Yay for your first podcast episode. It was nice to catch up with what you have been up to. I don't know if this is on audio but I really enjoyed this little story. THE Miller's Daughter: The story of Ara by Candice Cubito. It's got spinning and weaving references, too.
Yay, for your spin to knit hat! I love the crown of the hat so much as well. It's been so nice to watch you grow and discover new fiber rabbit holes. I tried a bunch of different wools at first and have sort of found my favorites but enjoy trying new fibers as I come across them. I'm so happy to hear you say you love spinning❤🐻

I don’t know what’s more beautiful the scarf you’re wearing the wrap behind you or the yolk sweater. They’re gorgeous.❤ I watched a lot of TH-cam while I knit right now I’m watching you lol I had to come back and edit my comment because the pattern on the crown of that tam is impeccable. It’s just stunning.!!😍

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

Thank you! And yes the crown shaping is so beautiful. I will take credit for the scarf- I designed it. The pattern for the shawl on the mannequin is High Sierra Shawl by Romi Hill.

[@markiejsis4240]

@@CarrieCraftGeek the colors you chose for the shawl r beautiful 😻 btw I didn’t know the word Tam before I started watching your content lol

[@squitten.]

If that were me, by the time I noticed my mistake in the yoke I think I would have put the project in time out. There are only so many mistakes I can handle before I can’t look at a project anymore 😹

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

There was much swearing and listening to Chappell Roan. 😂

[@krislind7094]

I love your channel! And I love the scarf you're wearing. Do you by chance know the pattern?

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

Oh thank you! The scarf I'm wearing is my own creation. I designed when I was playing around with short rows.
