Episode 62 - 2 Sweaters, 4 Yokes

[@aliciadanowski245]

Both of those sweaters are really pretty. You are such a good knitter, I will never be as good as you are.I enjoy watching, wish there were more, but I know you can't knit hat fast. Ha Ha. Thank you for your help expertise.

[@andreamagill7034]

Another lovely podcast 😊 Your knits are beautiful. I am glad that I stayed to the end and seen the treat of snow and a bear and deer. Looking forward to hearing about your yarn show. 🧶😊❤️

[@KnittingWithCatHair]

Lovely episode Selma 🥰 Your Noux looks so beautiful on you and your Dreyma is gorgeous 😍 What I Knit For Love is a great new podcast and I think you'll really enjoy it. Have a fantastic time at Knit City! 💕

[@caroldawson114]

Thank you, Selma, for making our world better, one stitch at a time. I really enjoy your podcast. Thanks for sharing.

[@colettebouvier9201]

Thank you for another enjoyable podcast Thelma. It helps us to stay positive and hopeful in such difficult, sad times.

[@margotgrant3947]

Greetings from California ^-^ Just discovered your lovely podcast - Thank you for providing calming and cheering company, Inspiration by virtue of your Prolific and masterful approach to a favourite refuge (yarns caught up in needles), and the Hope of all Good Things to Come xo

[@littlebigknits]

Welcome!!

[@nadinegoffart487]

Hi Selma, I am new to your podcast and enjoy it very much! I watched 4 in a row, like binge watching 😃 Thanks for your interesting information, your wonderful sweaters and everything else you are sharing with the world. I can’t imagine how many sweaters you have 😉 I feel more “normal” right now: always thinking of the next project to cast on and buying yarn for it. Feels good 👍

[@nealieanderson512]

Both sweaters are fantastic! You pick such complimentary colors for your complexion.

[@juliaf.4268]

Selma, thank you for your support for Ukraine, it really means a lot, more than just the dollars donated raised or donated, the united *visible* support from other countries is a huge factor in winning this war. I just need to point out though - it's not The Ukraine, it's Ukraine. Just like Canada is Canada, not The Canada. Outdated references online to The Ukraine are based on the Soviet-era treatment of Ukraine as a territory of sorts, rather than as an independent sovereign country. I'm not trying to be one of those "well, actually" people, but this is important. Now more than ever. Слава Україні!

[@sherryberry6492]

Thank you for that correction. I hadn’t noticed that I did and I would not have understood the root of the article. Here is hoping the best and I only wish I could do more!

[@Suzanne_Is_Hooked]

Hi Selma, I was subscribed to you before , but when I checked, I wasn't but all good now. Your sweaters are beautiful. I wish I could wear sweaters, but I just get too warm. I'm in Ottawa as well. Thanks for sharing🤗

[@laurakohnross6106]

Wonderful episode. I’m a new subscriber. So happy I found your channel. I’ve been binge watching many of your older episodes today. Thanks

[@candiestanton3055]

Selma, I think your podcasts are fantastic and I thoroughly enjoy them. Your knitting is beautiful and I very much like the patterns you chose to knit. I also enjoy the scenery you share, and I love The Sunny Side song...I look forward to hearing it...singing and whistling along with it. LOL How is your son liking college and being away from home?

[@thekindles1183]

That was incredible to see the wildlife. I love the beautiful sweaters. All the best, Kimberly

[@ToothFairyPurls]

Hello Selma! It's such a pleasure to catch up with you. Your Noux sweater looks beautiful.

[@seasaltsandra.00]

Hi Selma. Your two new jumpers suit you soooooo well. The colours really work for you. I love your reviews. You're so honest but I don't get put off by your thoughts in fact they cause me to look see, both with books and viewings. Thank you 😊

[@moniquehorton1111]

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your channel! It’s so refreshing! It makes me wish we could be neighbors and friends sipping coffee or tea, knitting and listening to podcasts and good music together. Enjoy the warmer weather! Love from Southern California. 🤗

[@clairenason4869]

Podcast that I watch are Les Garsen is in Canada, Stitched by Mrs.D from Northern in the UK. My favorite is Knitting Traditions with Inga. I think she is in Poland.

[@ullamullis8544]

Thank you for a lovely episode. I watch many knitting podcasts in Danish and also foreign to me - yours is one of my favourites 😊 Also love the footage and Music at the end. The Noux sweater is now on my list of dream knits.

[@juliedrakeArtist]

I love the podcast 'What I Knit For Love'. She's a really lovely lady and has great knits and talks about her chickens and gardening as well. I find her quite inspirational. Of course, I really love your podcast as well 😘

[@artemareva]

Thank you very much Selma for these good times that I always spend listening to your podcasts. I love the values that you sow there with always your beautiful smile to wrap everything in a little sweetness that feels good. And I always discover beautiful patterns and projects when I look at you. Thank you for the inspiration ! I also share your crush on Megha! :) She is so nice and generous. I had the opportunity to talk to her several times before she started her podcast and I'm not surprised that it was a success because Megha is a beautiful person who is also very talented, with a such beautiful energy. I wish you a great time at Knit-it in Montreal.

[@Graceygoodies]

Hi Salma, I hope the weekend went fabulously! I've helped out at a couple of Stitches events and The Fiber Festival of New England....my health is such that I probably couldn't any longer. But have a first in-person show at the end of April. Small show, only one day...Connecticut Sheep and Wool

[@littlebigknits]

It was a blast!!! I hope to do more but it was exhausting!!

[@larajean1]

I'm so excited to hear about Knit City Montreal! I hope you take video of the booths and how it all looks.

[@bettyetherton4134]

First timer here. Really enjoyed watching while finishing a sock today. Refreshing!

[@junewilliams9257]

Congratulations to the winners. Your sweaters are lovely.

[@ninamariaknitting]

I was helping out at east anglia yarn festival in Norwich, UK over the weekend and I’m still exhausted now! It’s so much fun but such hard work setting up, chatting to people and then taking everything down again. Hope it goes well for you!

[@littlebigknits]

Me too!! Excited and slightly nervous 😬

[@valeriesmith7619]

I'm really looking forward to Knit City Montreal. It will be a 5.5hrs drive but will be a fun weekend getaway

[@OnTheHookCrochetwithJeanne]

I always enjoy your podcasts, Selma. Someday I will learn to knit. 🙂 And hope I can knit as well as you at some point. Beautiful sweaters!

[@suzanneozorak2659]

PLEASE ENJOY MONTREAL!!!!! I LIVE ON THE SOUTH SHORE BUT I CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE SHERATON BECAUSE WORKING FULL TIME IN MUSIC. BUT MY HEART IS WITH YOU ALL ENJOYING ALL THE BEAUTIFUL YARNS!!!! I HAVE TOO MUCH ANYWAY..KNITING ALL THE TIME AND MY STASH IS NEVER GETTING SMALLER!!!!

[@annieyoung4]

Oh Selma, both sweaters are beautiful and look great on you. Hint when doing the Kitchener on toes : eliminate the set up and go directly into slipping one off knit wise, purl into next stitch, then the back (purl off, knit on). When you get to the last stitch on each needle, just slip them off. When you pull your yarn to the inside to weave in the tail, those loops just disappear. Courtesy of Suzanne Bryan. 🙂

[@kathrynhatton7375]

Thank you Selma. Highly recommend WHAT I KNIT FOR LOVE.

[@80sgma10]

I just started listening to We Grow Wild and I looooove it! Italy is one of my favorite places. Congratulations to all the winners! Thanks for another great podcast, Selma.

[@doreenmaclauchlan6697]

My favourite knitting podcast is Fruity Knitting- great knitting content, tutorials and other features such as Extreme Knitting, Knitters Around the World, always interesting.

[@friendlypersuasions2640]

Also: “Finnish Knitting Stories” is a vlog I’ve been following in 2022.

[@thizizliz]

Congratulations to the winners. This is a lovely channel; we all win by watching. I love Hey Brown Berry - she's terrific. Weight lifting, parenting, home schooling, fire rings, and so many crafts. She fills me with calm and hope- in spite of her being young enough to be my daughter! Selma, you DO build a feeling of community and I love that. Your new sweaters are gorgeous. The blue / mauve (or whatever it's called) is going to look great on you. They are all so pretty and you seem to have a knack for choosing color combos that suit. They are all beautiful. Happy Tuesday.

[@littlebigknits]

Thank you!!

[@suemccord9723]

Selma, as always a beautiful episode with all your gorgeous knits. I have the Dreyma in my library and after seeing you wearing it, I really must get to knitting this. Hope I have yarn in my stash. :)

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Love Ozark. As usual your knits are great. I lost yarn chicken while making a shift cowl. So I had to put it on hold and order a second skein of each color way. I don’t want to get stuck again so I decided to get three all colors so I can continue it and finish it. I’m so close. I’ve knitted it tightly for me so its amazing I ran out of one color and I’m very close to running out of the other two colors and don’t want more delays. I have a month before West “Collaboration” summer Knit-a-long begins. Very excited. I’m going to start a sweater and work on as I also keep adding onto stash busting blankets That I have on the go. I wanted to finish the shift cowl for this spring but this set me back for next fall, lol. I guess I’ll be wearing it next year. Oh well. I far into the last stretch I will certainly get the yarns and finish it. The West KAL this year is utilizing 3 yarn dyers and three shawl designers being hosted by Stephen of West Knits. Can’t wait. TV is my background while I knit also so I also include OZARK as top watching material. I’ve watched the series several times already. It’s the best series that I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve been watching other things that Julia Garner has been in. I find her very engaging in “Inventing Anna”. It’s about Anna Delvey the Instagram legendary heiress. It’s a true story with I’m certain dramatically endused scenes and story lines to enhance the dramatic impact of her story. She is a bold con-artist that lives a wild life filled with imaginary memories of her childhood or just made up ways of what she wished could be her past. It’s interesting she’s creatively looking for her place in a world she desires but doesn’t true,y have. People believe her so she gets away with conning people for a good while. I also really loved a series called “After Life” It’s a comedy drama with Rickey Gervais. Very good honest drama with dramatic comedy and genius story telling. The simplistic lifestyles are very realistic and the people and community is very real to life I love great story telling where is not so crazy with people able to beat up 10 others at once. I like reality and to see others life styles of things I can relate to even if it’s far from what I’d ever see in my life it’s still believable.

[@littlebigknits]

I will have to check out After Life. Enjoying Inventing Anna. From interviews I’ve seen with her she seems like a real sociopath but who knows what has happened in her life! Good luck with the cowl!

[@lindas.patton7552]

I am intrigued by Ozarke. My family lived in that area, so I will check it out. Love your sweaters.Congratulations to the winners!

[@juliamorrisey5541]

I still really like the Nous sweater. I am going to have to buy that pattern. I need a non-rustic yarn so I am going to have to check projects on Revelry to see some options. I have gotten so many great ideas from your podcast. Thank you for all the details and personal feedback that you give is very helpful.

You are very welcome!! There are quite a few projects so I am sure you will be inspired!!

I see you are fully on the colorwork bus with me now 😜. Beautiful sweaters as usual, and you are tempting me to revisit lettlopi! I recently started listening to Yarns at Yin Hoo too and I really like that one for when I don’t want to be looking at a screen.

Thank you for today. Your knits are truly inspiring. I am not a lover of mohair… but it is pretty. Love the Feminine knits you mention. So pretty. I would add if I could the Hawthorn Cottage podcast. Loved when she did those. Sadly I have not seen her in a while. But… seeing her archive while knitting is nice. I do adore the Youngfolks podcast. The mention of the Lost Daughter I agree with. It was not for me. The Osarks is fun. Thank you for the list. I would love to make mention of another I do enjoy… Amy Palko/ The Meaningful Stitch. I gravitate to one person format vs. 2/several people format. Thank you for all you do … I sure do appreciate your sharing.

[@cherylclough4309]

It was so fun to hear you mentioning Megha. I love her podcasts as well. I’ve joined her blanket mal, too. I am making a temperature blanket for my oldest granddaughter. Hopefully, it will be ready for when she leaves for college in a year and a half. I’m using the temperatures from the first year of her life. It is crocheted, so I’m learning a new skill! Also, thanks for the heads up on the Noux sweater. I’ve been looking for a beginner-friendly color work sweater. I’ll have to look that one up. Have fun at Knit City. Wish I could go! Stay safe.

[@CassieDA17]

I loved knitting my Kevat “vest”. The bobble rows Devi took a long time! It’s actually one of my favorite things I’ve ever knit. I love that Dreyma! I’ve had that on my list for a while.

Hi Selma, I enjoyed your podcast as always. Such beautiful sweaters. Selma are you familiar with the Finchley graft method for toes in place of the Kitchener. I never minded the Kitchener but this one is done with the right side facing and its foolproof.

I’ll come say hello to you in Montreal! I’m hoping to be inspired by some of the wool and samples there. I’m currently knitting the Belmont cardigan by Gudrun Johnson, it has some nice lace panels in the front. I am reading the Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles and it is pretty delightful! I also just finished listening to Vanderbilt by Anderson Cooper because I watched the Guilded Age on HBO and am interested in learning more about that period in New York City. A new to me podcast is “What I Knit for Love” from the Netherlands.

[@lynnfrens5942]

Selma, what do you look for in a project bag? Do you avoid bags that have zippers because the yarn might catch on the zipper teeth? What do you like to see inside your bag - pockets? Pockets on the outside? Drawstring top? Just curious :)

[@littlebigknits]

Honestly I like them all although perhaps a slight preference for drawstring or snaps but I have all kinds and use them all. If they have pockets that is a bonus! So not much help I realize. There are so many beautiful bags and I want them all!
