I think an Audrey blanket would be great! 🐈Also I love your waffling in videos, it is one of my favourite parts! Happy to see you back and easing yourself back into things in a way that works for you!

It was lovely to hear what youve been up to. Alex's elfmail is looking awesome. I really love the idea of a community project. If we did a blanket we could do squares for different stitch patterns, but a scarf would be awesome too. For your chair's blanket my first thought was you should weave it, 🧣if you stripped the warp too you could get a nice random-ish plaid. But ivalso really love the idea of a stripetly knitted blanket. 🦓 Have you seen the Excavation blanket by Jana Pihota? It's a wonderful pattern, and super adaptable, you could definetly use dice to decide the striping. I knit one in January with aran-bulky weight scraps and found it so moreish. The whole time i was working on it I was thinking it would be great to do in handspun.

Definitely an Audrey blanket 🐈

I personally like to use a slip knot to start working in the round. It ends up looking very similar to what you’re doing here :3

I vote for ocean colors. Love those blue/green fibers. I would definitely share my fav stitch pattern with you for a group inspired project. Could this be flexible and be either a blanket or scarf?

Audrey cat colours would be great for your chair cover 👌✨😃

Warm colours. Weaving could be nice. knitted is more flexible as to making it to size as you go.

For the blanket I vote ocean 🌊🧜‍♀️you have a lot of neutral and black already and I think it will look really lovely against all that. The idea of a community blanket also sounds lovely 😊

Ooh I love all the color combos you've done on the Elfmail 😍 your color sense is so my vibe

🐈💎. I love love love your shawl the colours are so beautiful.

My vote is for an Audrey blanket so 🐈 🧣? Thank you for the video, life can get really hectic and it’s a nice reminder to stop, breathe, and knit. I had a moth outbreak and it’s made my crafting suddenly very stressful, so it’s nice to just sit down and enjoy some cat nonsense and chair love!

Lovely to see you. I prefer the less structured discussions. Often knitting podcasts feel so clinical, so keep up the waffling 😁 How about browns and greens like the forest?

So good to see you well, Katt. For helping 🐠 or 🐈‍⬛, both are really stunning 🧣… Your idea of knitting blanket stitch dictionary is really appealing…

another video we cheered! your hair looks lovely btw ❤

Lovely to see you, again, I rarely leave comments, but as soon as you said maybe an Audrey blanket? I thought yes! 🐈

You’re actually the reason I knit the chainmail sweater and it’s one of the best sweaters I knit so far, I love it so much and I love watching your videos 😊

Hilarious title!!

Good to see you again, you look amazing. Enjoy this very cool chair too to share your great projects with us xxx

Thank you! it was nice hanging out and listening about crafting

definetly ocean

Hi Kat if I was you don't use your good handspun yarn. Go for a more synthetic yarn like acrylic and then you will be able to wash it easily if needed without ruining it.

Regarding blankets! ¿Por Qué No Los Dos? I feel you should make two! I feel you should have a base blanket that is just a plain weave in fairly neutrals, hardy fibres. And then also make a knitted one with the oceany foresty ones. Because then you can always choose to add some soothing oceany foresty vibes whenever you feel like it! But you can also take those vibes elsewhere when it's wanted elsewhere :)

Thank you for chatting with me, I've missed it so much!! I know you're steering away from the more normal podcast-y vibes, but I really just enjoy you waffling away about projects because it is what comes closest to just chatting over coffee with some needles in hand!

Thanks for sharing what you've been up to, it's great to see what you are playing with.

Thanks for sharing what you've been up to. I'm glad you're getting life sorted and it's calming down a bit. I've been working on swatching for future knitting projects while hanging out with you. 😊

I have a James N Watts pattern obsession, si it super cool to see what you made. I've made a few of his patterns, but I still have most of the mesh patterns to go through. Luckily, it's warm year-round where I live so I can get lots of use out of those open mesh and lace patterns.

Oooh love that lil alpaca silk sweater you made and the dragon you painted on your jacket is adorable! 💜

And here I thought I was the only one that still had an i-Pod Classic. I think the last time mine was updated might have been 2009/10. I've recently thought about trying to get the music off of it, since I don't have most of it anywhere else anymore (there are a few CDs floating around from forever ago, but I don't have anything to play those with anymore, either), and the button in the middle is starting to get squirrel-y.

Hi dear Katt 🤗 it's great to see you again and hear what you're up to! I finished my elfmail and am so pleased with how it turned out thanks to color inspiration from you 😊 I love the new alpaca silk top, very cool effect! I started on the Lucrezia Blouse by Fabel Knitwear, really wanting an airy pullover that I could wear on summer nights, but I'm finding the mohair too warm. Maybe alpaca silk would be a better choice? Or maybe I need to loosen the gauge out a bit and adjust the pattern. I'm also considering trying it with just one strand of mohair instead of two, but not sure if it will be durable enough. If anyone has any thoughts or tips, I'd gladly take them 😊

Love you beautiful Katt❤

Hi Katt! Always glad to hear from you and hear about the cool projects you’re working on. Glad to hear things are getting a bit better in your life. The lil Baby wretchwrot looks AMAZING! Watching Brennan embody his chaotic self in Baby made me chuckle loads. Take care ❤

So cool to see you again❤

What an achievement !!! I'd love to be able to finish a project on that kind of scale :)

Nice to see you again❤ I've been missing you

Thank you for your lovely videos! I just finished my first storm hood out of Jacob roving I handspun and I love it. I will have to try making a “softer” one with mohair. I have curly hair and find if I wear a hat, my hair looks rubbish. But a looser, soft hood might be just the thing. Your paintings are so inspiring! Sending love from Minnesota, USA :)

It was so lovely to catch up with your projects! I've also been paused on knitting for a bit and gone back to crochet (but doing amigurumi, which I've never done before) and played around with chainmaille and felting - it's so rejuvinating to find other creative outlets <3

Thank you for this lovely video! ❤ I was very happy to see you come back with a little making update for us. Your improvised lacey jumper is stunning and I would love to take a look at the notes on how you made it 😊 Have a lovely day and keep on making 👏🏻

It's so good to see you again 💚

Yea! So glad to hear your voice again! I do miss the knitting content but it’s fine if you’re not into it much anymore. We all go thru those periods in our lives where we find joy in other stuff that we never thought we would. Storm hood really looks cool! ClaudiaSJI

ah and dear Katt, i am always grateful to have some of your news and see your makes, always inspiring and full of play and love. Please always take your time and only podcast when you feel like it!

sooo coool the nerdy,c heeky devil...love it

ohh welcome back Katt, what a joy is to watch one of your videos after a day's work :) your leather painting is so lovely, you have a talent for it! I love to see the different ways other than knitting in which you express your creativity lately. Keep well and see you soon <3

💗

Your hair looks amazing! 😄 Thanks for sharing all of your different projects, they are all awesome but the jacket painting gave me a chuckle and I loved the Audrey-griffon 🤩

Such a cool jumper! Might have a go at it.

Nurgle is the best chaos army ❤ I used to have goblins ( no orcs allowed) the undeath and chaos for Warhammer 40k 😁 love your works and your energie 🖤🖤

Always lovely to hear from you no matter the content or method. Thanks for the video! Just happily spinning and knitting over here trying to finish a thing or two every once in a while.

I find that hoods are far too big on coats
