Hi Lynn, it sounds as if you appreciate and like natural fibres in clothing, including knitted items. As much as possible, I’m a natural gal. I like natural fibres, cottons, wool and yarns. I do still knit with acrylics but they have to be really soft. Cheers!
Thanks for your comments. With all the business of the holidays it’s taking me a bit to get to my comments and reply to them, so thanks for being patient. Hope you’re looking forward to the new year. Cheers.
Hi Sue:. Just found your podcasts. ( I'm close to you you, Waterloo!). I have used cotton in a Drops Halo tee, soft and comfortable. The yolk turned out to be a lot of fun. I'm very interested in knitting the Ranunculus, yours are beautiful.
Hey, welcome from Waterloo. My Bachelor of Arts and Social work degrees (2 of those) are from Waterloo. I went on to do my Masters from the US. I was a late bloomer, started my schooling when I was 38, as a single parent. Waterloo wrote an article about me studying, and so on, and how I had lunch with Oprah. I was on one of her shows, not in the audience, actually a guest. I’m retired now 5 years. I started knitting after an operation. I was recuperating and a friend brought in some wash cloths (knitted). I said to myself, I can make these… In the past year I’ve set a goal to expand my knitting skills. I knit just about every day and enjoy it a lot. The Ranunculus was a lot of fun. Being an “analyzer” by nature, I was trying to figure out why I liked it so much. Here is my summary, it’s easy to follow, is a versatile pattern, lots to keep one’s interest (almost every row is different until you get to the body). I like knitting it up in cotton and have a few done in Purl SoHo’s Picnic Cotton. I order it up from the states. I found that if my order was $50 or less that I wouldn’t get charged duty on the package. I like your suggestion of the Drops Halo tee. I’m going to look that up. Cheers!
I have also made “Facecloths” with the I Love This Cotton. The yarn is almost too nice for a dish cloth, but still works. I have a dozen or more of the facecloths and keep them displayed in a crocheted basket.
Hey Lorraine, nice to meet you. I like the idea of a light grey. That would make for a subtle edge. Thanks for your suggestion. We have family and friends in Australia. They all live near Melbourne. We visited the area a couple years ago. It’s a long way to travel but worth the trip. Have you ever visited Canada?
Thank you. 😊I don’t find enough clothing projects in just cotton, so I really appreciate your video!

Lovely knitting, Sue. I think it'd be nice with or without a trim, but I do like the idea of white. 👍 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

The only thing I made with this yarn is a dishcloth and it is way too soft for a dishcloth. Your right it is soft and would make a good garment.

Hi Sue. I live in New Zealand and have found your podcast. If you are still trying to decide about using another colour what about a light grey. ❤
