Speaking of darning.... We have a quilt on our bed and our dog accidentally put a hole in it. I got so excited because I have been really diving deep into visible mending. Never in my life did I think I would get this excited about my pet causing damage to an item I love. Lol. One of these days I will be getting out my mending tools and having so much fun embellishing our lovely quilt.

Mark’s shawl is glorious. Those socks will be so cool. Work overload, ugh…Don’t stress about it too much, but I hope works slows down and lets you get back to crafting.

@angieanderson6082 8 месяцев назад

Mark’s shawl turned out beautifully!!! 🤩

@ElizabethSpooner-r5q 8 месяцев назад

Well done on finishing Marks shawl, it's awesome, can't wait to see yours. And what lovely socks, lucky you to have some lovely knitty friends to craft with, I wish I had some crafty friends to share crafting with. Hagw until next time. Xxx🧶🧶🧶👍

@toomiepal 8 месяцев назад

Mark's shawl is fantastic. He will enjoy it so much. Excited for your socks. Best wishes!

@niknaiman5359 8 месяцев назад

I love that you're coming to us weekly now!! It's so nice to see you more often.

@thizizliz 8 месяцев назад

Congratulations on finishing Mark's shawl. It's BEAUTIFUL!! I must admit that when I heard "I've finished Mark's" my brain put in 'jumper' and was so surprised to see the shawl! LOL. Good on you for repairing the holey socks. And hey, Darwin will get done, right. If he gets a finger a week, then let it be what it is. He's going to be wonderful - in his own time. It's a hobby, not a punishment. And you'll get things done. Well done on the West socks - they are gorgeous. Well, IT is but I'm certain it's mate will be as well.

Marks shawl is stunning 🧶

@niknaiman5359 8 месяцев назад

I split my skein into 2 cakes and use 9" circulars to work them both at the same time in tandem (Cuff 1, Cuff 2, Leg 2, Leg 1, etc) so that I am finishing them both up at the same time. I like to always have at least a pair (usually 2 pair) of socks going as well as a hat and a garment.

@ChemCath 8 месяцев назад

Congratulations 🎉 on finishing Mark’s shawl!! I am cutting and clumping my fringes as I watch you. I am hoping to get them attached tomorrow after work so that I can block the shawl in time to pack it for my conference this weekend! 🤞🏼 that I will have a shawl dance next weekend too.

@helenrussell294 8 месяцев назад

lovely to see you Martyn; have a great week.

Hi Martin!! Regarding the spinning I wanted to mention that maybe it’s a long wool making it harder to draft. It’s harder to spin long wool on a drop spindle. I usually pre-draft my fiber by gently fluffing lengthwise and horizontally and that makes drafting while spinning much smoother. When I first learned on a drop spindle I used the park and draft method and that really helped me get a more consistent yarn. There’s also different preparations to fiber (pin drafted or worsted VS carded which is a woolen prep). For needle felting I’ve seen both preparations. You can technically spin with felting fiber unless it’s very compacted. I hope that helps. Love your channel ❤

@escarla 8 месяцев назад

Also, @fiberspider has a great drop spindle tutorial here on RU-vid that I found really really helpful at the start. That’s a good one to check out 😊

@TrudySchwartzBurrill 8 месяцев назад

This was great a Quik update. Marks shawl looks very good.

@saramerrick3539 8 месяцев назад

The shawl is gorgeous!

@sarahadams6881 8 месяцев назад

Marks shawl is so beautiful, congrats on completing it. Loving the new weekly style. I’ve been working on the Selma sleep suit by petite knit for my new Nibling (niece or nephew) arriving soon. I would like to cast on a new pair of socks too but working on some I’ve called the slip socks as not used a pattern and I’m trying not to cast on before completing some of my longer standing projects! Have a great week and see you next week 😊

@emmykanters8994 8 месяцев назад

I used to knit socks on dpns, and I couldnt imagine ever managing magic loop. Now magic loop is all I use and I cant imagine that i used to knit socks on dpns.🙃 And by the way, the Charles Darwin doll looks very much like the Dutch 70s kids character "Paulus de boskabouter"🤣

@S7orsNl 8 месяцев назад

Hi Martyn, my pro tip for spinning yarn would be: Pre draft your roving! It will help you to get a smooth and even supply of fibre while spinning. It doesn’t matter if you buy felting roving or superwashed roving. For a beginner I would recommend a higher micron, because the fibers will hold together easyer than in a finer micron. Beware tough! Spinning yarn can become an addiction ❤

@SusanDuffield-t1y 8 месяцев назад

Your first spinning is bound to have chunky, lumpy bits in it. No matter what I spin now it always ends up 4ply - wish I could spin thicker. Thanks for the company whilst knitting my hand spun (from over 10 years ago)

@Danielle_nl 8 месяцев назад

Congrats on finishing Marks shawl! It's beautiful. I love the interaction between Mark and yourself... Hasn't he asked for a support fee for remembering things 😉? Next project must be Marks jumper right. Then he can do a happy dance with shawl and jumper.

@pamsavanovic3004 8 месяцев назад

I was always a DPN knitter for socks, but now I am hooked on 9 inch circulars. I have 2 sets, so I knit my socks in tandem

@niknaiman5359 8 месяцев назад

I am all for a shawl dance! I thoroughly enjoyed the sock dance. I hope he's preparing his choreography for when his sweater is finished!

@martinevanderploeg6941 8 месяцев назад

Enjoy making the billowing braid socks! I made them, really nice pattern! Now working on my 2nd spiral splash sock.

@chiptaylor7925 8 месяцев назад

With your fiber you are spinning it might help if you pre draft it before you spin it. just go through the hank of fiber and pull it enough to get the fiber to start sliding a bit. once you get it a little looser it should be much easier to get the fiber consistent when you spin. have fun

@carolinedodsworth6481 8 месяцев назад

I really appreciate the Weeley video better for me

@judyurrutia6072 8 месяцев назад

The colors in your shawl are similar to mine!! Looks great!

@Sophira1 8 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness Mark's shawl is indeed glorious! I love all your socks too - so colourful and full of beautiful features. They are quite inspiring. See you next week xx

@niknaiman5359 8 месяцев назад

Ugh I am determined to do a bit cable knit sweater this year. I've already swatched for it and have my needles ready. Every time I go to cast on, I get nervous about all the charts and put it down. I've worked cables before, but just on small projects (hats, socks, etc). This will be my first time doing multiple cables and doing them on a large garment.

@savyjett 8 месяцев назад

The guys at the needles at the ready pod are having a kit-a-long, fyi. Because maybe one of them buys “too many” kits. 😂

@barbaramcrae8425 8 месяцев назад

It's such fun having a weekly video from you. Your socks are wicked cool...so bright and cheery! Congrats on finishing Marc's shawl..it's gorgeous!! I knit all of my socks on two (2) 16 inch Ciaogoo circular needles, and try to work the two simultaneously. This works well for me. Do love Marc's witty inputs!😊

@debbiewigen805 8 месяцев назад

Well done Martyn!! Mark’s shawl is absolutely gorgeous! (Can’t wait to see him model it….the “dance” can wait until yours is finished as well 😉) I enjoy seeing your WIPs and my heart is happy that you are enjoying your sock knitting! Spinning is such an impressive skill….keep at it! Checking in weekly is a total joy and very much looked forward to!!! Thank you sincerely for sharing your crafting with us!

@janmartin6785 8 месяцев назад

Hello Martin. The shawl is fabulous. I definitely like the weekly podcasts. You often mention your work, but what is it you do? Keep crafting.

@KimClinger 8 месяцев назад

It’s nice to hear Mark in the background while you video. Hi Mark! I’m going through a knitting slump right now and you videos give me encouragement. Thanks for all you do!

@Tobyknits 8 месяцев назад

Marks shawl is lovely….look at all those tassels! I couldn’t be bothered with all that, so fair play to you.

@ClarissaKelly-fr8th 8 месяцев назад

Martyn on your socks you darned there was a spot in the white that looked like it had a hole. It was above the place you darned. Mark's shawl looks terrific, can't wait to see his jumper.

@mandyrawlinson7687 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful job on Marks shawl!!! Those colors are glorious!!

@knitrinka9493 8 месяцев назад

I love your spinning! IT TAKES TIME! Please don't beat yourself up! I've spun all kinds of wool. I would say that the wool you're using is fine for spinning. You can also pre-draft to make it easier to draft while you're spinning.

@suzanrudulph4141 8 месяцев назад

The shawl came out beautifully. I love it. ❤

@astridvaneverdingen5180 8 месяцев назад

Wool with a long stapel is easier to spin than wool with a short stapel. Merino wool has a short stapel and is therefore more difficult to process. Therefore, you may have trouble spinning a regular yarn. Congratulations on Mark's shawl.

@fabulousjaxx 8 месяцев назад

Don't be so hard on yourself with your spinning I bought a couple of skiens of hand dyed hand spun wool if was perfect looking but both skiens when I wound them had big "clumps" 100 of un spun fibre in the middle it cost a fortune too luckily I'm a felter but that's not the point xxx

@marilynlongcoy9914 8 месяцев назад

Mark’s shawl turned out so good. I loved all his little comments during this video. Have a great week.

@jodiealaoui7293 8 месяцев назад

Thank you, Jane! I really enjoyed the footage of Knitting for Olive. It would be a dream come true for me to be there in person. 🧶💕

@kathleentanti4387 8 месяцев назад

Marks shawl is great. Now for him jumper????? 😂

@cyntay1922 8 месяцев назад

Mark's shawl is wonderful...we can pay him for a shawl dance in yarn for you! Funny twist of fates!! Love your blog!

@janedaniel7288 8 месяцев назад

Hi Martyn. Family WhatsApp can be a good thing and a bad thing in equal measure. As I was writing that our youngest daughter wanted her Dad about a recipe. Love the sock. Managed to cast my or husbands socks. Have damaged my hand and wrist. So slow and steady win the race. Have a fabulous week. xxJane 🐑🌼

@judithhirschhorn7249 8 месяцев назад

Can’t wait to see the dance when you complete Mark’s jumper!!

@JoanneOwen-dh1kc 8 месяцев назад

Hello Martyn and Mark! Wonderful shawl, cant wait for the dance!! Please, please, please keep the weekly blog going. I need constant inspiration! 🧶

@adrienneoliver3825 8 месяцев назад

I am using Malabrigo Nube to spin. I'm getting thick sections that either I didn't draft enough, or I didn't put enough spin in before I Iet go. I am a very new spinner.

@jillfoster6369 8 месяцев назад

My sock making is that I have made three socks - not three pairs I hasten to add but three separate socks ( the first sock was the SW sock along) - I am now starting to think about knitting my fourth sock 🤭. Love Mark’s shawl and love these weekly updates. Thank you. 🧶

@jeanandreas3446 8 месяцев назад

Mark’s shawl is gorgeous. 😊👏🏻👏🏻

@sueholubeshen9960 8 месяцев назад

What a wonderful surprise on a dreary, dark winter monday morning in Ontario Canada...i dont even have a partial finished object..my mojo is just all over the place so far this year. Im starting all the projects..however you do your videos im here for all of them❤❤❤❤

@jackyteague6509 8 месяцев назад

Love your weekly video Martyn! It's like meeting up with an old friend! Would be great to have weekly updates...and a monthly roundup!! Appreciate the time you spend making them!! Take care.

@juliabenton2338 8 месяцев назад

You can spin that fibre but remember drop spindles are different weights and maybe your spindle is the wrong weight for the thickness of the yarn you want. Have you tried parking and pre drafting?

@beckyjohnson9917 8 месяцев назад

Always such a joy when I see you and what you’re doing. I’ve been looking into the TOFT 12 days of Christmas birds Just checking out the yarns - Thank you for all you do ❤

@zenandink3531 8 месяцев назад

@bgummeson 8 месяцев назад

Mark’s shawl is beautiful, and your sock is very cheerful! I’m planning to make the braided socks for my husband.

@DrMartenCrazy 8 месяцев назад

I will be joining you on the Toft CAL. Wanted to make Bo since he was released.. but kept putting him off for easier projects 🫣 loving Marks shawl it is divine.. ❤

@miekeharinck500 8 месяцев назад

I really do like your podcast, although sometimes I wonder why, because we couldn't be more opposites in our crafting. I only work on one project, very seldom two. I can not stand a stash. in my personal live I really don't like it when people make promises they don't keep. but all this I take with a laugh from you. so, I am looking forward to your list of WIP's and I also would like once a list of all your kits from Toft, there must be quiet a lot by now. are you still subscribed to the 'endangered species'-club? greetings from a old fashioned flemish housewife.

@jordanfairs9791 8 месяцев назад

Woohoo! I just got the shipping notification for my CAL Dragon from Toft, happy I'm able to join you on this CAL. Your the o me who introduced me to Toft and it's very dangerous place for my wallet haha

@deb2529 8 месяцев назад

Great to have this today, ice day! The shawl is gorgeous. I love those socks. Keep at it with the spinning, I want to learn

@weavenut 8 месяцев назад

If it’s felting fibre it might be a bit more grabby, try pre drafting to loosen the fibres and thin the diameter down, also check the length of the individual fibres by pulling some from the end, when you are drafting to spin ensure that you have the distance of the drafting zone is slightly longer that the fibre length, this is something you need to assess for each new fibre as a fibre lengths are not the same. Hope this helps, I have just wound my sock yarn for a pair of socks in the spiral

@MelissaC1103 8 месяцев назад

Love love Marks shawl!well done. Look forward to the dance!!!

@moniquelachniet4693 8 месяцев назад

Hi Martyn. The size and weight of the spindle also has effect on the thread. You might learn faster with a finer spindle. Good luck!

@moniquelachniet4693 8 месяцев назад

And try predrafting before you start spinning.

@cedarinthecity3358 8 месяцев назад

I'm loving the weekly vlog! And Mark's shawl is amazing 💙💙

@annaraita868 8 месяцев назад

Did you perhaps forget to add in the picture of your sock? 😂 At a bit over 5 minutes, you say you'll show it and... nothing! Other than that, nice to see you and please continue making videos, I enjoy them a lot.

@jamiethrogmorton2540 8 месяцев назад

I believe a “bump” is 10 kg of fiber, those little ones are called “nests.” Eye of partridge heel?! What a great name.

@stephanienorris364 8 месяцев назад

Mark's shawl is fabulous!

@tinafletcher1145 8 месяцев назад

I used to love watching Toft when they were on CreatandCraft but now that they are on hobbymaker I don't get to see them

@georginabird9354 8 месяцев назад

Mark don’t be mean, give us a shawl dance , cause it’s beautiful like you , made by your handsome husband who loves you ,,, as he does us ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊

@mitzikolody4569 8 месяцев назад

Hi Martyn 👋 your shawl so nice ❤

@soravann4250 8 месяцев назад

Hi martyn, love your podcasts. Question, I am not a spinner but once you spin your wool, can you spin again? Or is it a one and done. Also, I have a knitting group with my mom, my daughters and my best friend. We are doing our own knit a long, doing the gr8 gingham slippers. They are coming out amazing!

@patkelly2117 8 месяцев назад

What is the dk sock pattern that you are knitting with your besties? I just joined your you tube blog. Kevin and Ray of Needles at the Ready mentioned your channel and I have found you delightful. But I was thinking it might be fun to knit a dk sock with your knitting group.

@lisarussell9333 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful shawl

@stephanienorris364 8 месяцев назад

Circle of Friends for your 1st sock, I think. 😊

@jamiethrogmorton2540 8 месяцев назад
