I would put the hat on a longer circular and try it on when you think it might be long enough. That way you can see how much it pulls up and know how much more to knit
I have a suggestion for the itchy cowl if you really want to try to make it wearable! I would suggest adding a fabric lining. You can get a cozy fabric like fleece or maybe a jersey knit that has all way stretch and hand stitch it to the edges of the cowl. This would probably take 1-2 hours (maybe slightly more if you have zero sewing experience) but it would make the cowl way more comfy!
20:11 “I am going to make me and Kent hats” is grammatically correct. “Hats” would be the direct object of the verb and “me and Kent” are the indirect objects. Therefore, you would use the objective form of the pronoun (me) instead of the subjective form (I). 😊
In this example it would be "I am going to make myself a hat" so when adding Kent it becomes "I am going to make myself and Kent hats." or "I am going to make hats for myself and Kent."
Im currently knitting my shirt on two different needle sizes, it is doable in the round too! The pattern is using 4 mm needles but I lost one of them to my grandparents terrace (fell between the floorboards), so I have the 4 mm on my right hand side (knitting side) and then a 3,5 mm in my left hand. So far theres no problem and its not visible in my tension, yay!
Hey, Nat…easy fix to your grammar question. Whenever you’re mentioning one or more people and also yourself, always put yourself last. So, it would be for Kent and me. Love your podcast. Cheers…nycSox
Hey! So nice to hear about your progress on your Alpenglow since I’m just a little behind you! I’m learning lots of tips from you. 💕 Will you share the brand of jeans that you like? I love thrift shopping too and am constantly looking for that just right pair of jeans!
Came From Away is about Newfoundland which is where I am from. The fact that so many Newfoundlanders opened their doors for the people is mentioned every year on our local news on 9/11.
I’ve ordered from Stephen and Penelope before and was also impressed. I ordered yarn from the store, as well, so it wasn’t even part of a mkal or anything
I love watching your channel, I tune in every week and it brings me a ton of joy! I also am partial to alpaca yarn I absolutely love it ,the downside for me is washing it because boy oh boy I find it sure does smell like a sopping wet alpaca.
Yes, when you first mentioned the cowl being itchy before I thought it might have been due to the guard hairs. I had heard the same that it’s generally stripped of guard hairs and therefore more comfortable.
Too funny. I'm the opposite on slock making. I cast on 2 at a time and knit the toes. Then I transfer them to 9" needles. For lace/highly patterned socks, I keep them 2 at a time so that I make sure the socks match.
You had showed and mentioned a needle for weaving in little short ends once while you were talking about a shawl. What is the needle called and where can I get one? TIA
I see this thumbnail and the amazing purple colour combo and my mind is blown! So so so jealous! My dream is to be able to make colourwork jumpers but my fight with finding my sizing goes on, have you ever seen a pattern where the front and back stitches of the body arent the same? I keep getting fabric bunching on my back :/
I bet you could measure your front and back separately to double each of the numbers to find your stitch count... The arms might be trickier but depending on if it is yoked or bottom up would determine how you would split for the sleeves.
For the ribbed vs non ribbed hat I would just say keep trying it on when you are doing the non ribbed bit and start decreasing when you hit that point.
Just love your channel and all your creations. This will be the first Steven-west mystery knit along for me. I’m thrilled your going yo do videos. Love buying second hand. Especially jeans!! Really great clothing and helps the environment. Thank you
I’ve !ways been told that a purl stitch takes a bit more yarn than a knit stitch. If that is true, then 50% of your hat is made up of purls! Your inner liner might not take as much yarn as the outer. I’m looking forward to the end result. Love your podcast!
Thank you, Nathalie, for a wonderful episod! If you knit half a green ribbed hat and another half verigated hat in stockinett, to the same length, you can than put one inside the other and try them on togather. Also turn them inside out, to fully know how the ribbed fabric stretches, and adjust the length as desired. Also, as you have less green, it ought to be used for the stockinett portion of the hat. That way you use up more of the verigated yarn, in comparison to the green, but have the same length of fabric. Looking forward to see the finished result! Good luck! Malin
Love learning more about the alpaca yarn! I haven’t purchased any yet but I think it would be great for mittens, it looks super warm! You’re alpenglow is coming along so much! It’s looking so pretty with the pops of color against the dark main color! 😍
Hi Natalie, if you’ve got your MKAL yarn, mine should be somewhere out there, I need to see where mines at, I need to get my Halloween scarf finished by then, see you in the next one.
I love how your sweater is coming along! The colours are fabulous! I was really interested to hear your thoughts on Alpaca yarn! I have had some that is really soft and comfortable and then some which feels so rough and uncomfortable! And know I know why so thank you Natalie for the valuable information!
The town in Canada is called Gander, Newfoundland. They used to be an airbase and would do drills constantly so it was the perfect place for the planes to land and for families to be hosted.
Thank you for the info on the alpaca yarn. All the alpaca yarns I have ever felt was like Butta crazy soft and lovely but also alpaca stretches with the weight of the knitting
oh wow u always have a lot to talk about wich is best for me so i can sit and relax and knit or crochet and during the video i just casted off my first sweater that i made for my sister for her birthday and now i am working on a halloween mosiac blanket
I unfortunately have stopped buying and knitting Andrea Mowry’s gorgeous sweater patterns because I now have to rip out 2 color work sweaters because they don’t fit. I have noticed that her patterns have a short torso and are cropped. All of my numbers were right, but the fit was so off. 😞. Your Apenglow (spelling?) sweater is gorgeous!! I LOVE your colors! Thank you for sharing the alpaca info that the alpaca farmer shared with you!
Since they’re top down can you add more rows to the body to make them longer? I crochet so it could be different but I also have a long torso and this is what I do.
I would put the hat on a longer circular and try it on when you think it might be long enough. That way you can see how much it pulls up and know how much more to knit
Yes…or try blocking.

You can get a cozy fabric like fleece or maybe a jersey knit that has all way stretch and hand stitch it to the edges of the cowl. This would probably take 1-2 hours (maybe slightly more if you have zero sewing experience) but it would make the cowl way more comfy!
For any knitting beginners - just do the MKAL. I was a beginner last and ENJOYED the MKAL and found it easy to follow along. Stephen makes it so easy.

😊
Sooo.... "Kent and I are going to Sheep and Wool"
@@MySweetT1 Yes, that would also be grammatically correct.
In this example it would be "I am going to make myself a hat" so when adding Kent it becomes "I am going to make myself and Kent hats." or "I am going to make hats for myself and Kent."

When Kent said ‘Alexa start spooky season’ my Alexa started playing Christmas music 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
My Alexa said, I’m sorry, having trouble finding spooky season 😂😂
My Alexa was confused when Kent talked to yours. Your sweater is coming along nicely. I got the musselburgh hat pattern, can’t wait to make one.
I think that Musselburgh will be awesome! That alpenglow sweater is 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾.
Thanks for the info on the alpaca. Unfortunately, alpaca fibers don't like me.
Finding a good pair of jeans is no small win, as all women know!! That's a big one!

Love your apenglow colors so much!!!
What colors did you get for the mkal? You said you shared it but I don’t see where.
My Alexa said "Ok, I'll play spooky season, when do you want me to start?" when Kent talked to yours. 😂
That is a great idea on the Musselburgh. Have you ever made the Alder Grove from last year's Rhinebeck?
I need an exact copy of your Alpenglow in my size. 💜💜💜💜💜
🤣When Kent told Alexa to start spooky season, my Alexa said, "OK"
I’ve ordered from Stephen and Penelope before and was also impressed. I ordered yarn from the store, as well, so it wasn’t even part of a mkal or anything
Love come from away!!! I’ve listened to the soundtrack dozens of times!
I love watching your channel, I tune in every week and it brings me a ton of joy! I also am partial to alpaca yarn I absolutely love it ,the downside for me is washing it because boy oh boy I find it sure does smell like a sopping wet alpaca.
Natalie Newfoundland is the Province in Canada where planes landed during 911.

I love your Alpenglow! The colors looks amazing together. Well done!!
You had showed and mentioned a needle for weaving in little short ends once while you were talking about a shawl. What is the needle called and where can I get one? TIA
You could donate the Honeycowl to me 😊I love rustic feeling yarn.
Hi Natalie! Great episode! Hey…do the sweatshirts run small like the t-shirts?
I see this thumbnail and the amazing purple colour combo and my mind is blown! So so so jealous! My dream is to be able to make colourwork jumpers but my fight with finding my sizing goes on, have you ever seen a pattern where the front and back stitches of the body arent the same?

You could use the try on cords for your Musselburgh 😊
Such a fun video!! Watching your alpenglow sweater is so fun and inspiring. You got me thinking about joing the MKAL...
How were you able to catch your floats?
congrats on 150 episodes
show the rest of your decorations
100% had to snag a Cast-On-Itis shirt! And I cannot wait for the Shawl "vlog," it'll be a super fun watch I’m sure!
I'm confused...did you move your desk back to your bedroom?
She works with Kent at her desk but has been vloging at her old spot.
Just love your channel and all your creations. This will be the first Steven-west mystery knit along for me. I’m thrilled your going yo do videos.
Love buying second hand. Especially jeans!! Really great clothing and helps the environment.
Thank you
If anyone is looking for an amazingly soft alpaca yarn, I recommend Cascade Eco Alpaca. So soft, a beautiful drape, and a bit of a natural halo.
My Alexa went off too😂😂😂
I’ve !ways been told that a purl stitch takes a bit more yarn than a knit stitch. If that is true, then 50% of your hat is made up of purls! Your inner liner might not take as much yarn as the outer.

Finding good jeans is definitely a big win in my books! Sometimes they're hard to find even when you're willing to spend the money to get them. Lol...

I love Kara and Nate!! They seem like genuinely good people and I like living vicariously through them.
Your alpenglow is by far my favorite I’ve seen! Those colors are *chef’s kiss*
I love Kara and Nate. Now, watch Eamon and Bec. If you like K and N, you will like E and B
That sweater is absolutely gorgeous ❤️. I just use a chiaogoo connector and add an extra length of cord. It works perfectly.
That sweater is so beautiful and I love the yarn colors you have chosen! Great tips too! Thank you!!!
Love your view!
It was so useful to learn about the Alpaca yarn. I find them to be itchiest yarn ever. Will now give it another try and keep an eye when I buy.
oh wow u always have a lot to talk about wich is best for me so i can sit and relax and knit or crochet and during the video i just casted off my first sweater that i made for my sister for her birthday and now i am working on a halloween mosiac blanket
I love that you are focusing on just a few projects at a time and have the space to go into detail your process and thoughts about each project.
I would do the whole hat in 1x1 rib. Seems like it would work better.
Can you block the hat and try it on when you think it's long enough? It should be easy enough to do
Love the Alpenglow. The colors are great!
Your Alpenglow is stunning!!!!

@@emilyb7791 thanks for your comment. Yes, I could do that, but I didn’t buy enough yarn to add that much more🤪 Lesson learned. ❤️
@@catherinethomes2910 you know what I would do the same thing if buying according to a size 😂
Love the bats!
Beautiful
