S2 Ep. 10// I'm Back with Finished Objects + my thoughts on Lawn Mowing.

[@218lorna]

I’m glad you’re back! Thanks for the podcast. I’ve only knit the DRK everyday socks so far, and definitely recommend. I love Andrea’s tutorials and so many of her patterns.

[@vandynapier5059]

So good to see you. I was beginning to worry about you. I need to see this blue yarn you ended up with. Glad you made it to Artful Ewe.

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

It's so great to see you again. 💜Your projects look amazing!🧶

[@madisonmonteze]

what a treat to catch up with you! ❤❤❤

[@KNIT_LA]

I've definitely missed you in this space and so happy to see/hear you today! That shawl is exquisite and I'm totally in love with your DRK Everyday, which has a handspun quality due to the variation of wool. I recently discovered Lavender Lune at Flock and it is truly special. xoxo

Welcome back! We all need time off once in a while! Funny, my husband is at Lowe's right now buying a new lawn mower because ours broke after 40+ years of good service! Love the shawl!!

[@Knitweekend]

😆 40 years…… that’s a VERY impressive lawn mower. Practically a member of the family! Thanks for hanging with me!

[@gillmatthews5869]

Lovely to catch up with you and yes please I would love to see your yarn store hop xxx

[@All.things.grandish]

I’ve made the DRK Everyday Socks multiple times. They’re fun, fit well, and the fleegle heel is amazing. Beware, they look very odd while you’re knitting but it all works out. 😂

[@wendysopel-tetreault2058]

Hi, this is the first time catching your podcast and I really like how much detail you give, and your experience knitting your projects. I too knit the DRK Everyday sweater and at the time I was a newer knitter so ordered exactly the same colour and wool required from her specs. I absolutely love how it fits me and immediately made me an Andrea fan 🎉it is still my favourite one mostly because of the fit and it feels like a comfy sweatshirt. You’ll probably get a lot of wear with the shawl even though it is heavier than you anticipated- it looks very cozy.

[@Knitweekend]

Thanks for watching, Wendy, and Welcome!! I equally loved the original yarn from the pattern. If I hadn’t already had this in stash, I would probably have done the exact same thing!!

[@VBotha1]

So happy for a new video! ♡

[@Knitweekend]

Yay!!

[@hannahgknits]

Good for you for taking space for yourself! Missed seeing you on here and glad you’re back ❤️

[@agillsfo]

So so happy to see you today!! We are coming to Nashville on the 11th for Anthony to participate in the Ryan Centennial festivities. He graduated in 1958!! I was at St. Bernard Academy. But you know all that. I would love to catch up with you and meet in person!! How might I find you? Just let me know! ❤ Angela

[@zsuzsannabeard7840]

Glad to see you again! My favorite Andrea Mowry sweater is Wool and Honey. I knit it in the exact same color and yarn she used for the design and I love it!

[@joy1400]

So glad to see you back! I am sorry it’s been a rocky time for you. I always look forward to seeing what you’re knitting!

[@Knitweekend]

Thank you so much for watching too!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@KnotablueKnits]

Welcome back! Great to hear your voice and see Miss Sweet Georgia!

[@Knitweekend]

Thank you, Allyson!! 🐈‍⬛

[@Nardaa-ox3be]

I hid Ranunculus in my Ravelry years ago so I wouldn’t have to see it every day. Drove me crazy how it looked so sloppy, droopy and ill-fitting on almost everyone. One size DOES NOT fit all. However, I’ve seen a few knitters recently do a wonderful job with gauge swatches and yarn choices to get it to fit well. It looks great on you. Good job!

[@lucilesenseney5556]

I always enjoy your podcasts..so glad you are back! Reading and knitting are 2 of my passions.

[@Knitweekend]

Hi Lucille!! I definitely think I need better balance between the two. I’ve been all in on the knitting for so long. Bringing the reading back in has been fun!

[@KnitandGrace]

So lovely to catch up with you, Hailey! I’ll definitely have to hop in the DMs and find out more of your lawn mowing/watering/weeding hot takes! 😂

[@thethrivingtwenties]

It's wonderful to see you and your projects on here again! I miss you lots. Exploring WA with you was so much fun!!! P.S. I spy a matching shorts moment 😂❤

[@Knitweekend]

Your eyes do not deceive!! Miss you too!!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Helloooo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 0:27

[@lauramartens5516]

Love your DRK Everyday sweater! I started it and enjoyed it very much, but the increases on the yoke were visible. What increases did you use? Wondering if I hold a Suri alpaca with my yarn that may help hide the increases a little? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you!

[@Knitweekend]

Hi!! I used M1L. I think you’re right that it’s the yarn choice. Anything SW or very round and even will show the increases more. I’d consider using something woolen spun or a loose 2-3 ply. I think the original yarn for the pattern might even be marled slightly which would help make that less noticeable too.
