Episode 27 - Prepping for Rhinebeck 2018 

Lovely to see you, Kate!! I'm so very fond of your apple cider sweater, the cabled neckline is gorgeous!! Looks like you're all set for Rhinebeck. I loved crocheting a pillow from Marva Brown, with lots of bobbles and a large flower motif. Thanks for your videos, so sweet!!

Hi Kate, I love your new Apple Cider Donut cardigan, it looks fabulous. My favourite knit has been my V neck Boxy as it’s just such a nice mindless knit and easy to wear. Have a great time at Rheinbeck. Thank you so much for all the wonderful podcasts in the last year and a half. Take care. X

Yay 3K! I'm glad I found you, as I love discovering new Irish makers via your podcast, as well as marveling at all the FOs you create. Most of my favorite patterns are hats I've done, but the version of Helen Stewart's Amulet turned out super lovely, so I think that's my actual favorite so far.

Hello, Kate! It's very hard to choose one favourite pattern, but so far this year I think my favourite was Zweig by Caitlin Hunter. It's such an enjoyable knit! I hope you have a great time in America. Thank YOU for the beautiful podcast episodes.

Oh my goodness, over 3,000 subscribers! It's no wonder as your podcast is wonderful. Never miss an episode! Enjoy your trip to Rhinebeck! Cheers!!!!

Congratulations Kate! Very exciting news. I love what you are doing with the Fleece Artist Park series yarns. I did The Groovy (Annie Baker) in the Ontario yarn... It is a favourite to wear especially at this time of year. My favourite knit of all time is also connected to the sesquicentennial - I did the International Peace Park Shawl (Christina Campbell) in the commemorative Sesquicentennial Flag colours (by Yarn Indulgences - Ontario dyer) and Market Flowers (a yarn dyed for the Seattle yarn store in Pike's Place Market -that I visited in 2017). They were the perfect colours to blend in a celebration knit... I hope you have a wonderful visit with Selma and have an amazing Rhinebeck adventure! I, for one, never tire of hearing about Rhinebeck... it is my goal to go in 2019! Enjoy!

Congratulations on 3k subscribers! And I've been loving your Rhinebeck photos! My favorite knitting pattern of all time was my first lace project, the Wings of Fantasy shawl by Hazel Carter. I fall in love with most of my knitting projects but that one was extra special because knitting lace for the first time was so spectacular. Thanks for your generosity with this celebration.

Congrats Kate! My all time favorite pattern is the Central Park Hoodie. I think I made it 5-6 times! Keep the podcasts coming...I always het excited to see you in my “notifications “!

Thank you for a lovely podcast. I'm so excited for you and your trip. It sounds lovely. My favorite shawl was the summer flies shawl in pink fingering weight wool. It was my first shawl and it gave me confidence to make more. I still wear it! Love your plans for sweaters in the journal with pictures. Pictures are so inspiring. Well, have a lovely trip, can't wait to hear about it.

Good to see you again! I hope you have a wonderful trip. :) When it comes to your question I have a hard time answering it. I have been knitting for 40 years, and that's a lot of project. I tend to favour the project I'm knitting. But the project I'm proudest of is a cardigan I knitted ages ago. Stranded colourwork in a very intricate pattern.

how exciting!!Have fun and happy shopping at Rhinebeck. love your rust colour cardigan. Love your accent and podcast. inspiring how you keep your journals :)

Hi, thank you for all the inspiration and congrats with the 3k. My favorite pattern is the westbourne from isabell kraemer because it was my frist knitted top down sweater and it turned out so well.

Congratulations on 3K subscribers Kate -that’s amazing! And your hair is adorable. it looks very youthful and so healthy. And now, my favorite knit so far is the Perforated sweater by Suvi Simola. I retrieved 3 skeins of Manos del Uruguay Fino fro my stash and the pattern and yarn combo is just lovely. I just wish I had more time to knit - so many patterns i love! And not enough knitting time of course.

Zweig is my all time favourite pattern.love your podcast.thank you.

Wish you a happy trip and tell greetings to Selma!

Have a fabulous time, look forward to hearing all about your trip, socks socks is all I knit, love cables, have the itch for a jumper, possibly a knit along on doing your first jumper, my struggle is getting the correct yarn for the pattern, would love something top down, drop shoulders. Here’s to the next 3k xx

I started watching your podcast when you went to Rhinebeck last year. Here we are a year later and I still enjoy watching your podcasts. Congrats on 3000!

Thanks for another lovely podcast! My favourite way to spend a Sunday evening - listening to your podcast and knitting. You asked us to comment and mention our favourite pattern - so far mine has to be "Drake" by Todd Gocken. I've knitted it twice now, for my partner, both times making it a stripey jumper, at his request. I learned loads from this pattern and would definately knit it again. Hope you enjoy Rhineback. Hugs xx

Congratulations and have a great time on this side of the pond! Sunshine Coast by Heidi Kirrmaier is my most worn and loved make...in fact I want to make another one in wool instead of the bamboo of my first.

Congratulations! My favorite pattern is the LiTee, it fits perfectly and has so clear and detailed instructions that I can modify it easily to my body specifications

Kate A wonderful podcast thanks. My favourite sweater is my Nanook by Heidi Kirrmaier. Enjoy Reinbeck and have a safe trip.

Hi Kate and congratulations on hitting the 3k mark. My knitting mojo has taken a walk atm I really wish it would come back. My favourite knit I would say was a very simple Reverse Mitre Dishcloth pattern by Ari Whitlow that I knit up into blanket size for my mum for Christmas back in 2012. She loved it and had it brought to hospital when she was ill and kept it with her when she came home until she passed away.

Congratulations! I enjoy your podcasts and love your knitting. I try to knit a variety of items, shawls, socks, sweaters etc., but my favorites are hats and mittens.

Thank you for another lovely visit! My current favourite knit has been The Harvest Cardigan from Tin Can Knits. I've knitted one for me and one for my 3 year old grandaughter. We have matching cardigans! Lol! Have a great time at Rhinebeck x

Congratulations! I love your podcast 😊. Oh favourite pattern, there’s so many! The boho blush shawl by Andrea Mowry was so lovely to knit, I learnt so many new techniques.

Congratulations on the 3K subscriber mark! I love watching your podcast. My favourite item I have knit so far, is my Weekender sweater in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter and designed by Andrea Mowry. It is so cosy, lofty and yet very light to wear.

Dear Kate, congratulations on your 3K! Have a wonderful holiday and I'll be thinking of you and Selma enjoying beautiful Ottawa and Montreal, two of my favourite cities. Actually one of my fave patterns is European Road Trip Shawl by Espace Tricot,, so hopefully you'll be able to get there. Enjoy Rhinebeck and the donuts!

Congratulations! You deserve all the best! My favorite pattern is ❤️find your fade❤️

Wow! Good on you, Kate. I'm excited for you and your trip. Someday... I think my most worn sweater was the Derravaragh - Lopapeysa by Richella Duggan. It knitted beautifully in a combination of Canadian wools from Topsy Farms and Briggs and Little. Safe travels. Safe home.

Hi, Kate. My favourite pattern to knit so far has been the February baby sweater by Elizabeth Zimmermann. Have a nice journey!

Congrats Kate ! And enjoy your trip to Rhinebeck 💕

Congrats Kate!! It’s hard to come up with a favorite pattern... but I had lots of fun knitting Stephen West’s MKAL Marled Magic... and also love knitting Susan B Anderson’s Scrappy Patchwork socks... ( I guess I like scrappy things!). Can’t wait to meet you at Rhinebeck,

For me? It’s the Shifting cabled pullover. It looks and feels so amazing and it’s flattering too but knitting it was so much fun 💕

I found you a few weeks ago and I have been binge watching your podcasts ever since, I love your accent and how honest you are.. One of my favourite patterns is the Selbu mitten club 2 by Ellie of Skeindeer. Xxx

Congratulations! As always it was nice to see a new podcast episode. I very much enjoyed making the Campside Cardi by Alicia Plummer.

Congrats on reaching 3,000 subscribers! One of my more recent knits that I enjoyed making is the Veronika cardigan by Shannon Cook. The pattern was well written and supported with tutorials. Now that the weather has just made a dramatic shift into cooler temperatures, I am looking forward to wrapping myself in this cozy, oversized cardi.

Congratulations on reaching 3K! I'm envious of all the lovely people you'll be meeting up with at Rhinebeck, but I'm so glad I had my turn to meet you over in Belfast in June. My favourite knit is always the one I'm currently working on because I try and choose something with a new technique or feature that I've never done before. That means I'm always learning :-) I'm busy with the Harvest Moon cardigan by Heidi Kirrmaier at the moment.

You are such an inspiration, Kate! I've knit scarves, shawls, etc but never a sweater for myself. I love seeing your beautiful sweaters you share on the podcast, so I've decided my favorite pattern is going to be the one I use for my first sweater that I knit for myself. I'm not yet sure what pattern that will be but hope to choose one and have it on my needles very soon. B-)

Congratulation! My favorite so far is the Elton by JoJi. I’m in the middle of knitting it now and i am just loving the yarn and the pattern.

This the 1st podcast I have seen of u & I loved it! I am now subscribed! My favotrite knit is a test knit I did for Lisa Ross called the Frosted Pullover! It is gonna b my Rhinebeck sweater this year! This is also my 1st trip to Rhinebeck! Mayb I will see u there! Safe travels & have a wonderful time in both the USA & Canada!

You absolutely look gorgeous today! Have a fantastic time in Canada and Rhinebeck. Enjoy shopping and meeting knitters/crafters.

Great seeing your projects. Have a wonderful time in Ottawa!

Hi Kate. Have a wonderful time away. Looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back. Xx

Congratulations on 3K subscribers. Well deserved. I love your podcast. My favorite pattern is Hermione’s Everyday Socks. My most frequently knit pattern, too. I often use the heel and toe for plain vanilla socks, too.

I just finished the Shwook hat recently and I think it is my favorite at the moment. Congrats on 3K! Love the podcast!

Thanks for another lovely podcast, and congratulations on reaching 3000 subscribers 🎉 I LOVE that jumper on you, it’s beautiful 😍 My favourite pattern of the moment is the Rhinebeck Hat by Woolly Wormhead. I’ve been knitting it for Loch Ness Knit Fest, which is where I’ll be this weekend (who needs Rhinebeck?!). Have a wonderful time over the pond x

Congratulations love your podcast and thanks for telling us all your knowledge and the pattern I love it's the sweater you are wearing it's your pattern ,thanks I will keep watching your podcast ❤️ Grace

Congrats on reaching 3K subscribers. The knit I love and wear the most is a simple cardigan by Julie Weisenberger called Antonia/Antonio knitted in yarn I bought in Orkney called Isle of Auskerry Aran 3 ply. It's just so toasty warm.

I love your podcast. Your accent is one of my favorite parts. I live in the western US where we don’t get a lot of Irish influence. I can see why you love that sweater so much. My favorite pattern I ever knit is the Wishmaker Mitt pattern by Erica Hauser.

I love to listen to/watch your podcast! Sadly, tho I only live a few hours from Rhinebeck, I will be in Florida next weekend visiting my grandchildren. Would have loved to meet you! Oh well, another year maybe. Congratulations on 3k followers! And have a great trip and visit to Canada and the US!

Congrats on reaching the '3k' subscribers!!...love all your podcasts and look forward to them, as I enjoy seeing all your lovely knitting. I can't say I have a favourite pattern as each one brings it's own satisfaction or not depending!..ha!, but if I had to choose I remember attempting two colour work jumpers for my twin boys when they were just 1yr old. I was so pleased with myself that I managed to knit two!!! They're 38 now, so it was a long time ago, but I count that as one of my greatest knitting achievements!! Have a super time at Rhinebeck!...big hugs x x

Congrats on 3000 subs! I hope you have a safe trip and a great time at Rhinebeck!

Congratulations on 3K subscribers!! Hope to see you at Rhinebeck.

My favorite pattern is Jennifer Steingass’ Fern and Feather yoked sweater pattern. I used Cambria worsted in Buttermere colorway, the bit of mohair in it offers a slight halo and I loved it far before it was off my needles. Seeing yours inspired me to try it. Thank you and congratulations on 3K❤️

I designed a shawl called Falling up the Stairs and I've knit seven of them, so I think that is officially my favorite pattern. Congrats on 3k!
