A fan of Liziqi for many years now. Particularly loved the episode where she makes a winter coat and face makeup using flower petals. Definitely dive down the Ravelry project pages rabbit hole daily and find I have spent hours at a time! I am particularly grateful when someone gives me the thumbs up for helpful notes or write and ask me how to questions. It’s well worth the time spent if my notes can help someone else just as they have helped me!
First, I am one of the multitude who love your videos. Second, I have to say that I am SO GLAD that there are knitting stars -- ie, you -- who also start and don't finish. The beautiful colourful sweaters -- that you began for your brother and co-worker, but never finished, but kept rather than ripping out -- are an inspiration to me. I have done the same several times, and used to feel bad about it. But why!? You are so refreshingly reassuring! Thank you.
Fascinating!! Thx for “exposing” the emotional side to knitting. What freedom to donate, fix, frog or forget our projects whether they are WIPs, UFOs, or disappointments. Your creative thoughts & resolutions are inspired! & spurring me on to do the same. You’ve also encouraged me to seek out my local knitters guild! You elevate my knitting to exciting & more productive achievements!
I've used other people's project notes on Ravelry to figure out problems I have come across and other thoughts on patterns. I had someone ask me a question about a pattern I knit. I was excited to help someone after having been helped so many times myself. I love that part of Ravelry.
I totally agree. Every now and then someone will post a question to me - makes me feel like quite the expert! Looking at others' projects is super helpful when deciding what to knit. It is a wonderful resource!
I found Liziqi about a year ago when looking for outdoor furniture projects to make with bamboo which grows nearby. She is so talented in all things! You should check out the episode where she goes to be trained in an ancient Chinese embroidery style, it is amazing. I love her earth to table approach to food and sustainable practices and have been avidly following her channel ever since 🙂 plus her love and care for her grandmother is heart warming
Hurray for community, gathering, knitting, sharing, ! Roxanne, I am so happy to see your smile and your enthusiasm spring up. I celebrate with you ! I am looking forward to see the mittens you make out of your "put aside knits". What a joy to repurpose all that great knitting.
I love the idea of cutting up your knitting to make hats/mitts for charity. I was also thinking it would make a lovely pillow cover. That is what I did with one of my colourwork sweaters that I no longer was wearing. I have tons of felted sweaters that I should dig into and make a bunch of mittens. Thanks for the motivation!
I ordered the Workshop book and am looking forward to experimenting with the heels and checking out how to increase the size of the instep. I love the look of the short row type heel, but can never get them over my foot because of my high instep. Fingers crossed I find success!
Roxanne, have you done a tutorial on how you transition between a purl and knit stitch to eliminate the gaps? Your squares on the baby blanket are so perfect; mine never look that good!
I chuckled when you expressed your dislike for short-row heels. Isn’t it funny how we come to like or dislike certain methods? PLEASE make a video showing the mock short row heel. I need to find a method that makes me like to make socks!
Would love to see a tutorial on the mock short row heel. I think I understand it and will give it a try, but I would love to see how you worked it. Thanks for all the great information, great video!
Lovely video as always and I would also love to see a tutorial on this type of heel! I live in the Netherlands ( I’m Czech originally) but the older ladies in my knitting group also use regular short row heels, so no exciting discoveries there despite being just about 20km from the German border :)
I've also been missing the social knitting aspect. It was possible to meet up with maybe one person outside during the warm summer months, but that was ages ago. I've got a hat to seam for FIF, as well as a few finishing touches on recent small items. What I really need to do is just go through my stash and see if there's anything I've completely forgotten. As always, a delightful podcast! Thank you!
I can relate to the emotional connections to knitted projects. I can recall personal life events, music, and news stories current at the time I knitted various projects. Seeing/wearing the finished projects brings all the memories back. When I knit gifts I try to be conscious of putting "good energy" and positive thoughts into those projects.
Great video again! Another way to repurpose knitted fabric, or washing accidents, is to make "sitte-underlag" /underlays. A piece of felted fabric to take with you when you are to sit down somewhere cold (like outside). It can also be painted with a layer of latex on one side to make it more waterproof.
I have made many of the Mittens that have gone viral this week. We need extra warm mittens here in Ontario too. None of mine are as beautiful as the ones you will be able to make from your knits. I love how warm mine keep me.
Thank you for sharing the story of Dr Biden’s coat. It is lovely and slipped totally past me as I watched the day unfold. She is going to be a wonderful First Lady and I can’t wait to see her in action.
What great ideas for use instead of frogging! Love it. I've saved stuff i couldn't stand to rip out. Now I don't need to feel guilty. And creativity can kick in. Thanks!
Your "semi" toe up method is brilliant! I've been wanting to learn how to do toe up socks but I find Judy's Cast On a bit fussy. Thank you so much for this tip.
Speaking of mittens, Roxanne, will you please make a video about ling mittens with fabric? I'm knitting my first pair for a relative in the Midwest and as you say, I probably should line them for her. What fabric works well: fleece, flannel? And how do I size the lining, is it done by tracing around the finished mitten, then letting the seams of the lining fabric make them small enough to fit inside? I'd sure appreciate your guidance or a tutorial. I've learned so much from you, thank you for educating all of us! Jean
I did a video on this topic a couple of years ago. If you search my channel for "How to line mittens with fleece" you should be able to find it. Or check the playlist on my channel called Mitten Techniques
In Sweden we often knit "raggsockor", which is heavy duty and worn over your other socks. You wear them inside to warm your feet or outside in boots/wellies to keep warm. Hosuband is perfect for knitting these kind of socks.
Around here, we don’t usually have need for more than lightweight mitts for our hands, but I think felted sweater slippers would be wonderful! Thanks for the idea! I’m so glad you had a few pick-me-up experiences this week. Lovely!🥰
“Giddy post-social knitting high” is exactly what I’ve been missing! My guild has their social knitting every Tuesday, but it’s at our dinner time so I’ve yet to go. I’m going to do it!
Ah yes, that's how i do my socks, just without garder bumps (i slip on one side and k2tog on the other side to have braids on the edges, which makes picking up side stitches very easy and intuitive while not adding any bulk). And I use this hourglas construction for heels as well as toes.
I think there is a way to hide your project in Ravelry. When you are on you are on your project page, you can click on "share this" and then on "Share this page with others", by default only people registered on ravelry can see your project, there is also an option to make it visible to anyone and the third one is called "Invite - access with link" which I think hide the project so that you can access it only with the direct link.
Projects are always available for anyone *on Ravelry* to see. That's the default. Anyone on Ravelry *can* see it, if they look for it, or come across it, but they aren't visible outside of Ravelry, unless you allow that by sharing it in some way.
You mentioned how helpful seeing others projects can be. There's also a "helpful" feature. At the bottom of the project page you are finding interesting or useful, there is a question line "are these notes helpful?" if you click on YES button Ravelry will remember that you found this helpful, and when you enter that pattern name on your project, it will list the ones you found helpful so you can easily access them again. This works for a page you have alresdy created...it will show next time you open your page...or for when you are creating a new page. A part of this feature also is that it marks that project as one that someone found useful. When you open the general projects page for that pattern, there is a filter option where you can select all projects people found useful, projects with notes (Love these, I've gotten so much help from other knitters here!), and several related options.
Roxanne, How would you turn the fabric into a mitten? Would you sew on the machine, a couple rows of stitches outlining the hand form and then pick up and knit the pieces together with an I-cord? And then, add a cuff? And, maybe, line with flannel? Love down-to-earth Bernie. Thank you for another great video and links. One of our LYS is collecting handknit 12" x 6' panels which are then seamed together on a designated day in April by volunteers into blankets for a homeless shelter. I'll be doing that this year with some yarn that someone gave me. --KateColors, Ravelry
Thank you for introducing me to Finish It February! I had thought of taking January to finish some of my UFOs, but I liked the idea so much that I decided to do it in February instead! When I told my husband about it, he was like "So, are you making a spreadsheet?!" 😆 I'm not, but I created a form to enter all kinds of information, much like the Ravelry project page you've been presenting. I'm not doing the Ravelry page because I want to add samples of the yarn and such. I spend so much time looking at screens that I'm feeling the analog might work better now. I was wondering if you could show one of your spreadsheets that you use to calculate number of stitches and such. Thank you :)
I've shown my spreadsheet process a few times. If you search my channel for "spreadsheet" you'll get two hits on two Casual Friday videos where I show them.
@@RoxanneRichardson Thank you :) I've just found and watched them! Awesome. I still mostly crochet amigurumis (toys). I've always thought of counting how many stitches in each toy because I have a feeling some of them have the same number of stitches as a blanket lol Toys can be deceiving because they may be small, but take as long time or as many stitches as a large one. Anyway, thank you again!
Roxanne, Andrea and Andrew from Fruity Knitting featured a lady who makes teddy bears from fair isle sweaters. If you jave leftovers from making your potholder mittens, you might be able to make a teddy bear!
So much talent in NYC. Jill Biden's peacock blue tweed walking suit was also made by a New York designer. An interesting quote from Gabriela Hearst's post about the white suit: "Inside of the coat, representing the lifelong calling and service of Dr. Biden as an educator is a hand embroidery on the lining with a quote from Founding Father Benjamin Franklin 'Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.' The materials used were existing available fabrics to minimize the impact on the environment " Gotta love it. Every base covered. To even think of weaving a Founding Father into the garment.... So far, I love Biden's choices (especially Eric Lander as his science and technology cabinet member. My son had Professor Lander for freshman biology at M.I.T. Such a great man to teach a low level course, rather than just grad students.)
Hi Roxanne, I just don't see the search bar for your channel. I understand all you said about searching and how it works different on an ipad (youtube search bar only) vs. a desktop using a browser (two search bars). Where is your channel browser bar? It's probably right in front of my face but I'm a little tech-challenged at times. Thank you.
The original explanation was in a video a few weeks back, which is linked down in the show notes. When you are on the channel, there is a menu of choices for the channel: HOME VIDEO PLAYLISTS COMMUNITY CHANNELS ABOUT and then there is a magnifying glass. That's what you click on to search the channel
You have to go to her main channel page, not just the video page. Click on her name and it should take you to her channel, or direct you to it. Then there is a menu for Home, Videos, Playlists, etc., and Search is one of the menu items. By the way, if you use a browser on your iPad and not the UA-cam app, it works just the same as on a desktop.
I hope you’re planning a Technique Tuesday video about Icelandic socks at some point. I understand your issues about short-row heels - I so agree with you. But what about the fleegle heel, which is sometimes called the gusset heel? Technically it’s not a short-row heel, is it? Also, I’ve been knitting “cuff-down” toes on toe-up socks for years, doing it just as you suggest with a provisional CO. It always feels as if it takes longer. But I love grafting the toe using your technique to eliminate dog ears and I’m one of the crazies who likes the kitchener graft.
Interesting! From the photos, it looks like one of the socks uses the heel known as the "Manufacturer's Heel" shown in Weldon's Practical Stocking Knitter (1882). I can't see for sure if the second one uses the same heel, or if it's the simpler version, known as the "Common Heel" or "Square Heel." Very cool!
Rox, have you seen or tried the 2x2 ribbed “magic heel” developed by the Autumn Acorn? I’d be interested in your reaction. There’s a video about it on UA-cam. Thx.
I loved the title of your episode! Our podcast has an ongoing Knit-along (KAL) called #FinishFixorFrogItKAL - I am loving the inspiration from fellow knitters! Love all of your various topics you talked about today! Thanks! (Dawn)
Here's the information on the guild's January meeting, where the needs of the different organizations the guild is supporting this year are listed. www.knitters.org/who-are-we/blog/2021/01/21/jan-21-meeting-wrap-up The baby blanket I'm knitting is for a different community project. You might be able to still donate blankets to them.

I have also seen the Instagram feed on Dr. Biden's beautiful ensemble. I hope that that is what she will donate to the Smithsonian's collection of the First Ladies inaugural gowns.
