I have got to get going on my Fruit Garden. Just trying to wrap up some other projects.. I’m so tempted to make the Tula Nova quilt

[@josephinehowe4063]

Absolutely beautiful Kaffe quilt top. Looking forward to seeing how you mix and match the Tula pink and the Kaffe fabrics.

Love your Carillon, it will be joining my ever growing queue!🥰 And about your move to the suburbs…I never thought I could leave city living but I would never go back & don’t even like visiting!

[@magsohara7908]

Love your shawl it’s beautiful. I’m not in to loud or garish colour combo’s so I find your battenburg crochet is so pretty Thanks for sharing 🙋🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love the Kaffe Fassett content! I’m a huge fan 😊 My current jam is using KF prints in traditional quilt motifs 😍 I enjoy the mix of traditional and modern.

[@Voolenvine]

YESSS! Likewise, Heather. I think it would be fun to try using his prints with more traditional 🤗.

[@drea3556]

Your Quilting is Amazingly Beautiful 🎉. Totally love your creativity ❤

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

The Carillon shawl is gorgeous in the interaction between the lace and the brioche sections. And your yarn colors are moody and warm! lol I recently brought home a tiny skein of Ito too! 🎉

[@lisaporch8922]

I love that mat that spins! The quilts your trying 😍😍

[@barbrowilhelmsson5247]

Thank you for talking about the blanket by Jane Crowfoot. I love the pattern and I have made 2 blankets now.

[@marydeloria8352]

The Carillon is such a gorgeous shawl! Oh, yes, right into the queue it goes . . . .

[@LittleAmygdala]

I’ve challenged myself to finish as many WIPs as I can in February. But seeing how gorgeous your Carillon Shawl is coming along is making me want to cast on one for myself. I think my Epic MAL project needs to be actually finishing my WIPs!

[@Voolenvine]

Sounds like a solid plan! Of course, one or two new and shiny projects should be allowed 😉

[@jatraveler1277]

Love that shawl... Gorgeous work. Epic projects to use my stash. I'm finding mohair to mix with my stash. Adds some excitement to a project.

[@phyllisburke4141]

The carillon shawl is fabulous. I love brioche but can not get it to work for me. Kaffe Fassett is the best.

[@Voolenvine]

Thank you, Phyllis! Ah, brioche isn't everyone's cup of tea. But also, sometimes it's just about finding a tutorial out there that makes it click for you. I hope you find one! 🤗

[@debrawortman1712]

Love the shawl, Kristin! Still haven't gotten up the nerve to try brioche, although I do have a beginner's kit from Morehouse Merinos. Maybe this will be the year!

[@Voolenvine]

Thank you, Debra! Oh, I hope you do give brioche a try. It's super fun once you get the gist. 😉

[@robinmarks5638]

Like I've said before I cant believe how much you get done from one episode to the next!! I had to laugh about the staying home instead of going out to eat! We are the same way! We live in a town of 600 and they have 2 eating places but it's just too much trouble to get ready to go out. LOL I can cook something quicker. Plus saves a ton of money to buy yarn and fabric! LOL

[@Voolenvine]

SO true! 😂 I'll take more craft supplies, any day.

[@estelanunezchannel]

Amazing quilt projects, i took some time off youtube i need to catch up ,the colors on that last quilt is amazing 🤩,that mauve and black yarn beanie is looking really cute ❤❤.

[@Voolenvine]

Thanks so much!! And welcome back, Estela! 🤗💖

[@ahill2239]

Great episode! For the MAL I got ambitious and chose to make a 48 inch square filet crochet curtain for my bathroom with Aunt Lydia size 10 ecru crochet cotton and a 2.35 mm hook. My brilliant plan to use foundation single crochet for the starting row has completely failed. It's obviously longer than the 6 inches of pattern I've done so far. It's wavy and there's no saving it - I must start over. Don't know why this weirdness occurred but thought I'd share for anyone who thinks of trying filet crochet with a foundational cast on.

[@Voolenvine]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! That sounds like a challenging project, but the FO will be so beautiful and worth it! Sometimes it takes a few false starts to get a project going 🤦‍♀

[@carolmorrison5173]

Can’t believe how quickly create things.

[@Voolenvine]

Not quite sure how I manage to do it either. I defintely don't have 8 arms! 🐙😂

[@josephinehowe4063]

So did you make a smaller size since you used Aran weight plus mohair? I have such a loose gauge and I knit Continental style so I usually go down two sizes of needles in whatever I knit. It took me a while to figure this out since when I first started knitting I knit with the English method of throwing and gauge was not a problem. So I am using DK and size 2 needles on my 5th Oslo hat.

[@Voolenvine]

Hey Josephine! I'm knitting her non-mohair version (size Adult Medium) which calls for DK weight yarn. I completely forgot to mention that while the Fibre Co. yarn I'm using claims to be Aran weight, I personally think it could pass for DK/sport. 😊

[@josephinehowe4063]

@@Voolenvine that makes sense to me now. thanks!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Finished quilt top? My gosh it seems you just introduced it a few weeks ago!! 😂😂😂

[@emmawileman3416]

I just went down a rabbithole and bought two patchwork books and I’m blaming you, mkay? 😉

[@Voolenvine]

Oops!! 🙈😂Which books did you get??

[@emmawileman3416]

@@Voolenvine Practical Patchwork and Applique Techniques, and Fun and Fabulous Patchwork and Applique, both by Gail Lawther. Secondhand and a steal, because that’s how I roll! 😉
