Love seeing your project updates! For the Stripe Hype, I got soo discouraged by all the ends to weave in, so on the sleeves I just carried the yarn and it looks fine! I weaved in a good chuck from the front and back panels and then for the body stripes I was over it and tied knots and cut 🤫🤫🙊🙊

You are so enjoyable to watch! Informative, positive, and intelligent!

For your ends on the yoke, you could knit them in as you’re picking up the sleeve stitches. I often do this when I have ends in the sleeve and it works well - although makes picking up the stitches just slightly more finicky. For the body I would absolutely try braiding the ends. Worst case scenario you don’t like it and you can always go back and weave them in traditionally later!

In love with the cocoon cardi ❤

Love the progress on all of your sweaters - that zippy makes me want to make one for my hubby in that same color. ❤ And had a speaker at my work from Wisconsin and we were talking old fashioned 🥃 and I impressed him with my knowledge of brandy old fashioneds thanks to you!

Got to look out for future Jacque, weave in as you go! :) Thanks for another great podcast! I'm casting on a Musselburgh using Evergreen Fiberworks yarn. I need to be in the Musselburgh hat club lol!

Oh you are a leftie, just like me. 😊 do you find it hard to read certain patterns? Love your videos. ❤

Your husband’s Zipper Sweater is looking great! 🧶 I knit on my Bessie Scarf while watching. 💜

Lovely episode! Love seeing all your WIPs! Impressed with you being so new and knocking out sweaters! I have yet to knit many sweaters but have been wanting to more and more! I’m really trying to curate my queue on Ravelry as I have many many WIPs and out of control - for my crazy brain to focus, I need to be more disciplined with 5-6 WIPs at a time! As it feels so good to finish things 😂 Also curious on the sheep skin - did a sheep have to die for the skin to be made?? Or is it truly just the coat when they are sheared??? I would love one of them too!! ❤

Lovely episode, glad I found you after AKA Nora Knits mentioned you. You might consider Aegyoknits patterns, they are very similar to the type of pattern and construction that you are talking about. Thanks again for a great podcast.

Thank you for sharing! I was out of town this sheep and wool weekend so it is awesome to see from your perspective. And I loved hearing your thoughts about your sheepskin! I am relatively new to the Madison area and am still trying to find my knitting community myself.. do you have any tips for meeting other knitters (bonus for younger-skewing events like twenties or thirties) in Madison?

I think if it’s a toothy yarn that sticks to itself then braiding is the way to go.

Check out Leslie Friend a friend to knit with on weaving in ends. I am a left hand knitter too. I would love a video on left hand knitting and how you knit garments that are written for right hand people ❤

You can carry the yarns up the side. You will only need to weave in the ends at the start and finish of each contrast color. The main color can be carried up the whole time. Either way works, but that is what I am doing on my stripe hype. I didn't want to weave in all those ends.

The back of your Cardi is a trapezoid, not a triangle.

Great recap! I love your sheepskin, and the natural dark farm yarn was a great find. My strategy for shopping at WI Sheep & Wool is very similar - I take pictures to help me make future plans. At the end of my rounds, if there is something I really can’t stop thinking about and don’t think I’ll be able to buy it later, I may go back for it. I try to limit myself to 1-2 small impulse purchases and resist the limited/special editions.

I'm so glad the algorithm showed me your channel! I wanted to go to the festival so bad, it looks right up my alley. I couldn't make it with two babies by myself, but I'd love to join in your knitting community. Our little family moved up to milwaukee last year so I've been trying to get out and meet wholesome folks!

I love your honesty.

I love the way you knit. I love to watch how you hold your yarn and the movement. Very neat to watch.

What a great weekend! Beautiful farm wool ❤

I just found your channel and enjoyed this episode a lot! I had hoped to make it to the Sheep & Wool festival last weekend but had conflicting plans and didn't end up being able to go, so it was nice to see some footage of it. I live in Oshkosh, but I thought it was funny when you mentioned KU, because I grew up less than 2 hours away from Lawrence 😄Thanks for sharing your experience of the two festivals!

Thank you Jacque for a wonderful episode! I swear I could smell the sheep-ishness right through my laptop!! I really enjoyed your "knit and chat" segment too!

Your crushed leaves sweater is BEAUTIFUL 🍂 and that sock set is so beautiful (can’t wait to see it knit up). I’d watch outlander, I read the first book and it was just ok…. I personally like the show better (which is rare because I loooovvve books 📚)

Could you please share needle size, yarn weight, and finished measurements? I just bought the Musselburgh pattern to make one for my sister and you seem to have the same head size! 😆 Seriously, any info is helpful! Thanks! 🧶

Thank you for another fun and uplifting podcast. The video from the Sheep & Wool festival was such fun to watch. Don’t know how you managed to buy only one sweater quantity of yarn! I hope to go to the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival in May 2025. I am a quilter also. I’ve combined my love of wool and quilting by making wool appliqué quilts. You may have seen some at the quilt festival.

I love the video thank you❤

Such a fun weekend! You have such a sweet soul omg 🥹 the way you were talking about thanking and cherishing animals just tugged at my heart

Thank you for sharing about your faith. 😊

Love your artwork, I'm alllll about colours! I have a curly sheep skin in teal, and it doesn't smell sheepy brobably because of the whole dyeing process. It's been living on the back rest of the sofa in a place where we don't actually sit, so it's been holding up super well, it would probably be a different story if we sat on it or the cats slept on it. I just had to put it away when the kittens were small because they would pull out chunks of fur 😄

So fun watching your footage of Sheep and Wool! I saw most of the things you showed. I agree that I wish they would include more vendors that are on the waiting list….like Evergreen Fibers!! I’m so glad you had a good experience-it’s one of my favorite weekends!

This was nice. Thanks for keeping me company while I crocheted. 🧶 I grew up in a hunting family as well. 🦌 The Eva Cardigan is on my list as well. I'm knitting it in black. 🖤 I love going to quilt shows!

Ahh so happy to see another Wisconsin knitter! I don’t have any knitters close to me and craving that! Couldn’t make it to Sheep & Wool this year but sounds like the perfect weather! Also appreciate your kindness & thoughtfulness about animals. I feel the same way ❤

❤

Oh my gosh!! You saw Mitchell Wool Co. I'm about 10 miles from them in Michigan. Love their yarn, and their sweat shirts are the best!! Great summary and how fun that you shared it with friends. Love the way you explained your respect of the animals that provide us with food and fiber. Some of my family hunts, and my brother and SIL are ranchers in california. Trying to convince them to get sheep, but my brother won't build fences that high LOL

I should have taken that kitten home with me!

Please, never rub your face on the wool or skeins like the girl in the video did. Even if it's just a second, she clearly was wearing make up and could have potentially stained the fibre. Other than that, I really enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing.

❤. ❤. ❤.

Sorry I don’t agree with hunting at all. 😢

Thank you for sharing this. I love knitting so much. I enjoy your channel. Is your husband a hunter? I see the stag on the wall 😮

I love the emotional and spiritual connection with your sheepskin and that your cat has also grown attached to it as well ❤

I made 3 Sabai tops in different yarns the designer recommended, she also has another free version on the same pattern without the rib, I made both and they turned out great, will make more in the summer,

Hello from San Diego, awesome podcast, the Cardi Cocoon looks great, check out Danish Musings, Helle made it with a gray mohair yarn, for baby knits check out Norwegian knitter Olena she knits for her son and twin cousins, she also has a chest full of baby knits gifts,

Could you share the pattern name for the black cat color work sweater you show in the intro

In the intro you show a colorwork sweater with a flying witch motif… can you share the name of the pattern?

I love knitting Marie Wallin’s sweaters. I haven’t done a cowl, but several sweaters!!!! Try it you’ll like it!!😂

As a lover of all shades blue and green, I love both shades of teal. On camera, I think there was enough contrast between the teal and navy in your swatch. I would be tempted to use the lighter and darker teal AND the navy. 😂

Thank you for talking to my husband and myself yesterday at the Sheep and Wool show. We had a great time there and will certainly go again. Here is the link to a new knitting podcast I found recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKmTkpWFp79oqJY I enjoy your podcasts very much and thanks for all the information and entertainment you provide.

I found I always got holes doing increases where you pick up the bar between stitches so instead what I do is pick up the purl bump from the stitch below and zero holes.

I also struggle with artist perfection (and the same make one issue). Loveeeee the yarn you are using for the vanilla socks.

Have you ever knit with wool from the Doulton Flock? All their sheep are allowed to live to the end of their natural lives. I’m planning to make a huge purchase because of that and would love to know about the yarn from your perspective.
