Soak the garment for about 30 minutes in just plain water before you dye it. Use a large enough dye pot so you can have it fully submerged and still have room for it to move freely (this helps with even distribution of the dye). Heat up the dye bath to the temp recommended depending on what dye you use, then add the sweater, and keep the heat going on low, with a lid on, until you can get as much of the dye absorbed into the fibers as possible. Ideally the water will be almost clear at the end, and your garment will have absorbed all the color. Good luck!! ❤

I always hear about fancy ways to cast off 2x2 rib transforming in 1x1 to make tubular cast off and I don't understand. Why not using the 2x2 tubular cast off? I use it everytime, I am doing it on the sweater I am knitting right now. I am sure there is something I don't know 😅 Anyway, I "discovered" you today and I already watched 3 of your videos. I love your vlogs! Ciao from Italy

I’m excited to see your scrunchie ❤

Hi Hayley😊 This morning I had an exam so that meant that I spent the entire afternoon napping and then knitting and watching knitting videos that I saved especially for today, just as yours! I love love love your modified Moby sweater, looks like the perfect cozy cable sweater that live in everybody's dreams😍 and as for the yarn you bought, I love Drops yarns too! Infact I used Drops Lima just recently for a Salty Days Sweater, it has great stitch definition both with cables and lace, so I think the Ingrid sweater would be gorgeous with it🥰

I’m a physiotherapist (and a knitting podcaster haha) from Finland 🫐 I looove the way you are doing the Moby Sweater! 😍 I just casted on the Dagmar Jacket by Petiteknit and I love the honeycomb cables.

I'm from the North West of England. I am a lover of Drops yarn. You need to try Woolwarehouse sock yarn...Yarnsmiths. So so soft and good when on offer.

Interesting idea to hold the CC double! I tried to knit a beanie with stranded colourwork and I did find that it having negative ease, the colourwork was kind of disappearing when the fabric was stretched out, but I never thought to try holding the CC double. I will give that a try next time!

I love drops Lima!!

Currently working on Xmas gifts. Mittens, scarf, market bag and scrunchies ❤

I'm getting ready to cast on a Moby for my husband, so seeing yours right now is so inspiring!

Hi Hayley another great podcast. Thank you. Did you find the Camisole no. 11 pattern on Ravelery?

oh no, be carefull with those moths! Was the yarn in your stash before? Than I would freeze all of your yarns for at least a week or even longer. They also don't like heat! so you could also put the yarn in dark plastic bags and put them in the sun. I would also move all my wool around (including finished objects, yarn etc.) because they don't like that either.

I’m a nurse in Australia and we are not allowed painted nails either real/false.

Currently working on a weasley sweater but for my friends dog😁🐕

Also never been to Scotland and want to live on the Isle of Skye. Like it is the deepest of ancient desires and I can't explain it

Hi Hayley! Just found your channel!😊 I live in Pambula Beach (near Merimbula) NSW. 🌹

Because I am sad and upset I keep watching your Podcast. It makes me feel better❤😂

Catching up with your video today, and I LOVE CAROLINE! I live in Scotland and her life is my dream too, I would love to run a wee bnb so I can bake and knit and just be a little tour guide for anyone who visited! Honestly, brings me so much joy to hear other people I watch, also watch similar people! I also was thinking my Christmas is watching polar express and drinking a hot chocolate, so we are matching across the world!! ❤

I am a Nurse in Switzerland. We are not allowed to have long Nails or even fake one ˋs😢… and Christmas without snow ❄️ dos not feel like Christmas 🎄… for us! But I would love to spend Christmas in the warm part of the World. Hello from switzerland 🇨🇭, with no snow at this time 😢one podcast I love to watch is „Knitt 365“ from Martyn. He is amazing ❤

Love your hair and nails! 💅🏻 It's fall here. 🍂🍁 I worked on my Age of Brass and Steam shawl while watching. 🧶 Cascade Heritage is a wonderful yarn.

Hello! a tattoo on hand with birthdays dates are brilliant🤭i was laughing:)) As a seller, unfortunately i decided not to ship to Australia, because mail going like forever, and hard to track it, If to USA it go in one week. I'm wondering what kind of service woolyyarn using. Last year I knitted socks for Christmas gift in that dark blue color from Drops Fabel:) I am ready to start reading audio books: I am wondering where you can do this, so if I am in country where there is no libby library I can anyway listening this books? Closest place for me is in Stockholm, so I need to take Ferry, and have to travel across the bay :D Wow that was interesting podcast! so amazing:) I will take for you also to share what I am watching and reading:) Because I loved this part:)

Next time you order try the Yarnsmiths merino sock 4ply it’s really soft

I’m currently knitting with the West Yorkshire Spinners Elements yarn and I really love it! Also really enjoyed watching this podcast, as always❤

I would use Rit Dyemore since your yarn has a high man made fiber content. You should get good coverage with that.

❣❣❣I just find out you mentioned me, so sweet to hear my name, i promise to next vlog, if you still watching me, I will tell my full name and how it is pronounced, my name is also my brand name, so there is nothing to hide:) I am watching all your podcast for some time, really love them, nice vibe and love your personality:)

Love these socks, and love the video! I'm currently on my third pair of knitted socks and I'm obsessed! I've just bought the colourwork cuff club!! So excited! I love the idea of the base colour being the eyes and mouth of the ghosties too

Definately be proud of those socks! You did a great job😍 Very clever to think of alternating skeins - it made such a difference. 🧦

Beautifully knit socks! You were smart to restart as soon you weren’t happy with the yarn was doing. I am doing this club too and the ghosts are my first colorwork sock. I wish I had thought to either use duplicate stitch or use the base color for the eyes as I really didn’t enjoy having 3 yarns going… I will keep that in mind for future pairs. FYI - I find Summer’s heel flap to be shorter than I’m used to as well and will adjust that in my next colorwork cuff pair.

Great podcast. I have never used the different skeins for knitting in helping with pooling.I t was great to see the before and after as there was such a difference. Fab yarn also. I thought the ghosts were great using the same yarn for the eyes & mouth more subtle. Thanks for all your breakdown of your process. Have a great knitting week.

Absolutely amazing socks!

Well done!

Congratulations on your socks, I think it was a fantastic decision to start again, they look fantastic

The 2x1 rib looks really cool. 😎 The magpie in the park was so nosey! 😂 Great job on the socks🧦 👏🏾

What about using beads for the eyes ?

We actually have so much in common. I’m from Melbourne, I knit and sew, I work for a hospital (as a clinical coder) and my husband is in the defence force. I’m a bit older and have two kids but still! Wild! Those little ghost socks are gonna be the cutest thing ever! Thanks for sharing, I love watching your videos 😊

Love that green on you like seafoam. Also random but I love your freckles I think I’d only seen your podcast with full face and while I of course love a good beat. I just thought I’d share that you look vv pretty bare faced as well. I don’t know what your feelings are but I just thought I’d share that in case you didn’t know or think so 😊

Your videos are so comforting❤

Brown/chocolate is in all the Melbourne stores for summer now.

Girl you are more than welcome to borrow my ideas 😂❤ those ghosties are giving such autumn vibes! Hope your moth issues have been resolved, what bad luck! Love your vlogs as always! ❤

If youre able to I would love to see a video of how you are going to make your scrub tops! Im in the health field also and cant find any appealing scrubs tops so making my own sounds very interesting <3

I enjoyed your week. While I'm no pest expert and will accept other ideas, I think you'll have the surest results if you freeze, thaw, and refreeze before using the suspect yarn. The initial thaw can be the trigger to set the eggs hatching and munching.

Are those size differences on your scrubs the seam allowances that were torn off your original scrub garment?

Drapey yarn will lose cable definition, and they won’t show up as nicely as your dad’s cabled sweater cables.

Your vlogs just make me want to stop everything and just knit. Love the colors of your 1031 Sweater. 🧶I'm so sorry about the moth! I really like your BB-8 mug. Great job on your scrub top.

I feel like shift work = more knitting time???? I <3 shift work bc of this

I know you’ll probably roll your eyes and say no straight away but I strongly suggest you redo the cord on the neckline- so be worth it!

not me actually getting emotional watching you laugh during our cast on party 😭😭💗 knitting this project together captured SO many special memories in every stitch 🥲🌷 love you so much hayley bug!!🪻

the chilly dog has some great videos on picking up stitches at the underarms to reduce holes, so check her out. Your Cumulus turned out fantastic! The yarn looks beautiful and soft, and the colour is gorgeous! My Cumulus is sitting waiting to be frogged because it's way too big, but seeing yours gives me the motivation to get started on that so I can knit it again! The biggest lesson I have learned is that it really does pay to wash and block once you separate for sleeves...much less to rip back then if you need to!!

All I wann do is come to Australia and knitt with you! And all the Podcast knitters…And Yarn Shopping 🛍 🧶

This looks like it was so much fun! Glad you and the other girls did this together!
