    Gathering info ahead of knitting NightShift shawl for the first time, your video gave me a better understanding of the colourwork

    Hi Becks and all, I have to do a huge thumbs up for your mention of leaving a loop instead of cutting the yarn. NEVER thought of that and it's a brilliant tip. Also love your pop-up kitties!

    Beautiful shawl. Your hand spun and dyed yarn 🧶, hand crafted- it’s a treasure and will keep you warm. Thank you for posting this diary.

    As a fairly beginner spinner, i used the fibre i got from an advent calendar and although the result was quite colorful and outside my comfort zone i love it!
    Such a versatile pattern!

    Thank you for this video. I loved listening even though I didn't understand a lot of what you said. I am not currently a spinner. I have never knitted a project that includes mosaic knitting, but I am intreagued! I am currently knitting a simple stockinette cardigan of my own pattern. I had to take a break from knitting in April when I took a spill on some ice and broke my wrist. I am slowly getting strength, mobility and flexibility back. I knitted a few stitches today, as I watched your inspiring project and enjoyed your kitty's antics. God bless. ❤

    So nice to see you back. I made the shift a while ago, but not from my handspun, and it was enjoyable, but took a surprisingly long time

    Your cat is so kind and patient with you for your recording sessions. My friend's cat was so rowdy recently and also stole salmon off the table at Christmas. Naughty boy.

    Hello, Becks! I'm thrilled to have you back in my TH-cam feed. As usual, the production quality of this episode is outstanding. I can't help but notice how much work you put into sharing all of the segments with us (which I know takes some doing when you're filming over time). It makes us feel so included in the process. Here's hoping you're having more cozy moments back at the needles.

    Thanks, Becks, so good to see you back! I began the Night Shift Shawl using Schoppel Edition 3 yarns. I really didn't like the way it began. And it was not what I was in the mood for. But now, I love the idea of using my own handspun and making it more cohesive. I am always impressed with your quality and production of these videos. Thanks!

  • @TRaceTK
    @TRaceTK 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great episode!! I have made the cowl in naturally dyed handspun. Turns out those Autumn colours look amazing on my daughter, so I gave it to her knowing I had plenty other bits and bobs of handspun to make another for me 😁 I have also used my handspun as the blips only in the Shifty sweater, used a commercial yarn for all the background. I so love these slip stitch patterns, for me I prefer them to colourwork. Currently collecting/ordering tops to spin for another Shifty 👍🏼 Have a great week and stay safe 🥰

  • @TrudySchwartzBurrill
    @TrudySchwartzBurrill 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m making moonwhistile. One of Andreas newer patterns. It’s very nice easy and a fun knit. It’s very similar to the shifty patterns interspersed with garter stitch sections. I ❤️ slip stitch patterns so much.

    @wendabbad4958 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lovely video as always! I also made the night shift recently from hand spun I made during the Tour de Fleece in July. It is the coziest shawl I’ve ever done and I know it will be my go to for the cold winters here in Maine. I’ve done several Shifty hats and plan to make the Shift cowl soon. I hadn’t considered the sweater but might have to have a second look to see if I can use up more of the eclectic hand-spun I’ve accumulated.

  • @sondragingery5949
    @sondragingery5949 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I enjoyed the video, and was very glad to see you back. I really appreciate seeing the way the handspun looks when knitted up. I very seldom use commercially produced yarn anymore, and have been spinning my own for over 10 years. I was interested to hear your comment about using Andrea Mowry's stitch pattern in a crescent shaped shawl. I, too, don't do so well with a long point, but really do like the appearance of the stitch in this pattern.

  • @naomihynes1413
    @naomihynes1413 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've had a nightshift project on my to-do list for some time now. I'm thinking I might start with the cowl as I need a break from knitting shawls after doing three in the past year. Thanks for the review. Its the most informative one I've seen and just confirms that it's time to give it a go.

  • @ruthcomfort4735
    @ruthcomfort4735 ปีที่แล้ว

    On your lazy Kate what are the plastic poles you have.. love that Idea of doing that. I want to knit the shift cardigan the shiftagan. I am new to spinning so I have the time between now and octobet Rhinebeck to get it done. Your work is lovely

    • @TinyFibreStudio
      @TinyFibreStudio  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much Ruth, I hope you enjoy your Shiftigan, it’s a great project for handspun! It would be amazing as a Rhinebeck project! My lazy Kate is the Akerkate by Akerworks so the poles are just the standard shafts that are built into it. They’re also available in a few other formats like the Clampy Kate, Simple Kate and Butterfly Kate.

    @doramatrai8209 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice shawl! I have a similar plan, but I’m also trying to spin the same colours like in the pattern. I have 2 yarns done, 2 tops dyed by me waiting to be spun, an I still have to find/dye one colour. It is a pretty big project on drop spindle.

  • @Alithia87
    @Alithia87 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for sharing. What a great idea for hand spun yarn! I'm a beginner spinner and I have a slowly building collection of fibre to spin. Maybe I can aim for the sweater if I match up some of the fibre and spin the same weights, rather than just spinning without an end in mind. I really need to practice, but struggle with not knowing what the yarn will be :-)

    I love seeing these knitting spotlight episodes! Your hand-spun is so inspiring and I love seeing examples of patterns that work well with hand-spun. I'm currently working on a hand-spun (half) evenstar shawl which is a pattern I've knit, oh one and a half times already, and I love it in hand-spun! (how many times can I write hand-spun?!) Anyway, I love your videos and I'm glad that you're still making these! I hope to see more spinning centric videos in the future!

      PPS :) I've made the shift cowl twice now (one for myself and my mother) It is so easy to wear and I love it. I'm currently working on the sweater and am having to rip back due to it being too big...which it sounds like multiple people have had that issue. That just means more knitting with handspun!
