Ooh that plying segment was beautiful…the music, the wheel, the storm, your hair! 😁❤️
Awww thanks! 😊
Something Denise (Earthtones Girl) said once in a sock tutorial has always stayed with me: "It's not hard, it's just new." When you talked about trying new things and improving our knitting, that immediately came to mind.
I love that you didn't see how your shawl colors totally matched your room, the colors behind you (the plants, the pots, the wall hangings, the hat, the table) and are so you. Lovely color combo. It's more beautiful than Andrea's I think! (And I hope she watches your channel and sees this episode especially!)
Your smile is infectious, Kaci. Thank you for being such a joyful presence and for sharing so many beautiful makes.
Thank you for the kind words ❤
The music ! The storm ! The shawl! All amazing ❤
Thank you mom! ❤
My heart warms when I hear your lovely voice say "Hello, y'all." Thank you for such lovely podcasts! The knitting is wonderful and so are the gorgeous music and stunning photography. Thank you for serene moments...
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥹
Kaci you are just glowing, such a great show, my favourite knitting podcast❤
Oh thank you! You are so kind
you colorwork yoke is just like the storm sky in your video. so beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Familiar and unfamiliar- surprisingly helpful. Thank you 😊
So glad! 😀
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, sending big love ❤️
Thank you!
I just love a good thunderstorm sky. So beautiful. Also, love that dress pattern that you are going to make. It will be perfect in that color. I need to learn how to sew asap! Kim
Hello Kim!!! Hope you are doing well! I hate sewing so much but I always find myself coming back to it hahaha
Oh Gosh!! The last segment of your podcast was just what I needed today. Its very soothing. Your podcasts are very special because your voice calms me a lot.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I hope you took time for yourself to grieve.
The video of the storm was beautiful!
I love the Wonder colors in your colorwork sweater.
Thank you so very much
I love the time at the end of your podcasts when we just make together! I'm a new spinner, so I also learned while watching you ply your singles together! Beautiful, informative, fun, relaxing!
Yay, thank you!
I loved the music, with the fiber and beautiful scenery. Really relaxing. I just st wanted to keep knitting and watching.
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful work and beautiful footage.
Thank you very much!
Your shawl is fabulous, I love the colours! I always enjoy your music choices. I so enjoy every podcast, thank you ❤️
Thank you so much!
when you were saying your shawl was giving you 60s vibes i was like nooooo it's so 70s and cool, and then when you said you changed your mind that it was giving 70s vibes and you loved it i was like YES! love your denim jumpsuit btw.
Thanks!!!
So many gorgeous projects! Your spinning looks so calming. 😊 also-that jumpsuit is GOALS esp with your 70/s vibe melt shawl! 🧡🤎🩵
Oh thank you!
I absolutelt love the Kuutar beret… It’s to die for 🥺❤️
Me too!
The visuals on this podcast were beautiful. Especially, the colors in the knits and the storm at the end. Thank you,Kaci 🎉
Thank you so much 😢
Your shawl is lovely. For me, It gives Santa Fe vibes. I was a wanna be hippie during the 70s (graduated HS 1971). Tried to be a rebel within limits.
I love Santa Fe vibes 🥰
Lol. My brother was in the air guard and repaired the C 130’s in RI.
You are a breath of fresh air! Love the "Hippie" colors of the shawl! Hippie, because I was in that time era! AND those overalls! Can you share where you found them! Just a wonderful way to start my day!❤
Oh thank you! They are from goodamerican.com
You are just so lovely, Kaci. So much inspiration in this episode, as usual. I'm very tempted to copy you and knit the Winona dress also, always have wanted to try a knitted dress but just not sure if I can pull it off, and that's a lot of knitting for an uncertain outcome! :) But it looks like its going to be so good!
I will definitely let you know what I think about the fabric and the experience
I loved watching you ply your yarn. So soothing. Also, I cannot wait to see your knitted dress!!
I do really love spinning ❤️
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
Hello 👋
On the subject of learning new skills, I would add to look at different methods people use. I tried to take a craftsy class to learn how to knit continental (for colorwork purposes) and the instructor was pretty set on you holding the yarn one way and my hands hated it no matter how much practice I gave it. I started watching different youtubers and finally found a method that seems to be working! I also got Knitting the National Parks hat pattern book and those are SUPER fun, short practice projects 😊
Ooo great tip and definitely agree! Also I will have to check out this book
Love the end segment ❤ Thank you
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved this episode. Andrea really is amazing. I can’t wait to see the dress when it’s done! I hoped you guys faired well in the intense storms and tornado watches/warnings tonight (Thursday). 🌷🌸🌻🌹
Thank you! We didn’t end up with a tornado here. South of us did tho!
@@YoungfolkKnits we live between Marshall and Yellville and had such intense winds we wonder if we got sideswiped by whatever hit Flippin in front of Ranger Boats. Ugh. Blessed beyond measure. Glad you guys are safe too. 🌻
Thank you for the beautiful music!
Your shawl is gorgeous. You have such a talent for color selection. Thanks for your content! 🧡🩵💛
Wow, thank you!
I love your melt shawl colors - definitely my favorite of the ones I've seen!
Oh thank you!
I love your denim jumpsuit. You do look healthy and radiant, your knitting life must be agreeing with you.
Aww thanks! 😊
Hi I enjoy watching you, I am in New Zealand and we are currently heading into the colder months. I knit mostly baby and children items for charity. Which I love heaps, I am keen to knit a couple of items for myself for the winter.
That’s so very generous of you!
The colors you chose for the melt shawl are just gorgeous!! 😍
Thank you! 😊
Can't wait to see your step by step cardigan finished. I've been saving some Madara (Sake) and I think this might be the pattern! If you ever wanted to try the setup rows for a tubular bind off again, I found Suzanne Bryan's video to be extremely helpful. Her instruction to go down needle size for the last row before italian sewn, as well as for tubular setup rows has truly neatened up my bind offs 👍
I’ve been thinking about doing that since I always go down a needle size for the set up rows when casting on. But I’m happy with the couple of extra rows I don’t end up needing to do haha. Lazy knitter!
Immediately went and looked up that singer! Amazing ep as always, thanks Kaci :)
Yay, thank you so much! 😊
I’ve been obsessed with the Pohjola pullover since seeing yours - was already on my radar from Instagram - but I’ve now started mine using some long held stash as MC and some new CC’s. Have joined in on Sari’s forum and will post on Insta when I’ve made a bit more progress. Love your aesthetic and share the ‘loose knitter’ gene 👭🏻
Ooooo I will look for you on the forum!
When I tuck the end of a scarf or shawl, I secure them under the wrap with a banana hair clip ( appropriate size). Keeps the piece in place and doesn’t pierce the fabric in a damaging way.
Very smart
Sitting here watching these storms and tornadoes go across Arkansas and wondering exactly where your are in the state. It went just north of us here in Hot Springs but hit Hot Springs Village. Hope your safe!
Love that shawl!! Beautiful color selection as usual! I have no interest in spinning but found that segment very relaxing and enjoyable watching you and listening to the lovely music you selected. Be blessed!!
We ended up just fine here! I saw hot springs village had an EF2 tho!
And it is so much easier weaving ends into an i-cord finish. Another great podcast. Thanks
It really is!
Fabulous shawl!! Ps Degen sells a notions tool for weaving in ends and it works so well on projects like these (just used it for the Stephen west mkal shawl, which also has a million ends to weave in)
Yessssss! I have one!!!
I would love love love to see more spinning content 😊 love your episodes and wait for them! I always love your color choices 😊
Yay! Thank you!
You are a delight and inspiration every time! Sending my love to you!!❤
Thank you so much!
I always love your color esthetics!
Oh thank you!
Lovely music and video.
You look so cute in your jumpsuit & shawl!
Thank you 😊
Great episode Kaci! Lots of inspiration and information. Can’t wait to see that gorgeous double-gauze dress. Happy making!❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
That went so fast! I love your shawl colors
Thank you! 😊
Great show Kaci, love your 70’s vibe, and your Melt shawl makes me want to try Brioch!
You should! This shawl doesn’t have much so it’s nice!
Another great podcast, so I was a little on the edge about the melt shawl but seeing yours i might just have to try it. So nice job 😊 thank you for telling us about the extra skein of yarn that does make a difference in the price.
I didn’t realize there was more than one size. That wasn’t available when we tested it. So the 4th skein is if you make size 2 apparently
That shawl is simply STUNNING. And you are adorable. Thanks for sharing yourself with us.
Thank you so much!
Your Melt shawl is lovely, and you style it so well. Definitely adding it to my favourites!
Thank you! 😊
Kaci-another great show. I love learning about new yarns and you always have some great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Love this show and lots of lovely projects 😃👏🏼🥰
Thanks so much 😊
What a fantastic way to start out a Thursday morning by watching this video ☺️ you are selling me that shawl!! I absolutely love the colors and how you style it ❤
Thank you my sweet ❤️
Hi Kaci! Wonderful to see you each week!
Hey Blair!!!!!
Such a lovely shawl !
Thank you!
The shawl is so pretty.
Thank you!
The first thing I thought seeing your shawl was that it’s very 70’s and it fits your style perfectly 🤩 what you said about unfamiliar things hit me hard because it is so true in every situation
Thank you so much!!
Love the colors of your DRK Melt Shawl. I also really like your lipstick color and jumpsuit. You make spinning look so easy. I need to get my spinning together!
Your are so sweet to me 😢 thank you! It’s just so hard to get time in for all the crafts! 😅someday we will have all the time in the world
Hi Kaci! Love your channel! Mother Knitter is actually my local yarn shop and they could not be friendlier! I was just there yesterday and I saw that new Sandnes Garn as I was checking out. I'm going to watch and see how you like it and maybe I'll buy some next time I'm there.
That’s so cool!!!!! Please tell them hello from me 👋
Thanks. Beautiful podcast. 🥰
Thank you so much
Look forward to your video every week. I too would like to see more spinning. I’m hoping to buy a wheel at some point thank you for your podcasts!
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful color work.
Thank you!
Beautiful video! And OMG your colours again on the DRK shawl! I am not into shawls, the pattern itself is way too busy for my style and the designer's sample wouldn't have caught my eye. Seeing your sample I almost want to make it! I wont because I know I will not wear it but I might have to copy those colours for some other yet to be determined colour work project.
Thank you! Ryan has a great eye for color!
1. That denim jumpsuit is gorgeous. 2. Every time you say Step by Step cardigan I start singing New Kids on the Block. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 now I’m going to as well
Love your denim jumpsuit😍
Thank you!!!!
Loved this episode and I celebrate and support your 70’s era. Can we get the details on that denim jumpsuit/flight suit? Thank you!
Yesss! It’s from good American!
The colors in that melt shawl are definitely YOUR COLORS!😂 Love how that Noro yarn is working up. Can't wait to see your dress in that pretty blue!! Have a good week❤
Thank you so very much! And thank you for watching
I love your colors for the Melt Shawl. It’s definitely better visually than the sample Andrea wears. It’s so warm. ❤
Thanks for the compliment! Color is such an individual thing as far as favorites go!
Every Sari Nordlund pattern is gorgeous so it's hard to pick a favorite, but I really want to knit the Mila cardigan.
Yesssssss it’s gorgeous 😊
Keep us updated on the wearability of the Winona dress because the bulky yarn with Arkansas summer heat and humidity did not sound appealing to me
The melt shawl is so beautiful, but the brioche knitting has me running scared :)
You can do it! It’s just small bits in the shawl!
Hey Kaci, I'm knitting the pohjola as well, and I'm holding both the colours that require knitting in my left hand at the same time (laid over my finger with a bit of a space between them) and the colour that requires purling in my right. That way, I don't need to put any of the yarns down and I can stay speedy. It might not work for you, but perhaps worth a try? :) Your colours are so beautiful and I can't wait to see your finished sweater.
I’m just barely proficient with knitting continental but I may see if I can do it!
Knitting rings work really well for me as a continental only knitter! they make it less painful LOL
It’s on my someday I’ll try it list 😂
🌴☀️I really love the colors of your shawl. I must admit the challenges with FOMO as a maker. I spend about $4k-6k on average a yr buying mainly hand dyed yarns & as a woman with curves I think I may be low balling that amount.
But so far this year I’ve made significant progress & have purchased ZERO yarn. The cost is staggering & every video I watch of whom I’m subscribed to always has a beautiful yarn which, is almost always already sold out, especially made for “that maker”, is $40 a skein & I need 4 or 5 skeins or is no longer produced.
I am so proud of myself for exercising restraint, that’s why I love love love Wool and the Forest podcast because she supports one’s efforts to not consume “as much” as we may tend to do at times.
I love seeing all the wonderful things knitting podcasters have managed to add to their stash but sometimes, like today it’s so very tempting to not click the buy button, a sensation I’m trying to conquer.
You mentioned dyers don’t really make significant profits, but alas, MAKERS these days get nothing but Thor’s hammer. Thanks for another stunning video. Thanks for taking the time to even feel like doing it, for thinking of a topic, for pressing record, for editing, the photography, music, time away from your family, the WiFi costs, waiting for the down/uploads…THANK YOU DEAR MAKER☀️🌴
This is such an important topic. I have so many thoughts on it - first and foremost that being financially responsible is most important! I’m so proud of you and I myself am trying to do better about not buying just because It’s something I want but don’t need. I do feel a bit of a difficult situation in the fact that I am often paid to review or discuss products therefore I am (by the nature of the job) going to be showing products often. I do want to be conscious of supporting goals of less spending and consumerism tho! Thank you for watching my podcast I do appreciate it so much
@@YoungfolkKnits 🌴☀️Oh WOW 🥹 thanks so much for acknowledging my challenge, I’m nearly crying but also smiling from ear to ear💗 you are so appreciated, thank you for responding I am quite touched. Wishing you & all things that matter to you peace, safety, abundance & tranquility xoxo☀️🌴
Another lovely video Kaci! Your shawl is gorgeous. Does she advise cutting the yarn every time? I feel like you could just carry it up inside the icord and save all those ends to deal with! I am also doing the Pohjola and loving it so much. I do the colorwork exactly the same way you are. I remind myself that this doesn’t have to be a rush! Take your time and enjoy the process. You are also getting very good at saying “Pohjola” 😊. And one final thing…what is that song you play at the end of the video? I LOVE it. Thanks!
She does advise this! Because of knitting the icord multiple times. Also the song is called midnight hour by Vicki vox
Oké that shawl is beautiful 🤩 I just paused the video and had to grab the pattern 😂. What size did you make? Now I just have find the right yarn or dye my own colors. Oké play the video 😊 Beautiful music at the end❤
When we tested there was only one size but from what I can tell we made size 1
❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
❤🌈
Great episode your shawl colors are beautiful! Love the song while you are spinning- can you share?
Yes! It’s midnight hour by Vicki vox ❤
Do you have a serger? I would be interested in a video of your sewing set-up at some point :) Gorgeous video as always 💛
I do! I will try to show that next time I film my sewing project
Keep us updated on your needle binder! I would love to know your opinion after using it for a while.
I will!! I wanted to use it for a few weeks first!
Lovely knitting but what I really want to know is what lipstick you’re wearing?! 😂 it looks gorgeous on you. Perfect color for your skin and hair. ❤
Oh thank you! It’s actually the charlotte tilbury pillow talk set 🤩
@@YoungfolkKnits Cool, I will check that out. It looks similar to one of my favorites - Italian Rose from Bobbi Brown in the Crushed Lip Color. You might like that one too.
I loved this podcast episode as always! Thank you for spending your time and creativity to bring us joy. 💙 The last clip with the song was beautiful. Would you mind sharing the name of the song? :)
Thank you so much! I actually put it in the description this time! Haha it’s called midnight hour (clean version) Vicki vox
@@YoungfolkKnits Thank you so much!
I love your shawl! blue and orange is one of the color combos I only discovered after I started knitting, and I cant believe I spent most of my life thinking they don't work together!
the spinning scene is just... perfec. is it sped up? or do wheels really spin this fast? I only have a drop spindle so it kinda fells like your wheel is going in Warp speed LOL
Aww thanks! It’s not sped up at all! The Schacht is a lovely and fast wheel ❤️
@@YoungfolkKnits omg you just made me want one even more!! It'll have to wait though🥲
I used Tykk Line for my Montpellier Top. It was lovely to work with but I could not make my gauge work and I still find it too heavy to wear the tank in the Summer here.
Oooo you’re the first person I know that has used it! That is helpful to know! I hope this isn’t too hot 😮
Well I run extra hot, so it may just be me. @@YoungfolkKnits
I didn’t like the Melt shawl until I saw yours. So beautiful. Dare I try it if I’ve not done Brioche. Well I tried a hat and don’t know how to fix my mistake but I do understand how to do it. What do you think?
I think you will be just fine!!! ❤❤❤
I looove your Melt shawl! I just bought a kit for this, obsessed with this look! Question - you mentioned not needing a 4th skein -- one thing I'm confused about is that the pattern mentions 2 sizes, one requiring 3 skeins and one requiring 4. But in the tester photos it seems like everyone assumed there was only one size option. I'd like to make the largest version possible, but the kit I bought is only 3 skeins - do you think that would that allow me to make the regular or the large size?
There was only one size when we tested it and I’m assuming that is size 1. honestly can’t tell you for sure but I would assume you would dip into a 4 skein
@@YoungfolkKnits thank you! I probably wasnt clear in my question, I meant the kit has 3 skeins of the main color vs 4 and then the 2 contrast colors.
Love your Melt shawl! I noticed that the pattern has 2 sizes, I was wondering which size you knit?
When we tested there was only one size. I believe we did the size 1
oh, ok :) thank you! @@YoungfolkKnits
I'm cross knit looping backstrap weaving a sweater
😮😮😮😮
Love watching all your videos, you knit such beautiful things! I always have a bad dose of hair envy as well 🫣, Bridget R
Oh my
Goodness you are so sweet 🥹 thanks!
I just got the melt shawl pattern you featured in this episode but I want to do it in one color since I’ve never done brioche and all the ends. Would the brioche technique be the same??
She has you do this in a where you knit the rows on the front twice and then the rows on the back twice because you are using different colors. If you are familiar with brioche and comfortable switching it to single color brioche you could do that. Or attach a second ball and just follow the instructions as if it were two colors
I kept waiting for you to say… well, maybe I missed it; but, which size did you make - size 1 or 2?
There was only one size when we tested it so I think we did size 1. Size 2 looks like it can be made a bit bigger
I was hoping you’d say that. Normally, I’d go for the largest shawl; but, yours looked like a nice size. Not sure about all those ends though (I cry easily 😉). Is there a reason why the unused yarns can’t be carried along?
you make me want to break out my sewing machine...
You should!! ❤
I think it was in last year's Westknits MKAl that Stephen showed a method for carrying up a colour up the side of a shawl by concealing it in the i-cord edging... I wonder if that would work for this shawl, especially if the two CCs are single-row stripes, which would mean you could hide one colour in each edge.
Normally you could but the way these stripes work you can’t :(
