Yes Ladies! Flock is wonderful! My daughter and I went this past weekend from SF. Spent Thursday flying in then driving up to Bainbridge and spent the afternoon doing a whole lot of wonderful damage at L&K. The shop and ladies are the Best. La Mercerie just up the street as well. Dont forget the Chihuly museum in Seattle and Pop Culture Museum. My husband and I spent 2 weeks driving aground Iceland 2 years ago before it got so popular. Driving a piece of cake on beautiful roads and stayed for 2 nights at about 3 or 4 places around the island and were glad we did that. Iceland is a very special adventure…..

It was wonderful to see you all today and all your lovely knits!! I purchased so many minis during covid--not really sure why. But, I've found Ambah O'Brien and Lisa Ross both have many mini patterns. I've also used them in the Beachy Keen shawl, and in sweaters as well--the Sea Glass Tee, for instance. As for Flock, I went last year, and this year's venue looked so much better--although I didn't go this year. I've heard rumors that next year will be different again, but I'm not sure how. I would like to go next year--hope I see you all there!!

Love your choices ladies! Thanks for all of the inspiration and your enthusiasm for knitting.

The Litmus cowl by Amy F. E. Green would make up nicely in miniskeins with a contrast color. Enjoyed your video as always.

Would love to see two of you try brighter colors.

I follow Truly Myrtle podcast each week. Libby Johnson is her name and she is very informative and lively.

I am also not a mini person. I had a set of Julie Asselin minis that sat in my stash for years. I finally used them by pairing with a white yarn and making the Waroo crocheted shawl by Deanne Ramsey. The knitted version is called the Kimba shawl by Ambah O’Brien. I was super pleased with the result.

Another great podcast. Perhaps an option for the minis is the Paul Klee sweater by Midori Hirose. There are some striking projects.

Kevin and Ray mention your podcast often and I’m so glad to have finally caught a few episodes. A pattern that really showcases minis that I’ve done is The Thinking Eye shawl by Jennifer Dassau and is available on Ravelry. I did it when I was in the Dragonfly Fibers yarn club and I learned some new techniques and came away with a lovely finished item. You may have to play with color placement but I think you have enough yardage.

For your rainbow minis, there’s a Dingley Dell project that is gray/dark gray striped with rainbow stripes at the bottom. I love it! I’m debating the grays or doing the stripes in creams.

Not sure if you are a shawl knitter Kate, but I loved making the Ice Cream Social shawl.

Love all the sweaters!! Kate, I think the Coorie In Poncho would look great with your minis striped with a neutral. Thanks for the great podcast!

Kate- I’m making The Stripy Turtle Tank by Emily Curtis with a solid color and a mini set.

Thanks .. lots of great inspiration !

Kim please take photos of your husband wearing his sweater outside or inside the glass room in Iceland.

When I saw your rainbow minis Kate I instantly thought of a Tanis fiber arts sweater design.

One more episode so full of inspiration. Thanks ! For the rainbow set did you look at patterns by Linnea Ornstein like the "Bukett", "Florett" , "Triplett " or maybe "Casparia", "Ramson", "Rabatt" since you would probably prefer a scarf rather than a shawl.

Thank you for a very inspiring episode. Please could you repeat the name and the designer of the white blouse Kate is making. I could only catch “The nightinggale….”😊

Truly Mrytle patterns are great. There is a weekly Truly Myrtle podcast too on You Tube. The designer is Libby Jonson. She has lots of patterns on Ravelry.

I have knitted the Georgie 5 times as the pattern is a great base for lots of options. One I did I just did the pattern till it was time to join in the round and did plain the rest of body. A couple I have done in colour blocks just love the fit

❤❤❤love you ladies !

Kate, take a look at the Woodstock Weekend crochet top for your ROYGBIV mini skeins. With a cream base color, that would be stunning.

Are you knitting a Rhinebeck project this year?

Another boatload of inspiration! I’m knitting along on the 220 Mitts Laura showed at Christmas time. They are great. Thanks, ladies!

Try the Last Light shawl by Stephanie Lotven for your minis. You'll need a solid color skein as well.

For your minis.... Radvent Cardigan by Ambah O'Brien's.

I had a box full of DK mini's so I started knitting up granny squares for a baby blanket. Love those! Where did you get them from?

Jackie Rose just published a new shrug pattern with 6 different versions. One used minis Kate. It's quite lovely!

Great video. How about one of the Pressed Flowers patterns for the minis? There is a shawl and a sweater.

For the Truckee CA niece, Jimmy Beans Wool is in Reno NV...maybe an hour away. They are greAt helpers there.

I couldn’t locate the Space Time pattern on Ravelry. Is it exclusive to Pick Up Every Stitch?

Hello ladies.. Love your podcasts. You show things I do not see in the Midwest. I do have a question about Kate’s frogs. I have the pattern and I am working on it & I would love to add the sneakers. I have looked through your past videos & I cannot find a reference to where Kate purchased them or what size. If possible, can you please tell me where I can purchase a pair? Thank you so much for your time and help. Happy Knitting and I hope you all get your Knitting mojo back. Best Wishes, Marsha😊

Julie, you could totally just wear a loose flowing turtle neck to give plenty of color, even white next to your face and still wouldn’t detract from your sweater…it’s beautiful. ♥️

Nice podcast but there's too many people talking at once.

My daughter makes scubbies, she crochet them. With cotton and scrubby yarn. So good !

Yikes ladies, hard to watch and listen because you all are talking over each other.

Same dye lot, different color yarn. I've been there. Knit an aran cable jacket and didn't realize until I went to seam. I had all the ball bands and the yarn shop took over the problem. They got me a new dye lot that exactly matched the majority of the jacket. I reknit the back (used the former back as a car seat blanket-- all those cables!). The yarn was a well-known brand made in China. Never again.

I detest Berroco Remix Light. Currently knitting the Pressed Flowers Cardigan with it. Can't stand the way it feels. Very fragile. I will never buy it again.

Thanks so much for sharing your knitting and all the things and your time. Much appreciated. Lots or inspiration,❤️❤️❤️❤️

I went to Montana State! I need that graph- it is fantastic❤️Pleasssseee!,, GO CATS,

Love you ladies, I’ve been faithfully watching since the beginning! You guys crack me up! Yes, I am watching now!!! Cannot believe Laura remembers me from PUES☺️❤️Plan on stopping by on the 20th…looking forward to meeting Kevin and Ray too!

You maybe mentioned it somewhere but what was the hat pattern used for the Montana Bobcat hat! It’s a wonderful team logo hat!!! ❤

So nice to see you again and I can’t believe how much and how many socks you got done while doing so much. The summer has been so busy for you. I hope you get settled in your new place and enjoy your sewing classes. I started sewing again also and I’m enjoying it so much. Hope you have a fun two weeks and I will see you soon again. ✌🏼

Oh my goodness....I laugh out loud watching your podcasts! Thanks for the laughs and the inspiration.

So much fun, as always! I meant to ask after the previous episode, what size silicone cord did you get?

I always look forward to your podcasts because it always includes great knits, but I also love to hear about your knitting adventures. Kate, Owls Head is a beautiful place. I was happy to hear you talk about On The Round yarn because it is one of my favorites, and Rachel has said that her business is struggling. She relies on social media for advertising, but recent changes in the algorithms have kept people from seeing her posts. I am so glad you enjoyed Owls Head. There are several great yarn shops along the way, including Cashmere Goat in Camden and Mother of Purl in Freeport.

So much inspiration. I was especially taken with Laura’s sweaters.

Always have the best time watching the 3 of you!

I get a lot of knitting done during grand slams too and I love Federer.

SMART yarn is a 100% superwash I'm pretty sure.
