I really want to do one of your fab ponchos but I am not sure what yardage, as I have 80g (2.8 oz) of mohair I would like to use up. Would it be enough? Held with another yarn ?

We finally decided on the pattern yesterday, and I did find colors she liked but now to find gold/brown/mustard yellow in washable that she will approve of lol good thing she's not in a hurry.

Arne and Carlos also have a podcast on You Tube showcasing their favorite places in Oslo including yarn shopping. I would recommend visiting the Library near the opera house which has is very modern and unique. The library even has Bernina sewing machines for the public to use along with 3D printers, a cafe, a cocktail bar and more. Also our favorite bakery which you will find several, called Godt Brod. Yummy! The Sculpture Park is another “must see”. What a wonderful trip. I visited Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. If I had to choose which country I loved the best, hard choice, but I would choose Norway! Be sure to taste the brown cheese and the pickled herring!

Thank you for demonstrating the difference in how people hold their crochet hooks. It makes so much more sense now. I am a new crocheter. I have been knitting for almost 20 years though. I use Lush shampoo bars. I have been using them for almost 2 years now and really like them. I tried the shampoo bar from Trader Joe's and it dried my hair out. I have seen the Kitsch shampoo bars and have been curious as to if they would dry out my hair too. I will definitely have to try them out now. Thank you! It was so good seeing what you have been up to. Safe travels if we don't see you before you leave.

When traveling, I use the metal tin I got from Lush for the shampoo bar. It is round. It dries out pretty good but I leave the tin open during the day, so I am not sure how it would do if it was closed throughout the day. Maybe a paper towel placed on top to catch any drops of leftover water?

Just now had time to watch your episode. So weird seeing all that stuff in there 😂 Walking poles - Finland used to be a promised land for those. We call that "dementia skiing" because of the missing skis 🤪 but yeah, even the studies say it's way more efficient than plain walking. About the mountains of plastic etc. Did you know that also perfumes from perfumed products accumulate in waterways? Not even waste water facilities can really remove those. And they are usually made from crude oil, so the base is the same as for plastic. Also, they are hormonally disruptive and even carcinogenic and affect even unborn babies 😟 So all nature lovers should choose uncented products. That would also help lots of people like me; mcs is a thing and because other people use so much scents, we have trouble living a normal life. Sorry for❤ the rant, but I think people should be more aware about this. Norway is beautiful, especially in the north. Enjoy your trip!

She had a lady knit her a sweater. She came to me at work and so happy that she was picking up the sweater. So the next morning I was probably the first to see her sweater. Fit her to a tee and it really was beautiful. Later on that morning I stopped by her cubical to see her sweater again. She had to take it off because she was so hot. It was cute tho.

I just use the cheap metal crochet hooks but i crochet with then exactly like you do with the pretty ones, twisting the hook in my hand like you showed. My wrist stays straight too.
That was a game changer for me. It allows you to crochet all Day long. ❤️
I just saved a short on instagram that showed how to invisibly repair a hole just like that one in your husband's hat, using yarn (ofcourse) and thread, which gets removed after you use the yarn. It really worked slick. You can't tell that there was ever a hole there. I'll send it to you on instagram if I can figure out how to do it.
Actually I found it and sent it to you already.
Thank you. I need to try. But there are huge pieces missing so I may need a little patch. It would be cute to crochet a little mouse 🐭 peaking out from behind the patch… doubt my husband would wear it then. 😂😂😂
@@TheKnittyKats lol. That would be perfect.
Oh I just loved this episode, you had a little bit of everything! I would love to see how you packed so little for an 18 day trip to Norway.
I will film it. Great idea
Are the walking poles good support for arthritis in the hips & knees?
I am sure. It keeps you steady. You can go as fast or slow as you would like.
My daughter wants me to knit her a cardigan and I'm like you, I know she will wash it so I need to find the right yarn. Then there's the fact that she is so picky with what color she wants and it needs to be lightweight. My options are very limited. We finally decided on the pattern yesterday, and I did find colors she liked but now to find gold/brown/mustard yellow in washable that she will approve of lol good thing she's not in a hurry. It's 3rd on my list so I have 2 to finish before I get started. I am hopeful that I will find what I want.
Those girls are funny. And yes… particular! Share a photo when you finish.
Always love your podcast! Lots of food for thought: yarny and otherwise. Have a great trip!
Thank you !!!!
Hi, what dates will you be in Oslo? I'd love to meet you and take you around a few yarn shops. I will make you a list of shops and addresses and mail it to you. That way you can look them up online and plan which ones are the most interesting for you. I so love your podcasts🥰I wish you a wonderful 18 days in Norway. Don't be surprised if it turns out that it's warm in the north and chilly in the south. The weather is really unpredictable these days.
Sounds great! Yes. Yes. I would love to meet up. Will you message me on Instagram so we can connect ?
Lucky you, visiting Norway! I just got back from Scandinavia ending with a few more days in Oslo. Arne and Carlos also have a podcast on You Tube showcasing their favorite places in Oslo including yarn shopping. I would recommend visiting the Library near the opera house which has is very modern and unique. The library even has Bernina sewing machines for the public to use along with 3D printers, a cafe, a cocktail bar and more. Also our favorite bakery which you will find several, called Godt Brod. Yummy! The Sculpture Park is another “must see”. What a wonderful trip. I visited Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. If I had to choose which country I loved the best, hard choice, but I would choose Norway! Be sure to taste the brown cheese and the pickled herring!
Oh my gosh. Thank you!!!! I am so excited
Hello, I enjoy your podcast from Igreat.L. Have
Julie the podcast was great as usual. I like the personal bits at the end.
Thank you. My sister tells me I talk too much about myself so I try not to very much. I will Keep it at the end. ❤️
I’m using this yarn a lot also this summer and I love and I think we are on the same waves because I also bought the Pothos pattern and I can’t wait to make that one also.. so great to see you again my friend 💗💕
Wonderful! I just watched you latest podcast and think I need a ranunculus in white!! My pathos is coming along. I just finished the lace section. The leaves are cool. Yes that Eddie Bauer yarn is awesome. 😎
Thank you for demonstrating the difference in how people hold their crochet hooks. It makes so much more sense now. I am a new crocheter. I have been knitting for almost 20 years though. I use Lush shampoo bars. I have been using them for almost 2 years now and really like them. I tried the shampoo bar from Trader Joe's and it dried my hair out. I have seen the Kitsch shampoo bars and have been curious as to if they would dry out my hair too. I will definitely have to try them out now. Thank you! It was so good seeing what you have been up to. Safe travels if we don't see you before you leave.
When traveling, I use the metal tin I got from Lush for the shampoo bar. It is round. It dries out pretty good but I leave the tin open during the day, so I am not sure how it would do if it was closed throughout the day. Maybe a paper towel placed on top to catch any drops of leftover water?
I only like the castor oil shampoo and coconut oil conditioner. Which lush bars are moisturizing? I would like to try them. Thank you.
I don't like w &t because mine always show. I substitute GSR for the w & t. But need to move the wrap by one stitch so it is in the correct place.
Thank you. I had read that but was nervous it was part of the leaf pattern. It wasn’t 😣
Great episode, thank you. That tapestry bag is gorgeous. I loved all the shawlettes. Sending prayers for a safe journey.
Thank you so much!
I love seeing all your hooks. I have a collection So I don't have to buy one when I want to start a new project. Also thanks for your tips.🤗
Awwww thank you. Yes we need an army of supplies!!! 😂😂😂
I so enjoy your podcast~everything about it. 😊 Have a great backpacking trip. ❤
Thank you. So sweet of you to say nice things. ❤️
I just heard you mention Craig. Have you ever been to Yampa Valley Fiber outside of Craig? It is fabulous!
Lisa Lisa Lisa. Yes. I love those people. It is the nicest wool I have ever purchased. I hope to go back and film a video. Have you been?
@@TheKnittyKats yes! My husband was skiing about 45 minutes away and I drove over there. What lovely yarn 💕 I am from Illinois and it was such a treat for me. I bought some beautiful part cashmere yarn from her that I am saving for a special project. I hope to get back there some time.
I did not know she had cashmere!!! time for a trip.
I so enjoy your podcasts! I especially liked your section on crochet hooks. My favorite hooks are by Tulip. Similar to Clovers. I have a really nice set of Tulip hooks. I've been working on the Jethro Cardigan by Tanis Fiber Arts. It's made using granny squares then has knitted ribbing and sleeves. Just the sleeves to go. Thanks for the travel tips (shampoo bar and laundry sheets). Will put them to use soon (we go camping too). Thanks for sharing. Safe travels to Norway.
Oh thank you! I will need to look up that cardigan.
I very much enjoy your podcasts - look forward to them. Thx for sharing 💕
Thank you so much!
Beautiful episode! Have a great trip!
Thank you !!!!
Have a great trip! I'm going to see some family and I'm deciding what knitting to bring on the plane.
Wonderful! Yes always pack the knitting FIRST! lol
Great to see you back! I would suggest visiting Heiman Husfliden at GlasMagasinet (department store). It has the largest selection of Norwegian knitting and weaving yarns and accessories in Oslo. It is located in the lower level. Lots of eye candy and beautiful yarns. Have a fabulous trip. I love Norway and Oslo is great.
Just now had time to watch your episode. So weird seeing all that stuff in there 😂 Walking poles - Finland used to be a promised land for those. We call that "dementia skiing" because of the missing skis 🤪 but yeah, even the studies say it's way more efficient than plain walking. About the mountains of plastic etc. Did you know that also perfumes from perfumed products accumulate in waterways? Not even waste water facilities can really remove those. And they are usually made from crude oil, so the base is the same as for plastic. Also, they are hormonally disruptive and even carcinogenic and affect even unborn babies 😟 So all nature lovers should choose uncented products. That would also help lots of people like me; mcs is a thing and because other people use so much scents, we have trouble living a normal life. Sorry for❤ the rant, but I think people should be more aware about this. Norway is beautiful, especially in the north. Enjoy your trip!
Thank you for the content. I am so sad I messed up the audio music on the second half... So sad. But it was so nice to use your amazing images. Thank you.. One day I will make it to Porvoo!
Another very enjoyable podcast thank you. I love all the content - knitting, crochet, travel, house, tips, personal, just a perfect mix, like sitting in the kitchen with a cup of tea, chatting. 😊I am always delighted when your podcast pops up. Your makes are always perfect and lovely colour choices and your tips are always great. I am in awe of your packing. I am visiting relatives soon for 6 days and I am bringing a suitcase! On another note, I agree with changing to laundry sheets where possible. I changed a few years ago and am delighted with them. Enjoy your trip. I look forward to hearing about it and seeing the yarn you choose☺️ Take care
Thank you... have a fabulous trip yourself.
Enjoy your trip to Norway.🇳🇴 A beautiful country. Delightful podcast😊
Thank you! Will do!
Fun podcast this morning. I had a friend and she would comb her dog every day and save the fur and every year save it from her trims. Well she finally had enough fur. She had a lady knit her a sweater. She came to me at work and so happy that she was picking up the sweater. So the next morning I was probably the first to see her sweater. Fit her to a tee and it really was beautiful. Later on that morning I stopped by her cubical to see her sweater again. She had to take it off because she was so hot. It was cute tho. Have a great trip!
This made me laugh. Figures we spend a year gathering and knitting and can't wear it. I bet it looked great on the back of her chair!
So excited to see a podcast from you!! Was wonderful, as always. Your photo of friends, what a treasure. You all have such beautiful teeth and smile! I, also, am concerned about all the plastic containers and landfills. I have gone to 'Blueland' products. I do all my laundry with their tablets. come out CLEAN and smelling lovely. No more plastic containers for me!!!! And, I'm the same... Devon's hand balms. love them and can't resist buying the new scents. Love the trick with your feet. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! You always have the nicest things to say about my podcasts. I appreciate you.
Thanks for sharing the laundry sheets, I’m going to check them out!
You are so welcome! Hooray - thank you...
Great Podcast!! As always!! Such a joy to watch and hear all about your makes and life!!
Thank you so much!
