Where do I find the blanket training?

I am not sure what training you are referring to. Is it the Wallflowers online class? Here is the link to that website: www.themercerie.co.uk/wallflowers-the-tale-of-a-mystery-crochet-blanket/

Always love watching to see all your lovely knitting & crocheting. Betsy your bouquet is looking beautiful, need to make some too. Kim, I'm wondering about something you mentioned on a few podcasts ago regarding being able to download all the months of the blanket, and saves you from having to send individually per month to all the folks wanting the PDF. I'm not sure how you go about doing that? I looked on Ravelry to see if I could just put it in my library and then each month the new patterns would then be added, but there is no option to do that. Thank you ladies for all your talent you share, it is so inspiring. 🤗

My comment for people who are "catching up" or are just joining in. Folks are placing an order for each of the previously released patterns individually. This creates an order in my accounting software that I have to do a couple of functions to complete each order. If they ordered all of the previously released patterns in one order, I would just need to do the completion step once. If you have been following along and getting your patterns each month, of course you had to make individual orders and you are not able to order future releases until they are published.

For the fiber festival, I would love to have a crochet workshop on colorwork, not color theory or granny squares or flowers which are relatively simple to do but doing crochet colorwork patterns and intarsia-like techniques in crochet. I’m a knitter but I’m going to tackle the Nauris Tote Bag by Molla Mills, a Finnish designer - Molla has fantastic modern colorwork crochet, many captured in her book Crochet Crush. Or Betsy, how about your crochet flower designer? That would be great too! I did get into Simone’s drop spindle class so super excited for that! Also, just a thought, I wouldn’t mind virtual instruction in a group doing the same so I could learn from others, especially if there were live helpers in the room. (Maybe with a bit of a price adjustment due to the instructor not being there live?) looking forward to October !

Those sunsets were spectacular! I love sunrises and sunsets! Becky, the 12 Days of Knitmas had a shawl that had the incorporated i-cord on the sides to hide carrying the yarn over multiple rows. I THINK it was 2022/2023. The shawl had 4 colors, I'm sure, because I used magenta, purple, blue and orange - all fingering. It was just 3 stitches at each side making the i-cord. Simone, that sweater looks wonderful on you. That's a very good color for you.

Great podcast ladies. I did want to pass on a tidbit of info I heard about from my spinning group as a few members heard about this from our local guild…. they tried it and it works like a hot you know what. For fibre that has been around for a while and may have compressed some what you can steam it comes back to life and ease of spinning. I looked for a video and found info on it in youtube I will put a paste of it here as I couldn’t seem to find the easy link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8x4Z5V02de4nmw.htmlsi=RyByddqjn_-5J7RI. I hope this works if not let me know

I look forward to each of your podcasts. Because the three of you have so much fun together, it feels like I’m sitting with a group of wonderful friends. Each of you brings a special talent that enriches all of us. Love your projects and how you support oneanother through them. Kim, if you haven’t yet started knitting the sleeves for your pink sweater, you could knit them both at the same time on the same needle and then they will be exactly the same length. I’ve done this for years and it’s a game-changer. The only tip I have is to pin them with a removable marker or light bulb pin close to the top, about an inch below your live stitches, so that you don’t turn your work until you’ve knit both sleeves…….speaking from experience😅 Take care and thanks for all the fun!

I find that heavily dyed Merino is often compacted in areas. After I divide the fiber into strips, I go through and predraft. Merino is often prone to breaking and forming naps. Not my favorite to spin. Beautiful when done but more , shall we say, Challenging. Love you three. Always a pleasure to watch.

I forgot a note to Simone! Harkening back, Comfrey needs to be planted where it will stay forever. If the root is ever disturbed, it will become a field of Comfrey!! It is excellent in permaculture. Planting one next to an apple tree, it will aerate the soil with its massively long taproot. Also, the leaves can be cut for mulch...a free, living supply. Also, it is astonishing to see you on pink!! It gives you a rosy complection. Beautiful!!!

Magnificent sunsets!!! I immediately saw a range of sunset colorways. After today's Tour de Fleece presentation, I swear those sunsets were bats hung from the galaxy!!! I love hearing and seeing the spinning. Though I won't be adding it to my skillet (as it is, I'll be buried cushioned by my knitting stash...), I will be savoring Betsy's maiden voyage, Kim's evolution into speed spinning, and Simone's happily wheeling away. A perfect trifecta. (Hmmm...I think there is a poem hidden there.) I mapped out PEI Fiber Festival and it is definitely doable for me. A mere 9 hours! I'll be saving for next year. WOOHOO Thank you for all your off-the-cuffness, creativity, inspiration, and tenaciosness. You are jewels in my life!!!

I’ve been wanting to comment why I love the Fiddlehead mittens. The reason why is because I have short hands and with the patterned mittens, the full pattern is longer than my hand. By adding a nice liner, knit to the length of my hand, this suggestion keeps my fingertips warm and cozy🙌

Immediately thought ‘murder’ of crows might be what you were referencing! Also, I downloaded the blanket pattern squares through July in the same order. Are you saying there is a way to preorder the rest of the squares (prior to release) at this time? I didn’t see an option to order the rest of the blanket squares (August-December). Great ‘wool-cast’ as usual. I enjoy your interactions!

I was referring to folks that are joining in now and are ordering all of the squares that have been launched so far. Many are ordering each month's squares on separate orders: an order for January, a new order for February, etc. There isn't a way to get August - December. The blocks are only revealed one month at a time. You did exactly the right thing!
