    I can confirm that hydrangeas are a pH sensitive flower and acid makes pink. Also, pretty sure your marigold + iron really is marigold. The green looks like what I'm familiar seeing with marigold + iron.

    I think the Dandelion stitch is PERFECT for a vertical top (side to side) creation!! I’m here for the tank pattern release! Re stripes: you could have 3 stripes on each sleeve (bicep area on one, lower arm on other) and/or lower body stripes (3 to match…or not)! Stripes, for some reason, seem to make knitting work up faster…hmm Your sewing is great! Only you can see the “oopsies”. Math-ing is everywhere, and I love playing with math. My problem is trying to create (using knitting) a 3-D vision in my head & then mapping out onto paper (2-D). Pre-internet, pre-UA-cam… I did a lot of library research, and called on friends who had kids in high school for their math/geometry/ knowledge! Thanks for another peek at my new fave: Dandelion stitch! Underarm shaping is (or can be) a challenge, especially for a tighter fitting garment. Can’t wait for a tank pattern❤️❤️!!

    Its great to be original and creative. I knit & crochet. I prefer knitting because it's finer and uses less yarn. I learned much from patterns & zoom courses to make a few cardigans and tops. Enough to go further on any Ravelry knit. I used to sew and learned from mom as well in school. That was last done 30 years ago! I recently gave my girl my machine and bought a new one for myself. I joined as well a sewing course that teaches pattern making and styling as well before the sewing steps. I am on my 3rd class of 14. I highly recommend investing in something you love to do. And learn & frog till you understand it. It takes time and experience. Goodluck. It is Fun.

    Hear you! In the past, I made a thing (knit) that could only be tried on when shaping etc was complete. Frogged many times, adding adjustments… No. More. I’ll make a top or sweater w a true pattern, modifying after to suit. Can’t help you with sewing. Perhaps a nearby fabric shop has classes? I really like the tank tops! I plan on knitting a top/camisole or two (well… have yarn + pattern ready…) My problem: I’m mentally modifying the pattern BEFORE I’ve made the thing. Sheesh! Because fingering weight, bottom up (so no trying on til done, boo-hoo), and maybe I’ll crochet a top, much faster! But, that gauge & size bit … sigh Keep trying allll the things that make you happy! Eventually you’ll get the sewing figured out! I bounce between knit and crochet when those frustrating “oopsies” or “ugh” fit issues crop up. Knit issue? Crochet a tote or basket. Anywho, good luck & be sure to have fun!

    • @fiberandfox

    Citric acid and vinegar are not mordants. They are binders which change the pH of the water (more acidic) to help the colour bind to the yarn / fabric. But this effect doesn't last, so the colour will wash out or fade pretty quickly. Real mordants assist the dye to chemically bind to the yarn/fabric. Also, you should always keep jars, pots or utensils used for dyeing separate to those you use for food. You talked about safety and then used hydrangea which is toxic!

    PJs. Kitties. Yarn. Yup! I watch whenever you post! Had to laugh re counting… yes, I too forget how to count. And I mean between 2 and 15. Sheesh. I’m working on a picot bind off (shawl)… CO 2, BO 4. No audiobooks or vids, until I finish. Which is okay, cuz I ALWAYS have ends to weave in (socks-lots of), always have easy-peasy pick up whenever project (which includes more socks)… Flower Fields… love those bright happy colors in the shawl! Now I want that exact color scheme! Surely there’s something in stash, right?? maybe? Baby bootees are such fun! I made up my own (garter) pattern years ago & keep in a ziploc bag. Handy when I see/meet a wee little one! Thanks for a few giggles, inspiration, and kitty!

I recently treated myself to the Knitter’s Pride Sweet Affair needle set. It also comes with a full skein of yarn and 3 minis, I couldn’t figure out what I wanted the main yarn to be but I think this shawl pattern might be it. It’s mainly green yarn with pink, white and blue. I hope it’ll give the same meadow vibes that your yarn does! I’m crying at the diaper changing chicken! That’s hilarious

    This video has provided me with much-needed clarity. I'm thankful for the wisdom imparted in this video. What inspired the theme of using natural dyes to create rainbows in your podcast episode, and how do you incorporate this theme into your crochet and knitting projects? As someone who runs a dream interpretation channel, how can the colors and symbolism of rainbows in crafting be interpreted in dreams? I appreciate the creativity and unique content of your podcast, and I've liked and subscribed for more inspiring episodes.

    Totally agree w your intro re acrylic = crochet … I crocheted for a gazillion years, taught myself to knit, now have a decent (ahem…) amount of stash, and lovin’ all of it! I’m glad to see you promote crochet items that are “different” than the usual crochet bits. I enjoy ALL things, but especially different crochet stitches (sc, dc, tc is fine…but…). Various textures (stitches) keep my interest in a project. I plan to get this scarf + Dandelion shawl pattern in very near future… I’m sure there are more patterns in my queue, & I look forward to making a whole lotta things! Thanks for creating patterns, sharing dye stories, all projects!

    So what ball winder would you recommended? My knitpicks ballwinder just died. I got yarn caught in it, so after opening to unstick the yarn. I found out that the clicking problem its always had, that sometimes would happen, was cause by the fact the gear plate inside is missing teeth/broken teeth and I now need to repace it.

      THIS ONE! Stanwood Needlecraft Large Metal Yarn/Fiber/Wool/String Ball Winder - 10 oz a.co/d/2QtA15h STANWOOD 10OZ has held up beautifully and is an absolute beast of a workhorse! Couldn't recommend more!

    I love magic loop for sock knitting, but haven’t tried the flyers yet. Dpn’s were confusing to me after learning on magic loop and my hands cramped with 9” circulars. I say use whatever gets and keeps you knitting ! Honestly, I l really love the low contrast colors on the first pair of color work socks you showed. I’d prefer that over a high contrast personality. At least on camera the pattern does stand out in a subtle way which is beautiful. The Sock Knitting Bible is one of my go-to books, but I haven’t tried color work yet. You’ve motivated me to give it a try!

    Your new cardigan looks super cute on you, in my opinion and paired with the socks etc…. Even better!! Only you can decide on the other sweater, but I would not buy more mohair and finish it if you do not love it. Cut your losses and either frog it Or trash it. I don’t have patience for frogging and separating so I would choose to trash it. However, If you can enlist help with that then that’s the ticket! I am enjoying your content! 😀

    How long does the color last? Light fade? Washing?

    • @fiberandfox
      @fiberandfox 5 місяців тому

      Properly mordanted colors (& made with light fast pigments) should last a long time. But certain colors fade faster than others and are more sensitive to sunlight. You kinda have to go case by case as you choose dye materials.

    Love the Daft Days! I hear ya on unraveling multiple strands of yarn! Other ideas for the Mayhem: Frog, keep 2 strands as is, large to larger needles, make poncho or capelet thing. I’m currently using up a LOT of various acrylic bits, 2 to 3 strands, large hook, round sc baskets. Last 2 = 12” acr, 9” height. And yes, I STILL have some freaky yarn purchased in my early crafting days… I have donated/given away approx 4 lg garbage bags of misc yarn I’ll never use. I’ve made umpteen blankets, no need for more! Maybe others will have more ideas for the monster thing. If you can, separate the mohair, cowl? hat? I feel the pain!

      I think I am going to enlist my mom or sister and try and unravel the two from each other and cut my losses. The gauge is really messing with my wrists so I'm calling it. Rip mohair muppet monster. I'm sure I'll find a use eventually!

  • @EvieO1950
    @EvieO1950 5 місяців тому

    No way I would order more yarn for that muppet sweater or start over again. I’d let it go and frog it and use the two yarns still together and make a pillow cover or table runner or sone other home decor. Love the stripey socks with the brown.

    • @fiberandfox
      @fiberandfox 5 місяців тому

      Leaning heavily in that direction especially because the gauge is hurting my hands/wrists. So that's a nope. I *may* try to split the yarns but this sweater is dead to me 😭
