My favorite thing, which brings me joy is your color choices. I love that you pick an object (your inherited Grans beautiful bag) and pull those colors together! I keep all my end bits in a clear shoe box and use as contrast for hat brims. I absolutely loved the Hobbit House being a huge fan of the books and movies I've watched many times. Bracklimn Falls is such a beautiful place as is the countryside. The daffodils made me cry because they reminded me of my childhood home. Thank you for sharing Amy❤

Thank you for this beautiful episode. The format was lovely and if it’s more comfortable for you, then go for it! Each of your wips are so thoughtfully chosen and you’ll have so many beautiful new things to wear. If you really don’t like doing the kitchener stitch on your cowl you could just do a 3-needle bind off which would create a decorative welt where you do the bind off. I haven’t done this myself, but I’ve seen cowls finished this way and it’s lovely. The footage from your little Hobbit get away looks like the perfect place for a recharge. The landscapes you shared are extraordinarily beautiful. Happy belated Anniversary❤

What an amazing little place was the Hobbit hole you went to... such a pretty place for relaxation. Happy finishing projects time. I have a friend that usually leaves the finishing sections such as binding or putting the jumpers together forever...I mean years. Trying to encourage her to finish one and then start one .

Hi Amy! I enjoyed this podcast very much, as usual. It is always interesting to see your knits and listen to your ideas and thouhts. Loved the footage in the end, such a beautiful countryside and gorgeous views! I also wanted to mention, that “roosimine” [ro:simine] is an estonian word. It can be translated as “making roses”, because word “roos” [ro:s] means “rose” in English. This technique was used here in Estonia, mostly in Western Estonia, in the second half of 19th century on gloves and stockings. Have a lovely Spring! ❤

Hi Amy, thanks for your beautiful podcast. I enjoy it very much. I am a loose knitter and when I do Kitchener stitch, before I do the last stitch, I usually take a spare cable needle or something small and tighten each leg of the ‘V’. It works well. For such a lot of Kitchener as on your cowl, I would do it in small batches. Or maybe one of your lovely knitty friends would trade it for a small technique trade. Good luck. It’s a gorgeous cowl. From northern Alberta, Canada. 🧡

May I suggest using 2 circular needles, if you haven' t tried it, that's like knitting flat on your socks and it's fabulous. And I use the Finchley graft now not kitchener. Give that a go, it looks terrific and is a bit easier. And sounds like you are doing some sort of medical procedure, doesn't it? Though you can't use it for that cowl, you can only use it for items you can flip inside out like socks.

Don’t use Kitchener! that is what I do. Every since I found out about the Finchley grafting technique. Roxanne Richardson has a tutorial on this and I LOVE IT!❤ I will never go back. It is easier in my opinion. And easier to remember too. I also want to tell you that your soothing voice is wonderful for me right now. I’m having a desperately needed “self care” day and I’m watching knitting podcasts while I knit on what ever is giving me joy….I do feel exactly the same about multiple vs single projects! Take care

Some self discipline cuz I want all the projects s. Lol

Hi Amy. I made the same discovery when I knitted the Sister cowl by Junko Okamoto - in one of the motifs, I tried to catch my floats left often (sometimes 10-11 sts) and found out very quickly that my tension became much looser as a result, and I had to revert to catching them more often again. Luckily the differences in width becomes a lot less obvious after blocking, and is not at all noticeable when I wear the cowl.

@margarethastings3332 Жыл бұрын

Hi Amy, it’s funny I have more trouble with a provisional cast on than I ever do with Kitchener stitch, but then I do knit a lot of socks! I suppose it all boils down to practise. I don’t really think there is a magic solution to kitchener, I can only tell you what I do, and that is to just give a little extra tug after each manoeuvre, but not too much or you end up with a ridge inside. I guess that with time you just learn to ‘feel’ the right amount of tug. I don’t suppose that really helps much. I love that cowl, and your version is beautiful. I’d love to start one but not sure if I have the staying power!

@antoniaguest311 Жыл бұрын

when knitting strandedn colorwork in the round on a smaller circumference, you could knit the whole thing inside out - floats on the outside - then your tension wouldn't be to tight.

@blackmorerose Жыл бұрын

My go to channels for techniques are Roxanne Richardson and Suzanne Bryan. Suzanne Bryan's video for Kitchener stitch on socks is the method that I always use for closing the toes of my socks. She has also just started a new series of videos on grafting. There isn't one yet on grafting in the round but maybe that will come.

Hi from California! Just discovered your channel. For the Kitchener stitch I’ve been using an adjustment technique from the Bearded Purl Podcast for Anatomical Socks. The adjustment is to Kitchener a little looser and go back with a tapestry needle to tidy up the stitches.

@jennifermckenzie2968 Жыл бұрын

Hi Amy! For the kitchener stitch, I pull the yarn through fairly snug as I find that when I start through the next stitch, the last one loosens a bit. I am an avid sock knitter and my preference is cuff down, so I kitchener a lot but I, too sometimes have uneven stitches using it. In that case, before I weave the end and snip the tail, I follow it back and snug up (or loosen) each leg with the tip of my needle. As you would with evening out a picked up dropped stitch or an accidental yarn over. Hope that helps!

@Puella63 Жыл бұрын

There’s a Myak stockist here in Portugal. If by any chance you come here this Summer, you’ll be able to get it. Sally Mellville has got a book called Styles that deals precisely with combining different types of yarn and colours. Regarding Kitchner stitch, I pass the thread loosely for a number of stitches and then tighten the yarn by pulling the running thread with the needle. This way I can control the tension and match the knitted stitches.

I understand the haar, I am in Sant Cruz in coastal California . Saturday at the beach I was wearing a woolly sweater (over a linen T ) and it was 52/11C. By afternoon it was 80/26C (shed the woolly). We call it June Gloom, when the hot inland areas pull fog onshore. Knit tip- mohair projects and beach knitting are not a good combination. Kitchener tip- I, too, have tension issues. I pause after every 6 stitches or so, and tidy up the join using the needle tip before moving on. It helps me a lot.

@kristinm3729 Жыл бұрын

Isn't it strange when there are techniques that just don't jibe, even if we've used them zillions of times? Grafting isn't something that bothers me but recently I did sweater surgery for the first time using a rather challenging yarn and oh, the process seemed to last 100 yrs and I needed to fix the tension big time (as I went and at the end). Also taught me a lot about the workings of a process I've just done by rote forever because, of course, I messed up half way through when it would have been just as bad to rip it all out as to figure out how to fix the issue. That was a fun couple of hours :-) I recommend that you knit up a couple of swatches and practice-graft - one in the round as for sock grafting and one flat, like when you graft pieces of a sweater together. There will be no anxiety, as it's just "pretend", and I have to say, I did learn a lot about tension when I grafted 208st. PS: You can totally fix the tension as you go - make it tighter or looser. Just don't work too many stitches before tension correcting or it becomes increasingly fussy.

With kitchener stitch I pull until the stitches meet. I'm not thinking about trying to leave slack, obviously you don't want to pull too tight. Pull the needle through until you feel the yarn start to pull the work instead of the working yarn through the stitch.

@miekeharinck500 Жыл бұрын

about the kitchener stitch : you could have a look at the video by roxanne Richardson about 'three needle double (parallel) bind off for sock toes'. this shows a (bit of a complex) 3-needle bindoff that looks and feels as if it grafted. another tip I could give you is excercise it till you master it. if you can knit all these fantastic shawls and jumpers that you sure can kitchener!. use some thicker yarn, even the cheapiest acrylic, and have a good critical look at your own work, it is not all that difficult. good luck!! greetings from belgium

Luckily I found an online shop that carries it here in Germany.

Coincidentally, I was working on kitchener stitch during most of this episode. I am a big sock knitter and it's taken me a lot of practice to get my tension even and effortless for my grafting. The only thing I would say is that after you pull a stitch off your needle, give it a tug...but not tightly, just a gentle tug with relaxed hands and that gets me a really nice, clean and flexible graft. Good luck!

Im getting more and more sucked into stranded colorwork, thanks for your gorgeous creations. Maybe one day I’ll start one project as well. Loved this beautiful fairytale country you took us at the end. Would love to go there as well.

Hi Amy, as a fellow South African may I help you with the pronunciation of 'GEWEEF'. So the GE is a guttural sound (like clearing your throat!)in your throat. The W of WEEF is sounded like a V and the word WEEF sounds like BEEF but with a V. I hope that makes it clearer to you. Loving yours, those colors are so beautiful. I have just seen that Karen is giving a workshop here in Cape Town on all the techniques used, so well done for going ahead and getting them perfect first time. xxx

The footage at the end of your podcast; how absolutely magical! Also, gorgeous colors that you’ve knit the Corran Cardigan and Saturday Shrug in. They’re both on my knitting list.

Hello Amy! Tammi here from the Wool and Wine podcast. I have a suggestion to help with the Kitchener stitch. Skip the setup completely. It makes these wonky little points that are nearly impossible to flatten. Just start with knit off, purl, purl off, knit. Since you are using wooly yarn you only need 18” or so on your darning needle. When it is nearly gone you can spit splice more onto it. If you pull tighter than you think you should, it will be nice and neat. I hope this helps. Cheers! 🧶🍷

Hello Amy! This is my first visit to your wonderful podcast.. and what a delight it was. You have such a calm and gentle way about you, and I look forward to watching your episodes. My favourite part was the footage at the end.. I'm a country girl at heart, living on a 1/4 acre in the city of Perth, Western Australia. I take any opportunity to escape into the countryside, and the waterfall you showed was such a delight.. ever so soothing & tranquil. Thank you for a delightful podcast.. Cheerio x Tea

Oh, what an inspiring podcast once more! Your cowl is beautiful with all the designs! And I loved your idea of knitting Blouse 2 with mini skeins. It will be amazing. I think I will cast on this one, too.....after I finish a couple of WIPS.🙃

Thanks Amy for a lovely podcast. We have just returned from a trip to Scotland, my first time and I must say I fell in love with your country ❤ the scenery was so beautiful and everybody was very welcoming and friendly. I didn’t find many yarn shops but that was probably a good thing 😂 the weather was lovely too, Spring being the perfect time to visit 😊
