one thing I like to do with two-at-a-time, is pin the bottom of the sleeves/socks shut and put the yarn inside the sleeve. Keeps them in place, and saves on twisting and tangles.

[@OliphantKat]

Ooooh that's such a good idea! I'll give it a shot next time.

[@PlatypusKnitting]

That is brilliant! I'll have to give a try next time I get a chance.

😊 hey Kat. Lovely to catch up with you. Definitely cast on the shawl.

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Skye! I went with the top in the end, I'll explain why next time 😊

[@PlatypusKnitting]

Wow Kat! I applaud your perseverance in undoing that bind off 👏👏

[@OliphantKat]

Hahah oh dear, don't remind me. I think I've blocked it from my memory 😅🤣

[@alikelylass134]

Can't believe I missed this one! Those hats are fantastic, love little secret details.

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Wendy! Haha yeah they're a lot of fun, it's cute being able to hide things in your knits 🥰

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Wonderful episode! I really like your Hidden Luxuries hat.

[@OliphantKat]

Ahh thanks Roshelle! Also thank you so much for continuing to watch, I don't get many binge watchers around here so it's always so lovely when someone does and I'm glad you aren't sick of me yet hahaha 💜💜💜

Hi Katrina love your Ayami, great colour. For your hubby’s jumper maybe consider good old Cascade 220 or de Rerum Natura Gilliatt. Both have some rusty colours and I have knitted with both yarns and been pleased with the fabric and wear. Both non superwash and the Gilliatt is woollen spun so doesn’t become to heavy in a cabled jumper and both reasonably priced😀also I find both soft to wear against the skin, I don’t like prickly wool either🤣

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Debroah! I think Cascade 220 might be a bit too thin for what I want (I've used it before and it's sort've on the border of 8 and 10 ply) but I'll check out the de Rerum!

[@kelknits]

Lovely podcast as always - I really enjoy hearing about your design process.

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Kel! I'm so glad people actually find it interesting, I'm never sure if it is or not 😬😀

[@IamKylieGeeAKnittingPodcast]

Not your Nana's knitting. Absolutely love it!!

[@OliphantKat]

Thanks Kylie!

[@jennifairyknits]

Maybe have a look at Valley Yarns Northampton (Autumn Heather or Rust) from Webs? And cast on both! 😄

[@OliphantKat]

Ooh thanks Jen, I'll take a look! Haha I'm too much of a monogamous knitter to do both at once! Maybe one shortly followed by the other 😝
