Wool and Wine - We are three friends, Tammi, Claudia, and Janet, who love all things knitting and great wine. We started our podcast in June 2022 so we could share our creativity with other knitters and makers. In each episode we discuss what we are wearing, any finished objects we've completed since the last episode, all works in progress, some gorgeous acquisitions (yarn for more knitting!), and there is usually a discussion about dream knitting. We often discuss any issues we've had during the knitting of any of our projects and what was done to resolve them. Occasionally, we discuss sweater surgery, what was wrong and how we made it something we love. At the end of every episode we taste and discuss a great bottle of wine.
Everyone is welcome to join us! We don't discuss anything religious or political and, hopefully, we don't have any discussions that could be considered a trigger for anyone.
I bound off the stitches per pattern but ignored the instructions to knit flat. Instead, on the next round I cast on 5 stitches (backwards loop) alternating light and dark and continued in pattern. When you reach the steek stitches just continue the colors you cast on with. I reinforced the steek with crochet before I cut it. I did this before starting the ribbing frame. It worked perfectly.
So much inspiration ladies. I almost cheered out loud when I saw all those finished pressed flowers. Thanks for taking the time to record - really enjoyable
Greetings from New Zealand. I like your episodes because you make sweaters and I get inspiration from them. And, without upsetting the other lovely women, I just love Claudia. 😊
Claudia here, oh my gosh, thank you so much! I am truly honored! I am speechless! Thank you so much for watching, and I'll smooth this over with the other two.😁
"Je ne sais quoi" translates to "I don't know what." It is that something that you can't quite put your finger on, but you know it is there and it makes all the difference. That little something-something.
Thank you ladies, love your podcast and all the beautiful knits. I bought yarn for a Letho years ago, so maybe it’s now it will happen. Keep knitting 😊
You have inspired me again. Such nice sweaters and I wrote names down. I may have to cast on more sweaters. Thanks for the wonderful podcast! Have a great week.
Love to be greeted first thing in the morning by a notice that I can listen to your calm and happy voices and see more evidence of your prolific yarn goodness. I get such inspiration from your choices!
Tammi, your Letho looks beautiful on you! I finished mine a couple of weeks ago, but haven’t had a chance to wear it because I keep traveling to hot and humid places. Thanks for inspiring me to cast on- it was such a quick and fun knit!😊 I might make another for your knit a long, if I can come up with another good yarn combo.
I always enjoy your podcasts and watch them right away! You all make such beautiful sweaters. I was wondering what do you all do with the leftover yarn? Do you have any projects that you made with leftover scraps?
Another fabulous episode, I don’t know how you do it. I have been working on a sweater for a two year old for what seems like forever. You amaze me at the amount, variety, and pure gorgeousness of all your knits. You must share your knitting secrets sometime.
Secrets? I guess our biggest secret is that we bounce ideas off of each other. Honestly, everybody has a pretty good idea of how to put colors together and patterns to knit. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for a fabulous podcast ladies, always love to see your gorgeous makes. Those jackets are going to look amazing, can’t wait to see them started. ❤🧶🥂x
Tammi, The Elegant Ewe is my local yarn shop! Glad you were able to visit it. I've worked with Making Tracks yarn and enjoy it. The Junction Fiber Mill in Vermont makes Making Tracks, and have their own podcast....check it out.
As usual, it’s another highly inspiring knitting podcast. Beautiful Pressed flowers cardigan and pullover and such a cool Letho. Can’t go without mentioning how gorgeous that sparkle yarn that Janet used for the vest, i think. Absolutely gorgeous! 😊
Loved this episode! I purchased the pattern Bee Beautiful after I watched your podcast. 😃I loved both of your sweaters Claudia and Janet so much! Tammi your Letho is gorgeous! All sweaters were beautiful!!❤
Every time I feel I’ve lost my sweater mojo you lovely ladies blow my mind! Thank you very sincerely for not only sharing sizing , needles and yarns but also including your tips, tricks and modifications! And you modeling your finished sweaters is SO helpful! I’m going to be considering the KAL…..beautiful! Wonderful podcast (as always!)
Wow, thank you! We're super happy to be able to share our experience with you. And we're super glad you appreciate it. Yes, join our KAL! I'm sure we will be sharing our lessons learned along the way.
I Just Bought The Pressed Flowers Cardigan Last Night! I'm Wrapping Up Some Much Neglected Wips, Then I'm Going To Be Late To The Pressed Flowers Cardigan Party. 😅 Better Late Than Never I Guess! 🫶 Love To You All!
Starfire, Great to hear that you bought the pressed flowers pattern. You will love it!!! We’d love to see a picture of your finished project when you get it done. Thanks for sharing! Love to you!! 🥰🧶🍷
