Okay, you two. I love that your podcast is so long. It's always there for me when I need to accomplish something that's going to take a while. It's always so much nicer to tackle while seeing you be such fun friends.
Oh this just makes us so happy! So glad we can keep you company!!
This was a really fun podcast! I loved the look of joy in Jackie's eyes as she ripped out Carmen's shawl. I think sharing WIPs is a great idea -you've inspired me to make some decisions and get on with it. Thanks for all the laughs and inspiration.
Omg I love this and I literally went back and watched it! Hahaha youâre so so right! đđđ And thank for the very kind words!!!
All I'm gonna say is this... " I'll have what she's having " Jackie's shawl... drool đ«¶đ«¶
Meeeee tooooo Tea!!!!!!
Come on girls đ There was nothing to discuss with regards to Carmen's first WIP ... There was a feather on it ... That's a sign ... You need to finish it â€
What a brilliant episode and I loved how long it was! â€ïž Susannah
Omg you are sooooo right!!!!! â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
thank you ladies. bonkers but wholly engaging. Thank you for the no edit interference - the maniacal pooches in the background just add to the pleasure. đ€
Hahaha thank you!! Love that you feel the same as us!!
I was able to frog a whole sweater while watching and giggling along with you two. Thanks! Jackie, continue the Twigs in some manner.
Omg I love this sooooo much!!!!
Hi. Carmen, I think you should continue the sweater. It is beautiful and you worked on it a lot and it will look great when you finish it. Jackie, your shawls look beautiful. You can be proud of them. Take Care. đ
Jackie you are so good at modifications I have complete faith that you will find a way to make that shawl into something amazing!
Aw she really is and youâre right, sheâll blow us away with the FO next ep!
Ladies. This was so SO MUCH fun. I loved the WIP down. I started to go through mine and frogged one. As usual, your energy is wonderful and infectious. Thank you for all the time you spend with us. I very much liked this content. And itâs really good to see all your older WIPS and a refresher and maybe itâs something we might want to knit as well. Your handspun is beautiful, as are all of your garments and shawls.
Aw Patricia!! Thank you for all of this!!!!
You guys always inspire me to make more sweaters. đ Iâm not sure if I have enough time in my life, but hey, Iâm gonna try. Iâm a very very very beginner spinner, Jackie and you keep inspiring me so Iâll give that a whirl too. Now I want to find haunui! (and Iâve cast on an Islet Drop)
Carmen, finish that Stria! Itâs so gorgeous and you know Rhinebeck is usually warm. Itâll be perfect. đ Jackie, youâre exactly right about project bags. I love them. Theyâre so cute and beautiful etc. but once your project is in them, unless you have big motivation to keep knitting on it, you forget all about them. I tend to work in a bit of a nest of projects because I like to do several at once and I like to have them just laying around for me but when I put them away, I forget about them.
Oh Carmen! My first thought was you should finish your twig but as the podcast went on I think youâre going to solve it perfectly. It would be a shame to frog or just disappear that yoke that youâve got so far. The colours are amazing,itâs so gorgeous! I hope that whatever you come up with works. I love the way it turned out, so far. Yes, I think you guys should bring a WIP your podcast, even if itâs occasionally. I certainly get some inspiration to check out my WIPs. Itâs a great idea to look at them all before I go buy more yarn.đ Thanks for your funny and thought provoking podcast. So enjoyable! â€
Omg I loved every word of this!! Thank you for all your lovely support and advice!! â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
I love seeing people with a lot of wips!! Makes me feel as if I am normal!! I have been making an effort to frog or finish what I have on the needles and am making progress!! I also buy yarn without a specific project in mind and admire those who are more deliberate in buying yarn and picking projects, but thatâs not me. Itâs my hobby and I can do what I want to!!!
Jackie, please bring all of your graveyard WIPS. Loved this. Iâm pulling out a Union Jack cushion WIPS that I was going to knit and finished during the Olympic Games in London circa 2012đ
Bahahahahaha soooooo good!!!
Keep going on the Twig sweater! It is beautiful and youâre going to love it in the long run. Maybe 15 minutes a day. The colors are gorgeous. I would keep all of the motifs. It can be a fun and humorous 15 minutes a day
Youâre so right! I donât think I can make all the motifs but I do think I have to finish it
JackieâŠThat shawl is gorgeous. Great job!
It is the most incredible shawl Iâve ever ever put on!!!
Carmen, youâre a golfer and knitter - me too! Love this podcast, so fun!
Omg! Thatâs so so fun Michelle!!!! And thank you!!
I love the photos on Ravelry, gives me an idea how something will look on me if I see how it fits my body type.
I also have a long time herbernating Stria...I am about the same place you are Carmen. And the number of times I have gone back and forth on ripping it or finishing it, is incredible. Like every two weeks I'm like 'ok I love the fabric, I love the colors, it's amazing!'. And then two weeks later I'm like 'im never going to knit it'. I once out in back in rotation, and put a reminder two months later on my phone that said: if you haven't knit a single row on the stria by now, rip it out! And I hadn't - but still can't quite make myself rip it ahaha
Bahahahaha Victoria!!! I could not understand more! The struggle is REAL!!!!
A new podcast from you , this made my day ⊠getting my pen and paper handy for all the new things Iâll need to cast on!!!
Another fun episode! Hereâs what I do to keep track in Ravelry. As soon as I do my gauge swatch, I put the needle size in my project page. This also helps because there are times I may do a swatch but then not start the cast on immediately so I have something to refer to later on. Oh waitâŠ. You donât do swatches! đđ
I also create the project as soon as I buy/decide on the yarn cuz there were times I couldnât remember what I bought the yarn for! I guess itâs just a habit to get into because now I add it as soon as I start!
I also keep notes as I go because I know how much othersâ notes help me!
Omg please let me do even one of these things from now on!! This is all soooo smart! Thank you!!
Putting this on while I card!!! Iâm always looking for summer tops to knit and I love both your faces so this is perfect đ
We love you too babe!!!
I had a wip for 4 years, one of Arne and Carlos pattern. I had done the entire body, was about to start the sleeves. I tried to restarted it and remember why I abandoned it in the first place: it was a full colorwork seemed sweater with pattern on the purl side too. I was about to give the whole thing away when I saw Florence from Handmade by Florence do Olympic sweater of Lillehammer. I had an epiphany: stop evening, reclaim the yarn and start this new thing. Absolutely love it! One never know what a wip may come! đ
Omg I love this!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Only 30 minutes in and I HAD to get the Eyelet pattern!!!â€â€â€
Yaaaassss!!!! You will not regret it!!!!
I got through knitting my sleeves! I just moved to a country where I don't speak the language and you guys are now my only English speaking pals lol; thank you for recording 3 hours of the English language because I was seriously missing it. đ I'm one of those people who only buys yarn for a project, and I feel like my percentage is around 100%, at least for big projects? If the only yarn I can play with is my one project, it feels kind of inevitable. And I'm usually motivated by wanting to finish it so I can go shopping and start something new hahaha.
Carmen I definitely agree with both of your frogs đ
Haha thank you! Always makes it easier when others agree!!
I love a wip down so yes to more of Jackieâs wips! I find I have the opposite problem as most knitters because casting on is my least favourite part and I love the middle and end of a project. I do have lots of project bags with whole cakes of yarn and a pattern inside thoughâŠ
Hi Jackie and Carmen. I enjoyed seeing your works in progress. It was interesting and I like how you wound the yarn. Take Care. đ
OMG while you ladies were going over WIPS I went stash diving for the Eyelet top. Seeing all the yarn I have made me overwhelmed and I realized I need to stay on my yarn diet and knit some WIPS.
Also I agree with Jackie. Work on Stria and when you need a break finish instant crush.
Omg I know that feeling! You def need to make the islet top though! Itâs perfection!!
I am totally going to do a WIP-down as well! đ Loved this episode!
Yay!!! Hope yours is as fun as mine was! Haha Iâm so reinvigorated!!
@@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765 Hmmm, I am not sure about that - but yours looked so fun that I felt inspired to do one as well! đ
Happy anniversary! I anxiously await EVERY episode!!! Thank you for showing your Love Letter tank⊠I am inspired to finish mine now!!! Also, I highly recommend the sailor swift tank! I am a HUGE fan of Veronika Lindberg and recommend alllllll her patterns!!!
I sooo loved all the wips I took have many to finish plus several to start loved this video soooo much â€â€â€â€â€â€
Islet drop and diatom đ€€ Adding to queue!
Yaaaasssss!!!! đđđđ«”đ«”đ«”
So fun! I have many wips but there is one that I have to decide what to do. I am now leaning toward frogging it and repurposing the yarn.
I like the brioche suggestions for the Aster. Plus, I think with your petite frame a shawl-ette totally works! It's just not a huge wrap that is going to go around your elbows.
Thank you!!!!
Hey Carmen! For your Twig, once you finish the yoke and then seperate for sleeves, then you could change your needles to have a looser gauge on the body and it would go much quicker, like the Wervel from neons and neutrals!
Yaaasss! I was thinking the same thing! Kindred spirits!!
Hi. Carmen, I like the gold yarn you were wounding. You can knit something nice from that yarn. I think you are such good friends and enjoy discussing your hobby of knitting. I donât have anybody to share this great hobby with anybody. I am glad to watch you and a couple of other knitting podcasts. Take Care. đ
You asked how we add stash -- by watching enthusiastic podcasters, haha! I've now got two baskets waiting for my final 'make this purchase' click, thanks to you both. Haunui, who knew?? Funny you mentioned moss stitch during this show, since you provided company as I linked back a couple of rows to fix my moss stitch. Knitting Say Hello in Garthenor Number 1 Shetland, and I keep missing the moss rhythm because it's hard to see at night. Love your show!
I love how aligned we were!!! Haha and also that we can inspire you!!
I'm knitting on my 2nd Twigs now, and had the same issue as Carmen with a larger row gauge, so that my finished body is a lot longer than my preferred length. For her, I would suggest dividing for body and sleeves either just before or just after section 8 chart, and removing the section 9 and 11 charts completely. I think to preserve the balance of the colourwork, you need to remove 2 motifs, one large and one small. Something I also noticed when knitting my first Twigs is that the stitch count is quite small in the upper part of the yoke, where it's supposed to go over the shoulders, and if you're knitting that section on gauge then the sweater as a tendency to ride up at the front, fit quite high on the body and sometimes create a bulge at the front neck or the top of the back between the shoulders. To fix that I knitted the upper yoke on a larger needle, at 26sts/10cm, going down to a smaller needle after I divided for sleeves, and I find this creates a better fit.
Omg this is amazing info!! Thank you!!!!
If you're looking for brioche, check out Synaptic Stitches' Braided Bread sweater or Levain cardigan! They are knitted bottom up and seamed, but Jenn has lots of great "fearless knitting" tips to help you do all the techniques and fix mistakes!
This was such a great episode! I want to knit so many double silk/mo shawls now, and I don't even wear shawls--you two are just brimming with inspiration, as always my queue is now completely destroyed.
So, I have a WIP management strategy to share with you: check out Wool and Honey's "Gideon Method." Basically, you identify five languishing WIPs you want to finish, order them 1-5, and then picking up #1, work on it monogamously for either 12 knitting hours or until it's bound off, whichever comes first. Then, unless it's finished, it moves to the bottom of the pile again and you do the same with #2, etc. You never have to slog along for more than 12 hours of working on something, but it's a meaningful enough chunk of time that Progress Gets Made. If you have more than 5 languishing WIPs, you can add one to the list when something gets done. You can do it! I believe in you.
Thank you so much for these long, chummy episodes; I love them so much. Get another battery and do four hours, I'm here for it. xoxo
Bahahaha thank you and I would not be surprised if four hours is in our future!! And that is the most amazing wip management strategy Iâve heard! Iâm sooo going to do this! As soon as I finish my mastiha which suddenly, and surprisingly, rose to the top of my queue and is all I want to knit on right now. In the dead heat of summer đ
hooray, friends to keep me company on a morning of finishing/blocking one thing and thinking back to an error in a second... your good cheer has helped me get through it! definitely don't enjoy picking up (i have button bands to make on the thing that's blocking that i so. do. not. want. to. deal. with.), and didn't enjoy ribbing UNTIL i realized that it's because my default knitting style is english/throwing, and hence always having to let go of the needle while shifting the yarn back and forth -- on my recent test-knit for Teti that's almost ALL ribbing, i switched to continental and suddenly it was fine. (for plain stockinette i prefer the feeling of holding the yarn in my right, but i switch between styles pretty easily, thankfully.) and funny to see all of your summery knits on a morning where it's only 6°C here, "summer" means something very different in Iceland! but my sister in New York has asked me to try to recreate a camisole our grandmother made for her years ago, in cotton and silk held together, so that's my next cast-on -- so i'll be summery, too! thanks for the chat, i really needed it this morning! (p.s. LOVE that Diatom shawl, such amazing color despite missing out on the texture! bravo!! i may need to finally learn brioche... although one of my other projects is a test-knit using silk-merino lace held with suri lace, and the whole thing feels like a giant nest of kittens.)
and re: Carmen's WIP-down -- i can't help with the Stria, it's very not my colors nor style; Twigs i actually would recommend just ripping it out, there's too much you don't love about moving forward on it and you could find another colorwork pattern for the color combo. (this coming from someone who just ripped out half a full-colorwork body a few days ago, because one of the five colors just didn't belong there.) or maybe just rip out the motif you're in the middle of, as it looks too large to be the "bottom" of the yoke? not sure. my WIP that i needed to think back this morning (fixed now, and moving forward again) is Inese's Baltika shawl, and it's FABULOUS -- just the right amount of involved -- if you need another of hers to replace the one that's been ripped out.
and stats for the buy-for-specific-project or not: looking at my Ravelry page, out of 85 projects i've made since learning to knit (not counting the first few patternless attempts), 5 used yarn bought specifically for that project. and i can think of at least 10 piles of yarn stashed around my house that were bought for a project but not (yet?) made. so, definitely a buy-it-&-figure-out-what-to-do-with-it-later kind of girl.
Loved reading alllll of this Laura!!! Thank you for all your thoughts and I literally just cast off my instant crush where I had to do the last bit of ribbing and I took your advice and did it continental and it was so much better! Thank you!!
@@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765 hooray!! another FO!
Jackie & Carmen, Thank you so much for each of your Honesty with knitting. I am trying to be more intent with what goes on and off of the needles, This past week have had the bug to cast on 2 new projects-only have 1 other on the needles-have been trying to be a monogamous knitter but that isn't working for me. So on goes the pattern pairing with yarn and off I shall go. Can't wait to see your next video for the updates.
Thank you so much! And I feel like itâs a flow: be monogamous when youâre feeling monogamous, cast on new wips when you feel like you need them! Thank goodness there arenât any knitting police!!
Great episode :) If you would like to see how Andrea Mowry styles her asymmetrical triangle shawls, she includes a clip near the end of episode 22 of "I'll Knit if I Want To" (around the 30 minute mark). Yours turned out beautifully!
Oh thank you so much!!!!
Hi. I like both your tops. I like the beige color wool. Take Care. đ
Hi Jackie To finish your pink shawl I would do another contrast stripe then eyelets then a contrast stripe , more eyelets then as a border either corrugated rib ( using both colours) OR a two colour BRIOCHE band which would tie it all together and add texture
Oh yeeesssssss!!!
Thanks for another engaging video. Thank goodness purl soho is having a sale. đ
Haha thank you and I love this
Checking in late due to travel. Your WIP down was fantastic. I actually picked two wips to take on my travels with an in-process test knit. I was thrilled to have the wips as intermission pieces, knitting a few rows, when I wanted a break from my test project. Iâm keeping those two wips out and visible while I knit other items. Rather than look at hem and feel ugh, I now look at them and see theyâre like little plants that just grow at a slower pace đ. Carmen, maybe stop the Twig đŹ I hate to say it, but really think about your wips as a teeter-totter/see-saw balance⊠does your desire for the finished item bring the heavy weight of disliking the process into balance? Jackie, on the Moonstruck Knits shawlâŠ. Increase your needle size! Go to a US 3 or 4 - Nutiden is quite forgiving. The slightly larger needle will benefit you with a more drapey gauge, perfect for the outer section of the shawl. On Nutiden ShawlsâŠhave you tried Tetiâs Laneus ?! Itâs crescent shaped⊠I test knit it with one strand of Nutiden and one strand of silk mohair â€â€â€. For a brioche knit - just brioche on cuffs and shawl collar - take a peek at Natasjaâs Letho Cardigan. I have a few other wips chillin in a cabinet resting really cocooning until their becoming seems right. No worries about them or my stash. Sometimes I buy for a pattern but more often because the fiber or the maker/source speaks to me. I love the energy in its many forms. Thanks for the diversion!
Jackie, I am BEGGING you to bring the diatom shawl to Rhinebeck
Jackie, for the Aster shawl, do another wider strip of garter then do a deep band of BRIOCHE
I love this idea
I ALWAYS buy with a plan, except for Nutiden, and Iâd say my conversion rate is 95% đ in fact, I have a bundle on Ravelry which is called âshopping listâ, so I am prepared when the occasion arises đ Planning is definitely my favourite part of knitting! Please, Carmen do finish the Stria⊠I am gonna start mine soon and I need motivation đ
Omg I want to be like this!!! This is sooo good! Haha and Iâm literally on vacay and brought the stria to work on, only to realize that I didnât have the right size needles with me! Going home today though and thatâs task number one!!!
An idea for the Aster shawl: change it into something like the Batad by Stephen West, maybe? I think it is already the right size for that. The low contrast combination is very beautiful and I don't think you can frog one strand Nutiden easily, or at all. It is very light and will be nice to wear in the winter, at home.
Beautiful idea!
Loved you going through your WIPS, please go on ;) I've got 4 WIPs and the challenging one is a garter blanket I want to make big enough for our bed using 3.5mm needles. See the challenge? It'll get finished eventually (I hope)
Omg!!! I have wanted to make a blanket for so long! Haha even have the wool but itâs so daunting!! You will totally get it done though!!!
Hi. I like your videos and seeing your beautiful knits. I am about to finish an afghan for my granddaughter to take to her college when she goes back. I have been working on it for five or six weeks and it has 216 stitches across and it will be 65 inches long in the colors of dark purple and white. It is in Rios yarn and I am working on it in rows of garter stitch and it has some purl stitches. It feels so good to cover yourself with, and she will enjoy it. I have also in the works a smaller afghan for me with different colors of Rios yarn, and that is for me. I have been knitting now for four years daily and really like it. It is part of my day, and the motion of knitting relaxes me. Happy 4th of July and Take Care. đ
I love you ladies. Favorite podcast. Smart and funny and so much like me....love it! I need to make that shawl that is better than sex!!!! hahahah Yes more WIPS every episodes!
Aw Mindy!!!! Thank you! Heart all warm over here reading this!!
I have the Stria pattern...but if you can't finish it then I won't even cast on... it's sooooo cute!!
Hahaha I would go with âdonât do itâ!
Love the wip show! Jackie, have a look at the Bohemian Wrap by Polo Sylvie, (Isabel Kramer knit this pattern in gorgeous colours that I tried to copy). The pattern has an easy, great lace edging/lace frill that you might like for your Aster shawl.
Jackie, maybe for the Natasha shawl just do garter or twisted rib fir the remainder? I donât know if those stitches would work with the existing? I am thinking you could stripe the two like the Nostalgia shawl by Elena Nodel?
Great ideas!!!! Thank you!!!
Jackie, what might it look like to add a brioche section to your shawl like Andrea Mowry has in her Satellite shawl?
I really like this brioche idea!!
3 hours? Yippee đ
Happy 4th of July, from Swansea, Illinois.
Most of the time I don't have an actual plan for the yarn when I buy... just if it's a sweater quantity or not. If I do buy with a specific intention, so far that is what it becomes.
Love this discipline!!
Charts are much better in landscape for those of us using cocoknits makers board
Ooooohhhhh. That makes sense!
What if you make the twigs into a shrug?....lol...less than 3 minutes after I posted it then you started talking about it đ
I think it would totally work!
I will def consider this!!!
I love that Diatom shawl!! Iâd love to knit with some Haunui, but Iâm not a spinner. Do you know of anyone with Haunui blend yarn available? Iâve been googling, but havenât had any luckâŠ.
Love your podcast! Who is designer of the shawls that are works of art. Would love to see them. Thanks
Hi Jane! Thanks for catching that - the designer is Inese Sang + the shawl we were talking about was Annelieâs Autumn Shawl, which we show in Episode 6. Definitely check her out, we adore everything she knits!
Finish the shawl in 2 colour brioche
Love this!!!
I feel like I wanted to pickup the phone and jump into the wips conversation! I'm currently making the twigs and now Im scared. What were you talking about the collar? I've just spent two days procuring the right needles and cord length and now I feel like its really small. Like maybe too small to get over my head! any advice would be geatly appreciated.
Omg Angela! I get it! Iâll let Jackie answer this bc sheâs the one who actually knows but I think I remember hers was too small at first? Also there was a weird flappy part?
Jackie, Where do you buy your Nutiden? Specifically the one used for Sweater 28? Thank you.
Hi Susan! Nutiden is released by Honer Och Eir in collections throughout the year and the colourways are never repeated! đ But if you follow them on instagram or sign up for their newsletter, youâll get to see the new offerings as they come out and hopefully one will spark your interest! If you want more info on Nutiden and working with it check out our first few episodes! Haha we go on and on!
@@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765 Hi Jackie! LOVE your podcast and I must say thank you as the patterns and yarn you highlight are wonderful! I just made Sweater 28 (used same yarn as you did) and adore it. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question on Nutiden!
Carmen, can you make the Twig into a poncho?
This is smart and I will see if can!!
The twigs sweater is beautiful but ... I would rip it.
Carmen- I think you should rip out the Twig. Your face and sigh when you were talking about it seemed like misery more than joy. If you have to have the product, then give yourself a dedicated amount of limited time to work on it each day- like 3-5 rows. Time is too precious to spend on a WIP that isn't sparking joy, hope or excitement. It's beautiful but you can make something else beautiful with that yarn. And have Jackie rip it out for you if it's too hard for you.
The lighting is very blown out when I watch this on my Chromecast wĂth Google TV. If I watch on my Samsung tablet or Pixel phone it seems not so bad. I miss the days where you recorded in the basements. Not only was the lighting better but the dogs seem to behave better as well.
