I just love watching you and so you’re gonna take a break. I’m gonna miss you. You inspire me so much. I haven’t done color work yet and I just started making socks. I am a new knitter. I’ve only made one tank top of scarves last year. My goal was to need garment and I did this year is Chin socks and I am doing it And right now I’m doing a Test Crochet of crocheted since I was nine I’m 69 so I’ve done that forever but I’ve always wanted to net and I’ve made a goal of doing so so I love watching you. My ex-husband was a pilot. We traveled all over he has since passed away, I had three children by him and they’re wonderful. I still I raised them in Bend Oregon. They are all still there. I had to come back to Portland for work so I’ve worked in the hospital forever and so that’s what I do and they didn’t wanna come back here in 2008 when everything went kaput anyway you have a great rest of the summer.

Wow! Gotta love all your colourful colour work, Leanne. Great idea to use a colourwork chart in a top down sweater. I do that when I make my baby hoodies. I adjust for stitch count and knit the chart upside down. It works great. I will have to try it on a sweater for me. I think you will have the perfect hat when you knit your third Shetland hat. I visited Windsor when I was 11, back in 1962, so 62 years ago. My brother was interning in Detroit and my mum and I flew out from Nelson, BC (I think we flew from Spokane) to visit- my first plane ride, with full dinners with china and silverware, lots of leg room and a smoking section (gag). We drove through that tunnel under the river to visit friends in Windsor-mind boggling! Enjoy your break from podcasting and finish up all those WIPS. I will miss you, but we are all busy in summer and a good time for a break!

I just watched a really interesting video by Knicole Knits here on KZfaq where she modifies shawls into what she calls wrapovers. Basically she modifies the pattern into a long rectangle and seams it and ends up with a type of poncho effect. Oh, I really like the Garden Cardigan….very pretty.

Leanne thanks for your latest podcast, I’m always delighted when a new episode pops up. I applaud you for realizing you need some Leanne time. I was just down the road from Windsor this weekend, celebrating a cousin’s graduation. I haven’t been to Windsor in a very long time, yarn shop looks appealing - 🩷 their mascot. Also have heard great things about the yarn shop in Kingsville, from Kelly and Noelle of Knitting Pieces podcast, who are located in S/W Ontario. Happy 🇨🇦 Day and wishing you a lovely summer.

@renatemueller5530 Ай бұрын

Thanks for this great episode and all the precedent ones, which brought me so much joy! Best regards from Germany😊. This brings me to the short rows: pull your yarn really tight, so that the two legs of the turning stitch appear on top of the needle, and it‘ll turn upside down. So you will have enough tension to avoid the little gap in between. See you some day in autumn, take your time!❤

@theknittystew Ай бұрын

Thank you!! ☺️

You have to pull the thread over the needle when and after you turn for the german short row. I found a good explanation here on YT. Lovely episode as always ❤️ God bless you 💕

It was lovely to see footage in your previus episode of you, Sophie and Nancy together in NB and I can't wait to see your version of the Lunenburg knit up!

I was hoping to run into you, by an off chance, on a flight from Halifax to Calgary last month. It didn't happen to I got on board this episode with you tonight. Fun, as usual. I, too, started off as a monogamous quilter, then knitter. both crafts took me down rabbit holes and I now have many WIPS in both . Or as Darlene from the Cutbank Girls says a Work Thus Far! Enjoy the Summer break and as the old song says, See You in September.

Hi Leanne! Regarding German short rows, Patty Lyons has an amazing technique for resolving them when you go back to knitting in the round. It's in her book "Knitting Bag of Tricks" and also on her website. I think it's a blogpost from June 2018 titled Knitting German Short Rows in the Round. I use it all the time, and it makes that last double-stitch completely disappear with no holes. Enjoy your summer, and I look forward to seeing you again in the fall. :-)

Welcome to the spinning world! I also have an Ashford Kiwi 3, bought it last summer when I was taking spinning classes. I did a bit of spinning then, but wasn't happy with the lack of twist. Then about 3 months ago I realized I needed to move the drive band to the smaller groove on the whorl! I've been happy since! I did find that a 2-ply of 100 grams doesn't fit on one bobbin, since the yarn fluffy up during plying. So I considered getting a jumbo flyer, and the extra jumbo bobbins. But I ended up getting an Electric Eel Wheel 6.1 by Dreaming Robots. Their bobbins are larger, so I use it mostly for plying. I love my two wheels, Suzie and Daisy. ❤

Hi Leanne - congrats on the Kiwi 3 purchase! I have had mine for 2+ years and as you know...Tour de Fleece 2024!! is hopefully the motivation to learn - lol. Your shetland hats are wonderful and your colour work is Devine...so want a southwest version. Sunset highway is stunning and while fingering weight sweaters take FOR EVERRR....will be worth it - love the colours you chose. Cast On-itis gets the better of even the most devout monogamous knitters so enjoy...you'll be back to 3 wips in no time. Hope you dont mind....going to send you a pic of my spinning...maybe you can point me to a video to help me understand what I need to do differently(lol).

I made the Garden Cardigan when it first came out. It’s a fun, easy pattern. I used mohair held with merino so I haven’t been able to wear it much, but come the fall, I know I’ll enjoy it.

What a lovely episode again. Since I am a new watcher/fan I am sorry to hear that your episodes are going to be somewhat sporadic for a while, but I applaud you for taking the time to do what you need to do to take care of yourself! I enjoyed your finished objects as well as all your WIPs. I am delighted to know that I can now go back to watch the first 31 of your episodes that I did not watch in “real time”. I am so looking forward to catching up with your older episodes and will certainly keep an eye out fhe notification when you put out a new episode. Take care of yourself. Safe travels. Salam wa sa’aadah

Yes as we say every day “it’s important to put your own mask on first…” applies to oxygen at 40,000-ft and also applies to taking care of ourselves in life in general. 😊 What does your sign off mean (I’m pretty sure Salam is peace) but the rest?

Hope you stay with us with your chats. I can imagine it might get ‘old’ after preparing and hauling it around on your trips etc. Your time is a gift, whether for yourself or with us, so consider carefully to fit your own desires. Look so forward to you and every time I fly, I end up talking to the stews in the gallery while waiting for the potty! They are always delighted to hear about you and the podcast! Cheers. Susan

About your Isleburgh Toorie hat fit, I have the same problem. I don’t think my head is particularly small, but I want to fit just so and I don’t want it to be too long. I’ve done the same thing as you in making a hat too short because I don’t want it too long ha ha. I’m still searching for the perfect hat, apparently. I’m also somewhat of a loose litter. While I am quite brave in the projects I knit, it’s with a little trepidation when I start a new hat. Good luck! I hope you find lots of Leanne time. Take care. 🧶 ❤

So glad to see your Sunset Highway. I bought yarn for it when the pattern first came out and promptly misplaced it. Recently found the yarn and you have inspired me. Have a wonderful summer. Meet you in the fall with a bunch of FO’s!

I will need to finish my Sunset Highway as well, it has been on my needles forever!! So sorry for customs, I have not had that happen before...... I will look into that... Happy knitting, love your color choice for the Bagnol Sweater!! A joy to watch your episode, like always!!

@theknittystew Ай бұрын

Customs is a very small price to pay for your incredible yarn!! I am beyond frustrated with our current government taxing us Canadians at every turn. 😠

Great episode! Thanks for sharing about the Norwegian knitting thimble I have purchased one last week and would like to start on a colourwork projects, thanks also for the link to the tutorial 😊 I love the colourful yarns you knitting with!

@theknittystew Ай бұрын

Let me know how it goes with the thimble. It was a steep learning curve for me as a thrower, but I am glad i stuck to it. My floats hang so nicely and evenly with it!

@deekay1641 Ай бұрын

Hi Leanne, Great episode, loved all the projects. All the bright colors you have been using are so fun. Your colorwork is so good. I am really getting the itch for colorwork. I don't want to catch floats and your method with the Norwegian knitting thimble looks really helpful, I will check out the video you suggested, thank you. I hope you have a great summed and can find some time to unwind from all the stress of daily life. I know some podcasters don't edit, would that be something you could live with? Take card

@theknittystew Ай бұрын

I really try and do the absolute minimal amount of editing these days, only the key element of local footage and adding voiceover to that.

@BrendaBeckett-ob8wf Ай бұрын

Thanks for another great episode. I also love colorwork using fingering weight. I find I wear the sweaters more because they’re not so bulky. And if you use Shetland yarn, they are super warm. I have knit a bunch of the SWW hats, and I find they run big. Which works for me because I have a big head! While you were talking about your head size, I measured mine and it’s 23 inches. I haven’t knit the newest hat yet, but I will. I have tons of Shetland yarn because I was lucky to go on the Grand Shetland Adventure with Gudrun Johnston and MJ Mucklestone a couple of years ago. It was so perfect and I highly recommend travel to Shetland if you can get there!

I hope you enjoyed your time in Windsor. Looks like you were here during the end of June. Hope you were able to catch the Ford fireworks over the Detroit river. It is always wonderful to see on both sides but Windsor has more waterfeont to catch it. I find Sue2knits has way more stock and choices. She is also a wonderful lady to spend time with. I usually drive out to her. Since Detroit is so close there are some wonderful yarn shops over there as well Michigan yarn, Spun in Ann arbor, Ewenique knits in Royal Oak etc. Unfortunately downtown only comes alive during certain times of the air such aa WIFF and Saturday market on Pelissier. Windsor and Essex county seems to have a lot to offer. Seems lots of people are moving here. I do wish they would liven up downtown like Kingsville, Amherstburg and Walkerville area. You should try and catch a tour ofthe Willistead manor, we are part of the wine trail so lots of wineries, great pizza (there is a documentary about Windsor pizza), the Gordie Howe bridge will be completed in 2025 as well.

Hi, Leanne, I've had two shipments to the US from Camijoknits without additional taxes. For me, the postage alone is a choke point. BTW, Sunset Highway is the road from PDX to the Oregon coast, US 26. We'll all be looking forward to your return! Take care. XXX

We will miss you but enjoy yr break. I used pink/grey merino yarn for suburban wrap which I finished. It came from Ashford where you bought yr spinning wheel. Was going to suggest their wheels but you chose one so all good. Ashford spinning wheels have been in use for years . Happy spinning

Thats so cool. Im very familiar with Windsor, such a beautiful city. I was actually there on local yarn shop day and bought 2 skeins of the Arcane yarn at that shop. I love your cowboy/girl wip, the neons look so nice together.
