An author shouting out your dyed yarn inspired by her books - WORLDS COLLIDE! I also love these shrinking world experiences. 😊

The best part about knitting a big wooly sweater in the summer is how fast it dries after blocking. An author shouting you out is so cool! I think I fangirl over authors of books I love more than anybody else

@LaLayla99 23 дня назад

I'm not a "celebrity follower" or whatever the term is, but it's nice when someone whose work you love interacts with you. I followed Anne Rice on FB when she was alive and I occasionally commented on her posts. I literally squealed when she liked and commented on my comment! 😁 The yarn colors are beautiful, btw!

1:27 Taylor’s of Harrogate is amazing, if you ever get to visit Yorkshire, Taylor’s make Yorkshire tea (the best tea!) and they also are the same company as Betty’s, which is a traditional 1920s tea room for afternoon tea and baked goods. They make the most amazing patisserie, and they even have a cookery school at the Taylor’s factory where you can learn to make their famous fondant fancies etc. it’s an absolute institution, and you must visit ❤

Plow in - that’s the phrase that came to me when you were describing how you’re approaching this project and your knitting mojo “slump” I think that sometimes you just have to plow in and see what happens, if we make mistakes we rip, we frog, and we can do the same thing if we just plow in and do it and decide later if it’s what we like or want - it’s part of the journey

@bayareaknitter 23 дня назад

Wow!!! That’s so cool that the author shouted you out! I was almost expecting you to say that she ordered the yarn as well! 😅 The colors are absolutely gorgeous! Have fun with your colorwork! I think adding the bits of white would be a nice addition!

@LadyPatienceK 23 дня назад

The yarn colours are amazing! You should read the Stomlight Archive and do some colourways 😍 Then I could knit something beautiful while listening to the books, with the BlackPiper music playing in the background. (Yes, the first book has a soundtrack!)

I thought it would be fun to outfit everyone with Mitts. I found some Eddie Bauer wool (80% super wash merino, 20% alpaca) at Joann’s. The yarn is available online and at some retail locations.

Love your colorwork project; I do love colorowork. I find it “knits itself.” I bet you’re having dry heat - we (East Coast) have hot humidity, which makes all cotton shirts and towels wet all the time and feels as if a smothering hand has been clamped across your face. I long for sweater weather - so much more energy. Xx

@nokesbob2256 23 дня назад

I would like to do a colorwork sweater some day, and use the yarn that changes to different colors. I always forget what they call it. I agree about the too big necklines and I hate adding the collar on after you knit the sweater. I guess I'm set in my knitting ways! I am currently making another Bright Side sweater, because the pattern is fantastic and so easy to follow and each sweater I've made a little different. Different collar heights and hems and cuffs. This time I'm using a yarn that is so special to me, and I've saved it for like ten years, but realized I better get to using it. It's original Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light. The color is Victorian Gothic and they don't make it anymore. It's this charcoal black color with highlights of lighter charcoal. It's turning out beautiful.

I love those book nooks so much! I really want to get one and put it together. I think it would be so much fun or maybe even Christmas gifts for my kids who are grown-ups. I remember a long time ago I put together a tiny little general store And I loved it so much. So much fun! Love the colors of your sweater by the way I’ve also been in a knitting slump, but I think it’s coming to an end. I cast on a pair of socks for my 6 year old grandson and am working on them now. I’m in Reno btw and am feeling your heat but not quite as much - it’s only going to be 99 today.

Awesome that she gave you a shout out! I'd be over the moon about it as well. Yay you! As for the tea, I just have to share my latest find. I've just recently got back from a trip to Sydney, where it is currently winter and perfect tea weather, and I decided that on this visit, I'd try out a few things I'd never seen at home. I tried Taylors of Harrogate's Yorkshire Tea in Biscuit Brew and it is SO good. I'm usually an Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Jasmine Green Tea kind of girl. Occasionally lean into fruity teas. So I have no idea why this particular tea called to me, but it is absolutely not to be missed. Sadly, I can't find anywhere local that carries it, but it is available to be ordered online at a few places, and though it was a bit pricey, I have a box in my possession and couldn't be happier.
