Knitting Podcast Ep. 7 - Finished Knus Light, blanket progress, and lots of sleeve knitting

[@nadinedetain6765]

Wow, I love the kitovakika's pattern, the colour is also beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I do not mind not seeing only summer knits.

[@AKnitterObsessed]

Thank you! 😊 I feel like there’s a bit of pressure in the KZbin knitting podcast world to knit seasonally, but I’m finding I’m just more drawn to sweaters regardless of the weather. It’s reassuring to hear that people are still interested in non-summer projects 😁

Beautiful beautiful knitting! Love them all! I think I’m sticking with socks and two monthly blanket club projects! Simple but fun. 🤩

[@AKnitterObsessed]

Those sound like great plans! Simple and fun is the best!

The wishbone sweater is gorgeous ❤nice work!!

I can sympathize with the struggle to knit big or heavy projects in the summer. Already 90+ here. Love the color of your shirt!

[@AKnitterObsessed]

Yeah, we’re not even that hot yet and I’m struggling. I’m actually thinking summer will be a good time to work on my sock knitting goal

Hi Bonnie! love the way your Knus Light turned out! Can you please do a special episode where you give us a tour of your bookshelves? I love it as your backdrop and love books and am so curious about your and your husband’s reading tastes. Love from Alaska!

[@AKnitterObsessed]

I would love to do something like this! If not a full tour, then maybe a knit and chat where I share some of the highlights 😁

[@robynearl]

I dont knit, but you came through my feed and I came to say that you have the most beautiful and cute hair. It looks so good on you. Cheers from Missouri!❤

[@AKnitterObsessed]

Thank you so much!

[@BostonMelG]

That blanket is so fun!

[@AKnitterObsessed]

Thank you! I’m really enjoying watching it come together 😊

I live in Arizona and all I have on my plate to knit this summer are woolly garments, so I can relate. I also love knitting socks and since we are on the go a lot during the summer they are easy to take in the car. I also have come to realize that I just don't love summer yarns for a variety of reasons. I started knitting a cotton bag and it is killing my hands so I can only do a few rounds a day. Between that and how the summer yarns stretch out funny after the garment is worn, I'm just not too eager to try. One yarn I would like to try for a lighter weight garment though is Berocco Remix. I've heard great things about that yarn.

[@AKnitterObsessed]

I’m definitely looking to start getting into socks this summer for both the portability and because I like the idea of not having a bunch of knitting in my lap when it’s in the 90s or 100s. I haven’t actually tried many summer yarns, but when I use cotton for blankets I definitely feel it in my hands, so I totally get where you’re coming from. I wish you luck with all your wooly plans and will be working on wool right along with you 😊

I am enjoying getting to know you through your channel, so thank you. The only thing I have (and it's me as a former English teacher thing) the Hue Shift Afghan is using mitered squares (m-ī-ter-ed) squares not metered (m-ē-tered) squares. I would have sent this correction as a private message but couldn't figure out how, so I apologize in advance for any embarrassment I have caused.

[@AKnitterObsessed]

Haha, thank you for the very considerate correction, I genuinely appreciate it. I honestly wondered the entire episode if I was saying it the right way so I’m happy to know for future episodes. It’s that tricky situation where you’ve only ever read a word and never heard it said out loud haha 😂

[@donnadalelio5625]

I love the knus light sweater you're wearing. How much yarn did you use?

[@AKnitterObsessed]

Thank you! I used 178 grams which is about 872 yards

[@kit000003]

Mitered is pronounced My-turd

[@AKnitterObsessed]

I was wondering that the whole video haha, thanks
