the city was getting ready to host the Winter Olympics. It had the most fun vibe, and I’d dearly love to get back there one day.
Wonderful! Happy Knitting Jody!
Your Coastline Cowl looks great. 🧶I can't unsee the cat bum in my Musselburgh Hat now. 😂😹 Thanks for the Vancouver tour! I worked on a test knit while watching.
Haha! Thanks Roshelle 💗💗
Hey Leanne! Thanks for the shoutout! Love love love everything you’re working on, and those Letlopi colours you picked are SO gorgeous!! I had the same reaction to Charity’s jumpsuit and am so glad you put a link here to the one you got - hope you don’t mind being jumpsuit twins 😂😂 Ps. I’ve never heard the saying “far from perfect but perfect from afar”, I absolutely love it ❤❤
I’m into it!! Jumpsuit twins!! I am replying to some of the comments saying I should have mentioned it takes a little bit of time to go to the bathroom lol
I just learned how to do my first tubular cast on , by watching three different videos. Makes me happy to challenge myself 😂 working on the Luz Cardigan with a beautiful periwinkle cornflower blend with a kidsilk mohair . Another first for me 💙🧶💫 happy to see you Leanne , here😅
That is awesome!
Leanne I love that cowl- great idea for Xmas gifts for next year- no fitting problems! Great podcast!
👌🏼 thanks Donna
So glad you finally got a long layover in Vancouver! Baaad Annas was a good choice for your tour. Wet Coast has all the Norwegian woolly wools, but its stock occupies a tiny footprint that might have been harder (and a lot quicker) to film in. Three Bags Full no longer has a shopfront in Vancouver; they have an online store now, and the owners moved to Ottawa. Next time you're in the area, you could take in both Wet Coast and Urban Yarns, not too far apart from each other. (Both on the west side of town, anyway.) I love your yoke sweaters, and that cowl looks dreamy!
Thank you Wendy!!
You were in my city, Vancouver. It's lucky you got a nice day.
I feel like you, ready to cast on everything. I'm making a Poetry pullover by Sari Nordlund, which is a gorgeous item, and a shetland colourwork sweater by Gudrun Johnson called Yokey Dokey, and a cumulus tee by petite knits. Then I wanted to try some Sandnes garn yarn, so I bought just one skein and am going to make a little sophie scarf to see what all the fuss is about. You said it's the popular woolly wool at the Wet coast wool shop and that's what it is I guess. That's my LYS.
Urban yarns is one of my favourites.
I will have to check it out !!
@@theknittystew West 10th heading tp UBC
I love your fletching, it’s so cheerful! The colour work looks perfect. Blocking is a magic trick! 😂 Your WIPs and FOs have inspired me although I’m trying not to cast on everything and buy every pattern because I have a pretty big library now 😂 I am working on the Barren Land sweater using Crux Fibres Canadian unspun. I’m nearly done the body - getting excited to have it done. I just cast on the Granny Cardigan by Joji Locatelli using Crux Fibres DK in the ptarmigan colourway. It’s turning out fantastic! Thanks for your podcast, it’s always enjoyable😊
I love Vancouver, wouldn’t want to live there but it’s a great place to visit, particularly in the winter. You are so so lucky to get a beautiful day!😊
We have a lot in common 😊!!
always happy to see your new videos in my feed! FYI Oregon is pronounced or-eh-gun (not or-eh-gone). 😊. And that green sweater is gorgeous!!
Love Jenn’s designs Beautiful colors
Vancouver has been home for 17 years now and I still feel lucky to live here every day! Baaad Anna's is my LYS but I purchase more from Wet Coast Wools, Your Next Knit and Black Sheep Yarns. Urban Yarn also has a nice selection.
I am in North Van now but my dentist is still in Kitsilano close to Wet Coast Wools. I make sure never to schedule any dentist appointments on a Monday 😆 Knitting on my Super Selene in Nutiden while watching your podcast.
You are a true knitter … we plan appointments around yarn shop hours. Especially dental ones👌🏼
Hi Leanne! here from Mid-Michigan. I enjoy your podcast and knits so much! It makes me want to knit "ALL OF THE STUFF" I will be knitting your bandanna cowl, it is gorgeous. I'm still knitting on the INGRID sweater by Petite knits. I'm almost halfway finished on the last sleeve. was making it for my husbands birthday feb. 2nd and hopefully be done by feb. 16. Just 2 weeks late🤣.see you soon on the next podcast.
You can do it!
I’m working on the Coffee Break Socks from the Charming Colorwork Socks Book. They are fun! Give them a whirl ❤
Hi! I just flew into Calgary for a few days. I brought a Musselburgh hat and a couple of pairs of socks to work on.
👌🏼
Hi Leanne, I appreciate you taking us along on your stopovers across Canada. Vancouver is such a beautiful city, I had to opportunity to visit the city twice and am looking forward to my next visit. I am currently working on a test for Tamy Gore of Narrow Path Designs and the Anthology Throw by Helen Stewart.
Happy knitting.😊
I want to try Tamy Gore designs!
@@theknittystew Tamy currently has a test knit call out currently. Check her out.
Thanks for the video of the Vancouver area. I lived in the Aldergrove area for 4 years so it was all familiar. Never had the opportunity to go to Baad Anna’s but maybe next time we go back to the area to visit family
Greater Vancouver Regional District doesn’t cross the Fraser River toSurrey, La grey, Abbotsford and my home Chilliwack. Great to see you got good weather. Always inspired by your knits. I’m working on a Tecumseh sweater in Tanis Fibre Arts by Boyland Knitworks and a Celestarium shawl by Audrey Nicklin in Julie Asselin Leisu Fingering.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Leanne thank you for your podcast, I like it very much, very inspiring. I am making the traveller shawl from Andrea Mowry. I am using my self spun yarn. It becomes very colourful. It is nice to use my own spun yarn. Have a nice flight home. Happy knitting from the Netherlands, Christianne
That sounds amazing!! Happy Traveller Shawl knitting to you with your beautiful handspun in the Netherlands!!
It's lovely to see another video from you and checking out Vancouver. I am knitting the Paloma top by Truly Myrtle in a lovely merino linen blend. trying to finish while it's still summer
Thank you for another awesome podcast. You are by far my favorite! Good luck with the new cast on. I am in the throes of many WIPS which I must resolve. A sweater from a KAL with Tayler Earl of Wool Needles Hands, The Bavaria shawl, I tried a musselbrough which is still on the needles but it is looking huge….so not sure…but I hate to frog! And some mitts too. I am pretty obsessed with mitts these days and want to try some of the more fancy colorwork ones too. Yikes.
Thank you Cheryl!! You’ve got some great projects on the go!!
Vancouver is such a special city. ❤ I have had many happy visits with fiber friends there. So glad you made it and can share with everyone here. Congrats on your mattress stitch success! I’m still avoiding seaming 😅 May Knitty Stew followers be adopted into Clan Leanne??
I’m trying to convince myself that my mattress stitch looks as good as my usual whip stitch,.. but honestly it’s it’s debatable 😂. AND YES!!! Welcome to Clan Leanne… tartan colours are sheepy
I so enjoy seeing the various places you overnight in, so thank you for sharing. I love the comfort of a “mono” (that’s what they call the onesies/jumpsuits here in Ecuador). Currently working on my Riptide Slipover but have yarn wound and waiting for the Varma by Sari Nordlund. It’s seamed which is something I’ve avoided up to now. Enjoy your time off and look forward to seeing the next episode.
Thank you Sharon 😊
The riptide slipover looks awesome 👏🏼
Hej Leanne, I will also knit Amy‘s Tartan-Cowl. But I have to wait til march, when it will be released. Thanks for your Vancouver-Episode.
Yay!!
Thank you for another lovely episode. Try to soak your lettlopi-sweater in hot water
and hairconditioner. It worked super for me, now I can wear mine next to skin😊
Thanks for the tip! I will try that!
Hello! I always love your podcasts. I was working on the second sleeve (!!) of the Matthew pullover by Amy Sher while listening/watching. I only have 3 decreases left to the ribbing! There were a few moments of confusion, but there is great pattern support for which I was grateful. The Treysta has been on my list for a while, but that might be a 2025 project. I'm pretty sure I have more than enough plans for 2024.
We all need more months in the year to knit all the things hey!
Love your podcast and laughed out loud about "if you're short" ... Glad you didn't edit😂
😁 Haha! Yay! Tall, short, and anywhere in between welcome here!!!
Hi Leanne! Thanks for this episode and the nice tour of Vancouver! I'd love to visit this beautiful city! Actually, I have 3 more active projects: the Apero sweater by Tricot Design MCL, the Nola cardigan by Yamagara (we make a KAL with some of my knitting friends). It's my first time doing intarsia and I'm not sure that I really enjoy that... and when I have to take a break of intarsia, I work on some felted slippers. First time with that technique too. I'm almost done with the knitting part. Hope the fit will be good after the "felting" part... to be continued ;-) Bye!
Leanne I love your Coastland cowl. Thank you for taking us to Vancouver, I really enjoyed the trip. I also love your quote ‘Far from perfect, but perfect from afar’ thanks again. ❤
Thanks so much Eleanor!
I was happy to see your podcast come up in my feed! You're in Vancouver where my daughter currently resides! I love the Coastland Cowl!! Definitely will go on my list to make. I made Treysta and wear it quite often. The colours you chose are lovely.
💖👋🏼
You are such an inspiration! Thank you! I am working on finishing WIPS and it is bringing me such joy! (I do cast on new socks though for car knitting!) ❤
Wonderful! Thank thank you :) Happy Knitting!!
Hello Leanne, thanks for the tour of Vancouver and the yarn shop. Loving your knits, that green shade is beautiful and suits you.😊
Thank you ☺️ 🤗
Love all of your FOs and WIPs.
My current knit project is the mount robson pullover by Jessie McKitrick in 100 Knits. It's a cartridge rib pattern with saddle shoulders. Started January 1st and since it's fingering weight wool, it seems like I'll never get it finished for my husband. Thanks goodness he's a medium size! Lol.
My future dream knit is the Milton by Joji Locateli. It calls for a very fine silk mohair however i really like some suri silk from a local dyer.
So many projects, so little time + hands.
Many thanks from Winnipeg.
Hi to you in YWG Valerie !! That Mount Robson pullover looks amazing!! Such a classic knit. Do you have Interweave’s Ultimate Pattern Collection?
@@theknittystew I just borrowed the book from the library. The rib pattern is so easy to memorize. Knitting the sleeves 2 at a time is what's really testing my patience. At least I won't suffer from second sleeve syndrome.
Hi Leanne. I live in the GVRD, and really enjoyed your episode! ❤ You might not have mentioned Urban Yarns out near UBC. It’s a good LYS too! I always get gift cards from Wet Coast Wools from my family 🥰🥰🥰. I’m just finishing a musselburgh hat too. I might be playing some yarn chicken like you - working in decreases and there isn’t much yarn left!!! 😭
Thanks for the info Sharon!! I’ll have to check out Urban Yarns!!
Love your Treysa…. Ido love Gen's patterns… have made 3. ❤❤….. those LI can be a pain…. The sweater I’m knitting on now has Invisible Left and Right so you have to be on your toes so to speak xxxx
Hi from Australia again Leanne. Thank you for another lot of knits with such a lovely view. What an interesting city. Just thinking about your knit4tog’s they are much easier with a crochet hook. I am working on a summer knit. The Brookline Blouse by Kate Gardin of Mezzo Makes. I am using some old but very nice stash yarn from my KnitCrate sub. Happy flying and hope you have a lovely few days off. 😊🧡 Christine, misschiversstitches.
👌🏼 👍🏼
Sorry for so many messages but sometimes es I stop and do something so that by the end of the video I’ve forgotten what I wanted to say 😂😂… love you Balaclava and can't wait to see your thegither shawl xxxxxxxx
No worries about that. Your multiple comments are welcome Elaine!!
I just found you and I’m enjoying your podcasts so much! Thought I would answer your question on what I’m knitting on! I’m currently knitting the Drift cowl by Heidi & Lana using her homestead worsted weight! It’s such a fun and easy knit and I’m really enjoying it! My knitting has been slowed down as I recover from breaking my upper arm in our last ice storm we had in mid-January here in Portland, Oregon! Looking forward to your next video!!!
Welcome Barbara! Thanks for watching!Oh dear an arm injury! The knitter’s worst nightmare. Glad you’re still knitting and on the mend. Sorry for the way i pronounced OreGONE 😆
Thank you for the tour of Vancouver, it’s one of my favourite cities! Love your new cowl Leanne! The colours for your test knit with Amy are gorgeous together and I look forward to seeing the plaid come together. I purchased some Scottish Yarn Festival yarn while I attend the festival in September. I haven’t decided what to knit yet. Agreed, Wet Coast Wools has a wonderful selection of woolly wools as well as Black Sheep Yarns in Port Moody, I’m a fan of Urban Yarns as well. I have joined the KAL at Stash and knitting The Sheep Camp sweater. I’m so pleased so far and just about finished the colourwork yoke. I’m knitting with John Arbon DK purchased at Black Sheep Yarns. I love your bright green colourwork Fletching sweater, so happy for you, 3rd times the charm. As always, looking forward to the next podcast. Enjoy your few days off, happy knitting.
Thank you Susan! I will definitely try to visit Urban Yarns next time 👌🏼
Pausing to comment on the cowl! My husband bought be a beautiful skein of BFL at Christmas and I've been looking for something special to make with it. This might be it!
That is awesome Mary! Great use for it I can attest.
Beautiful cowl. Love the green.
On a side note, I have to chuckle at the irony. We live in a world that focuses on “inclusion” and yet cities can hike prices which make it 100% impossible for specific groups of people to purchase homes.
Seems a bit intentional IMO. Kinda like in America where our Southern boarder is wide open while the “Big Folks” live in gated and guarded communities.
Anyways…just making an observation.
Thank you for another lovely trip. ♥️
Great point!
I am working on my first Jennifer Beale, the Juniper Brook. It's fascinating, and I think she's a genius. I'm pretty sure I'll have one of her patterns on the needles from here on out!
I can’t wait to hear how it turns out Sandra!!
Right now I'm working on a Winter Morning headband by Kalura Hudson, for a friend. With Drops Wish, a super bulky, so I'm hoping it'll be done shortly. I was going to make it for myself at some point, but my friend needs it more. I'm also working on my Cozy Classic Raglan. The shoulders seem way wide, but it will be a sweatshirt-ey sweater for me anyway. After that, I plan on casting on the Snow Wonder by Heidi Kirrmaier with one strand of a pale, almost white Nutiden and one strand Lang Lace Lame, it'll be my holiday sweater for next year. I just want to say how inspiring you are with all your colourwork knits, I hope to one day get into more colourwork, and maybe learn to love it too. I love your podcast! Although I'm Canadian, from London Ontario, I totally forgot that Victoria is the capital of BC! Safe travels and happy knitting! 💗
🤜🏼🤛🏼
Hi, Leanne, I'm with you on the suri silk fluff over silk-mohair. I'm holding LBA's Kumo with Woolffolk Far. Dreamy! Fabulous, though $$$.
Yes I think I’m ruined now.. no more mohair for me. Cha-Ching!!
Thank you for your podcast of where I live! I’m actually making the Scarflette by Justyna Lorkowska in Sweet Georgia yarn in the Brass colour. Love all your knits!
That colour and knit sounds great Kim!
I am nuts for that Amy Palko tartan cowl and can't wait for her to release it. I think she said that she's releasing it around March 21st. It will be interesting to see it in your subdued colors. I want to make it in bright/deep colors.
That will be beautiful 👏🏼🤩
March 23rd. Amy's releasing it at our Scottish Wool Producers Showcase 💖
Loved your video…as always. Victoria is on my bucket list. This gardener wants to see the gardens. I am working on Rebel cardigan with Woolstok. Planned to do Kallias but when I looked closely, I felt it may tend to fall off the shoulder. The Rebel has something of a shawl collar so better choice. I am doing the color banding like the Kallias so something of a mashup. Can’t decide if I like Paxatawney Phil’s early spring forecast. I need more winter to wear my woolies.
Oh my goodness yessss I would have to say that Victoria is a gardeners dream.
You will see that the provisional cast on with the barber cord is really easy and great. Thanks for bringing back memories of our trip to Vancouver a couple of years ago. My husband and I really fell in love with this city. The coastland cowl landed on my to do list, shame on you 😊
🫶🏼👌🏼Wonderful!
Thank you for the tour of Vancover. It looks a wonderful city. The green sweater looks wonderful and the colour really suits you. 🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
Loved today, your knits are fabulous. So much love in those stitches as well all the happy. I made over half a dozen of Balaclavas ( helmet liners they were called), during the Iraq War for our Servicemen. The call went out to knitters…. As in history of knitters who knit for our brave during past wars…. As I understand it they were often times in sheer frigid temps holding positions against the enemy. I just had to do something. The preferred colors as well as regulation colors were green, dark green or Black. I knit them all in Black… 220 Cascade -- a hearty wool to warm up the recipient. They went with a prayer for protection and a prayer for Peace.
So I certainly loved your balaclava. Watched today as I wet blocked my Corrie in Poncho.i as well finally finished the Purl Soho Two Tone Mistake Scarf for my husband. Took time…. Now going to do a Tolsta Tee. The Scotland scarf colors are nice. I will be following along on that one. Thank you for today.
Thank you for your beautiful message Cindy! I love how you infused those with Peace.
Love watching your podcast! My current wip is The Weekender in Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino.
Wonderful!
Vancouver sounds beautiful. I’m knitting the LENU hood and the Carbeth Cardigan.
Good choices 😃
Lovely podcast as usual. Currently knitting the Rust Belt River Vest and crocheting bunnies for my little great-nephews.
Haha I went to the 86 Expo, wow that was a long time ago but still memorable. The 3D movie was brand new that year, and I saw one about birds flying and I felt like I was flying with them!!
How time flies!
The sound was perfect Leanne no worries ❤ I love to see your fletching finished now I want to cast one on. The beautiful cowl is all my taste. Thank you for showing us around in Vancouver
Awesome! Thank you!
Your new cowl is lovely, so wearable. As ever, thank you so much for your lovely footage of Vancouver, which we visited in 2016, so many Happy memories 😊 Your Treysta also looks fine 👍 I’m currently knitting on Corbis sweater by Natasja Hornby, a very different design from what I have knitted so far 😊 See you next time.
See you next time!!
Hi Klan Leanne 🤣 that made me laugh. I love tartan and at once I started to think of what colours I'd have. It's so lovely to watch your podcast and to visit places in Canada and their yarn stores. On my needles is a pair of slippers the pattern Doble tøfler from sandes = dubble slippers. They are knitted and then felted and folded in on themself to create the slipper. I never felted anything (intentionally) before so it's exiting.
I love the look of those folded slippers!! Let me know how they turn out!!
@@theknittystew The slippers turned out great. I washed the slippers on a 40 degree regular cycle with wool soap for 1,5 hour with a towel. They was still too big so I threw them in the dryer for about 20 min and I checked after ten min. It was little fiddly to turn them inside themselves and to smooth them out. I had them on my feet still a little damp for like 30 min to shape them. They are so soft and warm and cuddly. Looks store bought in my opinion. I'm going to knit more of these slippers.
Thank you I’ll look 😊
Thank you for your nice podcast. Love the green sweater nice colourwork and colour. I’m knitting on sweater no15 . Beautiful infinity cowl by Amy , i have to make that one !
I think you should take a look at the Lunenburg pullover , i loved to knit that one !
Oh yes the Lunenburg is definitely on my radar!!
Oh my! the denim jumpsuit brings back the 70's! Terrible when nature calls though!!🚽😄 On that note, Gastown was much better in the 70's as well, just not the same place anymore, aside from the clock. I have to thank you for the Autumn Cowl recommend.....finished mine in Sadnes Garn Double Sunday and it is luscious! Fits like a dream and that yarn is one of my new favourites , so soft and just the right amount of warm. It was a very soothing knit. Hugs from Vancouver Island ❣
I definitely agree. These are not the best for a quick bathroom breaks I wish they had a zipper. 😂
That’s the best provisional cast on. I’ll never do it any other way. Can’t wait to see the scarf done.
I’m very excited about it!
Always fun traveling with you! Thanks!
Hahahahah, yes, I'm short too. You started the podcast off with a great chuckle for us. thanks. I had my speed on 75 % as Rebecca speaks so fast so I forgot and suddenly thought -OH MY GOSH, you must be unwell! hahahahahahaha. Nope, just get it on the right speed, Lu! off to watch the rest! L x
That is awesome! 🤣 😆 Laughed out loud at this.
Loving todays podcast, my sister live in Van and I will be there for a week in May if you happen to be in town for a coffee ❤❤❤❤

Hello from Ontario and thanks for yet another lovely podcast. Your tour of beautiful Vancouver showed westcoast air where my son got his first job after flight school in Abbotsford… that brought back a lot of memories. 🥹 LOVE!!! your cowl and will be putting it in my favourites immediately. I was thinking that your leftover Treysta sweater yarn would make a perfectly coordinating sweater for your doll’s onesie 🤭 so cute! Your little mug suits your little self. Happy flying and knitting.
Wonderful message! Thank you Annie!
Love all your new cast-ons!
Thank you Anna!
Hi. I've been watching awhile. Love the travel guide aspect of your podcasts. I too just finished my first musselbrough hat and i love it. I'm in the process of knitting the Fancy sweater by the lamb & kid using their big birdie yarn. Going really quickly. It's great. Easy and floofy.
Love EASY AND FLOOFY!!
It's always a treat to knit along with you Leanne! February is a month of small projects that I'm trying to finish up. A pair of socks for a friend, a pair of Latvian style mittens which are way too tight for me, so will be gifted to a little girl I know, a balaklava (yes, me too! Just for kicks!) and a pretty scarf that I test knitted last month for Salt City Knits and enjoyed enough to start another one. Oh also working on an Advent kal, socks in which I knit one section a month to be completed for next Christmas. So much to knit, so little time! I’m hoping to cast on a Lopi sweater very soon.
So many lovely projects, Patricia!!
