Glad I wasn't the only one vlogging at the festival!! Lol. And "Dark like my soul" would totally be right up my alley too!!

@r.mcd2921 Год назад

Your vest is lovely. Looks like a sand painting.

@laurie2553 Год назад

What a fantastic vest!! I love the color / yarn choices, and how you changed up the textures and colors, it really does look painted. Was great seeing the 3 of you at the festival too!!

@leoniewilson5261 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your knitting world.

@christinevalentine3373 Год назад

The vest is great! I love the ‘painting’ of the vest, it looks really neat and like a watercolour. The gifts you each received and gave are very thoughtful and so suited to the person. Thank you for sharing your clean and jerk pics. It’s great to see women who are strong! And can knit too! Fantastic combination.

@elianaalfonso7703 Год назад

That dark red wool! ❤️❤️❤️

@songvo1563 Год назад

Way cool that you knit and snatch! I like to say I ❤to knit and lift (sometimes).

@barbarascott8276 Год назад

Thoroughly enjoyed every segment of this richly varied episode from the super-impressive weightlifting through the yarn festival (lovely music selection, btw), only to then discover you saved the best for last. That vest!!!! Brava, Melissa, you're amazing.

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Awww thank you Barbara 😊

@racheldiaz4936 Год назад

Thanks for sharing! I’m heading to a fiber fair in Asheville, NC next weekend and now I’m even more excited. Hopefully it’ll be cool enough to wear all the sweaters.

@Charliestothepoint Год назад

❤love your vest. Suits you perfectly.

@lindarose712 Год назад

Mel, your vlogs are consistently packed with so so much good stuff! Loved the footage of getting ready, then with Selma and Megha at the cozy home and festival, and then That Vest! Styled to perfection and inspiring me to root through my stash for combinations that might become a similar painterly piece. (Btw, I wrote “That Best!” Instead of Vest…seems correct 😂🧶) Happy to see your other projects come to life - all the given, received and purchased skeins are gorgeous!

@melmakesstuff Год назад

I’m so glad you enjoyed the vlog, thank you for your nice comment!! This vest is already turning out to be a favorite, I’ve been reaching for it every day since I finished it! Might need to make another one so it doesn’t wear out…

@Scout1052 Год назад

The vest is uniquely creative and looks like a fun garment to make and ware. Thanks for sharing your trip, knitting friends, and the festival. Well done you.

@chet1051 Год назад

LisaR: Your vest is gorgeous ❤ The painterly effect adds so much interest! I miss the days I was lifting every morning -So empowering physically & mentally- Thanks:) as always - I leave your episodes with something I didn't know before,or inspired by what you bring . It never gets old -the three of you form a friendship bc of fiber :) ❤

@bonniek.markham1148 Год назад

Great job again. This was fun. Thx

@streakyj2 Год назад

a few weeks ago, 7 of us local knitters drove over 3 hrs to the Adk Wool & Arts fest in Greenwich, NY [formerly the southern Adk sheep & wool], which is similar in size to Vt S & W--but you had more interesting food [no apple cider donuts at Greenwich this year--shocking!], but we had a few very interesting distillers , and of course tons of beautiful yarn. G'wich is much closer for us than Rhinebeck, and we like the more manageable size. yes, knitting/wool festivals are so good! also, your vest is excellent--i admit i was skeptical abt the colors all combined, but the 'painting' thing works so well!

@debrizzo7031 Год назад

So nice to see you 3 together! Thanks for sharing. Love the vest!

@elodi_rose Год назад

As a New England girl living and knitting on the opposite side of the world, this video really tied at my heart. There’s nothing quite like Vermont in October♥️🍁

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Agreed, fall here is really the best season ❤️

@Susi1406 Год назад

I love ❤️ what you did with the vest! So glad you had a great time at the festival.

@meganolivia6970 Год назад

I loved seeing your lifts! That was my favorite part of going to gym when I went there was the Olympic lifts. The vest turned out wicked 👌🏻 I love your idea behind it with painting colours, plus the colour choices were beautiful. Always love seeing you! 🤗

@jessicatressawell5970 Год назад

Oh my gosh, I just love your vest. Such a creative and artistic project! Loved your vlog of the festival. Thank you for sharing!

@malloriebiron5918 Год назад

The marling technique on the vest is awesome. I had a great time at VT Sheep and Wool this year. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@cathyjencks5107 Год назад

Lovely video! Your yarn choices are beautiful. I can’t wait to see what you make!

@suzanneskarsten3306 Год назад

It was so exciting getting to meet you all at the festival! I’m glad you made the trip over to Roma’s shop, hope you enjoyed the sausage, we just enjoyed some this morning! Happy knitting!

@TheKnittedBean Год назад

I really enjoyed that you included little bits of your life in this like the weightlifting. It's not something I would have known beyond your passing mention and it's super cool to see you using your body in that way to achieve something you enjoy, in the same way it's cool to watch you using it to dye yarn. And that house you guys shared ❤❤

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Thank you for the feedback - I’m never sure whether folks will like the general life stuff or not, I was a little iffy on including it but now I’m glad I did!

@kimsharpzook461 Год назад

Beautiful scenery

@Anji2866 Год назад

As always a beautiful episode! The 3 of you have given us such different flavours of the same festival. Amazing. Loved your vest and you wear it with great style.

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Thank you, I feel like I’ve always struggled to style vests, so your comment means a lot ❤️

@marybethirwin9684 Год назад

I am so happy you three met. I watch all 3 podcasts, although I am a bit behind these days, and you are all wonderful knitters. Your vest is so sweet. As for intarsia, Suzanne Bryan has some good tutorials. I discovered them while working on my TKGA Masters which has a challenging intarsia assignment. Happy knitting!

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Ooo yes, she has great tutorials - thanks for the suggestion!

@emilythomas6776 Год назад

You did great with the vlog. Loved the peek into your Olympic lifting! Would love to know how/why you got into that, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE listening to you talk about yarn and your projects! ❤️❤️❤️

@elizabethborajkiewicz6100 Год назад

OMG I love your vest, it is so creative and beautiful.

@patriciapamponette9841 Год назад

Mel your vest came out awesome, I love it.❤

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Thank you 🥰

@theresalucas776 Год назад

I love Goosey Fibers! I received some yarn a couple months ago . Talented dyer

@soniaboudeau2140 Год назад

Magnifique, Mélissa! Merci pour votre vidéo. J'ai voir vos ouvrages. 😘☕🥞

@kellyramos4140 Год назад

Oly lifting is exciting! I legit noticed calloused hands from lifting in a previous video but didn’t want to assume you actually lifted weights. She knits and lifts just like me 😊

@melmakesstuff Год назад

I try to keep my hands presentable for the videos but you know how it is sometimes! I wonder how many other lifting knitters are out there, I think Marce from Hey Brownberry has posted on IG about lifting too 🥰

@micheleellis3338 Год назад

Western MA. has the Fiber Festival of New England at the Eastern States Exposition Nov. 4,5 it’s a really nice festival.

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Ooo, I did see this on the calendar and I’ve never been to it… maybe this will be the year? Not like I need more yarn though, that’s for sure 😂

@stlonormandie7352 Год назад

Nice trip. Thank you from France

@PoodleCream Год назад

You are amazing!

@Lisamakes Год назад

So jealous! I hope I get to spend a weekend with you gals someday. ❤

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Me too Lisa! I feel like we could easily be convinced to come to Spain for one of the great festivals there 😉

@Lisamakes Год назад

@@melmakesstuff done!

@valerielachance6983 Год назад

I am jealous of your overhead squat mobility! Olympic weightlifting is so much fun.

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Awww, thanks! When I started I couldn’t overhead squat the barbell so this is a vast improvement 😂

@karatepop Год назад

Ah! I just started lifting and I love it.

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Right?! It’s so fun!

@keebir6365 Год назад

Your vest is a work of art….it DOES look “painted”. Great experiment and vision.

@auntylinda7640 Год назад

Thanks for taking us along to the festival Mel. How on earth do u manage not buying everything? Those yarns looked yummy! Love the vest and all the yarny presents. I would love every one of them. Hugs from Shetland xxx

@melmakesstuff Год назад

I feel like I went a little overboard already, but I suppose it could have been worse, haha!

@Sew_Learning Год назад

Really, really enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing this with us! Love your vest and look forward to seeing the garments you make with your new yarn haul. New sub here. Sending best wishes from Down Under💖💐🌺🌸🇦🇺😎

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Yay, welcome Rhonda!

@jandkcon Год назад

Sweet vest-like Painted Hills ❤ love the Purl texture as well🍁

@eprohoda Год назад

hiya!. Y-this is good masterpiece~)

@lhol3342 Год назад

Mel, What is the name of the pattern and designer for the vest you made? I’ve been looking for one to knit.

@cindyfrye3026 Год назад

No wonder your upper body has so much muscle. I actually saw someone wearing a and knit pullover sweater today. It was cute and well loved, worn a lot.

@joyceripianzi Год назад

Massachusetts ya! I’m wondering if you have a favorite LYS? I’m in wilmington. I hear about great LYSs in western mass but not so much in the Boston suburbs.

@melmakesstuff Год назад

Hey neighbor! I’m just north of Worcester so we’re sort of in the same boat. For workhorse yarns I’ve been going to Another Yarn in Burlington, but I agree there’s no-one stop LYS around here. I did make the trek to Circle of Stitches in Salem for the Harrisville yarn and it was amazing, but getting there was a huuuuuge pain. Have you been to WEBS in person?
