I’m just imagining how cozy it will be to sit in front of the fire in that room during a snowstorm! What a beautiful space!
I am one of those people with an extremely short Revelry queue with only things I’ll realistically knit and I alter it accordingly. When I put a pattern in my queue I almost always have already gotten the yarn or I know what yarn I’m getting. The queue is for me just for the things I know I’ll knit and everything else goes in favourites if I want to remember it specifically. My queue is just 6 items long. I get how this won’t work for everyone, but for me the curating is part of the creative process.
I also recently moved into a new house. That “feel like I’m living in an AirBNB” finally faded about six months in. ☺️
every time you do these kinds of episodes my ravelry queue grows. I also am the kind of person who's ravelry queue just grows until i can't take it anymore. the problem is then trying to go through it and be ruthless.
Hah, the struggle is real, is it not? 🤪 I call it the MKBP ( Marie Kondo breaking point) 😂
You take so many vacations ?Lucky women
Your sunroom is fantastic-it looks like it could be the Bennetts' sitting room! 😍
It totally does, right?! Thank you so much, Ruth.
Thanks for the project inspiration. I like both of the cardigans you shared! The blue one that Jonna knit looks so polished and I think a black one will be a wardrobe staple!
Definitely have the chimneys checked and cleaned. Summer is the best time for that.
I learned to crochet this spring & now my knitting is sitting, waiting for me.
Hey Kristen love your eye makeup and the sneak peak of your sunroom.. … yes, our never ending queue’s that we need to get to!
the Fjolla looks amazing Kristin , can’t wait to see you modeling . Thank you for using our Baby Yak !
We have a Forest Weave sample on display in the shop . We all knit it- so much fun to knit!
Lace does my head in
The sun room is so beautiful hope you film from there again ,so calming
I think I will! The only thing is that sun keeps going in and out so editing the video to get the lighting consistent was a bit of a nightmare lol!
I organize my Ravelry queue from time to time, I go into my queue and then the advanced search. After that I choose the categories - and browse the queue by cathegory. It makes it easier to narrow down the queue - since for instance I know I won't be making 20 garments for instance. I move those that I remove from my queue to one of my favorite bundles if I think I'll be wanting to re-visit the pattern somewhere down the road. I guess I do this a few times a year, since it's too easy to add to the queue!
Yes!! The bundles feature is great. That sounds like a good method to the madness! 😄 Thanks for sharing, Iryl!
"Wet the whistle"? Oh my, what a fun expression to learn...you tought me socks, colorwork, ( i am sirious , your tutorial did it for me), and now i am going to start taking notes to learn more expressions in inglish...you are the best Kristen, the best !!! You are the wittiest!!! You make me Google words to express what I feel about you... dear , dear kristen😊😊😊😊🥰love from Lisbon!
Yes the models are very nice , Lilalu is absolutelly amazing...I love ALL of her designs!!!
@@PaulaSimoes67 Aww, yay!! That makes me so happy to hear that I've helped you learn all those things, Paula. I've decided to start learning German again, and I think podcasts/TH-cam videos are one of the best ways! Especially ones that are about our hobbies/interests. 🤗 Thanks so much for the awesome compliment 💖
@@Voolenvine 😊
Hi Kristin. Thanks for the podcast. Bought Joji’s new pattern a couple of days ago. Almost on to the sleeves of my 7th Boxy. Yes. I can knit it in my sleep now. Sleeves? As an alternative to your method - try the Addi Crasy Trios. Wonderful and no ladders! Have a good week. Looking forward to the full house tour please?? 😊🧶
Thank you for another wonderful episode; love the cozy room; great for winter knitting time!
Thanks, Klaske! My thoughts, exactly 😆
You inspired me to inspect my queue - what a shock - it was 10 pages long. I Marie Kondo’d the list. Very rewarding.
Hi Kristen, haven’t watched in awhile … loved seeing your WIPs and hearing about a few Ravelry queue items… I think I’ll go clean mine up a bit! Enjoy your break!
Love it all Kristen💕. …I used to be a monogamous knitter but all the”new and shiny” as you say have me on a different path! Absolutely adore your sun room - if you and your hubby decide to convert your new home into an Air bnb I’m first on that list!!!😊
Aww, thanks so much, Yvette! Will do 😄 As for casting on all the new and shiny 🙈 Oops! 😂
I made the Forest Weave a few months ago with a 100% linen fingering. It's a great looking and easy to wear top that you will love! Once the set up rows are done it's an easy and fun to follow repeat too. 🙂
I made the Lotus and it’s beautiful. I think you’ll enjoy that one
Im going to cast on that forest weave too! It’s so beautiful!!
I was also immediately caught by the new design of joji (and already orderd some yarn) And it will definitly look great on you! Looking forward to see your version 😍
You have to check the patterns of Marie-Christine Levesque (MCL tricot). She have an aesthetic that you gonna love !
Every December, I replenish a binder with patterns that I hope to cast on in the new knit year. Seeing as I am part raven, and the shiny generally draws my attention, very, little, gets cast on from that binder, every, year. I still do it 😂 ; it has become part of my holiday traditions. Also, confession: partially your glittery mention of your beaded Birkin has me half way through chart 2 of that beauty this week 😳 🤣 .... totally loving it. Happy to have my first go at using beads in knitting.
Ah, yes .. the Birkin chart is indeed a labor of love! I can't wait to see yours finished, Tania!!
I bought a kit you did with Rosewater, History Bound, and Blood Moon in it and I was too late to get nouveau so I bought it on the footsie base and made a Dingley Dell Tee last year (this year?) and am totally happy with it! I even wore it again in my most recent podcast and talked more about it. Love it.
That's awesome!! Sorry you missed out on Nouveau ... but I'm sure it knit up great in Footsie. Is it on Ravelry or Insta? I'd love to see! 💖
We have the same queue taste! I am also planning to do the April cardigan and Elah🥰. Wonderful video🤩
YEsss!! Great minds ... and all that 😁💖
I recently discovered Yumiko Alexander and.... how have I not noticed her designs before? Maybe her designs felt too fancy for a stay at home mom, but I recently started working part time at a consignment shop and they're the perfect designs for dolling up a tank top and pair of jeans. And the loose gauge means a quicker knit and maybe a little more breezy for these hot summer days.
Suggestions for black cardigan: DAA by I Kramer (plain v neck), Vaaka bu Anna Johanna (alternating stripes of black finhering & black lace round neck), Tähkä cardigan by Sari Norlund (v neck Thick yarn)
Please stop making my queue longer. 😂 The forest weave sweater looks stunning!
Oops! Ich bin so ein Ermöglicher! 🙈🤪 Isn't that pattern awesome??
Your eyes look fabulous! When do we get a peek at the new dye dungeon?
Thank you so much, Carla. Soon!
I've never been able to navigate Ravelry.
I’m using your footsie base (blood moon and Grimm) to make the Long Summer Cardigan from Joji Locatelli. I’m almost done w sleeve one. This will wear so well 🧡🧡🧡
Oooh!! Good color combo, Meghan. I'd love to see it!! 🤩
@@Voolenvine I emailed you a progress pic 😊
I have a fade of sorts of footsie na planning to use for Joji’s new lacy fade boxy sweater
Yay!! I hope you'll tag me on Instagram or Ravelry so I can see 🤩
Loves Sarah Bleau design she lives in Canada 🇨🇦 Québec and is a young student
Check out the Champagne Cardigan, also by PetiteKnits. The button band is pure genius, and I will definitely use it elsewhere.
Yes!! I saw that one too. I was hoping for something in fingering/dk and the Champagne Cardigan calls for worsted weight with raglan increases .... but definitely adding it to my queue! 😄
When do you start knitting?
Fyi. That sideways construction was actually invented/original created by Laura Nelkin well over 5 yrs ago.
Thanks for the info, CB. I didn't know that -- It's such an interesting way to construct a garment!
@@Voolenvine Very. If you use garter stitch instead of stockinette, you will avoid purling if u don't love it. But Stockinette looks great. For lace knitting, I use the Norwegian purl, for regular bit short-is/infrequent knits, I just use regular purl st, but for loooooong monsters like this, I find Russian/Eastern purling THE fastest (of course u just have to accept that knit sts will b twisted & must b knit from the middle.
What is the name of the beautiful, colorful, quilt pattern you made? Also, what is the name of the fabric collection?
Baby Kisses by Missouri Star Quilt Co. / "Love Always" by Anna Maria Horner 😄
@@Voolenvine Where did you purchase your fabric? Did you buy the fabric in a charm pack, or by the yard?
@@AftonGroveKnitter I purchased it from www.missouriquiltco.com/ and purchased Maria Horner's prints by the charm pack. I'd recommend ordering the contrast/background fabric by the yard, as the pattern suggests 😉
My queue is currently sitting at 47 pages LOL
🤯
@@Voolenvine I...uh. might have a problem with wanting to knit ALL THE THINGS 😂
