Knitting A Good Yarn Podcast Ep.11 - Knit Love, Lust + Loathing, All the Fleurs + Epic Eurus Cables

[@jennitaysom7581]

I would love the modifications you did to the Fleur to make it a crescent! It turned out so beautiful and amazing ❤️

[@susancutt5726]

I love that there are dogs around! It’s life and dogs are wonderful ❤ I really enjoy your podcast it’s real!!

[@crazywooler]

Andrea Mowry has a great bobble tutorial (you tube) where we knit backwards and there isn't any turning the work!!! Another awesome episode!! And Jackie yes to working up your crescent shawl Fleur modifications. My all time fave shape too! I've finished one and ready to begin another when yarn arrives and I finish an in between ranunculus...... Thank you both so much - you are my spirit lifters!! 🧶Jennifer

[@jennye3473]

I love these long videos full of insightful knitting knowledge. Thanks for keeping me company as I skeined and labeled all my yarns.

[@theknittystew]

Oh Mylanta. Another episode JAM-PACKED with inspiration and giggles and all the best things about knitting and fibre life. Thank you so much!

[@sykocreations]

I enjoyed the podcast. Don't let the negativity of the interwebs get you down about the dogs barking. I get that it is not ideal, but it is manageable. You guys exude joy about your process and creations. Don't lose that. We need more joy in our lives.

[@vivNron]

So joyous to watch your joy and enthusiasm. I appreciate your analysis of your knits, the yarns etc which is a wholly different approach than other podcasts. Thought provoking, and such interesting/helpful ideas about lust and love for all the yarns/patterns, how experiencing the lust may be enough. Good reminders to be thoughtful and present in your creativity. And Carmen -- don't worry, they won't kick you off the hill!!!

[@AnnikaScheer]

I discovered your lovely podcast while on vacation and am currently binge-watching your episodes. Needless to say, I am now completely hooked not only on knitting a fleur shawl - I absolutely love Jackies crescent shaped version and will most likely be opting for this one - but also on trying out Nutiden for the first time. Good thing that they have a new collection coming out soon. Thank you so much for the inspoiration!

[@linneavarner2740]

I absolutely love your podcast. Your sweaters and knits are gorgeous, and I am always inspired by your enthusiasm, creativity and talent. I hope that you are able to manage the dog barking issue in the future, as I was unable to finish the podcast this time. I will check in again!

[@paulam.5785]

Oh yes...a crescent fleur for sure please!! ❤ your pressed flower cardi is so gorgeous too. I love the low contrast. Thanks for fun podcast ladies.

[@despinavassos7865]

Great Episode. I would love the modifications you did to make it a crescent😊

[@margreffle]

Oh this was so awesome! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your time to make these videos, they brighten my day. I'm laughing right along with you! Treasure each other. 💗🤗😘

[@aldiia]

Seeing a new video pop up is always the best!!! Crescent Fleur mods would be amazing!

[@marygracemaresh7725]

Your dog is making my household of dogs go NUTS

[@rondam7291]

I would love the modifications you did to the Fleur to make it a crescent! Beautiful!!

[@redrasta-y8c]

Another very inspiring episode ❤ And thanks for all the laughs, so contagious 😂 I had a ball 🤣

[@andreabird7375]

Yes, would love the crescent mods for the Fleur shawl. Thank you for helping us on our knitting journeys. My Dachshunds were very entertained as well. Always love the acquisition share! Look forward to your next podcast🙏

[@ladyinredyarn-yvonne1942]

YES PLEASE! I would appreciate you writing up the Crescent Shape Shawl pattern. Thank you 🧶

[@noelleparris9451]

okay, I managed to get to this point before having to comment. The phrase "shloopy loopy" needs to become a thing, a new knitting technique. Well done Jackie! And the chaos in this episode was perfect. I have held off on getting on the Fleur train (so far) but I did just buy a Pressed Flowers pattern (for the hat). The cardigan you made with your home spun, Jackie, is gorgeous. And I LOVE your Ranunculus, Carmen! I still haven't made one (though I have the pattern) but perhaps one day.....

[@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765]

Haha shloopy loopy totally needs to become a thing! And thank you so much for your kind words and I do hope you knit the ranunculus as it really does live up to the hype!

[@KnitDesserts]

Wonderful perspectives on knitting and life! I loved hearing about your travels and yarny adventures.

[@ollywoodknits]

I hope I run into you guys at Rhinebeck!!! Your sweaters are gorgeous. Sending love from Barrie & Orillia 🥰❤️

[@monikb3085]

Another wonderful 3hrs in your company! I just burst out laughing when the doorbell rang... So much fabulousness again in this episode but what stands out the most forme is the crescent shape Fleur shawl. I think the Fleur is beautiful and I've had it in my favorites for so long, but the triangle shape just doesn`t do it for me anymore. Now, seeing Jackie`s cresent version has me rethinking getting into the KAL... It is just amazing! And the Eurus!! Not much chance I can get the same yarn as you both but I have in mind to make it with Nutiden with perhaps an added strand of KFO silk mohair. Wish I could make it to Rhinebeck but I will be coming back from Iqaluit!

[@joyceivan530]

You two are so cute and totally influenced me to cast on a fleur in a beautiful beige Nutiden.

[@WendyBarron14]

Always lovely to catch up with you and revel in your creativity and creations. The apology/heads up about the acquisition section in yarncasts arose a few years ago, when some podcasters got pushback from viewers who felt excluded because they couldn't buy the same yarns that the podcasters used, because they either didn't have the money or they simply couldn't access the yarns. At the same time, viewers also felt that the podcasters were not acknowledging their level of privilege in being able to afford to buy luxury yarns and/or in being gifted the yarn by various dyers, etc. Not all viewers felt this way, of course, but enough did that it needed to be acknowledged. At around the same time, and in related news, knitters also called on designers to identify alternative, more budget-friendly, yarns that would suit their designs, to be as inclusive as possible.

[@hildaandrews8150]

A fun episode as usual. I’m also in Southern Ontario and still casting on summer knits in this heat. I love wearing the silks and linens. Thank you for the tip about the no hump garter tab which I will be searching for. I wish I could use it to fix my hipster shawl. Carmen, I had the same wide neck effect with my Fuwa Fuwa Ranunculus and I did a slip stitch crochet row around the neck which made it perfect. Good luck with your tessellated sweaters.

[@Gigiknittingandmore]

Hi girls love your energy. I’m so glad I found you. I measured the cardigan by my pit chest size. Lol not breast area but up around my pit area. I’m from Illinois looking forward to more from your channel

[@teadreyer1510]

Another fabulous episode, gorgeous girlies! Jackie.. I would love to see your mods of the Fleur shawl as I too am a lover of the crescent shape 💕 Also, the first thing I look at when your podcast is up, is how long it will be.. and get excited when I see 3hrs+🙌

[@cindyestrada4936]

Carmen for the Andrea Mowry Sweater I would use the pink. The Fluffly yarn will sit side by side with your beautiful Wine Color. I think it will look fabulous with the your handspun

[@casuarinagirl8067]

Oh heavens above 40° that’s not fun! Your pressed flowers cardigan Jackie looks absolutely gorgeous 💕 Only partway through the episode hoping to take you girls to work tomorrow and continue 🤭🤣🥰 Karen - sunny Australia where if it hits 40° you may hear me whinging all the way over where you live 🙊

[@andrealandsburg8882]

A crescent shawl is my favourite, so yes please if we could have your modifications! It is perfect on you! ❤

[@serenagodmaire5602]

I love that idea of dream knitting acquisition and how the universe will bring it to you if it’s love. 💕 I am lusting over your travels!!!!! I’m so glad you had a chance to check out some of the NS “yarny things” I live in Halifax and it’s so special.

[@suevondohlen4138]

I am very interested in the modifications for the Fleur shawl!!!

[@knittingpossect]

Hope we get to meet you both at Rhinebeck this year! Kim

[@gillmatthews5869]

I absolutely love your Euras Aran sweaters and purchased the pattern straightaway. I would say I was an intermediate knitter. When I went on the project page many people expressed that the pattern was poorly written and difficult to follow. Please can I ask your thoughts on this. I would love this sweater, but am unsure now if the pattern really is difficult to understand . All advice will be greatly appreciated. Dogs will be dogs, we all have occasions like this - that’s life. Thank you both for giving us so much viewing pleasure and for what you do for the knitting community xxx

[@HG-vd5vs]

Hello from Germany, I love your podcasts, your inspiring me 😊! And I have suggestions for Jackies brown Alpaca yarn: what would you think about the "snow crocus" by Midori Hirosie, or the "friendship sweater" by Aimee Sher? I plan to knit aFleur shawl, too, thanks to you, out of plötulopi, the first time for me to knit woth unspun yarn 😮. Lovely greetings, also from my two sausage dogs 👋

[@carolinarios2994]

Hey!!!! Nice to see your video❤

[@mollybloom8991]

Just discovered your podcast and your projects as well as your points of view are so inspiring! I’m a bit late to the party, but would love to knit a crescent Fleur, if you ever did provide the mod details could you point me in that direction? Thank you for helping me look at my knitting in a new, more nuanced, way!

[@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765]

So glad to have you along with us!! And o think Jackie has posted her crescent shawl mods but I’ll ask her when I see her tomorrow!

[@lizurquhart4105]

You both are great! Love your makes and how you both just love each others knits. I’ve been thinking about doing something in the pressed flowers. Lovey cardigan and shawl. I’m thinking about joining your shawl along. You live a real life and I know how irritating it can be when your working and the dogs start barking. We who are listening need to just get over it.

[@suzannebright7932]

Watching from Nova Scotia and I was so excited to see you loving our local yarn #opulentalpaca. We have so many sweet little yarn shops in Nova Scotia and a few of them carry that brand…Fia Fia (gorgeous little yarn shop in Halifax with a beautiful online shop too) and Tracy’s Rolling Yarn Shop (travels throughout our province towing a cozy little yarn shop trailer). I would be happy to take you on a yarn crawl the next time you visit🧶❤️

[@cathyringer]

I have two doggos, I love the noise 🦮🦮

[@danishmusings]

If I didn’t consider us friends already (which obviously I do, if only because I was there when the yarn for the Eurus was bought 😚) I certainly do now. You guys are truly kindred spirits. As I just wrote on Instagram, I watched part of this in Paris and the rest back in Denmark, and I love how inspired and uplifted I feel now. Thank you. Can’t wait to get together again some day 🤍

[@laraneilson1080]

Great episode👍👍 I might have missed this so I apologize if you are repeating. Curious to know how you came across findiing Hjeholt yarn for the Eurus sweater. I cannot seem to find it anywhere and I'm eager to find some if possible. Thanks again, great projects👏⭐

[@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765]

Aw thank you!! I could not find it in Canada and literally had to travel to the Netherlands to get it! But I will say it’s definitely worth the extra effort as it is totally gorgeous!!!

[@darlenerowe6908]

New viewer. Thank the Posse

Hi Ladies , I am from Hamilton , Ontario I enjoy watching your podcasts a lot , your aesthetics and a great sense of humor ! I am learning how to knit and enjoy working with Nutiden yarn. I watched most of your podcasts .I have a question for Jackie , what size of needle did you use knitting Sheep Camp Sweater ? I purchased pattern and I am ready to challenge this sweater !

[@MrMonet111]

Love knitting my Fleur😊

[@ellisknitwear]

So, if you like cycling, you should google a tandem bicycle! The pun is absolutely brilliant ☺

[@mendezcher]

Carmen, if Tesselated is bottom up, wear a blazer to cover the lack of sleeves and a shawl to cover the lack of the top half yoke! 😂

[@lauraalicewatt]

yikes, so much good conversation as always, and lovely as always to see and share your wild enthusiasms and thoughtful reflections on All The Things -- and i totally get that animals will do what they will do (my cats went out in the rain and got soaked this morning while listening to this, silly boys that they are), but the volume and quantity of barking makes it really, really hard to hear at times -- they drown your voices out. i'm working on channeling the grace-and-patience angle, but also felt it's only honest to express how challenging it can be at times. and omg, you both will look -- and BE -- amazing up on that Rhinebeck hill, regardless of which knits you wear -- just wrap yourself in a Fleur (which i'm still considering, but started making a striped KISS shawl after your last podcast instead) and be done with it, you'll totally shine. (and I think i'm the last person on earth who hasn't made a Ranunculus yet, just cannot seem to decide on color.) OH, forgot to add: Jackie's Pressed Flowers cardigan is absolutely amazing, making me more eager to settle on something to make with Onska (maybe a Ranunculus!) -- looks great without the buttons. and Carmen, re: crew-necked cardigans, i just button the top 1-3 buttons (depending on the sweater, how close the buttons are together, and how chilly it is out) and leave the lower ones open -- love that look. but more often than not, here in Iceland, it's chilly enough that i want them all buttoned! (in contrast to your weather, it was 4°C here at my house two mornings ago!)

[@FluffyRainbowsRX]

Hi Hello. Regarding the Opulent Alpaca 🦙 yarn.. have you heard about the designer and KZbinr, Teti's knit garden? It’s possible her designs will tickle your fancy if they are not already on your radar. Happy knitting 🧶!

[@gretchenmariee]

Love you ladies. Dogs are a part of the deal here, and I LOVE it. I’m sorry people are being so unkind and rather ridiculous about the puppies. If one can’t recognize the goodness and love it takes to bring a vulnerable animal into your life, they can just get over it! Don’t like it, don’t watch. Goodness! Thank you for putting forth such beautiful and thoughtful content. I adore your friendship and how supportive you are of each other, how excited you get with each other’s knits and we all can use more humans like you in our world. Thank you for providing a sense of my Ontario home too.

[@lizurquhart4105]

Please write up the instructions for the crescent shawl!! ❤❤

[@cindylucas2662]

Jackie the modifications for a crescent Fleur shawl would be great! I am only 5’1” triangles are usually overwhelming. How tall are you?

[@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765]

Sorry for the delay!! Jackie is 5’2” I think? And she has added the info to her Ravelry!

[@bridgetthook6611]

Do you prefer magic loop, or using two sets of interchangeable needles? I’m fairly new to knitting, and will soon be at this crossroad.

[@danielleh5911]

I’m so happy to have been introduced to your podcast from MellyKnits a few months back (pre live speed date). The joy and excitement you have for each other is contagious! Good luck on the Rhinebeck sweater push. I know I’m much too slow of a crafter (🧶🐌) to have one done before my first trip there… maybe I’ll see you on a not the hill spot

[@aprilg3193]

I tried to push past the dog barking and watch, but I honestly couldn’t. I am not used to dogs so it was making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I understand it is your channel and you should do what you want. I can choose to not watch, which is what I have done, but I do wish I could have!

[@sunnyraingene]

My cats get stressed when the barking goes on for too long too! But i just skip a few seconds ahead or take a break and watch this amazing podcast in segments :)

[@aprilg3193]

@@gretchenmariee I didn’t say anything unkind. I just gave feedback!

[@rockstarkate78]

Agreed. I respect the decision not to try to quiet the dogs, so my decision will be not to watch any more. It just stresses me out too much. I'm sad that's the case because I love everything else.

[@luliknits]

I couldn't either and I do have dogs who bark, but not directly into my ear and with people shouting into the microphone thinking that would help us hear better; so sad, I really liked their energy :(

[@meredithanne]

I completely agree, can’t push past it

[@luliknits]

I just found your channel after watching the Knitting Stew :) ... a suggestion, maybe have a warning on the screen in the type of a text alerting to the barking? OR you could always edit it out, it's not quite so difficult to edit videos if you really wanted to learn how to. If I hear it without my earphones, my dog would go crazy and it would be impossible to hear you guys

[@knittingagoodyarnpodcast5765]

Aw thank you so much!! We just know that we can’t figure all that out but hopefully episode 12 and 13 were better!!

When dogs bark , they’re actually talking 👍❤️

[@joycetromba557]

So, it's cool that you guys don't care if people watch your podcast or not but I would really like to but honestly this last one was just too much with the dogs barking pretty much through the whole podcast. It didn't used to be a problem in your old setting...maybe you could consider going back to that. I would be sorry not to watch in the future but it was really painful. Thanks

[@goldwest53]

I'm sorry, but the barking is really annoying. I'm sure it bothers you even more. Good luck with that. ❤
