Just found you thanks to RU-vid algorithm! I´m a fellow crafter, educator, and West Coaster. I live in Northern CA and teach high school AP and EL English. First 2 minutes of your podcast. and I knew I would subscribe - we have so much in common. I used to be a trailrunner, but now at my age, I walk to save my knees. This summer I trained myself to knit while I walk (and listen to an audio book - a trifecta!), and my average miles per week tripled. I walk a quarter-mile loop in my neighborhood where it is safe, the terrain is dirt but flat, and the view is gorgeous. I pick a small easy knit and wear a belt with a pouch to store my skein. Spring Break I taught my 10-year-old granddaughter to knit using an advent and the Coorie in a Poncho pattern. I taught her crochet last year, so knitting came very easy to her. Loved your video and will probably go back and watch some of your prior episodes ;-)

awww this is such a sweet comment! Welcome, hi new knitter friend, and hugs fellow teacher friend. I love love love that you taught your daughter to knit with an advent and that poncho pattern. that's incredible!

❤❤❤❤.one can never have enough advents!!!! Adore the sweater for your kindle. Cute sport bra with the knitted tank❤

@barbarawanthal3342 5 месяцев назад

I’m listening to The Vampire Knitting Club while I knit too! I also love them…definitely not deep literature, but fun. 😊 I love to sit outside on my screen porch and knit, or sit in a coffee shop with friends…and I never watch TV without knitting…all favorites!

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

Love that! I am enjoy the the Vampire Knitting Club a lot. A screened in porch would be epic!

@tressasmith1244 4 месяца назад

I love my Summer Secret Crop. I use mine as a layer. Under dresses when it is cool but to warm for a sweater, under a button up shirt, under a cardigan. I also made the smallest size for my daughter and she loves it (you could even go down a needle size to get fit for your girl).

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

ooo love it!!!!! great ideas!

@wildflowermagicknits 4 месяца назад

My self-care is similar to yours: time outside, usually with my dogs, knitting, and reading. If I can sit outside with my dogs, read, and knit at the same time I'm at my happiest. I have a list of about 100 self-care activities that I've divided into categories like spiritual; educational (I struggle with brain fog and sometimes learning something new or challenging myself intellectually is a good form of self-care for me!); hygiene/body stuff like trying a new hair style, getting my nails done, yoga, going for a walk, having a dance break, etc.; social; creative. I have categories with several ideas to keep self-care fresh and relevant to what I'm needing in that moment. I keep this list in the front of my journal, which I use daily. Also- I was working on my kindle cover while watching!

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

I love that you have a list! and yay for the kindle cover :) I love mine

@md_makersdiary 5 месяцев назад

I too am a professor and mom of young kids and I use knitting, outside time and moving as well! Birds of a feather I guess. Thanks for sharing and best of luck as the semester ends.

@professorpurl 5 месяцев назад

Hi there professor knitter friend! :) Best of luck to you on your semester as well.

@chickenwillow 5 месяцев назад

I walk and listen to audio books pretty often. If I wasn't walking with our dog I might knit as well. When I was in high school I always walked to school and would read an actual book at the same time. Not sure how I didn't stack it more often!! I'm so exited to see your heirloom cardigan take shape. xx

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

I just finished all 27 rectangles! So fun that you walked AND read an actual book. :)

@jenniferfryer9638 5 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the exploration of self care. For me it’s outside, even just a walk around the garden, coffee with friends, knitting/crochet, audiobooks. It doesn’t have to be a long time. When my children were young, I’d mark school work while watching them at the skatepark. More time with them when we were home and I was outside so not such a chore. It’s individual and whatever works for you is fine.

@professorpurl 5 месяцев назад

Totally! I love that you were outside doing school work. That sounds awesome!

@WoolTheyWontThey 5 месяцев назад

I would layer that tank over a decorative strappy sports bra, or maybe a coordinating-colored bralette. I have to wear a strapless bra with my bralettes for support though, so it gets a bit warm in the summer!

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

That's a fun idea! I need to do some searching.

@EdibleThoughtsMakes 4 месяца назад

As far as kids' garments go (not necessarily specific to tank tops because I haven't looked extensively into them) but some adult garments that have negative ease, might have the first size work for a child. I've knit a cardigan for my daughter that's an adult pattern but meant to have negative ease so the first size actually worked great! I think a lot of tank tops are designed with negative ease so many you'll find something that works in the style you're looking for - or if anything to give you numbers to go off of. Cheering you on for drafting your own for your daughter!!! I'm 100% with you - being outdoors enjoying the fresh air, listening to the birds, hiking a nature trail, knitting by a body of water be it a river/stream/lake/ocean. I save reading for right before bed (though if I'm too tired, it gets skipped and that's okay) - side not, I prefer "book books" because for me it's the smell of the pages, the sound of turning the pages, being able to flip back if I think I missed a clue, etc. Sometimes self-care looks like writing down a to-do list and checking things off. Sometimes self-care looks like finally making that doctor's appt that I've put off. Take care!~Stephanie

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

That's a terrific idea to consider adult garments with negative ease. It makes me think about you could also probably take dk type patterns and use fingering for a smaller gauge, too! I just cast on Mathilda's tank this weekend (by request) so thanks for cheering for me! Oh how your "finally making that doctor's appt" self-care comment, resonates with me. I have some of that on my mental to-do that I need to make a reality. Thanks!! (side note: I love the physical books, too! very special experience to read that way)

@EdibleThoughtsMakes 4 месяца назад

@@professorpurl Absolutely! Playing around with gauge and adjusting as you go is totally doable. Excited to see Mathilda's tank progress when you share! I forgot to add that for me, wearing my handknits are a form of self-care and something I do every day. It's something I take pride and comfort and joy in and for it to be functional art is pretty special! We are pretty awesome creatives❣

@crystik88 4 месяца назад

Hey Nicole! I relate to your bra v tanktop situation so much! I think a longline sports bra is the way to go. They're cute, come in a zillion styles and colors and offer support, coverage and interest to a knit-fit. I've found them at Target and Old Navy for sure!

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

I appreciate this comment so much!! I just had to google what a "long line sports bra" even is, lol. But, yes, this is the solution for me!

@heatheranderson5668 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the visit, Nicole, and good luck with the end of term!!! That tank would look adorable under an open white linen shirt, imo. I tend to wear a racerback bra under my tanks that have that shape, but I don't know if that's something you'd like. :)

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Oh that's a fun idea. I will look for a white linen top and think about it!

@stitchesbeslippin 4 месяца назад

Forgive what is going to be a very long comment but I was taking notes of everything I wanted to mention so here goes!: -your e-reader cozy is so cute! Now that I have one I will need to make one too! -the color of your summer secret crop is spectacular! It definitely looked like it was glowing through the screen! -I am obsessed with that green quilt square with the pink speckles inside - so gorgeous -I am so honored to have my shell stitch marker on such a special project! -Can't wait for you to design a kids tank top pattern! -You know who to ask if you need testers! -I SNORTED TEA OUT OF MY NOSE WHEN YOU SAID "I wasn't going to buy a yarn advent this year" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 -I love that you cried when your doctoral student defended her dissertation - your students are so lucky to have you! ❤

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

You take notes and leave a comment and I leave like 201 comments on your videos. haha! :) I've already started on the tank top and MJ keeps asking about it. thanks for all of your kind words!

@mckinleymurphy57 4 месяца назад

Please do make a kid's tank top, you can totally do it! And if you wrote it up and had other sizes, I'd make one for my daughter too. 😊

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the encouragement! I cast it on this weekend and Mathilda keeps asking me about it... so I am hopeful this will become a reality!

Loved your podcast. I looked thru your links for all the podcasters you mentioned but didn’t find them. I may go back thru your transcript to find them. Loved the personnel part of your podcast as well. My stepdaughter went to reed college and after living in rowanda for 5 years, working for a non profit from Emery university, she lives back in Portland.

@professorpurl 5 месяцев назад

That's so awesome and a beautiful part of Portland, too. I appreciate your comment; it made me realized that I didn't include those link. After I respond to a few comments, I will add them in the description box. :)

That Chelsea yarn advent would fit right in here in Wickenburg, the Team Roping Capital of the World LOL

@pamsavanovic3004 4 месяца назад

Yep all cowboys, rodeos and roping. Too bad that Advent is already sold out

@AlwaysYarnFirst 5 месяцев назад

I convinced Lorri to make the AYC Advent Wonka themed and I cannot wait. I really would like to do 1 or 2 swap with friends, but not sure who would want to do it. Last year I got a fiber advent I really enjoyed but haven't seen any that has moved me yet.

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

What a great theme!

@jasminegonzalez5313 5 месяцев назад

I’ve been trying to resist buying advents. I really want to but I still have half of one from two years ago. I’m hoping to find someone to do a scrappy swap with.

@professorpurl 5 месяцев назад

The scrappy swaps seem really fun. I have not done one, but it's a great option. I hear you on finishing prior advents :) I need to do that!

@mckinleymurphy57 4 месяца назад

I'm a loose knitter too, what size needles did you use for the summer secret crop?

@professorpurl 4 месяца назад

I used US 2 for the ribbing and 4 for the body, I could have maybe even done a 3.

@mckinleymurphy57 4 месяца назад

@@professorpurl thank you! I think I'll do the same 😊
