I dared myself to try steaking and have down it twice with great success. The first time was on the Alice Starmore Cats & Mice Blanket, for my grandson, using her Hibridean 2 ply. What a revelation, no need to stabilize with machine stitches before cutting the steak - just go for it. The stickiness of the wool did all the work. My second attempt was Kristin Deysdale’s Marit sweater and I used your lovely Eldon Lace. This time I pulled out my sewing machine to stabilize things before cutting the steaks for the sleeves and the front of the cardigan. Each project worked out exactly as I hoped - the key is working with the fabric you have created and trusting in the process.
Oh dear! We have smaller coyotes here on the Island. There are much larger ones in the rest of Canada. The larger ones are suspected to be a coyote-wolf hybrid of some sort. They are much larger and more aggressive. But the ones here can definetly take down a sheep if they are motivated and hungry.
@@FleeceHarmonyPodcast Coyotes are about 3.5 - 4 feet long including the tail. Adult males are larger than females, weighing on average about 21 and 17.5 pounds, respectively. A very large male may attain a weight of 35 pounds.
I just love the harmonious and humorous way the three of you discuss about your knitting projects and life. ❤❤❤
Love the colours of Simones crochet jacket.
