    Mid knit cravings from Saskatchewan. So soft.

    I love Helen Stewart’s sock Society!! She writes amazing patterns!

    Enjoyed your vlog! Many orbs in the second half of your episode!
    Hand dyeds I like - Polka Dot Creek out West, Pretty String near my house in Eastern Ontario and Alley Cat yarns in Ottawa, ON
    I love your idea about picking out the 12 oldest sock yarns in stash and putting them in a queue! If you don't mind, I plan on doing that. I believe I have over 80 of them which I need to start knitting.
    Two scrappy blankets I am working on - Stitch in Time and Habitation Throw.
    I cannot wait to finish my work day to get back home. I acquired many new acquisitions at a spinning event (Chesterville Spin In). I have fallen down a spinning rabbit hole.
    Have a great week!

      Those aren’t orbs, they are teeny will-o-the-wisps 😉
      The sock spreadsheet really cut through my indecisiveness and overwhelm. Highly recommend!

    It's Monday noonish and we haven't dug out completely yet. Still homebound and taking turns digging a tunnel to the street. But I have copious amounts of yarn and my needles, so all is good :) I don't look too hard for local dyers, as I dye most of my yarn myself. I also offer it for sale in my studio (I'm in the artisan trail map brochure). I am a small batch dyer and mainly do one-offs of 2-4 skeins. Also hand dyed pre-wound warps for weavers. You are welcome to visit when in Sydney!

      I will look for you on the artisan map. I am all cleared out but my parents are still very much snowed in and we are trying to find someone with a powerful machine to plow them out.

    Love Natural Ewe! Also adore Botanical Fibres (NS dyer) & really like Songbird Fibres (ON)! 🧶

    • @Thestashdowndiaries

      I will have to try out Songbird fibres.

    Yarn Indulgence is a great yarn dyer to try. She is out of Saint John, NB. Saw the incredible amount of snow your way, hopefully you are shovelled out. Enjoying your podcast and your stash down journey

      I looked up Yarn Indulgences and it turns out that it's one that I've been eyeing at Tracey's Rolling Yarn Shop. The yarn with the black marled sections has been calling my name, I just haven't taken the plunge. That'd be a good birthday gift to myself next month. I'm shoveled out (Baddeck wasn't hit as bad as Sydney) but my parents are having trouble getting plowed out. Fingers crossed that it's happening today.

    I’m using the app for my Love Note, too. It is really handy for keeping track of stitch counts, and I didn’t even mind it for the charts. Wouldn’t it be amazing if there were an app that would do this for ANY pattern? 🦄
    I admire your willpower in resisting new acquisitions. 💪

    • @Thestashdowndiaries
      @Thestashdowndiaries  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I love that the app just shows the stitch counts for the size your making. Maybe other designers will follow suit. Tin Can Knits have been such an asset to the knitting world.

    I found your site about two weeks ago and had to subscribe. You cost me my first SaltWater book and put the rest of them on my Amazon wish list. Thank you so much. the books are beautiful and I hope to add one of them with my upcoming Amazon order. Many hours of enjoyable knitting ahead of me, I need to work on my colorwork so this is a good excuse. Greetings from Calgary.

      You won't regret purchasing Saltwater books! The mittens are beautiful and great for Canadian winters.

    At least in Scotland, Oban is pronounced nearly the same as “open!”

    Hi I'm new to your Chanel and would so love to know about the stashdown project, also I have 2 great pyreenes so I totally get that dog girls are always special, thank you!

      In a nutshell, it's that grams of yarn in has to be less than the grams of yarn out. I went over the basic guidelines I'm following in episode 1. Each month, I do a stash-down update.

    I just came across your podcast. So nice to watch a fellow Nova Scotia, I'm in the Annapolis Valley. Did you mention a yarn dyer that has a sock club?

    • @Thestashdowndiaries
      @Thestashdowndiaries  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      So glad you found me! I love the Valley, especially the wine tours and Gaspereau Valley Fibres. It's a designer doing a sock pattern club. I linked her channel in the description.

    Couldn’t you just turn the gloves into mittens or fingerless mittens?

    • @Thestashdowndiaries
      @Thestashdowndiaries  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I considered that but decided to go back to Mug Up because I’d enjoy it more and there are more men’s trigger mitt patterns than women’s

    • @Thestashdowndiaries
      @Thestashdowndiaries  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You know what? I’m looking at the glove pattern again and I really like the checkered print. So I think I will do mittens instead.
