I loved your number 25 Podcast. Your colour work projects are just gorgeous and you are progressing along nicely. Your lovely Vest, the Pure Joy Shawl and No Frills Sweater
are inspiring me to knit all wearable garments within my wardrobe.
Thank you so much! i'm glad you are inspired.
24 episodes in and I really like your podcast, love what you are wearing.
thank you
I love all of your projects...and that gorgeous shawl by Joji Locatelli with the colors you chose gey and rich rust. Oh my!
thank you
Oh you're such a temptress! Added 3 patterns to my Ravelry queue while watching you today. Really looking forward to your new FB group. Wow nearly your 1 year anniversary. Congratulations. Been here since the start and really look forward to each episode. Keep warm, we're melting here in Essex UK.
Yay, thank you for following my journey, oh i'm so envious of your warm weather. really looking forward to our summer.
Congratulations on expanding your business, you have worked so hard to make that lovely store area,
Thank you
Thanks for a fabulous podcast. I am in awe of your ability to have multiple projects on the go - I always feel such guilt if I have more than two projects going at the same time - well two sweaters and maybe a shawl and a pair of socks as well!!!
lol, see you are as bad as me, although i sometimes have 3 sweaters.
Hi Lisa. I love watching your episodes and have been here since your very first. You inspired me to knit Andrea Mowry’s Pink Fizz in the same pink yarn from Prosper Yarns with a mohair. I found it to be a great pattern, my first lace work and I have to say it’s one of my favorite jumpers. The yarn knits up so soft and has great drape. It would also make a beautiful No Frills sweater. Petite Knit patterns are all wonderful, so well written. I am actually knitting her Marseille Sweater at the moment and learning a few new techniques. Congrats on making it through your first year as a TH-camr. 😃
Hi Silvia, i'm glad you are happy with your Pink Fizz, i dont know why i fall out of love with mine, but i'm keen to cast on No Frills, it is nice to have easy knitting to break up the colour work and lace projects. Thank you for supporting my podcast.
Love your podcast-I was once in Christchurch, in 2010, after the storm. I really really like to hear about all the yarn you use in all the projects and all the patterns. I hope your shop does well. I’m going to look!
Thank you. I have more yarns arriving over the next month or two.
So pleased to find your podcast just this past week, you are absolutely delightful. You are a fine teacher and I am learning so much from you about a lot of things because of the excellent details you share and I have almost got myself talked in to being brave enough make a pullover sweater for myself. I find so much joy in knitting many different things. I have just cast on the Dotted Rays shawl with the Ancient Arts Fibre colourway Light Through The Leaves and the Multnomah shawl in the colourway Jade from Madelinetosh. I have a knitting journal coming to me this week in the post so I am pretty excited about getting it and using it. I am enjoying you from Southern Alberta, Canada.
Hi Joyce, thank you for such positive feedback and i'm so happy that you are enjoying the podcast and its content. You have so many yarns available to you over there, you are so lucky. I really think you should knit a pullover for yourself. What's the worst thing that can happen, I have pulled out many projects and restarted them to make them right. You will be fine. Thank you from Lisa
Hello Lisa! I just returned from 6 weeks in Canada and am catching up on all my knitting podcasts. Your colorwork sweaters are coming along so nicely! And I really am inspired to knit the Weekend V neck slipover now... I have been knitting monogamously on the Maron sweater by Julie Hoover using Purl Soho's Linen Quill in Clover Green. I am looking forward to wearing it!
How exciting, i hope you had a fabulous time. I would love to try Purl Soho's linen quill one day.
As always Lisa you present a very informative and entertaining podcast and really cover LOTS of 'knitting ground.' I also really appreciate your efforts with getting post down to OZ as I would like to buy from your 'shop' sometime with your excellent and very tempting taste in yarn - John Arbon is one of my favs as well. I will also keep an eye out for your revised FB group. Keep warm in your lovely knitting in cold and wet but beautiful Christchurch - Best wishes from Albany in WA !
Oh thank you! The new Facebook page is up now. unwind and knit with me.
It’s amazing to see your beautiful shop! What a fabulous idea to find a way to get all the yummy yarns!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the podcast! So sorry that you have had to frog both projects with that lovely yarn but so understandable! I hope the latest choice is perfect. At any rate, the yarn will find a project! I just finished the color work on the Budding Cardi yoke! I'm stuck on the setup (I'm not back at the left shoulder 🤷🏼♀and instructions for the short rows go across shoulders??) but I guess it will become clear at some point for me. I also am getting stash yarn together for the Lace and Fade KAL! I always love your pattern choices. Anyway, good luck with all your WIPs and cast ons and I'll send you some heat from Florida 😂.
Hi Jessica, i plan to cast on the no frills sweater with my frogged yarn this week and im confident it will be fine. I hope you work out the pattern for the budding cardi. I had a problem because i was counting the stitch markers on my steek bridge as actual stitch markers. A silly mistake but i worked it out after a while. good luck with it. I hope you have aircon so you can still knit in the heat. Take care.
YOU GO GIRL !! Love your enthusiasm, you make it all so appealing.
Thank you I have to practise restraint not to get too carried away, it really is all so beautiful.
Lovely podcast, thank you.
You’ve inspired me to knit the Pure Joy shawl, it’s so pretty and only a two skein project too..
Love the sweater you are wearing, gorgeous.
So many projects and so little time 😀
Wonderful! it is a nice rewarding knit. if only we had more knitting hours in a day.
I have just discovered your podcast and really enjoyed it, so much inspiration and I love that these gorgeous yarns are now available for sale in NZ. Thank you
Thank you so much! and welcome to my channel, i'm glad you enjoyed it.
Absolutely agree that its such a good experience when pattern is well written. I had a project that i had to keep unknitting and persevered only to have the parcel it was in , along with the quilt id also made, stolen on delivery on England and i was so upset after all yhe effort, and to have the delivery agent refuse to accept responsibility. However i have also sent parcels from here in nz to uk that arrived successfully.
Totally agree! how upsetting for your parcel to go missing, I suppose it's the chance we take these days with courier companies having so much control. I would be so upset too.
Love your garment you are wearing
Thank you, it is the Kuutar Tee
John Arbon's colour blending is amazing, over all his range. Delighted to hear all the colours of Yarnadelic are on their way, looking forward to building up my stash. As always, impressed with your beautiful colourwork, Lisa, out of my comfort zone at this point!
Thank you Patricia, im very excited about growing the JAT range.
I love your enthusiasm Lisa and I really admire your entrepreneurial spirit. I have just been swatching with a little bit of Wild Earth Yarns Aspen and it looks to be a magnificent yarn. I don’t facebook though, so I will have to buy my own! Good luck with the new fb group though, hope it goes well for you.
Thank you Valerie, I didn't do Facebook for a long time but i do belong to a few knitting groups. I only use facebook for my knitting and not for anything personal so i do understand. I will do more giveaways for people that only comment on TH-cam so that im covering all the social media platforms that people prefer.
I am really enjoying your podcasts and gaining so much from them. I love the PetiteKnits slipover and will make one myself in the near future. Just a quick question re gauge/size on this project ...you said you were a few stitches short from the recommended gauge so you just went up a couple of sizes. Wouldn't you have had to go down a couple of sizes if your gauge was too loose? ( I often have an issue with liking the fabric my gauge gives me but it's not the recommended gauge.) Have a great time in Europe, looking forward to seeing what you find.
Hi Kristine, thank you i'm glad you have been enjoying my podcast. I'm sorry i wasn't very clear when talking about my gauge. What i meant to say was i went up a garment size, not a needle size. Gauge isn't my strong point and im not great working it out myself but i do always swatch to see if my like the fabric. Hope this clears it up a bit for you. Lisa
Hi again Lisa. Thank you for your response. Just today I came across a short video up loaded on 6 Oct 2022 on the podcast "Wool Needle Hands", called "which size should I knit" in which she goes through the steps to take when your swatch produces a fabric you love but is not quite on the recommended gauge. It is a very simple, clear method that I know I will be using from now on as I often have the problem of not getting gauge but loving the fabric the swatch produces. I hope you find it helpful too. Cheers, Kristine
Hi Lisa, I have enjoyed your podcasts in the past but didn't get past the beginning on this one as it started about your shop. I thought you said that the podcast would still be about your knitting and shop 2nd, however you may not realize how much you mention the shop. Also originally you said that the shop part would be at the end. If there were chapters to choose parts to watch then I would find that useful.
Hello and thank you for your honest criticism. I do try really hard to stay in topic I.e. yarn, patterns and knitting. I do get quite excited about my shop and the yarn I’m stocking so that is spilling over into a lot of my subjects. I have taken your feedback on board and will endeavour to try harder not to blur the two subjects. Thank you. Lisa
Quite often our shops are a huge part of our world and the two intertwine. Lovely podcast - thank you 😊
Lovely knits as always very hot in Scotland
Enjoy the warm but hope you have air-con for knitting.
Hi Lisa, I have just discovered this podcast and right away bought the weekend vest pattern. I’m a little confused about what yarn I can make it in. I have 200gm of 4 ply fingering nz merino. Would I just need to add some mohair? I have no idea what ply or how much in total I would need, please help. Thanks Sandy
Hi Sandy. I used 2 skeins of 4ply yarn held together with a 4 ply mohair. The pattern calls for DK or worsted weight yarn held together with mohair. I did a swatch and my stitch count was out so I went up 2 sizes than I would normally knit. I’m not good with the maths so took a chance and the fit is perfect. I will post it on my Facebook page tomorrow. Sorry I can’t give you a more exact answer but I hope this helps.
I mean Podcast 24
I thought that is what you meant.
Use barber cord for your lifeline
thank you, I use cords all the time for holding my stitches but i'm not sure how you can use them as a life line, that is something i need to investigate.
I’ve just stopped the podcast to add a comment, otherwise I would forget. 🤦🏻♀️
I recently heard that as knitters usually have plenty of stitch markers, put your lifeline through the stitch markers so you will know where you are if you have to rip back.
I'm not Lisa but I have just read your comment. Why would you put the lifeline through the stitch markers when it's just as easy not to put it through and you continue using those stitch markers instead of adding new ones. Just a thought.
@@nellieharnett2754 It is just as easy not to, I tend not to but the comment I heard and I can’t remember where so can’t reference it was, that if you left your stitch markers in and had to rip back to a lifeline, you would have your pattern repeats ready to go. It was talking about lace work.
@@juliedungey872 I see what you mean - thanks for the further explanation re lace work. :-)
Thanks for sharing!! I wouldn't have thought about that but your right. good advice. thank you
