Episode 11: All the Cast ons, Stick Season beanie, some sewing and of course pocket yarn snippets

[@hildaandrews8150]

Thanks for so many good ideas! Now I want to make cotton napkins, cast on the Stick Season Hat and make lovely Christmas socks adding to the never ending list. It’s all fun!

Yay it’s all so fun !

Great episode Mari. I agree about the colourwork yokes, the front of them come up in front of your face when you lift your arms up and then your muffin top shows...not attractive at any age.😂 I like the raglan or drop shoulder styles as well plus the short rows in back either at neck line or lower back before the ribbing...or both. 🥰🇨🇦Sharon.

Yes! Thank you!

all your knits are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Great idea to make napkins. I recently started using cloth napkins to cut down on my paper usage. never thought to make them myself. Have a fantastic holiday.

Thank you so much for your kind note.

Another great episode Mari! Your sweater looks so beautiful on you but I am the same with circular yoke sweaters, I always just feel *uncomfortable* in them. I have definitely settled on drop shoulder as my absolute favorite fit. Your blue striped sweater is gorgeous! As are your mistletoe socks, they are going to be so festive and cozy!! 😍😍 Enjoy your time with your son home from school!

Oh thank you!

Yep I switch my dominance with yarn through the project depending on which colour I want to pop. Your cotton grass looks great on you! I knit one too and think it’s a really nice sweater.

Yay thanks ❤

Your sweater is beautiful on you. The color is perfect. My favorite beanie for myself and for gifts is the MS Beanie by Woolly Wormhead. It’s a free pattern. I think I’ve made 7 to date. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas!

Oooo I’m going to look that up right now ❤ thanks

Really enjoy your podcasts Mari! I do change my color dominance with color work, based on which color I want to pop. I prefer 2 handed color work so I will change which hand tensions the yarns to change the dominance.

Ok thank you I’ve been doing that for this sock but once a pair of black and white mittens i could tell I switched, which was kind of crazy
