Great episode Liz! Really enjoyed watching your sage dyeing and also the indigo footage. I'm with you, if I have to rip something back I'm probably going to abandon the project, no matter how small 😁 Love how your Brick and Honeydew colors look next to each other in the skeins 🙂
The sad thing is I’ve had to frog back twice on the Joanie and once on the Corran since I recorded. 🤦🏻♀️ I’m feeling a little cursed honestly…I’m just making so many stupid mistakes lately. Oh well!
This was just wonderful and very interesting. Loved every minute of it. Subscribed right away. The honeydew is gorgeous. Best wishes from a Canadian knitting podcaster!
Oh thank you! I’ll have to check out your podcast too! ❤️🧶
Hi Elizabeth. You make some beautiful dyes especially that cranberry one is gorgeous
Thank you so much!
I just discovered you. What a wonderful podcast. You live in such a beautiful place. I was in Taos probably 15 years ago and it was fantastic. I am in SE Idaho. I am doing the Corran cardigan too. I am in the sleeves but have lost motivation. I have several doodle cowl patterns but haven’t managed to do one yet. I started the autumn doodle cowl knit in neutrals last year. You are inspiring me to pull it out again. I love the brick color way for your Corran. Your yarns are lovely. I have done a lot of dyeing but natural dyeing was always a challenge for me. The Indigo gathering looked like so much fun. I really enjoyed this podcast. Off to watch a few more.
Thank you so much! I’m doing short sleeves on my Corran, so I’m hoping it will speed right along. But per usual I’m going to hit sleeves in two sweaters at once and that never bodes well…
If you are autumn colouring, then that green is definitely one of your colours. I'm a dark tawny autumn and it is on my card, and is one of the colours that I get the most complements over. The reddish colour doesn't do quite as much for my skin tone. I do still wear it though. Because it goes with some of the Browns that I wear. Besides, the green is the same colour as the wall behind you and you look lovely sitting in front of it. You don't look ill like the wrong colour tone would do to you. Maybe the colours look different on the screen than they do in real life though.
Thanks for that! Watching it back the color did look fine with my skin tone. I just chickened out!! Maybe I’ll make a second in the green. 😉
Hi, wonderful to see you back this quickly. hurrah. AS always, super interesting to hear what you got up to. I am planting some indigo seed this weekend although I what I have is Australian indigo which is not as good as Japanese indigo I believe. I also have woad seed so I will play with that. I hope the seed does well. And then I get to play!!! I love your cowl, I am generally not a fan cos they flop but your looks lovely and snug so maybe I will give that a go. Enjoy the Taos wool festival. Catherine
Thanks Catherine! I was just watching you this morning. 😉 excited to see what you get going in your dye garden this year!
I love a good twice wrapped infinity cowl. It’s cozy, it’s easy to work, and it doesn’t flop. I don’t like single layer cowls because of that. The only neckwear I use know are my infinity cowls or I have a big cabled cowl that folds down on itself, so it still stands up on its own.
The cowl looks a tad small? The sage bush is not the same as the herb sage? Is it Salvia? I grew sage herb for tea but dislike the taste. Was going to pull it out. Will the herb sage produce yellow and will it be sunlight/colourfast? Or is it a fugitive dye?
I agree with you on the cowl. I may go back to the drawing board with that and try a different needle size maybe? I just love the idea of having a small colorwork project on the go all the time.
The sagebrush I have isn’t the culinary kind - the Latin is Artemesia tridentata. It’s all over the mountain west. I’ve been very happy with the colorfastness I’ve gotten from it. I have some skeins I dyed a few years back now and they are still looking bright and cheery.
