Love the cardigans! It was great to see the video from the knit-together in Cincinnati - that was such a fun day!

@tanyaperkins1522 7 месяцев назад

So cute!! I absolutely love the cardigan!!

@AliMakesEverything 7 месяцев назад

Okay I’m back! I am SO with you on the perhaps lofty goal of wanting to love everything you make-it’s so worth the extra effort to go back and tweak things to make them what you want! Thanks so much for a perfect hour of knitting company on a long flight ☺️ PS Hi to Dad 🙋🏻‍♀️

@YoungfolkKnits 7 месяцев назад

I am definitely in to cardigans 😉

@hannahgknits 7 месяцев назад

It seems like we need to throw a party for you next February for your birthday and your big bow (: So glad you are in this space, Hailey! Grateful for you.

@hannahgknits 7 месяцев назад

Also 100% there is a market for knit podcast intro songs!

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

I am grateful for YOU, Hannah!! And yes yes yes let’s do it. You’re going to need to wear a Party Bow too though. 😆

@KNIT_LA 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the shout out Hailey! Your knits are so beautiful in this episode and I'm especially looking forward to the Artus Shawl reveal😍

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

It’s currently my weekend project. It’s fun because I look forward to it every Friday!

@YoungfolkKnits 7 месяцев назад

Your trip sounds so fun❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

I’m sooo looking forward to it!

@KnitDesserts 7 месяцев назад

your spinning looks awesome! can't wait to hear some new music on the pod!

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Thanks!! It’s been fun to learn something new!!

@intheyellowcorner 7 месяцев назад

I lost my brother to cancer not too long ago and our birthday is always a tough day. 💔 I hope you get some relief from your grief soon. Also hello to your dad! 👋

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

I’m sorry hear of your loss. Sending so much healing and love your way!

@FiberTales 7 месяцев назад

I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍 And i do understand the weird feeling of getting closer to 40 🙈😅 i will be 38 this year and i can’t quite understand it. Now onto the rest of the video 😁

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, Lærke! 🤗 I will let you know how 39 (and then 40) goes. SO WEIRD! 😆

@KnitandGrace 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for keeping me company on my sad girl day Hailey! And more importantly for being vulnerable with us all. ❤ Absolutely loved all of the makes as always and I have a very strong feeling that we all might be entering into our cardigan era thanks to a little push from little miss CeCe (she says as she swatches for a cardigan). 🤭

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

So much love and hugs to you, Mia!!! I think maybe we’ve all moved past the annoyance of WS knitting, picking up button bands and attaching buttons. We’ve embraced all the less fun stuff as part of the process.

@kimludy130 7 месяцев назад

I feel you - I just lost my mom to pancreatic cancer on New Year’s Eve. I cared for her for almost a year and I get these awful flashbacks of some of the horrific suffering she endured. Love and prayers to you

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Oh, Kim. I can only imagine what a traumatic year it must have been for you. We had a tough road the most couple of years as her chronic illness progressed, but those last several hours… those do play on loop for me sometimes too. Less over time, thank goodness. I know it must have been the hardest thing you’ve done in your life to see her through in such a selfless way. But it sounds like you were there for her every step of the way and that is something. She must have known how much you loved her. Hugs to you!

@debweiss470 7 месяцев назад

I’m feeling more inspired to do a cardigan after watching this. I have only done one (with a zipper) and it was steeked because I don’t love purling. And button bands really intimidate me. Maybe 2024 will be the year.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

You can absolutely do it!! Maybe try a crew neck. That would allow you to pick up fewer stitches in one go. I find them easier.

@margaritadeverson2098 7 месяцев назад

Your cardigans look great! You knit the Ozetta cardi super fast!!! I have been itching to cast on a cardigan; I have the Portedge in mind. Trying to finish a couple WIP’s I am free to focus on the sweater.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

The cardigan practically knit itself!! Best of luck on speedy WIP progress!!

@madisonmonteze 7 месяцев назад

Your navy cardigan is GORG!!! ❤ You’re inspiring me to enter a cardigan era as well. And your spinning looks amazing! I “pre-draft” nearly allll of my fiber and I love Jillian Moreno!!! I was just referencing Yarnitecture the other day 😊 Was so happy to see a new video from you today! 💗

@madisonmonteze 7 месяцев назад

Oh! I also was going through some of my stash this last week and I definitely need to hop on the Lonely Skein Project KAL asap 😅

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

I have taken to kinda fluffing it up before I spin since reading that book and it has definitely helped. I’ll keep playing and learning!! Thanks to you lots of options for the next spin!!!

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Yes! Hop on in. Would love for you join!!

@knotenkopp186 7 месяцев назад

Love your navy cardigan on you. It looks so good with your hair colour. And oh my god your tide Cardigan really is Easter/spring in a Cardigan. So much fun. Really enjoyed all your project and so much Cardigan inspiration for when I finally decide to cast on mine. Hope the spring vibes in your knitting and outside help you with feeling better. But it’s also good to accept the waves of sadness. ❤

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! I’m quite pleased with the cardigan. The Tydes is totally Spring. It’s not my usual choice, but it has been so fun to switch it up. Acceptance is hard but definitely necessary. 🤗🤗🤗

@AHandKnitLetter 7 месяцев назад

Your Must Have cardigan is beautiful! I love it.❤ And I love the podcast music.💗

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Becky!!!! I think it’s a win. It ought to be with how slow I was in working on it. 😆 I accidentally ruined my own birthday surprise when I asked him if I could call one of his musicians to commission some music. It happened to be the day they recorded.

@QueensYarnBoutique 7 месяцев назад

Your projects look amazing! 👏🏾 The gift from your hubby was so sweet. 😍

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Wasn’t it the best gift ever?! So much time and energy into it. As a maker I can totally appreciate that!!

@jhaypennycuff2396 7 месяцев назад

I recently did my first fractal spin with fiber from Three Waters Farm too! Divided braid in thirds lengthwise for a 3 ply. Further divided one length twice & one length thrice. Turned out beautiful!

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Okay!!! Thanks for encouragement and your method. I can’t wait to give it a try.

@BR54niner 7 месяцев назад

Very lovely episode. All of your cardigans are beautiful. As for the pallet you picked…the olive would be my choice. ☺️ Also, if I may…the whole “carbons from shipping” is truly NOT something you should be concerned with or feeling some kinda way. Happy knitting. ❤

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for watching!!!

@Knitworking_jen 7 месяцев назад

So sorry to hear about your family’s loss. I too lost my mother last spring and still have days that feel impossible to move through. The colours for your test knit are so joyous! I’m looking forward to seeing the FO and how you style it. I love knitting lace but don’t wear it often.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Jen, I’m sorry to hear of your mother’s passing as well. I hope those types of days are fewer for us over time. I hear that’s the case. This year of “firsts” has been hard. I just needed a little brightness and joy after my wintering this year. I’m not much of a lace knitter. Since there are no YO’s it creates a more solid fabric which I think would make it more wearable day to day.

@goldwest53 7 месяцев назад

I too want to put an S in her name. We are thinking of Bruce! 😂

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Glad I’m not the only one!!! 😆

@larachurchill 7 месяцев назад

Lovely to see you back Hailey. Wonderful blue cardigan and Moby slipover. Thanks for the tips re the Highlander slipover- I’m delighted with the finished result- especially valuable were your bind off tips. As a relatively new knitter, they help so much. The Moby slipover is next on the list. However I watched another podcaster who mentioned that the Moby pullover was in her opinion one of the worst P.K. patterns- this has ‘scared’ me a little. Any ideas why and any tips before I co? Thanks as always from 🇬🇧☺️

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Hi Lara!! So glad to hear you’re pleased with your Highland Slipover. It is such a great basic. I’m not an expert on Petite Knit patterns. I’ve only knit a few. But I’m meeting a friend tomorrow who has knit the sweater. I’ll ask her opinion. I didn’t have any trouble with the Slipover pattern.

@larachurchill 7 месяцев назад

Thanks again Hailey, that’s a relief. It’s the slipover I’m planning, so great to know ☺️

@Lisamakes 7 месяцев назад

In terms of the carbon cost of shipping from Norway- remember that they would get shipped from Norway anyway to whichever retailer sells them in the States, and then perhaps shipped again to you, so it’s not any better to get it locally from that point of view.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, Lisa! Great perspective

@knittingwithchloe 7 месяцев назад

I had to pause this to stop laughing when you started intentionally rustling the packaging before putting it down. In more substantive commenting: the navy cardigan came out wonderfully. It suits you so well.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

😆 i mean… i was going to edit that moment out. But I decided to leave it in at the last minute. I tend to get a bit punchy toward the end of filming.

@lindamarkus1298 7 месяцев назад

Check out Bliss Yarn in Brentwood , south of the city of Nashville. Lovely yarn shop and friendly helpful staff.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Fabulous! Thanks so much!

@KarinCreations 7 месяцев назад

I like haus of Yarn so much more than Bliss!

@KarinCreations 7 месяцев назад

Are you going to the Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival on the 22 and 23 of Mar it is in Dickson, TN.

@amyj9907 7 месяцев назад

Hi Hailey-I really loved this episode and seeing all your cardigans. I also seem to be in a cardigan phase-currently finishing up one for my dad as a gift. I think I’ll take your suggestion of sewing a clear button on the back. Did you sew on the front and back buttons separately or did you sew them on at the same time? Thanks!

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Hi Amy! I sewed them on at the same time. It was a fiddly event, but I think it definitely helped. I’m so glad you took time to watch and spend some time with me!

@peggybozarth4401 7 месяцев назад

Love the sweaters! Just wondering…I live an hour away from Nashville in Ky and have gone to 2 yarn stores there. I’m hoping they have not closed🥴. Haus of Yarn and Bliss have been really nice stores to shop.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Yes they are open still!! Haus of Yarn is our only store in Nashville proper. I consider it my LYS for sure. Bliss is actually in Brentwood about 30 min south of Nashville. I tend not to go down to that area very often. There is also one about 30 min west in Kingston Springs, but I haven’t been there and can’t recall the name.

@lucilesenseney5556 7 месяцев назад

My mother passed away over 25 years ago and every now and then I have periods of sadness and crying and it's ok. Your projects are lovely.

@jhaypennycuff2396 7 месяцев назад

Malabrigo Nube is notoriously difficult to spin if you don’t steam it first to release the compaction. Also merino in general likes to be spun very thin. Try dividing braid into pencil thin lengths before spinning

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Thank you this tip!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

@TRaceTK 7 месяцев назад

I totally agree! I often pre-draft my fibers for ease of spinning and DEFINITELY for the Malagrigo Nube! It is not you 😊

@bekahfisher3614 7 месяцев назад

Came here to say this. I spun a braid of Nube, only pre-drafting, and it was...difficult. I've more recently spun three braids and steamed them thoroughly, twice each, carefully easing the width out to its fullest extent after each steam pass, and the difference is astonishing - it's quite nice to spin after the steam treatment.

@lindapayne9474 7 месяцев назад

Love your cardigans. Newer garment knitter. I am confused how you did the 1×1 rib buttonband afterward. You said you start at center back. Are you picking up stitches as you work around or sewing on later. Can't visualize how you would pick up stitches.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Yes, I pick up every other row then break the yarn. I did a provisional cast on then started my 1x1, knitting the last stitch on the button band together with the picked up stitch.

@kimludy130 7 месяцев назад

I finished my Artus shawl and did a 5 stitch I cord instead of 7. I didn’t like how bulky the 7 was and the 5 is perfect

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Ohhhhh okayyyy! I am absolutely going to do this. Thanks for the tip Kim!

@vandynapier5059 7 месяцев назад

I am really enjoying your podcast. I would love to know when you will be visiting Lamb and Kid. I live close would love to meet up if our schedules allow.

@Knitweekend 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely! I should be in the area on Saturday May 18.

@vandynapier5059 5 месяцев назад

@@Knitweekendhope to see you. I am sure you will love the shop.

@AliMakesEverything 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for mentioning me with such nice things to say! 🥲 I’m adding the full video to my Watch Later so I don’t forget to come back to it but I have a feeling we should absolutely be friends 😄
