I have put mine in hot water, in fact boiling water as the cord can take it and leave them in there but don't let the water go cold. Just leave it in there as long as it seems all warmed up, however, many cords still have memory and they return to their previous state so good luck.
I have to say, I knit your Gro Hat and it immediately became my favorite hat. I wear it almost every day and get compliments on it every time I leave the house. It’s beautiful, the fit is perfect, and it’s very warm. Thank you for creating such a wonderful design!
Yes, you can straighten out needle cables! You boil a kettle or pot of water, dip the cord in quickly, then hold one needle up, let the other dangle, and I just use a tea towel to dry it off from top to bottom, pulling on the cable as I go. I might repeat it a second time if it doesn't straighten out completely after the first pass. You can keep repeating this too, throughout the needle light. Just be careful not to dip the join between the cable and the needle into the water, as with some cheaper needles, you might dissolve the glue holding them together, and you'll end up wrecking them.
Hello Happy New Year to you too! I also have felted wool slippers, mine are a paler grey than yours. I so love your new hat pattern, I don't wear hats normally but really want to make this one!
Have you tried Lantern Moon needles? They are wood but wrapped in carbon, I think, to strengthen them. They may be quieter than steel but they're cords are good and don't warp. They have fixed and swivel cords. I think Lantern Moons are often overlooked. Love your designs!
Thank you , the hat is so sweet ... I like to learn new patters, never did that wool wrapping thing. I also have Glerup slippers with cold floors they are really wonderful -I slipped sometimes into my shoes and stepped down the heel now the felting is broken .... have a good moving time, well organized is key (in my opinion) prepared finger food, lots of helpers, Grandparents... little preparation in advance in the new house, no rush and a positive mindset helped me a lot to make it a beautiful experience.
Hi Laerke! Love your podcasts and they often keep me company when I have insomnia and knit away. I’m planning on finally buying some patterns from you very soon. I know you made this hat pattern in one size but do you think you could write a toddler hat pattern for this? Or give some advice on what you would do for an almost 24 month old. I think this would be a cute hat for my niece. I’m always planning new knits for me, my SIL, or my niece now! (And others in the family too)
I’m looking forward to knitting the Gro hat. Yours is beautiful! Your new pattern is going to be on my wish list! I love the little flowers. It looks so soft and pretty!
Lovely to see a podcast from you! I love your Gro hat - I made two back to back and gifted one to my mother in law for her birthday. So lovely. Your small scarf/neckerchief is sweet and I think the idea of scaling it up to make it into a shawl is a fun one.
This is an adorable hat pattern! I casted it on the day after you released and knitted it for a dear friend. She LOVES it and receives many compliments on it. I attribute it to your beautiful design more than my knitting. Well done. ❤️
Dear Lærke, I am so happy for your your new episode. As I gave birth to baby no 3 three weeks ago I have some time holding/carrying/nursing and watch your vlog (5 minutes at a time). I started the Gro hat last week and I am almost done and I love it 😀! I am holding Ölands ullcentrum tvåtrådig and hjeholts single together and it turns out just perfect. Love from the Swedish West Coast
I knitted your gro hat and it was such an enjoyable knit! I made it as a gift for my sister with the hiedra set, all in retrosaria soft donegal held double/triple. Love your patterns
Lærke your hair looks fabulous! Is the hat hard for a semi beginner knitter? I can’t wait to see your house plans/remodel/painting etc. I hope you’re able to sneak away for a bit to the yarn festival!
Nice to see you back, dear Laerke!!❤ I will need the Gro Hat to match the beautiful Gro Shawl, that you gave me the opportunity for test knitting!!😊Greetings from Argentina! Vik (with new account)
Just place the cable in a dish with some depth, like a baking pan or rimmed cookie sheet and pour very hot water over. Sometimes I use a spoon to move the cable a bit just to get the kinks out. Then fish them out and attach to your needles. This method works wonders with my seeknit cords.
Really love your patterns. I am a good way through knitting the Vildnis sweater, and will probably follow with the gro hat. The sweater is a delight to knit. I've been a knitter for over 60 years having learned at two years old. So it was lovely to be challenged with some new techniques. The textures are great. I had to close my wool shop last August but now that I've discovered all the amazing young podcasters like your self it is a real joy.
Your hat pattern is beautiful! I always look forward to hearing about your projects and designs. I would love to see the separate channel with your house plans and home designs. Thank you!
Fåborg will be such a nice setting for a yarn festival, I can just imagine it!! A lovely little town - we had to leave for Svendborg just before the jazz festival last summer and wished we could have stayed, but maybe next time :) I hope you make it to the yarn fest... Good luck packing up for your move and getting ready, it's always a big job. Thanks for making the time for a podcast!
Hi Laerke! Love your podcasts and always look forward to your new episodes. I was just wondering about a beautiful vest/slipover style garment you were working on. It really captured my attention and I was hoping you would release it as a pattern but I've not heard anything about it for a while. I think it was in your previous episode before Christmas and was maybe in the design/production stage? It was a creamy white colour and had stunning embroidery on it. I really hope that it is something you intend to release because it was simply beautiful
Jeg tror at en bok av deg ville vært utrolig fin 😊 jeg håper at denne drømmen blir realitet en dag. Gleder meg til denne serien om flytting og interiør du planlegger, det blir sikkert spennende. Lykke til med hele flyttinga!
Hi, Lærke! I just wanted to reach out and ask if the floral lace kerchief you showed in this episode ever made it past the design stage? I have some special yarn that I've set aside for it, and am keeping my fingers crossed! Thank you!
I just purchased your Gro hat pattern. I think there may be a mistake starting with the first round of the chart. I have worked it several times. Can you please let me know? Thanx
Yes, a kerchief, that is perfect for our australian weather! These big shawls are just too hot so yay for this little one.
I have put mine in hot water, in fact boiling water as the cord can take it and leave them in there but don't let the water go cold. Just leave it in there as long as it seems all warmed up, however, many cords still have memory and they return to their previous state so good luck.
Enchanting knit designs reflective of natural beauty.
Thank you for sharing. I love anything to do with home. Blessings.

That menas so much to hear! Thank you so much for letting me know 🤍🤍
It’s adorable. I am to the leaf/cable part but I don’t think I am understanding quite yet. I am going to take a coffee break and try again 😊🥰
Beautiful hat 🌞
Twoje projekty są przecudowne. Zainspirowałaś mnie, właśnie zaczynam chustę i już nie mogę się doczekać. Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Braunschweigu

Love the hat so much!!! It is gorgeous! Also, congrats on the house and can’t wait to hear more! 😊
I loooove your patterns. So keep on doing . I look forward to more. Knus fra Tinamajcherek
Hello Happy New Year to you too! I also have felted wool slippers, mine are a paler grey than yours. I so love your new hat pattern, I don't wear hats normally but really want to make this one!
I just spun up a wool alpaca blend in a nuetral with a peachy undertone. I think it would be perfect for the Gro Hat :)

Your knitwear is just gorgeous! I LOVE the gro hat! The pattern around it is delicate and beautiful! Thank you for a lovely podcast!
Oh, I love the tiny scarf! I would love to knit it ^.^

I always enjoy your videos, and look forward to seeing all your house plans! Warm wishes & hugs from Scotland.
Lovely to see you again...good luck with the move...hat is perfect....im hopefully moving next few months ...
It’s been a while! Thanks for catching up. Lovely everything: hat, yarn, book, and the gorgeous skovmærker. Sending Love ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful to see you and hear about all that is happening. I look forward to the next videos.

I have your gro hat pattern but I cannot start it until I finish a whip. Lol. I love your little scarf!
So excited to start knitting your Gro Hat. Will be casting on by next week! Let the Xmas knits begin! Such a lovely hat. 🧶💕

My Gro hat is currently drying 😊 I had to rip it completely and start over because it was too tight, I went up two needle sizes and fits great.
I’m looking forward to hearing about the house, also if you ever publish a book I would definitely buy it 😊.

thank you for another wonderful podcast, and the light. the sun, it just gave a warmth to the podcast.
I can see myself making your gro hat, as I love gardening! You are looking especially well in this episode! I Love the sunlight streaming in!
Cloudberry Tea by Fiber Tales would be my dream knitting. Congratulations on 15,000! 🧶
I bought the pattern for the Gro hat immediately and made two since then. One for a friend for Christmas and one for me. Use it all the time❤

I think anyone can tackle the hat if you follow the video/instructions 🤗

Your hat looks great and I'm happy to see it is so popular! Congratulations.
Yay for house plans!!!!
If you made a knitting book, I would absolutely buy it! Glad to see you back on TH-cam. Happy new year to you, your partner and your children. :)

Can’t wait to see the house episodes! I enjoyed the catch up 😃

Oh yes please! I would absolutely love an update on this vest soon!
Such a beautiful hat 🧶💗
Love the hat, definitely on my list of things to knit soon! Could you also adjust the size by adding or subtracting stitches between the seedlings?
Thanks 🥰 you could but it would change the look of the hat i feel. I prefer sizing with gauge when possible ☺️
I would be very interested in your house plans and progress.
