Join me for some spring and summer knits. A little talk about cotton fiber and spring gardening on Block Island.
As the song goes "May was full of promises but she didn't keep em quick enough for some and a crowd of doubting Thomases were predictin' that the summer never come". The weather has been up and down and a lot like a carousel!!!
I'm wearing the Circulo Jeans Jacket made in Circulo Jeans and Clea Yarn. You can find more information in my episodes 7 & 11.
On the mannequin is the Eyelet Pullover designed by Rosemary Drysdale. I knit it in Valley Yarns Leverette in the color way Buttercup. I go into details in Episode 21.
On my needles is the "I Love To Make Waves" pattern by Rosemary Drysdale and I'm knitting it in the beautiful Filigrana Nova yarn by Jaeger. This is a mercerized cotton.
Thank you for joining me and I wish you happy knitting!!!!

You’re a natural teacher. I enjoyed the podcast and learned something about cotton. Your knits are perfection.

I’m happy for a gray rainy day here in Newport - perfect time to work on my Inlet gauge swatch and catch up on all your podcasts. It took 3 podcasts to finish it because I have to do a lot of stopping to look up and ‘favorite’ all your design inspiration in Ravelry 😊. Love the Italian yarn, wearing that beautiful sweater will always bring back memories of that wonderful trip!

Your jean jacket turned out great! I liked the 'Levi' style buttons. That was a nice touch. I enjoyed learning about the different types of cotton. Aqua is the perfect color for your waves sweater.

What a beautiful jacket you have knitted. Just incredible. Love your vlog and hearing about cotton. I only buy 300 plus thread count Egyptian cotton sheets but your knowledge was very interesting so thank you. Looking forward to seeing progress on your garden. Hope you had a lovely trip to see your uncle .❤

The top is lovely and the jean jacket looks great on you. The information about cotton was new to me. I’m going to check the labels when I buy bed sheets next😀 Have a nice trip to Florida

@theislandlamb Год назад

Good morning, thank you. When I was talking about the yarn content of the yellow top is said 100% cotton. That yarn is 70% Pima and 30% linen. Just in case you didn’t catch the earlier episode where I talked a lot about that yarn. 🧶❤️🌸

@ClaudiaB.4266 Год назад

Hello Diane! The Informations about the different kinds of cotton are very interesting. I am actually Knitting a sweater out of pima wool and it is lovely to knit with. Of course in Colour Aqua 😊. The "Jeans Jacket" is absolutely great and "tres chique". Loved to watch your episode! Have a nice time! Lots of greetings from Cologne, Germany. ❤

Hi Claudia, ohhh aqua!!!!! Thank you!!!! ❤️🌸🧶

Interesting episode. Just finished knitting a cotton sport weight sweater and haven’t yet blocked FO. Had to rip out a few times to get the fit I wanted and the cotton seemed to hold up well during this process - time will tell. Looked at the yarn label after watching this episode and it is mercerised cotton made in Hungary, Schachenmayr Catania sport weight which has a nice sheen. Appreciate the info you shared on cotton types and processes including sheets. Jean Jacket looks great!

@theislandlamb 11 дней назад

Thank you Karen. Good luck with the blocking. ❤🧶

@lm6037 Год назад

Pretty top. I think Valley yarns Leverett is a combo 70/30 cotton/linen.

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi there, yes you’re right 70% Pima cotton and 30% Linen. Great yarn.

@susanbajdek6698 Год назад

What are your favorite needles. ?

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi Susan, I switched to ciagoo’s about a year ago and I love the cables. I have the shorties and the interchange set. I also have a interchangeable set of AddinTurbo’s.

@butterflysoar1 Год назад

I love your yellow top! It is so summery and light. I will have to knit that. After learning so much from you about cotton yarn, (thank you for that), do you think I should knit it with the Leverett yarn or should I try to find some mercerized cotton in yellow? Have a nice time with your uncle in Florida

@theislandlamb Год назад

Hi Mary Ellen, thank you. I think the Leverette is perfect it’s a 70% Pima cotton and 30% Linen blend. I love the finished product. Enjoy!!

@butterflysoar1 Год назад

@@theislandlamb Thank you! That is what I will get. I know the sale ends May 31. Just one more question, please? How many skeins did you end up using?

@theislandlamb Год назад

I used 8 skeins
