What MAKES a Good Knitter? New in the shop: yarns, kits and bags.

[@timeflies54fast48]

I had to comment. I am watching older videos trying to catch up. I am knitting the Flax sweater and noticed I purled a row on the sleeve/shoulder where I should have knit, 3 rows down. I was using a regular crochet hook to go down the 3 rows and correct the garter stitch when you talked about the fix-a-stitch crochet hook. Thank you! I have a couple sizes of that hook and reached over to my dish that had my fix-a-stitch hook. It goes so much quicker!

Hi Nancy, great tips this week. Love the scarf kits! Making the "Moon Set Tee" in a brown raw silk and really enjoying this pattern. Great summer knit!

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Sounds like a beautiful choice of yarn. Have fun!

Hi Nancy, love seeing you pop up on my queue. I recently had a terrific lesson from Kathryn, by way of Beth. She helped me overcome my fear of short rows. You have an amazing staff. I'm working on a berocco

Hi Nancy from Nancy in New Jersey. Right now I’m knitting thick, quick winter mittens for my niece and nephews as Christmas gifts.

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Great idea to get a jump on holiday knitting.

Tank and a couple of crocheted baby blankets. Socks are on needles too. I'm writing from Arlington, Ma.

[@juliamorrisey5541]

Great point about the importance of confidence. I really want the Drawing Sweater but the footwork was holding me back. I decided to pull out a couple of single skeins I have and knit a 'sample' of part of the yoke. It is really small, on purpose, but it has been a great way for me to learn about yarn management, managing longer floats and tension. Now my challenge will be the yarn. I am really sensitive to more rustic, non-superwash wools. I need to find something grippy enough for the colorwork that I will be comfortable wearing.

Peggy Vermont. Socks on the go and a Ruan at home. After a you tube video I figured out where I went wrong. I would like to learn how to do a short row heal

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Good idea. More tutorials coming.

Hello, I live in Charlotte, NC. But five years ago, I lived in Hyde Park, Ma and visited your shop several times. You carry lovely yearn. I am currently making two Flax sweaters. I seem to be stuck on this pattern and I plan to make several more.

Hi. I’m from Alberta, Canada. I’m knitting Sommerknus by Elsebeth Judith in mauve.

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Nancy just got back from a vacation to the Canadian Rockies. She was inspired by the beauty (and trips to local yarn shops). Watch this weeks video for details.

I am from Wisconsin. I am working on the Harry Styles cardigan.

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

That's wonderful. Hope it goes well.

[@ButtonedUpKnits]

Terrific video... I knitted a baby sweater in Uptown yarn. (pink sand colorway) What impressed me most was the "feel" of the yarn. The baby pattern had a peplum pleat on the bottom. I have never done that. From 100 stitches to 300 stitches.

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

Very impressive!

[@suemiles1564]

Hi 👋 Sue from New Zealand. I am knitting a sweater from Penrose Knits - a Petite Soufflé for my granddaughter that will be born in December. Love your podcast/vlog.

Thanks you!

[@carmeslynn]

Love your episodes, you provide so much helpful information! I love all the yarn info your share each week. How many years have you been knitting? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!! I'm working on socks right now, circular 9" method. Nothing fancy, vanilla socks from Crazy Sock Lady. Purple and white yarn, it is quite attractive. You have added to my knitting joy! Best, Carrie from the Northern San Francisco Bay Area.

Hi Nancy, I'm south of you... from the US but currently spend a good part of the year on the beaches of the yucatan state in Mexico. Still North America but south of the boarder :) Its very warm here all year. I knit summer garments in very light fingering or lace plant fibers primarily. right now im knitting a cardigan. free pattern on ravelry. plan is to add a hood. :)

[@emmipaez4898]

@@jeffersonmorant it’s lovely here warm of course but not as warm as it was a few months ago and likely not as bad as it has been in the US according to the weather reports. Thanks sooo much for the podcast. Cardigan is almost done. Mostly self drafted and yes with a hood. I’m proud of having been able to figure that out.

[@Diana-mn1fe]

Hi Nancy, I’m from Attleboro Ma. I’m not far from you and would like to visit your shop soon. Will the commuter train get me close enough to your shop to walk from there? I I drive but a train ride would be fun. I’m working on my Rhinebeck sweater, which is Stratified from the worsted book. I’m using Barroco Lana for the yarn. It makes a nice affordable sweater.

[@blacksheepknitting7905]

I think so yes. There is a Needham Centre stop.
