Tash and Bec I loved the poscast and Tash I can safely say you are the go to person for Skimmer socks and Musselburgh hats. Bec the sweater you are knitting with the all over fair Isle is great and will be a good wear. Well Tash you have started the wrap in the fabulous colours can't wait to see the finished product ❤ Cheers to your yarny friendship ❤

@casuarinagirl8067 7 месяцев назад

That was such fun! Tash, I hold my needles exactly the same way you do, the only difference is I wind the yard around my pinky once, it was interesting to see someone holding needles like me. Nice to see you two together, I loved all the knits and all the purchases. Wishing both the hat recipients a smooth treatment journey and a full recovery. Enjoy the tennis, thanks for sharing, Karen 🥰

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Karen. That is so funny. I don know many people who hold the needles the same way either. i used to wind the yarn around my pinkie first as well but i ended up dropping that part when i realised it didnt make a difference to my tension. Readjusting has been much quicker which is always nice. :)

@Bub5257 7 месяцев назад

Another fabulous podcast, thank you. And thanks Bec for the very handy tip about dropping the mohair. 👏👏👏

@joanne5263 7 месяцев назад

This was another fabulous episode, and I especially loved to see the joy on the faces of you both as you share your knitting. Bec, it is wonderful to see you and your projects. The Secret Garden sweater is spectacular. The day a Mostly Knitting Podcast is aired is the best day of the week. Thank you.

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Aw - thanks Joanne. You always make me feel so special with your comments. I love doing the podcast with Bec. I wish we lived in the same city like we did before. Ah well - one day maybe. Our friendship has stood the test of distance. :)

Great to watch you both chatting together and when you said you were going to the Australian Open. It was always my dream to go to Wimbledon that did happen, not once but many time as was successful with the draw for quite afew years. Enjoy your experience.

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Bev. It was great to be there. :)

@carolwaters7359 7 месяцев назад

Hi Girls Your projects and yarn are beautiful. I seem to have the same interest in patterns and yarn you pick. I love the Knitting for Olive yarn and I love the price. I am making the Barbor as well and found putting markers after every 15 stitches for the pattern makes it nice. I look forward to the blocking with silk because I bought the putty color for the top and I am doing it in medium just because I am 68 and don't want it to be too tight for my body. Hope I am correct . Love your podcast and thoughtfulness in your knitting. We knitters feel this is the ultimate gift of love and care and it is.

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. I can definitely chat about where i find time to knit throughout the day. It may not work for everyone but I can share my experience. :)

What a lovely podcast and what a lovely friendship you have! That Secret Garden sweater is going to be spectacular. Certainly worth all the math calculations. I, too, am over the moon about my Knitting for Olive yarn purchase from Skein Sisters. Tash, I hope you have a wonderful time at the Australian Open.

@susiesparkesactor 7 месяцев назад

What a great episode with you both! I’ve had my eye on the Secret Garden sweater for ages Bec and I love your sunset fade design! Thanks for explaining the yarn management. 😱 It will be totally worth it! My friend bought me some ‘posh’ wool from her op shop- 6 balls of Rowan Kid Classic for $2 a ball - she had no idea how much of a bargain that was! Love your dotted rays Tash, but all those stitches puts me off a bit. Happy knitting to you both! 😃🧶

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Susie - yeah, with Dotted Rays, it is probably a bit like Half and Half. You just keep working on it and it is done. I could never knit something like that to a deadline. I love your description of "posh" yarn. Hope you find something nice to knit to make with it. :)

@missmandylooknitsandthings7760 7 месяцев назад

Such a lovely video. Sharing our knits with our friends is so special 💖 I wondered if you could both recommend some must have Australian yarn. I'm going to be in Adelaide for a month pretty soon and really want to try some Australian yarn and dyers. I'm in the UK.

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Bec might be able to suggest some other dyers but I quite like Skein yarn and Circus tonic handmade if she is still dyeing. :)

@Karen-Knits 7 месяцев назад

How wonderful to find another Aussie podcaster. Thoroughly enjoyed your 2023 summary! It’s interesting to listen to your views on different yarns. Very informative. I’m not sure when your microphone is placed but your knitting (clicking) was being picked up?

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! Sorry about the clicking noise from my needles - good thing i dont normally knit when i podcast. ;)

@joycecolbourne904 7 месяцев назад

Loved your podcast with Beck. I am having a little bit of a mind block. Skimmer sock...if I put a few more(2 rows) of german short rows it will bring up the back heel part. Not sure how to do that. Would you have a tutorial on this.

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Hi Joyce. You could definitely add a few more short rows to bring up the back. I dont have one on this specifically but i can definitely add it to the list of tutorials I plan to do. :)

@SunflowerAV 7 месяцев назад

Can you please show how you do the wrap and turn? I would like to use it on the shawl but it gets confusing for me. Thank you. Nice episode and projects

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Hi there. I can definitely do a tutorial on that. There will be plenty of opportunities to show how to do it with this enormous shawl. ;) Thank you for your kind comments. :)

@tlneill 7 месяцев назад

Beautiful Sophie! I was just about ready to cast this on using lace held double. Have you ever done this with Sophie? You mentioned it was your fourth.

@mongrain8934 7 месяцев назад

@ericacatlett8412 7 месяцев назад

Also. Could you knit the Oslo hat reverse? So then when the mohair ends, it's where you can make it work easier than the top? For the gift

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

You could do that, or if you are sensitive to mohair, you could just not hold the mohair for the part of the hat that is against the skin. That would also save on yarn…

@StickToYourKnitting 5 месяцев назад

Hi, Tash! The moment I saw your Cumulus Tee I knew I had to have one. I have a couple questions about it. First, I’ve never knitted with silk before and now that I have some in hand, I see that it has very little stretch and it reminds me very much of embroidery floss. Do you have any tips for knitting with it? I think splitting stitches will be something I will need to work to avoid. Also, what cast on did you use? When a pattern doesn’t call for a specific one, I usually use the German twisted, but for this, I wonder if an Icord cast on wouldn’t be better. Thanks in advance for any guidance! 😃

@mostlyknitting 5 месяцев назад

Hi Mary. The main thing i would say with silk is to make a large swatch and measure it before and after blocking. My swatches of 6 x 4" were too small and my gauge stretched out a lot in the garment compared to the swatch. I think i just did a long tail cast on for this top. In this case, i dont think the cast on mattered very much. Certainly not an icord cast on as you are doing an applied icord after. Hope that helps. :)

@pammoriarty5176 7 месяцев назад

Another wonderful episode. Your hats always look fabulous? My hats, stretch out after blocking. What is your secret?

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Pam. I usually block them before I am finished in case they stretch in blocking and then I dont have to knit as much as i think i do and they get too big or long. I will do a blocking video on the Musselburgh hat i am working on now very soon. Hopefully that will help. :)

Is the lines quill soft? I have some in my basket at Purl Soho but I’m nervous about if it will be itchy .

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

I haven’t worn it yet but it feels lovely to knit with. :)

@ericacatlett8412 7 месяцев назад

Do you like the Oslo with mohair better than the basic pattern?

@mostlyknitting 7 месяцев назад

They really are the same pattern. Just different stitch counts for different sizes. If i was just buying one, i would buy the one with mohair as it suggests a few different sizes. But I have noticed that most people just modify the stitch count for their own gauge and size. In terms of wearing - I like them both equally, as long as the mohair isn’t scratchy. :)

@kimhardy389 7 месяцев назад

Hi Tash , love your contents from New zealand . I try to knit skimmer sock but not very successful with w&t short rows wonder if you can do tutorial . Thanks . Ps ;I m ex Sydney myself live Mt Colah .

Hi Kim. I can definitely do that. I do have a tutorial on short rows but not in ribbing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D8gTg9Xr17g.htmlsi=FrhN6wakNjiapuIt The process is similar but I can do one that shows that section of the back of the Skimmer socks which is in rib. I will add that to the list. :)
