I like a really warm/thick mitten. I use leftover/ scraps of fingering yarn to knit a lining in the mittens. Extra warm, and use up leftover yarn :)

Firsr, Kim WOW, your blanket is beautiful I love the colors you chose, Talk about not giving up on your projects. And thank you for making the crocus pattern available. I 'm not committed to a whole blanket but I have decided to make at least one the patterns for pillows and I am very excited to start. A suggestion for your Knitting chat- knitting tension such a challenge for me. Lastly I have serious FOMO about the Fiber Festival. You organizers are hitting it out of the ballpark making it one of the can't miss it Fiber festivals"

Hello Ladies, thank you for being my Friday afternoon entertainment. This week you helped me untangle yarn barf x3…… thought I could make a baby doll blanket quickly, working with 3 skeins of dk on size 17 needles…. Sadly, no, I can’t. I’ve watched all of your episodes, enjoyed every one, thank you!

I had toyed around with the idea of learning to spin for months. Listening to Simone discuss spindle spinning pushed me down the rabbit hole, and I love it 😍 I thought I would just dip my toe in with a drop spindle...I bought a wheel a week later 😁 You should talk Betsy into learning to spin so she can ask all the new spinner questions in a "Spinning with Kim and Simone" segment!

Ha! Spindling for a week and then buying a wheel... obviously a crafter just like us!

This is an episode that I have to watch again. So much information about how to figure out the left-over yarn! And the projects are lovely. I had to check out the Jasmine Tea shawl and fell in love with all the other patterns. I checked out the Wallflowers course and watched all the little sample/intro videos there! Kim I love the colours you have chosen for your Wallflowers. I know you are second guessing them but the effect is truly unique and stunning. Even the peach colour you do not like brings an amazing soft glow to the piece. I hope you do complete it as it is visually stunning.

I am working on it everyday and am really enjoying the process. Now that the darker colours are coming in, I am liking it better.

Another wonderful Saturday morning spent with you two! I’m in central Indiana and my little dog watched every moment of the Harmony Part without moving as she sat on my lap! A delightful episode! Oh how I wish I could come to PEI for the Fiber Festival and to visit your shop. But being together on Saturdays is the next best thing! May God continue to bless you all and Happy Easter!🌷🧶

Kim, your Treit is beautiful! And Simone, I love the crochet shawl that is in progress, too! As for yarn chicken, anything I do that has to be two, like socks or mittens, I do taat so that I can do the same adjusting, if needed. Also, if I have small amounts left, too little to do a couple of rows on a hat, I make prayer cloths out of them for the Church. I seldom have any real leftovers after that that are more than a couple of yards. Great episode! I saw Kirk Dunn on Fruity Knitting several months ago and I envy anyone who will see that in person. It was AMAZING! Glad to see Wall Flowers is coming back, too!

Helix knitting is a great option if you have to use skeins with a differing dye lot when knitting in the round. knit to 3 stitches before the end of the round. Add the differing yarn. Knit to 3 stitches before the original yarn. Pick up and knit the 1st yarn and repeat by alternating the yarns.

@FleeceHarmonyPodcast 3 ай бұрын

Yes - I even did a tutorial on helical knitting a few years back. You can find in in our tutorial playlist. It was a must when you are making your living selling hand dyed yarns! ;-)

Kim, your new blue sweater (that you so enjoyed working on, I know that feeling, too!) is divine. Simone, I just love your work and your creative ideas. I also love your taste in reading - more on that next week. Thanks to both of you, this was a wonderful episode.

I purchase so much yarn during the Pandemic...just in case I couldn't get any more with everyone that started knitting/crocheting 😂 I am now trying to use it all up so I have a reason to buy more. I have made 3 scrappy blankets called My favourite blanket by Kay Jones of The Bakery Bears. It is mindless knitting, mostly garter stitch but now I have 3 small throws for around the house. Used up a lot of my fingering sock yarn as you hold it double or Worsted single. Granny square Afghans are a great idea too. Great topics and projects this week. Thanks for this episode🇨🇦🥰Sharon.

Such a great episode! Full of beautiful projects, nice stories, cashmere-yarn in pretty colors. Especially the technical part will help me a lot. I like Simone for her clear and straight explanations and also for her knowledge about nature. I hope that spring is coming soon on PEI. The daffodils are already blooming here in Northern Germany. Happy Easter 🐣
