Tidbits-Only Travel Edition // Casual Friday S05E37

[@fionaarmstrong6587]

I visited the Kaffe Fasset event in London yesterday. The quilts and fabrics were amazing. No knitting though. I would also refer others to the fruity knitting pods casts which has a few interviews with Kaffe and Brandon Mably.

As a knitter of Portuguese descent, enjoy Lisboa & wherever else you go. Thank you for great tidbits!

[@sunrhyze]

That prayer book was great, especially being able to zoom in and see the thread. My high school French from over 40 years ago came in handy as I realized the page I was looking at was the Lord's Prayer, and I could read the entire thing! That was fun, thank you for the link.

Hope you have a wonderful vacation. I have been to Portugal 3 times and always go south to the Algarve coast. It is well worth the trip , simply beautiful. Missed you last week.

[@sisterstephanie2557]

Thank you for another very interesting video. I hope you don't mind me adding that Fruity Knitting episodes #116 and 117 consist of an interview with Kaffe Fassett.

[@aroundtheworldfibers]

I hope you are having a wonderful trip. I am always amazed at the wealth of information you have and even more so while you are on vacation! I need a 48 hour day! 😂

[@vadec5909]

Awesome!! Vacation!!! Enjoy it

[@edinacole6382]

What exciting topics today! Fascinating. thank you

[@kerrifarnsworth-hoback1761]

I ❤ that the first thing you do to prepare for travel is think about what knitting to take along!

[@MonicaLea]

I even took knitting with me when I went down to Florida to work Hurricane Ian

[@elizabethscott3218]

She must not have flown Lufthansa! I decided to leave my knitting at home instead of putting it in my checked bags as required.

[@sueaitkin8030]

Such an interesting podcast! Enjoy your trip. Thanks

[@sandraponte3121]

Your tidbits are always so fascinating…thank you so much for sharing! 😊

[@mkeller18]

I've been to the Bata Shoe Museum! When I was single I traveled to Toronto with my family and on a whim I dragged my family there. I highly recommend going there, even if there are no special exhibits or lectures going on.

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Roxanne. How nice of you to have Casual Friday while your on your trip! Thank you for sharing such interesting tidbits. I was in Lisbon years ago when my family went to Spain, Portugal and Africa. Great memories. Enjoy the rest of your trip! Safe travels!💕

[@tamaragrottker7677]

Always very interesting information you bring to your podcast to massage our brains! Thank you. Have an amazing trip.

[@ccpperrett7522]

Thank you Roxanne. Very interesting tidbits today.

[@andreamiller6200]

So exciting that you are in Lisbon! I was enchanted with it when I visited in the late 1980s and I had no idea how much I would enjoy that visit - I am hoping you are finding the same and are enjoying the myriad of wonderful walks in and around town.

[@susanmcbride4703]

Enjoy your trip!

[@christinevalentine3373]

I’m so impressed with your organisational skills. Surcharge very interesting information. I’m fascinated by the forensic investigation. I hope you are both having a good rest and come back refreshed.

[@christinevalentine3373]

Siri prefers surcharge to “such”

[@jenniferrich5292]

I can’t wait to see the sock fabric in that colorway. Also, I SO LOVE that women were making money in Iceland 😍😍 Can’t wait to read the article. Thank you so much for tidbits!!

[@mariehansen2534]

My goodness you are so funny, in a really nice way. What a beautiful surprise to see your face on the screen when you are meant to be away having a break. What a wonderful generous husband you have allowing time for a Podcast. It was really interesting and a very full podcast. Thank you for your Podcast and I hope you enjoy the remainder of your time in Lisbon. Take care both of you. I will see you when I am looking at you.

[@granitestateyarns]

The woven prayer book is fascinating! I recognized the Litany of Loreto immediately, but to think that it is all woven! Incredible.

[@sjmer32]

The Bata Shoe Museum (we always pronounced the old shoe store in Canada Baa Ta, like the sound a sheep makes and the informal goodbye) is a really cool place. It's been over 20 years since I've been there, and now I wish I had the chance to go back. Enjoy your trip

[@Richard_Szobi]

It is actually English pronautiation. It was Czechoslovak Tomáš Baťa who found the Baťa Company around the world. We have also Baťa university here in Czech Republic

[@kristad9016]

By the time I watched this Saturday morning 9:30 PDT, the shaker hat event was sold out. 😢. I hope it’s fun for anyone that got in! I also think I need to get a subscription to Scientific American!

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

That hat looks amazing! I can't wait to see the presentations about it all.

[@enacrt]

Thanks for taking time from your vacation to male a video! I hope you enjoy Lisbon, eat all the doces conventuais, and hopefully learn Portuguese knitting in the meantime 😁🇵🇹

[@bcase5328]

On the shaker hat: was the button hole loop a double duty feature, to hold the button or to hook on the man's belt so he didn't lose the hat while carrying it?

[@Sequoya]

Great episode!

[@Sequoya]

The F.O.O.F video was so cute! I like the band. Thanks for the introduction.

[@xbaczewska4197]

I was only ever in Lisbon for a weekend in the early 90s. Even tho it was Easter Weekend and much was closed, i loved it. The tile on the buildings and in every entryway were so inspiring. Even though i was there for 'work' ( i was doing live performance a cappella vocals for choreographer Dennis OConnor's dance opera Amor Omnia), it felt like a wonderful vacation. I hope you are having as lovely a time.

[@karenmayo4558]

I twisted my Counting Sheep blanket and am in shock! In other words, there was a border knitted separately that got twisted after I finished the bottom and sides and started the top. Help! I am supposed to sew this around the middle rectangle but it is twisted! I don't want to ravel! Do I cut somewhere? I'm not doing all those sheep, moons and stars over! Do I cut it? I found some instructions on doing that. I also need to do a vertical cut in a 5-row garter stitch that is part of the twist. It's a border of the sheep border if that makes sense.

[@NinaKeilin]

Woven book--mind blown!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

I wish you a great trip in Portugal. Are you visiting yarn producers or shops ? I always pack my knitting first when I travel, even for a weekend in the country. 😉Where would you get racoon and silk fiber today ???

[@sasharaj]

Raccoon are probably not like sheep which are sheared for their fleece. Do you know, Roxanne, if raccoon fur is harvested like say a mink would be?

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

@@sasharaj good question

[@RoxanneRichardson]

The link in the show notes explains how the yarn was produced.

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

@@RoxanneRichardson Fascinating article.WE have racoon infestation in Montreal, we would need a mill to process the fur though. ills are the missing link today !!!

[@lesliefatout4731]

I accidentally hit the dislike button, but I went back and changed it to a "like." I NEVER dislike your podcast, and this one was no exception! Thank you for so many fun and interesting tidbits to follow up!

[@TheMetatronGirl]

Don’t worry. KZbin disabled the Dislike button a while back in order to foster a more positive environment. Even if it was still enabled, a dislike counted as engagement and helped the channel. Thought you might want to know. 😃

[@juliapriest9427]

Sending youa ravelry message from Lisbon!!

When I run across an image I want more information on, I start with using tineye. Sometimes I hit paydirt. I Like it better than Google Image because I found that G-image uses the text tags embedded in the image whereas tineye actually looks at the image.
