Hello from St.Louis Missouri!
"Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it." –Maya Angelou
Hey Natalie! I've been watching for aaaages but haven't commented much – I wanted to say thank you so much for your podcast! It brings me a lot of joy. As an Aussie my first #question is why in the world does your brother play Australian Rules Football?! I'd love to hear that story. But on a more serious note, you mentioned a few months ago that you were learning how to do your accounting but then would hand it off to someone else to do. As a small fibre business owner myself I found that really interesting – do you have a VA? When/how did you decide to hire other people into your business? Thanks a lot, Kat.
Go with the neutral for the blanket border. The colours are so gorgeous! If you use the pinknor any colour for the border it will take away the focus of the Beautiful blocks.
Yay!! I was so happy to hear something about sock week! I was wondering when it would start coming! I had so much fun last year! 😊😊
Nothing wrong with crinkly yarn, but it drives me bananas, so I use my steamer. Your mileage will and should vary. I'm uptight about yarn flurgke-bloop.
For the blanket, I would do one row of the neutral and one row of the pink. I think the neutral will set off the colors and the pink will finish it.
#question your sweaters and other handknits always look so well kept! Do you remove pills often to keep them looking new? If so, is there a tool you recommend? I currently have a pile of socks waiting to be de-pilled and can't work up the willpower to do it 🫣
On the weight vs length: I also prefer weight. Also the lengths listed on yarn labels are estimates because yarn is sold by weight. They are normally pretty accurate estimates, but there can always be differences in how a yarn is spun which leads to variation. Just an interesting fact.
Hi Natalie! Love your podcast and videos. As an avid crocheter (on and off for about 10 years) I've decided to pick up knitting, but i currently only have the budge for straight needles. Do you have any projects ideas using straight needles
Omg, toaster is especially cute and goofy in this episode. He cracked me up a few times….
Z twist and S twist definitely cause ‘pin-striping’ in opposite directions. If you use a blown yarn – tube with merino, alpaca etc, blown in, don’t cause the striping but plyed yarns do.
So sorry but have to wuit watching you. Paused the video to put dog out came back and then had to sit thru a 45 second video plus another for 5 more seconds to skip video. I understand thats how you make your money but the ads are too long (every time you pause it) and life is too short. Sorry as i lived watching you.
Seems like you're having a great time in Nashville. I just got to see the Six show as it traveled through Philadelphia and it was such a fun time! Definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.
I don’t mean to be a pain in the tush. But your pronunciation of Musselburgh is incorrect. It’s not Muh- sul- borough like a borough of NYC. It’s pronounced Muh- sul- burg. It’s a city in Scotland and the burgh part is pronounced burg not borough. Sorry. I’m a word person. Love you.
The “pinstriping” happens to me too with some yarn! I’ve noticed it’s the yarn (usually two ply, not sure about twist) and it has always blocked out!
I’m excited for you for the near finishes on your winter knitting:) I vote for the vivid pink yarn for the border of your blanket which I think fits with the fun colorways.
I would like to see how you ripped back on your sweater and captured the stitches without a life line.
I think Cottonwood Breeze.
Hey Natalie
I am curious about why you don't rib out a bit of the Musselburgh to make it longer since you wish that you had done that? I totally get that you have spend a lot of time knitting it. Lately, you have talked a lot about minimalism, having less and appreciating what you have and in my mind taking the time to make it exactly like you want it is putting love and appreciation into the project.
and In the end, i believe that you should do what is best for you <3
Speaking of knitting at events, we went to the NCAA tournament at Ball Arena in Denver in March. I called ahead to ask if knitting needles were allowed and I was told they are not, even though their website does not specify it. Their website only said weapons were not allowed. So bummer I couldn’t spend those 5hrs knitting.
I’ve enjoyed your podcasts so much for a couple of years. Purchased your sock class. I have to say, am not a fan of the commercials that have been in the recent ones 😞
