Episode 2: Mostly Knitting Podcast - Birds of a Feather and Darkwater by Jennifer Steingass

In this video, I show my 4 finished objects, 3 works in progress, 2 knitting plans and 1 previous finished object, the dress i am wearing.

I also discuss how having a different gauge to a sweater pattern will affect the size of the finished object. I demonstrate the math to work out what size to expect BEFORE you knit it.

FOs:
Gusset Heel Socks by Wendy Johnson using Knitterly Things Vesper Sock yarn
Birds of a Feather by Andrea Mowry using Skein Uptown Sock and Skein Mohair Silk Lace in Wisp
Musselburgh by Ysolda Teague using Malabrigo Sock in Cote d'Azure
Twisted Rib Hat - no specific pattern. Ravelry roject page:

We love sequence. It’s great for all ages. Your dress is beautiful

Thank you for the tip on sizing. You made it easy to understand. I wrote it down for reference in my Rocketbook.

Your dress is beautiful, no wonder you wear it a lot. Looks new from our view. Thanks so much for gauge altering. I'm 34" bust and want to make the ranunculus, but don't want to look lost in it. Great podcast.

Thanks Tash, great tips on gauge. So many projects completed and on the needles. Have a great first week back teaching!

Love your podcast. I am a brand new knitter, started with socks; on my 4th pair of vanilla socks, toe up with shadow heel. Lining up a few projects I am starting to buy wool for. One of them is your lovely dress! Thank you for the tips.

Really enjoying your podcast. Thank you very much for the math equation. It is very useful, and I have taken a photo to remind me. Not sure if it's me, but as your voice is soft, I am finding even on full volume I find it quite hard to hear you. The adds that come on are very loud, so maybe it's your end. :)

Enjoyed your episode Tash. Your dress is lovely! It’s always fun to hear about future knitting plans. I am just beginning to tackle garment making. My next project will be the Love Note. Thank you so much for the info on gauge. Happy school year and happy knitting. 💕🧶

Thanks for math calculations
I’ve done some before but you made it very clear. Interested on how you calculate for aline sweater to dress . Maybe it’s in future video catching up on them thx

Hi Tash! going through your episodes from the start while knitting along in front of a fan to contrast the heatwave here in Italy...loved your knits... I am intimidated by the colourwork but really love Jeniffer Steingass as a designer...I was wondering about the dress if it did not stretch or change shape from the wear and any tips about that? 🌺

Brilliant explanation of calculating a different gauge, thank you! 😃
