Here is where you can get the pattern for the shawl I'm making with the yarn.
What a great website for patterns! I love Jackie, she is a beautiful designer!
"Triangles within Triangles" Shawl
HeartStrings knitting pattern #A63

The yarn I'm winding is from Joslyn's Fiber Farm. I was wrong about how big it was, it is an 8 oz. hank containing 1700 yards and is considered a lace-weight yarn by them. It is called "Angel Hair" and the color is Claret.

I belong to their Shawl Club (and have for several years) and receive a new shawl pattern and the yarn to make it every three months. I haven't knit all the ones I've received, but I'm working on it! LOL
I can see why you love that pattern - it's gorgeous. And it will look stunning in that colorway. It would also make a pretty pillow top for the sofa or bed if you like decorate like that. Or a gorgeous throw. I'd never use a shawl myself, but a throw for chilly evenings? Oh yeah baby. Gotta tell you, these vids are fun!
you make this look so easy! I am a knitter. Nice to meet you!
Loving this lady she is so real n I luv someone who is open n nice n very friendly
Hi there!! I love your videos!! I was just watching pt1 and hello to your kitty too (and doggy)!! I was recently at a higher end yarn store in my city. I fell in LOVE with the centre pull yarn. They let me use their swift and winder when I buy from them, but I REALLY want a set of my own!!!.... X-mas is coming!!! LOL - anyways, thanks for the tips, you make me smile, you seem like a sweet and cool lady...take care
That shawl is beautiful. I mean Wow!
You KNOW you want to knit, Judy. Look into my eyes, you're feeling knitty, knitty...knitty....LOL
Just grab your yarn and make some swatches and practice knitting continental until your stitches even out. I won't say it's easy, I have failed at learning english style many times. But I keep trying because it would make two color stranding knitting so much easier! Practice, practice, practice!
i have given them all away. ill be sure to show one the next time i make one.
i need to make a good will run and get more socks before i can make one.
i got some a few weeks ago to make one but i decided to keep them. they were too cute :)
xoexo
When I first started trying to teach myself to knit I was knitting so tense that it was nothing but frustration. Then I saw a video online about 6 years ago of a woman knitting Continental style and that was what I was waiting for. It's as easy as breathing to me now. But I still don't finish the %@#* sweaters! LOL
Your video is just perfect... very clear and straight to the point... I love You :-)
I wind yarn by hand. I don't have a swift or a ball winder, though now that I've seen you use this swift, I think I want to get a swift and ball winder.
I never learned to Knit. I can only crochet.
I have tried to teach my self but never got to far with knitting and went back to crocheting.
I would love to see one of your argyle sock monkeys, Eden, have you ever shown one in one of your vids? How cool! I make sock monkeys, but with the classic red heel socks. I have a pattern to make red heel socks with wool yarn. I've often thought I would knit the socks, and then cut them up to make a sock monkey. But that always seemed the ultimate waste in time. Wouldn't it just be better to knit the monkey? *shrug" I guess I need a pattern, or to make on on my own. Someday! LOL
its been years since ive knitted and i was never very good at it then lol.. oh i tried but i kept on dropping stitches and in the end frustration won the day and i gave up ..oh well.. maybe one day i'll knit a sweater and go yay look what i made hahaha we'll have to wait and see..
ur cool!!! i like your knitting tips!!!
Cool video! love it
Hi Jacob, I think the cheapest I ever found was $30. That's for the metal and plastic one I'm using in the vid. The site discountyarnsale(dot) com has one for $30. The show using it on the side which is the other way you can use it. They last a LONG time so it's a good investment. I have two, blue and orange. I got the blue one at a tag sale for $10, so that's another option. The wooden one's can get real pricey. My husband always says he's going to make me one...sha right! ;-) Knit on!!!!!
Do you have to have a swift in order to use the winder?
Thanks for nice video ,do you know any power driven machine for bulk production, if yes please let me know, God bless you and your family.Take care
why are swifts so expensive the cheapest i have found is $40 do you know anywhere i can find one for around $20
Oh yeah been in "yarn shops" where the people were extremely snobbish. They're both out of business now...hmmm wonder why...lol!
