You have been busy. Love your sorrel. I have that one in my queue 😊

Your son is beautiful. 🥰 I really like your No-Fuss Cable Beanie design. 🧶Great job on your Bubble wrap, Strawberries and Cream Baby Blanket, and Sorrel Sweater. Your Sweet Gleam Cardigan is super cute. I like the white stripes. It provides a nice contrast. It's NOT ugly! 😄 Love Ira's videos! 💜 Emilia’s colour tip shirt is adorable. Love the colors! I'm so happy that life is going well for you.

Great to see you’re back. I loved your travelling with knitting video too. Just to let you know you definitely showed up in my feed 😊

Lovely projects! I’ve been crafting from stash too and am catching up on recording my projects online. Thanks for the knitting motivation! 😊 -stuffemmymakes

We don't use weight at all.

It’s so good to see you back Kat! Thank you for the tips, especially around checking the country’s border control website rather than the airline. I’ve been very luckily with taking my knitting on planes for both domestic and international flights, but it’s good to know that this is another thing I can check. I looking forward to catching up with you again soon 💗

I had no problem knitting on a plane anywhere in the U.S. nor in China UNTIL there was a high-level international meeting scheduled in Beijing and security was amped up. Suddenly knitting needles became a security risk and were conviscated.

welcome back! I have heard of people using a dental floss container as a yarn cutter as well. I think the airline staff would have at least one pair of scissors on the plane eg in a first aid kit, so I think you could potentially ask the airline staff to cut your yarn for you. another thing I have heard but not personally experienced is that wooden or bamboo needles are less suspicious than metal ones (although that wouldn't work for me personally as I am a metal needles gal).

Instant follow when I saw you were wearing a mask!

Thanks for the tips! I live in NC near the RDU airport, so these tips will be very helpful. It is so good to see you again.

I like how your room is so organised, I have a spare room which I have my craft stuff dumped in which I want to organise but I don't know where to start as it is a small room with a bed in it, I not only do spinning I also dabble in water colours I have a couple of rigid heddle weaving looms and 3 wheels and lots of fibre ! ! ! Plus I still have some of my 2 daughter's stuff which I keep asking them to sort out but I think I am just going to have to get rid of myself.......... they haven't lived at home for years but I hate to toss out their things as my mum did it to me when I was a little girl !

Great to see you back and perfect timing as I’m planning an overseas trip. I was worried about taking my chiaogoo stainless steel tips as they are quite pointy and could be seen as a weapon. So I might just take a pair of socks to knit on small circulars.

I've missed your videos - welcome back and I hope you and your family are doing well! ❤

Hi Kat: What is the name of the sweater you are wearing? It looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ❤

Thank you for the information, it was extremely helpful.

A great video Kat

Yay welcome back Kat. I too had my scissors taken but no trouble with needles, we are headed back to the UK next year so will have to take my yarn cutter from Lisa and see how I go.

Brillant international Yarn 🧶 weight/name chart!! 👏🏼 👏🏼 Brava! Also, excellent explanation overall n most importantly - recommending a gauge swatch before starting a pattern. Yarn.sub reference also good, especially for Americans n Canadians. Another topic, perhaps for another vid, would be to explain Yarn textile types n how Yarn is processed (twisted, chain, single ply, etc.). Ex: A cotton DK chained Yarn will look, feel, stretch, work up n block very differently than a spun single ply DK acrylic would do. So, added explanation of how Natural fibers behave very differently than man-made, etc. Great job 👍🏼 n nice graphics.

Thank you. This is so interesting and informative. We in South Africa seem to have a simpler system - or maybe it's just because we haven't caught up with the rest of the world yet. 😊 Traditionally we haven't ever used the term "yarn". We call everything wool even if it doesn't have a single strand of actual wool in it. We have 3 ply yarn, which is used mainly for baby garments and blankets, etc, 4 ply which is like fingering weight (my personal favourite but not too freely available anymore), DK or double knitting, and chunky. I see that Aran weight is becoming more available now. There also more bulky yarns available but not many. Although we are a wool exporting country unfortunately we don't have as wide a variety of yarns available to us here. It's also not easy to buy yarns from other countries because of the cost. That doesn't stop is from carrying on with our knitting and crocheting, though.

This was very hellpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing this 😊

Really love your joining technique

I knew you'd have exactly the tutorial I needed. I found a beautiufl mosaic slipped stitch in a vintage stitch dictionary recently and wanted to give it a go in a pair of socks. Thanks so much!

My understanding of superwash is that they use a special process to add plastic to the yarn. Much like how nylon helps to prevent felting and increases the durability. I'd love a review of Australian yarn that is non superwash, no nylon. My motivation for knitting my own peices is to avoid synthetic fibres in my clothes.

I work with mohair occasionally because it makes the finished project look much more lustrous than knitting without.

Am I incorrect, one of the lady's with the above the shoulder length hair and glasses, is Jane who has the Mindful Making podcast? Women are expected to find their own meeting places. Some Libraires thankfully do host knitting groups due to Councils not providing a dedicated Makers home. CWA has literally fizzled out. Women makers should push for She Sheds.

Your Topper turned out beautifully! Those sleeves look 👌👌. I also especially love your baby grandpa cardigan and scrappy blanket. Hope everything has going well with you and the new baby!

So helpful! Thank you!

Thank you so much Learning about yarn is such a headache but you made it so easy Can’t thank you enough

Ha ha I’m in the U.S. and I’m completely confused now for sure. I don’t think I’ll be venturing out of my narrow comfort zone 😊 Thank you for your efforts?

Thank u , i live in the USA and purchased 2 baby outfit sets accidently in Aran yarn and have been trying to figure out how to substitute it for a medium 4 weight yarn with a recomended hook size of 5 mm. Thanx to your charts i realize its pretty much the same thing and it shouldnt matter with making these baby closthes. Ty and God bless!

So helpful. I’m an Aussie in Canada and you just saved me hours of confusion. Most yarn I see here in the US or UK/Europe weight chart. But wow was that helpful. Thank you thank you!!!

The answer is- YES. I absolutely in love with mohair! But... If you make a mistake and need to take some apart, it is very difficult.

Best explanation ever! Sure wish i had found this alot sooner. Saving this for reruns as im sure im gonna need it❣

Thank you so much for this!!! I’ve been searching for days to find a tutorial to help me figure out how to knit with two colors without the second color ending up way down the row and not carrying with the work. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ❤

Super pretty pattern ❤

Does this also work in the round?

Thank you for your honest opinion. I don’t like yarn that’s too fuzzy and sheds too much. I have some mohair but when I realized how scratchy it is and the shedding. I decided it’s not for me.

I’m trying to find someone who shows how to wind mohair with a swift and ball winder. Any secrets? Most of mine has come in balls but I was given to skeins that must be wound in some way. What is best?

Your Newborn Vertebrae is so cute! Enjoy your break. 💜

Enjoy your time off Kat. Wishing you all the best for the arrival of your son. Whilst you are having a break. I plan to knit some of your patterns that have been in my queue for awhile 😊

Thank you for all the details! I love your joy for the craft! No-purl Ribbed Blanket from Purl Soho Wish you all the best for your growing family! 😘

You’ll be missed over here and I’ll look forward to your return, until then enjoy you fam time 😊

All the best Kat for the safe arrival of your precious bub. Enjoy the time with your family xx

Congratulations on your wonderful news. I wish you all the very best with the babies health, it will all work out and you do have family to rely on. Thank you for your previous tutorials and podcast. I look forward to seeing you, hearing more on what you are doing. Anyway, please take care and Good luck ❤.

I’m so pleased for you and your partner!! Congratulations!!! Can definitely spare and prayer!

I get my yarn from china and it’s so confusing. Apparently 5 ply yarn from there is similar to dk while 8 ply is a worsted or bulky depending on the brand and it’s so confusing

Congratulations on your pregnancy, Katrina 💐 I'd love to know what the jumper pattern is that your wearing today. Cheers 😊

Really enjoyed your podcast😊

Lovely to see you at Fibrefest yesterday. Looking forward to seeing the skein you chose for the cardigan ❤
