Your doll photography is amazing, please do show some of your photography on this channel, its so creative.
I came for the knitting - stayed for the puns 😉
😆
I love, love, LOVE the hat! AND the puns!
Thank you ☺️!!
You are such a delight to be “around” (virtually!). Thank you for your beautiful podcasts ❤
Oh thank you!
I love the dolls! Never heard of them but they are stunning looking in your photos. There is never enough time to explore all our hobbies. It’s wonderful that you have so many interests!
I totally agree!
Hi! Meditation changed my life ! I started meditating 9 years ago and never missed a day …! I love it ! It is amazing! Acceptance … Do persevere if you desire and you will notice the stillness and the beauty around you everywhere !
❤🙏❤
I LOVE your doll pictures so much! 😍 So cool!
Thank you Britt! There are quite a few on my Blythe Insta true.north.blythe (periods between the words)
That is an absolutely gorgeous hat! So glad to have found someone from my home turf (Leduc). Use as many puns as possible - I was chuckling every time!
Wonderful!
Holy Mackrel, that halibut pullover is a stunner!
😂
Ella Gordon is an incredible designer. She also works at Jamieson & Smith in Lerwick, Shetland. Your hats are beautiful. Well done!
I did not know that she worked there!
What a great sweater; kudos to the designer and to your knitting skills
Thank you! 😊
I am right there with ya on the Treysta sweater. Happy knitting !!!
Thank you for such a wonderful podcast! Your colour work beanie is just perfection. You give such wonderful information in such a calming manner. So great to spend an hour with you as you are so inspirational.
🤍 aw TY Heather 🤍
I live in Airdrie! The Polka Dot Creek store is right beside my husband’s office and the town and Country Centre where the yarn show was held is right beside my kids schools😊
Love your halibut sweater. I would have to say your knitting is more advanced than you think. I enjoy you & your channel so much. Such a good variety of content. Always my favorite Leanne! 😘
Aw Pati you are the sweetest
Arne & Carlos also have Blyth dolls & show them in outfits & have dollhouses… love your podcast & look forward to each episode!
Yes!! They are Blythe fans!
Be Brave! Wear the green sweater whenever, not just on a green holiday. It's a great green! Also love the color combo in the hat...niice. I like picking out sweaters that have a different construction from the same old you see all the time. Last year I knit the Moby and this year I've started the Corbis.
You are so right! 💚💚 I will!
Love you and your channel sister!! I don’t remember you and the dolls…the photography is amazing!! You are so talented ❤
Thank you for watching sister. I don’t have to look very far to see that creativity “runs in the family” 💗💖
Leanne! Your Halibut sweater looks amazing!! you know you will never be cold with it on lol. I loved all your projects as usual. so much inspiration. I'm definitely adding the Fletching in my favorites! Always fun to catch up with you friend! Stay warm out there!! 🥰🧶
If I wear the Halibut and my Musselburgh at the same time I may spontaneously combust 😆
Your colorwork hat is just gorgeous.
Thank you Ann!
I love the dolls ! Thanks for all the great info too.
Thank you Kim! 🤗
Airdrie has grown! It was a village when I visited my grandparents in Calgary in the 1950s. Have fun with your 2024 intentions .
The balloon sleeve makes it look so cozy! What a wonderful choice of modification!
Love your neckline on the halibut - it looks so warm.
Holy Mackerel your Halibut pullover looks amazing, Leanne!🐟 😃 The crown of your Houll Hat looks like a beautiful kaleioscope. Great job on the Airdrie footage. Love the colors of your My Fletching sweater. 💚🤍 I am also having a hard time with my EEW Nano E-spinner. It is in time out right now. I also want to pick up playing the flute again. Those Blythe dolls look so cool!
Rochelle we are soooo on the same frequency girl 👌🏼
That hat is WOW!
Thank you Elien!
Your Halibut sweater is awesome! Great job. Sleeves and length are perfect. Looks very comfortable.
Your Halibut sweater is perfect--including the sleeves!! And, I love your intentions. My knitting intention is to use up stash and resist buying more yarn!
You can do it!
I love love your colorwork Leanne love the Fletcher and the halibut ❤ i really want to cast on all the things you make
Yay!! Are you a colourwork addict as well?
Thank you.❤️
The “Old Port Hat” by Andrea Mowry is a great introduction to brioche. I’ve made two and it’s a very well written pattern. Great job on your projects, the grass green Rauma Finul looks great on you.
Thanks Susan!
A Musselburgh Hat is on my 2024 To Do List, for sure. Love your dolls and their photos!!! That is so neat. Love it!
Your hat is mind-blowing
This episode was great. I love your color work hat! I have made one Musselbough hat and it is my favorite for winter! It’s so fun to be on your trips with you.
Thank you!!
That view sure presents a certain aspect of Canadiana! 😂
Haha… right?! Ahh Saskatchewan and hotel parking lot views. This job is ALL GLAM 😂 🤣
The sweater you have on is so inspirational. I definitely will make this sweater after seeing it on you
It really is a make that I am proud of, would not make it again, but would make the Halibut mitts in a heartbeat 💗
Great episode. Nice to see Canada’s Airdrie. I work in the Scottish Airdrie. They look very different!
Oh my goodness i can imagine! i think the only thing they share is a name! Thanks for messaging and saying hi 👋🏼
I love your detailed info and links at the bottom. SO helpful. Beautiful knits. The Halibut is SO gorgeous…maybe I could wear one at least when fishing? Knitting is the perfect hobby for your career! Love the shop tours too…Airdrie may be doable for me!
Yay!
I stick my yarn down inside the Musselburgh while knitting and it’s even more portable!
Brilliant!!
Love your Halibut sweater, it has a very Native art feel. New sub, I'm always glad to support a fellow Canadian. Hello from BC.
Hellooo to you in BC 👋🏼 thanks for watching! 🇨🇦 Whereabouts are you?
Gosh, I have FOUR Jennifer Beale patterns sitting in my Ravelry library! I love her designs but have been intimidated trying to knit them. You’ve thrown down the proverbial gauntlet so looks like I’ll be knitting one as my 2024 challenge. As always, I love visiting Canada by watching your UA-cam channel 😊
A fellow Canadian podcaster Nikki of @knittingwithcathair is hosting a Jennifer Beale KAL! Extra motivation 🤍
Hello from a fellow “Airdronian”. I too was at the Creekside Yarn festival. My second time going. So mush to see and feel! I enjoyed your podcast. I have many of the same goals as you do this year. Good luck with it all.
I love the Musselburgh hat. I made three of them this winter for my grandchildren who moved from the lower mainland in BC to Ottawa. They needed warm hats and these are super warm. My teenage grandkids love them which is super bonus! I also tested “My Fletching”. I love the colours in yours!
You know a hat is good when it’s teenager approved 👌🏼!!
😂cold here in Michigan too. Sitting in a my little bit of winter woods. Thank you for sharing your and life.
Thanks for watching Ellen! Stay warm!
Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful makes. It is always a pleasure to listen to you talk about your knitting and the enthusiasm is infectious. ❤ I am a late adapter too and just bought the Musselburgh hat pattern and will be making at least 1 this year.
I had a Blythe doll and remember it fondly. It is so funny to hear that some consider the doll to be creepy and I guess it could be if you think about it, but I can't get past how cool it is to be able to change the eye colour. 😉
The Airdrie, Alberta footage was beautiful and made me chilly. 🥶🙂 When I saw the name of the episode I pronounced it "air-dry". Yes, I will hang my head in shame and beg the residents to forgive me. lol
Take care and safe travels until the next podcast. 😘
😆 🤗
So wonderful to spend some time with you Leanne!! You are a colourwork master!! That hat is truly amazing!! I wonder if you could cut the extra bit of colourwork off and reknit the ribbing? You are making me want a super bright sweater!! Must start thinking!
Thank you Selma! What a GENIUS idea to cut off the extra inch and re-do the ribbing. I think I might just do exactly that!
Hi from Northern BC. How nice to see a Canadian blogger. Part of the reason I follow yarny bloggers from around the world is to hear and see their particular areas of the world. With you being an air stewardess, lovely to see different parts of our own country.
Awesome I am glad you’re here to travel with me Lorraine!
I laughed when you said you were ‘finally’ getting in board the buzz with the Musselbrough hat… I am also about to cast in my first one! Partially because I want that simple mindless knit for times when that is required.
I am also midway through the yoke of a Jessica McDonald pattern: Winter Woods with big snowflakes… but so was tempted by My Fletching.
And I am planning to cast on my first Ranunculus (gasp) after I get a couple WIPs done.
So many great patterns to knit and designers to explore.
I love watching your adventures and listening to your chatter - you have such a pleasant manner - vibrant and calming at the same time. 💛
Thank you Sadie - such a lovely message !
I like your plans for this year. I’ve been actually thinking about pulling out my violin. Thank you for continuing to make such great videos.
Violin is such a beautiful instrument!
I love that you have reignited an old passion for dolls. I used to be into ball jointed dolls and even designed knitwear patterns for them. Have you considered knitting for your old doll friends? I've never had a Blythe doll, and I know they come in several sizes, but I believe my Pukifee knitting patterns fits one of the Blythe sizes.
Will definitely have a peak!!
I love to knit and crochet small little bags to carry tea to carry the toiletries or just the spare bag to carry a book as I travel
Your dogged perseverance paid off on the beautiful Halibut sweater. Gorgeous.🥂
Thank you! I would say this project tested my resilience the most of any project in a long while!
I love your punacity! And now, after seeing your houlle hat, I will have to try some colour work
Please do! The colourwork rabbit hole goes on and on and ahhh cannot get enough of
You have an amazing channel! Enjoying your content. Very inspiring!!!!!
Thank you so much Cathy 🤗
Just catching up- whew! Love your Halibut.. not biased at all- lol. Those fingerless Mitts look perfect!… and oh my that Green!!! Beautiful on you. Used to be very much into photography (loved my old Minolta!) and regardless of the muse… a very creative outlet- enjoy!! I admire your “low buy” intentions and thrifting has become yet another passion for me too. Great time knitting with you and I look forward to catching up again next time. ❤️.Linda
Hi Linda! Thank you for your message. Soo much in common eh? I am weeks behind in my podcast-watching and look forward to some days off to see what you’ve been up to as well. 💖
@@theknittystew 🥰
A fun episode - thanks!
I love the dolls !
Yay!
Your sweater is beautiful! I will say that I would not prefer such a deep yoke and the sleeves remind me of a swoncho.
You might consider holding 2 strands of yarn together for the ribbing of your Houll hat.
It will fill in the gaps, give the brim more warmth and stretch, and not put stress on the cast-on (as a smaller needle would do.)
Good idea to start farther into the chart.
Great tip! Thank you Aunt Val!
The "Just for the Halibut" sweater is a beauty! Hard to make a jumper with zero imperfections. I also enjoy trying recipes and I am my worst critic as we all gobble it down with gusto. You are more critical than anyone else would be.
I love the dolls Leanne, your photos are great. I appreciate hearing of your 2024 intentions, always a good idea to develop new skills, I’ve been practicing my stranded colourwork. I saw you at Creekside and wanted to meet you but didn’t want to interrupt your conversation, maybe I’ll see you at Knit City Calgary.
Susan I will 100% be at Knit City YYC and meeting you would not be an interruption!
Howdy, neighbor. I live north of you in Sundre, and just realized there is a yarn store in Airdrie. I can't wait to visit. The closest store to me would be Yak Yarnery in Rocky Mountain House and just north of this store is the Crooked Barn; lovely owners at both places. I believe Airdrie is closer. I think I really want one of those Norwegian thimbles to make life easier.
Howdy! 🤠 Oh my goodness I would love to trek up and see both of those shops! I’ve been online to the Yak Yarnery before but it’s always more fun to squish in person. Regarding the thimble. I watched a tutorial by Dank Fiber on UA-cam to get started and I used a bead of silicone (sealant type stuff) around the inside of it to keep it from moving about on my small index finger 😂. Really helped!
Always enjoy listening to all your yarny adventures. I love the Finull and have made one sweater. I plan on knitting another one soon using a different pattern.
Yes, I could see Rauma Finull becoming a favourite!
That was so much fun and the puns were certainly well placed. :D
I'm on team awesome for the dolls - and the photography!! I would love to make a suggestion for the provisional cast-on. Recently I heard about doing the provisional cast one using a barber cord (tubing) instead of scrap yarn and it's totally change my feelings about doing that cast on! When you are ready to pick up the stitches, you can slide them from the tube onto your needle. I've done this specifically when knitting a double brim hat and it's worked so well for me.
YAY!! I came across a video by Laura Nelkin who does this and I am going for it!
Your colour work is stunning 😊
Thank you! 😊
I learned how best to make the Musselborough hat from the woman on Mostly Knitting podcast. She made 12 (at that time) and she goes thru each one with the sizing and everything. She does so much knitting it's crazy. But she helped me with that hat. and your Halibut sweater is amazing; i like the sleeves!
Yes I follow her! She KNITS a tonne!
Hat is Gorgeous! I laughed when you had it over your face. I've done that before. Also- your borrowed "time is more precious than money" quote is really intentional and thoughtful. Thanks for sharing.
💗💖
Love your Halibut sweater, neck and sleeves look great. Only think I’d have done is knitted the sleeve rib shorter to match the bottom.
Your Halibut pullover is AMAZING 🤩. On the subject of your 2024 knitting intentions, the Letho Cardigan from @moonstruck_knits (Natasja Hornby) ticks many boxes: It’s a cardigan, has brioche, has an excellent provisional cast-on, and from what I can remember, you haven’t knit any of her patterns 😉
Great suggestion! Her designs, including Letho, are in my Favourites file. That one would certainly kill a few birds with one stone. Hmm, that is a rather violent saying isn’t it?
I adore your hat!!
Thank you I really really like it! Ella Gordon is a master
Just discovered your lovely podcast. Love the Halibut sweater. I grew up on the Norwegian west coast and my father often made dinner with halibut.
HELLO there and big welcome! I am fascinated by how massive Halibut can get!
Everything is beautiful, especially the hat!
That LetLopi is ❤❤❤
I’m with you son and husband, those are some creepy dolls. Your knits are beautiful. 😊\
😆 That is fair!
HI Leanne, I have just started playing the alto sax at 69 years old !!! I purchased a sax for a remarkable (approx )$300.00 US and it is giving me a lot of enjoyment ! I recommend you trying again if your neighbours don't mind. Keep on knitting and spinning !
Rock on!
I'm a co-worker Airdronian! Although I've lived here since I was one years old ;) Thank you so much for visiting our shop and the Festival - it was good to see you from afar
👋🏼 🤚🏼 helloooo
There are a group of us from Regina going to knit city in Calgary too!
Nice. Can’t wait to meet Team Regina!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Awesome
Maybe you know the Arne & Carlos podcast. Arne makes fine couture outfits for his Blythe dolls. Even without the doll fashion, they are a delight to follow online.
I love Arne & Carlos!
Love the hat! Love the Halibut sweater … and those dolls? AMAZING!
Thank you ☺️!
Thank you for this Videos ❤ I have Blythe Dolls too, Iam 58 now and play with Dolls😅 kind regards from Germany Birgit 😊
How many do you have Birgit!
Brioche is absolutely easy and FUN, very rhythmic and satisfying. Big bang for the buck as they say. Go for it!
🤜🏼🤛🏼
Leanne: I am always delighted when you create a new podcast. Happy new year. Love your philosophy, you are definitely worth my investment of time and attention. Thank you for taking me to Airdrie, looked like an amazing fibre festival. Learned about Polka Dot Creek from the Crazy Sock Lady and they are on my radar. Happy Knitting and happy travels.
The other Wendy
Happy new year! Thank you other Wendy!
Your Wooly is looking so good!! And your sewing is way better than mine!! Thank you for sharing, Leanne!
🤎🤍 Love my Wooly Clutch! But I assure you my hand sewing is atrocious 🤣
Enjoyed hearing about your intentions for 2024. I bought a Brioche book in 2015 by Nancy M., and haven't tried it yet. Perhaps I will this year. Always fun to listen and watch your podcast. Cheers
This year is as good as any 😂 I still haven’t cast on a brioche project but it’s going to happen.
Another fabulous podcast! Happy New Year 🎉. My 2024 knitting intentions resemble many of yours: be brave, attempt brioche, and more (fyi, steeking is truly easy!). I love to meditate and be intentional. Finally, I’m team “creepy” in terms of the dolls but fully embrace your joy in them🥰
😀
All your work is beautiful
I always jump right on your videos - they never disappoint! Your Halibut sweater is amazing and I envy your great knitting ability. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It’s so fun to see the places you visit. Stay safe in those skies ❤
Thank you! 🥰
Okkkk… I had no intention to write then you made me laugh showing around outside the hotel… in addition my son lives in SK and for a few sec. you “brought him home”. I am Hungarian Candaian and live in NB… don’t travel too much as I am a pastor of a church (btw. speaking of profession, I have a knitting channel too just with a different name) I love your knitting.. and I’m glad you found time to record. Blessings. Alice
Aw blessings to you Alice !
I love your sweater but I had to laugh because I thought it was angels or something!😂
🐟 or 👼
Thank you so much for coming to my store and the festival! 🩷 I talked to so many people who were so excited to have met you! 💕
What a fabulous festival and your Polka Dot Creek team is so lovely - love your shop!
Such a good episode, Leanne! The Halibut looks fantastic! I like the sleeves. I have found the Woodstock pills a lot too…sad because it’s so nice otherwise. Love your Blythe doll photos! Arne, of Arne & Carlos, is obsessed with making clothes doe his Blythe dolls. 😊 Lettlopi plans sound great, I agree it’s very scratchy just don’t make the sweater too close fitting. Oddly, Álafosslopi is much softer? Why? Don’t know. Loved hearing your intentions for the year. Thank you! ❤🧶❄️
Oh thank you Julianna! I have a little bit of Alafoss ..it is softer! Hmm i
GM
Glad to see you this morning
The sweater you have on is gorgeous … beautiful work 😊 your makeup bag and your hat are so cute !!
My sister in law lives in Airdrie and I’ve been several times thanks for bringing back memories of living in Strathmore going to the mountains was my favorite !!!
Have a great day !!😊🥰
Have a great day Debbie!
I sat down to knit your neck warmer …how wonderful to sit and knit with your new episode. Thanks!
You did! Thats so cool! Which one? The North Wind Cowl or the Fall Fire?
@@theknittystew sorry, no. The Red Hot Neckwarmer…even it if I had to rip back and go down a needle size after 6 rows…but it was done and blocking…
Happy New Year! Wishing you a wonderful 2024!
Same to you!
Your Fletching is fantastic! That is one on my list of want to makes. Also the colorwork beanie is WoW!! Great catching up with you, always a fun time!🥰
Thanks so much!
Leanne, your Halibut is indeed an epic voyage! I love it so much and I think need one. I thought the cowl would satisfy me but now I’m caught and I feel the pull 😉🎣 Thanks again for the fun times, Leanne.❤
I’m from the same ‘school’ of thought… and feel like I need the Halibut mitts. Your sticker is going in the mail this week. I know it’s quite a jaunt to your mailbox 📬 but fun to find some happy mail!
We have a shop in Fairbanks called Yarn Over! Its tiny but wonderful. I love your halibut sweater. Its on my to do list.
👋🏼👍🏼
I love how creativity is woven through all of your intentions. As you were describing the dolls, I thought I'd be team creepy, but your photographs were so full of depth and feeling, I'm team awesome for sure! Love your intentions, and all your knits ❤ that bright green is stunning on you!
Thank you Corinne! Haha lots of room on Team Awesome.
Thank you for such a wonderful episode. I love your 2024 intensions. This year I am knitting closely with a dear friend who has had some health issues. I see how knitting helps her and brings us close together. We are planning 2 wooly weekends away during the year that will be focused on fibre festivals. We will do our own KAL and pick the yarn together for the project at the festival. We will spend the weekend knitting, relaxing and enjoying each others’ company. 💕
Absolutely perfect 👍🏼 👌🏼!!
