I knit up the hedgewitch shawl too, but in a gotland - yours will be much cozier! its a great shawl pattern. I have the yarn for the Woodfords cardigan, I started it a few years ago but could not get my head around the construction at that time but I want to take it out of the closet this winter and try again now that I know a bit more about knitting... your cat is sooo comfortable there! thank you for the fun podcast!

Love your knits, found your experience of knitting Ranunculus very useful as I've been thinking to try it in a sport weight, the Hedgewitch shawl is calling me too. Lovely cats, lovely garden 😘

Thank you Patricia! 😊 Let yourself fall under spell of the hedgewitch shall - it is a super lovely knit.

Thanks, Mercedes, for this new episode😊. Your shawl is gorgeous. I like your classic style. Also your rununculus in progress is very beautiful. I yet didn't get it, whether you in the US, UK and Canada (with english knitting instructions) call every sweater with lace Yokes a rununculus or only special ones, special patterns? ..
The lopi yarn is beautiful. I myself want to make a sweater or cardigan in Icelandic yarn too (which I first would have make as I do spin my own yarn). I like a lot the bright grew, the Icelandics have. I still hesitate a bit, fearing it might be too scratchy.... Hmm....
Thank you for showing us around through your neat and pretty garden.
.... I must watch this episode a second time, for sure, as just now I knitted while watching with "one eye". Nevertheless I enjoyed it already now. Thank you!

Nice to her from you again, Sharon. I’m a classic/traditional style kind of person, too 🙂.
Good question about the Ranunculus sweater (I can understand how the way I talked about it is confusing). The Ranunculus is the name of a yoke sweater pattern by Midori Hirose, who goes by KnitCafe as well. It’s an extremely popular design. I will update the notes on this episode to include a link to the Ravelry page for this design.
