Leslie, that is so cool, I immediately googled my last name and found my family cable pattern! My great great grand parents are from Ireland. The website is called Glenaran and they sell kits with yarn included but hopefully just the pattern is available elsewhere. Thank you so much! 💚
They also just sell just the patterns!
Fun vlog, what a great trip! I never thought of trying falconry but that seems very interesting. I'm knitting a very modified R&R Hoodie by Tanis Lavellee; I hope it survives all my choices!
Your mom knitted that!? Wow! Beautiful!
Hi Leslie! Love your knits! I’m starting with SisterMountain as well, and have the same challenges. 🤣😂 I hope you’re enjoying the class. All new things take time to perfect. Hope you’re off to a great trip! 🧶💕Heidi
OMG! That needlepoint fish is striking!
Always a lovely podcast! Working on my Ravenforest Shawl which is beautiful butterfly lace 🌸
I've also just started my third Ranunculus. I love how the pattern is so easy to follow. I'm knitting mine with Holst Haya, a divine alpaca/silk/yak blend fingering. Love the Barbie Lou (and already in my library) and await the updated version.
Can't wait for the vest pattern gorgeous
Love your vlog as usual great to see fun trip to Ireland. I’m knitting the garden cardigan in fingering and kid silk in a beautiful camel color. It will be a great staple wardrobe piece. Fun easy knit with an ingenious neck design. I think you’d love it.
I am so happy that I found your podcast. I love your style and sweaters.
I have couple mosaic knitting projects in my queue and This might be just the push I need to start one! Great KAL 😊
Your trip to Ireland sounds fabulous my sweet friend. I cannot wait for your vest pattern to come out. I know it will be fabulous. If only people would know how much work goes behind the scenes before a pattern can be released… thank you again for the shoutout… you are always so sweet and supportive to me, but what makes me the most happy is to see you using the needle stoppers and that you really like them. I saw that your podcast was out but I was out of town and wanted to wait till I could watch and really enjoy it, and I just did it. I’m home and just watched it with a nice cup of tea. Hope to see you soon again 💖🥰😘
Hello lovely, love that ranunculus 🥰 colour is superb! Ha ha the jaunting carriage ride 🤭 don’t worry even many Irish people don’t understand those drivers, some areas (like in Kerry) the accent is sooooo thick. Dad is from Limerick and my son, his fiancé and mum and dad were doing the falconry thing last month too! It’s a fun country ☘️ Thanks for sharing, enjoy your next adventure 💕
❤
Thanks for the visit Leslie. Your ranunculas sweater is lovely and a perfect colour for you! I have yet to make one. I have done quite a bit of knitting but have yet to knit a sweater. Any suggestions for a beginner sweater pattern?
Yes to another Ranunculus! It's lovely. I'm ready to do one in wool, after three in cotton/linen. Just back from Flock, and the amazingly beautiful Bainbridge Island. A visit to the Lamb and Kid, and La Mercerie, plus forest walks, knitting and lots of seafood. Perfect! My latest knit was my third (!!) Deschaines. This one sleeveless in Line. It's a wonderful sweater, and I get scads of compliments, whichever one I'm wearing. Finished a shawl in Birdie (Lamb and Kid) in my own design. I may write it up, but you are SO right, it's not a quick process.
Beautiful!! Everything. ♥️ Did you say…or did I miss…do you add short rows to your Rhinoculus?
I Just fint your podcast....love it. I will follow you from Norway.
what a lovely podcast you have here :) I really enjoyed it and I like your rananculus very much. You're making me think I have to make one too!
what color of berroco vintage did you use for your ranunculus? thank you.
After finishing a butterly baby blanket which I so enjoyed knintting, I have a bright side shawl on my needles with a gorgeous yarn called out of the ashes! You can find pattern on ravelry.
Beautiful knits, beautiful Ireland that’s for sharing the lovely pictures. I’m working on mini mock tee ( a longer version) to wear under blazers this winter which is about all you need in TX winters
I actually snorted when you said the horse took off without the driver! What a great story. And a great memory! I’m working on The Norma Sweater with yarn from The Lamb & Kid. I was so blessed to visit Bainbridge Island in June with my childhood friend. Love your podcast! ❤
Love the clips from Ireland! I went once and also didn’t buy any yarn which was pretty amusing to me at the time 😂 Your ranunculus is gorgeous ❤ I’m working on the Framed sweater for Rhinebeck currently.
I am knitting my firsts Ranunculus as I watch this. AND I have some Berrocco Vintage in my stash... so that will be my next one. LOVE yours.
Good morning Leslie, thank you for another fun episode. I have vest knitting on my mind. I just finished the Ingrid by Petite Knit and absolutely loved the knit. Enjoy the rest of the summer. 😢
Hi Leslie , thanks for a great podcast. Cou;d you please give the details of the wool/Angora yarn. I'm not sure if I could get it in the UK but I'd like to know what it is please. Happy knitting.😃
Thank you Leslie ❤
I love all your projects. I do cross stitch, quilting and slow stitching and design cross stitch patterns. I’d love to try needlepoint one day. Your buggy ride in Ireland sounds wild 😮. I’m just about finished a Hipster Hat by petite knit for my hubby, we are in Queensland Australia and he is taking it on a trip to New Zealand next week.
Great episode Leslie, always nice to see what you are making and where you are traveling. I am a home body so do not travel much. Thanks for the episode! 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
Can’t wait for the vest pattern! Thanks for working so hard on it! Have a lovely trip. And thanks for another great podcast. Love your Ranunculus! ❤
Ripping out the back of my tessellated vest (Andrea Mowery). Somehow I managed not to do any of the arm hole shaping 😮 That’s ok, I can re do it (after leaving it in time out for this summer). I am super bummed that summer is over. I have 5 kids I’m homeschooling this year and I just don’t want to start school, we have had too much fun. I loved seeing your pictures from Ireland! That is a crazy story about the pony cart!!! I would love to test knit your vest, and I will certainly be purchasing it as soon as it comes out!
Loved this episode and loved the footage of your trip!!! Always enjoy your episodes!!!
Oh you missed out.. Kerry Woolen Mills. And they ship ;) Gorgeous yarn
I was so happy to see you popped on yt! I always look forward to your podcast. I love the ranunculous as well. Wonderful to hear about your trip to Ireland…it’s on my list to visit. I went to Scotland 2 years ago and highly recommend going. I did bring back some special yarn 😊. I’m currently knitting the Natsumi sweater and it’s so fun since it is knit sideways, hopefully I won’t be playing yarn chicken tho. Have a fabulous time in Tahoe. I’m heading to Santa rose, CA in October.
Love your vest pattern. Can’t wait to buy it.
Your ranunculus is so stunning on you!
Imagine no wool shops in ireland thought would be loads but saying that am in edinburgh and I don’t have a shop near where I stay although some other end of town if I wan5 to visit them but rarely do as parking is a problem but online shopping has to do lovely to see you
Loving that Ranunculus! Yarn? Wondering fast forward how it is wearing? Curious as you mention the “growing” factor. Just another beauty you are wearing. ( hint hint would love the style videos of more of your handknits)…. So good! We went to Ireland and loved Jim got to golf the old course at st. Andrew’s. We then traveled into Scotland and were able to stay with our dear friends at Skibo ( the Carnegie Club)…and Jim golfed several of the courses nearby. That country is so beautiful. Have fun on your travels…. So lucky! Thank you for today.
Thanks for sharing your knits and your Irish adventures. Your projects are so beautiful and they always look fantastic on you. I am heading to the UK soon and so am preparing my knitting by completing two sweater yokes (Sea Haven and Yule Do). My plan is to get to the easy stockinette parts by the time we leave and have completed sweaters to wear while travelling…..we’ll see if that happens!
Hello Leslie, I am knitting Diamantine by Paula Pereira and absolutely love it. We went to Texas to South Padre Island on holiday. Sending regards from the Czech Republic.
Hello Leslie, I’m so happy to see you. Always inspiring 🤗🧶💕
I am so looking forward to your vest pattern! I am still learning and sounds like a perfect fit for my next steps in learning. Thank you for all that you do!
Stunning needlepoint!
Really looking forward to the vest pattern!
Leslie, I love your ranuculus, especially the color (always love all of your color choices!). I don’t think you mentioned the color of Berroco Vintage that you used. Can you share?
Hi Leslie, I'm excited to make your vest pattern when it becomes available. I don't recall if you mentioned if it's bottom up or top down? Also I'd like to knit it in the Öling #1, can you tell me how many skeins you used?
I so look forward to your videos; thank you! May the moment, I am half way through knitting my first Aran. I’m from Yorkshire (England) and they’re called Ganseys. Each pattern denotes different things: ropes, steps, shingle etc and were knitted in village patterns so fishermen could be identified if they sadly had been found after an accident. Initials were knitted on the Ganseys also. I’m knitting it as a remembrance of past family seamen/fishermen and the villages they’ve sailed from. Aren’t knitting traditions precious? Happy knitting 🧶
So excited for the release of your vest! Love it and will greatly appreciate the CZcams video support💖
Love your new Ranunculus sweater! Also, I can relate to your needlepoint dilemma…I also enjoy cross stitching and I purchased 2 Christmas Stocking kits for my grandkids at least 3 years ago, but i rather knit so they were never starter. This year, I decided to bring them to Greece (i spend the summers here) with me and force myself to work on them, I;m so glad I did because I had forgotten how much I enjoy cross stitching. Anyway, looking forward to your next episode!
