Oh my goodness…a master class with Gudrun! It was her half day class in Santa Fe in December that got me going on my colorwork. You’re going to have SO much fun. I wish I was going! Gudrun taught us about color dominance and explains if you’re an English knitter like me or Continental. I refer to my notes from the class when I start colorwork now. The class and my notes are so valuable! That Seaton sweater blows me away, full stop.

Another great episode. Enjoy your weekend away. Amazing to both love knitting so can enjoy the same activity away.

Cannot wait to see how your solo retreat goes!

Great colour selection for your Te Hūpēnui Beanie Stephen...the heathered colours add an extra dimension. Thanks for the shout out for Wairarapa Wool Weekend. See you there! 🙂🧶

Brilliant episode . WIP anxiety ! YES . I can only 2 WIPS at a time. Thank you for the yarn dominance conversation, you explained it perfectly for my brain. I’ve been doing it the wrong way round. 😅

Thanks for another great episode. I love watching fellow kiwi knitters. I love colourwork, so yes, think colour dominance is important, and a ' thing' . Steeking is a skill I need to learn still. 😊looking forward to next episode . Happy knitting. Looking forward to next episode. S

Will be seeing you at WWW my friend and I are there for Saturday (James class) and dinner then will be hanging around social space Sunday 🎉

What a great selection of knits. So inspiring, I like a crew necked raglan too. I’m not sure what my favourite knit of the year is, interesting question!

Bebe, that Marie Wallen is gorgeous! Once the labor is done it will make you smile. Be proud of that amazing accomplishment!

Beautiful color work in those hats. Stephen, can you please share what book you have been reading about Fair isle knitting? Glad you are feeling better. You did look a bit flushed in that last episode!

Regarding the colour dominance, the lower lying yarn has less distance to go and therefore there is less slack in the yarn, compared to the top lying yarn which has further to go to wrap around the needle so a wee bit of slack is incorporated into the stitch, which means it can sink down in the fabric . If I’m not using the MC but 2 of the CCs, I decide which of those I want to stand out more.

Be seeing you guys at WWW!

I live in California, my cousin lived in New Zealand for a while. He sent me 4 balls of Possum yarns. I don't know what to make with it.

Hi there 🧶❤️ and thank you for being such a nice knitting company this evening❣️ Hugs from Sweden 🇸🇪 //Titti

I know you like to hear of wool festivals so wondered if you are going to the Wairarapa Wool Weekend on 20 March in Greytown. The website has just gone live. It is hosted by James Herbison of the Joy of Yarn in Greytown and the guest tutor is Gudrun Johnston. Unfortunately, her day class sold out within one minute of going live last night, but I am booked into another of her classes - The Hapkerchief. I am really excited to be going, not far -- just from Auckland, but it will be a great weekend.

Blasippa looks fantastic Bebe. I do hope Redford finds its way out of the naughty corner! I'm nearly finished the first sleeve of Lento.

Yay - you did it!!!

Very happy to see that you liked the Grist sweater and plan to knit it! The one I knit fits Mark well and it has lots of lovely design details. You two take on such complicated projects and make beautiful garments. A new-ish podcaster that I enjoy immensely is Genevieve in the North. She also made a brilliant video essay about Virginia Woolf and knitting references in her work and Genny knits a pair of green socks that relate to Woolf's work as part of the essay....it's on her UA-cam home page.

Delightful! Learn so much and inspired! And. Love your New Zeland accents! It’s such a pleasure to listen to both of you as you support encourage and net with each other! Very rare and beautiful. Love learning about all the different patterns and different yarn fibers available in your part of the world! Thank you so much. I’m very tempted to knit the Blesser ., What a beautiful pattern and yours is absolutely gorgeous on you. Wear it in good health!

Another lovely podcast. My UA-cam content sounds very similar to yours. “Needles at the ready” is another good podcast as they both knit men’s garments so you may get some good ideas for sweaters there as well. Jonathan Day is also good.

I LOVE Jimmy Does Knitting! The man's videos don't get nearly enough views.

You guys were particularly funny today, loved it :)

Oh I did love seeing round Outlaw Yarn - that wall of colour - makes you want it all. Love listening to your podcast and the way you show off the beautiful local to you yarn.

Love your knits and podcast, so enjoyable.

Absolutely love everything the both of you make. 'UA-cam is our TV', lol, same here too, love watching knitting channels, history, lifestyles of other countries etc.

Am so enjoying your podcast, hearing of your travels and seeing your wips, finished articles etc. I too did Ethan’s top down raglan class Bebe. I started with the cardigan but made a mistake so have not gone further. Have been inspired today to frog it and start again doing the jumper. Am also inspired by your Blasippa. I have the Laine with the pattern and think I shall put that on my list to knit. Loved seeing the tour of Outlaw. I live in north Auckland and sadly haven’t made it down to Christchurch for a number of years. That is also on my list to do again. Thanks again to you both, just love watching your podcast.

Wow the Blåsippa is stunning ❤

Great roundup Bebe, for what it's worth I think you struck the perfect balance of quick but still informative! So many beautiful garments 🥰

The cuffs look absolutely fabulous

That pink looks so good on you

Ka pai to mahi korua!

Thank you sooooo much for the yarn dye tour!🎉

I love your podcasts...so glad I found you on here

Really enjoying all your knitting progress.

$17US just to ship the magazine with the Blåsippa pattern. 😢 It's gorgeous and love the rich cherry red you picked!!! Hopefully Ravelry can get downloadable pattern link.

Love it when a new episode of yours comes up. Love just listening and knitting with you.

Your color work Sweater is absolutely beautiful

Congrats, enjoying your podcasts. My favourite hat is the Quartet Hat by NZ designer Bronwyn Carroll.

Thank-you for your very entertaining podcasts. I am in awe of your beautiful knits. My favourite hat pattern is the Classic Ribbed Hat by Purl Solo.

Love your podcast. My favourite hat is Langfield by Martina Behm. It is an adjustable hat and you can use any gauge and yarn.

Hallo from South Africa! Watching you from the start and you’re one of my favourites 🎉. Re raglan, you can honestly knit it with any gauge and just try it on for fit. It’s my go to construction. I can start with any amount of stitches and choose different increases for each one… zi also prefer magic loop. For sleeves you can turn the sleeve one side then back. With shorties the sleeve has to turn around and around which I find frustrating. Also I knit English style and the way I rest the needle in my hand makes that I just can’t knit with shorties

I find that the steek stays together better if you leave bigger gaps between the two steek columns.

Beautiful sweater, and the steek looks good too. I always follow Kate Davies' tutorial witch is very well explained on her website, and as far as I can tell, you did it the same way. :)

Well done, I’ve not seen the crochet reinforcement before, so nice to get to observe the outcome. Looks great so will definitely give it a try ❤

Congratulations on reaching 1K subscribers! I knew it wouldn't take long. My favourite hat pattern is the annual Shetland Wool Week hats, I knit one every year. I've recently came across My Bakers Hat, recently finished one for my husband. I like the Down The Line Beanie, available on Ravelry. I used 2 colours with the last one I made for my brother, a simple pattern but very effective finish

Another great episode Bebe and Stephen. I was sorting my stash and seem to not have a lot of garment amounts of wool so hats and socks it will have to be. I will also be interested in what hats other knitters love, but I will also be casting on Musselburgh soon. The other hats I have mainly knitted are the Shetland hats each year.

Well done! Gorgeous sweater!

Great job, Bebe! I’ve put my Seaton aside for the moment, but pretty close to knitting flat. You mentioned the way Marie holds the hook, and it’s not just fiddly, but really hurt my hands! That being said, she did it so that the edges are pulled apart a bit more to make the point of cutting more visible -at least that’s what I understood! Did you notice the area where you began the steeks was a bit looser than the rest? Debating ripping back to start the steek again. Thanks for posting this video! Lisa

Musselburgh is a great hat pattern. I have made it for all the family. Usually I make it with 2 colours so it becomes reversible. 2 hats in one.

Bebe, thanks for sharing your steeking video. I'm just now starting my first cardigan sweater with steeking. I'm quite nervous about it, but I really want to learn this process! So I'm diving in... 🧶✂🐇
