Yessss the "balls" instead of "metres" for a pattern is my pet peeve! My favourite is when the designer tells you the "recommended" yarn and its putup (metres per 100g) and then tells you the meterage needed for your size. Being in Australia, a lot of yarns available in Europe and the USA aren't available here, so I need to find similar putups. Actually my all-time favourite is when they give you like 4 or 5 different yarns that they recommend!
@AllHomesteading 3 күн бұрын
Bingo! I almost never use the recommended yarn and just adjust my needles accordingly to get gauge but math isn’t my strong suit so it’s helpful when they provide balls and yardage/meterage for each size 😄 Thanks for watching!

thank you so much for this work! It could be useful to provide a list of BIPOC creators. do you have this available anywhere? I found this video because of my interest in diversity and representation in this space. if you can share content creators you admire, it would be lovely. thank you

Hi, thanks for watching and your comment. No, I don’t have a list of BIPOC creators. I have done my bit in this video and in my other videos to give a nod to some of the other creators of colour I enjoy at the time of producing said videos. Furthermore, I don’t really think it is my job to provide a ready made list. I think if this is your own interest, help small creators like myself by sharing videos like this and actively looking out for and liking/sharing our content. This needs to be a shared burden. 🙏🏾
@brendaolimires 10 күн бұрын
@@AllHomesteading thank you for your reply and for your work. I agree with you. I would like to highlight that at no point I demanded a list nor saw this as an obligation from your part. It was precisely because of the idea of sharing the burden and facilitating access (in order to combat the predominance of white creators) that I *consulted* on the *possibility* of having a more experienced person leaving a list right down below the video with some suggestions. I will leave some creators I know below to anyone who might be trying to get to know more people. I would be lovely if anyone else could share their suggestions too.

your cardigan looks great!! I think you can probably block out that arm issue, pulling the narrower part out a bit to make it more even maybe? I use eucalan or outback gold wool wash that has lanolin in it... both have a mild scent and eucalan comes in unscented. I have alot to mend too but have been procrastinating! thanks for the podcast today!

I rarely use the yarn called for in a pattern, especially if the called for yarn is over my budget. So I had to pause to tell you what I do when a pattern only lists number of balls/ skeins of yarn and not yards/meters. I will look for that yarn on line, anywhere it is sold, and get the yardage or meters per skein from there. For example, I just checked Lettlopi at The Wool Warehouse and it is listed at 100 meters per 50g skein. So if the pattern calls for 6 skeins, that would be 600 meters. I could then shop for other comparable yarns and know I need at least 600 meters. Hope you find that helpful. Also, your cardigan is coming together beautifully!

@@tiateri541 hi yes, thank for the tip! That’s what I did but had a doubt! I didn’t want the stress of yarn chicken so thought it best to get a couple more skeins to be sure, you know how it is… 😁

The cardigan is beautiful. I love the mud cloth sweater too. I told myself that I am going to commit to one hard colorwork and one hard cable a year. So if it takes a long time it will be ok. That does mean that I have to learn how to do two at a time sleeves on Magic loop. I am going to learn how to do that with socks so sleeves won’t take so long. Can’t wait to see your halibut sweater. Those are great colors. I use Knit IQ wool wash. It is gentle and has lanolin and lavender scent in it. It’s from Amazon. Happy Knitting 🧶 PS so sorry about Bunky.

Hi Stephanie, and thank you! I too still need to learn two at a time colourwork.

@@stephaniewilliams8687 Hi Stephanie! For me, it’s a great Aran weight yarn that is very affordable, lightweight and warm! Admittedly, it is very rustic to the touch but what I love about that is that after a few washes, it really softens up. I don’t know whereabouts you are and whether you get cold winters but if you’re not wool-sensitive, it’s the perfect yarn for those thick cardigans and sweaters that can double up as a jacket and things like mittens and hats etc that need to be a little water resistant yet warm so I like to have a few balls in stash for that, at all times 😁

@@AllHomesteading I live in Florida. I’ll be moving north in two or three years to be close to my family. I go up north a lot in the winter and freeze. I have a hard time regulating my body temperature so I was thinking about knitting one or two Aran sweaters to have for when I travel. I saw that they sell this yarn at Wool Warehouse. I may buy a skein and knit up a swatch. I love to try new yarns. It’s worth a try since I am definitely moving and I can keep it at my mom’s. (Although she is known to “adopt” my clothes. 😊)

Commenting mostly to help engagement. I don't mean to contradict your points at all and I really appreciated your writing, but I would like to share that I just started to get into crochet this year, and haven't engaged with this craft online at all until now, but my feeds on youtube and tiktok are easily 50% or more people of color. I don't have to preface anything about race, my algo just feeds me a nice mix of creators. I wonder if my experience is new? Are things starting to change? Or am I the only one with a feed like this? Again, I completely believe that your experience is exactly as you say, but mine has been different so far. I'm just curious. Thanks for the essay!
