Your podcast makes me long for country living 😊 such a lovely lifestyle
I have used seed stitch on the bottom of garter stitch items, it looks so pretty ! And I dip my cables in simmering water and quickly straighten the cable as you run it under cold water.
I really want to sew myself some clothes after watching your podcast!
Enjoy your creative videos! I love my Lantern Moon needles.
Hello from Dalkey Ireland. That icy blue Soho Top looks great on you ❤️
Now we need sew a long! 😂 pure linen envy have great linen to!
Haha good idea!
Kaci, your linen fabrics look lovely; it is a great fabric to work with. I have been 'absorbing' fabric into my house in the last two years so, of course, my sewing machine stopped working last week (sigh) ordered a cheap machine so I can finish a few projects. Your soho top has a nice neckline and looks good on you!
Thank you! Hope you like your new machine!
Thoroughly enjoy your cgannel. Hope its not too late to sign up for the giveaway on Instagram. And...Thanks for the resources for printing patterns!
Love these videos! That bag would be perfect!
Really loving the editing! Cheers me up while knitting single strand mohair project.
Thank you! 😊
That shade of blue looks INCREDIBLE on you 😍
Oh thank you! I love that shade ❤❤❤
Never miss your videos, my favorites. I find so many ideas and resources. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!😊
Thank you so much!!!
You’re always my cuppa tea.
😘
I would love to see a podcast about knitting needles! I, too have been getting a closer fabric over the last few years. I have to go down 2 to 3 sizes to get close to the gauge now and often I'm knitting with size 0 or 1. I have a large collection of needles from a lifetime of knitting and I am totally in love with chiaogoo needles so rarely use any of my other brands. Love your podcasts!
Thanks for sharing! I love my chiaogoo as well
Looking forward toeing your needle comparison show. I like Chigoo needles also. Keep entertaining us and giving knitting ideas.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for another wonderful video Kaci! I have been wanting to get into sewing for a little while now and the more you share your sewing journey, the more inspired I become to dive into that craft! I also absolutely adore your soho top and air tee! Both are on my to-knit list. Have a wonderful week!
You can do it!
Love seeing you share about your sewing!
I'm so glad! Thanks!
Loved your video❤
Thank you so much!
I really love your choices of linen. It makes me sad that I don’t know how to sew! 🤣🥰
I really don’t enjoy sewing 😂 but I do love the end product
Love fully printed patterns-so much easier for me. For the needles; I use chiaogoo 90% of the time, but if I need a wooden needle, I love the lykke driftwood needles-but I use the knitters pride cords with them because I tried it based on someone else’s recommendation and they fit great! I find lykke cords always seem to kink/bend in the wrong place or come loose from the ends. The tips are very nice to use though! ❤
LisaR: As always ,I just have to stop to see what you're up to ! It's always something that leaves me feeling energized with more creative spirit , new things to consider and glad I stopped by!
Thank you so much!!
I absolutely love your podcast! Thanks!
Yay, thank you!
Good morning Kaci! Enjoyed crocheting with you before work this morning. xo
I have just ordered the Hinterland dress pattern. There are so many options to pick from. Guess I may have half a wardrobe full. Thank you for a brilliant video.
Thank you! And I hope you love your hinterland!
Your fabric is all gorgeous. Even though I’m not much of a sewer, I can’t wait to see what all your clothes look like. ❤
Thank you so much
Regarding going down
Needle sizes I can recommend checking out Patty Lions new book. Patty Lyons Knitting Bag of tricks. She talks about gauge and not going down needle sizes. If you like the fabric she shows you how to adjust the pattern. It’s a great book. I struggle with getting garage so this was really helpful for me. I live linen too. Can’t wait to see all those pieces made up. Great podcast.
Thank you!
I’m finally catching up on FiberTube and am so excited to see your sewing projects as they evolve. I still have newbie syndrome when it comes to fabric materials and yardage requirements and which direction to cut etc etc. I’ve wanted to sew the estuary skirt but the button holes are intimidating AF ❤❤❤
I love Chiagoo needles too!
I would love to see brief, status updates on your garden as well as your fiber arts. I raise bees and poultry, and have a pretty big garden myself, but our season in Vermont runs very short, and I would love to live vicariously through you. 😊
Yes! I need record more outside
Your June Top looks amazing! 👏🏾The color is so pretty and complimentary. 💜
❤❤❤
I looooooooove your tank! We get ours printed at the ups store beside the shop they print it on their blueprint printer and its ready in a few minutes! Also i loved your grannys from last epi!!!❤
Where is that on their website? We have a ups store! I need to message you
Greetings from Memphis, Tennessee!
❤❤❤
Hello kaci. I always love your introductions . I just got my first 10 frame deep bee hive. I’m so excited. Can you talk about your bees? Thanks Julie
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Hello!
I just finished the identical Soho! Even the same yarn! Love the incredible drape and it's so light and cool to wear, kinda gives me chainmail vibes too, which we'll say is a bonus😄
I hope you love it! I know I love mine!
Kaci your knits are so pretty. The soho top is one pattern I just purchased and hoping to make this summer. I also love the chiaogoo needles. Personally I think you should stick with the metal needles because you sound like it’s your comfort zone, but, that being said if the wooden needles work out and they don’t drive you crazy because they’ll slow ya down lol then use those. Another beautiful video. Ty 🤗🧶🌸🌸
Thank you!
Having sewing patterns printed is such a game changer! I’m lucky that my husband can print mine on a large scale printer. I send him a pdf file and at the end of the workday I have my pattern ready to be cut. 😊
That’s awesome!!!
My favorite part is being able to chose the lines for just the size(s) that I want in the pdf, and just printing those. Maybe it’s just me, but all those lines are overwhelming. 😂
Thank you for the tip on the silicone cords. I just switched to ChaioGoo Needles and needed cords to use for trying on. I’m eager to hear what you think of various needles. Is there a reason you use fixed instead of interchangeable? I can wait to hear your answer in your needle podcast.
Love the addition of sewing. I used to sew many of my clothes but never really learned to make woven fabrics fit. I, too, love to wear linen, but I hesitate to try sewing it as I don’t know that it will fit. I’d better learn some fitting techniques. I can’t wait to see all your linen garments.
Thanks so much!!
Kaci, I had no idea Blackbird offered PDF printing too. It's currently down, but I'll definitely check it again soon. :D I've been seeing that Soho top all over now. It has such a nice drape in the yarn you chose.
They do?! Oh no I just ordered a pattern from them last week. Sorry!!
Kaci you are one busy girl! How do you get it all done and raise two children! I knit and have begun spinning, a real newbie. I used to sew all my children’s clothes and some of my own. Would love to get back into it, part of what has stopped me is the lack of wonderful fabric stores! I would love to hear about your sewing machine, what you like and don’t like. I have one that is about 20 years old and considering a new one. The digital ones look amazing and don’t seem too expensive. Thanks for your podcasts and video, love them!!
Will do!!
Hello from St.Louis Missouri!
Hello!
Hi Kaci! One thing I heard about our gauges getting looser over time….
It’s because as we gain experience knitting, and get faster and faster, we forget to push the stitches TO BE knit to the end of the needle, where it’s narrower, and we grab them off the body of the needle, where it’s full width. That stretches the stitches even more. So basically the actual size/gauge of the needle is what you’re stretching the stitch to. Whereas knitting off the body of the needle means that they’re already stretched and we’re making them even bigger.
Does my rambly explanation make sense? 😂😂
Definitely makes sense! I recorded a video recently for someone who wanted to see how I tension my yarn and I tend to work on the ends of my needles so I don’t think that’s my issue most of the time. I think it’s the way I hold my yarn with practically no tension. I need to work on it. Or go down needle size 😂
I feel exactly the same about crochet - I’m excited to see if you get going with something!
As for reading, I just finished Hellbent by Leigh Bardugo - second in the series but so good. Urban fantasy-ish set at Yale if that’s your kind of thing 😊
😄 Now I want to sew again ... also all of a sudden I have this strong urge to get some fibers for my e-spinner ... ☺
😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing the hollow tube cord - the other items not in bulk are so over priced.
I would suggest the Knit Pro Ginger wooden knitting needles. They are so close to the speed of metal for me. I believe you would enjoy them.
I do love knit pro
Hi! If you like Chiaogoo cables you should try Chiaogoo bamboo needles, I love them. I also like Lykke needles, but with the new KnitPro mindful cables.
Thanks!
I have the same problem with needle size, I knit so many things on 1s or 0s that call for 4 or 5. My poor larger needles never get used
So true
Woo garment PDF printing was the worst for me. I now will print only handbag and accessories via PDF
I feel like the Arkansas humidity being all over the place prevents me from being able to use wooden needles because it will change my gauge just by raining. I am stuck in metal needle jail but not offended.
Hmmmm 🤔 I hadn’t thought of that but it must be that fact that I keep my AC running hot because I haven’t had trouble with it yet
Do you have a link to the button up sewing pattern you made with one of your linens? Thanks!
I’m not sure how to enter that contest but I’d love to win that bag. It’s gorgeous!
It’s on instagram! Find my post and enter there!
What kind of silicone tubing did you get from Amazon I did not see a link
Sorry I just added the link to Amazon!
