Hi Karin! I enjoyed your show again. I was the one admiring your Woolee Winder at the Des Moines' Knit In. (If you will remember). Anyway, I recently got one for my Lendrum, and love it! Your recommendation (bundled with many others) helped make my decision. Anyway - just wanted to drop a note to say thanks....and that I really enjoy your vidoecasts. See you next week.
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Suede Shoes spun up beautifully. I love all blues, and that is so pretty. Ditto on the Noro Kureyon, I got a splinter the last time I knit with it 8-{
ReplyDeleteI so agree! I'm over Noro and being wooed by Mini Mochi. I cringed a little when you showed us the blanket kit because I hate fiddly. There are a few other great, simple blankets on Ravelry if you go to the Moderne and hit the experiment button.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reinforcing that we must enjoy the knitting as well as the product.
I also nodding my head in agreement! I love the colors of Noro, but I draw the line at Kureyon! Also, glad you are going rouge on the blanket, I was not a fan of the pattern. Have you thought about doing a log cabin? That way it's something new and different from the modern baby blanket.
ReplyDeleteLove the spinning! I am working toward a 3 ply fingering weight.
Your Blue Suede Shoes = GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should take some photos of your stash room so that after the makeover you can show off "before" and "after" pictures. Although, you know we wouldn't judge you if you showed it to us now! :-)
