Beauty in the Everyday | Knitting | Spinning | Weaving Vlog 

Me too, i admire people greatly who dont collect stash and wips. Hubby is such a guy, he sticks with one after the other...

Another lovely video. Thank you for a peaceful, enjoyable evening.

Love the sentiment that "I'm a work in progress just like all my other works in progress"! I will keep that in mind!

Your voice is amazing ❤

Love seeing Peaches in the videos! My WIPS are completely out of control. I was shopping my stash this afternoon and was astounded by the WIPS I found. The ones that I didn't even know what they were frogged and set aside to be washed to be rewound. The ones I was no longer interested in (either pattern or yarn) were set aside for frogging. The VERY few I had any remaining interest were brought forward to first place on my desk. We shall see what their fate may be after they sit there for a bit.

I really enjoy your videos. I too am recently retired and I am fully immersed in my fibre arts - knitting, spinning, weaving, sewing, etc…. I have a fair stash and lots of projects on the go. Watching you always reminds me to slow down and enjoy the process of crafting. It’s not a race!

I get overwhelmed with too many projects, but still enjoy a variety to choose from. Beautiful song and singing. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your video, Lisa. Welcome.🎉.❤.

I have a feeling not everyone creates the same way ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much! I love your singing!

You have a beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing all your wips. The sweater is coming out just beautifully, and the scarf is lovely. Seeing people take things off the loom always makes me nervous. 💚🧶💚

So glad you podcast often….you are a lovey soul❤

Love your podcast ❤ Thank you🙏🏻

Now that was a throwback sing-along. Quite enjoyable, thank you

love love the ending song brings back teenage memories was a maker more sewing than knitting i had my mom finish the things i started but i always loved knitted garments, my grand ma taught me to knit when i was young, there was always knitting in my life

Good for you for labeling your samples and projects. I always THINK I will remember.........then I can't!

I danced with my oldest son at his wedding to that song. You are a woman of many talents. Thank you for sharing them with us. 🍁

The scarf weaving is especially lovely!! And so is your singing voice! 🎉

beautiful woven shall/scarf, thank you for this look into your knitty life.

I didn’t think I could love your videos any more than I already did and then I heard your beautiful voice singing one of my favorite songs while capturing the beauty of my favorite season on video. Thank you! That brought me so much peace on a Sunday morning. …Suzanne

Dear Lisa, I think you have many talents 🎶

Thank you for another lovely video! A special thank you for the Joni Mitchell tribute at the end! My favorite!

I get so many projects going then I say no more until you finish these.... It's wonderful to get stuff done... Isn't it nice to have the time to do these projects without having to think about working ... Thanks Lord.

Thank you dear friend, for your time, friendship and your voice.... you made me cry, just beautiful. Ivana ❤

Clue 3 is gorgeous…but wait for 4!!

Gorgeous projects, you have a beautiful voice, thank you so much for all you shared. 🕊❤️

What a beautiful parade of WIPs, Lisa! I love your Arboreal sweater, and the scarf turned out gorgeous! That red singles spin makes me swoon. Your MKAL shawl is looking stunning! It's so much fun to see All.The.Things. I usually just have one main project, like a sweater, and maybe a side project like socks. Same with spinning. Any more and my brain can't cope. 😂 But I love seeing others with lots on the go. Keep well, Lisa!

Beautiful Icelandic fleece 💗🐏 Merci everything is so magnifique 😍

Loved spending time with you this afternoon. Grace to you and peace, Lisa ❤️🧶🎶🐑

Wow that scarf is beautiful. I don't have room to store so I try to buy for one or two projects. Your voice is so beautiful. You have a great week and enjoy this beautiful weather

Thank you Lisa for another wonderful episode. My favourite podcaster!

Lisa, I am right there with you with SO many WIPs. Thank you for making me not feel so alone in my overwhelm. 😂😅 They sure are lovely WIPs though!

Love listening to you. I really enjoy how passionate you are about fiber. I cant wait to retire and get to do something all the time. I dont weave, but I knit, quilt, cross stitch and crochet.

Beautiful singing, Lisa! Gorgeous woven scarf. I can definitely see the Klimt influence. I have way too many projects and stash for weaving, knitting , spinning and embroidering. Collecting stashes is a hobby in its own. 😂

Lovely weaving!

Lovely video again ! Loved the song at the end !

"Just the stuff in my immediate vicinity..." lol, oh I can relate 😂

I'm imagining the sleeves on that Jennifer Steingass sweater and the woven scarf are both done. Hopefully more of the spinning and other knitting is done too. Wow, this is my first watch of your videos. You have a lot of spindles!

Thank you so much for this little moment of calm.... I have so many old wips that are hidden in my home....one day I will either complete or frog and re-use the beautiful yarns. My current wips are several: I used to be that person that bought yarn, made a project and then bought more yarn. No stash either. But that was many years ago! As always, strokes for Peaches x

Seeing beauty in the everyday certainly lifts my spirit. And glad I'm not the only one who talks to bumblebees!☺

The scarf is gorgeous! The colors remind me of Malabrigo's yarns

Lovely episode. You have a beautiful voice!! I just got a jet black Islandic fleece at Minnesota Fiber Festival. It is absolutely beautiful! I also have a white Icelandic fleece yet to be cleaned. Thinking about using the Icelandic to make the Arboreal sweater like the one you are working on. Love your MKAL shawl. It is beautiful! Take care

🤗💖🤗🤗😃🍁🐑💖 enjoyed so much! PS- I have 14 knitting WIPs, plus whatever spinning and whatnot!

Oh Lisa, your Geogradient will become magnificent. I did not start, as i try to practise moderation in starting projects. But your version and creative decisions really are very beautiful, enriching the initial design very much. If ever i do a geogradient, ill be inspired from you...before that i would before want to finish my twist & turns...speaking of languishing wips...😊 A propos of spouses...my husband started knitting two years ago, wanted a productive hobby too, and he does wonderful stuff and we have a routine of outdoor knitting, taking a project and some seats or blanket, go to river or park with the bicycle and sit and knit.

Hi Lisa! Love your sharing your WIPs! I have so many (knitting alone, there are 32…) that I had to put them in a tub in the attic so that I could focus on one or two at a time. When I finish one, I go through the tub and pull out another. I’ve gathered so many going to fiber festivals in the years leading up to Covid, as I am sure you can relate! So now, I can simply shop my stash when I need a new project to work on! Your projects are all lovely, have fun working through them!

I’m definitely not a one project at a time person but I do try to keep my wips down. Something I try to do is keep about four within easy reach that I really want to finish. This gives me a bit of variety but I’m not overwhelmed. The others I would put out of the way so I don’t see them. When I finish a wip or two I would add new ones. On another note your voice is absolutely lovely and I think you should add singing as a regular part of your videos. It really goes with your RU-vid name Soulful.🥰

Dear Lisa, you're awesome and brave! Loved seeing all your wips, but I have to say that it's not that different from my own creative process. You're a multicraftual like me! There just aren't that many hours in the day for everything I want to do! And I'm temperamental, so different projects suit my different moods and making desires. Thank you for normalizing different creative processes like ours. I have a feeling not every one cr

Sweet Lisa, thank you for sharing. Your podcast is my favorite. If anyone was ever a process crafter, that’s you😊! More about the journey and less about the destination. But good idea to finish your beautiful scarf and Arboreal sweater. I’m a process crafter too and like having different projects started. I worry less about the destination as I get older. Your MKAL shawl is a beauty too. Did you ever consider spinning your washed fleece in a salad spinner? I do this sometimes and wonder if you think this is not a good idea. Enjoy your week and family.

I am exactly like you about 500 wips, whether it be spinning prepping, knitting, weaving, or crochet. lol, you're not alone in this xx

A lovely podcast, I particularly enjoyed your singing at the end. I notice you have discovered Becca in west Wales, she is a lovely calm person too. Less calm (but no less lovely!) is Ange of YarnNYarn - she likes her multiple WIP options but I think even she is feeling a bit overwhelmed at present (maybe it is just the time of year!).

Lol! I counted twenty projects there! That really does make me feel better about myself having just four at the moment 😁

This is hilarious ! I also have so many wip´s...I am following Roxane´s advice : rotate to motivate ! I guess we are just curious and excited about trying out something new...and then something new comes...Wishing you many FO before the new year !😀

Your geogradient is my favorite of those I've seen!

So many beautiful colours, patterns and textures in this video! I do have a lot of works in progress, but I do end up finishing everything, I just like to have the variety. I also need to have work projects and personal projects, so that increases the amount I'm working on at any time. Love your sweater, that is just beautiful! The song at the end was wonderful too ❤

Nice content, I also have quiet a few, I work on what makes me happy for the day. Most of the time shared time on at least 2-3 everyday. Some days I do nothing.

WOW! Lisa, your voice is beautiful. I've always wished to have a talent for music. My dogs don't mind my off beat voice. 😂 your woven scarf is just gorgeous! The Arboreal sweater is so pretty. I can't remember if it's handspun? I think so. I've had that pattern for a long time. I should make it. I could never be a monogamous crafter. There's too much I want to create. Thanks for the wip tour. ❤

Your weaving project is beautiful. I’m not into weaving now.I won’t say never. Lol I usually have one project on my needles and a spinning project. It could be on my Hansen or my spindles or both. You have a beautiful singing voice.

Also and most foremost i wanted to thank you for your spindle spinning explanations. Two weeks ago i had an initial live course and then got some fiber and started practising. After seeing your show yesterday morning suddenly it clicked with my drawing out the fiber (better preparation learned from you and so many more in the handling) and now i am sooo happily spindeling...🎉❤thank you

I really wish I was the kind of person who only bought enough for the current project and had no wips. Lol. I’m making peace with the fact that will never be me. I have a Jarod Flood wrap on the needles, a partially warped rigid heddle loom, 2 sock projects in various states of completion and we won’t talk about the number of filled spindles that are hanging out around my house. I just got back from the New York sheep and wool festival aka Rhinebeck. I’m still waiting to open those boxes. Lol. Lots of good fun waiting for winter fiber adventures. Big hugs!

I think we’re kindred spirits - same amount of wips 😂 I find that the changing seasons mean that I prioritise different projects and travel knitting changes my focus too. The light green stripe is genius in your Geogradient Shawl. I got a bit stuck on clue 3 - ripped it out and made my shawl into a square hap shape and I’m doing my own thing to make the square bigger and bigger xxx

I can so relate as I have projects galore in progress. All my spinning so far has been with hand spindles but I'm craving a wheel and loom now. All this started with wanting to spin wool for socks to knit. See what knitting and crocheting can lead to! What an inspiring vlog! Beautiful colors and the loom piece is gorgeous. The geogradient project is stunning and the arboreal sweater has techniques I haven't done before. Would love to try that. Your voice is beautiful and the song brought tears to my eyes as life while I'm caretaking my mom seems to be flying by. Taking up spinning during this time has been a blessing. Thank you for your wonderful content.

Hi Lisa, I have many wipes too, including several crochet. When I sample my fibre to see how it spins up I store that with the fibre and call it stash not a wip. I finished clue 3 just before 4 came out and then stopped. I’m going to work on other projects including Christmas gifts and a Stonecrop cardigan by Andrea Mowry. I’ll pick up my Geogradient shawl again for winter( I’m in Australia). Yours is looking beautiful. Love seeing what you are working on.

Your weaving is beautiful! I usually have several projects going in different fibers. Also I can’t work on a complicated one unless I’m alone coz my husband likes me to pay attention to him lol. But I can usually knit during tv time so that’s good!

Hi Lisa! thanks for sharing your wips with us. That is a LOT of projects going at once! I am amazed you get anything done. I usually have only 1 knitting project going at a time, but right now I have a blanket, a sweater, and a pair of socks. As for spinning... well, I have a lot of wips in that regard and let's not mention the fleeces that are halfway sorted/scoured/carded/combed... lol I cannot handle a huge number of wips as I get so overwhelmed I cannot do anything. So, sometimes I need to sit down and work on one wip until it is done, then pick the next one and work on that until it is done.... not easy when there are things I want to start, but I try to finish stuff eventually. your scarf is amazing and gorgeous! love the colors

This podcast was a really good one that I can completely relate to. I have many WIPs in knitting, spinning, crocheting, and even fleeces that need to be processed…. At this time I am a monogamous knitter trying to focus on finishing one thing at a time regardless if it’s a new project or a WIP that I want to finish. And stash? We just don’t have to go there…. 😂 Love the song you sang at the end. Joni Mitchell’s music speaks to my soul….❤

I have stash and a lot of it! I am also a multicrafter so it doesn’t help but since I have very limited space I tend to only have a WIP or two otherwise my family could not live properly in the house 😅 I would also lose too much interest in the projects if they are lingering for too long. I tend to leave aside projects I am working on for myself those for others are done better and quicker

It's good to be a multi Tasker, maybe do a walk around of all you've finished...more than I have!

Sorry for the typos,

WOW!! Lots of wips all are beautiful! I have lots to and decided that I have to finish some BEFORE I start anything new. I am of course having trouble with this, but I'm just about to complete a sweater that's been on my needles for a year. Thing is I don't like it much so I just want to put it down but O'm being tough and getting through it. I'm hold ing a vest pattern in my mind as a reward. 😉

Another enjoyable video. Always lovely to hang out with you. I do not have huge amounts of wips, but I do have more than one project on the go at any one time. I usually have one or two knitting projects, at least one weaving project, one or two sewing projects and one or two spinning projects (one on my wheel and one on my drop spindle, now that I see all that typed, I guess I have more on the go than I actually thought lol. I do try to start and finish one project at a time. For example I spent an entire week when on annual leave to start and complete a small waldorf doll, including clothes. With my knitting, if I start a pair of socks, I tend to work on them most to get them finished as they are a very easy project to do without thinking much, then go back to the bigger project I would more likely leave for a bit. So it is kinda one project at a time in one sense with projects on the go in between. My English paper piecing quilt is not a project I can work on solidly to get finished. It is such a big project it has to be done over time. It is also not something I consider to be thought of as a "fast" project, that is definitely a slow mindful task. That project has taken me a year so far already and will likely take me a further couple of years because I plan to hand quilt it too. It has been a few weeks since I have actually worked on it due to doing a small university course and having study to do :( yuck, work gets in the way of my crafting time lol T x

Thanks so much for sharing your WIPs and ongoing projects with us, Lisa! I have several myself and sometimes feel pretty scattered with them all, but just try to do what I can when I feel inspired-that’s all we can do, right? The creative spark needs to be there so we can enjoy what we’re working on! Anyway, quite brave if you to share with us☺️ I’ve just recently found your channel and really enjoy your podcasts. You are very inspiring and have such a natural way of sharing with us. Please continue as you can!

So lovely, as always Lisa! I'm definitely a many WIP kinda girl, so thank you for your honesty. Nothing to be embarrassed about. It's part of being creative. What kind of loom did you weave your beautiful scarf on? I can see it's an Ashford but what model is it?

I feel so much better about my wips. 😂.

I really enjoy your videos ... and as far as WIPS go mine are all over the place and I can't seem to help myself but start something new :D --- When I was in my late teens you shopped for a project bought those materials and finished it before moving on to the next project. There are times that I tell myself I want to return to that practice but I don't think it is a realistic goal 🤣 --- I was interested in knowing what your thoughts are on the knitters loom. There are so many options out there for looms, I was wondering what the difference was in that loom say over a rigid heddle loom. I am thinking about just going back to basics (from childhood days) and making a simple cardboard loom and make some small squares and go from there. Who knows when the thought processes will actually transform into a physical act but part of the fun I feel is in the contemplation.

Like you I have too many projects on the go I have 5 quilts I have to finish by the end of November all tops finished just need. To machine quilt them spinning don’t ask three alpaca fleeces to wash waiting for the warmer weather for that. And each wheel and most of my bobbins have something on them and we won’t talk about the embroidery or the rest of the knitting too much to even look at. I have quite a few shawl’s on the needles only find since I retired I no longer wear them.I find cowls off more use. I have a cardigan I started then I lost 20 kg so now decision is do I keep going or pull it out and start it smaller, some of my hand spun vests are now too big but love what I made and pulling out and remaking is not going to be the same. At least we. Have summer here to go. Through and if I leave the weight off I will definitely have. To make something smaller.oh well can’t get bored.

Wonderful projects ! Beautiful! I have a few fleeces I found I need to scour. How do you like to scour your fleece? I will have to scour outside, our old pipes would clog up if I did it in the basement like I used to.

Haha.. I do feel better about my WIPS you are terrible, you have one more than me. 🤣🤣😅😂🤣🤣 😁

Was it you playing with piano during the weaving?

What is the brand andstyle of the shuttle boat you used in your video ?
