Hi Aude, I’m watching you from Portland, Oregon. Thanks for the sweater in the bag tip while knitting sleeves, really smart. I love your green yarn and immediately thought of the “Suriously Holey Wrap” by Stephen West. It only uses 2 colors, but it’s beautiful. I just took Sari’s workshop on cables at Sacred Sheep so I appreciate your modifications on the Book Club cardigan. Happy Knitting!

I really enjoyed this episode, as usual! Lovely to see all your makes, the mushroom socks are so cute. Are you tempted to knit the matching hat? I wanted to apply for the headband test knit but didn’t feel I had capacity currently. Will definitely be knitting it when it’s released, love the colour of yours. Great that your cat joined in! I’m very interested in the new Sara Sheridan after your mini review, I love historical fiction. I finished the Fair Botanists about a month ago and found it fascinating. Haven’t read the new Richard Osman yet, still catching up with the Thursday Murder Club series! Have a brilliant time in Oxford.

Thanks for a great podcast! I'm also a continental knitter, and when doing three stranded colourwork, I like to have to of the colors on the same finger the way I do two stranded colourwork, and then I throw the third. It's a bit fiddly to throw, but I find it easiest both to keep all the yarns untangled, and to keep the tension correct.
@bobblesandberries17 күн бұрын
That makes a lot of sense! Three stranded colourwork is a bit fiddly regardless of how we do it, I think. But it makes very pretty knits. ❤️

Bonjour Aude! Bonheur d’entendre une frenchie à Édimbourg ! J’y suis passée en route pour les Shetlands, je cherchais des boutiques de seconde main ou j’aurais trouvé des vieux tricots faits main…ma recherche est restée vaine, mais j’ai aimé l’atmosphère de la ville! Votre épisode est très sympa parce que vous êtes nature et osez avouer que vous nous demandez conseil pour votre problème de talons de chaussettes! J’adore!

Bonjour Brigitte! Merci pour votre gentil commentaire. :) Oui, en effet, je pense qu’Edimbourg est un peu trop grande ville pour trouver ce genre de tricots en boutiques de seconde main… Malheureusement.

A Edimbourg j'ai adoré le jardin botanique, je suis aussi une fondue de plantes, de jardins, et les anglais sont très forts là dessus! Je suis allée aux Shetlands à Mainland en 2015 pour visiter tout ce que je trouvais concernant la laine, le petit musée, les filles sympas de l'atelier Ninian, et la super boutique de Jamieson, je suis devenue addicted aux couleurs textures et fair isles patterns, je reçois aussi les publications que vous avez montré sur votre video, et je tricote des super "tam" pour vendre au profit d'une asso contre la cancer. L'été d'après j'ai fait un "tricot trek" en Islande avec Hélène Magnusson, pas mal non plus! Ici, j'apprends à des femmes à tricoter en rond pour découvrir les ressources inconnues des françaises de cette manière de tricoter! My favorite designers are Alice Starmore and Kate Davies, you certainly know them, you are lucky to be able to join the wool week, I would enjoy to go, but... see you soon dear Aude!

Hmmm... I have never seen that in my heel turns. However, while I was usually happy with my heel turns, they have greatly improved since I have started using double pointed needles for the heel flap and turn. For the rest I use magic loop, so the dpns only come out for the heel flap and turn, but I do find that these two parts of my socks look a lot better since I've started using dpns for those bits. I hope this helps!

I think I know what’s going on with the heel of your sock the heel turn. When you tention your yarn at the beginning your tention at the beginning of the row, and then when you get to the middle of the row, your tention has loosened up so retention in the middle of the row just like you do at the beginning of the row, get back normal tension and then continue the row also your pearls look tighter than your knits so practice tensioning that’s my tip for you and practice different styles of knitting different positions you’re holding your needles try it. You might surprise yourself and learn to knit differently. I sure have.❤
