Ep. 38 - A Fall Knitting Podcast 🍂

[@christinemccloskey7429]

I worked in NYC in the garment industry for years. The fabrics and clothing today are garbage, (from China) . I have been making my own clothing now for a few years and get so many compliments on my garments. When you wear beautiful clothing that has quality, it makes you feel wonderful.

[@brookwillow]

It’s true 😭 there really is nothing better than wearing a handmade garment!

[@lindayoung7303]

Styling your knits is a great idea! I can’t wait to see it. Thank you!

[@brookwillow]

Yay! Ok I’m gonna do it ☺️

[@Moorandmist]

100% behind the Girl Math of buying a spinning wheel and learning to spin so it works out cheaper than spin cycle. Exactly the sort of thing I would do! Your nightshift is absolutely stunning

[@brookwillow]

Girl math for the win 🥰🥰

[@CleliaPerez-d4g]

First time here. What a great podcast. I did watch the whole video. What a sweet voice you have. Love your socks. Makes me want to learn how to knit them. Socks scare me 😂😂😂 I’m good at raglan sweaters and baby blanket. I’m a grandma I definitely will try socks. You have inspired me. Thank you

[@brookwillow]

Oh I hope you do make socks! They are so fun. My first pair of socks I’ve ever knit were the Everyday socks by Andrea Mowry. That’s a nice pattern for when you are just learning!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

What a gorgeous Nightshift! My favorite I’ve seen so far ❤❤❤ I wish I listened to my own advice 😅

[@brookwillow]

Haha time to make another one!!

[@lucilesenseney5556]

Yes...to a styling video.

[@brookwillow]

Ok! I’ll add it to the plans 😃

[@Chammychan1]

Oooooo myyy gosh!!! I absolutely loved everything you made 😆😍🤩 That blouse looks gourges with that fabric and it got me thinking if I whould make it how whould I wear it. And I got - with a black turtle neck under becouse I get cold very easily. That shawl in those colors just screams autumn 😍😍🙏 drop dead gourges 😍 And the socks were super cute 🥰 the ones with three colors were a fun tutch 😁❤️ I'm thinking if I got some yarn to sort of make a par like that 🤔😄 And YES PLEASE!! Do a pod about how you stil your Knitt/crochet wear 🙏 I need some inspiration. I have to up date my wardrobe becouse my body have change alot more after baby nr 2, after the first one I could hopp right back into my clothes I wore before I got pregnent 😅 😐 Thank you so much for an evening with a tone of inspiration and the smile you put on my face 🙏🥰🥰 I hope you will have a wonderful time doing what you love, with the ones you love 🥰❤️ Happy autumn and (a bit early I know 😉 but I can't wait 😆) Happy Halloween 🎃🎃👻👻

[@brookwillow]

Haha Happy Halloween to you too!! Such a fun time of year ☺️ I will def do a styling video!

[@jessicalevy4453]

I forgot that it was Yarnover this weekend, but I had to work anyway. Do you ever go to the fiber festival at the Isanti County fairgrounds in Cambridge, or the Shepherd’s Harvest festival in Lake Elmo?

[@brookwillow]

I’ve been to the Isanti County one a couple years ago and loved it! I may go again this year. Sadly I’ve been busy every time the other one has gone on which sucks because I live pretty close to that one. But maybe next year I’ll finally make it 😊

[@jessicav606]

Would love to see a knit styling video from you ❤

[@brookwillow]

I think I’ll do it and I have a fun idea of how I’ll film it 😃

[@originthreadcraft]

Obsessed with your Night Shift colors and how it all turned out! I also joined School of Sweet Georgia a few months ago--mainly for the spinning education. It's such a cool resource! Way better than Netflix (which I cancelled to justify the cost lol).

[@duk-soonolivieri9805]

I would love the idea of the video of you styling your knots. I think every person has different ways… and it is always nice to share. Thanks

[@brookwillow]

Ok awesome! I’ll add that to my plans 😊

[@kaitlinlewis2450]

I so would make one for my Dog Skyla and she doesn't mind her collar at all and has worn a shirt because of abscess a few years ago, but she has pointed ears. So I will have to figure out how to allow Skyla to cover her ears if she wants to. I bought some fiber from Anoka Fiber Works and I am on a No buy as to encourage me to use up some fiber and I am working on Decluttering so no buy for a long while.

[@brookwillow]

You’ll have to make her little ear socks ☺️

[@christineb2797]

I love your blouse . I think about doen blouses waaaaaaayyyyy more I should . As soon as you showed up I thought that looks like a doen blouse . Your knits are also lovely. Styling videos are great

[@brookwillow]

Omg same haha. Their stuff is all so cool! And thank you ☺️

[@sarawormewoole9284]

I would love to have you do a styling video!

[@brookwillow]

Yay ok I’m gonna do it! 😃

[@claudiahuffmaster8249]

Yes would love to see different ways to style. Sari Nordlund does that and it is so nice to see the different ways she wears.

[@brookwillow]

I love Sari’s videos!

[@SylkyJ100]

Awesome episode as usual! Your knitting is super gorgeous and I would love to see a video where you style your knits because you always provide me with lots of inspiration! Your doggie cowl is pretty sweet!! Hugs from Texas!!

[@brookwillow]

Aww yay! I think I’m planning to do one for my next video ☺️

[@Tashaygm]

Your Nightshift is a stunner! 😍😍😍

[@brookwillow]

Thank you!!

[@gardin-b]

Enjoyed all your content , love all the varied fibre / sew you share. Am looking forward to following your weaving project also. All inspiring, and I would enjoy you showing styling your makes.

[@brookwillow]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@Meredith36]

I just liked and subscribed. This was very fun. I love your handspun!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

So glad I found you! You’re so pretty, natural and well-spoken, I really enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing more of your projects and ideas. 🎉

[@susanfletcher3329]

Where in Western Wisconsin do you live? I live around Black River Falls and you might be a neighbor. Just found your podcast

[@Anotherprairiegirl]

Thank you for sharing your sewing projects as well. ❤️🇨🇦

[@catherinemccurdy7518]

I just found your channel and I really enjoyed your video. I Also knit, spin, quilt and sew. Regarding your blouse, you might consider putting in neck darts to help with the excess fabric. Also, regarding the blouse, wear a coordinating tank under it. That way you can ditch the strapless bra, no adjustments needed.

[@maryp1224]

Love Love Love the colors of your Shift Shawl. Your handspun is beautiful. do you have any advice for your wheel?

[@katelliott7124]

I love seeing/ hearing about how you style accessories cause I often don't make things like shawls cause I'm not sure how I would put it into my outfits! I'd like to watch a video of you styling any other accessories you've made, especially Fall ones :)

[@brookwillow]

Ooh ok im going to do the video and I’ll make sure to incorporate some accessories as well 😊

[@lisaelam1522]

I would love to see how you style your knits!

[@brookwillow]

Ok yay! I think I’m going to do that for my next video 😊

[@susicoplan1947]

Wow!! Such beautiful work! LOVE the Nightshift - true artistry! You should feel wonderful in that work of art!

[@brookwillow]

Thank you so much 🥹 it was so fun to make! I’d do it all over again

[@LecksGetCozy]

Just found your channel on my home feed, I’m so excited to watch more videos! I used to live in the MSP area a few years ago and wished I had visited ArtScrapes too! I’m now also in wisconsin! So excited to have found your channel😊

[@fionatheologous7542]

Yes, I would love you to do a video of styling knits. Your shawl is fabulous. Really enjoying your podcasts. 😊

[@brookwillow]

Ok sweet! I think I have a fun idea of how I’ll do it. Thank you so much 🥰

[@kaylalawrence588]

Hi! Just found your podcast and enjoy it so much. I’m from Wisconsin too!

[@WispsandWool]

That Nightshift is gorgeous! I would love to see how you spun the yarn to mimic Spincycle 😊

[@brookwillow]

Thank you! Next time I spin something similar I’ll make sure to film it ☺️

[@wendiesharp8768]

I would love a video of you styling your knits! Always a great time hanging out with you

[@this_skipper_knits959]

I'd love a styling episode! Also finish Fridays, I'm going to try this too 🤗

[@erivallejo]

I would love to see how you style your knits. I could get some inspiration 😀

[@davidnaomiold6303]

A video on styling knits would be great.😊

[@janetshepherd9062]

I would love to see your styling your knits.

[@fjellrosastrikkepodcast]

Thank you for this cosy podcast. Fallgreetings from Gurli from Norway 🇳🇴😍🤗🙃

[@brookwillow]

You are so welcome!

[@normasmith9596]

Great podcast

[@brookwillow]

Thank you ☺️

[@leann.stitches]

Just found your channel! Love all your fall knitting. I’ve been seeing the Tessellated Pullover everywhere and now I think I need to make one. ❤ your color choices!

[@brookwillow]

It sure is a fun one to knit so far 😃

[@tyedyediva9671]

Hello! I am a new subscriber. I really love your reasoning for starting to spin your own yarn. I love spincycle too, but I just can’t justify it for every color changing project. Your shawl is beautiful!

[@brookwillow]

I’ve never worked with Spincycle but appreciate its beauty! But I’m also happy we are able to make something similar too ☺️

[@lauriegray1900]

Just stumbled across your podcast, and I love it :-) I love your makes, and I will surely enjoy watching your past episodes while waiting for the newest ones to come out.

[@brookwillow]

Ohhh yay I’m glad you enjoyed it 😃

[@saetastrikk]

I would love to see how you style your knitrobe. 🤩

[@MsJordieLynn]

I am a fellow South Dakotan that just moved to north central Iowa. Maybe someday we will cross paths. Your videos are so inspiring & I hope one day to be able to knit my own clothes as well. I say do a styling videos, everyone has a different style!

[@brookwillow]

I believe in you to make your own clothes! It’s so fun and rewarding ☺️

[@ambortion212]

How is your smokebush doing? I’m still thinking about it from like a year + ago.

[@brookwillow]

It is doing well! Just a little baby right now ☺️

[@CleliaPerez-d4g]

Hello

[@brookwillow]

Hi 👋

[@kalenreichert]

Your plaid blouse is beautiful! I also find wide necklines uncomfortable. Perhaps a crochet or lacy trim in a coordinating color could bring in the neckline?

[@brookwillow]

This is a very nice idea! I’ll explore some ideas on what I can do like that ☺️

[@slapperorange]

I would love to see a styling video that goes further than the “just wear the pullover/cardi with jeans”. I second the shawl styling, I don’t make them because I don’t know how to wear them. Would love to see different types of shawls/scarfs and how you style them :)

[@brookwillow]

I was thinking in my head for this video “I can’t style everything with jeans” haha. I’ll make sure to get creative with it!

[@orionj2]

Another lovely episode - sorry you had to make it twice! Enjoy all the fall coziness 🍂

[@brookwillow]

Thank you! ❤️

[@marybakalars564]

LOVE the blouse!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

I really like the Nepheline Blouse and Nightshift Shawl combo. The Rib Lace Raglan looks great as well.

[@brookwillow]

Once I edited the video of me putting the shawl on I was like “hmm I’m gonna have to wear these two together!” Thank you 😊

[@weaveandwobble]

You will love gist! I have used it and sold it in my store for years. Really lovely!

[@brookwillow]

Oh I’m so happy to hear!! I’m excited 😃

[@carolbyrne3241]

Would love to see a styling video, I could certainly use the help lol Really enjoyed you podcast ❤

[@brookwillow]

Coming soon!

[@aliciagonlag7695]

I absolutely love all your different setups!🌸

[@brookwillow]

Thank you so much!!

[@franmcavoy4439]

I love your podcast and would to see how you style your knits.

[@brookwillow]

Yay I’m gonna do it!

[@cruxandcloverknits]

Your Nightshift Shawl is STUNNING!! Your hard work really shines! I'm super curious about weaving. I would love to see some content of it once you get started (:

[@mlea79]

I’d love a style your knits video. I find it so tricky.

[@brookwillow]

I’d be happy to! 😃

[@jessicathomas162]

I can’t wait to see your woven hand towels! I have a rigid heddle loom that never gets touched, but you’re inspiring me to bring it out soon! 🤍

[@AHandKnitLetter]

Had a great time knitting and hanging out with you.

[@brookwillow]

Thank you Becky!! I’m excited to watch your latest 🤩

[@maryloper7275]

Your shawl looks beautiful!

[@brookwillow]

Thank you so much! 😃

[@SONDERknit]

Beautiful projects as always ❤❤

[@brookwillow]

Thank you ☺️ I miss seeing you’re knitting! I hope you are doing well ❤️

[@dianecusack145]

I really enjoyed your fall knitting. Your style is really appealing and I would love to see a styling video. For your sewn blouse - how about opening the back neck finishing and adding a box pleat? Many men's shirts do this below the back yolk as reference. I can almost feel how snug it would feel afterward. 😊

[@brookwillow]

This is an awesome idea! I’m going to pin the blouse into a box pleat and see how it feels and maybe I’ll do that! Thank you ☺️

[@marinaveraart2573]

You’re such a great creator. Love seeing your work. 💕

[@Tashaygm]

Thanks!

[@brookwillow]

You are so kind. Thank you!!

[@apippin774]

OK, try not to say “like” in every sentence.

[@brookwillow]

Oh gosh I’ve tried but I guess it’s stuck with me 🥲
