_______________________________________________________________
Show and Tell knitting podcast focuses on vintage (and vintage-inspired) hand knit garments, how to make them and how to accessorize them. Your host, Billie ("billietoy"), uses costume jewelry, hats, handbags, gloves and scarves to style each sweater.
Some episodes include guest knitters from around the world who will showcase their personal collections. Each will share selections from their portfolio of retro garments, from cardigan sweaters to jumpers / pullovers to coats and jackets.
Whether you have a passion for vintage 1940s style, or want to follow me on my knitting (and travel) escapades, each episode will bring a new adventure. You're likely to see patterns or yarns that will inspire you, particularly if you love vintage fashion.
I adore the bed jacket! Fabulous!
Thank you, thank you.
Stunning and flattering bed jacket👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much. Flattering is good.
The gloves are excellent!!!!
Thank you, Nancy.
Gosh it looks beautiful with the ribbon!
Thanks for letting me know!
Billie, nice finished projects including the top you're wearing!😊
I am delighted to know you like them. Thanks. A long time comin'.
The colourmart yarn seems so thin because of the machine oils. Once you wash all the oils out it will plump up properly. It does need to be washed thoroughly, might take a few washes even.
Your finished projects and WIPs are all lovely 😊
I recommend calculating yardage per 100g from the nm weight in order to get a good understanding of how the yarn compares to store bought yarn. What colourmart calls 'lace' is quite a bit finer than normal hand knitting lace since it is used for machine knitting. Heavy lace weight is probably similar to a hand knitting lace weight, but will seem finer while unwashed.
Thank you, Petra. I washed my swatch. It's only slightly softer than the unknit yarn. Maybe it will get even softer/plumper.
@@ShowandTellknitting I think so. I found all my colourmart yarn to have a 'ropy' quality when knitting but improved with washing.
@@petramanos Ropy! Hmm...Mine are way too thin to fall into the rope category.
@@ShowandTellknitting in the colourmart group on Ravelry I've read that some particularly dedicated knitters like to pre-wash their colourmart yarn before knitting, perhaps even more than once, because it increases their joy of using the yarn. Personally it wasn't something that bothered me, but it sounds like an interesting thing to do.
