Those Fonte colors are gorgeous! It does look like you chose them, all so incredibly beautiful! I am surprised every yarn company in the world isn't knocking on your door to help with color combinations! I'm always amazed and surprised how they turn out! I'm a lover of the combination of blues, greens and purples and I guess you'd need to add a gold or mustard in there for the under body feathers of the peacock 🦚. I would love to see you create something in that colorway. And I adore your tam! Maybe the 15 wooly knit yarn deal had sold out of their colored yarns and was trying to reduce their neutral stock because that's all they had left? Surprising nonetheless, but I do love the speckled yarn! I love the color for Franks vest and the Princess Leia is gorgeous!

Happy New Year, and Lang May Yer Lum Reek 🙂. We watched Glass Onion the other day and enjoyed it. The two movies really remind me of Agatha Christie stories. I also loved the visual beauty of the movies. I received my order here in Canada of my first Wee County Yarns Kinross 4ply, in the colour Mary. To me, it's the most beautiful red that I've ever seen. I was inspired by a young woman who had the podcast Willow Cove Crafts....she is knitting the Culm pullover with her Kinross 4ply, and refers to it as the neverending sweater, lol. I will investigate patterns a bit, but I do think I'll knit the Culm, also. Maybe it will be my birthday cast-on later this month 😊

Princess Leia, I must say that your granny, your mama and your very self really spoiled you this Christmas! Amazingly beautiful stash acquisitions. I love all your prospective projects and totally agree with frogging the Anthology. So many people were knitting it this year, but a round throw does not seem practical to me either- I would prefer to showcase such lovely yarns in something that you can really enjoy. I am delighted about the knit along as I have the yarns all ready and the Lento is all set for my New Years cast on for little old me, after lots of gift knitting over Christmas and New Years. Perfect timing! Mine will be black- so daytime knitting, but I am excited to finally start it. I am scrambling through my budget for 2023 to see if I can squeeze in becoming a patron so I can enjoy the extra episodes- expenses are rising, but I have now reached the age where I must take more income each year from my retirement savings, so maybe I will join you in the patreon community! ♥️ Happy New Year and hope your Hogmanay celebrations were loads of fun.

hope you had a wonderful Hogmanay Amy! We were watching Three Pines as well. It is a superb series and we still have the last episode to watch. We really love it because the Detective is played really well , but also because the series deals with the very real and important issue of Police violence against Native Peoples here in Canada and the Missing Women (who are almost all Native women as well) and the Residential Schools. The way these crimes have brushed off and not properly investigated, how there are some top men in positions of power involved in the issues ( in a bad way) are all truths that Canada has been, or is now being forced to deal with. It is a dirty history that no-one has wanted to face up to, and it has been whitewashed. Kind of like the Highland Clearings in a way. You could over-dye those rather drab colour cones of yarn, and of course swap them with other people as you suggested. With the 6 KM of yarn you ordered 😃 consider knitting matching Stephen West leggings for Frank and yourself - a good way to keep warm as the energy crisis is not going to go away any time soon. It has hit here as well but not as badly yet,. We are bracing ourselves for the worst at the end of 2023. And finally there is a really lovely and interesting scrappy/mini skein shawl pattern that has hit the Knitters and KZfaqrs - one of them is called the Excavation Shawl by Jana Pihota and another one very similar to it with the fringes as well ( Can't for the life of me remember the name). You could use those gorgeous yarns from Janna of Finnish Knitting for that. Her throw using the podcasters advent yarns is quite gorgeous, I was pleasantly surprised by it, but yes, I agree, I wouldn't wear it and the yarns you have would be a bit wasted on it. And finally, you u may want to consider the popular "No Buy 2023 " for yarns with that fantastic stash you accumulated over Christmas! You won't be lacking for any! But seriously, what fab yarns you received! See you in 2023! Aah and I forgot to mention - That beret is Da Bomb and suits you well, as does the colour!!!

Really looking forward to see what you do with the wool/cotton woolyknits cone, because I've bought the same one! Couldn't resist the bargain! I've done a couple of swatches but can't make my mind up what it would suit x

Happy New Year to you. Yes, You MUST take care of those hands to allow us all to look into your world of knitting for the future. I have a questions about the Mohair, you are showing a beautiful skein of 450 meters of the Rhienbeck colorway, stunning. I was wondering how to plan on using it and figuring it in the yarn meterage when the main color calls for many more meters. I am hesitant to use mohair or the other options because I don’t want to not get enough yarn when purchasing. I found today’s card so enlightening and fitting for most of us here.
@AmyPalko Жыл бұрын
So, I quite like a single skein of beautiful hand dyed mohair as there are quite a few shawl options which only require 1 skein of mohair when combined with other yarn. And i have also held the mohair double and subbed in for a thicker weight yarn in a colourwork yoke. I'm more likely to do something like that with it, rather than holding it double with a second strand for an all over fluffy garment.

Hi Amy Have loved this episode! I am a very very beginner knitter! I stitch normaly. You are delightfully coming to stay with us in the spring. I would love to try a shawl. Could you recommend a starter shawl and yarn that includes lovely colour? Thanks Heather

I just finished 3 pines yesterday, could not agree more with you! I’m going to attempt the KAL I think. I’ve never done one before and I’m not an experienced garment knitter but want to be. After the end of this podcast I’m off to look at how to do short rows to see if I think I can do it and join. 🤞

Hi..I would suggest you look at the German short row tutorial by Purl Soho...German short rows are the easiest to do..Good luck!
@AmyPalko Жыл бұрын
You can do it, Christine! And, I absolutely agree with Andrea - I also use the german method for short rows. I would also say that Very Pink Knits is my go to resource when I want to learn a new knitting technique. Her videos are so clear and helpful.

I have a good stash of yarn. It won't all fit under my king & queen beds in sweater bags...I have two bins in the closet and a sweater bag to give away...but I can't fathom 6 kilometers of yarn. Perhaps I have that much? There's a mind bender. I do mostly use a bulky weight yarn to loom knits hats in the round.

Omg 6kilometer thats so me. Listen in case of pandemic uou are so prepared girl. Hahaha. Btw I also bought uk cones and hanks. I wasnt sure if 2hanks will be enough for dk sweater as its like 800m dk ( double yarn)
@AmyPalko Жыл бұрын
Hahaha! Ye p - I won't run out of yarn to knit, that's for sure! As for whether you'll have enough DK, I think it depends on the gauge and the size of the sweater. 800m would be enough for the first 3 or so sizes of the Lento or the Ranunculus. They're both around the 15 stitch gauge mark. It would probably also be enough for a vest/slipover. Might have a few more options if you don't have to knit sleeves!

Amy, crazy question but several years ago Stephen West did an interview with a woman who knit many of his patterns. I’ve been wondering if that was you? Now don’t go deep diving to see what this woman looked like bc my memory is vague. I love seeing your beautiful projects. I think Curvette needs to be added to my 2023 list.

Hi Amy Happy New Year! Here is a question about your new format you talked about: Will you show all your knitting projects on the free podcasts or only half? Do I have to become a patron to see all your knitting? That would make me really sad. Please let me know. Thanks Heike

All the knitting is included in the regular episodes. And there is an informal monthly Sit & Knit episode just for patrons.

First of all you are such a wonder and good sport who can laugh at and with yourself. Secondly you’re every bit as inspiring as Laerke and thirdly skip the prime Amazon bad actors in Three Pines and spend your time reading the series. I read right through 1-18 without anything in between. Can’t speak to the audible version since it was before I was knitting. I’m opinionated I’ll admit. So I can say I think you’re one of the best and rewarding podcasters. Deb

Hi Amy. I was watching episode 21 recently and saw your Maeve cardigan in drops Nepal. Do you remember what the colour you used was? I really love that colour.

It was actually Drops Lima and it was the Ruby Wine colourway, I think.

I think there are several knit nights spotted around the city. If you use Ravelry you can search groups by location - which is what I did when I was looking for one to join. What kind of area were you looking for?

Hi Elaine - So, it's an intuitive process that's evolved over the course of over a decade of these readings. I have my own personal deck of goddess guides, and then through a process of meditation, ceremony and intuition, I draw the goddess guides from the deck for each individual recipient.

The Louise Penny books are way better than the show (although I loved the addition of the residential school and MMIW story lines). You will love them, I promise
