You make me laugh 😂 "I am really going to try and do less test knits" .... a few weeks later "So I am starting another test knit" 😂
I have problems 😂
i fully relate to having too many podcasts to catch up on; i was in residential treatment for my mental health for a month and came back to an overwhelming amount of content! i just skipped to the most recent podcasts because i didn't have the patience to go back and watch everything lol.
First, I hope everything is okay regarding your family emergency.
Thank you for this episode, I have been on the fence for quite awhile with the Noro yarn, please keep us up to date with what you think.
The Sailor collar cardigan turned out so nice. I have not been brave enough to try a pieced garment, even though everyone tells me they have the best fit.
Take care.😁
They are nice! I like knitting in smaller pieces
That sweater is absolutely beautiful! You are so talented!
Thank you so much! No talent. Just lots of knitting
That shawl is fabulous! Who would have guessed how great that looks together--not me.
Thanks!
I almost always go down a size for sewing patterns. If you don't want to just wing it and go down, you could always measure the pattern pieces at the waist, hip, bust, etc and see how much extra ease there is going to be to decide which size you are going to do. I feel like pattern makes assume we aren't capable of correctly measuring ourselves and add extra ease so that we have the option to take things in (can always take out fabric, but not add it)
I think you made the right choice of colors for your Max Cyr test knit! Love the brown with the Spincycle ❤
Those mattress stitch pulls on your cardigan were so satisfying. 😍 I'm excited about your Heirloom Quilt Cardigan. 🧶 I hope all is well with your family. 💜
I love the cardigan plan! I've knit the Champagne Cardigan, but I added a couple of steek stitches in the center and knit it in the round and then steeked it before I knit the doubleknit button band. It was so much faster for me! Just thought I throw that thought your way while you're planning. :)
Beautiful podcast, Kaci!!! ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️
Thank you
Another wonderful podcast! Thank you Kaci!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your color combos!!!!
Oh gosh, hope the family emergency turned out ok! And hope your sweet plant survived its tumble! Gorgeous sailor cardigan and shawl and plans and yarns…. Oh my. I could watch your podcasts for hours. You are so charming and funny and creative and real (the pant cutting… oh yes). Am looking forward to your yarn review!
That cardigan is gorgeous!
Watching your videos brings me joy. I sure hope all is well with you and your family.
Kaci, your knits and yarn choices are absolutely beautiful! I’m really excited to see you knit up projects using the Noro yarn ❤ 🧶
I love that shawl you are making! The spincycle looks like it’s glowing throughout 😍 I agree that the charcoal is a bit masculine. The green is very nice!
Thank you ❤
Lovely also your seaming is very superb. Great video.
I just made a champagne cardigan with a lavender noro Madera and I have been LIVING in it! I think that you will love it !
So excited for you to try Noro Madara and thank you for sharing my cardigan ❤.
I have used both Silk Garden and Madara and honestly prefer Madara more. Looking forward to your thoughts!
Absolutely loved knitting to that music and watching you ❤
Thank you ❤
I love the green in the shawl! Sometimes you just need to listen to your instincts.
Thanks!
I recently received a Beautiful Syster bag and I can attest to how beautiful it is. Vibrant color, simple lines, nice lining, lovely contrasting leather strap, clean look and roomy enough for a cowl project. Glad you have some for gifting/give aways! Good luck with the Madara yarn. It's beautiful.
Thanks!
Don't call it puckering! Call it "gathered". Lol It looks great!
I love your choice of thebrown color. It made me think of Sarah from "It is a Sarah" podcast who also has a great love for all yarns brown 😂
proof positive that you should always go with your gut!! The yak/cycle shawl is soooo soooo good!!
Thank you!
I’m also test knitting Max’s new shawl. Finished my yesterday and it is blocked and drying. Adore your colors!!! Another fabulous podcast. Thanks!
Awesome!!!
oh cool, I want to try that Noro yarn now !
I’ll let yall know how it knits uo
Love Noro Madara!
I’m excited to use it! ❤
I hope that all is well with your family! . Your yarn and button choices for the sailor sweater are just beautiful, I love the low contrast colors and they work so well together. A trick I use on occasion when I think that an arm seam or a pick-up row looks messy is to just use a tapestry needle and yarn to sew a simple chain stitch over it, and this looks really pretty! I am currently knitting on a long sleeved Ranunculus using a cone of the Woolyknit 100% Merino 4ply in that same colorway that you have, and it is lovely soft yarn. Happy Holidays!
That’s a great tip
I just love everything about your channel! I love your taste in music too.
The Arkansas countryside sounds so romantic to me. I am quite far from being able to visit the US, but it is a dream of mine!
Thank you so much!
I made a Felix cardigan with Noro Madara and really like how it turned out. The colors sold me (I used the Mizo colorway), and it is so soft.
That’s sounds lovely ❤
Velvet also has a nap. I made my daughter a dress for Christmas and turned the back yoke pieces the wrong way. I I got the zipper in before I realized it. Thankfully. It had a bolero jacket that covered my mistake 😂
I preferred the brown colour with the Ghost Ranch even before I saw the swatch. Absolutely the right choice. Go with your gut!
Thanks!
I really need a bathtub to block my garments but I only have buckets 😂 your sweater came out so beautiful 🩷
Kaci, hope all is OK with you and your family. Sending lots of love. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
crazy sock lady, knitty natty, made by maddie, engineering knits, tiger lily designs, a lovely yarn
Your cardigan looks great! I have a boucle i bought at rhinebeck i might knit this up in.
I am anxious to see how your shoulders react to the steam blocking... i wonder if you shouldn't have a second go at sewing them on.
Please follow up with us in the next video about how they respond to the steaming!
I probably should try sewing them on again I’m just lazy. I needed to sit aside for a while. Over all I am happy with it and will wear it as is ❤
“Posh” ❤❤❤
Great word 😂
I doubt I would have chosen the officer color but it looks excellent!!
Thanks!
Once, in my (much) younger days, I unintentionally knocked a beer glass of a table in a bar with my knee length braided hair. I feel your pain, but your hair is beautiful!
Oh wow! I haven’t done that yet 🤣
I HATE the idea making muslins. Not because it is not important but because I don’t have a lot of time. I end up making “muslins” in less precious fabrics and then I can make the important adjustments before using my special, more expensive fabrics. The result is (ideally) two garments that I like and wear 😅 But we’ll see. That is what I am going to do with my first Hinterland after Christmas making is done.
hi Kaci! I love your channel. I can tell you spend lots of time editing because your videos are always such high quality!!! I'm not sensitive to mohair but I don't particularly like knitting with it. I notice a lot of patterns have you hold one strand of mohair with a strand of fingering to get a DK gauge. How do you work around this? I've thought of just using a DK held single but I'm worried about not being able to make the gauge. I hope all is well! sending love from FL ❤
Yes I prefer a single strand of mohair! Or a laceweight wool held with a laceweight suri
Hello from Mounds, Illinois.
Hello!
LisaR : I think you may have invented a fashion trend - if it in more noticeable noticeable fabric - do a pair of pants or skirt with gores ( several panels ) each going opposite direction ! Bet that would be really fun ❤
😂😂😂
So funny, I just recently got a sweater quantity of Madara in the color Yen to make a Natures Cardigan! Like, seriously last week. Someone said that it is sort of fragile and can break while you’re winding it, so go slow
So far so good!
I love the colors you chose for the Max the Knitter shawl. Charcoal is the predictable choice. I think the brown is edgy and more modern.
Question: how did you get on the test knit list for Andrea Mowry?
Thanks! ❤ and I don’t know! That’s a good question 😂
❤❤❤
❤
I like the shorter videos too.
Good deal
Hope everything is okay with your family. ❤️
Thanks! Hopefully soon
How do you enter the press flowers KAL? Is it just a tag on Instagram or is there someplace else I should look also? Thank you.
Yes! Just use the hashtag on instagram!
🌞🌻🐝
❤❤❤❤❤
Kaci, hello. Can you please suggest some online sources where you purchased your buttons? I am knitting this cardigan and cannot find suitable buttons. Thank you.
Yes! I purchase from Etsy a lot! I just search buttons. Same for Amazon haha. I also bought these from WAWAK sewing and textile garden.
🌴☀️QUICK QUESTION. WHO🧐told you the videos are long??? Girl bye, frankly I think they could be longer but I’m a lover of this channel soooo
Please ask someone else bec your videos aren’t long 🙄 love ya in spirit & thanks for this weeks video…💐I’ve missed ya☀️🌴
Noted! 🤣
Noro yarn is so nice, but wayyyy out of my price range. Should look lovely made up though. Hope you all get over your sickness soon
Thanks! I’m hoping things get better soon
As far a I know sake is pronounced sah-keh :) (i recently went on a trip to japan) but if everyone knows what you're talking about who cares 😂
😂😂😂 yes I think you’re right. We just always say sock-key
🌴☀️QUESTION: Where can I purchase some of your honey?☀️🌴
Your pronunciation is correct, it is pronounced "sock ee" not "sock a", check online, and we here in SC pronounce it the same way you do!! Just sayin? :)
Same here in coastal NC.
The Japanese pronunciation is sake (rhymes with hay for horses). The vowel 5 sounds in Japanese never change! But the American pronunciation is definitely saki (like Key on a keychain)!
I think either is ok. People will know what we are talking about
On top of taking a lot of time, muslins take a lot of material. Unpopular opinion: It seems wasteful! If anyone has any good ideas for what they do with their muslins I’m all ears! I typically use top sheets from sheet sets (we’re not a top sheet family) to make the muslins, but I always feel guilty cutting into something that maybe someone could use.
I work at a yarn store - Cashmere Goat in Camden Maine -Madara is for sure plumper than Silk Garden. More of an Aran as you said earlier. @cashmeregoatyarn5892
