Don't becafra8d of steeking. People. My first adventure in steeking was a norwegian pattern translated into English. Directions were minimal. Didn't specify putting in stitches for armhole steek. Also the neckl8ne needed to be steeked and no directions for that - didn't even say that neckline needed to be steeked. Took me a long time to knit the sweater but I learned a lot and lost my fear of steeking.

Hi Andrea! I’m not sure if this question is fair game for the podcast, as it is knitting adjacent, but I think a lot of us are dreaming of a dreamy vacation in Maine with our knitting! What are some of your recommendations for getaway in coastal Maine? Restaurants, activities, yarny attractions? My husband and I are celebrating our 20th anniversary this year and I’d love to celebrate by spending a few days in Maine in autumn. Thanks for all that you do!! ❤🧶❤

I absolutely feel the loss of mojo from time to time. I get like a 9-year-old on summer break. I’m bored with my old toys, I’ve read all my books, I don’t feel like putting my skates on or riding my bike. Just “bleackkkk!” Just hanging in there until it passes is the hardest thing. I am just now coming through one of these dark nights of the creative soul and am looking forward to the burst of energy that is coming!

Participation: sometimes the participation opportunities pull you into finishing or “doing” when your internal mojo is lacking. Other times, like your 3 day tour de fleece- that external pull is just not enough. It’s all about a balance between “what’s holding you back” and how appealing the participation opportunity is. For your spindle spin: you just committed to a tiny bit of spindling each day. Maybe the tour de fleece, snd sewing May ended up being too much commitment, and couldn’t stand up to the rest of the demands on your energy.

@TaylorOwen4 күн бұрын
I agree, steeked armholes can feel bulky, and if the slightest bit too tight, the worst!!! The only exception for me has been a steeked armhole to a set in sleeve. It gave so much structure and feels perfectly fine. IMHO, it’s the perfect technique for the right style, just not drop shoulder. Lesson learned. ❤

Andrea It would be nice if you designed a sweater most people could afford to knit. The kits are $300 +/- Don’t you think that’s a bit ridiculous? Would you pay that much to knit a sweater if you had to pay for the yarn? Seems like designers pair up with expensive yarn companies for their designs and the designers come up with designs that require enormous amounts of expensive yarn. I see it with more and more designers and it seems like a big grift. Bad look for the designers.
