Super vlog - as usual. Thank you so much Diane. Lovely to get your update and see the wonderful Art in Bloom pictures. How special was that💐. Also the wonderful wool you have bought. What a treat just squishing it😄. See you soon 🌸🌼
Discovered your podcast this morning and I’ve been watching since episode one whilst knitting on a very wet and dreary day! I love your projects and enjoying your episodes very much. Mum is adorable! Looking forward to the next one! Heather, rural Devon, UK ☺️
Delightful instalment of knitting once again, Diane! Thank you. My initial sweaters fit either sloppily or were too tight. Because it was very difficult to understand gauge or rather, I did not understand the importance of getting gauge. But as more content on the internet became accessible to me it became clear that gauge swatching and adjusting the patterns was crucial for a good fit. Eventually I was able to get Ann Budd’s book of top down sweaters. That was a game changer. Based on our gauge we can select the size that will be a best fit. Have a good weekend with your mom visiting.
Oh, I love that episode and it was great fun joining you! I love summer knitting. You can create wonderful Shirts that fit your body perfectly in colors that really compare to your type and stile. Knitting is not just for the cold season.... And yes... You are so right. You can create your fabrics by playing with yarn and needle sizes. You just need a little bit of creation and being brave stepping a bit sideways from the suggested way. That s what makes all the fun and excitement. I hope I wrote it all right in my broken English 🙃... And you know what I mean. At least I agree with all that you say. And I do love the colours you chose! Lots of greetings from Germany! 😘
@@theislandlamb oh, that would be so much fun! Your taste of wool, colours and sweaters is quite simular to mine. It is so much inspiration for me watching your videos!
Wonderful episode my friend, your energy and spirit are inspirational, great colors of all your yarn choices AND I love the necklace you are wearing!!! XOXO
A wonderful episode. Your knits are so lovely and stylish. I loved the Eyelet Top and will be adding it to my wardrobe. I learned a lot and your footage at the museum was wonderful. I also have a large lilac bush/tree, right now it is filling the yard with its wonderful fragrance. Thank you and have a wonderful summer.
Hello and thank you!!! I’m planning to wear the eyelet top tomorrow. I’m very pleased with the outcome. I plan to wear it in the next episode as well. Happy knitting 🧶🌸
Hi Diane, thank you for talking with me in Wickford this past Monday. I was your stalker chasing you down to ask about the summer tank you were wearing. Knitters recognize other knitters and your Inlet tank is spectacular! Thank you for being so gracious. I also purchased your yarn recommendation and am working on my gauge swatch while watching your podcast. This is a lovely podcast, fun and informative all rolled into one. You inspired me with other designs and introduced me to new-to-me designers. I also like that you shared your Webs haul. There is a place for commercially dyed yarn along with the hand dyed. I’m off to catch up on your other podcasts :). It’s wonderful to meet another local knitter!! :)
Hi there, it was lovely meeting you!! I’m still laughing about having my sweater on inside out!!!! If you ever get to Block island look me up. We could knit and chat over coffee. Thanks for watching my channel! Happy knitting 🧶 😘❤️
It looks like it’s all been said but I’ll add my 2cents. I love your aesthetic, your speech cadence - very calming. Your knitwear (and your mothers) is/are stunning. Is it insulting to say they doesn’t look home made? The glimpse into the art and blooms was delightful. Not something I would think I would appreciate but I did. Gauge - yes, it’s like a foreign language. I like your explanation. You must understand because your garments fit beautifully. I don’t knit garments for fear of failure. I also know nothing about wool content, the whys of it, the difference between hand dyed and ?commercial? yarn other than that hand dyed is more expensive. Bottom line, I really enjoy the glimpses into your life, your style and your knitting choices. 🥰
Isabel, you just made my day!!!! I’ve been ripping out and reworking and struggling with a pattern and finally took a break. Perfect timing for your lovely words. Thank you! 🧶🌸❤️
Your room in the intro looks so inviting and calming, what a lovely retreat. Our lilacs will bloom soon here in buffalo followed by peonies (usually they are Memorial Day) and iris are always Father’s Day! I’m so glad you shared your museum experience. When I lived in nyc I had a membership to the metropolitan museum of art and went every week.
Hi, yes I do love my knitting studio. It took awhile to get it functional. I’m still always looking for a better way to keep all the yarn needles patterns etc organized. Happy knitting and happy spring!
Just discovered you! love the knit your mom made and the sweater on the mannequin! I am finishing up the last sleeve of a summer knit called the Lonicera that I found on Ravelry:it's from Berroco. My first summer knit. I had to look and see if it was designed by Rosemary Drysdale because while it's a bit different the overall shape is so similar to the yellow T that you are knitting. The one you're doing may have to be my next.Thanks!
I enjoyed your episode and footage! Thank you for the inspiration. When you can, would you mind sharing the pattern for the Paton’s Cabled bag? Happy Spring knitting!
Hi Dianne….another great video and loved the trip to the art museum. Amazing how the flowers were matched to the paintings. . I just saw another person asking for the pattern for the cabled bag. I cannot find it in a Create kit and the Pattern I was able to come up with is a much simpler version which is fine as I’d like to do a couple of Xmas gifts. My problem and what I would love from you is how many stitches to cast on and did you put it together by hand or machine? Iguessed that the hem is about 5”. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing the photos from MFA. I'm a member of the Portsmouth Garden Club and was unable to attend. As a matter of fact Esther was one of my sponsors. I do enjoy your podcasts and especially appreciate your descriptions of the patterns and the fibers. I've tried to locate you on Ravelry but have been unsuccessful. Would you please share the exact name of your account so that I can follow you. Thank you again for your lovely videos and I always look forward to seeing the next one. Your mother is a great ambassador and I've been watching your videos since number one. Suzan Ballard
I know you have knit projects for children and I would like to ask advice for that. I want to make a sweater for my 7 year old grandson in a wool that is superwash. Could you recommend a brand that is not too expensive but also doesn’t pill. Thank you. I knit alone and have no one to discuss my knitting concerns with.
Hi there, Cascade has a cascade 220 sport weight and a worsted weight in superwash. I buy mine through Webs yarn store. It’s very reasonably priced and Webs is having a big sale right now. Good luck 👍 🧶
I also wanted to mention that the sweater you knit for your niece or niece’s daughter is adorable! Her mom will want one for herself! The color combination is so feminine and cheerful. And the pattern you choose is sweet and the details are subtle but also stand out.
Another gorgeous episode thank you for sharing the photos at the end 🌺
Beautiful sweater your mother knit. What a treasure. I enjoyed watching this episode with open windows. Indeed Spring has sprung. 🌷🌺🌸
🌸💕
Oh Diane I feel transported to the museum while drinking my coffee this morning . Stunning photos! Another amazing episode
