Thank you, Selma, for the Sting concert ❤! And for bringing us along your search for a pattern for this beautiful yarn! Ilha is now on my mind!

I love your footage of Sting. I had all LP's from "The Police" when I was young. Seeing this took me back in time. Thank you Selma

I really like the ankers sweater and the minimalist cable cardigan :)) currently, I am knitting the spill the beans sweater by drops garn studio, also knitting an i-cord on a mitered squares baby blanket for my grandbaby, and just started the sofie sweater top by drops... and now I need to knit 2 cowls for 2 girls bc I gifted my zumba instructor a crocheted cowl and her daughters love it! LOL luckily, I have some of the same yarn :)) God is good!

Thanks for your lovely video. Definitely the Ilha. It will be so nice in the yarn. Thanks for footage 🤩

Selma, you are such a pleasure to hang out with…..thank you.

Loved the podcast and loved the Sting footage. I have a DVD of a private concert he gave at his home in Tuscany on 9/11. The disaster had just happened and rather than cancel, he performed. I think the world needed a little Sting at that point! It is haunting, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. I just added the Granit cardigan to my list. Exactly what I was looking for, and I can't wait to cast on.

Hi from Australia. Love ur podcast. My suggestion for BFL yarn is CABLES!!! As an example, if you compare Merino & BFL fibres (under microscope) the merino fibres are crimped, so has little zig-zags all the way along & both longer and shorter fibres in terms of staple length. BFL staple length and fibre length is longer and the fibre is coiled & forms a little spiral. Result is different properties for each and good for different things. Merino is generally soft and if a garment has cables as part of design, pattern/cables will generally soften as a result of washing/wear etc. BFL cabling is very distinct in comparison and will continue to attract/draw the eye. So my suggestion to you for your BFL garment is the Artisane Cardigan by Sandnes Design published in Sandnes 2308 DIY (Vol 1) held together with SG Tynn Silk Mohair (as suggested by pattern). Check Ravelry for pattern details. Whatever your preference, please take advantage of the properties/scope available when using this yarn. Looking forward to your next podcast and final choice with this project.

Great video! I like the second sweater. My daughter teaches ESL. She lives in Mexico. -She is Polish and Irish. She loves the Spanish language. We call her dictionario . She constantly tells us which spanish words are only used in Mexico. What words other Spanish speaking countries use instead of the word that Mexico uses. It's muy interesante ! I enjoy your videos , I live in NJ close to Freehold , Where Bruce Springsteen grew up. I really like Sting. I saw him in concert in96? . At the Garden State Arts center 20 minutes from my house!

My name is Riad and I am based in Vancouver BC. I spent this summer watching all of your episodes from 84 back to your first one. And I subscribed to your channel today. We have a lot in common. I would love to share my story with you.

I vote Ilya pullover. What’s on my needles - a fairisle vest for my husband (who promises he’ll wear it). It’s in a book I have had on my self for several years. Folk Vesttsd buy Cheryl Obnerle. The one I am making is Lichen Waistcoast with Palette yarn from Knit Picks in similar colours as in the book. I have a stash of yarn to make the same pattern in blues. That is all I have as active but so many ideas with the yarn purchased that I could not mentioned here. I have finally bought some samples of Holst Garn in Super Soft and I am making a scarf for my hubby too. I new love of mine. I purchased some Titicaca and I have a swatch done with some fine J & S cone of yarn I have in a denim color. So little time and so many ideas. And I’m retired. 😮 Just another fanatic knitter here in Ottawa.

Thanks for sharing Sting!!

I am about to cast on the Ankers summer T, late for the season, but I run hit, so lighter sweaters are my go to. Kim and Jonna are running a Petite Knit KAL, so you would be in good company with the Ankers. That being said, the Ilha looks lovely too and I have now added more sweaters to my wish list. Lol! The new yarns you mentioned look wonderful. I will pretend I didn’t see them- must knit my stash, must knit my stash, must knit my stash. Lol! Have fun on your travel adventures! I look forward to hearing about them and enjoying vicarious travel.

Thank you for yet another wonderful episode. I loved the segment on trying to choose a pattern for your lovely wool. I go through this process every time I acquire new wool. I actually liked all your options and have a number of them in my 'favourites' on Ravelry, but I think I came down on the PetiteKnits "April" Cardigan, so neat and classic, or the Kate Davies "Sarkle". I'm sure whatever you choose it will be lovely. Best wishes from Australia.

I’m knitting my first Ranunculus! I remember seeing the Police perform in December 1980 in a circus tent pitched on Tooting Common in London. I don’t know how we weren’t all crushed to death when they opened the tent flaps to let us out at the end. No health and safety then. My feet didn’t even touch the ground - terrifying. Good concert though. 😅

All of your possible sweater choices are beautiful and would look beautiful in that yarn. But I think that the Ilha is so similar to the Ranunculus you are wearing that you should do one of the others. I know that the yarn weight is different, but you have quite a few ranunculus sweaters with a similar yoke, so if it were me I would do one of the others.

One vote for Anker's cardigan! But whatever you knit to yourself it will look classic and stunning! I'm glad also for the Nordic kal. By the way,Maria K:s Mimmi-sweater would also suit you well. I wish you safe journeys to NM and later to Spain,enjoy!❤

Hello Selma. Good to catch up with you and the footage of the cottage at the end was beautiful. So serene and a looks like wonderful spot to sit and knit. Sting still sounds great and must try and get to see him one day. I am knitting on 3 projects, a cardi Flower Power by Anna Johanna, for my sister, which has had me tearing my hair out. I have to frog all the colour work that I’ve have done as it looks huge😢 Not the patterns fault but my own. Also taking part in MKAL by Stephen West, and of course always pair of Vanilla socks to take along on outings. Think the Petit Knit jumper would look lovely in your EK BFL. Hope your workshop goes well and you have a great time in beautiful Barcelona. Safe travels❤

It was great spending time with you again. That is beautiful yarn...I think either the Ilha or Poetria would be awesome and have some great stitch definition. In fact, I added the Poetria to my favorites. Loved all of the footage at the end

Ah Selma, I am totally with you there in our love for Sting and the Police. How great that he returned to all the old songs, as he has moved through many different types of music since then. Sting comes from my part of England, and he did a lovely Christmas Concert in Durham Cathedral (about 25 miles from where I live). I have the DVD and bring it out every year now at Christmas time.

Hi Selma. I'm currently working on a test knit for NZ designer Libby Johnson who has Truly Myrtle knitting patterns. This design is Coorie a shawl with a plaid effect from stitch detail & colourwork rows. We are heading into summer & I currently have the Ilha pattern at the head of my queue to make as a tee in a linen blend. Your Erika Knight yarn is glorious. My vote is the Ilha Sweater followed by the April Cardigan. Thank you for sharing some of the Sting concert. He still sounds the same all these years later. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Selma, me encantaría verte en Barcelona. Sigo tus podcast por el tejido y para lisening😊.

Agree on the stripes, if I just knit without thinking that I have something to do when it is colourchanging time. It looks way better by doing nothing.. At least in my knittingworld. But then again I am completely flabbergested by people making big issues about purlstitches. Never had issues with pearlstitches. In hundred years there were no issues by purl stitches working flat. I would think, that people could consider they learned the purlstitch the wrong way, but that would be the easy way…..so probably not going to happen☺

I empathize with your feelings of joy and sadness, comingling at the Sting concert. I sense that I am in the same age range as you and I have to say that more and more I am seized by a kind of nostalgia that is more grief than anything else, perhaps because I feel the past so distantly and yet so viscerally. Not sure if it's an age and stage thing or a post-covid outcome... FWIW, I've been philosophically grappling with loss/death/decay my whole life (and my life is very lovely on balance, this is just how I roll). These days, however, that wave of sadness can sometimes overwhelm. xo

Right now I'm knitting the Koyamae by Joanna Ang in Nutiden Önska and Kidsilk perlrose. It's a joy to knit, because it feels so squishy, cuddly and fluffy. I've already knit the Ilha in a dark caramell colored wool I have on a cone. I enjoyed knitting it very much, even though I kind of struggled with the recommended way of constructing the neckline. After quite a bit of back and forth I ended up doing a usual one with one right one left for a few cm before doing a italian bind off. I also really love to wear it. Even wore it on cold evenings in summer. Sometimes you have wool and almost immediately know what to cast on and sometimes the decision is really hard, because you just want to knit all the things with it. I can very much relate to that. Also, if I want an easy knit, I usually prefer pullovers to cardigans... and like you do aswell, top down to bottom up. Thank you for your wonderful podcast! Unfortunately I don't comment as much as I should, but it's always a pleasure to watch. Have a good time with your travels coming up soon! Love from Germany, Andrea

I have ordered a pale grey-blue yarn and that will be my next knit. It is gorgeous! I hope your retreat goes really well! Anyone going is very lucky indeed!

I really like the minimalist cardigan but I was hesitant to make it because it's seamed. I'm looking at the options myself. I just finished Morning in Engelberg out of Erika Knight Wild Wool. It is boxy and I cropped it a little. I will definitely wear it. You might want to take a look at that pattern. It's got some texture and interest, but it's quite an easy knit.

Dear Selma, thanks a lot for your inspirations. I have Erika Knight BFL and tried to knit a Fair Isle pattern with it but it worked out not so good. Now I will have a look if the Granite Cardigan will be an option 😊. Best regards and have a nice time with your Workshop. Brigitte

Ah thank you for the little snippets of Sting. :) Your footage of the foggy lake reminded me of a trip to Vietnam. We stayed a couple of nights on a very basic house boat of a huge lake, and the early mornings in the fog were just magical. I'm all for simple knits at the moment, but I have bought wool for an all over cable jumper: the wool is a gorgeous irish donegal tweed in the wildflowers colourway. Neutral main yarn with the most lovely colourful tweedy nubs. I havent done cables for years, but how hard can it be eh?!

What a treat it was to sit and knit along with you on this blustery fall day here in Calgary (I'm working on my first Felix Pullover). You certainly got my attention saying that the Lamana Como could potentially be your new favourite yarn depending on how it wears. Very curious about this outcome, as it reminds me of Ulysse... which is a desert island yarn for me. The fog swim and loon encounter sounds absolutely dreamlike and mystical. GORGEOUS footage of the cottage and EweKnit. OMG! I must go there wow wow! Thanks for sharing so many beautiful options with the Erika Knight BFL. For what it's worth: I think the Granite Cardigan would be a solid choice in its classic simplicity, while allowing the gorgeous yarn to steal the show. Speaking of stealing the show - STING!

I chose the project because a) designed in the British Blue at 26 stitches(!) and b) I have the pattern already in the Knitting magazine.

I would say that if you are really looking for simple yet looks smart with the stitch definition of that yarn (I also have used it and loved it, but it was a mitten with a slip stitch tree motif...the Spruce Mittens by Kaitlin Barthold...I am JLoVolco on Ravelry if you want to look), I would say go for the Granite Cardigan. I think the first few round yoke patten options you showed may look very similar to the ranunculus you are wearing here. That cardi also looks so polished and a classic wardrobe piece. I do love the Sarkle as well though! I am finishing up my Llif vest for Rhinbeck...well as an option depending on the weather. I have another and some socks to finish and an Agi the sheep....haha we shall see how far I get in the next 3 weeks. Thanks for the concert...gee I saw him last in '93 also...yikes 😂

I agree! I think I need cardigans and it is a similar colour to the Ranunculus! You are busy! Enjoy Rhinebeck!!

Hi Selma. Enjoyed the podcast and who wouldn't like a little snippet of Sting. I vote for the Anker sweater and the Granit Cardigan.

I so enjoyed Sting clips in the end, I didn't want them to finish.... he's still got it. ❤

I only put a few because I thought it would be too much if I put them all 🤣 super glad you enjoyed them!

I agree with you regarding Kate Davies Sark! Love all the patterns. I think you should cast on from this book or knit the Granite. I’m working on the Weekender. Just finished an Ankers.

Thanks for your input! Granite seems to be getting a lot of attention

I’m binding off the sleeves on my Eva cardigan, knit with beautiful cranberry colored Rambouillet/merino yarn that I bought from the farmer at a farmer’s market in Maine. His wife dyed the yarn, which was spun locally. 🥰

I vote for the first sweater.
