Knitting Traditions Podcast Ep.22-cabin knitting

[Music] hello and welcome to episode 22 of knitting traditions podcast my name is inga and you can find me on ravelry as knitting tradition and on instagram as knitting traditions so this is a podcast vlog cast mainly about knitting and if you're a returning viewer thank you so much for coming back i can't believe the community that i have been accepted into around this podcast and i'm just really lucky to be a part of it and i hope you're doing well and if you're a new viewer hello i hope that you will enjoy the content today this is a new setup i am on my very early uh summer holiday it's coming to an end and i am at my cabin which is 820 meters above sea level and i have spent my summer holiday lighting the fireplace wearing wool being really cold um but today and yesterday was really nice and warm and by nice and warm i mean 17 celsius which of course i'm sweating and tanning outside in the sun just enjoying the nice weather but i really wanted to record an episode for you guys so let's get into knitting and then at the end we can have a little sit in it with me section and um i can tell you all about what i've been up to for the last three weeks up here because it's been three weeks which is uh quite a long time between episodes for me so grab yourself something to drink i'm enjoying some homemade iced tea because it's really warm for me to be wearing wool um yes what i'm wearing this is a pattern by pickles which is called i believe la bonita i knit this one or two years ago and i'll see if i can stand up to show you so it has this really big um top part and then underneath it's like a tank top kind of cropped um so you could wear it up on the shoulders like so or like i like how i like to wear it off shoulders like this it's it's knitting wool i believe the pattern might have two yarn options um pickles is a store in oslo in norway they have their own yarns and their own patterns and if you haven't looked them up you should look them up they have stunning modern knitwear designs that look almost like something you would buy in the store today except it's knitted so it's even better you knit it yourself and this top is knitted in this yarn uh pickles merino tweed which i think is exactly the same as soft donegal i bought um some soft donegal by uh well when i was in lisbon at the retrosaria pomar store those come in 50 gram balls this is a hundred gram and this stunning is it's a gorgeous color they have these tweed little tweed aspects to the yarn and um they have the exact same feeling uh look and meet rich so i think it might be the same mill that produces the two yarns but i don't know uh so this is the third piece that i have made in this yarn um i also made a t-shirt by pickles and a dress and i cast on something new which i will show you in a bit but this is a nice top to wear when it's sunny but it's still not super warm because then you stay warm but you could still get a little vitamin d which is nice oh i'm sorry if i look shiny i am really warm wearing this wool right now because it's not cold the sun has been shining all day so i have some finished objects to show you guys um let's see maybe first i i finished the cabin socks and of course i don't have the sock blockers with me um but yes so i'll maybe i can show you one um so this is a um regia tweed yarn six ply and um i think i used just a little bit more than half the ball for these pair of socks and it's a lovely tweety yarn if you can see the little tweed flecks in here so this is a something i just um knit on my nine inch circulars which are my preferred way of knitting socks and sleeves and anything with a small circumference so i cast on i think 60 stitches on a three millimeter and then i knit um three by one ribbing all the way down to the heel i made the heel the way my grandmother taught me which you can find in the moors hail pattern and also the rustic cable socks pattern of mine on ravelry i'll put links to everything below i did some extra stitches in this one to make it really nice and big um because i wasn't sure when i made it if it was gonna be for me or someone else um but i ended up making it a size that would fit me uh after the heel i just did plain stockinette underneath the foot but i continued the three by one ribbing on top and i did a rounded whole toe rounded toe closure um same as in the rustic cable socks pattern but it's really simple and easy and the idea of this was that i wanted to fold it down and since it's a three by one knit three purl one when you fold it down it's the reverse so it's purl three and knit one and i thought that had a nice look to it and they are very nice and snuggly and great cabin socks when i first made it i did think that oh maybe i started the toe too soon that it was gonna be too short for my feet so the second sock i made longer but then when i tried them on because i had made the heel more roomy the one that i made longer was too loose on my foot and i don't like socks to be loose on my feet i like them to fit them so i don't feel like it's extra friction underneath rubbing on too much material so i ended up ripping back the second sock yesterday and i finished it to be the same length as the first one so it's nice and snug on the feet and they're to be lovely to have here and i think i'm going to put them in a basket for socks for people to wear or i might gift them for christmas to my mother but we shall see this is more my aesthetic than hers so i might keep these for myself and give her some other socks that i have made so since we're on socks maybe i can do the socks first and then the garments so i finished these socks these are um a pattern with an afterthought heel you can see here this pattern is a pattern that my grandmother has been knitting for all of her children and grandchildren for years and i did find out that you could get this pattern online as well she has an old paper format from a magazine but it is a pattern called russo sock um i will link it below uh i am not sure if you could buy the pattern uh without buying yarn i'm not sure um but i'll put the link below anyway and you can see it's all charted even though it's norwegian so there isn't really much instructions to go by you just follow a chart and you put some scrap yarn for where the heel goes um for the next sock i will put it even further up because my my gauge is a bit tighter than my grandmother's so where she put the heel um it became just a bit snug on my feet i mean i could still i could still wear them but i think it would it's going to be like one size too small so it might get holes in them um faster or actually if it's if it's quite well it's not bad show you my feet so it's the same underneath as on top of the sock um except the heel is a bit different so these are the socks that i'm considering maybe my mother will get these for christmas i think she would love them um i really love the color though so i do want to have these socks as well um i think i knit these on 275 or three millimeters i can't remember i'm sorry um but it's always a good idea to swatch to get the right needle size i used a yarn called cilia which is my grandmother's favorite yarn and it's a commercial yarn that you could get at a store here called sparsha and one skein of each was enough for a pair of this size the female size and then you know you just have to shift the heel for um for how long i don't think originally i thought one skein of each would be enough for a male size sorry yarn but i no longer think so because i really did not have a lot of the yellow left when i was done with these socks so um if you can't get the sock pattern there are a a lot of beautiful cell boo looking sock patterns out there and they look quite a lot like a mitten right it's the same shaping except you do an afterthought heel instead of a thumb so in my opinion these are easier than mittens but i knit a lot more socks than i do mittens and i did a two by two rib on the top i think yes a two by two rib so those were my finished socks and i finished this sweater i have not washed and blocked it yet because i'm up here at the cabin and i didn't really feel like doing it here even though i could technically figure out how to do it here this is a free pattern by espace trico it's called the cedar point sweater and it's knit top down espostrika has lots of stunning free patterns so you could check those out if you want to try something new it says to use the yarn final together with uh shibuy silk cloud i think it's it's a silkmo hair i had some phenyl and some leftover mohair yarn so i used that for the beige section here and it's a heathered beige in the phenol and then for the black section i used a new to me yarn um it's a very like blackish black not blue black but just black black yarn uh color and it's varda um varda by which is made of norwegian pathwool it's thicker than tinder which is my favorite uh yarn which is also pelt wool by hilliswog and if you see let's see if you can see it even though this is not held with mo hair it has just as much fluff and a halo as the um as the top part which has no hair held with it and i think that when i wash this up it's gonna bloom even more so it's gonna look like this has a lot more mohair halo than the actual mo hair that being said it's a really fun pattern to knit i love the look of this and i think it is a very chic looking sweater it has the same down on the sleeves and it has just a rolled um hem on the bottom a rolled hem on top and it's supposed to have a rolled hem here but i decided to do an i-cord um bind off instead i don't know why i just decided to do that and i thought it was gonna be a very chic looking um wear it all the time kind of to the city sweater however i'm a very tall person almost 180 and um it's a very oversized design it kind of um there's no shaping in the body and it kind of looks like a tent on me um the very oversized looks is not the most shape flattering on my body so it's not it's not gonna be the chic sweater that i thought it was gonna be on me um but it's gonna be a great sweater to have here at the cabin as a layering piece because it's so big i could put it um outside whatever else i am wearing see how huge this is and i did choose the size recommended for my bust size with the intended um extra ease positive ease you know what i mean it's really warm to hold this so i'm going to put this aside but yes free pattern lovely pattern enjoyed knitting it it knit up so fast and um i think it was on 5.5 needles or something i'm i used the recommended needle size for the pattern and yeah just the the shape is not the best shape for me but it's really nice and snuggly and warm and it's gonna get a lot of use here in the winter just not now in the summer i have another finished garment so this is the cropped western tea by oh it's all wrinkled up now it's been in the i put it in my basket that i got in tanzania to keep track of all my finished garments to show you guys because it's been a while this is the cropped western tea by um vitra design she's a norwegian designer and she has a lot of beautiful basic um summer top patterns uh both with straps and t-shirts and buttons no buttons she has a lot of great designs if you want to check them out and she also has them in english which is great this is the cropped western tea and it is longer in the back than in the front that's done with german short row shapings and it's knits bottom up and it has quite a wide neckline i did quite a tight bind off just because i was worried that the neckline was going to be too wide but i see now that i could have bound it off more loosely and it would still not fall off fall off my shoulders um so i might re-knit it again maybe in like a linen fabric or cotton because i do have some of that in my stash and then i might make it just a little bit less cropped it still reaches the top part of my tall yarn uh it still reaches the top part of my shorts and tall waisted jeans um but maybe if i make it just a little bit longer i can tuck it in more um just so i know that it stays where it's supposed to and i knit this in my um let's see yeah it's got my hair everywhere i knit this in my knit crate yarn from february in the color pillow and i believe the yarn was called cloud i'll put everything in the description below um i'm an affiliate member of knitcrate so they send me one of their boxes monthly to try because of shipping delays um i've had some trouble getting the yarn here so so far i've only knitted up the february yarn but i know that i have a parcel waiting for me at home so i'm really excited to show you that next time so next episode there will be some acquisition section they send you two skeins of a yarn in color each month if you sign up and i'll put a link below in the description if you're interested if you use my link i do get some money from them and i also have a discount code if you want to buy something from them that is called knitting traditions in capital letters but yes so i had those two skeins and i was wondering what i was gonna make with them um every month they give you two patterns one knitting and one crochet that comes with the yarn and this was supposed to be used for some hand warmers they went up here with some lace section but i really am more of a garment person so i really wanted to make a garment with it and i saw that this smallest size of the uh western tea was going to be perfect just perfect for the yarn that i had and i used up everything to make this i think i had like this much yarn left so i'm really happy that i managed to get a garment out of those two skeins i might repeat that in the future this is a non-superwash yarn a lot of the yarns from knitcrate are non-superwash and they also plant a tree if you sign up for the the the monthly subscription they plant a tree um every time which i think is really nice and yeah i love this t-shirt i've already worn it and my father managed to get a little bit of white paint on it if you can see it there it's not a lot he bumped into it as it was drying on my door uh but i think that will go away when i wash it again it's just a tiny bit of paint which is fine if not it'll be in a design element to it so those were my finished objects and i have some whips of course so one of the whips um you have seen before it is the wind gate shawl from the fifth 52 weeks of sock no 52 weeks of shawls by lane magazine and i think last time i had probably knit about this much or so and now i have almost used up the second ball balls of yarn you're doing you do decreases along one side and um i forgot my book at home but i think i'm just gonna continue doing the same until the end and hope that that's what the pattern intended because i think that's going to be nice and if that is so then i'm over halfway done um with the length and i'll show you the lovely yarn and let's see i'll put the designer's name here because i don't have the book and my head only has this much space i don't can't remember everything so these two uh balls of yarn is what makes this lovely fabric and the color let's see if i can get it to not blow out completely the color is called caramel and it's a yarn that unico yarns made just for me and it's this lovely golden mustardy brownie color so one of the balls is a silk mohair and the other one let's see exactly what it's made of it's 100 peruvian highland wool which is also um non-superwash so this pattern calls for a different um yarn but still silk mohair and fingering weight with the same meterage so it calls for three skeins of each which is exactly what i got from unico yarns because she generously sent it to me to try and she is lovely and she also has a podcast so you should check her out if you want to find another lovely podcaster and indie dyer so i think this is going to be just a lovely lovely shawl to have and i might have it here at the cabin because it's just so cozy and i think i'm gonna be spending a lot of time outdoors here so yeah almost coming to an end because for every row you know you have less stitches so me being over halfway lengthwise but i don't have that many stitches on each row so it's gonna go by quickly and it's just a really nice comforting knit and i'm excited to wear it i think i will have to start the third skein but i think if you were to cast on fewer stitches you could probably get by with two skeins of each but uh i will keep you updated on how much i actually have to use oh i have mo hair everywhere yeah that's delicious it's like and now i've touched the the shawl or tasmo hair so every time i try to remove the yarn that i'm eating i'm i feel like i'm just applying more yarn more fiber sorry all right and then i have two new whips to show you um maybe i can show you the smallest one first so i cast on a sweater by by fiber tails this sweater is called skull marca which is a small flower which i think is what inspired her the name or this pattern inspired that name or the other way around it's a top-down as you see sweater it has a structured yoke uh which is quite fun to knit um this lateral braid thing here that was new to me i had um never done that before so that was fun to learn and this is one skein in and i have two skeins to go of the 100 grams um marina tweed or soft donegal looking yarn and which is like a fingering weight but it varies a lot some sections are super thin so thin that i'm worried it's gonna break but it hasn't yet um i think i didn't know how to read patterns until like five or six years ago now five years ago and when i started knitting from patterns what i would do is every time i would choose a pattern that had one new technique or one new element that i hadn't tried before to kind of better myself and for a while now i haven't knitted something that had a technique or something new that i had to look up so it was really nice to learn something new from this pattern it's a beautiful design and i can't wait to have it finished i think it's gonna be a sweater that gets a lot of wear i think i don't think it has any shaping um for the body i haven't read that far into i know you're supposed to read through the whole pattern before you start but um i tend to just uh go with the flow but i think yeah it's it's gonna be a lovely thin woolen sweater um this yarn is not really that prickly it's quite soft compared to others it is a merino um but it's it's not that silky smooth merino that i often associate marinas with this is non-superwash and it also has those tweeds and it's quite an uneven spun yarn so it's it's um it's soft but not the silky soft but it's to me next to skin soft and because it's thin it's gonna be one of those sweaters i can wear all year round this yarn does bloom quite significantly if you can see here it's not really see-through at all because it fills itself out a lot it fluffs up a lot when you wash it whilst this one is quite see-through and it looks quite thin but um it won't it will be more like this after i've washed it and it is really the prickle factor is zero um on this for me but everyone is different so but yes it's a great great yarn i enjoy knitting with it a lot and um i think i've shown you the dress before it's one of those red ones that i had around christmas but i haven't shown you the t-shirt so i will show you that in um sometime in the future i don't have it here so yes excited to knit up the last two balls of this yarn so this is the mourinho tweed um 100 wool and it's 380 meters or 415 yards and the shade is sd5549 i think on their website um i think on the website they actually have names for these colors and not just cryptic uh letters and numbers but yeah you see so many lovely colors in this tweet so now that i've shown you how much one skein gives you um this is the medium size by the way uh that's what was recommended for me with positive ease because it is supposed to have a bit of positive ease not as much as the theater points so i think i will not make something with a huge amount of inches as a positive east again but a little bit of positive ease is nice so you don't feel suffocated although i also love zero e's design but yeah i'm really happy with this and looking forward to using up the last two balls of it i did bring a little bit of a yarn stash with me to have here at the cabin and that was some of that stash that i brought with me i think i bought it two years ago or something and i'm really glad i did i love the color i love the way it knits up and um yeah i'm excited for it and it's nice to knit from stash you know we are doing the stash along all of this year at this podcast and um i've already drawn one prize but i will be drawing more prizes throughout the year and the next i think i'll do at the end of summer so if you want to join uh just make something with something that you've had in your stash before 2021 it doesn't need to be knitting and post it either on instagram with the stash along or on our ravelry group and again i'll link below and yeah the end of summer there will be some lovely yarn from unico knits the same yarn that i'm knitting my shaolin just in different color and hopefully more prizes i have some i'm not sure if i'll put into the summer or maybe the fall winter giveaway but um yes there will be lovely prizes and if you're a indie dire or a maker and you want to participate donate something uh contact me because who doesn't love winning things alright so i've been here for three weeks and i've been working very long days on the cabin painting and building etc so i needed something mindless just to calm down a little bit before going to bed knitting a few rows and i had a lot of this yarn in my stash this is the petite wool what's upside down the petite wool by we are knitters and it's 100 peruvian highland wool i used this for a sweater already but i had a few skeins left and i also had this um green in my stash so uh i decided to start knitting a blanket [Music] that i could have here at the cabin kind of as a snuggly blanket but also something that could cover my bed when i'm not here so this is too big to show it's supposed to fit a 160 to 80 centimeters wide bed like here it would be a large bed i guess in the states it's not the largest um but yeah so what i did is i can show you this is how long i have made it by now and yeah it's it's quite big but uh it's not quite there yet to cover the bed i had twice as many of the green yarn as i had the pearl yarn i guess let's see if they have a color yeah this is olive and this is pearl so i had twice as many as i did this and i think i just i cast on almost 200 stitches on 10 millimeter needles just because i wanted to get a big blanket out of it and it didn't need to have a tight gauge because it's a snuggly blanket there's no wind inside so it's fine so since i had twice as many uh what i decided to just do is knit two balls of olive and then one ball of pearl and then two ball one ball and just go like that until i run out of yarn and you know because i like to torture myself i do the olive in a purl stitch which is um knit one and then purl one and then on the opposite row you change it up so that it's always knit over purl and purl over knit so half the stitches are pearl and if you've seen one of my first episodes you know i did that humongous blanket in moss stitch it's a great way to practice purling and get faster at it i'm almost almost as fast with purling as knitting but not really but it's get it's gotten better after that huge blanket but then i wanted to have a bit of garter to break it up and could be completely mindless so the pearl is done with garter so i make sure that i have 10 garter bumps um before switching to olive which means that i do have to spit splice when i'm kind of halfway across the um the last row but that goes super fast so i don't mind it it was better than having to go back and have lots of scraps left from each ball um so i'm maximizing and using up all the yarn and i think i have enough for nine stripes of green and pearl or olive and pearl and so far i have done one two three four five i've done five uh stripes so um at the join in the middle of the green i spit splice but at the ends um that's not really an option so i do have some ends to weave in at the end i make sure to always change the colors at the same side so that you don't have the purl bumps um in the color you know where you join where you change color you get these so by changing it on the same side every time i don't get that so it has one side which is the right side up and [Music] one side which is the wrong side it's not a big deal but it looks nicer so yeah it knits up quite quickly because it is 10 millimeter needles i am using these gorgeous needles um by knit pro or knitter's pride they are interchangeable and i have never gotten to use these before because i'm not really i enjoy knitting on smaller needles like these these are 3.5 carbons by knitter's pride knit pro also interchangeable um i love that most of my needles can use the same cords because it gives me a lot of options but yeah so these are wooden uh i love the colors of this it's really pretty um i don't knit with these large needles that often but i just think they are gorgeous anything wooden is gorgeous uh hence i really enjoy being at the cabin because everything is made of wood which is nice um so yeah this is my tiny little blanket that i've been working on for the past three weeks over halfway done i might not even need to use up um nine stripes of each color maybe seven or eight will be enough to cover the bed so yeah i think maybe i can knit let's do a little sit and knit section because that is all the knitting that i have been doing um it's been really long days as i said so that's why i don't have that many new whips although the blanket is gigantic so i feel like that kind of excuses me and yeah so how are you guys doing have you started your summer yet or are you just enjoying knitting while coming home from work or what's your day looking like i have been i think yeah okay so we came up here me and my father um because we we bought this cabin um together uh so we came up here and it's ready to live in it's not like something we had to do here but there were some projects that we really wanted to get done and since i had taken my summer holidays early that meant we had the time to do it now so we started with the bedrooms because there are three bedrooms here and i will try and record some footage maybe of some parts of the cabin and around and i'll put it at the end there are three bedrooms uh one of the bedrooms uh fits four people because they were like bunk beds and then two um of the others were quite narrow rooms they're like 167 170 across so it you know it fits a double bed and nothing more really so what we decided to do is um there is no storage room at the cabin and we wanted to have some some beds with a storage option underneath just so we could get some of the the winter clothes and stuff like that out of the way for me you know yarn so um we decided uh to build the beds ourselves because we couldn't really get um a bed with storage options underneath that would fit fit into the room because then we would either have to go for a bed that was only 140 wide which is it's a bit tight for my parents to share a 140 bed and the same for me and my boyfriend so we really wanted to have a bed that was 160 because that's what we could fit but also have storage underneath so we built uh floating beds so it's attached to all of the walls and um has like wooden beams across and the mattress is on top and underneath it fits like bigger plastic boxes that you can close with the lid so that gives us a lot of um opportunities to stow away things that we don't need every season and i also had to paint a bit in my room because there was an old closet here and the previous owners hadn't painted the wall underneath and behind that closet so when i took it away it was different from the rest of the room and they did they had left a little scrap or like a tiny bit of paint um left so i used that to try and match the color that was already here it's not perfect because i think this was done years ago so it's kind of faded so the corner that i did it's a little bit more gray but it's fine it's a cabin it doesn't have to be perfect and i did it myself so that leaves room for error right so we did the same in my parents room um made a bed for them and then there was like a three-person bunk bed with um like a double bed below and one above so we moved that one to the third room so now there's um five people can sleep in that so that's like our our guest room where my brothers sleep or if we have visitors we could fit like nine people here um and the bathroom also had not never been painted so it was like that kind of old uh wood panels that goes a bit yellow after a few years so um i painted that one and the roof and the door and everything that was like three days of doing that because it needed a break between the the strokes the paint strokes and we installed some new cabinets again for storage and better lighting and mirrors etc and then we painted the cabin outside because i don't think anyone had done that since it was built in the 1960s so we painted it outside and also the windows have a lot of these wooden pieces on them to like make many small squares and it used to be red and also they have not painted inside the windows so we took the windows apart and taped it all up and i painted um the inside and outside three times for every window so that was quite time consuming and also we were struggling with the weather because it was raining here so we had to run in and out and try and work around the weather and a second paint stroke outside and what else yeah we built a 80 square meter um like terrace is that what you call it porch terrace around two sides of the cabin where the sun is all day so we have a lot of outdoor space um to to be on because it's it's not the biggest cabin um actually the terrace outside is bigger than the entire cabin is inside so it's nice to have a place to be outside so me and my father built that from scratch it was a bit difficult to get the the fundaments or what you call it you have to um we had to drill into the ground to find try to find mountain that we could put these steel rods into to hold the i don't know these words i just did it uh so we had to try and find that but some some places that was possible other places there was more mold um no not mold uh dirt other places there was like small rocks and gravel so we had to do different kind of techniques all around to to make it strong and sturdy because there will be a lot of snow here in the winter and it's gonna fall off the roof so it needs to be really sturdy to hold all that sudden weight without breaking and falling down so we spent a lot of time doing that i think it turned out really great in the end i am working on making some flower beds with the scrap materials to try and use up all the scraps um and not waste anything so that is on my agenda today after finishing this podcast and yesterday i went paddling and i think i might go paddling again today we live right by a lake so it's it's really nice that this cabin is a great place to be not only in the winter with skiing because there is a cross country track right in front of the cabin but there's also the big water and there's lots of hiking trails and biking trails although i don't have a bike i hope that i will have one eventually but uh bikes are really expensive right now um i think there's a problem with steel production or some of the parts in the world because of covid and factories closing down et cetera so maybe i'll wait with the bike for now and just enjoy some hiking and paddling and the farmers in norway the sheep farmers they release the sheep uh during the summer months so they just roam about freely in the mountains which is where i'm at so i am really excited to have the sheep around the cabin my parents not so much so they wanted to close in the terrace so the sheep don't um lie on it and under it and poop there i on the other hand i just think they're cute so i just really want them to come by so i might go searching for them today because i know they have released them but i haven't seen them um around here yet it probably takes a bit time before they wander this far away from where they were released and yeah i'm looking forward to having some new neighbors so i am gonna stay here for the rest of this week and then i'm going back to work and there will be a lot of work in the next months when all of my other colleagues have their holidays then those who are at work need to step up and cover the extra shifts so it's gonna be quite exhausting but i am already planning on coming back here for the first weekend that i have off to enjoy some probably much needed relaxation and by that point my boyfriend who has now graduated and is now also a doctor he will be working in the same hospital as me and we both have the weekend off so we are going to enjoy it here and i am really looking forward to that uh we still have some more projects to do um we need to make a shed for the firewood and probably also another shed for furniture um because at some point we you know we're going to want to have a a barbecue and some furniture on the terrace and they need to be stored somewhere in the winter when it's several meters of snow so yeah and also we want to put a door um from the hallway to go directly onto the terrace because right now we have to go all around the cabin to get to it and it's going to be really nice to have a door so you can just go straight out um since the terrace is also not you can't really go on to it because it's it's high off the ground because it's very uneven terrain around the cabin so that's gonna be a nice addition and hopefully my dad and i can get that up soon and yeah it's really rewarding to make things yourself and learn new skills i had no idea how to do this before but it was a lot of fun so if you've ever considered trying something just give it a go if you have the chance it was was nice but i uh i am really looking forward to just spending some creative time knitting for the next week now and um also you know after work it's a great de-stressor when i'm coming home from work so i'm looking forward to that i have quite a bit of acquisitions waiting for me at home some summer yarn that i have ordered i'm waiting for i also succumbed to the the great linen quill by pearl soho that so many podcasters have been knitting on and just so beautiful katy jacks and they are katy jacks podcasts are the ones that started this whole thing and i saw the gentleman was also knitting on hers now uh amy palco by the meaningful stitch um or the meaningful switch by amy palco has been knitting on it and lots of other podcasters so i got some linen quill and i'm happily waiting for that yarn to arrive to see what all the hype is for about and uh casting on probably the half and half wrap or something like that it's called yeah so i think uh that's enough for this time um the next episode hopefully i've had a lot more knitting time for so i'll have lots of great things to show you i hope you have a wonderful week and that you enjoyed this little episode from the cabin and uh yeah i hope to record again here in the future if circumstances allow for it but i don't think it'll be three weeks until next time for sure because now i am i have a bit more me time coming up i hope in between shifts and my boyfriend returning and going back to society because there is no people here it's really nice and quiet so stick around for some footage from the cabin and around i think i'll go on a hike now to show you and i'll see you soon [Music] bye [Music] so [Music] [Music] do [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] you
