Opal yarn is so good. So happy to have it easily available and i love my Opal subscription.

I'm in southern Ontario and was lucky enough to just travel to my backyard for totality. I'm out in the country, so something I didn't expect was to hear a nearby rooster crowing in confusion 😀

I’m so glad you went with your family to see the eclipse. I really want to make the Folklore sweater for my daughter - I think she will love it.

I'm soooo glad that you went to see the eclipse & had a great time!! 🌛☀️

Black Sheep yarn Shop carries Opal Joy! Yay!!

Your socks are so pretty, love seeing them all!!!!! Watching from New Hampshire

The eclipse was awesome in TX (we were in path of totality and just barely had cloud coverage). Love that Opal Joy, too!

I can’t use 9-inch circulars either. They cramp my hands, too. I am SO glad you went on the eclipse trip. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced!

My friend lives in Lima OH and she got the most amazing pictures of the Eclipse! We had totality here in Little Rock & will again for the next one. It was totally amazing.

I love chiaogoo 9” interchangeable with the larger needle on one side. My youngest was born in 2013 😢 they are getting so grown up.

Wow, was I wrong! My granddaughter said Taylor Swift was singing about a baby, and the KZread shorts named it differently! I love the album, we drove around today with it loud and singing along! Went to Hobby Lobby and Starbucks!

Hi Lisa - I'm with you, we are true winter boys here. Not into the muggy sweaty summer. PLUS winter is when we get to wear all of fabulous knitwear! Glad you got to the eclipse. Knit in good health! @Professor_purl

Farbe = color and Partie = dye lot. I am German living in Colorado and Opal is my favorite work horse sock yarn.

Thanks!

Don’t worry about repeating info about your projects. I watch every week but, as far as I’m concerned, it’s good to hear the specs for a project each time. Your socks, blankets, and chickens are wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

So glad you enjoyed the eclipse outing! Your kids will always remember spending the day with you

I'm so glad you got to see the eclipse. It was so incredible to see in real life and I've been so shocked at how many people in my life were "ehhh" about it and didn't go to see totality. I know the traffic was insane and not everyone can do that. It was just so, so worth it. I can't put into words how amazing it was.

Yes! It was amazing!

I started doing a backwards loop increase rather than a M1R and M1L for my Musselburghs and it changed my knitting life! It significantly diminishes the fiddly factor when working with small needles and fingering weight yarn. Your hat (and all of your work) is gorgeous 😍

I'm doing the same thing with a cardigan. I'm using a yarn where you can't really tell what stitch is used so I figured I'd make life easier for myself and just use backwards loop cast ons instead of M1L & M1R, and it's totally been worth it for less fuss and the speed in getting to the arm separation.

Forgot to add to musselburg talk!!!! Have never tried it because of beginning!!!! Saw knitty knatty had a tutorial for a crochet start instead🎉 Maybe will try it ! Elaine,

love seeing all your scrappy projects. i'm thinking about asking my sister to make me an advent from minis in my stash. i will make a mood board or colour palette or inspiration image and ask her to make up an advent that matches the vibes.

A fellow newly obsessed Swiftie!! I totally get the obsession and I want all the Tay inspired yarn lol. Now I wanna cast on an Eras Musselburgh too😊

Keep going with Throne of Glass! I enjoyed ACOTAR a lot, but TOG in the 3rd book takes off and is my favorite SJM series!

Of course, love all the socks. How cool to see the eclipse in person. You could always try asking Anna Knitter about the availability of the Opal Joy. She lives in Germany and sells Opal.

I also put on the taylor swift eras tour while i sit and knit. amazing how fast 3 1/2 hrs can go. TAYLOR NATION!! I absoultely love your hat. the striping is beautiful. im currently making my oldest grand daughter one in colorway unicorn burps by leo and roxy

Start and finish times for socks! "Curious Minds Want to Know." 😀

I’m pretty sure that Must Stash colorway is symmetrical so you won’t end up with reversed stripes.

Glad your trip went well.

Hello Lisa from Swansea, Illinois.

We were in the totality of the eclipse in Missouri and you’re right it was amazing. Keep making all the socks the inspire me to try new things. Happy making.

That sock is joyful!!!!!!!!

2 advents! I'm making you one! ❤

We were in the path of totality so I was able to walk out front and watch with my glasses ❤❤. Glad you didn’t miss it!

Did you see that Always Be Kind yarn is doing a colorway for the new Taylor Swift album? I can't remember who it was, but I saw a knitter who would cast on their Musselburgh with a provisional cast-on, knit the long tube and decrease the opposite end and then go back and decrease the cast-on end....that way there was no fiddly pinhole cast-on, just decreases on both ends. Haven't tried it yet, but it seemed pretty cool!

I’m so glad it was fun seeing the eclipse!!! Living in New Mexico it just got a tiny bit dark. Nothing spectacular!!! Love all the socks! 💜 Steph

I'm with you - not a fan of being sweaty in summer. I much prefer winter.

Because of you mentioning it a few podcasts ago, I was able to get in on the monthly Halloween yarn club by Freckled Whimsy before it sold out, so I have you to thank for the excitement I'm sitting in waiting for the first skein to ship out :D

That hat is turning out amazing!! Also, my daughter was born in 2012 as well and both of my kids like talking about “the late 1900’s” just to make my eye twitch 😂

Thanks for making Mondays tolerable Lisa. Always enjoy your podcasts. I have all of the Opal joys. They are one of my favorite along with the Van Gogh and Sweet and Spicy series. Hope you manage to get some. Glad you saw the eclipse. Have a good week. Gail 🧶

I just read here on You Tube that Taylor Swift is pregnant!! My faves: Florida, and Who's afraid of little ole me!!

Yes, I like to know who long dose it take for you to knit a pair of socks

My husband and our four dogs and I drove 3.5 hours to MIL house to see the eclipse. So on the day, I was able to just walk out in her front yard and sit in a camping chair with my knitting and watch the entire thing. Of course, I kept taking off the shades to see the knitting! Lol

The trown of glass get way better.

Instead of cutting the yarn on the second 50 grams, stop using the first one where the new color on the second one picks up. And you can always use the leftovers for the decreases if necessary.

Forgot to add - they have a great selection of Opal in general if you want to check it out.

I am with you about JK. I love me some Harry Potter but she needs to just shut up. For real. I'm glad you went to see the eclipse! We saw it from the playground at school (West Michigan) and it was so fun. The kids loved it and thought it was kind of spooky how chilly it got with only that little sliver of the sun showing. The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is SO GOOD. The book and the movie. My all time favorite series behind Harry Potter.

So glad you got to see the eclipse!!

Good morning Michigan. Morning pleasantries Lisa. O my. Right off the bat, those vintage Christmas socks were the best in show today for me. The greens and peachy colors really stands out.The browns as well. You picked a great color way Lisa. Simply sock company in Indiana where I'm from has lots of Opal. Looked before I started writing and they didn't have the Joy color way. You didn't mention how much coverage of the moon over the sun. Oh well, glad you and your family enjoyed the trip. I could never at my age (69) take a car ride for that long of time. I'm about 1/4 in inches on my scrappy granny stripe blanket meaning 15 inches. Total will be 60. Perhaps one day we could all see you knitting. That would be a treat. Take care. many blessings. Prayers for rain ☔

Swifties!! ❤❤❤❤❤

❤morning Lisa!!!! 🌅 So glad u went to see the eclipse!!!!! Worth it!!!except for headache!!!😢 We sat in our deck but was not the show I saw on TV or online!!!!🎉it was overcast that day here!!! Love !love that Opal!!!!I have alot of regia and opal!!!!😂 Not the joy though!!!!just got crazy waters and it looks great!!!! I googled joy and it's still available here in Canada! And saw a few places in us like traders yarn !!! I may have to order some I love it when I saw it on ur instagram feed!!!😮 The color you used !seems popular!!!but the greens!!!!🎉 Take care !have good week! Elaine 🏠 Still loving DK socks and one yarn !!!regia and opal !!!

I just found a ball on Etsy and just ordered it of the joy

I think the Nomadic Yarn would be my choice for a Musselburgh!! And my finger is poised to buy a Taylor Swift skein 😂

I was like you in that I would have rather stayed at home. But unlike you, I could have skipped it and watched it on tv or my laptop. My husband loved every minute and he probably won’t get the chance for 2044, so I’m glad he was able to see it. The dogs were pretty oblivious to it all even though I heard that it could affect the dogs. They were barking at the neighbors who came out to see it, so we put them inside. I did hear some birds but it was quieter.
