Finding knitting inspiration using your yarn stash!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Soooo if you're not aware, the poem 'The New Colossus' by Emma Lazarus from 1883 (the one I'm riffing on here) is etched in bronze and mounted on the Statue of Liberty's pedestal. It's a beautiful and poignant poem. 💫

[@sherryedwards5978]

Great video. Thanks

[@joannapacheco2041]

Hi I love your amazing videos but I don't have yarn anymore I ran out of all my yarns 😊

[@LadyPatienceK]

It is a delightful poem. Thanks for the extra bit of info 😊

[@jennyvonderruhr5403]

I have knit the Dingley Dell sweater! I used 3 colors and it took just 3 skeins of a linen wool blend. It is among my very favorite garments I have ever made. The pattern is so well written and it was a pleasure to knit!

[@RobbieHutchins]

The series the knitting community never knew they needed. So much inspiration here! Wow! Thanks so much Tayler.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I’m so glad you like this idea! Thank you for watching. ❤️❤️

[@adeleschenk5610]

Aww thank you for choosing my yarn for the first installation of this new series!!! I'm considering both shawls, but I love all the patterns you shared! Can I just send pictures of all my stash?? 😂

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

You are so welcome Adele! I had so much fun. That’s such pretty yarn you have. Thank you so much for submitting! Feel free to submit more. 😘

[@soolee8747]

Adele, thanks for helping inaugurate this fun new series! Please keep us posted about what you choose.

[@bluejay5531]

what a genius idea for this new series!! love this soo much!!! who does not need inspo for stash?? ❤ and that people’s shawl is beautiful!!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Tayler, You are one of the smartest and most clever, interesting knitting podcasters!! Always fun to see something new from you. ❤

[@FNPKnitter]

I LOVE the concept of this segment!

[@TinaSpencer-mr1cp]

I’m so glad you too were curious about the look of Milwaukee’s flag that inspired “The People’s Shawl.” I was making note of the city to look it up myself, but didn’t have to.

[@katespeck2872]

You are amazing, Taylor… This is so much fun to watch. You put us through this and give ideas on projects.

[@katelynrader4592]

This has got to be the coolest segment I've seen on a knitting video! I love this idea! I can't wait to get a sneak peek into others stashes and see all the inspiration for these pretty skeins!

[@PiklizTafia]

Thanks for offering this service!!! 😆😆

[@emilycreager2269]

Btw, Tayler, your hair looks beautiful today! Wish my hair did that!

[@torisandifer518]

I love this idea! Please ask Adele for FO pictures when she has them, so we can see what she makes with this!

[@chrissy24-7]

What a great idea for a series, i really love this! ❤

[@lizgriffith6361]

The Peoples would be fantastic! Love this idea, looking forward to many more to come.

[@ofhooksandyarn1612]

Absolutely need this series!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

The Purl Soho scarf looks like it’s made in linen stitch, which makes a beautiful, denser fabric, and is great when mixing colors.

[@LizCraigMyers]

What a great idea for a new series! Thanks

[@nanabella007]

The stitch pattern in the Moonlight Wrap looks like linen stitch. This is such a fantastic idea for a series… giving everyone some inspiration! I love looking for the yarn I have on ravelry to see what other ppl made with it for the same reason.

[@JaytheBee]

Oh my gods I'm only a minute in and it's already exactly what I've been looking for! I have some yarn and scraps in my stash that I've been breaking my brain over what to do with. A pair of fresh eyes is brilliant😍

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Oooo good! Thanks for watching Jay! ❤

[@catnapper3923]

Oh my goodness! I’ve often wished for someone to walk in to my studio and look at colors, weights, textures and tell me what could be done. Spot on with this much needed idea. Thanks!

[@candeeharris7509]

Tayler, this is a wonderful series. Thank you...

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Glad you enjoy it! 💕

[@alisavanrooyen1030]

I absolutely love this video! It was so fun to see all your suggestions...I have so many I could submit.... thanks for all your hard work.

[@lieslnew8247]

Another great segment. Thx Tayler.

[@CozyBooks_Lattes]

I love this new segment, what a fantastic idea! One never knows when inspiration sparks, everyone wins in my opinion! I definitely have a few submissions. The textured shawl is gorgeous 😊

[@blou5598]

What a great idea and wonderful options for Adele’s yarn. This is exciting and I will be looking forward to more of these segments. Congratulations!

[@Tabeasknitting]

This was so much fun! If you get more submissions it would also be fun to do like three different yarns but not as many pattern suggestions.

[@dorotheekschmid]

This idea for this series is genius! Will watch every one of them!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you Dorothee! ❤️

[@petravo-mj5ur]

Hey Tayler, that video is great! The inspiration is wonderful. Thanks! Vossy

[@JK-fk7fb]

Another great content idea! I loved all the patterns and really enjoyed this episode. Thank you!

[@janetcannon9842]

Love this series!

[@rachelmitchell2144]

Low this! So glad you are still taking photos. I thought I missed the boat on this one. I have some yarn that I absolutely love the color and texture of but don’t have a lot of it and so I’m not sure what to do with it. Will be taking a nice photo and sending your way!

[@belwynne1386]

Adore you! Love the intro!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! 🙏 ❤

[@jillben-dor5906]

Fantastic idea- love this (and all of your episodes!) so much!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you so much Jill. ❤️🙏

[@anitabechtel5180]

Wonderful addition and something we could all use. Maybe one time you could highlight or recommend patters to use with your new yarn?

[@leiterfam]

I have recently cast on the Dingley Dell T! Cool that it made your list here

[@michellebee1117]

Omg, I ❤❤❤ this video!! I missed the announcement about this new series and I'm loving it!! How fun! I'm so enjoying this and your Ravelry Roulette series. As a newer knitter, it's broadening my horizons of available patterns, ideas and teaching me how to use Ravelry more effectively. Thank you so much! What a great way to start off my day!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Oh this is great to know, Michelle! I’m so glad you’re enjoying these videos. Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️

[@viviantovar8957]

I love this idea. You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into, lady!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

I think you may be right, Vivian! But I love it. ☺️

[@star_athena]

Another brilliant idea, Tayler! Loved watching this. I have a DOOZY of a yarn I might send your way ❤❤❤

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Yes please Star! Thank you. ❤️

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

I love this idea for the midweek rant.🧶

[@suzannecarr5871]

So FUN!! I'm looking forward to seeing more of these in the future.

[@LeesaRe223]

Such a great idea for a series. Love it!

[@konnieprftp]

Love this idea 😊 nothing better to get the creative juices going.

[@susanmarshall3709]

What a great idea!! Always looking for new pattern ideas. Not much of a shawl wearer but it would be great for gifting. Thanks so much!! 😊

[@PotionYarns]

What an INCREDIBLE idea! So clever and helpful. Now I need to go stash diving to find my peskiest skeins that have languished for far too long...

[@BeckyClowers]

How fun! Could you please hop on a plane to Seattle? I could use a lot of your inspiration! 😂

[@QueenBaha]

🌴☀️I love the Dingley just finished it (it has the contiguous method too Tayler🎉) you spoke about in the contiguous video. IT. FITS. LOVELY. I don’t think I’ll do raglan again💐 I have a 41” upper bust btw, it’s a well written pattern fits like a glove 🧤 . Thanks so much 💗 Tayler, see you on Patreon☀️🌴 Edit: the Dingley is so well I was able to easily modify it to have zero ease haha💃🏽

[@corriemcclain7960]

What a fun idea. Love it

[@Theknittingwanderer]

Oooooooo yes! This is fun! Also, I love the last two patterns for the yarns she would be using.

[@carrotlover7763]

Love the new series! It is always fun to see your creative ideas.

[@strikogromantik]

So much fun. Great suggestions😀

[@megm6569]

Love this new series! Favorited two of the patterns you shared as if I needed more things in my queue....

[@chrissy24-7]

😂 same! ❤

[@Melmaz32]

The stipe t~shirt makes you look like an Easter Egg, anyone that is not thin will probably not choose that design. The other ideas are good! Like your idea to help with other people’s stash!

[@BeautyNookbyLauren]

Oh I LOVE this idea, what a great way to inspire your entire community! 🤩

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thank you! I’m so grateful for the original suggestion!

[@anneellison8188]

Great video Tayler! I really enjoyed it.

[@rachelchudley1527]

What a great idea for a podcast . Love it !

[@mlea79]

The peoples shawl looks so pretty. I’m going to stash dive for this pattern ❤

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

What a great notion for stash-busting! I feel like I should just send photos of my whole stash (I have inherited yarn from MIL, grandma, aunt as well as my own!). Well, nah, but maybe I'll send a photo of something fun. Thanks for sharing this fun idea!

[@carolinarios2994]

This is a great idea for vídeos ❤

[@user-yj9sx3fq4i]

Groovy idea, Tayler. Love your creativity!

[@gypsyqueencrafts36]

Hi Taylor. I loved this. Thank you for all you do for us all. Hx 💕🧵🧶🇬🇧

[@seeseesstopmotionstudio120]

Brilliant! Put my needles down a few weeks ago out of frustration with a pattern I fell in love with but is just so much more complicated than I like... but this video got my fingers tingling again! Thanks!

[@3Dhyana]

Love love love shawls. Great idea!

[@joanmachado9063]

Oh this was fun thanks 🧶😊

[@PriscillaWhite-Tocker]

Great idea for a series, and it is always inspiring to see lovely patterns, Thank you, Tayler!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

You are so welcome Priscilla. Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@rachelbonner-ed5ux]

I really enjoyed this idea for your podcast! I think the People’s shawl would be stunning in Fiber for the People yarn.

[@rayyna]

I had just bought the dingley dell pattern! I thought it was so cute.

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

It is SOO cute Rayyna!

[@nanettekroupa1371]

Love this!! I totally have something to send you!!

[@sharonrose1226]

I watch multiple channels like yours for the very reason you started this new series. I love to see what others have done. They give me ideas for creating my own projects. I prefer knitting, but I also crochet. I’m more advanced in crochet than knitting. I love watching and learning. I’m trying to design my own V-neck sweater, but have been stuck on how to create the V-neck portion. Until recently. After watching several videos on which increase/decrease leans to the correct side, I finally figured out which leans what way. I’m still in the beginner level, obviously. I do have quite a huge yarn stash. I may eventually send you pictures of some of my stash to see what you can come up with. Other than wash/dish cloths, I really have no idea what to do with all the cotton yarn I have. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@jodyo1814]

I love this ❤ such a great inspiration series idea, there’s so many amazing patterns out there and hard to filter through them all, plus any excuse to see other peoples yarn stash 😂

[@suetherrien5306]

I love this idea!!! Thanks!!

[@sarahhartmann1203]

This is such a great idea! You have taken such a thoughtful, considered approach to this, look forward to more of these :)

[@randianderson6436]

This was so fun - great idea!

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

Thanks so much! 😘

[@TinaSpencer-mr1cp]

Fabulous series topic!

[@emilyr1870]

So much fun!!

[@saulemaroussault6343]

Perfect idea ! Can’t wait to see what you’ll be able to suggest.

[@jenniferfryer9638]

Such a useful concept. Beginner knitter long term crocheted with a stash I’ve been trying to use. Thanks for the ideas, several are in my favourites now! Looking forward to the next episode.

[@joanspiller1553]

Wonderful podcast, Tayler. I loved both shawls. I might have to buy yarn to make one of them too !! Great idea to have this service.

[@cynthiakolb233]

I love your videos. I always learn something from them. Most videos I watch mostly talk about their knitting, but you share knowledge. I love that. I have taken so much from your podcast, like knitting takes time, it isn’t a race to see how quickly and how much you can make, interchangeable needles aren’t always the best bet and a lot more. In this video you mentioned about managing your colors but how does one go about doing that? What things do you consider in doing that? Thank you

[@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS]

This would be a great idea for a future ramble. Thank you Cynthia!

[@vanessalumbra9409]

A vest would be great in those colors. Either with stripes or other colorwork pattern.

[@laurakaiser7052]

what a great idea!

[@aslbyweller]

What a fabulous idea for a video series.

[@alliknit]

Amazing poem there! And I love the series! 😍

[@the_busy_beaver_brooke]

The past time you talked about using moxed fibers to make things not quiet as warm i had biogarn +mohair on the needles for a scarf/shawl and i felt likea genius 😂

[@dawnupperman524]

Great idea ❤

[@ShariPulford]

This was super fun! You made some great choices!!

[@susansatchwell8482]

These were great ideas!

[@dhurd4099]

Brilliant idea for a series!

[@nz-nz]

This is going to be a great series!!!!!!

[@alissarice9725]

Such a brilliant series idea!

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Love this new segment. Thanks

[@bramblescottage8735]

What a great video. I sure hope you continue with this. I got totally inspired for the other four skein sets in my unallocated yarns. I would also appreciate know what combos of different fabric contents will be successful. As a new knitter, I keep thinking I have to stay in the same yarn group when adding to those single skeins.

[@tracischieber4253]

This is fun! I know just which yarn to send.

[@lalaleelou1]

What a fun idea! Loved this!

[@isabellemeunier9486]

What a great concept! 👍🏻

[@celestialmoo719]

Wow I love this! What app do you use for your patterns?

[@LeeKnits]

Love this idea! I will definitely submit something!

[@mrsclaunch]

Loved this idea!

[@mrsheatherdonald]

In the next installment, could you add a brief tutorial about how you found these patterns? Do you just use the filters on Ravelry? Thank you!

[@Katepwe]

So fun!
