Episode 5 show notes

Recording Episode 5 did not go as smoothly as previous episodes. Birds, wind chimes, and at one point there is a short humming/buzzing in the background as the ice-maker kicked in on my frig. So bear with us. Each episode we learn a little bit about the sound and the quality and we do strive to deliver the best audio we can.

In this episode, we discuss the following:

Whisper Cardigan by Hannah Fettig
Gayle's Whisper
Madelinetosh Vintage yarn
Jenica Hoodie by Joji Locatelli
Pole by Joji Locatelli
Émilien by Ariane Caron-Lacoste
Still Light Tunic by Veera Valimaki
Fuse by Veronik Avery
Sharlene's Fuse
Ishbel Shawl by Ysolda Teague
Windhelm by tshep
Slouchy Bubbles by tshep
Textile Garden online shop

We decided to give you a few highlights from our day at Stitches West!
Lo-Lo bars
Western Sky Knits
Nifty Thrifty Dry Goods

  2. I'm a dance teacher and I can see myself in the studio in the simple flats... I think I need lots of different pairs to match all of my dance gear!

  5. Can't wait to listen to this episode. There are four projects in Leaves I would knit: the Leaf Relief Cowl, Tulipan, Wave or Particle and simple flats. Thanks for mentioning it and for a great podcast as well.

  6. I love all of Michelle's patterns and would probably knit all of the patterns at some point in time. The simple flats would be great for around the house! But my first project would be shawl in bloom because I like the warmth that shawls add without being heavy.

  7. This morning, I awoke with one goal: to finish the second of my Garter Stitch Baby Kimono by Jojo Locatelli. In doing so, I thought, "Here's perfect opportunity to listen to ALL of the Yarniacs' podcasts, since I haven't listened to nary a one YET!"
    And so I did! Love it ladies! Well done!
    And since you're offering this contest, well, as you know, I love shawls, love to "fave" them, love to "queue" them but don't wear 'em. That being said, I'd choose the Golden Leaf Shawl and wear it as a neck wrap :-)

  9. I love your show notes because I follow them while listening. It helps me so much. Since you mentioned your contest, I'm choosing Shawl in Bloom as my favorite pattern in Michelle's collection. I went to Stitches West too and would like to return next year. It is so overwhelming the first time.

  11. I'd love to knit the Perennial Top Down Silk Beret. It looks so chic! Thanks for the giveaway. I love listening to your podcast and eagerly wait for the new episodes.

  12. I think I'd start with the Leaf Relief Cowl, but I seriously want to knit every pattern in her book! There's just something about knitting leaves (I love them) and Michelle has created beautiful patterns using them!

  13. Love the podcast.
    I looked at the "Leaves" patterns, and I love the "Wave or Particle Shawl" it is really unique.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I haven't found a podcast I enjoyed yet, but this might be just the one for me. I'll have to download your show and listen when I get home! (can't hear audio at work :( )

    As far as the Leaves book, I'd really like to do the Shawl in Bloom or Golden Leaves, but they are all so pretty! I love Michelle's patterns. :)

  15. I love listening to this podcast while I'm working. I use my break to queue half the patterns that were discussed. I didn't even notice the bird talking so no worries. I would like to knit the Shawl in Bloom.

  16. The golden leaf shawl is very nice.
    Thanks for the great podcast.

  18. Love the podcast! I love all the patterns from the Leaves book, but I think I'd knit the wave or particle shawl first. It appeals to my geeky side :) I love the black version in the pattern page on ravelry, very pretty!

  19. The Tuipan Shawl is calling my name!

  20. Great job on the podcast so far. Keep up the good work!

  21. Loved this episode—your podcast has quickly become one of my favorites.

    All of Michelle's patterns are wonderful, and I suspect that I would knit almost all of them, but my favorite is Shawl in Bloom.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love the concept of the Leaves book! I've got so many single skeins of sock yarn and I don't get very many chances to wear socks here in south FL, so I'm always looking for cute sock yarn patterns other than socks. I like all the patterns in the Leaves book, but my favorites are the Golden Leaves Shawl and the Shawl in Bloom. I'd definitely knit both of these.

  23. I like the pattern Shawl in Bloom in the Leaves cardigan. Thanks for your ideas!

  28. I looooove the Wave or Particle shawl, and I have the perfect sparkly yarn for it....

    BTW thanks for a lovely podcast, I listened to all 5 episodes in the last 2 days!

  29. The Golden Leaf Shawl is beautiful, but I also like the Wave or Particle Shawl. And I've been thinking about trying to make some ballet flat slippers, so Simple Flats would be perfect.
    Thanks for the opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think the Particle Shawl is my choice. There is even some Mal sock in my stash that would be perfect :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm a new knitter - I might be able to do the flats... not sure what perennial is - thinking a tam - bet that could be manageable for me as well.

    BTW, thanks for sharing your Stitches impressions. Attending one is on my to do list and it's nice to hear what others enjoy about them.
