MENTIONS:
Love the green sweater Leanne, you are a beautiful knitter. I so appreciate the bits of info on the cities you visit.
Thank you so much!
Omg!! I’m hysterically laughing at your comparison to the sponge towel guy! 😂😂😂😂😂
That makes me smile! Laughter is the best. The similarity between me and the Sponge Towel guy.. it’s something you can’t “unsee” 😂
Hello from “Ridge” . Enjoying your videos!
Hello there! 👋🏼
OMG I can’t stop laughing 😂 and you explain how you made the Snood of Sponge Towels. God bless you Leanne. You always give me a giggle! ❤😂
Aw yay!! Laughter truly is the BEST medicine… the Balaclava has been frogged and shall become a new creation
I love all your projects and particularly rejoiced with you on your Fletching - that colourwork! - and laughed along with you about your balaclava lookalike - so cute. So much to enjoy in your podcast, as always, thank you! I'm busy looking up wool for a Lottie.... Good luck with your schedule!
Thank you so much. I’m so happy you’re here Cat!!
Another lovely visit with you and that sweater 💚💚 The balaclava / spongetowel connection made me have a good case of the giggles.
Safe travels ❤
I can hear your laugh in my mind! Aw thanks Nancy. Giggles are good for the soul.
Trendy or what knot is my LYS! So happy you made it there. Mady is so great❤
Hi Crystal! I will be back there again for sure - what a lovely shop!
For the past few months, I have been looking everywhere for Ito Kosho in the green. It is sold out in every online shop I checked in North America as well as Europe. But as you showed the yarn display in Trendy or Whatnot there it was!! I couldn’t believe it! I immediately went online and bought what was left. I have been obsessed with wanting to make the Garden Cardigan by Ankestrick in the original yarn used for the pattern and in that amazing green color. So thank you so much! You truly brought that yarn right to me with your podcast!! I am also on a mission to make more cardigans - I’ve named this the ‘ year of the cardigans’. Thank you so much for this yarny miracle and for your all your inspiration. Your podcast is a favourite.
That is SO GREAT to hear! Like a hidden treasure of Kosho!!
The sponge towel!!! 😂😂👏🏼
🤣 👍🏼
😍😍😍 Your Fletching is just soooo good Leanne!! And I adore your Treysta. I attempted to make a Treysta steeked cardigan a few years ago but sadly it ended up too small so it went off to a good home. It was nearly the same colours as yours (great minds 🤗). Your niece's cardigan is darling. Kids knits are so quick and fun. You are a better spouse than I as I love John, but there's no way in heck I'd knit him anything in pure black 🤣 Glad Dave chose a different yarn--it's knitting up beautifully. I've been meaning to make myself a Musselburgh hat as well. Thanks for the inspiration as always 🤗💕
Hi Nikki, thanks for for hanging out with me!! I think we definitely have VERY similar colour tastes in Lopi!! I love the sweater you just finished for your partner!
Tresta is beautiful! Love the colors!
Thank you so much!
That green! Definitely your color
Thank you! 💚💚 I love it!
Oh what a lovely Store, I wish we had Yarn Stores like this nearby. I love your Sweater it is awesome and thanks for showing us Mission
My pleasure!
So good to see you again! Your pullover is a stunner, well done! And no, you do not look like a horse, though you have a lovely mane of hair! 😄 Thank you for another thoroughly delightful episode. 😊💐
Aw thank you! 🐎
Wow! Your tartan cowl is gorgeous!
Thank you, Kathy!!!
The fletching is absolutely gorgeous and looks great on you! You’re giving preppy vibes with the bright green and pink colors…love! Thanks for a fun podcast. ❤
Oh thank you! Was a headbanger growing up, and now living my Preppy life!
Hi Leanne! I"m a bit behind in my watching....I LOVE that sweater! That green is everything!
Hiii 👋🏼 💚💚🤍🤍 Completely loving this green too… and my experience with Rauma was a magic combo
Ravelry cart is always chock ‘o block full but after seeing your Fletchling sweater, that pattern’s now awaiting my purchase 😆. Love your travel/knitting podcasts. Thank you for taking us along!
Wonderful! Aw my mother in law uses that term: chock o block 🥹
What a deeelight to spend time with you!! Your fletching is so incredibly fun!! You are making me want to run out and get a SQ of the Rauma!! And your treysta is truly beautiful!!
Thanks Selma! The Rauma and I have definitely bonded 😆
Fabulous new sweater. It looks fantastic on you!
Oh thank you!
Your sweater is beautiful and looks great on you!
Oh thank you Sara!
Your fletching turned out great ❤ and the balaclava looked so cute yet funny. I think i do want to cast one the cowl turned out very beautiful
Thank you 😊!!
I love the whispy colorwork on the fletching sweater, and the green is very complimentary for you. I have not tried brioche yet, but really like the satellite shawl.
Thank you! Hopefully we both jump into the world of brioche this year.
Love love the Fletching. Nice fit on you and lovely knit. I adore the Balaclava. I think it is a simple fix ( the head piece/ neck piece looks like good sizing. )I made these for our soldiers during Iraq war. So in the pattern the stitches you pick up around the face I would scale back on. As well…. Take the face in 4 quadrants… 2 left /right of eyebrows… 2 left /right of chin…. Knit 2 together on every other row… Just for these 4 areas. think what Iam trying to convey … it tightens / gathers up nicely around your face vs. gapping. Just an idea. Your knitting is so so good… I would never attempt to teach… or EVER criticize. ( I hope I have not… just an idea I was wanting to pass along. )…. Have a great day. Love your podcasts… I look to see you next time. ❤️
Hi Cindy! I was determined to frog this balaclava to use the yarn again, but I think you are absolutely right about how to make it look better, and the step by step instructions how to pick up and make it tighter around the face are awesome! That is so incredible. How many do you think you made for the soldiers?!
I follow several vloggers from around the world; Knitty Natty, The Cornish Knitter, The Albanach Knitter, but so nice to be watch some Canadian content. And great that you are showing others our Canadian cities.
Maybe next time you’re in Fort St John area you can visit Faking Sanity in Dawson Creek. They have books, tea and yarn. A perfect trifecta I think. About 5 hours south from me, the closest thing I have to a LYS.
Your finished and unfinished items are lovely! Thank you for sharing your work. Kudo's for showing an object you'll not wear and saying you'll unravel it. OM Goodness. It's like closing a book you're not enjoying. Last episode you talked about TheGither Cowl so I watched Amy's podcast and looked at the colours for the Scottish Wool Festival. My Gither would be based on the Wallace Tartan. After 2024, when I try to use up as much of my wool as possible, I will make thegither cowl. A great podcast, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Thank you Jacqueline 😸Your Thegither will be beautiful. I haven’t seen one yet that isn’t!
Great show. Trendy or What Knot is my local yarn shop. We are lucky to have Mady. Your knits are lovely, even the balaclava (I would keep it). 😃 I look forward to more episodes. Thank you.
Thank you Julie! I’ll be back to Mission for suuure.
You made me laugh so much this morning with you hat
🤣 😆 Laughter is the best! I’m so glad.
Ooh your Fletching is gorgeous and just screams Spring! Your Tryesta looks super cosy and I love the colour combos you've used. Had to giggle at your balaclava. I recently made a hat for my husband and my gauge was so off it ended up way too big and floppy 😂 it's a good job we can laugh at ourselves 😊
Gotta laugh hey!! 😆
The darker section of your tartan cowl would be considered the 'working or field' tartan. The everyday tartan that Scots would wear while doing their daily chores. It was typically a drab version of their dress tartan. I told you before how much I love your Fletching sweater, its absolutely gorgeous! I love the colours you chose for your other colour work yoke sweater (forgot the name) and that cowl, stunning!
Thank you. Section 3 is my working/field tartan section!
Such a lovely store! I love your adventures, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I love your podcasts! I'm in North Bay, ON. I love that you have turned, what could be a lonely job (I live alone), into a great adventure! Your tours of different cities/towns are wonderful and educational. I will get to some of them. I love your green sweater (the proper name and designer are in my notes and there's a good chance I will make it). Thanks for taking us along!
Hi Kathy! Would love to visit beautiful North Bay one day!
👍I love my Rug sweater by Junko Okamoto so much that I am now making her Tanaka using Malabrigo Mecha Bulky superwash. Loving it. Knit on!
I enjoy your videos! You have such a warm, positive vibe.
Sorry to say you do look like a Sponge Towel mascot BUT you look gorgeous in your Fletchling sweater. ❤
100% Scott Towel Twin 👌🏼 This balaclava has been frogged.. provided me with lots of laughs
Thank you Leanne, I laughed so hard at you continuing to video while wearing your balaclava 😂 The yarn and work is beautiful, but I understand when gauge is off 😜
Thanks Janice!! Gotta laugh hey, the world can feel awfully serious these days 😂
Thank you for another episode, Leanne! You feel like such a friend to sit and knit with, even if I never met you! :) All the woollies are gorgeous as always (love both the bright Fletching and the moody Thegither cowl!), and your work life really sounds tough but rewarding at the same time...
"I need more cardigans in my life" - haha, don't we all?!! Lately, I've started to finally do something about this too, and I made a lovely Carbeth Cardigan by Kate Davies (probably my all-time favourite designer) and a heavily modified Akantus Cardigan by Skeindeer. Didn't modify the fit, though! If you ever need a moderately fitted "little cardi" with seamless(!) set-in sleeves that looks really put together, but will still be a cozy handmade item: I highly recommend both the Akantus and the Haust cardigan patterns by Skeindeer. They're steeked in various places and the construction may feel absolutely wild in the beginning, but the fit is just great and I reach for both of them every time I feel indecisive about what to wear.
Interesting observation with the metal needles gauge difference - I never knit on anything but metal, just upgraded from low quality aluminium needles to KnitPro Zings and HiyaHiyas and the occasional Chiaogoo a few years back. I've always been a tight knitter, but discovered my gauge gets even tighter if the tips are pointy. KnitPro Zing needles are a little on the blunt side and I get a 23st/10cm gauge on 3.75mm with them. Switch to Chiaogoo, and I suddenly get 24sts on 4.5mm! Will readily admit that I rarely do proper gauge swatches, partly because of this. I just play around with any new-to-me yarn in stockinette for a bit before starting a large garment to get a feel for the fabric.
Anyways, watching your episode has brought some much needed peace and positivity to my heart today. Knitting and travelling - two of my favourite things, it just never fails! I'm currently improvising tiny stuff - have knitted two funny little stuffed bunny rabbits after an old Arne&Carlos pattern to give to a friend's kids for Easter, and I'm figuring out something fun to dress them in (and use up scraps)!
At the same time, I'm working on a vintage jumper. Like, proper 1940s-pattern, comes-in-only-1-size, there's-only-one-pattern-photo-and-no-charts, good-luck-see-you-on-the-other-side vintage. It's got a bobbles&lace stitch pattern on it that looks a bit like upside-down fireworks bursting, and apparently it was pretty iconic back in the day. Keeping my fingers crossed it won't turn out awful, haha!
Hope you're doing well and your son is recovering quickly! Ouch...!
Thanks again, "see" you around!
Thank you for the Skeindeer recommendations! Straight in the favourites they go! I’m in awe of your bravery tackling the 1940s pattern ❤️🔥 Awesome! Thank you so much for watching and your message.
Thx for another great podcast Leanne! I always enjoy seeing other yarn/craft shops. Your Fletching is gorgeous and fits perfectly. I agree, adding additional short rows to your Jennifer Steingass will make it too bulky. I hope your April flying schedule is more to your liking.
Thank you so much Susan!
Fist time, really enjoyed your show. I'll will return. Good travels.
That is wonderful thank you!
Love your sweaters! Yes, you look like the Canadian paper towel guy in the balaclava 🤣🤣
RIGHT!? 100% Thank you !!
Another great episode Leanne!
Aw thanks Kathy! 🤗
I was nervous when you were trying on your Treysta. You've got good stoppers on your needles.
Your Treysta looks really great.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for another great episode. I love you finull sweater. 😊 Your balaklave ... yeah... after that pickture I understand you will be frogging it. 😂😂 You look like sunshine, as always. I hope your april work days will be better. Looking forward until you next episode. 😊
Thank you! 😃
Thanks so much for this episode. I really enjoy traveling via video with you in Canada! I also loved seeing your Fletching and the Treysna. Gorgeous! Love those greens and the heathery neutrals. Thanks for the heads up on possible trouble areas in the patterns. Loved knitting with you and hearing about your family adventures too. Stay well and fly safe!
Thank you for a wonderful podcast. Your Fletching is beautiful 😍 When you first showed that green yarn I thought it was way to bright but it looks stunning on you
Omy gosh your Fletching is simply amazing Leanne! totally going in my queue! And totally laughed at the sponge towel commercial! LOL Absolutely love your colours for the Treysta. It will be soso good! Thanks for sharing all the knitting inspo and hope you get to land in New Brunswick sometime! 🥰💖
Thanks Sophie! Oh friend me toooo!
Hallo Leanne, greetings from Germany! I love your podcast and all the places you take us with. Just rewatched the last episode for the cardigan content, as I too need more cardigans in my life. I just knitted the Gärdesgård Cardigan and my next one will be the Sera Cardigan by Manmi Choi in a summery yarn. The Cocktail Cardi you mentioned made it on my list, as it has it all - a contiguous shoulder and a button band that is knitted along with the body. Thanks for the suggestion! All the best and see you next time 🙋🏻♀️
Hallo 👋🏼 What beautiful cardigan patterns you’ve chosen! Added to favourites. Thank you for being here 🤍
Yep I only knit on wool year around. Love your fletching…..so nice!!!
I am glad I’m not alone in that!
Thank you once again Leanne. I need to get some Arcane Fibre Yarn some day. It is always spectacular. Your fletching is a thing of beauty. I am just finishing up my Brookline Blouse and I have bought the yarn to make Joji’s new cardigan the Milton. So I am excited for that. We are coming into our winter down here but it never gets as cold as it does for you guys.
Happy flying and see you next time🧡 Christine, Australia
Lovely projects on your needles and the Milton soon!!! Happy knitting down under Christine!!!
Leanne, thank you so much for allowing me to laugh along with you re: the cowl and reference -- I just ripped back half a sweater due to much larger gauge and realize I'm not the only one. I switched to metal needles years ago to "knit faster" but found out recently this accounts for some of my larger gauge too. Your spring green sweater is lovely! (Calgary)
Ah you get it! I do think the need for speed trumps gauge in my opinion, especially if we like the fabric we are creating!
Love your springy Fletching and that super cute kid’s cardi! This is the time when I gravitate to the bright colours. Winter isn’t quite finished with us as I’m watching your podcast here in Grande Prairie. ❄️ My scenery is brown and white, so bright green and pink are pretty welcome! I will be knitting motifs for blankets for Christmas this summer and I’ll sew them together after the heat has gone. I usually have a shawl, some socks, a sweater and a hat on the go and summer is no exception. I’m working with wool anytime. 😊 I will admit to sticking with socks in extreme heat though. I’m also working on my second Musselburgh! I’m using Crux Fibres BFL, which I love. Thanks for another lovely podcast! ❤
Spring certainly hasn’t sprung here in AB yet hey!? We are expecting up to 30 cm by Friday here in Calgary and area. Happy knitting to you in YQU! Hey, that rhymes 😀
Love your green and white Fletching sweater 💚. I’ve made the socks and really love this pattern!!Happy travels!!
Awesome! Thank you! I think I need to make the socks!
That My Fletching is spectacular!!!!
Hi, your sweater is so beautiful!! I wasn't sure of the color when you started but wow! It is amazing!
Thanks Jean. That spring green was a bold choice but I am glad I forged ahead!
Hi from Australia, you have such a calm voice and I love your podcast; I’m currently knitting The Poison Apple top for my daughter and the Suri Tee for myself 😍
Hi Susan, thanks for your kind words. I immediately added both of those patterns to my favourites - absolutely gorgeous!
I love your sweater! The colors are amazing!
Thank you!! 💚🤍
Another lovely podcast to enjoy. Thanks for sharing your traveling with us, especially local yarn shops! Cheers ❤️
The Garden Cardigan and the Ling V-Neck are also in my queue/favorites! Plan to cast on the cardigan soon so I have it for summer. Also Gerard Butler - hello!
We have the same taste in knits and men 😆
Thank you so much! Love your podcast, it has encouraged me to make my first visit to St Johns in June. I figure I will still need warm woolies then!
That is so exciting!! Oh St. John’s in June… heaven.
When I knit my Musselburgh hats, I always use two colors because it’s a reversible hat and you can pick and choose what color you want to wear and it looks really cool when you flip it up and you see that second color. So if you really wanted to, you could do half of your hat in black for your husband. I don’t like to knit with black yarn because it’s so hard to see but sometimes I just have to force myself.😮
THAT is genius!
Your Fletching is stunning and love the green. wishing you good fortune in both your April bids and fighting the parking ticket. Mission BC looks like a place one would want to live. It was lovely and bonus it had a really nice yarn shop so what more could I ask for. I'm currently working on the Varma by Sari Nordlund. living here in EC I find I knit with both wool and plant fibers all year. there's no AC where I live but I can usually find a breeze that helps when it gets a little too warm with the wool. Have a great few weeks.
Thanks Sharon! As far as lower mainland living goes, Mission would be a solid choice!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm!
I’m working on a hat for myself in the same kind of Barbie pink. I often wear sunnies outside so no problem there. 😎
But that little Lottie “gardigan” - I Need one and I’m an old lady.
I want an adult Lottie Cardigan too!!
Thanks, Leanne! So gorgeous to see you back! Beautiful projects, all of them. I’m all over cardigans these days too, effects of the spring being all around! I wish I could knit wool in the warmer months but it does get sticky hot to do so. Thinking of a plant based fiber for a summery Joji Locatelli’s Elton. Take care 🪁✨💖
A summer Elton would be perfect 😍
I’m almost finished working on my Garden Cardigan, just a little ribbing left. It’s a great pattern, very well written and the pattern is easy.
Wonderful! I can’t wait!
II love love your fletching sweater. The color is to dye for. Lol. I stopped watching to comment on your balaclava. I am up late, by myself, crocheting on a baby blanket and jjust laughing my head off at the pictures of the paper towel people and you. So funny that you kept it on the entire time you talked about it. Now back to watching.
That’s so funny! I love that it’s giving my friends on here a good chuckle because I just think it’s too hilarious!
Love your my fletching sweater. It does look like a fun knit. It has been in my queue for a while! Have to clear a few wips before I can start that one.
It is such a satisfying knit. Happy WIP knitting!!
What a fun episode! I am a first time watcher drawn in by your Fletching ❤ fun story - I am currently finishing my third Ranunculus because my daughter's wanted us to have matching sweaters. Well yesterday my son (10yrs old) requested that he and I have matching sweaters as well and through a quick Rav search he ended up choosing the Fletching ❤. Today we stash dove and found our yarns 😍. So, whilst sitting here snug in my chair, preparing to finish this last Ranunculus your podcast popped up on my feed and I knew I had to watch! We are in rural Alaska so summer knits will have to wait until May 😂😂😂
I am thrilled you stumbled upon my channel while preparing for the matching Fletching with your son!!!! Awww!!! I think it’s time for me to cast on my 3rd Ranunculus too!
❤ your podcast episode ❤️ I enjoyed the chatting at the end as I’m knitting along. I did like the balaclava although too big. I couldn’t help but lol at the comparison 😊. Thank you for the yarn shop tours. All the best in your scheduling journey 🤗
Wonderful! Thank you Linda
All those colours! Gorgeous. ❤ I’m working a on a fingering weight dress and hoping to finish it by my 50th birthday on May 1!
Hi Lisa!! I have NO doubt you will make the deadline. Welcome to the 50 Club my fellow Taurus!!!
@@theknittystew woo woo! ❤️❤️❤️
Love that Fletching! If you ever are on a layover in NYC I’d be happy to take you on a yarn crawl. All my projects these days seem to be yarn I purchased while traveling - great memories of meeting great folk and skirting the typical tourism traps.
Oh my gosh that would be AMAAAZING! Sadly we haven’t had layovers in NYC since about 2017 or even earlier. I would love that so much
Great episode 🧶 thank you
Thank you 😊 💖💚
I was knitting on the Musselburgh for my daughter as I watched this!! Hoping to. knit myself one too.
Happy Musselburgh-ing!!
Hi Leanne! Last year I knit a green sweater for St. Paddy’s day. This year I knit a green sock head in Socknado. Yay for green sweaters! Yours looks awesome! Greetings from Jasper…Patrick
Hi Patrick 👋🏼 I am convinced that one cannot have too many green knits 💚💚 Where do you get your yarn from in beautiful Jasper? You mentioned Socknado, and I am so lucky to have Ancient Arts dye studio dangerously close to my house.
Hey Leanne thanks for keeping me company while I did all the cooking chores for the week 😁 Andrea Mowry has a shawl along that ends in May on Insta and Ravelry.
That is awesome!
Thanks for this one Leanne. I live near White Rock and did not know about the yarn shop. Can’t wait to have a trip out to Mission to see it.
Mini road trip in your future !!
I too am a fan of Jessica McDonald. I've not yet attempted colorwork but I do have the pattern and after seeing your green version of the Fletching, I'm all in for it. Your Balaclava is nice and your liking it to the Sponge Towels was hilarious.
Definitely a good first time garment for colour work for sure, and she has great tutorials on UA-cam! Please let me know how it goes if you do!
Love your podcast! I live 30 minutes from Mission and I’ve been to and driven through many times but I’ve yet to get to this store, after watching your recap of your visit to trendy or what not I plan to get there sooner rather then later! Thank you!
Oh yes please do!! It’s a warm and welcoming shop :) I’ll be back there for sure.
Nice to see you again and your beautiful fletching sweater! The balaclava gave me astronaut helmet vibes too. I love seeing the many places and yarn stores in Canada, thanks for the tour. I'm finding my self knitting a few accessories these days, a manhattan hat, some self drafted socks using Crux fibres wool no less. My last sweater was with manchelopi, the Matthew pullover, which I love. Till next time!
Leslie I love that “astronaut helmet” 😆 … I have never knit an Aimee Sher design ! Might have to follow in your footsteps with that one.
@@theknittystew There are so many pages! I got lost and made mistakes, but they respond with pattern support and are nice about it. I'm considering another that has even more pages, crazy me. It's the vest version of the building blocks cardi.
Oh wow! I love your color choices for the Treysta… so beautiful! Thank you for sharing footage of the places you visit on your layovers. The history, the sights, and of course the yarn stores! I am knitting my first Musselburgh Hat. Using magic loop. I noticed you were knitting yours on a smaller circular needle….I might enjoy that more. Love the format of your podcast. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you!
Thank you so much! I do like to make hats on 16 inch circulars that is my preference. The only thing I prefer using magic loop for is socks.🧦 thanks for watching and your kind comment :)
@@theknittystew How do you start your Musselburgh? On dpns?
I followed Knitty Natty’s tutorial for starting the Musselburgh which begins with magic loop but then I transferred to my 16” circs. Here’s the video: ua-cam.com/video/1ycBozCnmAk/v-deo.htmlsi=FfiQ47BTcznOFV8C
@@theknittystew Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Omggg I cracked up “I don’t look like a horse” 😂
I love the green yarn in your sweater!!! Green is my daughter’s favorite color… that is interesting your gauge changed when you switched needle brands! Happy knitting and nice to catch up!
🐴
LisaR : Your finished projects are Gorgeous! Ok , the balaclava ... I can't unsee the towel guy 😅- spot on & great sense of humor ;)
I just realized today that my Chiagoo metal needles actually measure almost a whole size different than the bamboo - maybe worth trying your needles in a gauge ruler ..I never would have but have been using bamboo a lot and noticed gauge difference when switching this am ❤
Oh my goodness that is fascinating. I will check when I get back home!!
That's hilarious how you look like the paper towel guy in your balaclava. Gorgeous yarn, but that image is a killer. I'm going to check out crux fibres in Whitehorse.
Hello hello... You are about 1 hour from where I live.. I enjoy your channel so much...Enjoy the knitting shop.... Mary Suzanne from British Columbia
Hello Mary Suzanne!
Just found you my wife likes your approach and skill with the garment - thank you
Love the gither colors!
Thank you! ☺️
Just found your channel. Love your sweater! That green is so lovely. Looking forward to viewing more of you podcasts. Happy Spring!!
Nice to have you here! Thank you so much!
I really liked your My Fletching the green is beautiful. The pink sweater for your great niece is so cute. I am going to be starting my Musselburgh this week. The footage from Mission was great, they are always enjoyable. Thanks Leanne
Thank you so much!
I love the way your Fletchings by JM turned out! It's so lovely
Since you asked...I'm playing catch-up knitting for the local fiber mill. Been sick for a while.
Glad you are well.
Also doing beading for several upcoming events and for st markers for the fiber mill events. Oh yes, I forgot the 2 pair of socks as well. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
Sorry you’ve been sick. Happy knitting catch up!!!
What a fun episode!! That’s so cool your husband got to go to work with you. I laughed so much with the paper towel commercial. I never saw that brand before. I’m also excited for more cardigans. I’ve casted on for my second Felix cardigan using the istex lettlopi.
Haha Jillian I had such a great time knitting it and I wasn’t sad that I had to let it go.. frogging the fluff and the fingering weight yarn was slooooow and painful. But onward and upward! I LOVE THAT you are jumping into Lettlopi! So rustic and yet so beautiful 🤩 Can’t wait to see it!
Thank you Leanne for another great podcast. Also, I appreciate you for raising my curiosity about Jessica McDonald designs. I have her in my Ravelry favorites, but hadn’t looked at her patterns for awhile. My pattern search, these days, seems to gravitate toward title and designs relating to nature. She fits the bill on both counts. I just fell in love with her Snowy Shawl and see it on my needles in the near future. Be safe and keep knitting!!🙂🧶
Wonderful!
Your fletching looks fantastic. Love watching your episodes. I also finished my fleching recently and very pleased with the results!
We are Fletching twins!
Hi Leanne from Australia, I also knit through summer ( we have just had a week of 40 deg Celsius) I put my woollen jumpers in a large plastic salad bowl so that I don’t have wool in my lap. I enjoyed looking at the cardigans I need more too xx
I love the bowl trick! Simply genius. 40C 🥵.
Hi Leanne,
Another great episode! thank you. Love that green color Fletching. It looks amazing. I knit the Buds & Branches which is a pretty similar colorwork in purple & white and I love it. I thought your Balacava looked nice and would probably be toasty warm. I also have the Satelite shawl in my queue in the hopes of learning brioche this year. I loved how that yarn shop had their yarns sorted by color ranges. It looked really cool. 🤞 that your April schedule works better for you!
Thank you Karen! I know I’ve never seen another shop do that with the separate colours… and they are lace on top and get thicker at the bottom!
Fun to visit Mission area, I lived in Abbotsford years ago - those communities have really mushroomed! Your knitting is interesting too. I am currently working on the Mystery Blanket KAL by Fleece and Harmony. Quite a challenge doing stranded colourwork flat.
😃
UA-cam unsubscribed me! Fixed that, hmph. Love the green sweater!!
Glad you’re back subbed!!
Oh Leanne, you were so close to me! I live nearby in Maple Ridge. I've been there, lovely shop, a bit expensive but gorgeous yarns.
Hello Leanne. I used woolly knits cones for a triangle half and half wrap and it was stunning!! Your sweater looks amazing, as does your test knit. And that pink……I guess I will need to make a Musselburough since your is so beautiful. The Jennifer Steingas sweater is so lovely! Travel well!
Thank you Sheri!
Thanks again for taking us along on your adventures:). I love your green sweater so much! If you make it to Phoenix (near where I live) make sure to go to Tempe Yarn & Fiber! It’s a lovely shop with lots of local hand died yarns ❤.
Ohh yay! Thank you for the recommendation!
Your bright green Fletching is amazing and looks fantastic on you Leanne! Happy Spring…
Thank you! You too! 🌱 Calgary hasn’t realized it’s Spring yet… we just got a foot of snow this morning! 😆
I'm sitting and knitting with yarn that just arrived from Your Next Knit that I used your discount code for! 🙌🙌 Thanks so much!

Hi Leanne, love your green sweater! I am knitting the Zweig, loving it so far ❤
Wonderful! Enjoy! It is definitely still one of my most favourite sweaters 🧡
I just finished some Fletching socks with Paton’s Kroy sock yarn, and now you have made me want to knit a Fletching sweater! Yours is so beautiful! I also have the GARDEN cardigan in my favorites. And now I want to make a Gither cowl too.
Wonderful!
