When you held up that beautiful green yard I immediately thought that it would look beautiful with navy blue. Then to my happy surprise you held up it’s running mate. I had a navy and green striped shirt many moons ago & loved it to death. I especially love the depth💕🦊 of the Navy Yarn.
Lilly- another great podcast hanging out with you, would love to see a separate Rhinebeck video is you are up for it. New camera is wonderful as well. The Acorn sweater is absolutely divine!! Gorgeous...........I love how you are incorporating the colors, so so good. I could relate to so many parts of your journey on this viewing......distractions with wanting to knit ALL the things, which has landed me into now knitting 3 test knit sweaters...........love them all but what have I done? I told myself ENOUGH!! And then yarn........I got totally swept up in an amazing sale that Brooklyn Tweed just had with cones...........I just could not resist the sale and ended up with lots of yarn that I have never knit with before but "know" it will be amazing. Thanks for sharing your acquisitions, THAT green....wow!
Lily, love your Junko sweater, I love your colours! Love your colour pallets! Going to go check out the Dartmoor sweater,as it’s one I have not heard of,thanks for the inspiration! Melissa, in B.C.
Thanks for a wonderful episode and what you are sharing! Perfect tecnique. I love what you are wearing. Lovely you show Nutiden😍 Your hair is gourious Best regards from Gotland, Sweden
No Kool-Aid Man trauma here! 😂 I did enjoy the “OH yeah.” I would also love to make a Cargill - it looks so cozy but also classy. The green and navy yarns look great together, as does your nutiden combo. So pretty!
I use ChiaoGoo needles, too. They make bamboo needles, and while the set comes with a different type of cord, they work with the red cords, too. Their bamboo needles are smooth finished and have a little bit of slip. I have a set of stainless, a set of bamboo, and use the red cords exclusively. I don’t think many people realize that this is possible, and I highly recommend it. Love your podcast!
Great podcast. Love the idea of 220 stitches for the half and half wrap. Look forward to seeing if the size is perfect. Look forward to seeing your next visit about Rhinebeck .
A friend of mine had her sleeves on cables and stitch stoppers, and wore her jean jacket over it at our Woolstock Fibre Festival. No shame at all! We all had a huge laugh over it. I recently started a second Half and Half wrap, and also using my Lykke needles, but using a short cord, probably around 20". I have 330 stitches on it, because it's for hubby so far so good. Maybe a shorter cord might work better for you.
I have made a lot of Nutiden sweaters. I always hold the strands double but the most I have ever used is around 350 g most are around 300g, Great sweater!
I have birdie waiting to become a cumulus blouse too! I bought two colours with intentions to hold it double so I may need to size down depending on gauge. We should knit it together!
You might want to try the lantern moon cables on the Lykke needles they make swivel cables and they’re great. I have them and I love them. They fit the Lykke needles I have an interchangeable set and I don’t use the cords.
thanks for another great podcast. Was just thinking about your lykke cord issue- I own chiaogoo needles, and mostly use the metal tips- but have just started using some 'Spin' wooden tips- which are compatible with the red cords- so maybe that would help? I love them for more slippery yarns. Love your puff sleeve top too.
I too, want to knit all the things! I'm knitting a Felix Cardigan. I'm not sure what is up next. I haven't tired Linen Quill, but maybe someday. Your sweaters are looking great.
Listening to your podcast is so fun and enjoyable! Sorry about losing your preRhinebeck session but love and applaud how you dealt with the setback! All your musings are welcomed and reassuring to knitter like me who also has maxed out on wips.
So nice to see all the things your working on and dreaming of working on. I just got my very first order of Nutiden and it is also Jera! I am planning to hold it double and knit the Koyamae sweater. I’m so excited. I was also able to nab a Patreon spot with them so I’m looking forward to all the Nutiden!
You are a wonderful person! I was thinking you might want to consider ChiouGoo Forte needle set..not out til November but they look incredible and they swivel..ebony wood, metal tips..divine Thank you so much
That green is glorious - I have a similar green yarn stashed away patiently waiting for the right project to jump out. I too have quite the linen quill collection but thankfully the new colours I wanted to try sold out quickly last sale so I resisted 😂
Lykke just came out with new cords that swivel. However you can also use the cords from knitters pride mindful collection. They fit lykkes and swivel too.
Your haircut makes you look younger. I am old enough to be your mother, but I’m right there with you on the LInen Quill! I think I have 10 different colors, now. I’m about as far along on my half n half as you are. I just finished my first sweater in the Nutiden for my husband. I haven’t heard anyone address how to weave in the ends. It pulls apart and using a crochet hook isn’t much better. So, I felted it. The sweater has a turned in ribbed collar which I had to sew/whip stitch down. I sure couldn’t use the Nutiden so I had to use a different yarn which didn’t really match but no one was going to see it. How do you handle that?
You are too kind, Kathi! And yes! Lots of thoughts on weaving in Nutiden. I really just tuck it in and let it slice into the yarn on the backside, which I suppose is just like felting it. I’ve never used a felting needle directly, but I also have really trusted the material to stay together and I’ve had no issues-including on my massive, all over cables piece. 🤞 😂 ❤️
I definitely laughed out loud at the kool aid man comment 😂. I’ve been enjoying watching your podcast and am catching up on a few older ones. Also just to add, the new lantern moon steel cords also fit the lykke needles. They’re not as great as chioogoo but still good. :)
I'm actually knitting on a cumulus blouse in birdie as I'm watching the podcast! I love the fabric, but I'm holding it single. 1 strand held single of Birdie is the same as 2 strands of mohair held double in my opinion (both in gauge and fabric drape/density), the fabric of my current cumulus has the same structure as the fabric of my other cumulus made with 2 strands of knitting for olive soft silk mohair. Hope that helps!! Either way it's the softest garment I've ever knitted, and I already want to cast on like 10 more
Megan this is so helpful! I haven’t searched yet, but I am really hoping I can hold one strand-that would be great and I’ve got even more plans for the other skeins!!
@@Lily_curatorial_knits I'm so glad I could help! I knit a size M but with gauge it fits like an L (I was one stitch off in my stitch gauge and the math worked out really well and I didn't feel like swatching with a smaller needle size hah), and if I had done 3/4 length sleeves (I did full length) I would have gotten a whole sweater out of 2 balls of birdie. just needed to break out the 3rd skein for the last like 30 rows of the last sleeve. So you can definitely get multiple garments if you bought enough to hold it double!
Hello from Northern California! I wish we lived closer because I would love to knit with you. But I can tell you live in a cooler climate so we’re not neighbors 😢
Sorry to miss you, but I did pass by you at W&F. It was a tremendous high energy weekend. Love your purchases and could not agree more about boondoggle farm yarn! The acorn sweater is gorgeous! Lorien (Yarnloveturtle)🧶💕🐢

YES! I want to cast this on so badly, but making myself finish up my nutiden ;)
Your version of Anne's Puffed Sleeves was perfect! Love the neckline as well.

Thank you SUSIE! I can feel your great energy and enthusiasm through the screen! and we are SO on the same page! Big Cali hugs!

Oh thank you! I'm genuinely thinking I'm going to cast on the Dartmoor and just pray for more yarn!
That sweater is divine. I can't wait to see it on you.
Thank you! 🤗

Lena-Maria, you are too kind! 🤗 Thank you for your thoughtful words!
No Kool-Aid Man trauma here! 😂 I did enjoy the “OH yeah.”
I would also love to make a Cargill - it looks so cozy but also classy. The green and navy yarns look great together, as does your nutiden combo. So pretty!
The Cargill is SO fun, just the perfect combination of concentration and easy knitting. Just love 💗
Good to catch this today, new camera did well with colors. Love the cut too!
Gee, thanks, Elissa! I have a lot to experiment with the new tech! LOL

Yes, will report back on my 220 😝 and hoping to do my post Rhinebeck filming soon! 🤗

Thanks for the support, Marg! and Yes I should and could totally get a shorter cord, great thought!
I have made a lot of Nutiden sweaters. I always hold the strands double but the most I have ever used is around 350 g most are around 300g, Great sweater!
Great tip! It's truly a miraculous substance!
I have birdie waiting to become a cumulus blouse too! I bought two colours with intentions to hold it double so I may need to size down depending on gauge. We should knit it together!
Wonderful! I've been advised to actually hold the birdie single? so I've definitely got to swatch and feel it out!
You might want to try the lantern moon cables on the Lykke needles they make swivel cables and they’re great. I have them and I love them. They fit the Lykke needles I have an interchangeable set and I don’t use the cords.

Yes! I am just hearing about the Chiaogoo wood needles! Thanks for the tip! 🤗
Your sweater is beautiful! I need to just start making what you make, it is all great!

Wonderful! That pattern is so so stunning! I can't wait to see it, Amanda!
Love you podcast! I especially love your yarn cabinet with adjustable dividers. Can you please share where you purchased it?
Hi Tracy! The glass cabinet is a craigslist find, and I got the slip on dividers from The Container Store (of course! lol). Thanks for the kind words.
You are a wonderful person!
I was thinking you might want to consider ChiouGoo Forte needle set..not out til November but they look incredible and they swivel..ebony wood, metal tips..divine
Thank you so much
Thank you Adrienne, and thank you for the tip, I'll be on the look out!
That green is glorious - I have a similar green yarn stashed away patiently waiting for the right project to jump out. I too have quite the linen quill collection but thankfully the new colours I wanted to try sold out quickly last sale so I resisted 😂
yes to green! and I did a true LOL at the "thank goodness the colors I like are sold out"! BEEN THERE!
Lykke just came out with new cords that swivel. However you can also use the cords from knitters pride mindful collection. They fit lykkes and swivel too.
Oh! That is super helpful to know! I don't have either of those brands, but thank you for sharing!

chiaogoo make wooden interchangeables that fit their cords
L9ve your podcast, thank you for sharing. Is the unspun your using Nutiden or another?? Where do you purchase??
Yes, it’s nutiden for the #inspiredbyellen knit a long! I am a patron supporter of them and it’s a wonderful community 🤗
@@Lily_curatorial_knits Where do you purchase your Nutiden from??
Hello from Northern California! I wish we lived closer because I would love to knit with you. But I can tell you live in a cooler climate so we’re not neighbors 😢
Oh lovely to hear and yes, wish we were closer!
