Yes Ladies! Flock is wonderful! My daughter and I went this past weekend from SF. Spent Thursday flying in then driving up to Bainbridge and spent the afternoon doing a whole lot of wonderful damage at L&K. The shop and ladies are the Best. La Mercerie just up the street as well. Dont forget the Chihuly museum in Seattle and Pop Culture Museum. My husband and I spent 2 weeks driving aground Iceland 2 years ago before it got so popular. Driving a piece of cake on beautiful roads and stayed for 2 nights at about 3 or 4 places around the island and were glad we did that. Iceland is a very special adventure…..
Kim, I knit the single malt for my son Corbin and it worked up faster than I expected. Kate, those minis are stunning and I’m looking forward to seeing what you use them in. 🫶
Flock was wonderful! The space was huge, amazing, and everyone seemed so friendly and happy. I took a class with Aimee of La Bien Aimee on Friday which was outstanding. We took the ferry to Bainbridge Island on Thursday and visited La Mercerie and The Lamb and Kid… it was a good thing because getting near their booths on Saturday was challenging. Sunday was easier… I saw a picture of Kevin and Ray posted on instagram, but I didn’t run into them.
Hi Laura! I’m going to make the Esther pullover in Gilliatt. I sometimes want a break from double stranding, and I thought that yarn would show the texture well. Love all of your projects!
It was wonderful to see you all today and all your lovely knits!! I purchased so many minis during covid--not really sure why. But, I've found Ambah O'Brien and Lisa Ross both have many mini patterns. I've also used them in the Beachy Keen shawl, and in sweaters as well--the Sea Glass Tee, for instance. As for Flock, I went last year, and this year's venue looked so much better--although I didn't go this year. I've heard rumors that next year will be different again, but I'm not sure how. I would like to go next year--hope I see you all there!!
I have knitted the Georgie 5 times as the pattern is a great base for lots of options. One I did I just did the pattern till it was time to join in the round and did plain the rest of body. A couple I have done in colour blocks just love the fit
Fun podcast! Romi Hill is great, beautiful lace designs. I took a class at Vogue in San Francisco years ago. I think NE Knits is somewhere in Massachusetts, and yes, her podcasts are worth watching.
For your rainbow minis, there’s a Dingley Dell project that is gray/dark gray striped with rainbow stripes at the bottom. I love it! I’m debating the grays or doing the stripes in creams.
One more episode so full of inspiration. Thanks ! For the rainbow set did you look at patterns by Linnea Ornstein like the "Bukett", "Florett" , "Triplett " or maybe "Casparia", "Ramson", "Rabatt" since you would probably prefer a scarf rather than a shawl.
Kevin and Ray mention your podcast often and I’m so glad to have finally caught a few episodes. A pattern that really showcases minis that I’ve done is The Thinking Eye shawl by Jennifer Dassau and is available on Ravelry. I did it when I was in the Dragonfly Fibers yarn club and I learned some new techniques and came away with a lovely finished item. You may have to play with color placement but I think you have enough yardage.
Beachy Keen Shawl by Melanie Berg would be perfect with your mini skeins with a contrast color….I saw it made up on a trip to A Chick That Knits in Oklahoma.
I am also not a mini person. I had a set of Julie Asselin minis that sat in my stash for years. I finally used them by pairing with a white yarn and making the Waroo crocheted shawl by Deanne Ramsey. The knitted version is called the Kimba shawl by Ambah O’Brien. I was super pleased with the result.
Have you seen Rebecca's striped cardigan, Dafr Days. I have seen a few projects that used multiple colors for the stripes and a good neutral as the main color.
@@marypattrainor3845 I have been to Jimmy Beans when I have visited my brother in CA! If the knitting hobby “sticks” I will definitely tell my niece to visit the shop!
There is a yarn shop in Truckee called Atelier. It is in the back of a shop that sells paper products. I’m sure they could assist your niece and/or know of people that could.
Hi ladies, thanks for a lovely podcast. I have a question. I am going to cast on the space time sweater but I'm concerned about my chosen yarn. It's a very soft 17 micron Marino. My Question is do you think it will be too soft to hold the shape, particularly the neck shape.
Truly Mrytle patterns are great. There is a weekly Truly Myrtle podcast too on You Tube. The designer is Libby Jonson. She has lots of patterns on Ravelry.
Thank you for a very inspiring episode. Please could you repeat the name and the designer of the white blouse Kate is making. I could only catch “The nightinggale….”😊
@@tinagotschalk9286 I believe you are speaking about Laura’s WIP It is called Nightingale Crescent www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nightingale-crescent
Oh my goodness! I’m going to need one of those Sonder kits! So beautiful! ❤ Thanks for sharing your inspiration 🤗
So much fun hanging out with all of you! Loved all the projects and I am definitely getting a cozy vibe ❤️
Hey Kate, there is a shawl called Rainbow Bridge Shawl from Emily Clawson that would be really nice with those mini's! Great catching you guys!
Loved spending knitting time with you! You always inspire me with your beautiful knits…thank you!❤

The Surf and Turf Shawl would be great with your minis. It’s a great pattern, I’ve made one.
Would love to see two of you try brighter colors.
might add the background might not be good for the podcast - everyone seems washed out
Fun podcast! Romi Hill is great, beautiful lace designs. I took a class at Vogue in San Francisco years ago.
I think NE Knits is somewhere in Massachusetts, and yes, her podcasts are worth watching.
Another boatload of inspiration! I’m knitting along on the 220 Mitts Laura showed at Christmas time. They are great. Thanks, ladies!
@@darnyarner3782 happy knitting!
Just found you ladies and loved seeing all the projects!
For the minis, how about the Paul Klee sweater?
Hey there, Kate Davies Mini Minke would be great for the rainbow set😊
Love all the sweaters!! Kate, I think the Coorie In Poncho would look great with your minis striped with a neutral. Thanks for the great podcast!
@@yarnhoarder this could be interesting…thanks for the suggestion! -Kate
The Litmus cowl by Amy F. E. Green would make up nicely in miniskeins with a contrast color. Enjoyed your video as always.
For the minni’s you can look at Jericho’s rose by Pia Trans❤
I think the Stella Quilt Blanket or the anthropology would be beautiful.
For your rainbow minis, there’s a Dingley Dell project that is gray/dark gray striped with rainbow stripes at the bottom. I love it! I’m debating the grays or doing the stripes in creams.
@@tracischieber4253 that’s really cute. Thanks for the suggestion! -Kate

When I saw your rainbow minis Kate I instantly thought of a Tanis fiber arts sweater design.
@@TheSeamlessKnitter thanks for the suggestion! I will re-visit some of her designs. 🌈 -Kate
Great video. How about one of the Pressed Flowers patterns for the minis? There is a shawl and a sweater.
@@sharonweitendorf1712 interesting idea! Thank you. -Kate
I have only knit with a mini set one time but loved the results. Check out the Rai Rai by Leeni Hoi.
Another great podcast. Perhaps an option for the minis is the Paul Klee sweater by Midori Hirose. There are some striking projects.
@@jeanerthekeener I’ve always loved that design! Thank you for the suggestion. -Kate
Kate, take a look at the Woodstock Weekend crochet top for your ROYGBIV mini skeins. With a cream base color, that would be stunning.
@@ChristineDorsey1 that is a cute top! Thanks for mentioning it! -Kate

I follow Truly Myrtle podcast each week. Libby Johnson is her name and she is very informative and lively.
I was going to add that too
❤❤❤love you ladies !

Endy bits scarf by kay jones would lo9k great in the rainbow mini set.
For the Truckee CA niece, Jimmy Beans Wool is in Reno NV...maybe an hour away. They are greAt helpers there.
@@marypattrainor3845 I have been to Jimmy Beans when I have visited my brother in CA! If the knitting hobby “sticks” I will definitely tell my niece to visit the shop!

Try the Last Light shawl by Stephanie Lotven for your minis. You'll need a solid color skein as well.
@@annemcdermott6657 nice design! Thanks for the suggestion! -Kate
Kim please take photos of your husband wearing his sweater outside or inside the glass room in Iceland.
@@TheSeamlessKnitter I am sure there will be lots of pictures of Jay in his new sweater when it’s done!! 😍
Not sure if you are a shawl knitter Kate, but I loved making the Ice Cream Social shawl.
@@trinakurek3951 I don’t usually knit shawls but I will check it out! Thank you!! -Kate
Hi ladies, thanks for a lovely podcast. I have a question.
I am going to cast on the space time sweater but I'm concerned about my chosen yarn. It's a very soft 17 micron Marino. My Question is do you think it will be too soft to hold the shape, particularly the neck shape.
Jackie Rose just published a new shrug pattern with 6 different versions. One used minis Kate. It's quite lovely!
@@andrealandsburg thanks for the suggestion! -Kate
I had a box full of DK mini's so I started knitting up granny squares for a baby blanket. Love those! Where did you get them from?
@@gloriamales6737 mine are from www.ontheround.com/ 🌈

@@jocelynmackinnon5886 she has a lot of designs. Thank you for introducing her to me. I will check them out! -Kate
I couldn’t locate the Space Time pattern on Ravelry. Is it exclusive to Pick Up Every Stitch?
It's on ravelry. Try Spacetime as one word. If not hit the link in the show notes. That should bring you to the pattern. Good luck. Kim

@@maryannestoner4065 that is super cute! Thanks for the suggestion! -Kate
Are you knitting a Rhinebeck project this year?
@@corteofs yes! (But Kim and I have already knit ours a couple of years ago!) Pattern is www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gambier
