Hi Bonnie. I’m starting from your first episode and binge watching you today. 😁 I live in SoCal in the desert and it’s so nice to find another CA knitter. I’m currently knitting on my Rib Tee by Knitting For Olive while enjoying your content. Thanks for joining the RU-vid knitting podcasting community. ❤

Hi! Thanks for a great podcast. That baby blanket is beautiful. I’d use the extra for a size 12 or 18 month baby sweater. They knit up so fast & when I had my showers, everything we got was for newborns so it was nice to receive something that can be used a little later. Look forward to more episodes. 😀

@CurtisSMayfieldIII 4 месяца назад

Congrats on your first video! Instant subscribe when you talked about your other hobbies. And of course your obsession with knitting which I can relate. I'm knitting the Poet sweater now and it's great but just wanted to highlight that the sleeves are unusually small compared to other raglans. I'm knitting to the pattern gauge (using sport weight yarn) and I'm adding extra increases to the sleeve so I end up with zero ease there instead of negative ease. If you're planning to knit at a tighter gauge, even if you make a larger size to compensate, your sleeves may end up pretty tight. Just want to highlight that.

My wife thought it interesting that the Hobby Lobby hook beat Cover. She also wondered if the roughness would help a beginner with the yarn but sliding off the hook accidentally.

Hi. Great job on episode 1! I totally hear you about just needing to talk about your knitting and to talk about it with people who get it completely. I live in Rhode Island and have been knitting for a long time. I think I joined ravelry in 2009ish when I was teaching myself to knit after a lifetime of crocheting. I look back and realize how adventurous I was in the beginning. I went from learning on dish cloths immediately into sock knitting. Garments that actually fit me is a pretty recent phenomenon... there were a lot of attempts but that whole gauge swatch thing escaped me. Anyway... enjoyed your podcast. Your leftover lovey blanket yarn could easily be some baby sweaters.

@elenabeyers2088 4 месяца назад

I just found you. I really enjoyed your video. I just moved away from Northern California in 2022. Maybe you will be a good influence re yarn purchases. I love color and sometimes can’t resist. I love forward to more content from you.

I’m making the same knit picks rainbow hues blanket. I’ve got 2 sections done, 2 more to go..but it’s tedious, so I’m taking a break. I’m going to outline it in black. And gift it to a friend. 🌈🖤

I love your knitting excitement! I am the same, I am retired and knit every day. I look forward to your next episode. Loved all the yarn you have chosen too. We lived in the Atlanta area for years and I had the best yarn store in my town called Eat Sleep Knit, and belonged to several knitting groups. We moved back to our home state of Florida and I miss all my knitting friends. I am all alone, so I love watching knitting podcasts. They keep me connected.

You did great!!! I mostly crochet, but I can knit. I’m working on a baby blanket for a May baby boy and also a Scrap Buster that will be a blanket for myself. I am really enjoying creating the colors that go together in my stripe pattern in the Moss Stitch. Keep up the good work! You crushed it!!!🥰

@shirleycoonce8726 4 месяца назад

Found your podcast just now. I enjoyed it very much. Its funny how we always thought of knitting as a grandmothers craft. It is no longer that and i love seeing young people learning the craft. Your story about the teacher being a model in the knit book cracked me up😅 how rare that was. Keep up the good work.

Great 1st episode..congratulations! My ears really perked up when you said "northern California"...I was born in Placerville, but grew up in Citrus Heights and have been in Roseville for 17 years. Thank you for sharing about the local sheep farm. I looked them up and Sebastopol would be a nice road trip for me! Their wool looks like it is probably Jacob, which is fairly common sheep for this area. I’ve been spinning some Jacob fiber and it’s lovely to work with! Thank you for putting a podcast out. I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful projects!!

@alecsgirl 4 месяца назад

Hi Bonnie, I enjoyed watching your episode. I grew up in Northern California 😊 I just wanted to say that you’re such a good auntie-taking the time to knit blankets for your nieces and nephew. And I admire how considerate you are in your fibre choices. I’m not always as kind with my gift knits. I prefer to work with wool too, so I admire your willingness to work with acrylic as a blessing to your sibling(s).

@Lamara5292 4 месяца назад

I totally get your need to talk about your knitting or feeling like you’re not on an island by yourself in your obsession. Looking forward to your next episode. I knit but only started knitting for others a year ago but again, it’s not cheap and it needs to be for those that can appreciate it. That shift pattern is very enticing,I might have to jump on that knitting train.

My name is Bonnie also and seems we have A LOT of common interests! I am knitting a vest with the same stitch as your sweater and also using my OWN handspun! I am holding a strand of mohair which helps to even out my uneven yarn. I've also knit Andrea Mowery shawl, most fun thing to knit ever! Your red sweater will be awesome! Look forward to your next episode!

Hi! Love your podcast! My kids distracted me so I watched it twice! Your red wishbone sweater is going to be beautiful. Can you talk about wearing hats with your curly hair sometime? I have big hair too and hats just feel funny to me. Can't wait for the next one! Thank you!

@chet1051 4 месяца назад

LisaR: If you're working in the round in Garter stitch & prefer not to purl every other row ... *Knit one round( make sure to place a BOR marker ) * Flip your knitting inside out - so that the side that was the back side is now facing you and ready to knit. *Knit the 2nd round. Flip the knitting back to the original side . Continue rep Rounds 1 & 2 just remember to flip the knitting as above . No purling - Garter in the Round ( I hope 😅)

Loved your video! I also learned to knit at a young age and had the same experience as you having it not stick because I didn't know what to knit and didn't have the right tools. It clocked for me when I was in grad school when I discovered that I could get books from the library to teach myself how to knit properly. I'm glad you found your way back to the craft!

@AKnitterObsessed 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I’m glad you found your way back too. It’s such a rewarding hobby when it’s clicking but oh so frustrating when it’s not. It’s amazing what a difference the right resources and tools make.

Why not use the extra oatmeal acrylic to knit you some adorkably cute Emotional Support Chickens? 🤪🐓 I’ve joined the craze and am knitting one now with extra scrap yarn balls leftover from recent FOs. Looking forward to your future episodes! Great energy and you seem pretty relaxed despite it being your 1sr episode-you’re a natural!

@vickistanton9078 5 месяцев назад

For your extra Brava worsted there is another free pattern on Ravelry called the Roly-Poly Bunny that you could knit for your nephew too. It's pretty cute and you have the perfect color for it. Congrats on the new podcast and the new baby coming.

@AKnitterObsessed 5 месяцев назад

I'm not a knitter (yet) but recently fell down the rabbit hole of knitting podcasts so RU-vid suggested your video to me! I've been crocheting for a little over a year and have a pair of knitting needles on its way to my house today. I have a new baby and found what seems to be a fairly basic baby blanket pattern that I'd like to try for my first project - wish me luck!! Looking forward to your next episode 😃

Espace Tricot (which is in Quebec) is "ess-pass tree-coh". Also, I have a very Scottish husband... Musselburgh is a town in Scotland. If you say "mussel-berra", it would be a fairly good pronunciation ❤

@@AKnitterObsessed I would love online suggestions for ballet! Thank you!

@AKnitterObsessed 5 месяцев назад

For free online classes, my personal favorite is Kathryn Morgan here on RU-vid. Her classes are really clear and approachable and often she’ll do fun themes that keep it interesting and fresh. I also really like Ballet with Isabella, but her classes are only available on her website and they can be a little pricey depending on the subscription you choose. That said, her attention to detail and ability to break things down is unparalleled. For some fun ballet content without the dancing (in case you need a break from knitting podcasts 😄) my favorite RU-vid channel is Ballet Reign. Their content is a ton of fun and I can’t recommend them enough!

@annrupp2151 5 месяцев назад

Loved your video! I have been eyeing the Favorite Flannel sweater. Would you say the stretched elbow is a pattern problem or because of your yarn?

@AKnitterObsessed 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! I think the elbow situation is a combination of the yarn and just the nature of knitted fabric for something fairly fitted like these sleeves. The yarn I used is a bit finer than the original pattern called for and the fabric is fairly delicate as a result. My sleeves also came out more fitted than the pattern called for due to me knitting off gauge, and I think anything that fitted will just have a slight tendency to stretch over time. Luckily I think it will be easily fixed with just a little elastic 😊

@AKnitterObsessed 5 месяцев назад

I do highly recommend the pattern though! I’m already thinking of making more in different colors because it’s all I want to wear right now.

@kit000003 4 месяца назад

Good video... Just a small thing, people don't want to hear about how you structure your video, it's not relevant to us. I almost just stopped watching because of it. Get to the meat of the video sooner and you'll get better engagement.

@gretchenmariee 4 месяца назад

Most do it for a first episode and some of us find it relevant, especially as we gauge the content and interest. If you don’t like it, don’t watch. She did a great job for her first video! Not everything someone does (especially for a first time) needs a backhanded compliment disguised as “constructive criticism”. Plainly, just be kind to others. It’s truly not that difficult.
