So grateful to hear that your Dad is healing, Kaci! I absolutely love your podcasts and am doing my best to catch up now. Thank you thank you thank you.
Hi Kaci. So glad to hear your dad is recovering! 😊 He has been in my prayers and I know he will make a complete and speedy recovery. Love your beautiful shawl and the colors you chose❤ take care.
Thank you so much!
Glad that your family is on the mend in this difficult time
Thank you!
That's good news on your Dad but am sure it's still a long road to recovery. Hang in there, we're all sending you guys our love! 😊 Loved that shawl, just stunning!
Thank you so much!
Glad to know your dad is better ❤ and your shawl and spinning process is amazing beautiful. I just love the colors for your next shawl
Thank you so much!
Good to hear your father is getting better
Thank you ❤
Always so nice to catch up with you. I just caught up on the previous episode 2 days ago and because I was late watching it this is like a super treat to me. Yay :D Also glad to hear your dad is doing better.
Thank tou!
Great to hear that your father is getting better! Lovely projects and plans, Kaci. 😊
Thank you so much!
Your finished shawl!! So so good-I have a few skeins of plump just looking for a pattern ❤
Wonderful!
Good news that your dad is getting better!
Thank you!
That Madara has me swooning!! Your Artus in the Sonder yarns will be so pretty, and squishy and lovely. The Lichen and Lace is very rustic indeed.
Oh thank you!
Kaci, I hope your knitting can bring you joy and stress relief in this stressful time for you. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I love your podcast and love your choice of colors in every project that you do.
Thank you so much!
Loved the spinning - more spinning content would be very welcome :)
You got it!
I enjoyed the video but especially learning your Dad is beginning to heal and he has family support. 🙏
Thabk you!
Lovely…. Oh my goodness that is the same color I knitted my knit collage everyday yay cardi.
So cool! It’s such a pretty color
I love the shawl! But, mostly I loved watching you spin while listening to you chat. So calming to me. Do you think you’d be available to come over right before my bedtime and spin while you tell me a story?
On my way
Hello Kaci, personelly I love Lichen and Lace yarn, they have sock yarn too and it’s so soft! Gorgeous colors! 👍❣️
Good to know!
Love using their sock yarn and about to start 4th hat for family members in their choice of colors. Interesting that some yarns may result in leaning stitches and would love to learn more about it. Put pattern for Shawl by max as may offer that as an option for one son instead of a hat. Love how your's turned out.
I am a tight knitter and I usually always have a full skein plus some left than sweaters call for. Your shawl is gorgeous. Girl, you've turned into a shawl girlie! I love it. I didn't hear what fiber it is you were spinning that is sticking? So glad your dad is on the mend.
Oh my
Gosh I
Love shawls I have knit about 25 of them ❤
Now I thought I've heard you tell Becky you weren't a shawl girl but she was.@@YoungfolkKnits
Thanks for the spinning tips! Love the colors of your Plump It Up shawl.
❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad your dad is doing better. We're going to keep him and your family in our prayers, recovery is an intense road. Sending lots of healing love.
Your knits are beautiful! Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
Thank you!
Just found you and love your video. Love your decor and everything about your show❤
Thank you so much!
Always so fun to hang out with you!! I LOVE the shawl by Max... maybe you convinced me for yet another shawl? I blame you for slowly turning me into a shawl knitter!
You are cranking them
Out! 😊
Love your videos. So inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Patience is a virtue! Your finished product will be better if you follow the rules 😊
Very true!
LisaR :Hi Kaci :) You're right the blend of different fibers esp. when silk is one, can cause drafting challenges. Two things you might like to try next time that I find helpful.1) predraft . By doing this , you'll get more control over the final
Drafting on the wheel .The differences in fiber length show up more if the fiber is just minimally blended , causing a lot of slipping past each other rather than going through the drafting together. Results in the uneven spots ,and less than fun spin. If the fibers been blended and then dyed , it usually can be blended well -better drafting . It's a style the dyer chooses to get a particular look . You can get the. Fiber blend to cooperate by predrafting and 2) Try
Spinning from the fold . You ll break off a piece of the roving fingers width longer than than the longest fiber . Then fold over your finger , while gently holding in place . Fibers will be drafted from the top or tip or your finger . You tube has a lot of really good videos to get a look at how :) It's very relaxing and feels similar to spinning from a rolag. You can still compress the yarn in front to smooth and remove air if you want a. Worsted yarn, but this technique will make your yarn have some air., but you can counteract a good deal by still using the pinching finger in front of draft to smooth and slightly compress as the yarn runs in. Hope this helps . Try the predraft first . Your projects are SUCH
beauties !
Great info! I did pre draft but it still wasn’t the easier to work with. At some point I might try spinning from the fold
Hi Kaci! Thanks for showing me a bit how you spin from a braid! I’m learning myself how to spin and I’ve been splitting my fiber so far, to make it easier to manage. But how you did it, looks really interesting! Must try it sometime. Any other tips for a newbie? ❤
You are so welcome! I’ll give it a think and see if I can add anything 🤔
Sedona ❤
I love the colors in the shawl you finished, and the Noro brown yarn- SO pretty! I used Noro yarns several years ago and it did have a scatchiness to it, so nice that they are producing something more soft.
Oh thank you!
I can’t wait to be confident enough with my spinning to use my hand spun as cc in a sweater! Love your color choice! 🩵
Thank you!
That shawl is gorgeous!!!
Thanks! ❤
If you are all about the wild you will love Knit Collage! I just finished the Kaleidoscope sweater and it is spectacular! A total color explosion.
Also, I just received my Lichen and Lace Artus bundle. It is definitely rustic but I love that and don't find it scratchy. The colors are gorgeous but the best part is it smells like sheep (that is how rustic it is).
Looking forward to seeing your progress on both!
Thanks for the info!!
Interesting about your Noro Madara. I bought it about a year ago and made a Noro pattern with it (Sia sweater), and it is incredibly scratchy and not soft at all! It is a seamed sweater and that makes a stiffer sweater, but man it's hard to wear. Glad yours seems better.
Oh no! I wonder if it’s a difference in colors?
I wasn't impressed by the plump it up shawl, but after seeing your version and that cut fluff yarn, I might have to put it on my list ;). Also, that Noro yarn is absolutely stunning ! I'm going to have to see what patterns would be cute with it.
Thank you!
Would you please share more with us about spinning. How did you learn? What wheel do you use? Do you recommend that as a wheel for a beginner? It’s amazing that you’ve only been spinning for a year!
Ok will do
How do you guys afford the yarn for some of these projects...like serious question. Is there a place to find cheaper yarn? Would love to knit the plump it up shawl but that's $120 bucks 😬
You might want to also watch the Wool Needles Hands podcast. She has had several episodes specifically looking at affordable yarns widely available at big box stores. (Don’t leave Kaci-I hope she isn’t bothered by this suggestion! 😊)
I did receive a discount as a test knitter for the yarns. But A great combo to use for this is lion brand feels like bliss and mandala impressions! And they are on sale right now at lionbrand.com
@@jamiethrogmorton2540she’s a great podcast! Watch her myself!
Thank you for the suggestion!!! I'll check it out. @@jamiethrogmorton2540
I’ve heard you talk about being a loose knitter before. So am I. I’m just curious why on things like your shawl you don’t just go down a needle size? Not going to suggest swatching for a shawl, I don’t do that either, I just start with a smaller needle.
I often don’t like a tight fabric. I prefer my fabric to have drape especially with shawls so I don’t mind it being looser ❤ but yes on lots of projects I need to go down a size 😅
