I’m beginning to think there’s no need for me to follow any other knitters on TH-cam. Your choice in regard to patterns appeals to me and your knitting is exquisite. So enjoyable to watch.
What a lovely comment. Thank you so much. x
I so agree with you. ❤
Another fantastic episode, Tash. By far my favourite knitting podcast!
Such a beautiful Pink Velvet. Love it so much and have now purchased yarn so that I can knit one too. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Aw - Thank you so much! That is such a lovely compliment. I hope you enjoy knitting Pink velvet. The colorwork was really enjoyable - no long floats and only 2 colours! :)
You are a bundle of energy! I wish you have a wonderful time in Japan with your hubby!
Thank you so much. I am so looking forward to it. :)
Oh wow Tash what a week!!! Because I only ever knit (90%) of the time monogamously I can’t imagine the joy of finishing three things in 1 week, it would be party central in my place. I’m bad enough as it is when I finish something, I’ll run around the house saying to my husband look at me, look at me, touch me, touch me 🤭🤣😂
Your projects are fab, well done! Your bra strap doesn’t show at all 💪🏻 and that colour is so good. The Japan countdown is on and how fun the underground hotel. So many quirky and fun things. Thanks for another fun episode, Karen 🥰
Thanks so much Karen. I love the image of you running around the house in delight!!
Just discovered your podcasts, love your presentation and content. Your knitting is gorgeous! If that is your home, that is also stunning. Much love from Shetland xxx
Thank you so much Linda. That is my home - I love this living area. It is my favorite part of the house. Thanks for watching. :)
Your Soho Top has a very professional finish look! Love your Obsidian sweater ...❤❤❤
Thank you so much. :)
I reinforced my Summer Sorrel by doing a slip stitch crochet at the bottom of the ribbing on the collar. Until I did that, the neck stretched so much, the sweater was unwearable. I never thought that little slip stitch crochet would have made that much of a difference. Loving your videos! I can't get over all of the things you've made!!
Thank you so much for sharing that. That is great to hear. It is wonderful to be able to turn something that has become unwearable into a success. :)
Your Pink Velvet is absolutely lovely!
Snow Wonder would be great in both that pink or the icy blue. Either would be so wonderful. Or both!!
Thanks so much Allyson. :)
Hi I love how you stay so on corse to finish things that’s great, yarn is very special to me. So glad I found your channel it’s great. I live in Ohio in the U S A, Linda Wilde. Keep up the good work, I don’t do to well at knitting, but I crochet a lot. Take care have fun in Japan . 😊 ❤.
Thank you so much Linda. Happy knitting and crocheting :)
Beautiful podcast. Great FO'S and WIPs
Thanks so much Melanie :)
Another informative chat Tash. I have sorted the yarn for several of your previous projects. Much to my hubby’s amusement since you started your podcast I’m also doing repeat knits. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much. I am glad you are enjoying the repeat knit. :)
Just wanted to let you know how much I’ve been enjoying your podcasts. So glad that I’ve come across them and I’ve subscribed so I don’t miss future episodes. I’m currently working on Snow Wonder - it’s an amazing pattern. I’ve knit a few of Heidi’s patterns and her math is impeccable which I’m sure you appreciate. Mine is in an icy celadon shade. So far I’m loving it.
Thanks for much for your lovely comment. I’m pleased to hear you are enjoying making Snow Wonder. I would love to see your progress pics if you put them on ravelry or instagram. :)
Tash the Andrea😢 Mowry knìt is beautiful. The colours used are lovely. The Soho top has turned out as a classic as well as the Field Sweater. You have so many plans for knitting. I have taken a break from knitting so I could get my home sorted out. Winter throws need laundering as well as two sets of curtaining. We are not getting things sorted out in cupboards and I like an organized lol home where I can find items quickly. Take care ❤😊
Thanks so much Rosemary. I hope you are enjoying your tidier and cleaner house. That is on the agenda for me today, too. :)
Wow Tash, your Pink Velvet is stunning and your Soho top is so beautiful!!! I’m late watching your podcast this week, but enjoy watching every week and absolutely love the detail you go in to. So inspiring and helpful!
I’m trying to make a special gift - fingerless mittens and the design I want to incorporate means I need to knit them flat, sideways, not from cuff to fingertips. It’s been ALOT of planning & charting but will be well worth it if it works out! 🤞
Heaps of fun!
Thanks for another great episode. 😃🧶
Thanks so much Susie. I hope you are enjoying the planning as well as the executing and that they work out. x
Praying that your son feels better soon and that no one else gets sick!! ❤🙏
Thanks so much Catherine. He got better very quickly once on antibiotics. :)
@@mostlyknitting thank God for antibiotics!🙏❤️
Great video Tash. Loved all your finished projects. I definitely want to try the Andrea Mowry’s color work pattern. I just bought the Sophie scarf pattern to use up the remainder of my yarn from my Field Sweater. I love the color of your Field Sweater. ❤
I always look forward to your videos. Enjoy your weekend coming up. ❤
Thanks so much Maryann. x
Another great episode! I love hearing about your knitting - you go into details so well. It’s very helpful! I’m planning on starting the half and half triangle wrap soon as well. For your Linen Quill that you don’t have a project for yet, I made a Salty Air Tee out of Linen Quill last summer and I love it. I live in a colder climate, so I turned it into a sweater. It was a fun knit!
Thanks Brenda. Thanks for the idea of turning the Salty Air Tee into a sweater. I like that idea. I like the blue of the Linen Quill so that could be a really good option. I could even make it into a dress, i have enough yarn. Hmmm - that sounds appealing to me. :)
Hi Tash, I love the idea of a salty air dress!
This was a lovely episode Tash. Really enjoyed sitting watching you as I was doing some cross stitch. Blessings Gail.🙋🏼♀️
Thank you so much Gail. Hope you enjoyed your crafting time with me. Thanks for spending time with me. :)
Wow gorgeous podcast
Thanks so much Gail!
I feel like you are so fast at knitting. I have been working on one sock for a few weeks and I still have a good way to go! But I do have a very busy toddler I have to chase so I just try to remind myself that this phase will pass all too quickly and I'll be able to just sit and knit without getting up every 2 minutes
I remember thos days with toddlers. Not a lot of knitting got done then. Enjoy your time with your little one. Hope you can find a bit of crafting time in the moments between chasing. ;)
Cowl for the pink velvet. The left over brown alpaca could be wrist warmers/fingerless gloves.
Thank you so much for the suggestions. x
Excellent podcast, as always. We have such similar taste that we always seem to stalk the same designs. Re: your beautiful mohair, have you seen Joji' Elton cardigan. I've just cast it on. It would really showcase the mohair (you would also need 2 skeins of fingering). ❤
That cardigan is beautiful. I dont make a lot of cardigans but i could do with a few more for when it is just a bit chilly - especially in the air conditioning at work. :)
We definitely have knitting telepathy. Just weaving in the ends on my granddaughter's Purl Soho classic ribbed hat as I watch. Yesterday, I decided I didn't want to knit another 1 by 1 ribbed hat for my other granddaughter, so I cast on an Oslo hat! I've already knit one and it's one of my favourite hat patterns. I also finished my Caidree top, in my case the Suri Shirt. Your Pink Velvet is gorgeous and you were right to leave the neck as is - very elegant. The idea of a cowl is a great one. And what can I say about your Field Sweater, stunning, stunning, stunning. I will stop by Skein Sisters tomorrow afternoon for a very quick hello. Thank you again for a terrific podcast!
And, of course, I'm knitting an Anker Summer Shirt!
Thanks so much Rhonda. I wont be staying long after the class finishes so hope that timing works ok for you. :)
We definitely have very similar tastes and current knitting desires. ;)
Beautiful knits Tash! the pink velvet is sooo pretty, and as I said a long time ago, I actually really love where the collar sits on you because I find it very elegant and feminine in showin your collar bones. I think a very simple cowl would be lovely...mayb even with a hint of pink here and there, but even simple, as you say, it could take away from the exquisite colorwork. The Soho top is lovely too, it's just the perfect summer top and I love your modifications, I may look this up for the upcoming summer here...Wow I am fascinated by Obsidian, I just put the pattern in my cart and will look up if I have any adequate yarn in my stash (not buying any) which I probably may because I love fingering yarn mostly...is this an easy knit as it seams? it looks so stylish and feminine and has something a bit retro to it which I love...I would see some old style Hollywood movie heroin wearing something like this...💚💚💚
Thanks so much Barbara. I made it a while ago but i do remember it being quite a straight forward and really enjoyable knit. :)
Great podcast Tash, fab knits but as lucky as we are in Australia not everyone has free doctor visits, as all the bulk billing has decreased for many Aussies who may need it. I am one of the lucky Aussies who lives way out west and I do receive free medical visits including specialists. Have fun on your break, very exciting visiting new knitting shops and collecting some new yarn.
Thanks so much Jenny. Yes, it is true - bulk billing is on the decline. Only a few of the doctors at our local practice bulk bill. Our family doctor bulk bills for children (and pensioners) and I am grateful for that.
Bonne voyage❤
Thank you. :)
Tash-Your pink fizz is just gorgeous. I have knitting envy! I am amazed by how much you knit in a week and that you are able to post a video weekly. I am lucky if I can do one every 3 weeks. I'm also a teacher but knitting and podcasting over here in Canada. Best wishes!
Thank you so much. It probably helps that I work part-time as a teacher. I am increasing my teaching load next year so may have to switch to fortnightly during the term. We will see. Thanks so much for watching and I will have to pop over and watch your podcast. Thanks for sharing that you have a channel. :)
🥰
I always like your choice of colors! Another great video. I always look forward to seeing what you are up to.
Thank you so much Mary :)
I’m in the process of knitting the field cardigan and I’m interested in your coding for the grains. It’s not hard to do but Camilla’s pattern writing is not fluid. Thanks for the video on the grains. It was very helpful 😊
Thanks. I used G = make grain. C = cable (i didnt write any more than that as i knew what kind of cable because it was always the same direction), S = slip, M1 for the usual make one. LG = make large grain. Ktbl for knit through the back loop. I ended up being able to get most of the rows down to a few symbols. Hope that helps. :)
It will be good to hear your thoughts on the Oslo hat if you do end up making one, maybe compared to the Musselburgh. I'm deciding which one to try.
I'll definitely report back. When i have finished it, i will show both to compare. :)
Sweater is beautiful 😊
Thank you so much :)
❤
Why not do the blue sweater without the snowflake in the pink?
That is quite a good idea Deborah. I would like the bobbly one in blue but i really like the design and it would look quite nice in the pink. Definitely an option. Thanks for the suggestion. It would be a super quick knit too. :)
Hi Tash. Don’t forget to get your tax back at the airport in Japan. Purchases over ¥5000 qualify for tax back. Robyn
Thanks for the reminder Robyn. I will definitely be doing that. :)
