Episode 59 - Cozy Knits, Favourite Knits!

[@Diana-mn1fe]

Hi Selma, I don’t believe Strauch is in business any longer. From what I can make out the original owner sold the company. The person that bought the company passed away. It appears family and friends tried to keep the business going but eventually let it go. I placed an online order and got an automated confirmation but never received the product. I contacted the my credit card company and they indicated it looks like they are out of business. I honestly don’t believe there was fraud involved but they neglected to take down the website. I was able to get a refund through the credit card company and they were going to do an investigation but I never heard the final result.

[@littlebigknits]

Oh dear! Thank you for sharing!

Agree on Elena Ferrante! For mysteries, try Ruth Ware and Sarah Blaedel

[@helentkalcic4417]

Selma, congratulations on your fundraising/donation to your chosen charity!!! Wow!!! That’s amazing. Such a unselfish gesture on your part!!!! I held off in buying your pattern, but will be supporting your pattern sales!😃 hoping your KAL is a great success! I would say that hat is stunning on you! And like all your knits, I can see the vest you are planning will be yet another fabulous piece in your wardrobe 🥰 love your podcast, I also love the song you use to close your podcast off, and appreciate you let it go to the end.

[@littlebigknits]

Thank you so much for purchasing the pattern!!

[@cindyrowits1536]

Just found you! I'm beginning my 1st Ranunculus and have enjoyed your comments about yours. You've also completed and shown many garments I have Favorited on Ravelery and it's wonderful to see them and hear your thoughts. Those little socks and sweaters are great ornaments/gift tags. ( In school colors or like a varsity sweater)

[@julieknitsinthewoods2987]

What a lovely way to greet the day. Thank you for opening my morning 💕 you’ve inspired me to look back at my Laine magazine for Afterparty. I love the colors you selected for the Jen Steingass sweater. I have a lots of Jamieson and Smith in cones and skeins and some new Woolyknit British Wool skeins, so I’m thrilled to be inspired to put them to patterns. Your reading selections are lovely. I haven’t read Sue Monk Kidd in a few years. If you haven’t read it, you might like Snowflower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. A beautiful story that explores the beauty and strength within that draws individuals together amongst cultural tensions and expectations. With all that is happening in our global society, I feel like we need hope and perseverance amidst the struggles. Thanks again wishing you joyful days!

[@aquinnahsun]

I’ve just bought your skirt pattern, Selma, and plan to knit one for my beautiful daughter-in-law. But this means I need to ask her for her measurements! I have a ball winder similar to yours, and I love it. That beautiful diamond-y ball happens because of the offset nature of the winder mechanism, according to the Strauch website: “The Strauch jumbo ball winder generates a unique and distinctive diamond-shaped patterned ball as a result of its dual rotation. Two things must happen at the same time in order to wind a perfect ball. 1. The whole drive wheel assembly must rotate around the center bolt as the crank is turned ("A" arrow on left photo). 2. The wheel holding the yarn cylinder must also smoothly revolve on the clear plastic drive cone. ("B" arrow on left photo).”

[@moba8690]

I'm so happy I found your podcast. The knitting, (makers) community is so supportive of each other and post kind comments, as opposed to other things on the internet. Let's continue to lift each other up! Thank you again!

[@littlebigknits]

Yes let’s!!

[@MarilynWiley]

For your mini sock blocker make a sock shape from the side of a milk jug you can punch some holes in it for air flow but i don’t think it would be needed for such a small piece there are other kinds of plastic you could use but the milk jug plastic works great of yo7 thought i wasn’t thick enough just double it spray glued together. They sure will be cute when you get a bunch strung together.

[@littlebigknits]

Thanks for the idea!

[@anaka4458]

Hi, I understand not all, what you tell, because I don't speak English, but your podcasts are so lovely, you inspire me with your knit ideas and I can't to stop to watch them 😁 thank you very much. 👍👍👍

[@littlebigknits]

So glad you enjoy them 😊

[@kimsechrest2202]

As always--another great podcast. Also, please don't change your music--it's one of my favorite parts of your podcasts. I always listen to the very end (and whistle along). Happy Knitting.

[@craftymystic4868]

Loved ‘The Book of Joy” as well, and mourned the loss of Desmond Tutu. ❤️💔

I had a hard time not choking up just talking about it ♥️

I sure do miss Ottowa, nice to see a little bit of footage, and hear from someone from there.. beautiful city. Nice touch with the snow mould and candle at the end, well done!

Thanks for another great podcast. Love your great way with names etc. Nearly missed you because I forgot to subscribe. Fixed now 😀😍

[@MarshaNovak]

Those indigo dyed socks match your eyes on my screen - very nice - and great socks

[@ollerupcrafts]

I have got two pair of socks out of my skein of Robin WYS, with using contrasting colours for heel, toe and cuff. A pair for me and for a pair for my husband. ☺️

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Interesting that all your favourite sweaters are fingering weight- so much knitting involved, but worthwhile in the end, it seems. I am playing with different sock yarns this year to see what is my favourite, style, heel, toe, and yarn, so found the socks talk really interesting. I have a pair of socks in Kroy, which I think is non super wash with nylon and they are definitely warmer than my pair with superwash yarn. However, I think the Kroy is more sport weight than fingering, so that might make a difference too. I have ordered some West Yorkshire Spinners yarn and would also like to try Mondim as both receive rave reviews. Congrats on your skirt pattern success. That must have felt wonderful to be able to give such a substantial donation to a charity and very kind of you to have chosen that route. Thanks for another lovely “visit”. I hope Ottawa warms up. We are finally out of the derp freeze in the BC interior, but still pretty snowy.

[@littlebigknits]

I’m not sure about Kroy myself. I have some that I hope to knit up this year. Sock knitting is a fun way to experiment with different styles, yarns and stitches too!

[@karencooper1978]

Love all of your finished knits! Magnolia Bloom sweater is beautiful. And, the colour of your hat really suits you - - it makes your blue eyes pop! Your podcast is very calming and happy to hear the end song again ‘I Love you only’, my favourite!

[@gaynormackintosh2536]

Thank you Selma for another lovely visit with you I really enjoyed it. At the moment I seem to be knitting hats my present WIP is the Sumburgh Light Hat from the 2021 Shetland Wool Week Annual. I thoroughly recommend it lovely patterns and some very interesting articles.

[@mirili3836]

Hi Selma, I am starting knitting and reached out to your channel by chance. It was a delightful time I spent with you. Loved your projects your music in the intro and at the end, also your footage. I'm from Brazil and spent some time in Toronto, enjoyed the snow, and miss it a lot! Very glad I met you! Take care! Xoxo. Miriam

[@littlebigknits]

Welcome to the channel!! 😊😊

[@Elianaalfonso7703]

That magnolia bloom sweater is stunning and so flattering!

[@chrismontague463]

Hello, I am so pleased I have found your podcast. I am now catching up with the others from the beginning. I have just got back into knitting and it is a revelation to see what is available now. I live in England so seeing your travel filming is also interesting.

[@monica4705]

The Mouton Noir hat looks great on you, and I don't see it as "sticky-outty"...:) Thanks for the beautiful scenery shots, too.

[@juliamorrisey5541]

Loved the scenery and all the snow. I will be interested to see what pattern you choose for your red vest to replace the one you fogged. I find sometimes that I have trouble matching yarn and a project. I want to make a scarf or shawl for my sister using stash yarn. I fogged several yarn and pattern starts when they just were not producing a project that made me happy. I am on my 4th pairing and think I finally hit on one that will work. I really enjoy your podcast and was glad to hear you mention Kate. I hope she is doing well. I miss her podcast.

[@FibreBound]

I really love your magnolia bloom sweater! Thank you for a lovely episode, the snow crunching under foot was a wonderful sound at the end too! It has been almost 10 years since I walked in snow and that sound takes me back to my childhood! ❤️

[@littlebigknits]

Where were you then that you had crunchy snow?

[@FibreBound]

@@littlebigknits we visited Finland, England and Poland for a family vacation 10 years ago to show our children our heritage. My mother in law is from Finland, my father in law is from England and I was born in Poland and lived there until I was 6. We still have extended relatives in each country so it was lovely to visit them too!

[@svance1041]

So nice to spend time with you this weekday. Great inspiration as usual! I agree with your book comments…great books! I have read Mary Lawton’s new book, which I loved, and the one you read is on my library TBR list! Your hat is just adorable and looks great on you!

[@carolynfowler3133]

Such beautiful knits. I am not at the stage of trusting how a sweater will look as a vest. I’m loving my most recent vest and will look forward to how your next one turns out. You are going to love your skirt in the Briggs and Little. So warm and great for snowshoeing! The clips of the snow laden mountain ash made my heart sing. The bears stripped all the berries off the trees around us this fall (hot dry summer led to fewer other berries and hungry bears). We are missing that beautiful winter pops of colour.

[@littlebigknits]

Where are you that you have bears so nearby?? I love mountain ash!

[@carolynfowler3133]

@@littlebigknits 😂We live in Canmore, AB. A little town just to the east of Banff and 1 hour from Canmore. We are fortunate to have bears, elk, deer , coyotes (only seen one wolf) around all the time. Makes life interesting walking our puppy (Old English Sheepdog) and teaching her to respect the wildlife.

[@lisacox4323]

All of your knits seem to fit you so well. Such an accomplishment! Mine seem to always be too small or too big.

Gorgeous Magnolia - white suits you! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@marciamcguire6501]

Thank you, Selma ~ another Wonderful visit ! So enjoy each one. Your hat is absolutely THE BEST on you : color is Divine on you as well as style. Fabulous !!!! Congratulations on your GORRRgeous knitting ! Brava ! I took your book suggestions - thank you , Selma - my sister and I will be reading them. And, lastly - I just love that ending song. I know you'll be ending with it and look forward to it. All the best, marcia

[@MsKarenMR]

Congratulations to the Winner 🎉 Looking forward to the Kal, still searching for yarn. 🤗 One thing I am so fond of is the time one of our members from our last knitting group took the time to knit sweater ornaments for everyone for gifts. Such a delightful treasure!!! And, you're to do a sock garland...Wow!!! Many treasures! Applause!! Happy knitting 💖!!

[@TheTeaQueen96]

Loved this intro! So calming and peaceful. Hope you're all well. I'm knitting two matching Flax sweaters for my parents for their anniversary. I underestimated how much knitting it would be, so I'm watching all the podcasts to get me through!

[@littlebigknits]

That is such a lovely gift!!! Kudos to you!! You’ll get through them!

[@luciaevangelho4593]

Hoping the weather will get better by late Feb. Will be visiting my son that lives on Ottawa. Great Episode! The the mini socks.

[@aeastman59]

thank you for experimenting with natural vs superwash sock yarns I will be so interested to see what you find.... something about the superwash treatment, which is plastic like, makes feet sweat and causes the wool to loose warmth for sure. Your sweaters are so nice, I think I have to make a silver forest this year

[@crystalrogers9392]

Thank you again. Your podcasts soothes my soul. 😌

[@margarethastings6010]

Hi Selma, I was told that if you wrap your yarn around the bobble before you knit your next stitch, it will help the bobble stand out better, and I think it works well, just subscribed to your podcast, and looking forward to your next podcast, sending blessings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve recently found you and I love your podcasts. Thank you so much. I have so much to look up now. Your book recommendations and Santa’s Laundry Line, I’ve been wanting to knit something like that for years. Thank you from Maple Ridge, BC.

Lovely podcast. Your sweater is so nice. I love Mary Lawson , Road End. Thanks for the other two recommendations.

[@blou5598]

Happy New Year, Selma. Great to see you and your wonderful knits. Regarding your 2021 book, on your recommendation I read The Book of Longings--loved it too. A very special book. Thank you for the recommendation...and for the closing song.

[@kirsteneriksrdlandsverk9314]

I just love your choise of colours!!💙🧡❤🤍 And itˋs just so nice when you use the norwegian yarn, far away over there in Ottawa😊 I really like Hillesvåg and Rauma yarn. It come out so beautiful. Thank you for an inspiration episode 🌻

I’m really looking forward to knitting with the Rauma!

Purchased your skirt pattern, thank you. Looking forward to making this skirt!!!

[@adrienneschmidt2053]

Selma, you have inspired me to knit a skirt, though not the west village. I’m using repurposed yarn - Galway heather, cascade 220, and patons classic wool.

[@littlebigknits]

Those will be perfect!!

[@cindyg.8425]

So enjoyed your sharing. The hat you made is nice. Great color for you. I wish I looked so great as you in a snowy walk….. my head is wrapped in a thin wool tech scarf, hat atop… mask on…. We have 2 little pups and I do most walks ( they only go out on leash). Here in MI., we have such extreme cold I use a hat that is lined and ties below my chin. I don’t look chic but I aim for warmth. Tiny soxs are adorable ! Thank you again for a lovely Sunday as I knit my Ankers Sweater.

[@littlebigknits]

I’ve been thinking that a hat with flaps may be a next venture in hat making!

[@cindyg.8425]

@@littlebigknits I loved your Westboro hat and have worn many times for “ date night”…. Or when traveling ( what are those in Pandemic times)? I just feel a bit more dressed up in that hat. I have made Thorpe that has flaps and my husband really likes this one. Take care Selma.

I made mini sock blockers from tupperware lids so I could wet block them.

Selma your Magnolia Bloom looks amazing. I have my yarn to cast that on, just haven't started yet, I think seeing yours has given me the push I needed. All your knits are fabulous. I'm hoping I have some yarn in stash to knit your West Village Skirt sometime soon. As always a lovely podcast, Thank you for sharing. :)

So lovely to wake up to a new episode to go with my Sunday knitting!

[@margaretblank9351]

Love the mini sock. That said, I knit them regularly -- for babies. This past year - 18 months - many of my friends have had grandbabies or grandnieces/nephews -- so I've made them baby socks. Then I found myself making 'kiddie' socks for those who had older sibs!

[@claudiacano4916]

I love your projects, what a great idea making mini socks and sweaters for Christmas decorations, the designer Belén Fernández has a pattern called Puntalinos that includes instructions for mini sweater, sock, and hat. Also the designer Beatriz Molina has a free pattern for a mini Santa Hat. That last one is in Spanish, but the first one is in English and Spanish.

[@littlebigknits]

Thanks for those recommendations!!

[@patriciabollman8950]

Interesting program! You should make another hat in the blue color that the ribbed socks are made of. The color accents your blue eyes. My question: where can I buy nylon reinforcement thread to use for heels and toes of socks?

[@littlebigknits]

Many yarn shops carry it. I got some at Cricket Cove in Fredericton and I think I have bought some locally as well in the past.

[@tanyaseaman67]

Your Magnolia Bloom fits you perfectly! Thank you for the book recommendations. I've just reserved The Book of Joy.

[@protu56]

Hi, Selma! I wonder if you've Knut Hamsun's novel 'Growth of the soil'? If not, I will strongly recommend that you check it out. The language is so simple, and so strong! On socks, I find my superwash ones to be rather cold and not really for winter use. Putting on a real wool sock is like having a small oven on my feet 😊 Love, Britt.

I know the extreme cold is putting your beautiful knits to good use. Seeing the gorgeousness of the snow falling at the start of the video made me a tiny bit envious.

Thanks for todays podcast I love all the cosy knits. I totally agree about yarn affecting the warmth of socks. I find superwash merino doesn’t keep my feet that warn but are great in spring and autumn. Blue faced Leicester fares better I have a wool cashmere silk blend that are strictly house socks but are great. I’m going to try a non superwash sock next. They make warm light sweaters so should make cosy socks too.

I have just discovered you on KZbin so I'm in for a bit of binge viewing. Heavy snow here in Calgary, Alberta so won't feel guilty at all. Looking at the background I see a beautiful wood carved tree, may I ask where you would have purchased that, was it from a local wood turner. Thank you for a pleasant afternoon.

Selma- what a lovely visit I had with you. While I watched your episode I knit on my Navagio pullover by Kate Terentyeva. I am knitting it in Purl Soho Linen Quill in a cobalt blue colour. I can tell that it is going to be a go to sweater for me! I enjoyed your segment on your favourite knits and they are just stunning! I also have a pair of socks knit with Woolly Mammoth's Natural Sock base and they are warm and one of my favourites. I definitely find there is a difference in warmth between my non superwash and superwash socks. It has been a great learning experience for me! Have a great week.
