It’s always such a treat to see a new episode of the shopcast - from inspiration ideas and patterns, all things sheepy, and wonderful FOs to see - ❤ beautiful yarns you’ve introduced me to.
I always enjoy your shopcasts - especially seeing what you are both knitting (also Emma, Caitlin and Gradie). Your enthusiasm is catching! As I watch this one, I'm just finishing my 3rd Love Note sweater (this one is for my granddaughter). Thank you for your wonderful woolly yarns, which I love and your inspiration!👍
Hello, I love your podcast and delightful woolly wool! Thank you for eliminating the ads❤ Please, keep on doing exactly what you are. You are inspiring.
Love your energy today! So much inspiration from each of you and so many good yarns to choose from. Thank you for including Kim and her yoga. It was just what I needed 😊
Another great Shopcast! Can’t wait to see the Dunrobin Kits when they hit the shop. I’m looking forward to knitting one up. Love your hair, Corinne. And Maggie, your knitted duck is SO cute! Will be fun to see when you knit a dress for it. Looking forward to the next Shopcast - I could watch one ever day!!
I can’t wait for the kits of your Dunrobin sweater to come out, Corinne! It’s beautiful and looks so cozy. Maggie, your duck is adorable and your sweater is gorgeous! Thanks for always providing entertainment, good conversation and of course lovely knitting ideas. Watching you both is always like sitting down with friends.
I love Kelsey’s basket. I’m going to have to learn crochet. What a great way to use up my stash to make room for all the woolly wools I want to buy. Another great shopcast!
Cheers to another great shopcast! Thank you for sharing all your lovely WIPs and FOs. I'm loving the Nana Duck and look forward to trying my needles on one of the lovelies found in the Mouche and Friends book. Nana Duck is definitely a favored pick. Happy knitting!
Im so thrilled to have found a new yarn store addiction! Thank you for all of the yarn-ey goodness you bring, and the amazing, amazing community you’ve gathered!
Thank you for being my knitting companions this afternoon. Loved seeing Maggie’s Paul Klee sweater and her duck. Hope you weren’t affected by the recent heavy rain and flooding. Keep calm & dry and knit on!
I look forward to your Shopcast every two weeks! I enjoyed Kelsey’s segment. I knit with wool all year round because I live in the Pacific Northwest and our summers here don’t (usually) get too hot. I love knitting with and wearing wool!
What a lovely knitting community full of creativity! I just love to talk about yarn and yarny things.... so thanks for being my yarn people! I love Kelsey's Scrap Bag and added it to my queue already. You have so many beautiful yarns and I love knitting with them. I recently purchased some of the Birlinn Yarn in Peaty Brown for the main color in a Paul Klee sweater. Maggie, yours is just gorgeous! (And I love your cute little duck!). I love my Fridays with you, but enjoy your little break in June. See you soon!
Thank you Emma! Your words and thoughts on multiple ufos were music to my ears as I have more than a dozen wips at various stages of completion. Thanks for validating my knitting life. I’m also knitting the buggifloora hat and while it’s not difficult, the main pattern chart is a challenge and I keep putting it aside for more relaxing knits.
Well - that duck did it for me too - too cute!! Just a note - I too like the crinkly bag sounds. I agree - we know what's inside them - gorgeous woolly wool. And Kelsey's basket was great; I was eyeing that pattern and hers looks wonderful. Thank you again for everything and all the inspiration!
The Duck is absolutely adorable. 🦆I'm a sucker for knitted stuffed animals. I have a rocking chair overflowing with a wild assortment of all kinds. I've had some Rambler yarn for a while; while I will use most of it for socks, I think a creature may look nice in the yarn too. I look forward to seeing some projects from the loom Corinne. I noticed the # of this episode - wow - another milestone coming 🤫😉 ❤
I loved this episode as usual. Caitlin’s yarn basket totally inspired me. I have some odd skeins of bulky yarn I have not known what to use for. I immediately looked up the pattern and started my own yarn basket! What a great way to use up these odd yarns. Thank you! 😎
So much great inspiration, I just had to add Maggie‘s Paul Klee sweater and Kelsey’s basket to my queue. Thanks so much for the great ideas and yarn selections!
Ok I didn't know how much I needed the Mouche and Friends book until I saw Maggie's duck! My grandchildren love playing with all the stuffies I make and even try to sneak them home...they're perfect summer knit projects, including Kelsey's stash-busting crochet basket, and knitting sleeves on the go on my current Nordic sweater...I Love all the woolly inspiration and ideas TWT shares, especially the curation of fabulous yarns! Enjoy a fruitful summer 🌞
another fab episode - thank you. Perfect timing about spring cleaning my WIPs. I am feeling completely overwhelmed by the 17 WIPs I have going. I feel much more comfortable with a maximum of 3 WIPs.
Great show! Loved the basket that Kelsey made-I’m not a crocheter but I might give it a try. Emma you inspired me to look at my wips and truly plan of my summer. Finally,Corrine and Maggie you were wonderful as always and I think I’ve got to get a sock bag - such temptation.
Another great episode! I am all about Kelsey’s crochet basket. I’ve seen a bunch of them that people have made and no matter what yarns are thrown together, the result is fabulous! Maggie your duck is adorable. I keep telling myself I don’t need to knit toys since I’ve no one to give them to (and the setter would totally decide I’d made him a new stuffy to disembowel), but ooooh the temptation is great.
Another fun podcast filled with so many things woolly. Thanks for taking some time off to be refreshed and that way we won't get behind when we go away.
I love your yarns, your projects, and shopcasts so much. I need to be a faster knitter -- then I could buy more of your lovely woolly wools without increasing the size of my stash. Looking forward to Nana's dress!
I love the clips from Emma. She is so interesting and I have learned many knitting tricks from her. I try to only have four or five projects on my needles at once. Kelsey crocheted baskets are a great idea to use up scraps.
I absolutely love the Woolly Mammoth color combos!! And John Arbon’s wool is just gorgeous as well! I’m planning my next sweater for the late summer sweater KAL and seeing these yarns makes me indecisive!! I want them all!! Another great episode ladies!
I love the baskets Kelsey was crocheting. Gave me an idea for a lot of fingering I have had for a least 10 years. I have been listening to your podcast since you were NHKnits and love the inspiration.
Enjoyed this shopcast as always! It’s so enjoyable to sit and knit with you. Thank you for all you do to make the Woolly Thistle a lovely place to shop and for community. Looking forward to the sock-a-long as it will give me the motivation to make my friend her sock’s for her birthday at the end of July. Emma you just flabbergast me with your productivity but 13+ WIP’s😱😱😱. Love, love Kelsey’s basket! Reminds me of my basket WIP. Best CAA that along with several other items. Just not enough time! Happy summer solstice ☀to everyone (I’m watching this a bit late 😉)
I learn something new every time. All of you have such great info. Ordering the sock bag today. Will be my first purchase after watching y'all for almost a year. Need more yarn lol!
Thank you ladies for your inspiration! I actually have cleaned up my wips.....I frogged 3 of them! one just wasn't coming out well, one I just didn't like the color combo and the last - well I decided to use the yarn for a different project i want to try. This clean up felt good.....and I found needles I forgot I had...LOL Kelsey, love the basket! so many good ideas so little time.....LOL
So much to love here-I ordered my sock bag, only one, so far-The scrappy basket is a wonderful idea-and I want a Paul Klee sweater for myself! Thank you for all of the inspiration!
I look forward to your podcasts every week; can't wait to get my sock bag. I need to finish a pair of socks and want to start socks with the beautiful John Arbon yarn. Thank you all so much. Enjoy the time away--summer will be gone before you know it! I did clean out some yarn and move needles and forgot you all were doing it! Must have been in my mind from the earlier podcast. Thank you all so much.
Corrine and Maggie -- I consider a loom to be a beautiful work of art and soooo enjoy admiring mine even though I don't have a project on it. Looms are both useful tools and inspire beautiful projects. Enjoy your new-to-you loom and happy weaving. Love your podcasts, yarn, news, projects, and it will be so awesome to order weaving yarn from TWT. I love to knit but am a slow knitter -- I can weave something much quicker. Your shop is so inspiring. Thank you!
Love that Donrobin sweater!!! So love your chit chatting about The Crown! I have a daughter living in Chesham for past 3 years (a grandson Ive never met except FT, but it works). Great episode again, so fun!! Thank you, thank you! I want that purple Donegal yarn!
I love your podcast! I have learned so much from all the contributors. I don’t feel so bad just having three or four WIPs on my needles … I think anymore than that would make my anxiety level go through the roof!! Looking forward to The Woolly Mammoth socks as Emma’s podcast is another favorite of mine!!
OK, I thought I was the only one with a huge # of projects on the needles / spinning pile that I really want to do and there just is not enough hours in the day lately. I also get bored if I don't have more than just a sock choice for TV or knitting club or quiet concentration time.. Project bags everywhere...Thanks Ema for bringing this up and clean up time with other 'normal' makers! Sometimes we need a project plan. Yoga is always good. Thanks again for another good episode.
I love your socks kits and the cards that you include with suggested patterns are really helpful. I have bought your Xmas boxes and really appreciate those suggested patterns. Thank you for including the cards.
Another great and inspiring shopcast! I’m trying to have a year of cawing my projects because that’s how long it’s going to take me. 😂 I have loads of unfinished shawls for a start…
After having recently completed my 4th pair of socks for ME, I have started on other projects..... but your sock packs and the upcoming KAL have me rethinking those plans! LOVE the duck
I’ve been needing to go through my wips and knitting bags for quite a while now if for no other reason, to find all my needles! It seems I swatch then hide or start and stall more often than I realize. Definitely going to do this, and soon! Thanks for another great episode. I Always find your projects and yarns so inspiring!
The duck is so cute! I am very excited for the sock bag. I have also been trying to finish some WIPs this year but have been casting on a lot of things recently. I need to get back to finishing.
Love the podcast. I knit whatever I want no matter the season. In the summer I knit in pieces for a sweater. Then when done sewing is done when I don’t mind it in my lap. In the fall and winter I knit in the round. There is always something on the needles.
Perfect summer afternoon in my sunroom knitting, watching your latest podcast and enjoying a beautiful day. Love all your projects, yarn profiles and of course both of you. Thank you for taking the time to record and share as it is wonderful to not only share this love but to also be inspired. Happy summer to all’s
I am enjoying your summer via your shopcast but it is winter woolly knitting time in Australia. Your shop has sooo many temptations that we do not have here.
Love the duck! I really enjoy your shopcast and watch every one - while knitting of course. Tell Emma that I am going to be running a WIP-along for the month of July in my Ravelry group (Fans of Knitwise Design). I really need accountability too! Any and all knit and crochet wips welcome! Tell her I'll be getting something up about it in the group during the last week of June.
Such woolly goodness! Really glad y'all are having a wee break for summer from recording, even though I enjoy each episode so much. The sock bags are delicious looking, and I had fun watching while knitting on a Vatna shawl using a cone of 54 and some Spindrift. yum!
PS, Emma is a kindred spirit--I have about 20 WIPS, which is Too Many, even for me. So I have made a plan (after accidentally casting on the Vatna, for which I blame Maggie), to finish up the sweaters (cough, 10, cough). I have lots of socks in progress, which doesn't bother me because I like having socks in all stages of progress so I can grab the perfect one for on-the-go knitting and know that I will eventually finish the pairs. But I know I will get startitis again, so I better get a case of finishupitis asap.
Thanks for another goodie filled episode! Corinne congrats on finalizing another sweater pattern, excited for the release! Maggie congrats to your new grad! Def grad season, my oldest niece graduated last week, don't know where the time went!
I always enjoy the Shopcast, so many inspirational ideas. I do have most of my summer knitting planned, and try to be a monogamous knitter. I have decided I need to break that rule this summer because I am knitting the black/purple/green Latvian mittens kit and have to do so when the light is right because, well, mostly black yarn on tiny needles and old eyes. This leaves a lot of knit time available for lighter color and larger needle projects. Also, I was surprised to see you feature my version of the Afetos shawl. That was a pleasant surprise. Enjoy your summer break. See you in July.
Oh, that is the cutest duck ever! I agree, with not understanding the question, Maggie! So excited that Dunrobin will be out soon! A knitting acquaintance recently mentioned that " no one is knitting now, since it is summer" - I said, no, no, no - I am always knitting - it is definitely a year-round activity!
So much fun, as always! Maggie, you really should make that Saona cardigan. I'm working with Saona right now, and I cannot wait for this finished garment! I am being tempted by the Woolly Mammoth sock sets...
I just ordered my sock bag while watching and now you are going to have Woolly Mammoth!! That is how I found the Wooly Thistle, you were on the Woolly Mammoth stockist list.
Love learning about (and seeing-only wish I could touch the yarns, too) your featured woolly yarns from around the world. I ordered two new-to-me yarns during your recent sale and am currently trying out the Rauma Fivel in a Manhattan Hat. I have made several of this pattern for charity, but this hat will probably have to stay with me. The yarn has no prickle factor and has a nice squish due to the loose spin. I am eager to see how the fabric feels after a wet block. I can see more of this yarn in some future garments!
I appreciate Emma's advice to start colorwork with a hat! I have dreams of a sweater, but I think I will start with the Flowers of Fortrose before I tackle the Porty pullover. I plan to do both with J&S yarn that I already bought from TWT. So exciting!
I love all things Woolly Thistle! I feel like friends with Corrine, Maggie, Graidi and all the others! I take notes as I am learning so much!! Looking forward to Jon Arbon Ex moor restock! Kim’s yoga is a must!!!
Lovely Maggie, I have been "umming and aahhing" over buying "Mouche & Friends" but your Nana Duck!!!! oh my goodness you have convinced me!! Wonderful podcast as always great ladies and much love for the rainbow flag xxxxxx
Yay for crochet baskets!!! I’m making a large one now using acrylic yarn scraps (2 to 3 or4 strands), to use up bits & bobs. Or I may use one strand = smaller baskets. My “palate cleansers” are: crochet totes or baskets. Love all the yarn! Must try John Arbon’s Devonia & Yarnadelic! Made quite a lot of socks w Exmoor Sock & love them! Love that purple sweater… my second favorite color (reds are all-time fave)!!
I enjoyed the shopcast, especially the yoga. It was timely. Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to the Sock Sprint, hopefully I’ll complete a pair.
Nice episode! Long ago, I decided that I was too scattered when I took on multiple projects at once. I’d forget where I was or what I was doing and I’d have to learn it all over again. I decided I was *not allowed* to start something before I finished the last one. That has worked really well for me. I can get things finished much faster and better because I don’t lose momentum or concentration or track of the pattern/procedure. The incentive is there because whilst knitting the item, I am constantly reviewing in my head the patterns and the stash I have on hand and thinking of what I will start next. Chacun a son gout - play to your strengths!
I❤️ ❤️ ❤️ the Wooly Thistle, thank you for all you do....
It’s always such a treat to see a new episode of the shopcast - from inspiration ideas and patterns, all things sheepy, and wonderful FOs to see - ❤ beautiful yarns you’ve introduced me to.

Thanks for including crochet. I have been crocheting longer than I have been knitting.
I am inspired. I am glad to be The Wooly Thistle. 😊❤
Wonderful, totally fun, inspiring Shopcast! Connecting with my knitting friends then going to an awesome concert made for a splendid day! Thank you!!

Love the duck and Kelsey's basket. Great inspiration with all the yarn today. 🇬🇧

Yay! Thank you for the fun shopcast. All the lovely projects and ideas. The Sock Sprint looks fun with all those lovely colours in your bags.
Always enjoying your episodes but the yoga for shoulders was the best thing ❤❤❤ thank you I am feeling so much better
Cheers to another great shopcast! Thank you for sharing all your lovely WIPs and FOs. I'm loving the Nana Duck and look forward to trying my needles on one of the lovelies found in the Mouche and Friends book. Nana Duck is definitely a favored pick. Happy knitting!
Im so thrilled to have found a new yarn store addiction! Thank you for all of the yarn-ey goodness you bring, and the amazing, amazing community you’ve gathered!
Thank you for being my knitting companions this afternoon. Loved seeing Maggie’s Paul Klee sweater and her duck. Hope you weren’t affected by the recent heavy rain and flooding. Keep calm & dry and knit on!
Loving all the John Arbon yarns, excited for the sock challenge! Great to see Emma and Kelsey’s projects and using wool yarn for summer knits.
So many beautiful yarn and projects. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful knits.
Shoulder yoga is just what I needed! Thank you for adding all the fun tid bits to your shop cast. Much appreciated
Great episode! I love all the projects and yarn behind you. ❤
I really enjoyed the extras. Did the yoga and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it!
I look forward to your Shopcast every two weeks! I enjoyed Kelsey’s segment. I knit with wool all year round because I live in the Pacific Northwest and our summers here don’t (usually) get too hot. I love knitting with and wearing wool!
What a lovely knitting community full of creativity! I just love to talk about yarn and yarny things.... so thanks for being my yarn people!

Love the new sock bag design. Maggie your sweater is gorgeous. Have a great summer.
Thank you Emma! Your words and thoughts on multiple ufos were music to my ears as I have more than a dozen wips at various stages of completion. Thanks for validating my knitting life. I’m also knitting the buggifloora hat and while it’s not difficult, the main pattern chart is a challenge and I keep putting it aside for more relaxing knits.
Always love your podcast. Kim’s exercises are one of my favorites.
Well - that duck did it for me too - too cute!! Just a note - I too like the crinkly bag sounds. I agree - we know what's inside them - gorgeous woolly wool. And Kelsey's basket was great; I was eyeing that pattern and hers looks wonderful. Thank you again for everything and all the inspiration!
As the summer sets in and my knitting turns to socks, I love seeing all the rustic wool options! Thank you for another lovely shopcast as always!
The Duck is absolutely adorable. 🦆I'm a sucker for knitted stuffed animals. I have a rocking chair overflowing with a wild assortment of all kinds. I've had some Rambler yarn for a while; while I will use most of it for socks, I think a creature may look nice in the yarn too. I look forward to seeing some projects from the loom Corinne.

Another great episode. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Loved the yoga for the shoulders, it felt great!
I forgot to mention Kelsey - love her crocheted baskets and her knowledge about yarns! 👍
I loved this episode as usual. Caitlin’s yarn basket totally inspired me. I have some odd skeins of bulky yarn I have not known what to use for. I immediately looked up the pattern and started my own yarn basket! What a great way to use up these odd yarns. Thank you! 😎
Love knitting while watching each episode!
So much great inspiration, I just had to add Maggie‘s Paul Klee sweater and Kelsey’s basket to my queue. Thanks so much for the great ideas and yarn selections!
Great episode! Love all the summer knits ideas!
Oooh so excited about the yarn from Emma. Thanks for the sneak peek. I’ll certainly be watching for the newsletter!

Enjoyed the shopcast. The two sock bags look like so much fun! Now, which to choose. Thanks everyone for your hard work to put these shows together.
I LOVE the knitted duck!
I love your yarns, your projects, and shopcasts so much. I need to be a faster knitter -- then I could buy more of your lovely woolly wools without increasing the size of my stash. Looking forward to Nana's dress!
I love the clips from Emma. She is so interesting and I have learned many knitting tricks from her. I try to only have four or five projects on my needles at once. Kelsey crocheted baskets are a great idea to use up scraps.
The sock bag colors remind me of delicious taffy in shops on Mackinaw Island! Thank you, one and all, for a shopcast on which I can "chew" my ideas!
I absolutely love the Woolly Mammoth color combos!! And John Arbon’s wool is just gorgeous as well! I’m planning my next sweater for the late summer sweater KAL and seeing these yarns makes me indecisive!! I want them all!! Another great episode ladies!

Corrine and Maggie -- I consider a loom to be a beautiful work of art and soooo enjoy admiring mine even though I don't have a project on it. Looms are both useful tools and inspire beautiful projects. Enjoy your new-to-you loom and happy weaving. Love your podcasts, yarn, news, projects, and it will be so awesome to order weaving yarn from TWT. I love to knit but am a slow knitter -- I can weave something much quicker. Your shop is so inspiring. Thank you!
How appropriate for Kim's yoga segment for shoulders!!! Recent travel to Massachusetts has left my shoulders. Can't wait for Dunrobin!!
Another great episode. I love Maggie’s Paul Klee sweater. It is definitely in my queue.
Love to watch your podcast , always lots new to see and learn
Love that Donrobin sweater!!! So love your chit chatting about The Crown! I have a daughter living in Chesham for past 3 years (a grandson Ive never met except FT, but it works). Great episode again, so fun!! Thank you, thank you! I want that purple Donegal yarn!
I too love to hear the crinkly paper. I just know my beautiful yarn is well protected. I will be eyeing the sock yarn. 😊
Another great shop cast! So many great ideas. Looking forward to checking out the Woolly Mammoth dyed yarns.
Love the Paul Klee sweater! So nice that your daughter will have one too:-)
Always love the shop-cast! The sock bags are amazing. They would go with the mystery sock-along with Steven West!
Oh, I so wish I had the money to buy some of that sock yarn. They look so beautiful. Thanks for another fun and interesting podcast ladies.
I love your podcast! I have learned so much from all the contributors. I don’t feel so bad just having three or four WIPs on my needles … I think anymore than that would make my anxiety level go through the roof!! Looking forward to The Woolly Mammoth socks as Emma’s podcast is another favorite of mine!!

Yoga is always good. Thanks again for another good episode.
I love your socks kits and the cards that you include with suggested patterns are really helpful. I have bought your Xmas boxes and really appreciate those suggested patterns. Thank you for including the cards.
So inspiring as usual. I always come away from an episode with too many ideas for new things to knit!
Gorgeous yarn
Another great and inspiring shopcast! I’m trying to have a year of cawing my projects because that’s how long it’s going to take me. 😂 I have loads of unfinished shawls for a start…
Just ordered my sock bag and a few other little things. I am so excited to be able to try some new to me yarn!
After having recently completed my 4th pair of socks for ME, I have started on other projects..... but your sock packs and the upcoming KAL have me rethinking those plans! LOVE the duck
I’ve been needing to go through my wips and knitting bags for quite a while now if for no other reason, to find all my needles!

Perfect summer afternoon in my sunroom knitting, watching your latest podcast and enjoying a beautiful day. Love all your projects, yarn profiles and of course both of you. Thank you for taking the time to record and share as it is wonderful to not only share this love but to also be inspired. Happy summer to all’s
Thank you so much for watching Susan! We're so glad you're here and that you enjoy the Shopcast! Hope you have a wonderful summer as well!
I am enjoying your summer via your shopcast but it is winter woolly knitting time in Australia. Your shop has sooo many temptations that we do not have here.
Love the duck! I really enjoy your shopcast and watch every one - while knitting of course. Tell Emma that I am going to be running a WIP-along for the month of July in my Ravelry group (Fans of Knitwise Design). I really need accountability too! Any and all knit and crochet wips welcome! Tell her I'll be getting something up about it in the group during the last week of June.
This duck is so cute! A perfect gift for Louise Penny fans!!
Thank you! I think I need to read some Louise Penny!
I need to do some culling and finishing wips so I can buy more yarn. I love everything i see in your shop!
Enjoyed this! -Tami L.
Such woolly goodness! Really glad y'all are having a wee break for summer from recording, even though I enjoy each episode so much. The sock bags are delicious looking, and I had fun watching while knitting on a Vatna shawl using a cone of 54 and some Spindrift. yum!
PS, Emma is a kindred spirit--I have about 20 WIPS, which is Too Many, even for me. So I have made a plan (after accidentally casting on the Vatna, for which I blame Maggie), to finish up the sweaters (cough, 10, cough). I have lots of socks in progress, which doesn't bother me because I like having socks in all stages of progress so I can grab the perfect one for on-the-go knitting and know that I will eventually finish the pairs. But I know I will get startitis again, so I better get a case of finishupitis asap.
Discover your UA-cam channel. Love the fact that you give the mic' to other knitters during your episodes.
Thanks for another goodie filled episode! Corinne congrats on finalizing another sweater pattern, excited for the release! Maggie congrats to your new grad! Def grad season, my oldest niece graduated last week, don't know where the time went!
I always enjoy the Shopcast, so many inspirational ideas. I do have most of my summer knitting planned, and try to be a monogamous knitter. I have decided I need to break that rule this summer because I am knitting the black/purple/green Latvian mittens kit and have to do so when the light is right because, well, mostly black yarn on tiny needles and old eyes. This leaves a lot of knit time available for lighter color and larger needle projects. Also, I was surprised to see you feature my version of the Afetos shawl. That was a pleasant surprise. Enjoy your summer break. See you in July.
Oh, that is the cutest duck ever! I agree, with not understanding the question, Maggie! So excited that Dunrobin will be out soon! A knitting acquaintance recently mentioned that " no one is knitting now, since it is summer" - I said, no, no, no - I am always knitting - it is definitely a year-round activity!
So much fun, as always! Maggie, you really should make that Saona cardigan. I'm working with Saona right now, and I cannot wait for this finished garment! I am being tempted by the Woolly Mammoth sock sets...
I just ordered my sock bag while watching and now you are going to have Woolly Mammoth!! That is how I found the Wooly Thistle, you were on the Woolly Mammoth stockist list.
Love learning about (and seeing-only wish I could touch the yarns, too) your featured woolly yarns from around the world. I ordered two new-to-me yarns during your recent sale and am currently trying out the Rauma Fivel in a Manhattan Hat. I have made several of this pattern for charity, but this hat will probably have to stay with me. The yarn has no prickle factor and has a nice squish due to the loose spin. I am eager to see how the fabric feels after a wet block. I can see more of this yarn in some future garments!
I appreciate Emma's advice to start colorwork with a hat! I have dreams of a sweater, but I think I will start with the Flowers of Fortrose before I tackle the Porty pullover. I plan to do both with J&S yarn that I already bought from TWT. So exciting!
I love all things Woolly Thistle! I feel like friends with Corrine, Maggie, Graidi and all the others! I take notes as I am learning so much!! Looking forward to Jon Arbon Ex moor restock! Kim’s yoga is a must!!!
I wish you had a gansey Kal with instructional video!
Lovely Maggie, I have been "umming and aahhing" over buying "Mouche & Friends" but your Nana Duck!!!! oh my goodness you have convinced me!! Wonderful podcast as always great ladies and much love for the rainbow flag xxxxxx
Yay for crochet baskets!!! I’m making a large one now using acrylic yarn scraps (2 to 3 or4 strands), to use up bits & bobs. Or I may use one strand = smaller baskets. My “palate cleansers” are: crochet totes or baskets.
Love all the yarn! Must try John Arbon’s Devonia & Yarnadelic! Made quite a lot of socks w Exmoor Sock & love them! Love that purple sweater… my second favorite color (reds are all-time fave)!!
I enjoyed the shopcast, especially the yoga. It was timely. Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to the Sock Sprint, hopefully I’ll complete a pair.
So glad you'll be joining us for the Sock Sprint!
Nice episode! Long ago, I decided that I was too scattered when I took on multiple projects at once. I’d forget where I was or what I was doing and I’d have to learn it all over again. I decided I was *not allowed* to start something before I finished the last one. That has worked really well for me. I can get things finished much faster and better because I don’t lose momentum or concentration or track of the pattern/procedure. The incentive is there because whilst knitting the item, I am constantly reviewing in my head the patterns and the stash I have on hand and thinking of what I will start next.
Chacun a son gout - play to your strengths!
Emma - my sister-in-law worked at the 1st Wawa in Aston, PA. We have them here in the Reading area. I have a Wawa hoodie!!
Oh my gosh, I want a Wawa hoodie!! That's spectacular!
