I don't think you need to change either of your gold strands for the Lykke, but I know you see them better in person. I think you've got a good contrast between your two green stands, so the contrast in the stripe will match! Maybe try taking a photo of all 4 skeins in grey scale, just to compare the contrast?❤

I really do appreciate when you take the time to tell us about a certain yarn especially the suri compared to the mohair very helpful.

I had so much fun being a test knit buddy with you for the Alder sweater, I LOVE your 3/4 length sleeves and slightly longer ribbing, it's so cute! And your Lykke sweater is going to look amazing on you. I like the more rusty colored stripe using La Bien Aimee's suri, it's so warm and fall-ish and 70's vibes.

I have many projects going as well. However, I have a very stressful job and it is my me time to unwind and drop the stress from work. I also have undiagnosed ADHD. I have many squirrel moments. Some days I can do something really detailed but then I have projects for the days that I can’t be that focused. I love your podcast because it reminds me of home. I am from the delta in Arkansas now transplanted to Arizona. I am still making wool garments because…on my goodness we only have 2 weeks of winter but indoors the rest of the year is freezing. I am going to have to invest some time in shawls…😂

I’m knitting a very basic 2 x 2 ribbed beanie with 2 stripes now for my grandson. That’s what I would do with your merino cashmere blend yarn…they go very well together. Red mulberry with 2 tide pool stripes. Or reverse. I’m going to go to PurlSoho and check out that pattern. Love your videos.

@jennymiles4426 10 ай бұрын

With your dark green test knit, you’re not gonna like this, and it’s probably too late : but to me the solution is obvious - just use one yarn, don’t hold anything with it , yes the Suri will always be too thick and you can’t wear mohair. I’d use something like LITLG Hinterland which has Gotland wool in it so has a lovely halo, is non superwash and drapes beautifully. Good luck whatever you choose but don’t fall into the trap of thinking you always have to hold two yarns together as that seems to cause you a lot of stress( not to mention expense)!!

Thanks Kaci for another inspirational and enjoyable podcast. I’ve been watching the progress on your Alder Sweater and wasn’t really sure it was a pattern I wanted to knit, BUT, with the close-up shot I could see just how beautiful it is. Now I’m off to Ravelry to add that to my queue. It’s soo gorgeous. I’m on a sweater knitting kick since your last few videos. Enjoy your knitting and Rhinebeck when you get there.

It is so sad that plant fibres are so hard on the hands as my sensitive skin and body that runs hot does better with those fibres, but my hands and my heart prefer wool too. Sigh!

I like the cashmere merino bloom yarn you picked out for the KAL. I would do the three colorblocks version of the hat and use both the colors together! I plan on making one for my husband and one for me during the KAL. I'm usually a monogamous knitter, and I already have a sweater on the needles, but hey if Kaci can have all those WIPs at once, I can do a hat at the same time as the sweater! :P

You better understand that reference. 🤣 I'm working on a crochet shawl, and may also finish the blanket I started far too long ago and stashed because it made me mad. 🤣 I also need to finish my Christmas quilt. It's been a long term sewing project, but I think I'd like to finish it this year. We'll see if that happens. I'm a person who loves to make stuff, BUT I have to be in the mood. I go through phases of needing to stitch something (crochet, knit, or sewing), daily and then I go through months where I don't want to touch anything.

@Lisa_Flowers 10 ай бұрын

@YoungfolkKnits as someone who is also 5'8", I consider myself not quite average, but not quite tall either - maybe slightly above average? I've had several female friends who were taller than 6' and to them I was the shorty of the group 😂 height is so relative. Like someone else said, to me tall is 6' and above, maybe 5'10" but you are right that the average height for women is 5'4" so we are technically tall!

@jacintamcpheat8539 10 ай бұрын

It's a comparative term, so depends on your frame of reference. But if patterns are normally drafted assuming women are 5'5" or 5'6", then 5'8" in this context is tall. Taller than the assumption made by the pattern. I don't think the comparison group is professional basketball's here.

@kristinm3729 10 ай бұрын

I've used Sonder Sunday Morning multiple times - in both DK and fingering bases. It is not roving / unspun wool. It's a 2-ply made of masham and BFL yarn and it knits beautifully. It's very airy, like a woolen spun yarn, but I suspect it's woolen prepped fibre and worsted spun, based on how it knits. It is not prickly or itchy, nor is it soft like merino. It stands up excellently to wear with few pills. The colour palette is amongst the best out there (and there are lots of yarns being milled in this yarn combo these days). It's in my top 5 yarns for sure - and I started buying it the instant it became available - even before Sonder was Sonder. (Initially it was produced by Espace Tricot when Melissa, current Sonder owner, co-owned that yarn shop.) Sonder also produces many hand-dyed yarns on very high-quality bases - and I've also tried most of them. Those yarns are mainly solid colours with lots of depth, with occasional tonality, but only very slightly. The palette is the best (in my opinion) of any hand-dye yarn company I've come across. I've not used a Sonder yarn that I wouldn't recommend.
