I also hate working with cotton yarn. For me, it's the lack of give. I have a hexy cardigan that is 80% done but its last juts are cotton and blurgh i dont want to do it!! Ready to frog it tbh!!
Hi. So pleased to have found your podcast after watching Martin from Knit365. I live in Cornwall too where I have a little cafe and craft shop by the sea on The Roseland. Hope you enjoyed the Norfolk Yarn Festival - would love to go one day!!
Oh thank you for popping by! I hope you like the podcast 😊Where abouts on the Roseland is your shop? The festival was amazing! One of my favourites! I will be adding a vlog about it in the next couple of days 😊
@TheCornishStitcher Pebbles Cafe & Crafts, Portholland. I'm closed through the winter but re-open at Easter - looking forward to that! Good dog walking beach!
As a knitter for almost 50 years, I must correct you: The term ‘need’ does not apply to yarn acquisitions, yarn desires, yarn window shopping and yarn dreaming! All those endeavours are essential for knitters 😂 I am 64 next month, and was medically retired from teaching due to a brain tumour about 5 years ago - Foundation Stage and KS1 (ie Reception and Infants in old money!) I love the colours for your colourwork sweater. Just be careful about the difference between a synthetic yarn and a wool jumper in terms of blocking and blooming when washed. I am mainly a sock knitter, but also love shawls. I do NOT like lace (though yarn overs are fine in rows of eyelets) but love texture. I am moving away from fairly bright merino and nylon, to 100% pure wool from a sheep sanctuary, which are dyed in plain colours. I am hoping to move onto fair isle knitted socks. The book from your dad is gorgeous 😍 I have never been to a yarn festival, and now I have severe mobility difficulties, I doubt I ever will. I LOVE winter and autumn, but don’t care for warm weather at all! Jinny
Hi Jinny, welcome 🥰 Thank you for your lovely comments. My jumper sadly, is back into balls of wool at the moment as just wasn’t working well! Most of my teaching career in the classroom was also as a Reception and KS1 teacher and that’s the part I miss! I lived their zest for learning. Socks are becoming a real thing of mine too ❤️ Take care and hope you enjoy watching 😊 Ness xx
Another lovely podcast.
