These Making episodes are nuggets of inspiration, Emma - thank you for sharing your circle of makers with all of us. There’s a sense of humility and appreciation that’s a common thread amongst many creative folks…and the need to make, not necessarily produce, resonates. Your doggie love story 💞!
Loved this, what beautiful baskets Phil makes and so nice to hear his story and how it all came about. Wool and willow so many similarities, both needing skill and time to master. Thank you for sharing this Emma. All the best Heather
I love to that you talk to people who do different crafts, not "only" wool and yarn, it's really interesting to hear about the different processes. Thank you!
Oh that was lovely. Thank you so much. You do a great job with the interview. It is interesting as an American to hear the different slight in accent. And love the baskets and the Silver birch pot! Really sweet.
A decent woolcycle is an essential on a machine! I wash all my handknits, handspun, cashmere, everything, on the gentle care cycle with surf wash powder 😁
First of all, thank you for taking the time to record such a lovely video for us. ❤ Your garden looks wonderful. 🤗 (your knitting too of course 😉) Actually I wash all our woolen garments in the washing mashine. Most of it isn't super wash. I use an eco detergent for wool and silk and use the wool cycle. Nothing ever shrunk or felted like that. Of course if I accidentaly put a woolen garment in the normal wash, because it somehow slipped in there, it was ruined aswell.
I watch Inga of Knittingtradions from Norway and she ways she washes all her wool garments in the washing machine on the wool cycle. I was shocked the first time I heard her say that!
In Canada, we use both metric and imperial measurements interchangeably as metric was formally introduced in the 70's and we get teased for it. But I laughed when you said your MIL's sweater needs 3" more in length but your sweater has 60cm of positive ease!!!! Too funny! So nice to see you and Kate together and laughing! Thanks for sharing!
I wash all my knits in the machine :) on a cold wool wash setting- I think it spins less (less movement) and you dont have the temp issue. If its naturally dyeed yarn you just need to make sure your soap is PH neutral (so the colour doesnt change) but otherwise any wool wash is fine :) so easy ! and because it spins the liquid out, stuff dries quicker too.
Wow so jealous. I would love to be there to sit and knit with you both! When you showed the indigo I thought it was a pepper plant. Thank you so much. ❤
Oh my gosh that story is WILD! I never would have believed it. Just goes to show you can't always read people The way you think you can. Very nice vlog. Your country is in my bucket list. Well it's number one on my bucket list ❤
