    Thank you Kirsty and Tracy. I had subscribed to your podcast some time ago but had not watched until last week. And I now have binge watched all of your episodes to date while recovering from my first bout of Covid. Thank you for keeping me company! So much enjoy when the both of you get to laughing!!!! I feel like I have learned so much in each podcast and you've peaked my creativity in thinking about color and yarn use, and new fiber crafts to trial.
    (Tracy I would totally purchase some of your bags if I resided in the UK!!!! Kristy you're pulling me closer into the world of trying spinning!!!!)

    this might turn into a book, but I have 3 things… #1 I am saving all of my fingering weight scraps for a giant granny square blanket with the very bits of yarn starting in the middle and gradually getting longer as I go, using the Russian Join method to attach; #2 After knitting colorwork with both hands for years, I now find my tension is much better using just my dominant hand; #3 I dyed two wool sweaters (separately) before using a 5-gallon bucket and stirring very slowly, no patches or felting. Maybe some of this sparks an idea for you two. Happy Knitting and Crochet!

    Happy New Year to you both. I enjoyed this episode so very much and loved all your finished projects. I agree with you that the brighter colours bring more joy in the planning and the knitting up and help to give your individual personality a voice. Although it can go against the grain, I too have discovered over the years that I need the neutral shades to help balance the more colourful garments/assessories. I admire those designers who offer the classic neutrals in stylish patterns but I grew up on Kaffe Fassett and his beautiful use of colour and love Marie Wallin's use of shetland colours in her wonderful patterns. The puppies were a delight and a real hoot to watch!! The jumper will be great over dyed.

    • @woolandwishes
      @woolandwishes  Рік тому +1

    What a wonderful episode ladies! I loved every project from both of Tracy's cowls and socks to Kirsty's socks, hat and scarves 🥰 My suggestion to Kirsty regarding her Metamorphic is to not overdye it, but make a neutral (aka solid or heathered) scarf or cowl to wear over the top of the sweater. You can keep the lovely colors from your handspun, but have a different color near your face that doesn't wash you out. Maybe a pink (even a neon!) that picks up the color from the handspun, or the green that you were thinking of overdying. Happy knitting!

    So happy to see you both.
    The pups have gotten so big. They are very beautiful.
    I could write pages about how much I love all the the knits and the yarns that you shared. The hats were so good. I loved the cardigan, I think it would look cute layered with a blouse and, since it's longer, with leggings.
    That Intarsia scarf....OMGoodness, it's sooo good. The scrappy cowl and socks were so fun.
    Kirsty, I think your idea for using the Sweet Shop blanket pattern for a scarf would be really lovely. The shawl that you are working on with the black and gold colors is stunning I love it.
    I just finished making Stephen West's Garter Squish blanket and I used two strands of Simply Soft (it's a acrylic fiber) it really is so squishy and I can just throw it in the washer. I'm working on Amy Palko's Coorie In Poncho, using Holst Garn Super Soft held together with Titticaca.
    Please take care of yourselves, there is a lot of sickness going around this winter.

    • @woolandwishes
      @woolandwishes  Рік тому

    Happy New Year I absolutely agree I can’t stop with the bright colours and I know exactly why I like using them because they make me happy. Probably why I have lots of neon socks that advent calendar is just beautiful I’m also a loving it Knitting day Maxine, hot water bottle cover. I’m on my second and again I think it’s cause. I enjoy playing with colour and I’m lucky to live in the Lake District so I swim in the lake all year round including New Year’s Day , it does give you a great buzz.

  • @amandaanderson6242
    @amandaanderson6242 Рік тому +1

    To get an even dye for your sweater you want the colour to take up slowly. Presoak the garment and use a large enough pot so there’s plenty of room. Then heat slowly with the jumper already in the pot, push down for even dispersal as it warms up rather than stirring until it steams not boils and when the water turns clear turn off the heat and leave to cool.
    Good luck love to see the result.

    Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best. Lovely knits and I love that your puppies are so interested - perhaps they are wanting a cowl or a hat 🙂 Your sweater looked good to me on you. When you held it up - it also looked good with the green cowl you were wearing. How about just making a brighter coloured cowl to wear with it? Excellent show notes. Thank you for sharing and Take Care !

    Tracey, that green of your sweater....I am obsessed as well, found a good match on Hobbii in a viscose, linen and cotton blend which will be perfect for a summer top., eagerly awaiting its arrival. Kirsty, love all your spinning adventures, wish I could spin thicker yarn, mine always defaults to almost lace weight so you can imagine how long it takes to get a garments quantity, especially when I am starting from raw fleece. Very inspired by the fantail shell pattern, was pleased to see she had a video tutorial which then makes the pattern easier to read, I have a real problem following written crochet instructions as well.

    • @woolandwishes
      @woolandwishes  Рік тому

      That hobbit blend sounds perfect for a summer top! Ah yes lace weight will go on forever. Where I use the E spinner I change the speed settings which allows me to spin thicker. What amazing yarn you must have with processing the fleeces yourself too! 😍 Thanks for spending time with us! 💕

    Love your podcast and was waiting patiently for this next instalment - so glad you're feeling better.....
    I know this might sound like a lame solution to your colour problem, but I think all you really need is something a warmer colour between the sweater and your face, something like the sophie scarf or similar around your neck with the dusty pink/ plum colours or the neutrals you showed.......

    Tracy, it must be something to do with the name but I too am trying to use up all my scraps. Have been doing similar thing Cowls etc. I broke my wrist as as part of my recovery have making 4 round granny squares with an aim to make a 5th at somepoint and join them altogether. I have them all in a bag at the moment until I decide on the joining yarn. It will make a nice ramdon memory blanket

    Kristie, have you thought of tea staining the yellow metamorphic sweater? It could change the tone of the gold to a more brownish shade depending on the properties of the tea.
    My tips for dyeing are;
    Use a large pot for the dye pot so the entire sweater can be submerged,
    Use a bbq cooker outdoors to heat the dye bath,
    Make sure the sweater is wet thru and thru,
    Make sure the dye in the pot is completely dissolved, less dye is better,
    Turn the heat off and gently add the sweater,
    Cross fingers and wait. I can't wait to see how it works out!!

    • @MousesMakes

      Soak the sweater in plain warm water and make sure its thoroughly wet.
      I agree with the above but I would dissolve the dye and then soak the sweater in a cold dye bath for a few hours, moving it every so often. Then heat slowly as above adding whatever mordant you're planning to use after the dye has mostly absorbed. X

    Great to see you and all of your projects. A very special treat, as I had my afternoon free to knit. Love the dogs. Makes me laugh, go back and watch, your faces at times, looks like you’re watching a scary movie when you think the dogs will knock the tripod. Just makes it more fun. Love your metamorphic just as it is but I’m a green girl so I think that would look amazing. See you next time❤ Oh, not a rainbow girl but that Litmus cowl is stunning and yes I’d wear it. And the way your face lit up Kirsty, I’d say rainbows are still your love.

    Hello dear Kirsty and Tracey - I’ve been enjoying your lovely podcast for a little while now and I wanted to let you know how much I’ve been enjoying them - especially this one 😊 I love the variety of projects you complete and I enjoy hearing about your visits to yarn festivals etc - not that I can get to them 😢 I live in Tasmania, the little island state of Australia where we’re in the middle of Summer - not usually too hot here, though we did have 31 the other day - yuk! And thank you so very much for mentioning the Twinset and Purls podcast - I’ve started watching their latest episode and have downloaded the Edwina Cowl - I simply adore that pattern! Bye for now ❤

    I would put your dye in a big pan but don't put any mordant and use cold water. Submerge your sweater and after you've moved it around and given it a good soak in the dye, then add some dissolved mordant and mix it well and then start to heat it up. It should be way more even in tone if you do it slowly like that and keep it moving around as it heats up. I think that might be your best bet!

    Happy New Year!! Kirsty I think your peachy toned handspun could look nice in a sweater with a green neckband, cuffs and hem. I think the colour is really nice but I see what you mean about it being close to your skin tone. I think putting a different colour between it and your skin with a different neckband and cuffs could help.

    Happy New Year for you two! I‘m so glad to see you again with all your amazing projects. I had the same problem with a curling icord at the hem - the best solution i found is to go down needle sizes, knitting a few rounds with smaller needles ,decrease some stitches and then cast off really tight. Tayler Earl ( the dyer behind „ Fiber for the people“) made a video how to overdye a sweater. Perhaps this is helpful… Greetings from Switzerland, Hanna

    • @woolandwishes

And OMG Tracy, that Lyra hat!!! I can't stop drooling! Lovely to see you back ladies. Here's to a productive, but above all enjoyable, year of crafting! 🥰🥂🍻

    Kirsty- I have made the Rock-It Tee several times, with a number of modifications. I did the i- chord neckline on the first one but did not like it on the sleeves or hem so I ended up knitting ribbing.
    I am sorry you have not been feeling well and am happy to see you back.

    If you check out Wool Needles Hands, Tayler overdyed 2 sweaters. I think the process and her episode provided a lot of good detail and the results on both sweaters looks really good. You might check it out to see if it provides info you can use on your Metamorphic.
