A few days ago I discovered an instagram post that said you could easily frog mohair by putting it in the freezer first. Has anyone out there tried it or am I being trolled? 😆
Ha....not trolled I believe. I have heard this several times also from different knitting sources, and apparently it works well. I haven't as yet knit with mohair so haven't tried an unravel. 😝Love to know how you go when and if you do Granny. So I have broken my leg and had surgery 😏 so lying now on the couch with leg elevated. It makes knitting harder, especially since my belly gets in the way. Anyhow....happily knitting on Anne Ventzel's Hilly Hood in chocolate for my Boston adult son. Their temps have plummeted, so I had better knit quickly. She pairs two yarns - my lace I have chosen is "Zealana Air Lace" - cashmere, possum and silk.....he is ONE lucky son!! (other nz merino) . You have cheered me up with your podcast thanks Granny. Thanks for showing us Budapest...looks magical, and discussing your yarn shopping so honestly. When we want something, we really WANT it don't we . 🥰🥰🙏
@@sharonmerton9812 I'm so sorry to hear about your leg! That sounds tough, but it’s impressive you're still managing to knit through it. The Hilly Hood in chocolate sounds perfect for Boston’s chilly weather-your son is indeed one lucky guy to have you knitting such a luxurious piece for him! How are you finding the Zealana Air Lace to work with? That blend of cashmere, possum, and silk must feel incredible 😍Sharon, I'm telling you know if you are happy with your knitting experience so far without trying mohair don't try it lol or at least only on a piece you know how to knit very well so there's no chance of unravelling! And I’m thrilled the podcast brought a little cheer your way-Budapest really was magical to explore. Take it easy, and happy knitting (as much as you can with that leg) 💕
@@caffeinated_granny Took a photo but can't load haha. Yes it feels luxurious but diluted by the merino. I am used to knitting garments so knitting an accessory is a treat....feel as though I am getting somewhere fast this time. SO many different experiences available to us with our craft isn't there. Thanks for the mohair advice. No need to go there so probably won't now 🙏 Keep well Granny - so appreciate your knitting experience shared. ❣
@@sharonmerton9812 Accessories are such a nice change of pace, aren’t they? It sounds like you’re really enjoying the process. Thank you for sharing your journey with me. Happy knitting, and take care!
Thank you, makes me so glad to hear! I left the sign up link in the description! Will be sending out the instructions probably tomorrow or sometimes this weekend
It was lovely to hear that you liked Budapest, I live there 😊. I have never been to the yarn shop where they sell Lana Grossa, but I am going to visit it 😊. I really like your podcasts 💕.
Thank you, Agnes 🌻So nice to hear you like the podcast. Lucky you living in Budapest, it's such a beautiful city. I plan to come back every year - especially now that I've seen online how Christmas looks there! You should go to the yarn shop if you love colour, the staff were really lovely. It's called 1001fonal.
@ thank you 💕. The Christmas markets in Budapest are amazing and a lot of fun 😊. If you are planning to visit the city again, it would be lovely to have a coffee together. I am also a caffeine addict and love the coffee shops in Budapest 😊.
@@Agnes_KR Perfect! Then you can show me all the good spots 🥰My fave so far is Massolit - such a nice spot to sit enjoy a cuppa and the scenery and knit
Glad you came across my youtube feed, you're fun! New sub. I, too, love Budapest. Like your boucle vest, may knit one for teen granddaughter if you wind up publishing it.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and subscribed! Budapest really is just something else, isn’t it? They just need more yarn stores lol. I’ll definitely be sharing more about the pattern once it's done testing.
