Under Eagle Mountain Making Podcast, Ep. 9

Having returned home from our holidays in France, I chat about what I knitted when I was there.
I also talk a little more about what I plan to knit during my upcoming KAL. Remember to use the hashtag #knitpatchworkkal if you want to join in.

Lovely socks! I must try a ribbed pair! The heirloom quilt squares look fab.

[@under.eagle.mountain]

Thank you. Now I need to sew them altogether 😬.

I really like the low contrast on the blanket squares. It reminds me of the old-looking “faded Persian” rugs that are so popular now. Adding a few more would look nice.

[@under.eagle.mountain]

Ah, thanks so much. I think it would be good to add a few more to balance them out. I appreciate your input x

Loved this podcast and looking forward to the KAL even if I am a slow knitter, the summer holidays have been busy so not so much knitting has happened but hopefully will get lots done in autumn xx

[@under.eagle.mountain]

Fingers crossed! Should be easier once the garden slows down x

I normally knit toe up for that reason I love long socks
To get the grease out of your wool shawl wash in hot water with wool soap or kitchen detergent then rinse in hot water let soak for a while in the soapy water you can move it around a bit but don’t shock it with cold water that is what will shrink it let it cool in the rinse water if your washing machine has a spin without adding water spin it out then block out to dry and that should take most of the lanolin out you may have to change your soap water a couple of times but I think one wash should get it now. Good luck
When checking for contrast for your colours take a photo in black and white and much easier to see the difference.
Check kaffee fassett for patchwork inspired knits especially his older designs
