Hi Sophie! My granddaughter (13yrs) asked for legwarmers too! Took me 2 months! Ugh, long ribbed tubes! I used Berroco Vintage, same color, cream! She luvs them, but man, they were a knit slog!! Love your Ranunculus and your Lovenote. Quite inspiring! Happy weekend!
I made the leg warmers! they were not that long so they were actually quick to knit up. lol and my daughter loves them too! So I'm happy it's over with and also that she enjoys them. Thank you so so much for watching!
Good Morning from Calgary. Lovely vlog. I too just want to knit all “the things!” I’ve three sweaters on my needles, a Sophie scarf and I also need to get some socks cast on. LOL! 😊
Calgary! that's so cool! I'm so happy I'm not alone in wanting to knit all the things! lol We almost have the same WIP pile lol Thank you so so much for watching and stay cozy over there! 🥰🧶
Hi! Just found your podcast. Love it. I’m in Colorado. I feel you! I am overwhelmed wanting to “knit all the things!” I also am a ripper. Currently working on an all over lace cardi that I’ve ripped back numerous times. I too found it helpful to write out the instructions for the pattern. Takes time but the results are worth it! Love your work and you’ve inspired me. Thank you!
Wow, Colorado! It must be so beautiful over there! Oh lace work is so pretty, i'm sure your cardigan is gorgeous! Thank you so so much for watching and happy knitting! 🥰🧶
Your Ranunculus is gorgeous Sophie! Thanks for the link to the bread recipe. I'll try it this weekend. :)
Thank you so much! I hope the bread worked out ok for you!! 🥰🧶
Hi Sophie! I met you at la P’tite Laine…I am the full time RVer and we talked about that. I was also wearing my Ranunculus and you were saying you were scared to make it!!!! I am so glad you finally made one!!! See I told you it’s addictive…I now have 3!😂 Yours is beautiful!!! Congrats! Love the podcast as always and happy to see you again.
Yes Hello!! I remember chatting with you! 💖 I'm sooo in love with my Ranunculus (I can't stop wearing it 😆) and already planning a second one. It's a magical pattern! lol Thank you so so much for watching. I truly appreciate the kind words and support. Hope we get to meet again! 🥰🧶
@@cozymeadowknits 🥰
Hi Sophie! Loved your podcast. Your ranunculus is gorgeous and fits you perfectly. I really HAVE to knit one soon. I downloaded the Winter Rose Shawl to use up some stash yarn.
I bought yarn for your Love Note KAL…but, like you, I have so many other projects to finish. I did swatch for it so it’s a beginning.
Hi Darlene! Yes I highly recommend the Ranunculus! It definitely surpassed my expectations! lol No rush on the Love Note. Knit what makes you happy and don't rush it. 💖 I had to remind myself of this and I'm happy I did lol Thank you so so much for watching and hope to see you at the knit night next week!! 🥰🧶
I'm knitting with drops sky at the moment too omg it is so soft I love the yarn I have it doesn't pill because I love it
Hope
It's so soft right?! I keep trying my sweater on to check the length, and every time i do I'm like omygosh i can't wait to wear this! lol Lets keep our fingers crossed on the the pilling factor!🤞 thank you so much for watching and happy knitting!🥰🧶
All your sweaters are so inspiring Sophie and I completely agree that it would be wonderful to be able to knit all the things! Thank you for sharing your bread recipe, I am keen to try it! I recently baked my first loaf of sourdough after making my first successful starter. I will see if I can find a link to the website I used and will share with you. I still have lots to learn, but really enjoyed the process despite being scared of starter myself (I had tried in 2020 when everyone was doing it, and it didn’t work out at all! ). Also, thank you for your chocolate chip cookie recipe from a prior episode. I made them with my niece and they were absolutely delicious!
Aw you are too kind Aleksandra🥰.I'm so happy you liked the cookies! yay! and I saw you started making sourdough bread. I need to really try this myself! I hope you are nice and warm this weekend, here in atlantic Canada, we are going to have a wind chill of -45 Celsius overnight! time to pile on the knits! lol Looking forward to your next episode. 💖Thanks for watching, and happy knitting! 🧶
Hiya Sophie.. I'm Téa, from Australia, and I stumbled upon your podcast today. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it, and am looking forward to many more. You come across so calm, and your voice is very soothing. I am now watching all your episodes starting from #1 Cheerio x Téa
Hi Téa! Im so so happy you enjoyed! Truly appropriate your kind words 🥰. I have to warn you my first episodes might be a bit rough lol. Thank you so much for watching and happy knitting! Warm wishes from Canada! 🥰🧶
I love the colors of your love note and that ranunculus fits perfectly. Both patterns are also favorites of mine and I have knit several versions of each. Last week I finished my first Lento. I write first because, like the ranunculus and love note, I will be knitting more of them. Well fitting pattern and very easy knit.
Thank you for another enjoyable podcast.
Thank you so much for watching!! I have the Lento on my favorites already! So many people are knitting it right now. so I'm definitely going to make one in the near future! happy knitting!🥰🧶
Love your new episode! And yes I Love my new socks 🧦! So comfortable and love the colour and details! I’m so lucky to have a sister who knits 🧶 ❤ xox
Yay!! so happy you like them!! might be working on a little something for your upcoming birthday! xox🥰
I'm totally the same with my sleeves! I knit 3/4 sleeves and only knit full length for outerwear sweaters that are used as coats. Oh and I absolutely refuse to do a provisional cast on 🤣
So glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't want to do provisional cast ons! 😆 Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🧶
You have such a warm, welcoming spirit, Sophie, I feel right at home. Thanks for sharing your passion to "knit all things" because thats what I want to do too! Your Love Notes is gorgeous!
Oh you are too kind! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🧶
Sophie!!! Your Ranunculus, Your Love Note!!! Unbelievable! You are a knitting machine girl! Loved everything so much! Ranunculus is one of my next up on the needles. So much fun hanging with you today! 🥰
Aw you are too sweet Marie! Thanks for tuning in! Can't wait to see your Ranunculus!! 🥰🧶
Sophie, your sweaters look great! I am working on a baby blanket but have the yarn for a Ranunculus, which will be my next cast on. I love making blankets, the Jelly Roll is on my must make list but I have several other scrappy blankets on the go at the moment.
I totally want to cast on a scrappy blanket! I just need to clear my needles a bit! 😂 thank you so so much for watching and happy knitting my friend!!! ❤🧶
It's freezing rain here in Cavendish, PEI so I've curled up with my cat and I'm knitting away while watching your past episodes. Loving your podcast!! Thank you Sophie for introducing me to La Violette Yarn shop, Alley Cat Yarns, and Yarn Indulgences. The yarn colours you choose for your projects are wonderful.
Thank you so much for watching! So happy you enjoyed. 🥰 There are many great shops around and Canadian yarn dyers. Its always fun to discover new yarns. I hope the freezing rain didnt cause to much trouble. We lost power but only for a few hours. I was hoping for a full snow day but sadly had to go into work 😂. Thanks again for tuning and happy knitting! 🥰🧶
So nice to see you today! Your sweaters look fantastic and thank you for the bread recipe! I love fresh bread but only make it during Christmas time. I’m so impressed that you make fresh bread so often without a machine!! ❤❤
Thanks Dehnel!! I just love Sundays at home. It doesn't always happen (with all the sports.. i know you get it lol) but when I know I'm staying home the whole day Definitely make a batch of bread! Let me know if you try it! 🥰
Always a joy catching up with you Sophie 🥰 Your Ranunculus and Love Note are just gorgeous 😍 Can't wait to see your colourwork sweater come to life in those 3 beautiful colours you've chosen! I also recently purchased the Jelly Roll blanket pattern but haven't yet started it as I have serious control issues when it comes to colour management (even with scrappy projects) 😂
What an amazing coworker you have in your life, and sounds like he's just as lucky to have you in his 🤗
Happy Making 💕
Thank you so much for tuning in Nicky! You totally encouraged me to knit my ranunculus by making your gorgeous gold one! Already hunting for some summer yarn for another one! Cant wait to see what is on your needles. Happy weekend and happy knitting!! 🥰🧶
I really love your Love Note colors Sophie! It was fun to knit along with you during the KAL! Another great podcast!💕
Thank you so much for participating in the KAL Judy! Love your Love Note!! 🥰🧶
Oh your Ranunculus is splendid Sophie! I really have to knit one! I was watching you while knitting on my Orbits which had been set aside for a couple of months because of gift knitting and some designing. So happy to be back working on it and I hope yours will block nicely and will fit as you hope! 🤞🏻 Your Love Note looks great too and I love your idea of wearing ours for Valentine’s Day, I will definitely do that!! I am so glad you joined in my Winter Rose Shawl KAL and I love love love the colours you picked 🤩 just gorgeous. I also want to knit many of Ana Joanna’s patterns, and I really need to find a way to make days longer so I can knit everything! Please share your fricot recipe next time, I would love to try it! And I bake sourdough a couple of times a week, and we love it. A friend gave me a bit of starter so I didn’t have to make my own, and I am still using it 2 1/2 years later. It takes a few times to practice getting comfortable with sourdough but once you know it, it’s like second nature and it’s lovely 🤗
Hi Marie Elyse! I was very worried about the ranunculus but I'm now a believer! lol I'm definitely will have another in the future! I highly recommend. Can't wait to see your Orbits! I'm being good and haven't cast on another sweater yet... really trying to focus on the ones I have yet to finish! buuttt have already bought yarn for my next next color work LOL. There really needs to be more time in the day!! haha Thank you so so much for watching my friend and Happy knitting!! 🥰🧶
Just found your podcast. I'm from Newfoundland and I love Canadian podcasts. Your sweaters are beautiful!! I knit Nancy's socks in 11 days it's a beautiful pattern.
Oh hello in Newfoundland! That is somewhere I would love to visit someday 💖. I just love all of Nancy's patterns! I've picked out yarn to start my next pair, just need to clear off my needles a bit LOL! Thank you so so much for watching and stay cozy over there! Happy knitting! 🥰🧶
The ranunculus looks great Sophie! As always, great episode!
Aw thank you so much for tuning in again! Happy knitting! 🥰🧶
Happy new year! Your yarn combinations are beautiful.
Thank you so much for watching!! ❤🧶
I loved hanging out with you this afternoon 💕 Your sweaters are all gorgeous! I'm in the same boat with my Orbits not fitting 🫣 and I'm hoping I'll pick it up next month and get it done. Ranunculus is the most flexible pattern and I will also be knitting more. See you soon 🥰
Thank you so much to tuning in Nancy! can't wait to hang out and Knit/Chat next week!!! 🥰🧶
Bonjour! Your Ranunculus turned out beautiful and so is your Love note. I bought the Orbit pattern, but haven't found the mojo for it yet. Yours is beautiful! You didn't gain weight, it's the colourwork that is tight.... stick with that! All the best Rosie
Haha i love that! Color work is definitely tight 😂. Thank you so so much for tuning in again my friend! ❤ keep me posted when you cast on orbits! happy knitting! 🧶🥰
I would love your chicken stew recipe if you wouldn’t mind sharing! Love all your knits. I’m finding lately that as soon as I get a new project on my needles that I am already thinking about what I want to knit next! I need to stay away from instagram as there is so much temptation there!
Margaret in Vancouver.
hi Margaret! Omy goodness I feel exactly the same way! As I'm working on a project I'm thinking of what I can make next. 😂 I like to have a few different projects that I can pick up and knit at different times but I've realized that it's getting a bit out of hand. I want to also enjoy what I'm working on. so your suggestion is a very good one and I thank you for it! If you want, I can send you my Chicken stew recipe by email. Send me an email to cozymeadowknits@gmail.com and I'll send it to you! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰 Cheers from New Brunswick!
Sophie, it’s so good to see you! Love all the projects you are doing! I have a tendency to cast on and rip back a few times too. I was going to start that jelly roll blanket as well! ❤
Oh you'll have to keep me posted on the Jellyroll blanket! I haven't started mine yet but I keep looking at my basket of minis and fighting the urge to cast on. I have a few more lingering projects that I want to clear up. Thank you so so much for watching! and Happy knitting! 🧶🥰
Beautiful sweaters!! Looking forward to reaching that point in my knitting journey. Gorgeous advent yarns!!!
I never thought I could make sweaters before and now i can't stop lol. And I know you can too! If ever you decide on trying it out, the "Flax" sweater by tincanknits is a great beginner friendly pattern and it's free. (You'll have to keep me posted if you do😊) Thank you so much for watching and happy knitting!🥰🧶
@@cozymeadowknits Thanks I’ll make sure I get that one saved for when I get up my nerve. 😄
Another lovely episode! Your ranunculus looks beautiful on you! I want to make another one in unspun yarn. I just need to finish up all my WIPs and stop casting on other things! 😊
I totally recommend unspun! I want to make other things with it… maybe a vest🤔. But that will have to wait for me to clear up all my needles too 😅. I completely understand the urge to cast on is hard to resist 😂. Thank you so much for watching! ❤
Happy new year Sophie :) I was so happy to see you had posted a new episode, you are one of my favourite knitting podcasters, you are so calming and relaxing and a pleasure to watch :) I am also knitting an advent project, I am making a habitation throw. My advent was 24 x 20g minis (fingering weight) so it's going to take a few months, I think! I also got a second advent and with that I'm planning to make a Litmus cowl with matching hat (and maybe gloves if there is enough yarn left over). Lots of love from the UK xx
Hello from a very chilly day in Eastern Canada! Oh I looove the Habitation Throw! It's in my Ravelry favorites. It's a perfect project for advent minis. I have my mini's just waiting for me to work with ... But I still have a few lingering projects that I'd like to finish before I start my Jellyroll blanket. Oh and I searched up the Litmus Cowl and added to my favorites. It's gorgeous. Thank you so so much for Watching and letting me know what you are working on! You will have to keep me posted on your project! Happy knitting! 🥰🧶
I just found your podcast and i enjoyed it so much! Thank you and greatings from Italy!
Oh my Italy, that is so amazing! I'm so happy you enjoyed! 🥰Thank you so so much for watching!
@@cozymeadowknits 🥰
Soo many beautiful projects 😍! I want to adopt your work son Jessie! That book is dynamite 😂 Can’t wait to see your finished Lovenote next episode.
haha I know right? He's a sweetheart! Thank you so much for watching Leanne! And happy knitting my friend 🥰🧶
Love your finished Ranunculus! It looks great on you. And I totally want to knit all the things too. I’m currently working on a basic raglan , The Warm-up Sweater. It’s a free pattern from Espace Tricot and I’m using a strand of DK and a strand of mohair/silk. Loving it! The bread recipe sounds yummy. And I’d be interested in hearing about your chicken stew recipe too.
So glad i'm not alone in wanting to knit all the things! I had to look up the warm up sweater on Ravelry and suprise! it was already in my favorites! 😂 I need to make one at some point too cause it looks soooo cozy. If you would like my chicken stew recipe you can send me an email at cozymeadowknits@gmail.com and I can send it to you. Thank you so much for watching and Happy knitting! 🥰🧶
Hello from BC - I just came across your podcast and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. I knit the LoveNote last year and just love it. I’m almost ready to cast on the Ranunculus so I was happy to hear how much you love yours. Happy Knitting :)
Oh thank you for the kind words. So happy you enjoyed! 🥰 i absolutely love my ranunculus (wearing it right now now lol). So i highly recommend and please keep me posted on yours! I really want to make another in the future. Thank you so so much for watching and happy knitting! ❤🧶
Hi Sophie thanks for another great episode. I’m just casting on Silverlining by Jenn Steingass. I haven’t done color work in ages so I’m excited. I’m using Selkirk Worsted from Fleece and Harmony in amethyst brooch as the main color and forget-me - nots as the contrast. I can’t wait to see what it looks like! NB girl in Auburn Alabama!
Wow Alabama?! that's so cool! Oh your Silverlining is going to be lovely!! I checked out those colors and that's going to be gorgeous, so you'll have to keep me posted on it! I love my silverlining sweater. and I was actually looking for my next colorwork sweater too! but I need to finish the ones that I have already on the needles first! lol Thank you so so much for watching and happy knitting! Cheers from NB 🥰🧶
Great projects and beautiful yarn. I love your yarnny/knitty enthusiasm! A suggestion for your colourwork sweater that may be too tight would be to steek it into a cardigan and add button bands to increase the width a bit. it may not help with the sleeves but would make for a beautiful cardigan! good luck!
That is a great suggestion that i never thought of! I'm definitely keep that in mind 😊 Thank you so much for watching and Happy knitting!🥰🧶
My Love Note had about 3 starts too! I was also afraid of starting it thinking lace pattern would be a challenge but once I got started I couldn’t put it down! On sleeves today and a bit more hem and it will be done soon 🙂
Oh I'm so glad you stuck with it too Olivia! Can't wait to see yours finished! I'm blocking mine today! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You are to smart a knitter for me. I have been a crocheter for 47 yrs and I just started teaching myself to knit from utube as much as I have learned. I still haven't knit anything without having some type of mistake which drives me crazy so I ripped it all out. It frustrates me so much I usually cuss! I want to knit a sweater. I have a couple that have tutorials for me to watch
Gosh that love note is just magical. Honey I rip back so much my yarn disintegrates! Do you work,or can you knit during day? I would love love love to have your yarn budget! You have gorgeous yarns.their is a beautiful blanket pattern from The Cozy Cottage Crochet and the pattern is $1 and uses fingering wt minis, it is so beautiful, go look at it. The channel designer is Hannah. What type of work do you do? I bet your 4 days of knitting was just heaven. I stay in my pj's everyday but I'm confined to a hospital bed. Enjoyed your video you are such a wondrous knitter!
Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words! So sorry for the late reply. I would love to be able to crochet! I did try last summer but quickly gave up 😂. But i really need to give it another go! I make tons of mistakes in my knitting some i can live with and some i just can’t (when they are too visible) so Im used to rip back. And i cuss like a sailor when i do ! 😂i work full time with a tech company and try to knit every spare minute I have! Thank you so so much for watching and wish you a fabulous crafty weekend! 🥰🧶
Un autre super podcast !!!! OK officially love your coworker Jessie. Faudras que tu l'amene sur le podcast.😀
That's a good Idea! lol Merci pour "watcher" Gabrielle! Passe une super belle semaine and happy knitting!! 🥰
I’m currently working on the Let’s Stay Home socks by Nancy. It’s a fantastic pattern.
Oh yay! I really want to cast these on soon! I i'm on my daughter's second leg warmer. once finished I'm casting on! thank you so much for watching and happy knitting! 🥰🧶
The Ranunculus is a mystery. I’ve knit one in very light weight yarn and one in a heavier cotton and they both fit the same! I just got my yarn for the Love Note. I have bad memories of mohair from my teenage years so I haven’t used the popular fingering held with mohair combination. I finally found Suri alpaca/silk and it feels lovely so fingers crossed. Love your podcasts.
Thank you so much for watching! and I agree with You on the Ranunculus. I'm definitely will be knitting another at some point and am very curious as to how it will go lol. You will have to keep me posted on your love note! I've never tried Suri Alpaca but really want to! Have a great rest of the week and Happy knitting!! 🥰🧶
You have definitely inspired me to try knitting the Ranunculus again. I think I used the wrong yarn and my head wasn’t in it x
Aw thank you so much for tuning in Ruth!💖 I was really really surprised it worked out as well as it did to be honest! 😆 So i'm going to chance it again in the near future for maybe a summer one. Looking forward to see yours! Happy knitting friend! 🥰🧶
Sophie, love watching your podcast! You are so inspiring. Your Ranunculous is beautiful and so is your Love Note. Now that you've done them both, which pattern do like better? Can't wait to see your shawl done, those colours are perfect for you!
Aw thank you so much for tuning in again Dianne!! The 2sweaters are really different and its hard to chose a favourite since i adore both. But i think maybe i like the ranunculus a smidge more? 😂 i know I want to make another in the future and i never usually want to knit a pattern twice… let me know whats on your needles and wish you a great weekend my friend! 🧶🥰
Dear Sophie, loved this episode! Your ranunculus is gorgeous and that Love note!!!! Beautiful projects! It’s a shame the colorwork one seems tight 🫣 hope blocking solves the issue!
Thank you so much for tuning in Megha! 💖I'm crossing my fingers on my colorwork lol 🤞🤞 Happy knitting my friend!🥰🧶
Bread - freeze the loaf before the final rise. When the time comes that you want to make it, you let it thaw and rise in the fridge overnight - pop it in a cold oven and let it have a final rise while the oven warms up 🙂
Oh my! Im going to try that next time i make a batch! Thank you so much for those instructions and thank you for watching!! 🥰🧶
The BC Garn Bio Balance is a lovely yarn. I’ve made 3 sweaters out of it. It is classed as a fingering weight on Ravelry, and I’ve also seen it classed as sport weight on a few websites. I would say it’s heavy fingering. The sweaters I’ve made from it are all fingering weight patterns, a cardigan and two tshirt type patterns.
oh thank you so much for the info!! Happy to hear you liked working with it. I'm definitely going to swatch with it to make sure I can meet gage. My pattern is calling for sport weight so I'll be extra careful! Thank you so so much for watching! 🥰🧶
I think you will be ok since the pattern is sport weight, and it is listed as sport on some websites. It’s a really nice yarn. I will definitely use it again 😊
💝💓💝💓Hello from Romania
A big Hello from Canada! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
So nice to see your projects! I want to make a Ranunculus too and just found some B&L Roving in my mom's stash. I have never knit with it, do you think I can hold it double or do I need something like Mohair? Also, I got the same book for Christmas- I want to knit the Lehto first. I'm in NB, too (Fredericton)
Hi in Fredericton!! 😊You can definitely hold the roving double if you would like! But I highly recommend making a gage swatch with the size of needles you want to use. Then you can see the fabric that it will create. if you think it is too thick you can swatch with just 1 strand and see and if you like that better. Let me know if ever you have more questions! oh and keep me posted on the Lehto! That one is gorgeous too! Thank you so much for watching and happy knitting!🧶🥰
Merci Sophie, encore in bon podcast, merci pour le lien pour le patron de bas gratuit, j"adors faire des bas, je vais l'essayer pour sur.
Oh yay!! Je’ai pas encore eu le temps de caster on les bas mais je vais certainement dans le future! Tellement contente que tu a aimer cette episode! Merci infiniment pour ton support! ❤️🥰
I love your ranunculus. It fits beautifully. Can I ask you how much ease you added? I always tend to knit mine a bit more form fitting but I love the way yours looks on you.
Oh thank you so much! I just measured and my bust measures 40.5" and the sweater is 44". So that would make 3.5 inches of ease for me. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!🥰
I love your Orbitz sweater. I’m going to start another pattern by Unwind Knitwear. How is it under the arm when you split for sleeves? Do you have to cast on stitches in the underarm in both colors? Is that hard?
Thank you so much and so sorry for the late reply! In the Orbits pattern, there is a link to a UA-cam video of how to cast on with 2 colors. here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/eYYIdLKZFxw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=UnwindKnitwear
You'll have to keep me posted on your new cast on! I absolutely love all of Unwind Knitwear patterns! Happy knitting!🧶🥰
Love the color choices for the strands of joy sweater. Is the work mom going to make a sweater for the work son?
Oh my! No sweater, but I do know what im going to make and know he will love it! I’ll make sure to share once its finished and gifted 😉 thank you so so much for watching!! 🥰🧶
Sophie all your projects are beautiful. I was wondering what you used to knit your sleeves with?
Aw thank you so much! In the past I've use the magic loop method or DPN's to knit my sleeves, but I've recently purchased Chiaogoo shorties set and used those for my last 2 sweaters. It's a bit of an investment but omgosh it's a game changer for me. if you don't know of these, they are short interchangeable needles that come with short cords. (there are 3 different sizes of those kits) I find it's much quicker since you do not have to readjust needles all the time. Hope this was helpful, let me know if you have any other questions! Thank you so so much for watching and Happy knitting! 🥰🧶
Thanks for coming back to me - it is much appreciated🤗
I am new to your podcast also, and I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for what you do. I am knitting the Jojo Cardigan from the book Strands of Joy for my son. He has been waiting almost 2 years for it, but I waited until the book came out in paperback before ordering it. It is an investment. I'm also very curious about knitting with unspun yarn, and I've been considering the Briggs and Little Roving. However, from their website, it is a 5 strand roving, with a gauge of 11sts=4''. Did you split it, or use it as is?
So happy you enjoyed! I completely agree with knitting books. They are definitely an investment and i try to make sure there are lots of patterns in there that i will knit. But they are definitely pretty and so inspiring. 🥰 i loved working with the Briggs Little roving. It is caked up with 5 strands together. I rolled each strand in its own separate ball. I would walk down my hallway unwind a bit of the cake and then wind each ball a bit at a time. It’s definitely a process but for 13$ a cake, totally worth it! Oh and i held 1 strand of roving with a strand of mohair. I couldn’t be happier with the result! Thank you so so much for watching! And happy knitting! 🥰🧶
@@cozymeadowknits Omg this made me laught so much, but I agree with you.....totally worth it!!
Hallo from belgium, i’m k itting the Louvre sweater from petit knit .
A warm hello from Canada! Thank you so much for watching ! 🥰🧶
Thanks so much for this. Might I ask you the colourway of your ranunculous?
Absolutely! I used Briggs Little Country Roving in the Light Grey color. I held 1 strand of roving with a strand of Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair in color 9071. hope this helps. Thank you so much for watching and Happy knitting!🥰🧶
@@cozymeadowknits thank you!
You should insert pictures of you wearing the sweaters or a picture of someone else wearing it if it is still in the wip dept.
Love that idea! Will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you for watching! 🥰🧶
Forget the socks and knit your precious daughter's her leg warmers!! A Hoosier
I completely agree and have been knitting on the leg warmers since yesterday. They are are knitting super fast so I'm happy I'm full steam on them now 😂. Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰
Hi - Sky pills a lot. From what I understand it pills a lot at first then after a while it stops. Nice podcast!
Oh well that is nice to know beforehand! I have a gleaner so not concerned ❤. Thank you so so much for watching! 🥰🧶
Sophie you can make your own starter, I’ll pm you on Instagram xx
Thank you so much for tuning and and for the starter recipe Carla! I will let you know when I try it out! Cheers!🥰🧶
