Hello Kathryn, so nice to have found you! What a lovely podcast and beautiful knits you have made.
I live in New Zealand so we are in the depths of winter, which I love because I can wear my knits.
I’m currently working on a Birkin by Caitlin Hunter and a vest for my husband from some locally spun yarn 😊
Your projects sound perfect! My aunt and her family live in the Marlborough region and I keep meaning to visit, it’s just so far to go! Enjoy the sweater weather 🥰
I think that's funny, my partner and I were just talking about watching the animals and birds more. I think we added more squirrels and rabbits to the list as well when we turned 50.
We think it's because our bodies slow down which forces us to notice more. We enjoy resting more which gives us the opportunity to gaze about you. I think growing older is a Fantastic and beautiful process and that's why I no longer care what people think about me and I'm happier than I've ever been in my life. I wish I could have paused earlier to have realized the things I know now, but I am always growing... Older 😊💙🥰
I completely agree; enjoy the journey! Also, I love it in the early summer when all the little fledglings are hopping about :)
This is my first time here. I’m really thankful that I found you. I am a new Netter. I’ve made one tank top and I’m making my first pair of socks. I’m on the first sock so maybe I’ll show those to you when I’m done. I’m on the toe. I am pretty proud of myself. You are a delight .
Hello and welcome! Tank tops can be tricky so that is a massive win! I would love to see your socks; feel free to join the #MBMThriftyMAL24 on Instagram or ravelry with them if you like! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Your Old Fashioned Cardigan looks amazing 💙
Thank you! My partner is very pleased with it and it is a good pattern. Thank you for watching 🥰
... Moomin socks!!!
Just let me know which ones you want and I might be able to finish them in about 2 years 🥰
I'm also an enthusiastic intermediate who learned a as kid. That Saltkraken Tee is really lovely.
Thank you :) the isager trio 2 feels lovely 🥰
I am a shawl maniac amd love your shawl!! What a beautiful cardigan you finished for your husband. It looked great on him. I had to smile at his bold choice of colors for the new hat.
I am in for the MAL. What serendipity! I just sat this evening frogging a blanket I was crocheting. It was all loose in the beginning rows...horrible. And I fell out of love with the idea of the pattern. I was doing a video call with my mother and brother and commented as a joke I must have been on drugs when I started it. 😮 And then we all three realized that I was. I was have a major medical treatment for an eye disease. This was so not normal for me. So I pulled leftovers from a previous blanket to mix with these and do something completely different. I am excited to use up this old yarn and get it out of my stash. So glad I found your podcast as I love your enthusiasm and Moomin love! 🧶
Oh wow that is a rollercoaster of a story! I hope that you are fully recovered now :) Casting on projects while under the influence will never end well 😂 I am excited to see what you will cast on for the MAL :) Thank you for watching 🥰
My first thought on the men’s cardigan was a zipper. I just discovered your podcast this morning from Minnesota USA.
I completely agree and suggested that as an option to the designer. Having finished my first version though I would definitely recommend going up a size to increase the positive ease. Thank you for watching 🥰
Love the shawl test knit. I check her rav page to late and missed it! Nice job! Love the cardigan too! Made the single malt for my husband and he loves it!
Oh no! Next time, and I am sure the pattern will be out fairly soon :) Thank you for coming back again! 🥰
Excited for the MAL! I was just casting on a stash/thrifted top as I was watching, so perfect timing!
Yay! That sounds perfect! I look forward to see what you will cast on! Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn- thanks for putting together the MAL. I think I will knit a summer shawl using yarn that was given to me , which I then dyed. I think that satisfies the thrifty requirement 😁
Sounds great! And you are right; very thrifty 😂 I’m looking forward to seeing your project 🥰
Don't you just hate it when your other hobbies get jealous of you knitting and start mocking you in the corner?! UH, the worst! 😂 However, I did realize that all my sewing bags and quilts would come in handy and I decided that I would make project bags. So far I have one cut out but would love to finish it and then make some clear with zippers.
.... Just had a thought, Could I use that as items for the MAL? Also I want to remake a shawl I just finished not to long ago. It's really bad, I knew it and I didn't care. My Dad passed May 6th and it was what I was knitting. Straight garder stitch back and forth, simple increase & decrease. I would knit rows and rows, miss doing them, just added on to get my st count right & went on. It was fantastic! Exactly what I needed. I didn't care about it, I just needed to knit with no rules. It's probably going to need a wash after froging, lots of tears landed on it I'm sure, but I loved it. The thing is, I also now, that I'm doing some better, I need the shawl I cast on for and did want to make. And maybe this time correctly, thinking wonderful thoughts & happiness put into it... Sorry for that, but anyone's opinion is welcome.
Absolutely! They would be perfect for the MAL! Genuinely all crafts are welcome; just enjoy the making process! I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Sometimes our crafts can certainly provide soothing comfort but they certainly absorb our actions and feelings while we are making. Make whatever makes you feel good at the time :) Thank you so much for watching 🥰
HI Bandana looks like great fun.
It is such a cute little knit :) I will post some pics on Instagram in the next few days. Thank you for watching 🥰
Just started watching you. I love your bubbly personality and your lovely projects.🥰
Welcome and thank you for finding me and for the lovely comment! I hope you are having a good week 🥰
Hi, thank you for sharing your makes and inspirations.
Handmade by Florence on CZcams has got the mooin book and is making the house socks.
I'm sure Jana from Finish knitting stories would love this also.
It feels like you hear no one mentioning moomins then all at once. 😂😂😂
I know exactly what you mean! I don't think Moomins can ever be mentioned too often 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰
Hi! I really liked the Old fashioned cardigan, and it looks good on your partner! The musselburgh hat is also amazing in the kiwi color, it really makes nice stripes! I also really like your mother's blanket, maybe someday you could show it a bit more? and tell us about the pattern? Also if you ever come to Greece and find some nice yarn, or if your mother in law recommends some, could you please share it? I am Greek and I don't know of many good quality Greek yarns, except cotton... thank you very much for this episode!🤎
Hello! I will certainly ask my mum about the pattern and ask her for some details :) The only reason we have it is that my partner saw it and claimed it when we were visiting 😂 I will also ask my mother in law about yarn but from what I have seen, the best Greek yarn in cotton yarn however Sip & Knit in Brussels had some Treliz which I believe is Greek origin. It was very soft! treliz.eu Thank you for watching 🥰
Stunning shawl!!!😍
Thank you 🥰 It is a lovely pattern and I can highly recommend it!
Thank you for another great podcast. I have just gauge swatched for the single malt sweater for my husband. After seeing your cardigan version that may become an option as well.
Yay! Do it! I am feeling like casting on the sweater version too! Thank you for coming back again 🥰
Haven’t knit a shawl for quite a while, so I will knit one in the mal. Thanks for doing this mal, looking forward to it
Yay! That sounds perfect! I am looking forward to seeing what you choose to make :) Thank you for watching 🥰
I’ve chosen the may I borrow this please.
That’s going to be so nice! Becky from the @backtoblighty podcast was how I found out about that pattern :)
Hi from sunny San Diego! Oh my, that Old Fashioned cardigan is gorgeous! Do you happen to know when it will be released? I really would like to make one for my husband, or even myself! Happy to join the MAL as I’m using up very old starship of cotton yarn to make a self drafted Tunisian crochet bed cover. Hope it’s ok to join with something already started. If not, I’ve got lots of stash and patterns to choose from. Enjoy the summer months and the rest of the Euro Cup. We were there in Paris 7 or 8 years ago during a Euro Cup and it was crazy. I imagine it will be crazy again with the Olympics there this summer. Thanks again for another lovely video.
Hi in sunny San Diego! I am not sure when the Old Fashioned will be released but the deadline for the test is Sunday 7 July so I imagine the turnaround won't be that long. WIPs are 100% welcome so bring along your bed cover! I am looking forward to seeing it. The Euro Cup has been a little crazy but my city isn't hosting any of the games so I am just experiencing queues at the border coming from the Netherlands to Germany which is a novelty because normally the only sign that you have passed the border is a message on your phone informing you of local emergency numbers! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Kathryn, I started watching your podcast when I realised you and I both were test knitting The Old Fashioned Cardigan for Max. I just finished mine and I must say I really feel your pain about that mistake in the stitch pattern! I found mine as I was picking up for the button band. Needless to say, I decided to just pretend it was never there 😂
Hello and thank you for finding me! Your decision was definitely the more sensible 😂 I am a glutton for punishment though and am thinking of doing another one. Other than when it was really hot yesterday, my partner has worn it to work every day and I think he needs a second one! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@madebymoomeeno Haha I just had this crazy idea to give mine to my brother, which would give me a perfect excuse to make another one for myself 😂there must be something about this pattern that makes us do it. Some spell, I'm pretty sure 😉
That is an excellent idea! Especially as I have just seen Max has started a KAL for the pattern with some very generous prizes!
I think I'm going to have to make that fabulous Old fashioned Cardigan for your dad, love it ❤ Another great podcast 😘
Do it! Thank you for always being so supportive x x x x 🥰
I wasn't going to buy any yarn 😊💞
I know. I have a problem 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰
