Untangled Knitting Podcast Episode 1 // Cocoknits Cardigan, Shifty Sweater, First Test Knit and more

[@lorirolison2502]

Very lovely first podcast; love your content, aesthetic and philosophy . Your thoughts about creating, being a means by which we insert ourselves into the world, is a truly fascinating concept. Never looked at crafting in this way, but, believe it to be so true. Really love the color combinations you put together; we seem to have a similar taste . Take Care and Happy Knitting until next time.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Lori! I so appreciate the kind words and support! I will look for your work 🤗

[@tanjabrauer6391]

Yay! Another Oaklander! Loved your episode! 💚

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Huzzah for Oakland knitters! Thanks for the support, Tanja!

[@jeannine7362]

Love the vibe of this podcast. Relaxed, inviting, no drama! Thank you. Please keep the content coming.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you Jeannine! Will be filing again this weekend! 🤗

[@ekartak]

I feel you so much on the Spincycle thing. I have 2 bags full of beautiful colorways that have no projects because I just love to use it. I made the mistake if joining the mailing list so whenever they restock or release new colors I can’t help but snatch up what I can!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Hi Erikka, yes, it’s a dangerous email list 😂

[@orose4721]

The nap sweater is GORG!!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks so much, Orissa! It’s so much fun to wear (why yes I do steal it frequently! 😏)

[@goldwest53]

I’m binge watching your podcast! I’m so glad to find another Cocoknits and Nutiden fan!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Absolutely, Kathie! Thank you and Welcome! 🤗

[@GoldStarWork]

I love to knit while I watch knitting podcasts. Good luck with your videos.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much! I love sharing with you all! 🤗

[@susanadams8119]

I really enjoyed your first podcast. You didn't come across as nervous at all! I look forward to the next one.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you Susan! I so appreciate your support (and glad to hear my nerves weren’t distracting!)

[@pamelageoghegan8859]

Just discovered your podcast and enjoyed it. Love the hat. Must catch up on the other episodes. Hope all goes well for you.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much, Pamela! I think I’ve gotten a bit better over the last few months, welcome to the commun-knitty!

[@justdelphine5190]

I love your podcast and yiur shifty sweater is awesome.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Delphine! I do wear it a ton! ☺️ I appreciate the support and hope you’ll be back! Filming a new episode this weekend 🤞

[@yarncurator]

Congrats on taking the plunge and podcasting!! It’s a lot of fun getting to know people and their making. I love seeing fellow knitters projects, yarns, and color combos. I loved the pop of neon-ish peach on your shifty. I need to pick mine back up. 🧡

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so! The Shifty was hard to imagine as a farmer when I was making it, but now it’s one of my most worn pieces!

[@tinagartner3497]

Listening from denmark you are soo good very calm for me 🙏🙏

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Tina! I’m so glad you enjoy, please share 🤗 ❤️

[@susiewhite9154]

Thank you for a wonderful first podcast episode. You have a great eye for color. I enjoyed all of your segments. Will be interested in your up and coming “Untangled” app. 😊 Knit On 💕

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much, Susie! I just pushed publish on Episode 2, and SO appreciate your support :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyYdpesr7uLa80

[@heatherlynnewest]

Oh hey neighbor!! I live in Oakland too! I am really enjoying your podcast.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Howdy, neighbor! 🤠 Love our Bay Area fiber fam 🤗

[@borkeen1]

Loved your first episode! Keep it up! I have an alpaca ranch in Texas and I wanted to reassure you. You said the Melted Baby Suri didn’t sound good for the alpaca. The “baby” description indicates the fineness of the fiber. The alpacas are not harmed in the shearing. Just living their best life eating hay in the sun.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you! I imagined as much, just thought the language was a bit funny! ☺️

[@angelam.2099]

I stumbled on your podcast. I really enjoyed it! Super cool you are in the Bay Area like me :) I'll be looking forward to more episodes in future.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Love our Bay Area knitters! ❤️ Thank you for your support!

[@carolbyrne3241]

Just found your first podcast and I loved it, your voice is so gentle and I loved your colour choices. Looking forward to your next one ❤️

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Carol! I was nervous, but already looking forward to episode 002 :)

[@janeannmunroe1250]

Concise, information filled, intelligent! What a first podcast! I am grateful. Thank you a million times. I have already checked out the Untangled App and can’t wait to hear more. The best!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

What kind words! Thank you, Jane Ann, for your support, I so appreciate it and more to come!

[@nicolamarek9624]

Fantastic 1st episode, you are a natural, not awkward at any point. Looking forward to many more. Well done!! Nicki from Australia 🌼

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Nicki (I’m glad I hid my nervousness ☺️) Already excited for Episode 2 and a special Portland report too!

[@juliagabriele819]

Great first episode, can’t wait for the next one!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much! I'm excited to report back after the Rose City Yarn Crawl . . . should have some fun to share!

[@nonnasstitchingloungewithr7281]

Welcome to the fibre podcast community. You have some beautiful makes and I love your wishful knitting. I will definitely be watching!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Dream/wish knitting was in high gear this weekend at the Rose City Yarn Crawl, so many projects planned, will have a full report next week!

[@mywoolmitten]

So glad to find your podcast, congratulations on your first episode, well done! So many beautiful projects 😊 Look forward to seeing more!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you for your support! I’m very excited to put out the next episode soon!

[@butterfly-zf9xo]

Great video! It is really inspiring and really comforting... I'm Lily and I'm from Ukraine and it's the 7th day of war with Russia here. Russia invaded us... And I'm trying to find some videos that would comfort me and keep me calm and relaxed.... And your video is just perfect, thank you. It helped me to forget about the war for at least some time. May God bless you. Keep knitting! (I'm a knitter too)

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Dear Fier, words cannot express my condolences and sympathies for you and your country. I hope you find comfort wherever you are able and know that I am sending love and strength to you and yours. The knitting community holds you from around the world. ❤️ 🕊 🧶

[@amandaanderson6242]

Hi Lilly from Australia you did not look nervous at all, really enjoyed your podcast while knitting and drinking coffee. I’m also knitting Goldwing it’s a beautiful pattern and all your projects are inspiring. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll be working on next.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks a million, Amanda! I have some super fun new cast ons and plans that I can’t wait to share!

[@sarahb4330]

Love the philosophy of being more you! Beautiful first episode, thank you

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Sarah!

[@mikedianestephens8010]

Congrats to you. Great job! I really enjoyed your podcast and look forward to seeing more. Happy knitting! 🎉🏐🏐

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m learning and love sharing with you all 🤗

[@annadaku8396]

Welcome to the podcasting world! I’m so excited to hear your are developing an app - that is a real need and I can’t wait to see where it goes!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks for your support, Anna! I am looking forward to sharing the app progress along with the knitting!

[@margreffle]

Your podcast came up on my KZbin and your voice was so soothing, I knew I'd love listening to you talk about knitting! Then I checked out your Instagram and saw you also love Nutiden yarn. And can I say, another reason I was curious about your podcast was because your cardigan you are wearing looks like the Fluff Nugget Cardigan I just finished? It's all brioche, and I knit it with Nutiden held double. It's so fluffy and light! I'm so happy to get in on your first podcast, and can't wait to see more!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Marg! I have seen some beautiful fluff nuggets sweaters and definitely considering one myself. It sounds divine in Nutiden 🤩

[@sheonaghgall5010]

Congratulations on starting your new podcast. Beautiful aesthetics. Love your work. Please can you hold up the garments when you first start talking about them so that we can have a longer look whilst you talk. 🤗

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much for your feedback! I tried to do just that in my second episode, and I also inserted images-please let me know what you think! 😊

[@cindylucas2662]

Congratulations on your podcast! I enjoyed your color choices!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Cindy! Picking colors is one of my favorite parts of any project!

[@cathy8412]

Thank you for this. What a wonderful inspiring podcast! I’m a fairly new knitter, and am so impressed by so many talented knitters putting themselves out there on KZbin, helping so many of us on our knitting journeys. Now to go back and check out all of the projects you showed us😊

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

I love your enthusiasm, Cathy! The knitting community is such a hopeful and inviting place!

[@debbieraby]

Love your first episode - hello from Portland, OR! I am Marin County native but now settled in PDX. Thanks for mentioning Starlight! I hope you enjoyed our Rose City Yarn Crawl. Starlight is always one of our favorite stops.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Hi Debbie! I had such an amazing experience in Portland this past weekend, and did QUITE a bit of damage at the La Bien Aimee trunk show at Starlight. Full report coming!

[@solangethompson4251]

I really enjoyed this. Well done. Looking forward to your next one. 😊

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you! Episode two is filmed and I hope to post this weekend!

[@orose4721]

This is making my want to knit!!!!! Also want to talk more about sweater yolks 😏

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

😂 you are so inspiring, thanks for all the support and ❤️

[@julieknitsandspins]

Great first episode! Would love to see the full sweaters, maybe a way to have them show full length. Excited to see the pretties you show next time 🤗. Congrats! From Southern California 😉

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Julie! I will absolutely try to show full garments, great suggestion. Off to figure it out!!

[@pasquan]

Knitters from Southern California! Rare birds it seems...

[@shannonoliver5414]

That was such a wonderful podcast. You are knitting so many things. It was so interesting that you mentioned putting oneself out there and letting people be who they are as i am not a social person at all, and particularly since Covid but i have been watching KZbin knitting and crochet podcasts for a few years now and i wanted to meet other fiber crafters so i started up a knitting/crochet group at my local library and we meet once a week on Sunday for the last 3 weeks. I love it and i am so happy that i did it. 😊

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

That is so inspiring to hear, Shannon! Big congratulations on starting the group and creating community. Thanks for your interest and support! 🤗

[@DLG728]

Great first podcast! You have so much to share. I absolutely loved the napping sweater you made for your husband.😀. The yarns with all the incredible color ways are beautiful.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Diane, thank you so much for your kind words! I have some profess to share and am filing this week! He does love that napping sweater 😆

[@carolbulmer8253]

Congratulations on your first episode! I look forward to seeing more episodes😊 I like all your knitted garments.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much, Carol! I just pushed publish on Episode 2, and SO appreciate your support :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyYdpesr7uLa80

[@karimertz1540]

Enjoying your podcast! I just split for the sleeves on my Metamorphic. Another fun knit is the Inclinations Shawl by Andrea Mowry.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank Kari! I’m right behind you on the Metaphoric, you can check it out in episode 2!

[@Thaosgarden]

Hello from San Jose CA. I enjoy your podcast a lot. So glad to find a local podcaster, I watch lots of podcasters from Europe. Congrats on the 1st episode. Keep it going.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thao! Thank you so much, I love repping our West Coast yarnies!

[@Kpup]

Your Gr8 Gingham hat is so cute! I loooove that color combo.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks so much, Kristy! I’m ready debating if I should cast on that sweater or the Metamorphic first. . . 🤔

[@Kpup]

@@Lily_curatorial_knits I'm truly obsessed with the Gr8 Gingham sweater. I can't stop looking at it, and it seems like such a fun challenge

[@rosettehf]

Hi Lily! So nice to view a podcaster so nearby. (I'm in Walnut Creek =)). I love your projects and you inspire me. Looking forward to your next one!!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support :) I was SUPER nervous, and glad to hear you enjoyed it. I'm excited to share what I'm up to next!

[@jennlewis1639]

Beautiful job on your first episode 👏 your knits are so beautiful. I look forward to seeing more of your knits come to life. I hope you enjoyed yourself at the Rose City Yarn Crawl. I live in Estacada Oregon about 45 minutes from Portland. I'm out in the woods near Mt Hood. I didn't get to go to the Crawl this year but maybe next year. Breathe and knit happily 😊 Jenn Lewis

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Jenn! Oregon was beautiful and I love the knitting community there-so welcoming 🤗

[@LeiMaier]

Hello from the mitten state! Im so happy you braved through your first podcast - what a delight. Looking forward to seeing more of your podcasts. Wish I could go to the Portland yarn crawl but Michigan is just too far away!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

I love the Mitten State! So glad you are watching and I am planning a special report back from the Rose City Yarn Crawl!

[@lynnk3321]

Hi Lily! Fun episode with so much lovely yarn and beautiful projects…we are nearly neighbors as I live I Alameda 😍 can’t wait to hear about the Rose City Crawl…I visited many of the shops back in 2018 so much fun and Starlight is amazing…Ritual Dyes is on my list next time I’m up that way.. enjoy and it would be awesome to have your mom to do a guest appearance on your KZbin channel ❣️

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Lynn! Loving the NorCal knitting strength. I love Ritual Dyes too and I’m so excited to get up there and squish their new lily release Sprite base! And I will absolutely be campaigning for my mom to make an appearance! Thank so much for the support and love to hear what you’re working on these days too! 🙏🤗💕

[@annelancaster8738]

Love your podcast. Your yarn color selections are gorgeous!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Anne, that is so kind of you to say! It is one of my favorite parts of the creative process! I cannot wait to share some new color gems I just plundered up in Portland! 😉

[@MrMonet111]

Enjoyed your first podcast! Like the idea of using a hat to work out gauge etc. currently I knit my poodle a sweater to workout gauge . Looking forward to your next podcast.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

The hat has indeed worked great as a swatch! It also convinced me to switch up my contrast color for something a bit more subdued, will update on episode 2!

[@annetaylor1095]

Nap sweaters are the best!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Yes! 🙌

[@cm1799]

Lily, I absolutely loved this podcast. Your knits are beautiful and so are you. Lots of love from Germany!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks a million! I love sharing with you all.

[@marilynvanzyl1891]

Enjoyed your first podcast! Your shifty is beautiful.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks so much, Marilyn! It’s such a fun pattern, about to cast on Metamorphic and think it may have a similar vibe.

[@suemcevoy5510]

Well done on your first video! Your sweaters are gorgeous!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Sue! I’m excited about episode 2!

[@helenhenry6218]

I knit the Watkins also, love it but I had to adjust the sleeve length. Yours look great!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks so much, my husband is wearing his right now! 🤗

[@libellula3313]

Thanks for so much information. I am fascinated by the gingham pattern.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

The sweater pattern is now available as well! Thanks for your support and will have updates soon!

[@lindenknits]

Hi, Lily! I don't know if you remember me but we were neighbors when we were tiny. I saw you post about this on FB and just had to check it out. I also experienced a knitting rennaisance in 2020. Your work is beautiful! I am excited to follow along. Maybe I will run into you at the Rose City Yarn Crawl - I live in Beaverton now!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Hi! I absolutely remember you and I’m so happy to hear from you, Lindsey! Let’s stay in touch and love to see you in Portland!

[@jennymiles4426]

Gorgeous knits - you certainly have a 'type' when it comes to colour (ahem turquoise..) though I find myself that I go through colour phases. Loving my Gr8 raglan sweater, it is addictive. Question - how did you find split splicing the Spincycle scraps? I'm always micromanaging my Spincycle so have lots of ends and I always try to split splice but don't have that much success with the Superwashed Spincycle. Any tips?

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Haha, absolutely, Jenny! I love the blue/green family, so fun to pair with navy and pops of pink 🥰. I simply spit splice my Spincycle yarns. The two ply is definitely toothy enough for me, and it never feels slippery. Hope that helps 🤗

[@missedwinamae]

I love your channel and I haven't even watched the whole thing yet. I can tell you are going to be successful! I'm excited to see you grow from 619 subscribers today March 3, 2022 Lets see you grow!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Edwina! Thank you so much for your kind words and support, I love your confidence ☺️ Episode two is in edit now!

[@mila7807]

Dear Lily, thank you for giving out your uniqueness to the world 💖 I enjoyed your podcast and would love to see your beautiful finished object on you, wearing/trying them on. Your Shifty is stunning, love the colours! Please come back soon. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭 Mila

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Mika! I’m working on episode 2 and so excited to share with you! 💖

Thank you, Alison! So appreciate your support 🤗

[@anitabechtel5180]

Loved all your knits and yarns. I have been in seattle for last 11 years. used to live in CA. Would love to take you to my LYS Tolt. You would love it.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Anita! Just looked at Tolt and I am swooooning, how lucky it is your LYS!

[@FoxgloveSaysNo]

Great first episode!

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

[@isabelsavala6409]

Small world I’m from Oxnard, Ca towns away from Ojai. I love your podcast. Inspiring. I want to learn to knit but don’t know anyone to teach me so, I’ve been seeing various videos to help me get motivated to begin. It’s so intimidating but you and others make it so simple. Hope you keep this platform. Congratulations!!!

[@regancoker3805]

lovely knitting

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Regan! I love sharing with you all!

[@ChristieArcher]

Hello Lily. I’m so glad to have stumbled upon your podcast. I also live in California (Palm Desert) and it’s always fun for me to meet other Cali knitters. Your projects are lovely and I love the thought that you put into each project. If you’re looking for another knitting podcast to watch I invite you to check mine out. I would love to have you visit with me. Off to watch your others episodes. HUGS 🤗

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you for your kind words, Christie! I will definitely take a watch!

[@sallyidso182]

I m not certain you notice we are looking at you on the left and you lean to your .right and hold your work right which is out of the frame . You might consider sitting more center. Loved the sweater you made your husband but you never showed us.

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thank you, Sally! Yes, I did cut off some of the garments and episode 2 will have full images inserted of all the FOs. Thanks for your feedback for this first timer :)

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Hi Sally! I just published my second episode and did some experimenting with the cut aways and pictures, would love to know if it's helpful and appreciate any and all advice! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyYdpesr7uLa80

[@dianematchett5755]

Enjoyed your first podcast but found your constant use of the phrase “um” very distracting

[@Lily_curatorial_knits]

Thanks for your feedback, Diane! I hope I’ve gotten better about the “ums!” Check out my latest here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5Kcfnx5lqiap7M
