Welcome to Episode 9!
Thank you for joining me as I share what I'm knitting, crocheting, reading and watching. I also show my favorite knit that isn't socks! I'm always looking for the Stolen Minutes in my day to knit just one more row.

☠️🧜‍♀️🧚🐳🦈🐊🦜🍺🗺️🏝️⛵️🪝⚓️🏴‍☠️ Hello Helen!!!! Guess you could say I went “overboard” with the emojis!! Best of luck with the new studio space!!

I Helecal knitting all the time to use up my leftover sock yarn. Such fun. I do slip the three stitches before I change yarn. But I always make my heel flap with one of the yarns I am using and make sure the last change is the on the top and not in the heel flap. Then I just make the change when I do my first row across and continue on. So much fun. You never know what you are going to get especially when you are using self striping.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Yes! I love the mystery of it.

@TrudySchwartzBurrill 5 месяцев назад

Your field sweater is very pretty. I like the ribbing all around to be red except only the last row or BO on body depending on what type of BO you do.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Good idea!

Hi Carrie. I'm new to your podcast and am really enjoying it. I'm not a knitter although I am a prolific crocheter. I watch several knitting podcasts just because I like the podcaster. Thought I would say I'm currently listening to "The Women" and really enjoying it. You kinda can't go wrong with Kristin Hannah. And narrated by Julia Whelan. Win win. The book is gritty and graphic at times. But it's worth it. 😊

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Ooh! Thanks for confirming it should be my next read.😊And I agree, I have liked everything of hers that I’ve read.

@nadinestapler3881 5 месяцев назад

Helical knitting is Magic! I’ve made several hats (my own design, pre-Musselburgh) Helically, using scraps. For socks I leave one of the colors to the right of the flap. Then it’s in place for gusset pick up etc. I do use the “slip 3 (or 2)” trick, but only on the instep, away from the decreases. When those “transfer” places occur, I knit/slip a bunch of sts back to instep area until decs are complete. Then it doesn’t matter, just fly along to the toe. Your new bags prints are Adorable! I’ve been wanting your bags for ages. Trying to decide which size … sock, medium or large … Then, Florals or Kitties…Love the handy ring!! Thanks for tip/s on “magic” knot, made me nervous, never tried.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Good tips!

I am glad I watched you video. I bought one of your cat bags. So excited for me! Having had up to four cats a few times losing one is so hard. I am so sorry for your loss. It feels like a hole in your family. Right now we have two older ladies. We just love on them every day.

I use a blood knot for my scrappy projects, never fails! To hide it, I do a yarn over with the knot and then knit together next row to hide it on the back of work.

@marysnyder3809 5 месяцев назад

Blood knot???

@janlizKnit5968 5 месяцев назад

@@marysnyder3809 its a type of knot for fishing, but works with yarn too. Lol If you search blood knot on Google there are images and instructions.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Ooh, smart thinking with the yarn over and knit together. Will need to try that.

@karinanderson7319 5 месяцев назад

Hi Carrie, I'm so sorry about Ellie going over the Rainbow Bridge. 💔 You've been in my thoughts and heart. The Helical knitting on your socks is beautiful! When I do a Magic Knot ball, I add just a wee drop of Fray Check on the knots. I think it helps!❤

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Thank you😻Smart touch with fray check too!

@darlenedavis3585 5 месяцев назад

Your scrappy musselburgh hat is amazing and your Field sweater is stunning. Nice to know what you found with your magic knot ball. It’s always been a concern to me.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Thank you🥰I’ve had the magic knot work before but when I had a couple come loose…time to re-think at least.

@shetlandlace 5 месяцев назад

Love your knits! Love your books. The Women is on my Audible Wish List. I love knitting mysteries, and you inspired me to download Knitted and Knifed. Maggie Sefton also writes fun Knit Mysteries. You need a light read to clear your palate from the heavy books.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Thanks🥰I’m going to look Maggie up! Yes to palate cleansers!

Hello from Swansea, Illinois. I love your sweater, I am a V-neck fan! I also love your hats, I am going to start a scrappy crochet blanket.

Oh I just found your channel. I love all your scrappy projects and your Christmas sweater is amazing!! I can’t wait to try helical knitting my self striping left overs. How fun!! I have knit 2 Carbeth sweaters that I love wearing. It is a great pattern with thicker yarn so it goes fast, but it is still very wearable.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Ooh! I knit a carbeth and it’s just sitting in my drawer. I need to wear it!

@Blaize24 5 месяцев назад

I'm so sorry about Ellie. Your helical socks look amazing and of course your Christmas sweater is brilliant! And I'm going to TRY to get one of the project bags on Friday.

@louannyoung8434 5 месяцев назад

I haven't had any experiences with my magic knots coming apart. FIngers crossed. But I have heard some say a dab of fabric glue on the knot gives them peace of mind.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

🤞🏻just keep an eye out!

@selfishknitter 5 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear about Ellie. The cat print bag release is a nice tribute. 😿

@heidiclarke2333 5 месяцев назад

Might have knitted a scrappy Musselburgh hat in a week! Definitely wouldn't go any heavier either. I didn't trim the ends off my magic knots and just made them on the inside of the hat.

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Wow! A week!!

@tracyvirta6692 5 месяцев назад

Thx for explaining how you do your helical knitting on your socks. 😀🧶🧦

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

I hope it made sense😂🤪

@egoreknits 4 месяца назад

As much as I like the magic knot, I don't quite trust it. I always put just a dab of fabric glue on each knot after it is knitted into the project. I know how you feel with losing your cat. We also had a cat with us for nearly 16 years. My oldest kids grew up with her. She was an all black cat and she is missed.

@stolenminutes 4 месяца назад

Our furry friends leave big holes in our hearts😻

@atrinka1 5 месяцев назад

The magic knot is excellent when you pull the two ends, but it can capsize if you move the knitted or crocheted piece in other directions. I don't risk it

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Yep, it just wiggled itself loose😫

@tamesonob 5 месяцев назад

My cat looks just like yours and also likes to snooze on the back of the couch while I'm sitting on it.

Love how your scrappy musselburghs came out! And those socks are beautiful! Have you read Kristin Hannah’s The Four Winds? I was sobbing through it. And I’m so sorry about Ellie. She definitely hit the jackpot for families with you guys.❤️

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

I have read that one. So many good books! Thank you for your kind words about Ellie🩷

@mariegoodinson1744 5 месяцев назад

Hi Carrie, So sorry to hear about Ellie. It's so hard to lose a cherished furbaby. I love how your fields sweater is working up. The colours are so perfectly festive. I have just cast on 2 new projects this week; the first a Musselburgh hat using cascade fingering weight yarn in black (I do not know what I was thinking!!) and the second, the Folklore Cardigan. I'm challenging myself with the cables. I love the cat pattern project bags... Do you ship to the UK? I have a birthday coming up so I'm wondering if I should drop hints to my family? 😂🧶🪡

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

A black hat will be worth the effort. Cables look harder than they are! And, yes, I do ship to the UK.😻

@nadinestapler3881 5 месяцев назад

@sandyrinehart5566 5 месяцев назад

I love your Musselburgh hats. What is the finished length of your scrappy hats? I have made several but I have used fingering yarns so far. I would like to make one with DK weight yarn. ❤

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! I knit mine to the length it specified in the pattern. When measuring, because it can be a bit subjective depending on if it’s stretching or not, I err on it being longer than specified rather than shorter because I know I want to turn up the brim.

@glendabathgate4036 5 месяцев назад

Lovely bags

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

Thank you!!

@emvee29 5 месяцев назад

Dumb question…. What is scrappy yarn? I’m new to this craft. Just love your hats

@stolenminutes 5 месяцев назад

It’s leftover bits, but no set amount, just what’s left after finishing, from other projects. For me that’s usually socks so my scrappy projects are all sock/fingering weight yarns. So for the hats I tied together a whole skein of different lengths of these leftovers and held 2 strands together to knit.

@phyllisburke4141 5 месяцев назад

I find the superwash yarns don’t hold up to the magic knot.
