Thank you SO much for the link for the 2x2 tubular bindoff. I was just at the end of a sweater with 2/2 ribbing and this helped finish it off with style!
Oh Kaci I just love these knit & chats! Your chickens ❤❤ I looove them! You and my sister would get along like peas and carrots. Her hens are named after the classic country ladies: Loretta, Dolly, Reba, etc. Her rooster is Buck Owens. Thanks for the tip on the 2x2 bind off.
I have had many chickens in my sweet life, And the French Salmon Faverolls are my favorite! ❤ I am just up the mountain from you, in the Ozark Mountains . 😊
I love your shirt! I have my yarn for the Nightshift Shawl, but have not cast on just yet. Now I'm motivated to get started! Love your podcast and your chickens
Love your t-shirt. I also was in shop class. Elton John the chicken is my favorite. Love you farming story. I'm also a farm girl. I showed chickens for the FFA in high school. Sometimes people don't understand my southern accent either. 🤷🏾♀️
I am from Arkansas and living in Arizona. I will say something and people will look at my like whaaaat? I just tell them it is my Southernize and keep on going. 😂
Keep speaking Arkansan, it reminds me of my mom's family. They were from N E Texas and were fixin' to do things and y'alling routinely. Mom turned 97 Monday and doesn't speak any longer due to dementia, so I love to hear that regional accent. She and her dad, Daddy Gene, often traveled to Arkansas and went fishing when she was a young girl.
I am watching you podcast on Wednesday the 18th of January. I am a high school teacher which really takes away from my knitting time but on Wednesdays, I help to teach student to knit during a break in the school days. Hooray for knitting time, I always bring some knitting with me.
Thank you for today. I so enjoyed as I made my Granola ( with my Dad’s /Brothers 2022 Almond crop). Yummy. Wish I could do the KAL; sadly too much going on. But… enjoy.
I’m from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I don’t have a country twang I don’t think, but as soon as I am around family from that area, it comes back quickly! I get teased sometimes about saying y’all. I work remotely for a company based out of NY. I enjoy watching and listening to your podcast!!!
I'm new. Your podcast just showed up on my feed yesterday.😊 Your pronunciation of Lykke Needles is the absolute best I've heard from a non-Scandinavian 🤩. This space feels so cozy (hyggelig ) and nice to be in. It felt nice to just sit and knit while working on a sleeve on an improvised raglan sweater.
Frogged yarn - steam it with a steamer or over a tea kettle. When you do soak a hank, squeeze the water out, then wrap it in a towel and stand on it before hanging it to get even more water out - speeds up drying so much! Custom fit sweaters - Amy Herzog has books and craftsy classes about that. Fat Squirrel Speaks also has a great video that goes through the math and discusses ease as well
When I was knitting on more of a budget I would find woolens at the thrift stores and frog them. What I did was frog it using the winder and swift. Once I got that yarn stretched on the swift I would run my iron's steamer function and let it sit on the swift until it dried. But also before the swift came into my life I would use chair legs to make the hanks. I sometimes felt bad taking apart finished gaments, but I definitely saved money taking old sweaters apart and reknitting them into what I wanted :)
Thank you for a lovely knit and chat. And thank you for sharing the proper pronounciation for Lykke and Laine. I know both French and English. And Laine is spelled exactly the same way yarn is spelled in French so when I have heard podcasters pronouncing it not the French way it gave me pause…and now I know it’s because it’s not the French word at all. lol.
You are a delight! We all mispronounce those German, Norwegian etc words no matter where we are from! I love your accent, your chickens and their names!
Your chicken's names are brilliant 😁 Thanks for talking about getting your sweaters to fit properly. I'm big busted and this is something I'm nervous about! It feels like a big investment of time and money to get wrong lol.
OMG... Good luck with that boucle🙊 it's gorgeous but I really dislike knitting with it. I did a huge triangular shawl with it once in beautiful autumnal colours and gave it away I was so sick of looking at it 🙈
Informative and fun, as always! Can’t wait to see your pink bouclé hat. The Andrea Mowry shawl is on my dream knits list- not sure I will ever be able to afford Dreamstate yarns with the Canadian $ sucking wind as it does. I am excited to be knitting away on my boogie sweater- a black Lento that has been in my queue for quite some time. Eek! Making something for ME! I am about three inches down the body already and realized I am likely going to run out of yarn, which I got on sale-argh- so I went on line EVERYWHERE. And found it ON SALE 40% off at the Knitting Loft in Toronto- so happy, as regular price with added alpaca is not very budget friendly. I love 💕 your Arkansas accent, so you just keep it - some words in other languages can be really tricky to enunciate-trust me, I tried to learn some Icelandic when my sis and I made a pilgrimage to our Granny’s homeland- it was not pretty- although the scenery certainly was! Highly recommend Iceland as a great place to visit (not cheap, but well worth the journey).
So much life changing advice in this video!! First, can't believe I hadn't thought of frogging with my ball winder, that's going to save a lot of time! and second, I also have a similar build to what you described and the idea to start with a smaller size and increase when splitting for sleeves is just genius! Thanks for your video :)
I recently had to frog part of a sleeve of a cardi and had one strand on my ball winder and hand wound the other two. UGH!! lesson learned. Don't make mistakes when you are using 3 strands at a time. lol It did work out and I was really happy with the change I made. My big revelation was hand winding onto the swift!
Seriously, we may be long lost sisters. Both knitters, both respiratory therapists, both showed horses when we were little. I showed Appaloosas though. Love the podcast and thanks for a great knit and chat!
Loved the Quarter Horse comment. My father Tom Hutton was a Quarter Horse breeder, trainer and judged Quarter Horses all over the country. He had a ranch in Tennessee and later in Mississippi. I love your podcast.
Texas gal here who never thought I had an accent til I moved to colorado 😂 your accent sounds like home to me and I’m always scared to try and pronounce things so I appreciate you mentioning it!
Your podcast is very easy to knit along to. I am a Kansan trans planted to Washington State. I got so much ribbing because of my accent coming out on certain words. I'm still not sure how to say oil. That accent will creep back in when I call home.
I’m so glad you said something about doing more CO stitches at the underarm to make the body of your sweater a little larger! I literally am in the same place with a sweater that I’m afraid is going to be too tight along the body (but the yoke is fine). This is a revaluation to me! Thank you!!
Thanks for the shout out Kaci! I absolutely love the way your Nightshift shawl is turning out. You have me thinking about casting on a second Nightshift shawl now 😂
Thanks for being the most entertaining company. And I sincerely mean this in a good way, like it’s so heartwarming and fun to watch your episodes, I feel like we’re chatting in the same room.
Thank you SO much for the link to the 2x2 sewn bind off! All of my sweaters with 2x2 cuffs better watch out because I’m about to go wild re-doing them ✂️🤪
Thanks for the chat. When it comes to English,keep your accent I love to hear it. My Grandpa was from Oklahoma and also had a Grandma from Arkansas.I am from New York. My parents were raised in Illinois so I have many words that sound funny to he people here. I also speak much more slowly than most of the Western Newyorkers. So interesting.
Your chickens are iconic! I wonder if you’ve ever added bust darts? I don’t know much about them personally, but it sounds like something you may wish to try if you have not yet. ❤❤❤
Love your podcast. I thought it was MUD as well. I love hearing about our farm and Chickens. What do you do with all of your eggs? Kim Still plugging away at my bougie sweatshirt- 1031 Sweater by Ozetta.
Love that Nightshift 🤩 I have that on my docket to get done. I had one going but had to frog it😢 LOVE your Arkansas accent ❤ I am a fan of regional accents. I am born and raised in NC and neither of my parents had any kind of accent but now when I read aloud to my kids I ALWAYS slip into my Southern accent that I acquired in school 😂 I am a big fan of Y’all
I just bought the Night shift shawl pattern. I attempted a sample and made many errors. The pattern is taking some getting used to. I keep losing my place. Glad I didn't buy yarn yet. Maybe it is above my paid grade. :)
Loved your podcast thank you for sharing your life with us i do have a question actually 2 where can I find the bis bis beret its not on ravelry and when is the harlow sweater going to be released happy knitting
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make a video with the words that Inga corrected and give the “Kaci translation “. It would be fun to poke at our American mispronunciations😂.💗💗😊
I just bought that HH fibres suri too!! Ugh and a whole sweaters worth 😢. I haven’t received it yet. I’m so curious how it will knit up now! Love your podcast, accent, chickens, it’s all a good time ❤ I live in northwest Ontario in Canada and would have pronounced that bag the same as you lol 😂
Hello: I have a chicken question for you. We have been researching getting chickens for several years. We feel like we are building a predator proof run and coop but also live in AR and are worried about snakes. Any advice on detouring the wrong kind of snakes? Thank you.
I don’t know! We have a lot of snakes but haven’t had that problem…yet! I think we try to keep the grass low all around the coop. That helps to deter them i think.
I recently completed a pair of socks from a sock blank. I hated every minute of knitting on them but thought the kinks would come out after washing. I washed and blocked them and they were still kinky so I wore them and then put them in the washing machine and dryer. Nope still kinky. The leftover yarn I caked up, then wound on my tiny knitty knoddy. it's too small, but I thought it would work for soaking the yarn. The yarn is still kinky. I almost want to wind it on my swift and see if I can maybe soak it in hot water and let it cool, then hang it to dry to see if that would help. Otherwise, the other sock blank I have will never get used. Any advise? Love your channel and watch all you put up so keep them coming. I'm working on the vellichor right now and I hope it turns out. I have like 1000 stitch markers to mark the 5 stitch repeat because I know I won't keep track otherwise. (I ordered more just in case I need more later cause I used almost every marker I own)lol
Are you aware of the song you played for this podcast…”low, im feeling Low, got nothing to show” now that is positive energy for a conscious creator! Not!
I love Inga! 😂 I wouldn’t have known how to pronounce the bags name either!!! I don’t think I could have chickens here, too many predators here in the Ozarks. 😳🦝🦅🦉🦊🐻🐍🐺🐗+++
Thank you SO much for the link for the 2x2 tubular bindoff. I was just at the end of a sweater with 2/2 ribbing and this helped finish it off with style!
Keep that accent girlfriend. It makes me smile every time I hear it. Love the podcast!
You are the cutest thing! Just found this podcast...I will be here for them all.
Oh my goodness, we have some faverolles as well and they are just the biggest goofballs! I love them so much and nobody has ever heard of them.
you are the most inspiring knit podcast
Oh Kaci I just love these knit & chats! Your chickens ❤❤ I looove them! You and my sister would get along like peas and carrots. Her hens are named after the classic country ladies: Loretta, Dolly, Reba, etc. Her rooster is Buck Owens. Thanks for the tip on the 2x2 bind off.

Terrific! Thanks. X
I love your accent and pronunciations. It reminds me of my homes in Oklahoma and Kansas. I'm a pacific northwest gal now, living the rainy life!
I love your shirt!
I have my yarn for the Nightshift Shawl, but have not cast on just yet. Now I'm motivated to get started! Love your podcast and your chickens

My nightshift shawl also gives primary color vibes at the beginning… but you never see it!
Obsessed with your chicken content 😍
Keep speaking Arkansan, it reminds me of my mom's family. They were from N E Texas and were fixin' to do things and y'alling routinely.

You’re so fun! ❤
Thank you for today. I so enjoyed as I made my Granola ( with my Dad’s /Brothers 2022 Almond crop). Yummy. Wish I could do the KAL; sadly too much going on. But… enjoy.

Hello from St. Louis Missouri!
Okay, now I really, really have to start spinning for a paler, low contrast Nightshift. Yours is lovely.
I'm new. Your podcast just showed up on my feed yesterday.😊 Your pronunciation of Lykke Needles is the absolute best I've heard from a non-Scandinavian 🤩.

I was pronouncing the word mud they way you were ! I just had a good laugh. Thank you!

You are a delight! We all mispronounce those German, Norwegian etc words no matter where we are from! I love your accent, your chickens and their names!
I always mispronounce Lykke! 😂 Thanks for another lovely video ❤
Loved hearing about your chickens, they’re a good lookin’ bunch!
Thank you
my husband is a auto body mechanic and I bought him a silicone ring for that very reason, 25 years and still all 10 digits!
They are pretty cool
Your chicken's names are brilliant 😁 Thanks for talking about getting your sweaters to fit properly. I'm big busted and this is something I'm nervous about! It feels like a big investment of time and money to get wrong lol.
OMG... Good luck with that boucle🙊 it's gorgeous but I really dislike knitting with it. I did a huge triangular shawl with it once in beautiful autumnal colours and gave it away I was so sick of looking at it 🙈
So fun catching up with you Kaci 🥰 I share your goal of making better-fitting garments this year. Loved the linguistic lesson 😂

Glad I’m not alone 😂

I knit the nightshift shawl recently. I love it but I think I needed more rows to fit me better.
Loved the Quarter Horse comment. My father Tom Hutton was a Quarter Horse breeder, trainer and judged Quarter Horses all over the country. He had a ranch in Tennessee and later in Mississippi. I love your podcast.
That is awesome!
You are adorable and feel free to say any word any way you like. Cool childhood and congrats to your dad. Sounds very cool!
Haha thank you
As an Arkansan, I also thought it was a “mud” bag 😂
You my dear friend, are a ray of sunshine
Awww right back at you my sweet!
Texas gal here who never thought I had an accent til I moved to colorado 😂 your accent sounds like home to me and I’m always scared to try and pronounce things so I appreciate you mentioning it!

Please send good vibes as I try to frog plotulopi held double 😢
Oh no! 😢
I loved seeing the pic of baby Kaci in her western shirt. 💗
🤠
The colors in your Nightshiift shawl are beautiful ❤️
Thank you
Owls got in and killed our chickens one year. We live near a woods so the whole chicken thing didn't work out for long but we tried for several years.
Your chickens are iconic! I wonder if you’ve ever added bust darts? I don’t know much about them personally, but it sounds like something you may wish to try if you have not yet. ❤❤❤
J P knits has a class on that soon! I’m looking into it!

Laine magazine is a french word wich mean Yarn, I can send you a voice message if you’d like hihi
It’s also a finch word! I’ve heard both the French and finch pronunciation but I thought I’d go with the other since it’s made in Finland

Do you have a dog, predator deterrent
Please don’t change a thing about your accent or your pronunciation xx
