arieknits Ep. 86 - Traveler Shawl Cast On and More Spinning Mojo!

[@astitchofgreen]

All the pretty knits and spins! The Greybow turned out so nice, and I can't wait to see the finished angora blend. This was the perfect video to watch as I tried to get a lot of sleeve knitting done.

Thank you friend! 🥹

With each one of your episodes I am more and more tempted to learn how to spin. I love the greybow yarn and agree it would be so beautiful for some colourwork.

[@arieknits]

Aw thank you!! I love sharing the spinning love with more people!

I’m not usually a big fan of tweed, but I really like how your Ballard is turning out. You might want to put a lightbulb stitch marker through both of the little holes in your interchangeable needle cables to hold them together and prevent your stitches from flying off the cable.

[@arieknits]

THIS is the best idea! Now I just need to find my lightbulb stitch markers haha!

Ballard Pullover is amazing 🩶

[@arieknits]

Aw thank you!

[@oldwitchknits-Ursula]

Love the colour of your Flaneur top!

[@arieknits]

aww thank you! The color was a bit out of my comfort zone but it has grown on me!

[@villapulla]

I really enjoy live streams so I think that's a great idea!

[@arieknits]

Yay! Okay I'm going to try to make it happen, date TBA hehe.

[@jeknkn]

Yay, the picot edge came out so cute!

[@arieknits]

I love it! Thank you so much for the suggestion!

[@SundayMorningKnits]

Ahhh I also LOVE OMIB!!!! It's sooooooooo good! I haven't watched the first episode yet because my partner and I are waiting until they all come out so we can binge them but I'm so excited!!! Your greybow spin is sooooooo beautiful!!

[@arieknits]

YAAAAY! I'm so excited for season 4 and I am so happy they got renewed for season 5!!

Howdy! I wanted to comment on the handspun yardage, I find that when I thwack my yarn it loses a significant amount of yardage (I think I average like 10-20%), so I try to limit it unless the plied and washed yarn isn't as balanced as I'd like. I'm curious what Rambioullet specifically does when thwacked, I've only thwacked more medium wools

[@arieknits]

This is super great information! I usually just finish all my yarn the same way by snapping and sometimes thwacking on the ground if I feel like it haha.

[@megm202]

@@arieknits It's a fascinating process either way, there's no right or wrong way to finish yarn!

Do you know if there’s a hashtag for the knitwear in Only Murders in the Building- I wanted to show it to my SIL as she watches too but hadn’t noticed the sweaters!!

[@arieknits]

I don't know of a hashtag for it but that is actually such a great idea! 😮

[@debracoulter]

[@arieknits]

Thank you so much for watching!
