I enjoy your podcasts so much.💕 Every project you knit is gorgeous. 💕Your color choices are so good....and you love cats which is the fluff that guarantees I'm going to watch ALL your podcasts, past, present and future!!!
Thank you for the lovely mention Nikki, so sweet of you. So happy you got the job!!! Well done. Your spinning is beautiful- hard to believe you just started, lovely and consistent. Enjoyed catching up with you. Cher 🧶
Dear Nikki! You are knitting a piece of art! You are right, the colors look like a Fall’s rainbow! Can’t wait to see it finished!❤Greetings from Argentina!
Love, love, love the colors you chose for your Nightshift. It is going to be so cozy! Your Rock It Tee is so cute! And yes, I totally get the Neapolitan ice cream vibes. I would totally be craving ice cream while working on it too 😁 I’m so excited that you’ve taken up spinning! I’m glad that you’re saving your first skein. It is something that I wish I had done when I started out on my spinning journey too. My favourite breed of wool for socks is Gotland It is definitely more on the rustic side but the fibre has such lovely shine and is super durable for high-wear items. I highly recommended it!
Thank you for a wonderful evening company❤. Your daffodil and samphrey are so pretty😍, I think the daffodil would go very well as a tee actually. I see exactly what you mean about the reverse stockinette part though. Your partners sweater will turn out so wonderful, it really is a labor of love❤. All your projects are so beautiful and yes it really screams ice cream about the wonderful yarn😍😋. You've really picked up on spinning, you've already become super good at it, so fun to come along on your journey🤩. A wonderful episode as always💞
Thanks so much 🥰 The blanket was made using a free crochet hexie tutorial by Lucy of Attic24 on Ravelry. Here is the link to my project page if you'd like more info: www.ravelry.com/projects/CatHairKnitting/hexagon-how-to
Can I pick your brain? You mentioned knitting with Lettlopi and I recently made a Felix pullover using this yarn. I found the ribbing sticks out slightly, kind of balloons, have you ever had that happen with your knits? I am wondering about unpicking and knitting the ribbing again on smaller needles. I tend to knit loosely, although I have never had this issue before, so don't think this the issue...
Hi Anne. I can't say I've had that issue but I wonder, did you go down a needle size when knitting the ribbing? If not, I would suggest doing that. If it's just the very bottom of the ribbing that is ballooning perhaps you cast off too loosely? Hope these help! 🤗💕
I’m with you on the tubular cast on/bind off Nikki, who can be bothered?!! 😂 So many beautiful projects. Your spinning is looking really professional already 👏 I hope you love the Jacob’s fibre. I have an Arboreal knitted with Jacob’s and it has zero pilling, I love it - very definitely woolly but minimal tooth ❤
😂 So glad I'm not alone on the Tubular front Ailie 🤣 Thank-you so much for the kind words 🥰 I've heard nothing but good things about Jacob's and can't wait to spin it up and knit with it 🤗💕
As always, I am thoroughly enjoying having my morning coffee and toast with knitting with you. Oh my gosh Nikki. I made the Rock It Tee last Summer. I haven’t woven in the ends yet and haven’t even take a photo of it since I finished it. I too am making the NIghtshift. It’s a totally addictive pattern.
Congratulations on the new job. It will be nice to meet our knitting friends but first I’m going to enjoy the weather here Only going to come home when the snow has all melted, so I guess I’ll see you in May 😂
Thanks Louise! Hope you're having a blast with your American knitting friends (Barb and I are slightly jealous 😁). Looking forward to your return and gosh I hope the snow here disappears sooner than May (although it's snowing as I type this). Enjoy your time in the sun for us 🤣🥶
Yaaay, congratulations on getting the job! 🎉👏 Your celebratory cast-on is beautiful!!! I'm also slowly getting into spring/summer knits and I've already seen some interesting patterns popping up on Revelry, which is exciting. You have truly become a spinner now, especially after saying that you struggle to spin thicker - it's a THING 😁 So you should cherish those thicker yarns that you spun at the beginning, because from now on it will require more focus to actually get to a worsted/aran yarn 😄
Congratulations on your job!! I love your Rock It Tee so much! All the projects are beautiful. Also thank you again so much for the shout out for my podcast! Appreciate it so much!! xoxo
🎉 love your celebratory project, it’s been on my knitting list last summer - I might have to add it back on this year. Love your colors! Congratulations on the reason for the cast-on!
omygosh i can't get over your beautiful spinning Nikki!! I still haven't tried it yet since... well family sports life has just been crazy busy lately! 😂but I'm looking forward to try the drop spindle soon! your rocket tee is looking fabulous! i have that one in my list of must knits too... so many pretty patterns.. so little time lol. Thank you for another lovely episode! 🥰🥰
Thanks so much Sophie 🥰 Can't wait for you to try spinning!! The Rock-It Tee is knitting up amazingly quick which is great because I have a bazillion other tops I'd like to make 😂 Happy Making 🤗💕
Congratulations on the job! And your spinning is really going well! Your Canadian fibre breed study sounds marvellous, I look forward to seeing what you think of the spins & what you will make 🐑✨🐑 I’m knitting a Rock It Tee, too 😃 lucky for me it doesn’t make me want ice cream 😅 I sure did want some ice cream after you mentioned it!! Xx 🤗
Congratulations on the new job 😊. ...and on becoming such a good spinner in such a short time! I'm still nervous to try, even though I got a drop spindle for Christmas 2021 😒😄
Your spinning technique is improving by leaps and bounds ... amazing. I love your Rocket Tee, perfect for a well-deserved celebratory cast-on, and I have plans for one myself. Lovely episode, thank you!
Your knits are beautiful … your cars are beautiful and they don’t interrupt 😊 Your sock I’m glad you’re using Fabel yarn for socks I’ve been wanting to try it !!!! Just starting sock knitting Could you tell me how many balls for a pair please ?? You have a peaceful way about you and love your podcast Have a good week 💝
Thanks so much Debbie! I find 100 grams of a fingering weight sock yarn is more than enough for a pair of socks. The Drops Fabel balls are only 50 grams so I recommend getting 2 so you don't have to play yarn chicken. Happy Making 🤗💕
Congratulations on your new job! I love your Daffodil and Rock It; they're so pretty! I have a few spindles but they got mislaid when we were rearranging the house and I've been looking for them ever since (don't let anyone else move your craft stuff for you: they never remember where it is and it takes forever to find it again lol). I saw a box that looked promising yesterday but I can't reach it so I'll have to wait for someone taller and more able to reach it for me. I look forward to seeing what you decide with the Daffodil, since I'll be knitting a similar size when I get to it (hopefully in time to join your KAL). Catch you next time!
Congrats on the job confirmation, Nikki :) Your Daffodil is looking gorgeous! I am watching while on holiday in the Netherlands, casting on a new cardi (Traveler's Cardigan, Ozetta in unspun from Raincloud and Sage). About the Holst Supersoft: I have just finished a Gibb II from Andrea Mowry for my partner and held supersoft with Malabrigo thinking it would add more structure and maybe even shrink a bit, but the Malabrigo won, and it is still a super-stretchy fabric. Oh well haha
Thanks so much Kathryn 🥰 Your cardigan sounds dreamy 😍 Thanks for sharing your Holst Supersoft experience and sorry to hear your garment still stretched. Sometimes knitting feels like a series of science experiments, doesn't it 😂 Enjoy your lovely Netherlands vacation! 🤗💕
Good thing you love the process of knitting...all that ripping back is killing me haha...your daffodil is beautiful and I agree about the blank side panels..would be nice with more pattern across. Your spinning is beautiful...so proud of you for branching out into other fibre areas. You are Avery creative soul
Wow your knits are stunning ❤ and congratulations on getting your job Would you mind giving information on the lovely blanket that it on the back of your sofa, I can’t take my eyes if it ❤
Thanks so much Carol! The blanket is based on a hexagon tutorial by Attic24 and you can find all links and details on my Ravelry project page here: www.ravelry.com/projects/CatHairKnitting/hexagon-how-to Happy Making 🤗💕
Thank you for another lovely podcast, with lots of knitting and spinning inspiration. That Dafodil is looking so sweet. The colour goes very well with the pattern. I follow your work on the Samphfrey with lots of interest as I plan to cast on mine in the autumn. Did I almost hear you saying that you might as well have knitted the body flat? I am still debating weather to knit in the round or flat. I did enjoy the Chestnut even though it was knitted flat. Congratulations on your job 💪 The celebration cast on looks very happy and festive. I cannot believe how fast you are taking to spinning thin and consistent singles. I am looking forward to following your breed study. I badly want to try Jacob, I think I will love it, next summer I will go for a raw fleece. I have a lot of wool (Leicester, Texel, Corriedale and Spelsau) to get on with in the meantime.
Thanks so much Inger 🥰 Hahaha you caught me on the Samphrey 🙈 I'm just feeling over my head with the modification to knit partially in the round. I think a better option would have been to put steek stitches in the entire way up both sides that way it can be knit in the round but there's no struggle to figure our where the sleeve holes are placed. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with yours 🤗💕
Hi Nikki. I've found that knitting with mohair and fine particles give me sinus. Especially when there's a fan or AC blowing around. Mohair is gorgeous but it is problematic.
I enjoy your podcasts so much.💕 Every project you knit is gorgeous. 💕Your color choices are so good....and you love cats which is the fluff that guarantees I'm going to watch ALL your podcasts, past, present and future!!!
Thank-you so much for your kind words 🤗💕

Thanks so much Bern! Happy Making 🤗💕
Your rock it tee is a perfect combination of yarns!! Love it!! And the sweater for your partner, every time I see it I think I need to make that!!
Thanks Selma 🥰 It's always fun when you find the perfect yarn combo in your stash for a project 🤗 Can't wait to see Alejandro's Cotswold Henley 😁
Love, love, love the colors you chose for your Nightshift. It is going to be so cozy!

Thanks so much Cary 🥰 Corriedale really is wonderful! 🤗💕
Your projects are so lovely Nikki! I'm admiring your spinning improvement. That is the one thing I've given up on for the foreseeable future 😀.
