    Jennifer, you are delightful to watch! I love your style and humor. I always take travel knitting and it has to be easy enough and portable. I really enjoyed your travel outfits video. I don’t know how all that would fit in a carry on. I would love to see what type of carry on you have and your best method for packing. Have a wonderful relaxing vacation and thank you for teaching, too!

      Thank you very much! It is fairly surprising that everything fits in a carry-on bag. I pack a small suitcase, carry-on size, and a backpack. It’s a tight squeeze but does the trick!

    Omg! My husband thinks I’m nuts when I start packing my knitting. This video was sooo affirming for me! I’m not the only one who travel knits--which I knew. Have a great trip!!

      Yes, I can’t imagine myself on an airplane without knitting 😊

      Of course! Travel knitting is my jam! A lot of prepping goes into making knitting an awesome experience while travelling. ❤️

      Same! Or any commuting where I'm not driving!

    Love the Wild Posey Flora made it in red unspun a few years ago. Wear it often. You will love it.

      A Wild Posy in red would be incredible! I’m really enjoying the knitting experience and know I will equally love wearing it!

    That slip stich pattern on the socks is lovely. I think I might want to try something similar. Also, fun colours. Enjoy your travels!

    • @pairswellwithknitting
      @pairswellwithknitting  7 місяців тому +1

      Try it!!! It’s such a simple stitch pattern, but gives a little something more than simply stockinette socks. Happy knitting!!!

    Love your ranunculus! I may have to copy! I think the the Tekla top would look really cute with a skirt and a denim jacket. I can’t wait to see it finished! Enjoy your time!

    • @pairswellwithknitting
      @pairswellwithknitting  7 місяців тому

      Thank you! I love your styling idea. I’m just not sure how brave I’ll be wearing it in public. We shall see!

    Our last trip to Mexico included 2 large wips and socks for knitting on the plane…all completed except blocking. Whew! But so worth it. Another great episode!

    Enjoy Mexico! I just got back from a week in Cancun and worked on a tolsta tee while away. Love a fun cotton knit while enjoying beach and sun.

    • @pairswellwithknitting

      Oh, me too! So fun! I love that my beach knitting smells of suncream and sunshine!

    Thanks, Jennifer. I really enjoy watching your podcast. Knitting and travelling is a fabulous kombination. Very curious about the place you are visiting and will visit in Mexico.

    • @pairswellwithknitting

    Twinsies! I'm currently blocking my Wild Posey -flora that I knit in Lettlopi but the same color as yours so it looks identical. So excited to wear it!
    Oh, and I'm a Jennifer too. ☺️

    • @pairswellwithknitting
      @pairswellwithknitting  7 місяців тому +1

      We are twins!!!! I’m loving this colourway for the pattern. The texture stitches are popping. I hope you enjoy wearing your Wild Posy. Thanks, Jennifer!!!

    Great episode, as always! I just arrived in Vero Beach, Fla. and can relate to the amount of time spent prepping the YARN I brought. 😊 enjoy your time in Mexico!

    • @pairswellwithknitting
      @pairswellwithknitting  7 місяців тому +1

      Ha!!! At least we’re both prepared and that our knitting will not run out while away. Enjoy!!!

    I use a journal for tracking knitted garments also. Have evolved to a small loose-leaf binder with 3.5” x 6.75” pages. Once finished, I can remove the pages, file & attach to the pattern to use for reference should I knit a pattern more than once. I use pencil so I can change any notes easily. For top down sleeves, I track every row and use these row count and decrease notes for the 2nd sleeve. Took several classes on Knit Companion app but found that I had to carry my iPad with me (fully charged) and tracking/ altering my knitting notes wasn’t nearly as convenient as paper. Being Canadian from Ontario, would appreciate mention of your mm needle sizes, if convenient for you. Thanks for taking the time to share your Knitting projects and travels. Just found your podcast and love it!

      I'm so happy that we've found one another! Thank you for sharing how you record your knitting. I can understand the challenges of tracking online, as I go to virtual first for mostly everything else, but for knitting it's not always the most convenient way. I also like attaching the ball bands to my notes. Yes, I have to remember to share needle sizes in mm diameters. The US sizes are at the front of my brain for some reason. I'll bring back my cheatsheet with both sizes!

    Hi Jennifer! I so enjoy all of your podcasts and your beautiful knits! I love all the color! I was just wondering if you remember the color of KFO mohair that you paired with your Ranunculous? Ballerina pink or Poppy Rose? Thanks so much and safe travels!

    • @pairswellwithknitting
      @pairswellwithknitting  7 місяців тому

      Thank you very much! Yes, Ballerina Pink! It’s such a gorgeous colourway.

    Making me want to cast something on with that Plotulopi!! 😍. And your Ranunculus! Gorgeous! Curious, do you remember what needle size you got gauge with on that yarn combo? Bon voyage! 🥂

    • @pairswellwithknitting
      @pairswellwithknitting  7 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! I do love working with unspun yarn. The needle size I used for my blush Ranunculus was an US 8. Please note that I’ve added a little extra texture work at the bottom of the yoke.

    • @ibriggie

      @@pairswellwithknitting super! Gives me a “swatching-off” point! ;). Been searching for a yarn combo for a second Ranunculus! 😍
