Knitting Sweaters & Sewing Corduroy Pants | YoungFolk Knits Podcast

[@SylviaW2022]

Your porch, swing, hubby, dog, sunset.... (just what I needed as a refreshing reminder of what really matters).

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I’m so glad it brought you some joy! 💖

[@srdailypracticeceramics]

Thank you for the great knitting suggestions and the beginner friendly cool pants. One thing when cutting corduroy always check the nap, so that it has a better sheen (light versus dark) when the light hits it. You and your husband are very sweet! Happy knitting

[@Fiber_Explorers]

The two of you on the porch, so adorable!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

He’s my person 🫶🏼

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

Love the clever rolled collar before the ribbing! Yay

[@Rusty-bg2wv]

Best knitting podcast I’ve found. Episodes are well produced capsules of knitting and crafting. And 30 minutes! It blows out of the water the podcasts that I no longer follow, the one running 1 or 2 hours and feature a lot of gabbing. Our host is likeable, confident and calm.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

You’re making my day! Thanks for the feedback 😊

[@222ouch]

The cropped pants are very cute. Puppy trying to get in the "love" at sunset on the swing time 🙂

Kaci, a little over a week ago, I was in the Ozarks working on cleaning out my brother's house; he passed away a few moths ago. It was so lovely there (and warm). He had a small farm, and seeing your videos makes me think of him. I would up bringing back his little dog, who is learning to get along with 2 border collies. She is very sweet. I enjoy seeing your fiber art adventures, and now I will always think of my older brother when I watch you.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I'm glad you were able to give your brother's dog a lovely home. My in laws raised border collies :)

[@elizabethkirtz7967]

I always enjoy your podcast, Kaci…the music, the photography, the segments (especially the one on your porch swing with your husband this time), the sewing as well as the knitting, of course! Interesting note, I live only 40 minutes from Ewe Fine Fibers where you linked the corduroy. It’s a lovely knitting and sewing shop in Charlottesville, VA! Thanks for your inspiration! 😊

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That’s awesome!!! I’d love to visit the store one day!

[@michelera6365]

What a sweet ending! Enjoyed all the things! ❤

[@SandraRoussy-dw2mc]

Good morning Kaci! ❤ your podcasts. Hope you feel better soon and sorry to hear about your autoimmune disease. Love your ongoing knitting and sewing projects. You are inspiring and keep on podcasting! Have a great day!!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@summermchalffey9346]

I love the entire outfit! The sweater, the cropped corduroy pants, the boots. Very nice ❤️

[@Anji2866]

The pomona cropped pants and sweater look is absolutely amazing on you!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks so much! I really love that look too!

[@saraw8503]

As I watch your podcast, I am knitting a sweet and simple soap sack. I ordered a kit from knit picks. It is three balls of dishcloth cotton and the pattern for a soap sack. Yep. It is gift knitting season.

[@deboraharnold8587]

The porch footage! ❤️❤️❤️ And the music! Perfection 🥰

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks!!!

[@bostonl5315]

I'm knitting Zanete Knits Freshness socks. It's my first colorwork project, and I'm loving it. You didn’t ask for this advice, but I find reading the Bible really helps me with my anxiety. Reading about God's promise for the future and how he helped his faithful servants of old to cope with their trials gives me confidence that he will guide me through mine. Just a thought, if you want recommendations on specific Bible verses that you can read in your own copy of the Bible, please let me know. I'd be happy to share. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week.

[@tacistudio]

Such a beautiful chocolate brown you chose Kaci and the pants look perfect with your sweater. I think you are right, who doesn’t have anxiety nowadays, I think it’s how we decide to deal with it that will make a difference and knitting is for me is the most calming thing I can do. Thank you for Another great episode. 🧶💗

[@sandras2479]

Gorgeous podcast, I too have a soft spot for corduroy. I am knitting the kimberly sweater (in black, wish me luck) and a Galicia cardigan for my 2 yr old from the Making Memories knitting book. It's adorable, and has pockets!

You have inspired me to try sewing again(something I last did 25 years ago!) Hope to buy myself a sewing machine for Christmas! Love all your suggestions and seeing what you have accomplished each week ❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

You can do it! There is such a lovely feel with the instant gratification from sewing

[@jenniferkath9572]

Good morning from NC. Your handmade creations are beautiful! Can’t wait to see your Apollonis pullover when you’re done. I’m knitting Tritone pullover with Istex Lettlopi. Softly -Timeless knits is truly a treasure to have.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I'm so excited to see your Tritone pullover - you're gonna love it!

[@MarshaNovak]

Also have the cream sweater urge. Just starting a Vanilla Sweater by Corrine of the Woolly Thistle using Biche et Buche le Lambswool

[@user-mp7tu7zf8r]

The cropped corduroy pants look super good on you!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I think they are my favorite thing I’ve made in a while!

[@sheryllcoulter5779]

You are such a bright time of the week. Thank you. I'm finishing my first Chanterelle Pants. They look great but I was short on fabric and will definitely make the next pair a size larger! Also knitting the Lilac and Gooseberry shawl. It is pretty but it's taking a long time. I'm determined to finish some wips so I am staying on it! Thanks, again, Kaci.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Those sound like great projects all the way around

[@jeannesimons-haeren4184]

Hallo, At this moment I'm knitting a pair of soks. I just finished a Norwegian sweater with Icelandic wool from Novita. I have not decided what I going to knit next. I love watching and listen to you while knitting. Many greetings to you and your family from Geleen,the Netherlands. Jeanne Simons

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for watching! 😄

[@helenkathrynhoover7298]

Great podcast, as always! Vera is my favorite. I have the series of books. It's amazing that Brenda Blethen is actually a pretty woman and dies a great job with Vera. Vera in the books is much more clunky and a misfit for sure, but brilliant as a detective. Enjoy!!

[@ChristieArcher]

Hi Kaci. Thank you for another fun episode. I’m loving your knitting and sewing projects. Your decision to crop the pants was fantastic for that outfit and WOW, That outfit is perfection! I’m currently knitting another December bow (I’m making about a dozen for my holiday decor), and Everyday Ribbed Hat for a gift, and a Sticks & Stones Cardigan for my mother. I’m also getting ready to sew 3 new button down blouses and a few more project bags. Plus I’m painting all of my main living area and some furniture. I can’t wait to see your Softly sweater done. I love your color choice. See you next time my friend.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Wow you are super busy - those are some amazing projects! I need some of your energy

Hi Kaci! Just for fun this morning I casted on a Christmas Stocking from Arne and Carlos!! Snow is coming here in Québec! Yééééé!!!

[@patriciamachanoff69]

Hi Casey I’ve got quite a few projects going right now. Now big project is the winter woods pullover . I’m knitting it in a woolen spun yarn. I’m also knitting a sweater for a 3 yr old, the Margerite cardigan. Also a shawl, a pair of socks and a blanket

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Wow! You are so busy! That's great!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Ooooo I’ll add it to my list

[@jilliankonig2759]

I am also addicted to corduroy. I always look forward to wearing my corduroys. I just finished a pair of mid-wale corduroy overalls with wider legs, since many of my pin-wale cords are skinny legs (which I understand are "out" now). The return of fascination with '70s fashion is funny for me. Vintage is not a word I used to think was my high school days (egads!) I have been working on Christmas gifts: Two by Two beanie, Staghorn beanie, Flax sweater, Hiedra mitts, wooly scarves. Every now and then, I return to my self-drafted colorwork sweater reminiscent of Marie Wallin sweaters, but with my own motifs. All over colorwork sleeves have proven to be more challenging to get right. I love your podcasts and travel down south with every one!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Corduroy overalls sound amazing! I actually just bought a couple of overall patterns 🧐 may need to get busy with that haha

[@peggymcthompson261]

Kaci what are your favorite sites for linen fabric?

[@jilliankonig2759]

@@YoungfolkKnits I just added panels to the front and back of a pants pattern. The front is basically a rectangle and the back is a triangle for attaching the straps tpt

Hello from France ! I love your pant ! And its colour

[@dlindsay913]

Excited to see your KZbin video pop up! A must-watch ASAP! Currently working on a baby blanket called the Butterfly Blanket. It's an easy knit and great to have in the car or anywhere you can knit without too much thought. As always you inspire with all your gorgeous projects!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I’m loving the name Butterfly Blanket - so cute!

[@katrinaeisch7444]

Hello from Germany, love your podcast and projects are looking lovely! I'm working on some basic socks while watching which is very exciting because they are my first pair using my own 3ply handspun dorset horn! Can't wait to see how well they wear being 100% wool, I usually use superwash/nylon blends for socks but wanted to try something new

[@Pam-yy3km]

Beautiful episode! I’m making the Point Edwards Mitts pattern that I found free online. The yarn I’m using is some wooly scraps. I love this pattern because it has a beautiful thumb gusset construction and calls for a “cuff” on the fingers and thumb so that you can unfold it to cover your fingers and thumb. It’s a fun and simple pattern. Thank you for such beautiful episodes. Your MeMade outfits are all so cute!!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That's awesome! I love finding free patterns.

[@victoriacutler3612]

Hi Kaci. Love this chocolate brown Pomonas! That Camellia Fiber Company yarn looks so soft and heavenly. Will have to try it. Like you I am in a Place (Phoenix) that doesn’t get a lot of cold so really trying to find alternatives to the wooly wools that I love so much. I still knit with them but the amount of time I can wear them is very limited.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

It is so hard to find those wools that work in warmer climates! We obviously need to move to a Nordic country 🤣

[@anna-gewecke]

Peace to you, Kaci! I'm knitting "Big Love" by Ankestrick using Nori Madara- inspired by you! This is one of my favorite patterns - I've knit it 4 times now! And this yarn is so yummy. Thanks for the book recommendations. My favorite author is Susanna Gregory, who writes really interesting historical mysteries. They're not too creepy, and the characters are fun, and you learn a bit of history along the way.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I will look up this author! Thank you!

[@ourdailyyarn]

Hormones and anxiety... I can relate for sure! Hang in there :) I'm working on the tailwind shawl out of some hand dyed yarn I've had in stash forever. It's actually my first shawl and it's definitely a good project to pick up and put down whenever.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That's a great choice - shawls are so satisfying!

[@thebotanicalknitter]

I made a pair of corduroy Pomonas for Rhinebeck and love them! For whatever reason, I had thought corduroy would be difficult to sew with…nope! Alisha has recommended the Chanterelle to me before, so maybe this is my sign to make a cord pair 😊

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Corduroy is so fun to sew with! It doesn’t move at all haha! I’m off to have a peek at your pants now 👀

[@KariEngblom-Youkey]

Always enjoy your videos very much❤ but this one was just perfectly what I needed this week😊. I have never sewn a garment, i went through a quilting/fiber art collage phase, but then just back to mostly spinning and knitting. I just realized you are very similar in sizing to me, and that would explain why i enjoy the knits you choose and your input about knitting them so much! However, this episode has inspired me to get the sewing machine out and make those pants! I absolutely love them on you...and you have convinced I might actually be able to come out with a project i will enjoy on me and wear 😉. Thanks for another wonderful video that left me feeling peaceful and inspired❤.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I hope you love them! Keep me updated!!!

Thanks for asking, Kaci! I am finishing up the 2nd sleeve of my Flea Sweater. I made it in some fun christmasy colors and I'm thrilled to get to wear it throughout December! I'm also about halfway through the body of my Date Night Sweater (made in a vibrant red just like the sample in the pattern pictures). On Ravelry I'm calling it my HoliDate sweater and hope to wear it on several "dates" with my hubby this winter as well. Niknaiman on Ravelry if you want to come see my projects!
