Join me for a cozy knitting chat.
I'm wearing the Stonecrop Pullover by Andrea Mowry #andreamowry and I knit it in Purl SoHo Linen Quill leftover from my Half and Half Triangle Shawls #Purlsoho #halfandhalftriangleshawl
On at the mannequin is the Sidar Denim Chunky Pullover. Unfortunately the called for yarn has been discontinued.
The lovely cable knitted purse is a Patons pattern called Fashion Cable Knit Bag. I knit it in the called for yarn Patons Classic Merino Wool.
The books I referenced:
Knitting Fresh Brioche by Nancy Marchant
Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible by Hitomi Shida
The Knit Stitch Pattern Handbook by Melissa Leapman
Thank you for watching and happy knitting!
UPDATE!
I found the pattern for the denim chunky pattern by Sidar!

That was a lovely relaxing catch up Diane- thank you. Love your jumper. It does look so cosy but I can understand that it doesn’t have the same feel as the original. Interesting your little chat about teas and honey. We drink honey and hot water and you are right that it is great for allergies and colds etc. We have had snow in Cumbria ( England) today but the sky was blue and the hills so clear - just beautiful on our walk in cosy knits. Take care until next time.❤

Hi Jill, great to hear from you. Thank you for sticking with me and my channel. Have a great weekend!

Make them all the same size & when you have a stack, make a throw & you will have a beautiful throw to use.

Hi everyone, a few of you are interested in the Sidar denim chunky pattern. I have left an email with Sidar customer support regarding availability of the pattern. I’ll keep you posted. Fingers crossed!

@EMGcrafter Год назад

The knit bag is very lovely, such a great bold design! Using scrap yarn to swatch and practice techniques is a great idea! I love the swatch with the edging - it would look so pretty on a sleeve! Thanks for the book recommendations!

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi there, thank you! Happy knitting 🧶 ❤️

Lovely again Diane

@theislandlamb Год назад

Thank you Glenda! ❤️🧶

@therepublicofme Год назад

How lovely is that bag Diane, and with that lining... just beautiful. I'm with you when it comes to honey with my tea. Herbal tea every evening is my ritual, and I never use sugar, always honey. Also, try putting a bit of ginger (thin slices or grated) in your fresh lemongrass tea... it's really nice. Kisses. Ivana ❤

@theislandlamb Год назад

Good evening Ivana, yes I will definitely try a slice of ginger with the lemongrass tea. Thank you for the tip. You looked absolutely beautiful and radiant in your wedding photo. Have a nice weekend.

Thanks Diane for such awesome podcast! It is a treat to watch you talk about knitting and lifestyle. Growing medicinal herbs is awesome! Tea can be very expensive. My daughter gave me some tea from a tea advent from a Paris company. It was very lovely but very expensive. Yes, trying to grow some herbs and cultivate it into some awesome tea is wonderful. I grow mint, lemon balm, and some times lemon verbena if I can find it. I infuse it and make tea. I dry the mint for tea for winter. I’ve grown hissop and lemongrass before too. I don’t know enough about them but will read up on it. Yes, I am always knitting for myself or others, never spend the time trying stitches from my Japanese Stitch Bible. Need to start using that book which was a gift! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤❤

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi Mary Joe, thank you for all the great tea and herb tips!!!

@theislandlamb Год назад

Good morning, I was just rereading the comments from my last episode and yours has me so excited about my herb garden. I do grow mint and lemon balm around my stone wall, never thought to dry it and use for hot tea. I often chop it fresh and add to salads and dressings. So I’m already on the right path. I do grow lots of lavender however I don’t love the taste unless it’s in an herbs du Provence and I use it on meats and chicken. I also like to make sachets to put in my closet and near our bed. Oh, I think I see an topic for another episode brewing! Thanks for the inspiration!

Hallå Diane ! Oh oh ooohh that jade Half n Half wrap is my cup of tea. Gorgeous colours. Everything you do is so classy and fresh. Tea is spirit & soulfullness. I love lemon tea with fresh ginger and some lovely honey. Rasperry leaf tea yummie. Anis tea with lemongrass yummie. Lime tea yummie. Plus all black & green tea. Best. Warmly airhugs from a snowy Northern Sweden. 🦋🌱🍋💙💚🙉

Thank you Diane for another inspiring knitting break. I love the idea of swatching the different stitches to learn something new. FYI to all viewers. Linen Quill is 20% at Purl Soho through Saturday, March 11. I’m not affiliated with them just thought I’d pass along some savings. Until the next video, I hope your days are blessed. 🌸

Hi, nice to hear from you and thank you for the Purl SoHo info!!!!

@SW-cu6bw Год назад

Good morning Diane! I was only thinking yesterday it must be getting near the time for you to upload a video, and here you are. Thank you. You had a very lucky escape with your acrylic jumper which caught fire. I think you were very fortunate it did not melt onto your skin. I hate man made fabrics and always wear natural fabrics such as linen, cotton or wool. I too keep my wool in glass containers, though not as big as the one you have. They are so beautiful just to look at. I am still working on my Victorian sampler and will be for some time to come. I am just over half way with it. It is more a winter project as I have to sit inside with a daylight magnifier to be able to work on it. I love how you were able to utilise your left over wool to make the Andrea Mowry sweater. She does some beautiful designs. Anyway, such a lovely catch up. Have the most wonderful weekend. From a very cold UK. Sophie.

So happy to see your vlog this very cold morning, and lots of snow coming in later today. I love my wintertime knitting and snuggling at home. I really love knitting with Linen Quill and I was knitting the “Salty Air Tee” with Linen Quill in the color rhubarb while you chatted. I will be starting my first half and half wrap soon. (Probably in cream and denim blue) Have a wonderful weekend and love from Calgary.

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi Barbara, great to hear from you. I’m happy to hear you’re nice and cozy and knitting. I have some Linen Quill in Rhubarb and have been thinking about a T. Great minds! Lol.

@thisis4140 Год назад

Hello! Another lovely episode from you. I look foreword to this every time! I wanted to know if you can share the kitted bag pattern? It is no longer available online. It was a free pattern so I’m thinking it wouldn’t be an issue but will leave it up to you to decide what you are comfortable doing. Thanks again! Can’t wait to come back to the island this summer. I try to get out there every summer for a day.

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hello, great to hear from you. The purse pattern can be found on Ravelry it’s call The Fashion Cable Knit Purse. Have fun knitting it.

@theislandlamb Год назад

Let me know when you come out to the island and maybe we can meet and have a cup of coffee or tea and know awhile!

@laurierobillard6022 Год назад

Hello Diane. I’m a new subscriber and I’ve watched many of your podcasts. You have great taste in designs and yarn colors! (That butterfly wrap was amazing!) I searched for the Sirdar denim chunky pattern but wasn’t able to find it on Ravelry or their website. I would love and appreciate if you could share it! Thanks for your channel.

@theislandlamb Год назад

Good morning Laurie, I’ll will try to contact Sidar and see if they still have the pattern in their archives and see what the availability is. Currently off island so it may take me a little while to work on this. In the meantime have a nice weekend!

Good morning, good news I just updated my show notes of my last episode to include information on getting the Sidar pattern! Have fun knitting this vintage pattern!

@Thegoldenbliss Год назад

It was wonderful to see you again. Your Japanese patterns reminded me of a book I picked up at Ollie's discount store. Its titled 'Knitted Socks East and West by Judy Sumner. It contains 30 designs inspired by Japanese stitch patterns. You may be interested in it. A smaller project that you can apply all those fancy stitches to 😃

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi great to hear from you! I’ll check out the book. I hope you have a nice weekend!

Hi Diane, Your acrylic sweater is beautiful. If it is in the public domain I'd love to knit it up. I'm wondering if Berocco Remix Chunky would be a good choice for that sweater. I've used the worsted weight Remix before, and it's easy to wear. Just a thought. I enjoy your podcasts. Happy knitting.

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi there, I do think it’s public domain. I’ll have to figure how how to get it to you. In the meantime have a nice weekend.

Hello Diane. I would love a copy of the cable jumper if you could somehow send it..PDF or email. We could be twins 🧶😁. Im knitting with this fabulous soft yarn that might have a very similar feel to you. Its SIRDAR Haworth Tweed DK 50% merino 50% nylon. I have a 2x2 rib jumper in gorgeous forest green for 53 years. I lived in it for years and I still love. I no longer wear it, but if it still fitted, I would still wear it. A security jumper 🧶🧶💓

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi Barbara, I’m in touch with Sidar pattern company and there is a copyright issue. Sooo I’m going through their archive of patterns to see if I can find it. Fingers crossed. The yarn you mentions sounds a lot like the denim chunky. Ok I’ll keep you posted.

@theislandlamb Год назад

Good morning Barbara, good news, I found the pattern with the help of Sidar customer support. If you go back into my last episode and into the show notes, at the end of the notes I’ve added the the Sidar website info. Have fun making this vintage pattern. Let me know if you have a problem finding the pattern.

@barbararadzeviciusbondi4150 Год назад

Thanks Diane 🧶I have the pattern and 9 balls of Super Chunky yarn from my local Spotlight. Not Sirdar as I couldn't find a location that had 9 balls so I opted for a similar chunky in khaki. I will have it knitted in time for Winter, soon, here. Excellent detective work in finding the pattern 🧶
