I personally work on what is bringing me joy. My hobbies are my stress relievers and I have no judgement on how that looks for people. Have a million projects if you like! I enjoy seeing what you are up to and would love if you never had to worry about what you show us. I just enjoy seeing what you are working on and what is bringing you joy!

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

Thank you so much. All creative people often work in their own ways. Hobbies should bring joy and mot stress!

@ailienrhijnsburger5178 20 часов назад

I completely agree with you! Some people thrive on having lots of choice and the ability to work short stretches on a project before they switch to another. Other people thrive on having fewer projects and less yarn in their stash. Who are we to judge. Please, you do you. I love you just the way you are!

@AnneBurton-fs1un 11 часов назад

The “overwhelm” is real! I have a deep (DEEP) stash of yarns and fibers - and patterns and fabric. I love having options about what I am called to work on. It’s the process that appeals to me, not necessarily the product, although I like having a project finished. Sometimes the planning satisfies my creative itch and once the project begins I lose interest. I am more excited about Tour de Fleece this year than I have been in years past and I’ve enjoyed getting ready and re-exploring some of the lovely fibers I’ve gathered in the past. Now is their time to shine!

Don’t you dare let any negative Nellie bother you!!!! I adore your shows and, I’ll admit, I’m the same way- lots of projects, but they make me happy!! Keep up the good work!!!!

@lindsaysknitdrinkrepeat 2 дня назад

There is only math IF you want to replicate it. However, dying is my rabbit hole. Once I started I fell in love. I’ve let my kids (the ones I mentioned in my below comment lol) dye sock yarn from knit picks when they were 3 and 5 with bowls of dye (mostly jaquared), a spoon, and all set out on plastic wrap. It’s already presoaked in citric acid to hold the dye, and then they just paint the skein. You then roll up the plastic wrap around the yarn then microwave to set the colors for a few minutes, then let cool if you dont chose to flip. They are my PRETTIEST SOCKS I HAVE. And with this you dont have much bleeding of colors, so they were exactly like what they painted on them. So much fun for a group activity if you have a few people you want to invite over for craft night!

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

Thank you for this. I think I am making it a bigger deal than it needs to be. Thanks for the tip about soaking in citric acid first. I bet it was loads of fun for you and your kids!

@torifgonyer9871 День назад

I think part of being a creative person is having many interests. This leads, at least for me, to many, many projects, each with a different technique, etc. This gives my very busy brain a chance to switch between what's driving my heart at that moment. Don't let people make you feel conscientious about how many projects you have. Isn't part of the joy in making the exploration what makes us unique? So happy to see a new episode from you!

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

It is important for me to follow my inspiration. This isn’t a job after all. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Take care. 💕

@debbiedreger5290 2 дня назад

You are my favourite podcaster on YT! I can relate with the size of your stash - I have enough to last me till I am 200! Regardless, it brings me joy and you inspire me to get to it and create. Thank you 💕

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

I know I am not alone! I am happy I have the investment in material to last a lifetime. 🥰

@tnknitter 2 дня назад

I always have around 10 projects going between knitting, crochet, weave and spinning as well as some slow stitch and kawandi. Eventually they all get done and when I have several finish at the same time, people are amazed on how productive I have been. So funny!! I think a mix of projects keeps your mind interested. We all know that boredom sets in with a project and having others to work on keeps me away from surfing on the net. Keep on with your multiple projects and start as many as you want!!

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

I love having so many things to work on. I never get bored. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the shout out and adding the links to my info, I really appreciate it! I just realized we are both in the Midwest, and yes being a teacher means I tend to need to be hyper organized-LOL

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I’m retired from teaching and can tell by your terrific layout of the calendar. Your students are very lucky to have you. Happy spinning . 💕

Perfect weekend! Soulful Spinning and Republic of Me back to back! Thanks Lisa!

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I’m so glad to keep you company for a little while. Happy Sunday!

@leslieambailey 9 часов назад

Your batt is perfectly lovely. I can hardly wait to see how it spins-up! Enjoy dyeing the Polwarth/Tussah! That’s should spin like butter …

@lynmontel1724 День назад

Absolutely Love you Batts Lisa. My heart was dancing as I watched you playing with those colors and fibres! 💞 Its been way to long since I dyed fibre and had a play!! 🎉 In a workshop I did we had a mystery bag of fibre, we spun whatever came out next. Then we made a scarf changing the stitchas we came to each color, even swapped from knitting to crochet. It was sooo much fun and liberating. Have fun spinning them 😃

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I feel like a kid with a new box of crayons. 🖍️

@andreamarshall9677 День назад

Yay to dyeing!! Get yourself a big plastic Rubbermaid tote, put all your dyestuffs and equipment, and you can just take out the tote, and you are ready to dye on dye day. Mine has been my favorite way to keep the dyeing efficient, and easy to set up clean up. Joy comes from then deciding what to name your newly dyed braids! Have fun. I tend to dye haptically (no planning ahead, just dig in and make color decisions as I work in progress)-I like low water immersion dyeing, and Saran wrapping/microwaving…..having some syringes is a great way to add color in small amounts, too….lots to explore!

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I have all the things I need I think. I love the tote idea! Low immersion is the way I am going to go at first. I’m excited and trying to have a sense of play and joy. Thank you 💜

@jessicawright1656 День назад

Thanks for another great episode. Try having fun with dying before you worry too much about the math. I always love to see what you’re working on. This is my favorite channel on RU-vid.

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

Thank you, Jessica. Blush 😊 I think experience is the best teacher.

@KathiTrujillo-kn6qn День назад

I too have enough yarn to last me until the apocalypse! I'm doing a No Buy July while spinning for the Tour de Fleece. Anything to stop my consumerism madness!

@carolenorman1457 20 часов назад

Hi Lisa I always get happiness when I see you have a new podcast. You have inspired me to get my blending board out and create some floof! I dye my own fleece with a small vegetable steamer. I did an online course with Hilltop Katie, which is very practical and I highly recommend and not expensive. It’s so much easier to watch someone do it rather than read from a book - much less intimidating. ❤

@SoulfulSpinning 12 часов назад

I agree! Watching someone do it demystifies the process.

@isabelle.duchatelle 15 часов назад

Dear Lisa, always a pleasure to see you popping up in my subscriptions ! And I am happy to see I am not alone fighting the "new new new". The socks are so precious and the spinning part so inspirational. I am always amazed at fractal spinning ! Enjoy Tour de Fleece and Tour de France (difficult to get away from the current sad news here) ❤

@SoulfulSpinning 11 часов назад

My heart is with you, Isabelle. Your honest talks about your “no buy” has really got me thinking. I thank you for that. Take care. 😘

Hi, Lisa. Thank you for your video. ❤ Best wishes to you!

@lindsaysknitdrinkrepeat 2 дня назад

3 ply sock yarn! That sure is a challenge. I can do 2 ply sock yarn but that is super cool for a challenge to do! My next spinning tool will be a support spindle for laceweight to do that :) I am currently spinning for TDF hand dyed cloud top (it came with my espinner from the whoolery so its a mix lol) from each of my kids. 4oz each I weight out,and let them pick the colors. Sylvia (8yo) choose 14 different colors lol. They arnt bad though and Im excited. I’ve just started spinning hers and my son’s (10yo) roving is currently cooking in the dye pot haha😅

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

My sock yarn will not be fingering weight for sure, but I have 8.5 ounces so a sport or even a light worsted will make a nice pair!

@etienne6916 2 дня назад

that's a beautiful braid! fractals are really fun to spin! :) it get very wild with colors so sometimes it might be hard to find a pattern for, but in my opinion it's very worth it :) enjoy your tour de fleece :)

@0mNomNinja 2 дня назад

I just spun my first fractal and also just got my first Inglenook braids from the last update! The fractal was so much fun! Separating the colors into little piles is very satisfying and then you get to switch colors so often that it never gets boring.

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

I am excited to try it. The fiber from Inglenook is so Good!

@SBVancouver День назад

Chemknits tutorials on RU-vid has great videos on different dyeing techniques

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I’ve seen a few and they are very good! Thank you. 💕

@beverleylawton6899 14 часов назад

Thank you, Lisa, for a wonderful video (again). I appreciate all the work you put into creating these wonderful windows on your crafting world. I’ve been spinning my TDF combo spin while I watch. Your spinning and also your fabulous battlet making are amazing. Have a great Tour. I hope the fractal spin goes well…I was nervous of it once but it’s straightforward really, and whatever you create will be delightful! 😊

@SoulfulSpinning 4 часа назад

I’m excited to see how it will look. Happy Spinning!

@garlandharvie5373 День назад

Fractal yarns are so much fun to spin!!!😊

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I’m looking forward to it! Thank you. 💕

@timothychandler1725 День назад

Those colored brades look so fun to spin up. I had someone said to me when I was just starting spinning and wanted to dye wool. They had me go to the store to buy all different kind of Kool-Aid drink packets to use as a cheap dye. It was so fun to do, and if you have a little white wool and try it. Lisa let me know what you think 🤔 about kool-aid drink mix as a dye.😊

@susandorrington7623 День назад

You have such gorgeous 'stuff' in your stash : ), I love all of it! I hope you video your fractal spin and/or vlog your TdF spinning. I have never done a fractal spin myself but I have watched a few YTers do it and I am mesmerized by the whole thing. I don't have the materials to do it myself but I can dream, lol. Thanks for reminding me about the Ravelry group for spinners - I need to go join. Enjoy your fibery fun!

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I am planning to record little vlogs over the next few weeks! Thanks for tuning in. I hope you have a good week. 💕

@ellenhenrie4826 2 дня назад

This spring I bought my first fleece. I've scoured it, and next step is dyeing (another first) and then carding different colors together to make heathered shades. Jamieson's of Shetland color sample book is my inspiration. I got Greener Shades dye. Will see how it goes! I look forward to seeing what you create with your color experiments.

@barbarahudak8496 13 часов назад

Color theory is very interesting, isn’t it! Lots of science which I was terrible at in school! 😂 I just ordered the book for book study, sounds interesting. So I’ll be late to the show… Also, checking out the color theory books! Love adding to the library! Found some good prices at Abe Books. 😊 Happy Fourth of July! 🎇🎆

@therepublicofme День назад

How fun was it to watch you blend the colors..... and needless to say that straight away I started looking into electric drum carders :) ❤

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

It is so much fun! Leaving both hands to feed the fiber makes it very easy. Yes, you need one. 🥰

@therepublicofme День назад

@@SoulfulSpinning when I file the invoice.... I'm sure Mario will thank you personally 🤣

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

@therepublicofme You’re welcome. 😘

@colleenraymond623 День назад

Hi, Lisa. I just cast on the Swan Lake socks yesterday!😃I have had the project waiting for a while, but want to wear them to a picnic mid July so best get to work on them. Your socks from the book are gorgeous! I used to be a monogamous knitter but in recent years feel like I've taken on too many 'ideas' and built up a significant stash. I wonder if it's because I watch a few knitting podcasts that inspire me continuously. I'm almost relieved that my attempts at learning to spin have not taken hold. I think Sticklebacks (?) are a type of fish. I enjoy your podcast and your book review idea!

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

Yes, watching knitting podcasts and following knitters in social media makes it difficult not to want to cast in everything! It’s too bad that it takes so little time accumulating materials and so much time making the thing. You’ll be surprised how fast those colorwork socks knit up.

@inarikun1348 Час назад

Do you have the book, "Doubleweave Revised & Expanded" (The Weaver's Studio" by Jennifer Moore? I feel like that has stunning examples of how to use color in terms of making fabric. I personally focus on undyed fibers for lace making, but I did make an inkle loom so I will eventually check out some card weaving for my spun yarn. After looking at that book, I have so many ideas and direction on what I want to make for future projects. Thank you for sharing your lovely self. I'm cheering you on your Tour de Fleece challenge!

@garlandharvie5373 День назад

I use Landscape Dyes and the colors are fabulous!!

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

They have the acid built in, is that right? I’ll check them out. Thank you!

@pathowes32 2 дня назад

Hi Lisa, I have fallen down the support chicken hole!!! I am working on number 4 chicken. I can think of so many people to knit one for😂. They are so cute, Im not sure I can give them away.. I have wanted to dye fiber or handspun yarn. Maybe this summer. Enjoy your summer

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

Resistance is Futile when it comes to that chicken! I have plenty of left over wool from carding etc. to fill quite. few. I bet they looks so cute in handspun 🥰 Do you have your chickens in Ravelry?

@pathowes32 2 дня назад

Not yet😂

@dawnanderson1443 2 дня назад

I have an oooover stash as my husband would say . I tend to say I can't have enough or I need a color I don't have so I need the yarn. Either that or I dye the yarn that I need. Or I will dye and spin. I say it is my craft that makes me happy and keeps me from being crabby it's his choice. LoL!

@SoulfulSpinning 2 дня назад

Yes! As long as it makes us happy and we are not going hungry we are OK. 😊

@Tinas_Workshop День назад

Love the socks, my feet are big too 😁

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I want to “normalize” big feet. 😂

@Tinas_Workshop День назад

@SoulfulSpinning 😅 Very true my husband and my boys have huge feet too.

@SheepShenanigansArt День назад

Hi Lisa, I highly recommend using Landscape Dyes. I dye yarn, roving, and fleece in the crockpot using these dyes. They have the mordant already in the dye so usually the color sets pretty easy. I can email you where I get them if you like. Happy spinning! LuAnn

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

I’ll try to get a hold of some. Thanks Luann. I am catching up with your pod today as well!

@SheepShenanigansArt День назад

@@SoulfulSpinning I was using clipchamp and it kept crashing during export. So, used another video editor and couldn't figure out how to add photos. I wanted to share pics from the conference and travels. Oh well.

@maribethclark2798 День назад

I'm math challenged. I think weaving is too involved. I'll stick with knitting, crochet and spinning.

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

Weaving is and can be so technical and looms take up a lot of room.

@nanabeth3762 День назад

Love your podcast. So inspiring. But I have to ask. What is “fractile” (sp?) spinning?

@SoulfulSpinning День назад

It is when you take a length of dyed wool and split it in half along the length. You then take one of the halves and further split it vertically into 2,3 or even more. You spin the first half as is. Then you spin each thinner strip to a separate bobbin. Finally you ply together. Whew 😥 that was a lot. Googling may send you down the rabbit hole! Have a great week. 💕
