The Bakery Bears - Episode 258

Another fabulous castle story. Thank you. Kays new sock design is a beauty with her speckled yarns.

Please please don't give up on that Brooklyn Tweed Targhee. I agree with Dan that he should try it again. It IS different and does feel resistant, BUT once you get acquainted with it, it begins to feel wonderful. And when it's washed and blocked!! My Weekender is my favorite, cozy, light sweater. The funky stitches completely relax into one another....it's magic.

I love BT Shelter, to knit and especially to wear. It's funny how everyone is different on what yarns they like to knit and or wear...very individualized.

[@janeoxley4829]

Interesting historical facts Dan on Castles of England. Thank you Kay for your creativity, lovely knitted projects.

[@BakeryBears]

They’re fascinating buildings Jane and so interesting linking them to today’s world. So glad you enjoyed the show 👍🏻

Former librarian here. If you own the book, write in it. If you borrowed the book, don’t write in it. I have a lot of books, whether they’re from my career as an educator, culinarian, fitness, professional, and now partially retired person who uses her free time, knitting and sewing when she’s not at Disneyland, making people happy, that I have written all over. If I don’t write in them to keep notes of changes, I’ve made then I’ll hell will break loose the next time I make the thing. So librarian is giving permission to write your books lol

[@TheHeritageArtsPodcast]

Love this! I’ll also note that as a used book lover, I personally feel notes in the book add to the value for me, not detract from it!

A little bit of shopping at Polka Dot Creek Yarn! Interestingly enough, I've purchased items from the UK, and they have arrived in Canada quicker than some purchases I've bought from the US. The government postal service works better, which explains why many US companies ship through third-party couriers. Then, the price skyrockets along with brokerage fees at the border. Love the Castle Series!

So lovely watching the show. Nice to hear shout outs for Canadian Yarn shops!

Another wonderful episode. It's great to look forward to spending the evening together 😂 💗😊💞

[@pamelageoghegan8859]

Thank you both for a lovely episode. The Pemberley cowl is beautiful.

[@BakeryBears]

Thank you so much Pamela! X

[@kristinahill3708]

Fabulous episode! I just pulled out all of my fall yarn and project bags. Feeling inspired.

[@lisapully9274]

Dan, that cowl is just stunning! 👏🏼👏🏼 WOW! Love it! Kay, you make knitting socks look so much fun! I wish to one time make at least one pair of socks, but I still haven't. A few reasons why I haven't. 1. I'm scared. Lol 2. I'm too hard on socks. 3. No one in my family would keep hand washing them. So I just look and admire yours. They are so beautiful!

[@BakeryBears]

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your comments! You should definitely give socks a go one day, they’re easier than they look. Also the fit and comfort of a hand knitted sock is just wonderful x

[@lisanakao1043]

Another wonderful episode. Love the cowl. Polkadot creek has beautiful yarn 🧶 colors.

[@HammitCreates]

I so love all the music on this show

[@rociochon2033]

Brilliant storytelling!!!

[@julie68k]

Love the bun Kay! I thought of you today at the grocery store - when I found some spelt flour to make some bread.

[@pambrown8697]

I love these video, beautiful scenery over there..

[@phoener]

I too preferred Addi for sock knitting until I discovered Karbonz circulars! My favorite dpns are Karbonz, but I like to knit two socks at a time. I like the points on Karbonz needles and was glad to find circulars in that brand.

[@janeoxley4829]

The cowl is stunning, love the design.

[@BakeryBears]

Thank you so much Jane! X

Hello from Swansea, Illinois.❤❤😊😊

[@deboraharnold8587]

That’s interesting about the Brooklyn Tweed, I’ve heard so much about it, good to know I’m not really missing out! 😂 Cascade 220 is always a good bet.

[@paulafralick2905]

Do you think your plump sock yarn might br sport weight? A common sock yarn where I live is Kroy. It is labelled sock yarn ( not fingering) but I think that it is sport weight.

[@lorrainelambert9001]

Dan I’m going to miss the castle nation it’s fab 😊😊😊😊

[@BakeryBears]

Thank you soooooo much!! So thrilled you’re enjoying it. If we do our job right you won’t need to miss it, because there’s something coming in 2025 which we think you’re going to love ❤️

[@lorrainelambert9001]

@@BakeryBears ahh can’t wait for than Dan ❤️

[@virginiaotten8216]

Azul profundo may be Portuguese or Spanish which means Deep Blue :)

[@rociochon2033]

Profundo means deep

[@4mld963]

FYI - Godi is an Icelandic pattern - traditionally it would have only been available in one size with minimal details (the expectation was that everyone knew/could work out how to modify a pattern for a different size, and perhaps a solution involving a pattern jog was aesthetically unimportant) - multiple size patterns were not a thing - you are experiencing the authentic generational transmission of the craft of handknitting!

[@BakeryBears]

All absolutely valid points and had I not knitted a number of designs by the same designer before where all the motifs fitted to perfectly, I wouldn’t have had that expectation. Dan
