I’m so grateful to have women like you to look to in knitting and life. Seeing my peers embrace their years without covering their beautiful locks with dye fills me with hope that the next generation of women will be respected and appreciated for their years of experience.🙏💗
My 2 sisters and I all have Saturday shrugs ready for the SYF on the 9th. I found a lot of stash that wanted to travel with us to Scotland from the US. Hope to see you there!
This is so beautiful I am so in love with these! My grammie past away and I recently received all her yarn stash! I am planning on using her yarn to make these to give to my younger sisters, aunt and mom! Thank you so much! ❤
I’m not Scottish, not going to th Scottish yarn festival, but I really enjoyed this episode and started thinking about yarn for one of the lovely shrugs❤❤❤ Thank you
Thanks for inspiration. I cast on last night using some special hand dyed I bought on one of the SYF links. Hopefully will finish in time for festival and be brave enough to say hello at festival. Hope to see you there x
I just finished my first one while imagining what my Ancestors were doing during their time on earth. I have gotten as far back as 1587 Edinburgh Scotland but most of the more recent ones hailed from either Lanarkshire or Kirkudbridge. I may not visit my homeland and our family's castles physically anytime soon but I am there in Spirit and heart every single day, and daydream of one day meeting you.
Thank you for this podcast! I’ve made 3 Sunday shrugs -gave one as a gift and now gave a Saturday on my needles with Friday shrugs to come. I made my first to use up some chunky wool I had in hand and fell in love with the comfort and esthetics so they are becoming a wardrobe staple and gift giving go to. Love them! Thank you!
Made the Saturday Shrug purposely for a plane flight from NY to Europe and back this past month. Great, easy pattern that was better than an airplane blanket or sweater ever. Thank you❤
Oh that was fun 🤩 I’m joining in 💪🏻 I have one already that is drying in the sun, haven’t taken it off long enough to block 🤭 loved all the inspo and that linen quill one 😮💕
So much fun to see you both together again! I'm also in love with Jackie's shrugs and am knitting a second for myself as well as another for a Christmas gift. I do love not having to worry about sizing and who wouldn't love to have one of these?!
Yes, I bought yarn for it yesterday. Although I've been planning one since you first wore yours a few episodes ago. I'm doing a chunky yarn, five colors... AND i have two friends doing it with me too. KNitting pals from Wales, California and me in Alaska. Great little video here.
Thank you so much Amy for sharing the inspiration andnthe origins of these shurgs❤ They're just lovely and I need to knit one for myself and for my mom😊
❤this is such a wonderful chat! And I just love the story behind the shrugs. Everyone is getting one from me for Xmas this year! But, casting on one right now for my cousin who was just diagnosed. Gonna add a little of my handspun angora so she can get a soft hug from me whenever she needs one🩷
Thank you Amy for bringing this delightful, informative fun interview to us. I’m hooked on trying the Friday shrug. I especially liked the last one made with Linen Quill that was so beautifully faded. Initially, I had a little trepidation at trying the shrug due to the fact that I am “busty” - but so are you. Additionally, I am small in stature but I have decided to give it a “go” and play with it til it works for me. It would also make a wonderful gift. All this is quite “heart jumping” as Sarah from It’s a Sarah podcast would say. I’m originally from Scotland and hope I can find a podcast of the Scottish Yarn Festival on TH-cam when it happens. Bye for now.
I'm sure there will be footage on TH-cam to enjoy after our gathering. We have put together playlists on TH-cam for our Scottish Wool Producers Showcase and there are some for Perth Festival of Yarn (our previous incarnation.)
thank you Amy and Jackie, looking forward to diving in my stash to create one of these. They are all lovely, it was so inspiring to see so many different versions! and yes, definitely a great gift idea! 🌸🌺
This was so fun. I loooove Jackie and her Saturday shrug. I have made so many and I’m ready to make more. Thank you for bringing her to your episode … I keep getting inspired 💖🥰🧶
I'd like to make the Friday Shrug using a DK weight yarn that I already have on hand, instead of two fingering weight yarns held together. Would that work? Thank you.
Thank you for this - I do love a pattern that has the purpose of being a jumping off point for everyone’s individual creativity. I have one question, - I am a little more broad shouldered than you and Jackie. Do you have any advice on adding stitches so that I can style in the same way that you do without preventing myself from moving my arms! If it was just plain stocking stitch I could work it out but ribbing worn at negative ease has foxed me a little. Thank you!
I am in love with all of the shrugs; easy to knit and so versatile to wear! I grew up in Frederick Maryland where Claire McCardell was born and is buried. Her line of clothing was manufactured in Frederick near the local airport in a factory that later produced men’s suits. Her father was a state senator and president of Frederick County National Bank as was his father before him. The last name is pronounced McCard-ell. Claire attended a prestigious all girls school called Hood College just a few blocks from her home.

So nice to see two of my favorite knitters together talking about the shrugs.

So inspiring, all the shrugs are so beautiful 😍
thank you, both of you, like whitehaired angels, you made me smile throughout the episode...
So excited to participate and this will be my gift knits this coming season!
So much fun to see you both together again! I'm also in love with Jackie's shrugs and am knitting a second for myself as well as another for a Christmas gift. I do love not having to worry about sizing and who wouldn't love to have one of these?!
I also got yarn from Ginger Twist to make your Gallus scarf... trying to be patient and wait for the pattern.... hurry up, I want to cast on! xo

A beautiful gesture. Wishing your loved one comfort, excellent care, and a return to health. ❤️

Me encantó ,gracias por compartir el patrón,es hermoso,siempre había querido tejer uno ,saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷
This was so fun. I loooove Jackie and her Saturday shrug. I have made so many and I’m ready to make more.
Thank you for bringing her to your episode … I keep getting inspired 💖🥰🧶
Your shrug is so inspiring. I will be making one for my mom for her birthday in late September.
Thank you so much for hosting this KAL for us Amy and Jackie 💖💖
Thank you
Brilliant!
I'd like to make the Friday Shrug using a DK weight yarn that I already have on hand, instead of two fingering weight yarns held together. Would that work? Thank you.
Lovely
On average how long does it take you to knit one? Working on my second one.
Depends on which one you choose. The Sunday Shrug was a very quick knit! The Friday is in the lightest weight yarn so would probably take the longest.

I have one question, - I am a little more broad shouldered than you and Jackie.
