What a wonderful gift! A Soulful Spinning video to relax to while I knit my socks on a lovely fall morning. So good to see you! ☕🧶🍂🥰

@jackieperriment1153 8 месяцев назад

Dear Lisia Sending love to you too. Thankyou for sharing a wonderful and peaceful video.

Just wanted to pop in to tell you that you have a beautiful singing voice! And of course, as always it was lovely spending a little time with you 🍂🍁🧶

What a out a blanket to mimic how the colors appear in the photo of the sunset. Like a temperature blanket.

@sandraharper1184 8 месяцев назад

I think there are many of us who compare ourselves and feel like we don't measure up. We need to remember to slow down deep breathe and enjoy whatever we are doing. I need to remember this also. I enjoy your podcast so much and hope to be able to come close to your spinning ability.

Beautiful wool 💗🐑. Merciii

@barbaragaspard1989 8 месяцев назад

My, my, you have such willpower. In great spite of all of the fiber waiting to be processed, I would have cast on those socks so fast that I think that I would have made myself dizzy. I love socks, and so does the hubby, I enjoy you sharing, very inspiring.

@debcigna6732 8 месяцев назад

thank you for the new video, and sharing the washing of that beautiful fleece, hope you enjoy the spin

@gailstringer1158 8 месяцев назад

"I really should be cleaning the house, but this is way more fun"!!! Love your video, as usual. You had me laughing out loud when you were head-down snuggling into your fleece. What a wonderful way to start my Saturday - thank you, Lisa!

@andreamarshall9677 8 месяцев назад

Lisa, your LITLG yarns will keep you going all winter thinking of your lovely vacation time at the lake, as you knit away on something beautiful. Enjoy!

I’m thinking if the Inkling shawl by Helen Stewart! She’s Curious Handmade on Ravelry.

@agillsfo 8 месяцев назад

I look forward to seeing you! As a retired English teacher, I really appreciate your book reviews! But as a budding spinner, I love watching you with your fleeces! I’m not going down that rabbit hole though!! Spinning and knitting are enough for my old bones!! Thanks so much for all you do!! ❤

Love Life in the Longgrass yarns/dye. I knit my 1st pair of socks the end of 2022 int🐑o 2023 using LFITLG yarn colorway Hearth. They turned out beautiful! I will be buying from them again! Enjoyed your RU-vid and look forward to more. Best knitting, Carrie from Northern San Francisco Bay Area. 😘😘❤🐑🍵🪡🧵🧶

I just love the remembrance yarn for your vacation. I bet you could do a beautiful shawl. Can't wait to see coffee socks too.

@therepublicofme 8 месяцев назад

So many special moments in this video. I had my headphones on while you were spinning and that song is so beautiful. Also, you singing and hugging the wool.... balm to my soul ❤❤❤

@roxanneash4091 8 месяцев назад

My fiance thinks I'm nuts when I just sit and look and touch locks of a fleece until he asks me if he should leave the room so "we can be alone" lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one enamored by wool... Thank you for sharing you fibre experiences with all of us your videos have helped me immensely as a new spinner and fibre prep person.

@carolinvonfritsch5312 8 месяцев назад

What really got to me in today, watching your lovely show, that you bought from Dye for Yarn, which is made in the area my family lives in northern Bavaria...small world! Happy spinning and knitting!

Good morning dear Lisa! Combing wool is so, so satisfying and combing Corriedale especially so (but, am I biased? Lol) Thank you for the fibery visit ❤

@staciehite6834 8 месяцев назад

Chandi at Expression Fiber Arts has some lovely shawls and shalankets that would be gorgeous with your new yarn.

@timothychandler1725 8 месяцев назад

Those yarn are very beautiful 😊. While on your trip and watching it. I remember someone shared that an island on one of the great lakes. They have no cars on it, and the only way to get around is by bicycle and horse-drawn carage. I thought that would be fun to visit 😕.

@pafainsw 8 месяцев назад

Really loved this weeks vlog. I may just be inspired to finally start washing a rather large stash of fleece I have. Also reminded me to add the sock book to my Amazon wish list! Thanks!

@npepperc4437 8 месяцев назад

I think those yarns that you chose to buy match the scarf that you have on in the video perfectly 😂 just call that a happy accident ❤

@debcigna6732 8 месяцев назад

love your shawl wowza!!!!!!!

@teresadiaz9336 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful episode! I recently bought Shawls by Melanie Berg a gorgeous book of shawls. Her Abuelito would be perfect for your Lake shawl. She uses 3 colors. But easily you could incorporate all of your colors. 😃🌸

@maryherbert9082 8 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this video. I finished a shawl I was knitting while watching (using yarn I purchased at the Wis. Sheep and Wool Festival !!! - Natural BFL). I love your color choices from your Michigan trip. Beautiful.

@carolharrington2014 8 месяцев назад

Wonderful episode! Lisa, you have a beautiful voice!! I was just at the Minnesota Fiber Festival and I picked up a black Icelandic fleece and a Gotland lamb fleece. They are both beautiful! I missed the Wisconsin Fiber Festival this year-planning on going next year for sure. Take care!

@lindas5964 7 месяцев назад

I’m obsessed with LITLG yarns. Their shipping is very reasonable (free I think?) and fast considering it comes from Ireland. It’s so beautiful I almost feel pain when I look at it. It’s that beautiful.

@kimhines9091 8 месяцев назад

You need to watch the latest episode of Fruity Knitting. They interviewed a fellow who embroiders on his knitting. It was a wonderful interview. He does amazing work! Also, Madeline has finished her Coffee Break socks and they did a little fashion show featuring the socks and Andrea's sweater.

@SoulfulSpinning 8 месяцев назад

I have been saving that episode to enjoy! Aren’t they wonderful?

@amandaanderson6242 8 месяцев назад

I was enjoying your podcast while knitting on my clue3 and couldn’t believe it. I have also just bought the mingling daisies pattern and I’m going to knit it with a handspun yarn that’s one ply painted Polworth braid in pale pinks and blue, plyed with a natural merino. I thought a pale coloured shawl would be good for summer, we’re having a cool spring here in South Australia.

@dawnanderson1443 8 месяцев назад

Hello, I would keep the bobble in the middle. It brings the colors together. I really like what you are knitting. I loved watching you wash up to spinning the yarn. Thank you for sharing this. I knit and crochet. I also do a lot more crafts. It keeps my life interesting and I teach my grandchildren to make things.

@miche_line 8 месяцев назад

Another lovely episode, Lisa. You always manage to bring me joy and peace with each episode you post. Both the fleece and the shawl are gorgeous! I have been itching to cast a new shawl lately. Some of my favorites: Lang Ayre by Gudrun Johnston (probably the one I will cast on first) Fantoosh! by Kate Davies Designs Unciaby by Lucy Hague Seasons Shawl by Tyne Swedish Geweef by Karen Cronjé Ode to Scotland by Julia-Maria Hegenbart Dohne by Gretha Mensen Ziggy Shawl by Joji Locatelli So many choices, not enough time! 😂

@SoulfulSpinning 8 месяцев назад

So many pretty patterns you have listed there! Thank you. 🤗

@RythmnStitches 8 месяцев назад

So many shades in one fleece. God has blessed us with such wonderful giving creations. I am looking forward to seeing your Mingling Daisies shawl as that is on my list too. Thank you for this episode 💕🙌🏿🫶🏿😁

@Barnswallowcreates 8 месяцев назад

I always love your podcasts and look forward to the next one! Two blanket patterns you might like for your LITLG yarn are the Bits and Bobs blanket by Kay Jones or The No Purl Rib by Purl Soho. I have made both holding the yarn double with a neutral from Drops Nord. Have fun 💕 Beautiful inspirations

@SoulfulSpinning 8 месяцев назад

I’ll check them both out! I love the suggestions 💕

@carolinvonfritsch5312 8 месяцев назад

Oh so beautiful is your LITLG yarn...you could look at shawl pattern Violet & Verbena, but your colors also reminded me of patterns by Ambah O'Brien, maybe something like her Solistice Wrap...

@lindas5964 7 месяцев назад

I’m super interested in embellishing and or embroidering my knits. I’m currently 3/4 of the way through “Sky Map” shawl. A pattern by Emily Foden (love her designs!) that is basically a canvas for embellishing stars or moon or other celestial objects onto a plain knitted background fabric. My local yarn shop lady suggested adding a few tiny glow-in-the-dark beads which I’ve done and love it!

@leslieambailey 8 месяцев назад

Lisa, you certainly do not fall short in terms of humanity (the entire scope thereof)! You’re a beautiful soul. And your spinning and knitting are also top-notch. I don’t have the Nicky Epstein book, but I have knit her tree of life blanket and have used that amazing motif in other knitted things (like a baby bib and a washcloth). Watching you spin to a song so dear to my heart was very affecting. Thank you, sweet friend. Do you think you may ever make a permanent move to your lakeshore? The Habitation Throw by Helen Stewart would be beautiful in your new yarn. (Somehow I have three socks on needles right now!)

@SoulfulSpinning 8 месяцев назад

I would love to be near the lakeshore! Maybe someday… Thank you so much for the music. Take care. Love, Lisa 🤗

Oooh, check out Kelly Menzie’s ‘Bated Breath’ shawl. It’s designed for a fade, and your lakeshore colors would be lovely!!

@SoulfulSpinning 8 месяцев назад

Wow, that’s a beautiful pattern!

@angieanderson6082 8 месяцев назад

@@SoulfulSpinning isn’t it? I tested the DK version for her and loved it. It’s a beautiful mix of relaxing garter stitch and lace. I found using stitch markers at the lace repeats VERY helpful.

@jampotts5730 8 месяцев назад

lovely video, and I would rather be playing with fibre than doing housework. I can see that long grass wool in a blanket with wide bands (4 inch) of different stitch patterns radiating out from the centre, made in a a similar way to the mkal.

@SoulfulSpinning 8 месяцев назад

That’s a lovely idea! Thank you.

@robynreid3027 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video, I watched it as I worked on my MKAL! We have a house by Lake Taupo, which has long been a source of embroidery etc etc inspiration, so I love the yarns you bought! What about Stephen West's Shawlography, that uses a range of colours and textures? You have to use them all in it! Love your shawl, mine more spring pinks, blues etc. Incidentally I'd love to do some spinning but must do MKAL. You achieve so much! No comparison needed for you, Lisa, you are an inspiration!

@lauriew6623 8 месяцев назад

wondering what type of combs you have/like, or any suggestions... thanks so much for taking time to podcast! love watching, esp since i'm in the process of learning some of that fibery stuff 😊

finally broke down and ordered my valkyrie extra fine combs. they just arrived and i love them! can't wait to use them. i think i'm going to put some ashford finishing wax on them first. just wanted to thank you again for the tip. @@SoulfulSpinning

@erikagreenwell9892 8 месяцев назад

@shaunastitches 8 месяцев назад

Your LITLG yarn would be perfect for either the Fragmentation Shawl or Shifting Chevrons Shawl (both by Stephen West). If I recall they both call for seven skeins/colors and that would be perfect!

@SoulfulSpinning 8 месяцев назад

Shifting Chevrons is on my short list. He’s having a sale this weekend too! Thank you 😊

@carolinvonfritsch5312 8 месяцев назад

Maybe also the Amy Palko Pattern, forgot the name, could be really nice in your colors

@wildcottageknitting 8 месяцев назад

Enjoy your LITLG yarns!! I’m happy to have helped ‘enable’ you to try some 😊 I went to check my favourites in Ravelry to find some pattern suggestions for you, but LOL as I looked I started to want to cast on things, & I really mustn’t! 😂 So I had to stop before I found a good suggestion for you 😂 xx

@lindas5964 7 месяцев назад

Sorry I’m taking up all the space in the comment section but I wanted to add that there is a shawl pattern in “encircled forms” (LITLG) called “lantern shawl” I want to make but a reviewer on Ravelry said it was nearly impossible. Undaunted I still plan to try it but if anyone has tried it please comment and let me know your experience please!
