Lovely chat. Love all your things. See you next time ❣️

[GraceTheBabbler]

Lady! Thanks so much for the tutorial and podcast/vlog plug! I love you so much. Can’t wait for EYF XX.

A probably-too-late comment on the shop update segment: I can see the logic of not including it in the podcast, but personally I find that seeing wools in a video format gives me more insight into the color than photos (how that particular dye lot came out, and at least a bit of how variations in lighting affects the colors). In my personal dream world your shop updates would still happen, but in separate videos.

That tote is sooo cute! I love Bella popping up in the background at the start of the video, I love when pets show up.

[salomeelizabeth]

yes..I like your styles you choose..got to be careful stay classic ..ish I made my fade shawl ... I seem to go from one extreme to the other. luv your videos also.OOh i have purchased many beautiful fibers from Stepahanie/Loop.. she's amazing..some I purchased a few yrs back I have yet to spin some.. love her "3 ringed circus." (and I'm in Australia)

Nice Haul. Thanks for sharing your Rhinebeck adventure.

By the 5-7 slot, the lounge was standing room only, even with kicking out the 3-5 people! Luckily, a number of Saugerties businesses had places to sit and knit and relax. It was so fun to explore and hang out in the village.

[shllybkwrm]

I love your color choices for the Radiate! It's totally making me want to knit one.

[melissafauna]

Hey Kristin! Lovely to hear about your Indie Untangled/Rhinebeck. I'm glad to hear Indie Untangled was better managed this year- last year... what a sh*t show! What a coincidence, I JUST watched a helix knitting tutorial on BitterPurl's Instagram Stories like 2 hours ago, and hadn't heard of that before. I so want to try it on my next hand dyed project!

[TheBlueMouseKnits]

Loved this episode Kristin! Totally lived vicariously through you with all the rhinebeck fun, your haul was amazing! That cormo!! Uhg too cozy looking, can't wait to see what you knit with it :)
See you next week!

[Lisamakes]

...aaaand now I just bought four sock minis from Viola. Thanks for enabling me!😂

[lynnbowen]

I just finished socks in that same yarn/color way from p town! I knit mine into her mines everyday socks.

[littlebigknits]

Enjoying the new look of the start of the podcast! super fun! Great haul but I still can't believe I somehow missed you at Rhinebeck! two hugs next time!!

[gilliantherese]

Love your haul! I am sitting here surrounded by mine...thank you for being honest about what a nightmare indie was last year, I feel ya'. I gave it one more chance this year & I'm glad I did. It was very pleasant & everyone was so much more relaxed & enjoying themselves. I'm on the fence about the timed entry situation also, we'll just have to wait & see. Thank you for sharing your yarny goodness! :-D

I’ve known Steph for years - love her and her fiber.
You bought and were gifted beautiful things.

Grace (Grace O'Neill from Babbles Travelling Yarns) was also wearing the Veera Valimaki jumper whose name I've forgotten already (she also added a comment about the meaning of jumper for transatlantic viewers as over the pond in the UK [where I'm based] and Ireland a jumper is non-cardigan sweater (I find it confusing to find that US and presumably Canadians use the word sweater to refer to cardigans also. I caught Grace's podcast by accident and it's fab, complete with Beans the kitten, who is somewhat camera shy but cute. She did indeed have a short feature on avoiding join marks by helical means, which is essentially knitting in a spiral, which is what you are doing when you are knitting in the round [I think Jen Arnall-Culliford has an ebook on helical knitting currently], and it has a few applications but knitting stripes is the most common application of helical knitting. I must admit I have been put off using indie dyed yarn for more than 1 skein because of the change every 2 row business and I was watching a podcast last week where the person essentially had a jagged line all the way up her jumper because she changed yarn in the same place - helical knitting would seem to get round this, I suspect with plenty of practice, though (just like any other skill).

[cacticauldrons]

He does still stock it, I bought one this summer :)

[marla]

I know what you mean about working with Peace Fleece, but you will be happy when it's done. It wears well and looks great, but it is definitely a sheepy wool. I am currently working on a hubster sweater with the Peace Fleece sport/DK, after having done one years ago with the Aran (works up much faster)! Hang in there . . . he will appreciate it!

[pattybvt]

Yay!! My company printed the Indie tote for Lisa. So exciting to see it on the podcast!

[KnitStyle]

OMG, I bought some Peace Fleece at Rhinebeck $8.00 per skein, a bargain! Rich loved it so I decided to knit him the Rift pattern....(didn't even realize you were knitting it). I did not get gauge on the recommended needle size, (7) and I felt that it was too tight and uncomfortable to knit even with a 7--(I think it's because of the knobby 2 ply of the yarn). I went up to an 8, it's better, and I might even try a 9. Abandoned the Rift, I think I'm going to knit him "Flax" by Tin Can knits, 18 sts/4"--much more doable for that yarn. Good luck! I feel your pain! Sad to have missed you, I think we were ships passing in the night, we left early as well.
