Episode 48 - Ranunculus, Ranunculi

[@cbs70]

I LOVE your KZbin Webcast (or vlog). You have such a warm, friendly, strong & wordly personality. You clearly express your ideas, thoughts & experiences. You make the effort to be respectful & correctly pronounce words as they are meant to sound. Because you complete so many knits, you really inspire many of us. Thank you for expanding my horizons & ENABLING 😜 the heck out of my knitting mojo!!! I gave colorwork a try because of you. I am now dozens of colorwork patterns richer, I've dyed non-superwash fingering, dk merino & icelandic worsted yarn to start knitting more pullovers or cardigans (which ofcourse I now HAVE-TO steek...geez!). All. Your. Fault! I was an innocent subscriber, just plotting along, happily knitting socks. Now I'm a fiend & also find myself testing the Lumme pullover for Sari Nordlund. I absolutely love knitting, thank you for the inspiration & the company you provide while I knit & while in lockdown. Best wishes!

[@angelaschapiro4268]

I will start my first Ranunculous sweater soon. I love your videos. I lost my dad as well Oct 2018. Knitting was the only way to cope. After 1 year, I decided to use up my wool stash slowly! Getting tips helps too. Very relaxing hobby & is good for memory too with all the calculations!

[@nancybwilborn6752]

Selma, l love your podcasts. You set the atmosphere for calm with all of your beautiful scenery shots and of course your lovely calm and lady like demeanor. Your work is top notch and I really enjoy seeing all of your works in progress as well as the finished ones. The array of yarns is stunning. Thank you for sharing with us.💕

[@littlebigknits]

Thanks to you for your lovely comments!! ☺️☺️ glad you enjoy the podcast!!

[@susanbruty4727]

Thank you Selma. Lovely as always. I restarted knitting at the beginning of the first lockdown here in the UK and wow what a joy. I didn't know about knitting podcasts but I discovered you and binged from the beginning! You and some other lovely podcasters have taught me so much. A Felix just about to leave my needles as we speak. Thank you again. x

[@alisoncaronflyingfree]

Happy Easter to you too hon. I like to listen to old Agatha Christie stories on KZbin whilst I'm knitting or crocheting. You do beautiful work and you inspire me to learn more and to dare more. Thank you.

[@suebrown436]

That is such a lovely photo of you and Paula - I know you will treasure it, and your tribute was beautiful, Selma. Seeing your lovely Ranunculi, I now know this must be a future make for me. I always pick up another pattern or two every time I watch your podcast. Hope you're having a wonderful Easter, dear lady. ❤️

[@krisnugent1250]

Thanks for sharing your walk. You can see that spring is a burbling thought under the snow...soon.

[@valeriedimilia6902]

What a beautiful tribute to Paula, so thoughtful and heartfelt. We all lost a treasured podcast friend and I miss her kindness, enthusiasm, knowledge, and creativity that she put into each episode so much. You deserve every kind and generous comment. You share such a thoughtful approach to knitting and I hope to make a runuculous as beautiful as yours one day. Hugs from Oregon! Valerie

[@littlebigknits]

She was a very special person for sure ❤️

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

Thanks for all your enthusiasm for your projects to come, I find it quite inspiring

[@janetgoier23]

Oh, my, I just checked to see if you had a recent podcast less than an hour ago, and was sad to see there was nothing, and then this came up! ❣️ I love your Ranuncului! I am knitting on my ninth one as I watch this. I have four daughters and knit one for each of them, and I just can't stop, for all of the reasons you mentioned. 😀 I also had the same thing happen with knitting the yoke that you experienced with forgetting the K1, several times. My eye just passed over that part! LOL I am currently knitting one in just mohair by itself, inspired by The Knitting Traditions podcast. ❣️ It will probably go to my oldest daughter, Aimee, as the color is perfect for her. Speaking of compliments when wearing Ranunculus, my daughter Kate is a teacher, and one day when she was wearing her purple Ranunculus, her principal, a man, complimented her on it. When she said that her mom had knit it for her, her principal replied, "Wow, I thought you'd bought it at Anthropologie!" , which is a rather pricey women's clothing store here in the US. It did make me smile, for sure! Both of your Ranuncului in progress are beautiful, but I confess that now I want to knit one in olive green. 😍

[@littlebigknits]

Wow!! I know there are people who have knit many ranunculus! I wonder if there is anyone else who has knit 9! I’m glad you are out there! I have actually been thinking of making one for a friend of mine who always comments on mine. Happy knitting!

[@OMGrannySquare]

I love the Ranunculus pattern. it is gorgeous. the socks are really beautiful, i've never knitted a pair of socks ever. I have made aran knits - cables are my favourite but socks have always seemed so daunting. Oh that Wabi Sabi shop is gorgeous. Congrats to the winner of your giveaway!! Thank you for a wonderful podcast.

[@jenniferwiltrout1975]

I came across your podcasts a week ago and fell in love with it. Hence, I have binge watched ALL your podcasts. You do a wonderful job and are an inspiration to me in many ways. One being your swatching which I've never enjoyed doing, but now have a new outlook thanks to you. I'll be doing a swatch before beginning the Dissent sweater by Andrea Rangel. Thank you many times over for your podcasts.

[@littlebigknits]

Some people are very serious About swatching... I can’t say I fall in that camp but I’m probably a B+ student 😆 I rarely make a full square and block it for example unless the yarn is unusual and I have no clue how it’s going to behave. Thank you for taking the time to watch all the episodes!! That is dedication!!

[@Lynnefromlyn]

Thank you Selma for a wonderful afternoon’s entertainment. It’s a week later, and here in England there os no respite on our media at the moment. I so enjoy your calm and soothing voice and the beautiful knitting. Those lovely silver knitting rings look interesting- though to be honest I “ knot with both hands” when I’m doing colour work, so my yarn is on different sides of me. My mouth is watering at the sight of all those lovely yarns...time to get back to my stash and have a play!

[@littlebigknits]

Yes I think the knitting rings work with continental knitting as far as I know. Let’s hope for some respite soon!! 🤗

[@vickyhinz5097]

Very enjoyable podcast. Your projects are so beautiful. I would really enjoy seeing the sock parade, as I am trying to knit my first pair of socks 🧦. Looking forward to your next podcast ☺️

[@judyl3492]

You are an inspiration. Such beautiful projects and your colour choice is stunning. Thanks for taking the time to share. I am trying to purchase yarn from Canada so getting hints on them is just what I needed. Can’t wait till you share your talent again.

[@leighmclean1551]

Hello Selma, I have been watching you podcast for a year or more and really enjoy it, especially the beginning and ending videos of Ottawa. I grew up there but have been living in NS for almost 40 yrs now. I want to thank you for enabling me to buy more yarn :) from Alley Cat Yarns. Melissa also helped with her email re provincial tax being charged as of May 1. So some fingering singles are coming my way to be paired with some mohair silk from Les Garcons to make my first Ranunculus. If it turns out and she likes it the sweater will be a gift for my daughter on her birthday at the end of this month. Also the Nutriden yarn , I first heard about this yarn from Lisa on Knitting by the Sea podcast, a spinner/knitter in Marblehead US, and you may want to try Fleece and Harmony podcast, 2 sisters who grow, mill and dye their own yarn on PEI. Until your next podcast stay healthy!

[@chebbiereadsandknits672]

Yes. Awesome Granny is in Texas. I went on a whim and ordered her bags over Christmas. I love them!

[@jeanlong1400]

Thank you Selma for the most perfect Saturday morning watching you and knitting on a sweater. I need a ranunculus in my wardrobe....I have thought so since I first saw yours in Larne but now I need to get making! Have a wonderful Easter 🐣

[@littlebigknits]

So many people are commenting here too on the ranunculus I may have to host a Kal in this group too!!

[@angieanderson6082]

Beautiful sweaters and yarns! Thank you for sharing your journey and the finished items. Congrats Karen!!

[@janethogan8387]

Good morning! I enjoyed this podcast early this morning. All of your knits are so inspiring and beautiful. I have yarn for the Ranunculus and it has been waiting for me to get it started! Maybe I will start it this weekend! Thank you for the tip about the increases. Thank you also for the wonderful ideas for project bags, yarn, podcasts etc. Wishing you and your family a happy Easter.

[@jillanncook9537]

Thanks for showing us your wools and knits. I’ve been getting my wools and patterns in line, and saw a few more ideas from you, but I’m still just stuck on a safe, wool scarf. I do think that I’m ready to get started on a sweater. Thank you. Between you and Kate, my courage is definitely increasing.

[@andrealandsburg8882]

Another lovely afternoon with Selma..always interesting and inspiring....I love the variety of topics and your life catch ups..be well, be safe, Selma and Happy Spring to you and yours! PS.I completely understand about finding the perfect sweater..and knitting it over and over..there's nothing better!

[@ericallerton809]

Always enjoy UR podcasts ,SELMA! A perfect way to start my day!Thank you,,,, Congrats to winner!!! Hope to jump on board with UR make along colorwork ,,,,Will hope to try a simple hat to start,,,,Never have done anything like that,,, Loved all UR makes,,, Elaine🏡🏡🏡

[@cindyg.8425]

Loved the podcast. I am a cuff down sock gal.... now you have me thinking that I need to try a toe up pattern. So will look into patterns, thank you for this thought. I as well think the shawl you mentioned by your friend who recently died is a nice design that would fit nicely in my shawl knitting. Such a beautiful tribute you made. Thank you for an enjoyable podcast.

[@sandybassett4901]

So happy to have watched your podcast for the first time. Look forward to your next episode. Thank you for sharing about Paula, and honoring her. I wondered how she was as it had been quite some time ago since her last episode with her sister. I wasn't aware she had passed away. God bless her and her family. RIP Paula. -StitchedbyMimi

[@Lisamakes]

I joined a knitting group when I first got to Sitges and brought a sock I was working on. The older ladies in the group were fascinated- and now they’re all making socks! I’ve also converted them to circular needles and magic loop. ;) Great pod, as always!

[@littlebigknits]

Excellent!!!

[@yarntaxi2176]

Thank you for a well thought out podcast...I agree...knitting brings us joy and quiet time. Thank you for honoring Paula’s memory. She was an amazing person who touched so many lives.

[@sharonrego823]

Loved your podcast Selma. Lovely to spend time with you and your knitting this morning. I’m down the road in Kingston 🧶😊🇨🇦

[@francineoleskiw9200]

Thank you very much Selma! It was such a joy to watch your podcast today. Your beautiful projects and thoughtful comments inspire me to continue my journey of discovery into the world of knitting. The Alley Cats yarn is stunning and I will have to look into it further. Joyeux printemps!

[@AnneBeamish]

I am so glad I found your vlog! Nice to see a fellow Canadian knitter. The olive green Ranunculus is so beautiful. I am casting one on with Juniper Moon Zooey as part of a class.

[@angelajenkins3952]

Selma, your words about Paula were so beautiful. You always say the right thing at the right time. As always, your knitting is amazing and I leave your episodes with so many ideas. Thank you!

[@littlebigknits]

Oh my, thank you so much. It doesn’t always feel right but I’m glad if the message gets through. I will miss Paula and I find myself thinking about her a lot. ❤️

[@elaporte1]

I’m knitting a Ranunculus now and I did that same thing forgetting to knit that 1st stitch. So I also wrote a note to remember.

[@sandrabrooke5900]

Just found your podcast and I love it. You inspire me to knit more and try new things. I will be watching you more in the future.

[@MarshaNovak]

Really enjoy your podcast. So agree with the meditative aspect of knitting and your gentle presence supports that. I also love 💕 the grays and lilacs.

[@ednaquintana6201]

Hi. I am enjoying your videos. You are a great knitter. I enjoy looking at your projects. They are beautiful. I am enjoying knitting knitting and crocheting again. Take Care.😊

[@michelem9842]

Lovely video. Such a joy to sit with you. Thank you for sharing. Think I may have to cast on the Nuuk sweater.

[@carb101]

This is my first time to watch, and I will certainly be back. Thank you.

[@cindyengels3450]

Txs a lot love your works. The dark Brown is perfect as cuff, heel and to. As the rest is sooo prettty together. Perfect contrast i think

[@urbanstylejantine810]

Thanks for keeping me company while folding piles of laundry! It definitely made the time go quicker!

[@enidshaw3852]

WOW!!! The LUMME sweater is fantastic, and you have done a lot in the time so far. As usual, an enjoyable episode. The winners will get beautiful yarn. enjoy this weekend and keep taking care xxxx

[@patricialeib6565]

Good podcast. Again. Wonderful footage at end in particular. So relaxing & pretty.

[@valeriejohnson1043]

I just got some faded peony natural sock from Emma. Yes, you have the breed blend correct. Can’t wait to cast on some socks

[@craftymystic4868]

In The Garden of Good and Evil! A treat of a book, and to help understand it, if you’ve not spent time in the American South, being 15 minutes late and no rush is the atmosphere. So of course the author will slow you down to stroll along those magnolias.........❤️🙏🏽 Namaste

[@littlebigknits]

Good point!!

[@jandkcon]

Always enjoy your pattern and yarn choices, and love that you are often considering pulling back a project that you know won’t work! Beautiful home, fun personality 😉👍🌷

[@VascoKnits]

Thank you Selma for another lovely podcast and for saying what you did. Thank you for giving your time and energy in recording your podcast and giving us joy in the craft. I don’t have any knitting friends, so watching like minded people talk about the craft is lovely. My partner thinks I’m mad..... bless him... anyway, looking forward to the next episode. Wish men could wear a Ranunculus too.... sadly not.... 😆 happy crafting

[@littlebigknits]

Thank you! Men wearing ranunculus 😂😂 let him think you are mad!!!

[@carolmaize94]

Oh that test knit you are doing is just beautiful! Love that colour way. And am most impressed that you can produce a colour work sweater in so short a time - it would take me months! x

[@annemacdonald2516]

You are such an inspiring knitter❤️ Keep your podcasts coming please, and continue to stay healthy

[@palaklein]

Thank you Selma so much for that lovely podcast, it is always a joy to watch. 😊

[@judithtaylor6916]

Swap around the colours of the sock. Put the dark grey/brown? at the toe end as it will be in your shoe. And put the pale blue up either before the pink or after.

[@NatalochkaKovalova]

I also test knitted that colorwork pullover by Sari Nordlund. Main is in green colours. And I really like your combination too. Worsted weight sweaters is going soo fast.

[@bonniedyer8875]

Thank you for the wonderful podcast, I always love to watch and see your beautiful projects. It has inspired me to knit more sweaters. I’m so glad you share your ideas. I also bought a ring , can’t wait to use it .❤️❤️

[@bonniek.markham1148]

I love your Runuculus. It inspired me to put it in my queue. That test knit color work is so lovely. Your color choices are perfect.

[@areumfibers]

You’ve inspired me to make a Ranunculus top 🥰 Lovely podcast ✨

[@April_Davis]

I'm so sorry you're having to go into another lockdown. 🙏 I'm always so glad to see your podcast. Such a treat. I gotta say I love how you pronounce everything as it should be. All your Ranunculi are lovely. You make me want to take the plunge and knit one for myself. Have a lovely week, sweetie. 🌻

[@littlebigknits]

I say go for it!! Hello to you too!

[@carolinvonfritsch5312]

Happy Easter to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your knittaffection.

[@lwright622]

Thank you so much for the tribute to Paula. I have to say you are the first knitting podcaster that I have heard honor her. She is so deserving and was such an influence in our community. I am participating in the Pipers Journey knit a long. She will be missed but never forgotten.

[@littlebigknits]

She was a special person to me and to so many. I feel like I forgot to say a bunch of things I had wanted to say but I got the essence out. I look forward to all the shawl tributes to her!! ❤️❤️

[@suegodfrey4794]

So lovely to.spend time with you again Selma. Love everything as always and yay to the Ranunculus. I am.looking at yarn today to.plan what I can use..love Sue x

Enjoyed this very much....your inspiration led me to want to knit my own ranunculus.

Thank you for sharing your knittings and have a lovely spring!

Thank you for another great podcast Selma! I also have two “Ranunculi” and do not rule out another! It is such a beautiful and satisfying pattern! Your Olive green one will be stunning, especially with your blond hair!

Thank you for sharing so much information. Really enjoy your podcast.

[@almaragnarsdottir9319]

Thank you Selma for this generous Easter episode. I never knitted a Ranunculus but it has been on my top favorite list for long. I loved your tips on the repeated increase there and various yarn options. I bought the pattern now and as soon as I find the perfect yarn, I will start my first (and I have a feeling also that it will not be my last!). I am about to start the Lucky Pieces colourful vest in Pompom no 36... maybe I’ll join your Colourplay KAL with that one... gonna check that out at least.

[@colettebouvier9201]

Hi Selma! I'm so happy to discover your podcast. So very enjoyable to see what's on your needles, and a great place to learn about all the great yarns out there (Canadian eh?) 😄 I live in Lévis, QC south shore of Québec City. Born and raised in Gravelbourg SK. I'm going on to episode 49 now and looking fwd to many more. Take care!

Dear Selma....Would you believe, I’ve finished all of your podcasts from the beginning! I have loved all of them and found so many really beautiful patterns I would love to make! You have become so familiar to me and I see you as a true friend and will be looking forward to your every new podcast! You are my middle daughter’s age (from what it appeared) but you share the same birthday as my youngest daughter!😊 My God bless you and really looking forward to your next finished objects (the myrtle sweater) 😂 and the review of your socks! I live in St Paul, MN and we can get very cold weather as well! My feet were so cold this winter I made knee high socks out of #4 wool and did a k2,p2 rib all the way up to the knee! I absolutely love them...they are so warm and squishy on my feet! I just wear them more like a slipper sock! Take care my friend and I look forward to what you will do next!😊

[@johannalaitinen1522]

Thank you Selma for the knitting company again ! It`s funny and amazing to hear that you have relatives here in Finland, I didin´t know that when I watched your podcast for the first time. Somehow I just felt "at home" listening to you. It is totally true what you said about the calming effect of knitting, at the moment I´m especially thankfull for that !

[@littlebigknits]

My family is from kauhajoki and around pohjanmaa. I’ve had others say I am Finnish in my style 🤷‍♀️

[@johannalaitinen1522]

Ok :) I live in Kaarina just outside of Turku. Yes, you really do have quite a lot of finnish style in you and your making.

[@ImCFoxx]

Checked in with your ranunculus as I’m beginning one now. I was using a cotton slubby irregular Yarn. I’m thinking he may try to combine it with a lace week mohair to decrease the transparency. Fingers crossed I hope it works out. There are many yards blended with various fibers, but I don’t see many cottons held double with mohair. By the way I love the pottery on your Fireplace mantle. Can you describe them please? Thank you for your wonderful videos

[@bssmith1955]

Another great episode. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful knitting with us. I can relate to having your head full of all the things you want to knit! Sometimes I have trouble sleeping thinking about it...exciting🤩🤩. And thank you so much for the sharing about Paula. I have missed her podcasts and wondered how she was but had not heard the news of her passing. I must say I’m very sad. Even though I have never met her my heart is heavy and she will be missed so much by the knitting community but even more by her grandchildren and family 😢😢

[@littlebigknits]

She really will. ❤️❤️

[@IslandLady76]

Love your Ranunculuses? I also have made 2 with my fingering minis; one fitted and one with lots of ease. I too should add a note to where I always had a little problem in knitting mine. I love yours but it might be too warm for me if I used the yarns you used.

[@littlebigknits]

It’s such a versatile pattern and I’m intrigued by how each one can be different depending on the yarn we use!

[@nancymorales2741]

Lovely to get caught up with you, Selma, as always. You’re such an inspiration. I appreciate that you paid tribute to Paula. She and her podcast and video channel were such a force in the knitting community. I was surprised that other podcasters didn’t mention her passing. I too had hoped to attend one of her retreats. Thank you for sharing. Abrazos. -lajoyagirl
