That bright orange/lilac gingham fabric! Love it for summer. Just the simplicity of pattern and HELLO pockets.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I love it! Thank you

[@awhippersnapper]

I’m so inspired by all your projects! We have very similar styles and I just want to make all the things but need more hours in the day! 😅 And I love your videos! I knit and watch and the combination of chatting and music is just so enjoyable. Thanks for all you share with us! 💛

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much ❤

[@kellyb739]

You are such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing all your projects with us. Love your me made outfits!!! ❤️🇨🇦

[@galeannvandevoort6748]

I’m loving all of your projects & color choices. Please give yourself grace. Loss of a loved one is a huge trauma that takes time and energy. And as a mom you are not only dealing with your own grief you are also feeling it for your husband and children. One recommendation…I also have bad hand and wrist pain from an autoimmune condition, I started wearing Grace & Able compression gloves sometimes while knitting but definitely after a knitting session. They help me immensely in addition to the PT exercises.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I wear the compression gloves while spinning! But I haven’t been wearing them while knitting

[@StefanieLondon]

What a fun episode as always! I thought I would shed some light on the audiobook thing. It's very likely the narrator is from the US. I'm an author (and knitter!), and it can be so had to find narrators native to the place where the book is written who are available at the time the audiobook is being created, and the bulk of the narrators are US speakers, then followed by British speakers. Trying to find someone from Australia, NZ and even Canada can be tough as they get snapped up quickly and book out very far in advance. The "toque" thing really threw me when I first moved to Canada. In Australia, where I'm from, we call those knitted hats "beanies " :)

[@lfinn6125]

Just beautiful cinematography of Arkansas. Wish I were there…

[@YoungfolkKnits]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@karenalbery2773]

How can you get so much knitting done??? You have kids and family and farm and pets and filming..... I only have half that list and if I had a knitting podcast I would have one sweater, one hat and a pair of socks for a whole year

[@lyndseywilliams3618]

You’re not alone

[@meepiecrafts7799]

It is not a game, it is a hobby and she knits maybe every free 10 min a few rows

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I usually do a lot of knitting while I’m multitasking ❤

[@user-wf4hy2fu1m]

Good organization is the key

[@skyartsmanagement]

You choose very pretty knits and yarns. Someday I would love to see what you do with all your odds'n'ends of left over yarn.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Me too! Haha 😆 Right now they are all in a basket waiting to be used in something scrappy

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Lovely knits and I have enjoyed watching your me made May posts. I live about an hour away from the Caribou in the Thompson region of BC 🇨🇦. Yes, we definitely pronounce togue “ two-k”, the French Canadian way. I look forward to your reviews on the summer yarns. 💜

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I looked it up and the narrator is from NY

[@ErinAnton]

Canadian here (from Ontario). We pronounce toque like you said. The pronunciation that the audiobook narrator is using (toke) is the word for smoking marijuana lol

[@YoungfolkKnits]

😂😂😂

[@janlizKnit5968]

Lion Brand Yarn in the US has the exact cotton, bamboo, linen yarn as the Hobbii Seashell yarn. It goes on sale pretty often too.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Ooo I’ll have to look that up!

[@the_busy_beaver_brooke]

The staple tee by new wave knitting... A Kal is just starting 😋

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks!!

[@AHandKnitLetter]

I love all your summer makes!! ❤

[@woolnwords]

That purple yarn is so fun! I’ve been loving purples this spring/summer.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Me too!!

[@judithhirschhorn7249]

Your Book Club cardigan is gorgeous! I love the color you chose.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you ❤

[@holliegiampietro7030]

TU for another interesting video ❤❤❤

[@myndolin]

Absolutely love that green color and the tank. I can't wait to make it myself. Have you ever tried Everand (previously Scribd) for audiobooks? The membership is $11.99 a month. You don't get credits, and you don't get a book to own, but you have access to an unlimited number of audiobooks every month, and they have an amazing selection. I do have Audible for when I desperately want a new release the minute it comes out, but if you're willing to wait 30 days, Everand gets a LOT of the newer releases eventually. And they usually have some sort of free trial membership, for like 30 days or something? I don't have any affiliation with them. I just absolutely love them. My wishlist is about 100 years deep and growing. I never have to feel rushed to finish a book because you have access as long as you have a membership, and I can have multiple books going at once. I don't tend to listen to a book more than once, so owning them doesn't tend to matter to me. Something worth trying if you haven't already. :)

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Oooo I will look it up!

[@fazzybear3]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your father-in-law. 💙 I loved The First Lie Wins, but I did see the twist coming- I think I've read to many mysteries over the years. 🤣

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Same! I lots hard to surprise me haha

[@UVEyal]

the purple yarn is so cute! Im working on my skyline tee and i think itll look beautiful in that yarn

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I love that pattern! ❤

[@EdenYell]

In the Arkansas Digital Library Consortium in Libby, I'm currently in line for Funny Story by Emily Henry with 290 other people. Only 94 other people for Dune though.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I’ll have to look up funny story

Yayaya go Fleece Force!

[@anne-kathrinhess5470]

Wonderful podcast! I would recommend the Tolsta Tank which will be released next friday.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yesss! Such a great pattern!

[@M00NR1DER_]

I just started the Mount Pleasant Tee by Pip and Pin to wear over a few of my summer dresses. Also, I agree that Arkansas is still hot into October. It's like we get November for fall and that's it! Lol

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That pattern is beautiful ❤

[@Larissa-gw3oc]

I love your book reccomendations! I just finished The Frozen River, and it's now one of my favorites

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I'm so glad!

[@leaherickson6070]

A great podcast, a little bit of everything. Summer is such a great season; it comes and goes around me in a few months. Finding summer knitting patterns to knit and wear is very fun. Summer colors are some of my favorites. Your custom yarn is beautiful, I liked seeing around your farm, the flowers and bees, very pretty. With anything we do often we find it easier, and we get better. Comparing my early knits, sewing or even cooking, I am much better at it now and even enjoy wearing what I make. All the best to you and your family. Thank you for a great episode.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you ❤❤❤

[@woolaroundtheworld]

Hey. I recently made the Adriata tank by joji locatelli in a similar color and loved it. Have a great weekend

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That’s a gorgeous pattern

[@jenniferhackett4115]

Loved the musical interlude 💙

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you ❤

[@sunnyw4148]

Such cute clothes you are making. The skirt you want to make would go great with the gingham top you are wearing (unless my computer screen is off). Your garden looks great. Harvest a big batch of fava beans right now.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That sounds great!

[@mongrain8934]

You are right for the hat: in Canada we spell it "tuque". 🙂 ❤❤❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

The narrator is from NY I had to look it up haha

[@katheard262]

Always good! Thx 💜

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you too!

[@caitlin68285]

I was born in Rogers AK. I hope you and yours were miles from that tornado that just went through there

[@VivianneLaBanane]

About toque... Here in Québec, Canada, we call all woolen winter hat a "tuque" like you said. In french, a toque is a specific kind of hat, with a cylinder form, like a chef hat or those old fur hat, and it is pronounced like you heard in your audiobook. I don't know if it is the same in english though...

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I think it’s a narrator from the States!

[@anitaferguson814]

I’m currently working on the Margaux top and think it would be a great one to use your lilac yarn. Also just finished A Frozen River audiobook and Loved it!!!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I will look that pattern up!

[@bernicefischels6621]

Beautiful podcast, Kaci! Thank you!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Your projects look great. I can't wait to see your finished Outline Tee! 🧶

[@roxannetarjan1411]

Great episode! Your images of your “me made may” are amazing and showcase how beautiful and distinctive your wardrobe and style vibe is! Enjoy. Happy Knitting!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks!

[@donnarasor5662]

I recommend the Violet Tee by Jessica McDonald. It would look lovely in your yarn.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That’s a beautiful pattern!

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Swansea, Illinois.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Hello!

[@amberw4835]

Oh my the video and song were beautiful too! Love all the knits and the sewing of course too.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!

[@addy5335]

Such a beautiful place you live.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you!

[@leighhuggins5030]

That green test knit is gorgeous! I'd love to see it in a pure silk, too.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Me too!!

[@ginawiggins3803]

If you like First Lie Wins consider reading The Lying Woods by the same author. I really enjoyed that one as well.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Will do! Thank you

[@segofibers]

Thinking about your beautiful new summer top yarn... I'm currently working on Adventitious by Olga Putano and am really loving it. :) It's a great mix of intuitive lace and breezy stockinette. ❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Sounds great! It’s a beautiful pattern

[@opencirclestitches]

So many bright colors! Looking forward to seeing you style them all

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yay, thank you!

[@hannahammarsten2962]

Lovely episode! I get really inspired bye all your projects, I think I need to start a few more to have more to choose from. And congratulations to 5k!!! That yarn looks lovely ❤

[@LifeasMrsCooks]

So many cute projects going on. I love it! Crescendo top or the Sister peplum would be cute summer tees. You could never go wrong with the Ranunculus

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Great idea!!

[@EvieO1950]

Thanks for the cozy mystery recommendation. Those are my favorite. My favorite author is Betty Hechtman who writes crochet cozy mysteries. Great characters! 📚📖📚

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@oliviataylor6563]

The brief intermission and song was so soothing and beautiful. Just what I needed today. Thank you. ❤ All projects are beautiful too. 😊

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much!

[@debrasusan73]

Ooooh! I love the green test knit that you're doing. The tank with the boat neck! Oooh! Thanks for another lovely episode! Love when I see a notification that you've done another video! The outfits you've sewn are also adorable! Love! 😍

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you! 😊

[@theknittystew]

Kaci I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this! You inspire me to try and create wardrobe pieces/outfits that I will love. Maybe one day I will even force myself to sew my own garments. The footage you included of your property and the area took my breath away. I need to visit Arkansas. For the ZeeZee yarn in that sweet colour Paloma by Libby Jonson or maybe even the Bygone Blouse by Lydia Morrow with some orange buttons.. squeeeee! Whatever you chose will be amazing.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Those sound like some great patterns!! I will add them to list!!!

[@user-mu5sb5rb2b]

My recommendation for a summer tee would be "The Little Black Tee" by Tayler Earl of Wool Needles Hands. Is that Camilia Fiber Co yarn the same as you used in your Sailor Cardigan? Such a nice color!! Have a great week Kaci❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you! ❤

[@isobel5297]

Your book club cardigan is so gorgeous, I've bought the pattern and I'll be starting it as soon as I've finished Sari's rivendell sweater. Hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yay!!!!!

[@cyprispotts7019]

You should see what libraries in your state offer a free digital library card for Libby. I’m in Texas and the Houston public library and Harris County have digital library cards for any Texas resident. Using these library cards on Libby in combo with my actual library card means I always have a book to listen to. Each library system has different hold amounts/ check out amounts/ availability

[@YoungfolkKnits]

How do I do this!

[@cyprispotts7019]

@@YoungfolkKnits I just googled free Texas state digital library cards. Someone had already done the work for me in Texas, but you could also check major cities in your area or neighboring counties what their policy is. Once I filled out that county’s digital library card application and received the card, I went to Libby and added it! In Libby, you go to the center icon (three lines) and then under your current library card, there should be a “add library” and manage cards” area.

[@sarahs.handmakes]

Great podcast as always! I’m so sorry to hear about your father in law. I hope that everyone has been understanding about delays in test knitting and you’ve been able to take the time you need. You’ve still been very productive! I’m always amazed at how much knitting you get done. I love the way the book club cardigan is looking! It’s a beautiful pattern. And I’m planning on casting on the moon set tee by ozetta soon- it could be a great fit for your zeezee yarn.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Looooove the moon set!!!

[@chareseshinabery]

Thank you for suggesting the knitting PT! I wasn’t getting too much pain previously, but I tried a stash yarn this year that flared up my arms and drastically affected my normal making schedule. I will for sure be checking out her channel!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

You are so welcome! She’s great!

That gingham fabric is SO good I’m tempted to relearn sewing just to use/wear it. Otherwise I might try to knit a gingham sweater using similar colors!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

You should! Also a gingham sweater sounds fun!

[@sarahkelly4095]

@@YoungfolkKnits I’ve had eyes on the Gr8 Gingham Raglan by Jessie Maed for a while… and if I chicken out on the whole sweater in that color scheme I could just use her gingham hat pattern!

Thanks!

I bought one skein of Seashell yarn and then went back and bought a tee quantity in one color and several other skeins for summer shawls. I'm in Texas and we've had heat advisories for a heat index factor above 105F several times already and it's not even June yet. Yikes! I'm really looking forward to trying more linen, cotton, silk, and bamboo blends.

I’m knitting a Sonnenstunden Tee and I’m really enjoying it, it would look amazing in your purple yarn!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Great idea!

[@lorishockley3891]

That green is definitely your power color! I recently made the Brooklyn Raglan Lite tee by Tori Yu and I’m getting ready to cast on the Sonnenstuden tee by eviknitwear - either would look great made with your purple yarn. I get the hurting hands business…I even get pain all the way to my shoulders but the dopamine from the knitting fights with the pain and always wins 😂😂😂

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I love that pattern by Tori!

[@designbysewsew]

I had a lovely time sitting and knitting and watching you today! (I don't think I could sit through an audiobook that mispronounces "toque", that's hilarious and a dead giveaway that they're not Canadian!)

[@emilyvk1098]

I love libby too! Have you checked to see if your library has any partner libraries in libby? Ours does and it allows me to borrow from 5 additional library systems. I get more selection, availability, and the ability to place holds at multiple libraries at once.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

How do you do that????

[@emilyvk1098]

@@YoungfolkKnits On my library website there’s a list of partner libraries. Maybe check yours or give them a call? I don’t think it just shows up in Libby. I think you need to know which library it is and then you can add that library in Libby. Sorry, it’s been a while since I set it up. I hope you have success - I was thrilled when I discovered it!
