Millcast Episode 64: Peg’s Hat Launch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лис 2024
- What a wonderful way to celebrate Peg’s birthday by launching our newest pattern, Peg’s Hat, designed by her. If you have been following us for a while, you must have seen the works in progress for this cozy stash buster. Along with the pattern, we are offering small skein bundles with our latest project bag design. We are confident that you will fall in love with this one. We also discuss our weekend full of mill tours, the KAL, and Peg’s Knit Kit.
Note: We quickly sold out of the Peg's Hat Kit, so we put together this batch of Surprise Bags. They do not include the pattern for Peg’s Hat, which can be purchased separately on our website.

Thank you so much!!
Happy Birthday Peggy!🎉
Thank you!
Happy birthday to Peg! Love the hat pattern. great way to use up some yarns.
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday Peg! (Continuing the celebration into the 7th) I finished knitting my N. Cowl on your special day....LOVED your mill cast, colors in your cowl and hat pattern creation! Like most everyone else I SO LOOK FORWARD to your episodes - love how you both embrace all the "firsts" - never having done whatever it is before.....you set the OUT-OF-OUR-COMFORT-ZONE bar very high and are an inspiration for the rest of us. 🧶
Thank you!
Happy birthday Peggy! Loved your cowl so much last millcast I ordered the same yarn! Today in all its glory it's perfection. The hat is so clever.
Thank you! It is a fun knit!
Ooo, combed top in PURPLE!!! Interested!!!!
You both amaze me by your skills and willingness to troubleshoot all the mill equipment. That is not my skill set so it’s really impressive! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks 👍
Happy Birthday, Peg!! Love your colorful hat pattern. Both of your cowls are gorgeous and a fabulous combination of yarn and pattern. Sorry to have missed the NEFF IG JFM tour. For some reason, the video keeps stopping but it sounds like it was a success! Loved getting a glimpse of the baby bump…..won’t be long now! The booties are adorable and especially in your own sheeps’ wool. I always look forward to your millcasts. Good luck figuring out your new spinning machine, your ingenuity is impressive. Take care and see you next time!
Thank you!
Good to see you gals, love your cowls the cors are so beautiful. Pegs hat is adorable I love the bag especially the sheep. Good luck with your spinner. Your yarn is so beautiful 😊. Until next time
Thank you!
That hat pattern is just fantastic.
Glad you like it - we think it is pretty neat!
I really love the super-technical discussion about dealing with static on the new spinner! Love Peg's Hat pattern and how nicely it uses up leftover yarn..definitely going to knit this. Also I LOVE my Nourishment Cowl and wear it often. I don't have a piece that simply drapes my shoulders and neck - no wrapping around making it bulky..really glad I joined the KAL.
So glad! Thank you :)
Happy Birthday, Peg! Another great millcast. I hope you have those project bags available soon ( only noon on the day you released the podcast and you’re sold out of the surprise bag already.)
Thank you!
Happy Birthday PEG🍾🥂🧶👍😘
Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Peg!!, and best wishes to you Amanda and family!
Thanks so much!
Happy birthday Peggy. The hat pattern looks good and I will be adding it to my to do list. The cowls are a really great idea for extra warmth and look good at the same time. Hope you get the spinner sorted. 🇬🇧
Thank you!
Yippee! So eager to knit your hat, Peg; thanks for the pattern. Both of your cowls are beautiful, and the baby booties are fantastic, Amanda. You did a wonderful job on the Mill tour. Happy Birthday to YOU, Peggy!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Peg!! Congratulations on your hat pattern launch! I’m with your mode of row tracking, write it down cross it off! Hope your static situation gets resolved!
Thanks so much!!
Happy Birthday Peggy & thank you for sharing your hat pattern!
Let’s have a Leap Day baby!!
Happy birthday, Peg! Thank you both for sharing your mill journey with us. It’s always a treat! I laughed after the last episode as I recalled the bit about drain cleaning. Only you two could make that entertaining. I love both your cowls, as I love mine too. Great pattern from Erika, who is a lovely person. Also, I’ve had a knit kit for several years, (in purple) gifted to me by my son when he was a youngster. Love that thing. I missed out on the hat kit, so maybe there will be more? Maybe see you in Wayland next month (covid kept me from the last one.)
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Peg! I am looking forward to getting the hat pattern to use up some little balls of yarn. I am also trying out a mitten pattern with making tracks. What fun!
Thanks!
Happy Birthday Peg. Congrats on the pattern release. So cool that the new baby gets to wear booties made from your sheep's wool. Amazing what you all get done collaborating. Ewe rock!
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday Peg! 🎈congrats on the hat launch. You are looking great Amanda! Thanks for showing the baby bump. The booties are adorable.

Hi Peggy and Amanda! Happy Birthday Peggy! 🎉 Truly enjoy your inspiring podcasts! What a beautiful "Pegs Hat" and Great Bag!!! Just placed my order!!! Can not wait to cast it on!
Happy Knitting 🧶
Yay! Thank you!
Oh! The hat bundle is already sold out!
Yes - they went fast!
Amanda, you did a terrific job with your virtual tour and your patience with answering (my) questions! MillCast Sheep Peeps represented! I’m making my purchases today - just had to look at the stash to see what I NEED (of course, lol). Enjoy your maternity leave! 👩🏻🍼love the “Wool” project bags!
Peggy, missed Ewe! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! 🎉 congratulations on your pattern! I’m gonna have to learn to knit!
☺️
I have a couple favorite CROCHET gadgets, but it seems this is more of a knitting community. It’s cool though 😉🫶🏻🧶
Thank you - and please do share your favorite crochet gadgets!
I’m a retired hairdresser of 50 yrs. I’m wondering if hair conditioner is the answer to your static. Love your energy and beautiful faces
Great idea!
Love the knit kit. I have 3 of them but be careful, the tab easily breaks off the tape measure. Still, very worth the investment.
Good to know!
I even have trouble with static fibers for hand spinning!
Indeed!
Happy Birthday Peggy! I'm so sad the bag and pattern combo sold out. Any plans to make more?
Thank you - new surprise bags with 3 skeins just posted in our store!
How about setting a mister ( think of the cosmetic ones used for facials or sinus pain ) to blow on the fiber ?
Or
If you can’t put metal across the area that builds up static ( I’m thinking piece of wire ) I wonder if a strand of yarn or wool fabric stretched across that the static can transfer to ?
No need to respond I’m just spitballing here 😂.
Good to see you guys ! Gotta order a skein of farm fresh to add to the white left over from my “spell it “ hat … so I can make an all white hat !
Thank you for the ideas!
@@junctionfibermill any time ! I have never been known to not have advice for some body ! 😂😂😉
Will you be making more of the hat kits??? Please
Good news- we have just reissued surprise bags with the We Wool Rock Ewe bags- we were surprised that the hat kits sold out so quickly and made a quick pivot. There are at least 3 skeins of yarn in each that can be used to make a hat or other colorwork projects! They are linked in a newsletter that Amanda just emailed out!
Love the hat! Already have lots of making tracks 😊 just got a millbox that I want to use.... Will the bag be available on its own eventually?
We are using it for bundles and kits right now. :)
Are you planning to make more hat kits?
Thank you!
Just checked your website and the hat kit is sold out any chance of getting more please😊
Similar kits just got posted - surprise bags with 3 skeins!
