Episode 19 - /16/17 It’s nice to be back. Thanks for your patience with my 2-week hiatus. I was only expecting to be away 1 week but sometimes life gets in the way. This weeks segments include FOs, Wips, Wearables, an extended Pattern Stalking segment in which we’ll discuss finding patterns that fit you, and On the Road as always this will be in 30 minutes or less. Warning, there’s also a brief history lesson on what an Acadian actually is. FOs I have 2! 2nd Hamilknit Hat by Emily of the Knitting Butterflies podcast Purple Hitchhiker by Martina Behm Wips Pink silk hitchhiker by Martina Behm (strichmick) for MiL for Christmas Empire Top by Lily Go for me, out of discontinued cotton/bamboo blend Picoboo by Frogtree Yarns – need to finish it by the 20th for Stash Dash! Only 1 sleeve to go, I can do this Triyang Shawl by Lee Meredith – haven’t done much on this, but I have done some and as the Knitmore’s say if I work on more than 1 stitch it gets listed here. Wearables Thoughts by Joji Locatelli made in Araucania’s Yumbrel Mommy’s Tunic in Juniper Moon Farm’s Neve Stash Birdie’s Knits Gradient Kit in colorway Denim for Days, pretty much every shade of bluejeans you can imagine, 400 yards total, 8 skeins of 50 yards each Try it On Room at SSK – what I learned/Pattern Stalking Preface by saying every pattern I mention is linked in the show notes I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I learned this by trying on over a dozen hand-knit sweaters: What your eye likes may not be what fits you best. Let me repeat – WHAT YOUR EYE LIKES MAY NOT BE WHAT FITS YOU BEST For example, the Hitofude cardigan emphasizes your bust. It looks great on everyone with average busts, no matter what size your waist or hips because the unusual shape hides those to some degree. But if you have a large bust it’s like wearing a highlighter saying “look at my boobs”. Another popular top was Breathing Space – it looked great on lots of body shape, BUT, where the horizontal lines fell on your bust really changed the appearance. Bustier women liked it better having the diagaonal lines start as written, at the bust line, because it de-emphasized a large chest. Small/medium size busted women liked it to fall below the bust because the horizontal stripes helped balance their bust with their hips. Ann Budd’s skirt – never thought I’d want a knitted skirt, but the four sizes she brought looked good on everyone. And I mean EVERYONE, from the skinniest to the widest person the A-line cur flattered every single body shape I saw try it on Secret Garden Tank by Melissa Wehrle – the hidden lace panel at the back gives it a very flattering A-line Hitofude by Hiroko Fukatsu – want to knit this again after losing my first at an airport last year :( Vitamin D Cardigan - by Heidi Kirrmaier similar shape to Hitofude but hangs a little more straight up and down so you don’t get the bob-highlighting effect quite as much Hoodie Shawl Cardigan – Susanne Sommer – way more colors than I normally wear in one garment, but it looked great on me so maybe it’s time to branch out in my color choices Alice in Wonderland by Justyna Lorkowska – more fitted than I normally wear in a knitted garment but I was surprised how good it looked on me Dark and Stormy by Thea Coleman - I usually avoide shawl collars, but this one looked good on a lot of people with a lot of body shapes On the Road Spent a week in Nova Scotia, Canada visiting cousins. So nice, we hadn’t been back in nearly 3 years. Also, you need to visit Le Village Historique Acadien. In addition to great family history (for me, at least) there’s great examples of knitting and spinning from around the year 1900 and the food is AMAZING. I’m still wondering where that tradition went because I have no memories of my grandmere doing any knitting beyond functional knitting, such as dishcloths. Quilting, on the other hand, has a beautiful and celebrated history in the area and local quilt displays are a definite must-see! Warning, there’s also a brief history lesson on what an Acadian actually is. Here's a graphic of the Acadian Expulsion that I mentioned from the brand-new memorial, which shows where the Acadians were shipped off to.
