Introductions Karla - K-Rae on Ravelry and Karlacrafts on Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest Emily - EmGemKnits, EmilyTheTechEditor - Instagram, and EmilyTechEdits Ravelry. Shout outs Introduce yourself in the Ravelry group or leave us a review on itunes or google play music or send us an email with feedback at mail@relentlessknitting.com We'd also love to hear from you in our “Meet a Knitter” thread. Where have we been since April 4th 2021? HAPPY PODIVERSARY! Been working on this on/off since Jan 25th 2015 Karla - COVID and Family have been keeping me very busy, I'm on the JOHS committee at work and there's been lots of reading and needing to pay attention to restrictions and protocols in schools that it's taken up a lot of my time. I've also had an addition to my job description where I run a hydroponic farm on our school property. I've been busy with creating programs within the school to educate students around farming and food security. My kids are both in full-time school now and managing them and their adjustment to that has also taken a lot of bandwidth. I've also been doing a lot of designing and learning around fibre arts, I've taken a few classes with Knit City Virtual around Coast Salish Weaving, Spinning and Designing. I hosted a couple knit alongs over zoom with the local fibre artists guild and I've been teaching classes at Kelowna Yarn and Needlecraft since Sept 2021 and creating new classes for that. I'm currently in the process of designing two classes for the Okanagan Knitting Retreat in May and organizing Yarn Okanagan's Summer of Fibre and Yarn Tour. Emily and I were able to visit each other early summer at her family's cabin and will be seeing each other at the retreat in May. Emily - Life has been lifey. I've accepted 2 positions in my school district working in Learning Support and Inclusion Support. The girls have transitioned back to school and daycare and we continue to stay busy with life. I'm looking forward to teaching a sock class at the Okanagan Knitting Retreat in May. I've waxed and waned in my knitting enthusiasm and picked up embroidery in the last few months, I LOVE it! What's knitting now Emily - Sparkly hat for the girls (Magpie Darling - , socks (always) for me, and I have an Exploration Station on the needles. Dishcloths. Karla - Guess Who Gloves by Holli Yeo Aeon Vest by Hilary Smith Callis FO's - Emily - I don't even know anymore. I finished Forsythian. A bunch of socks. Maybe a hat or two? Karla - Autumn League Pullover by Alexandra Tavel Winston Pullover by Jane Richmond Stephanie Pearl Mcfee's Patreon socks Dino Hat Skimmer Socks Abi's Hufflepuff scarf Magpie Darling Hat Granny Square Bag Test Knits Haven Cardigan Baleen New Published Designs Willow Rose Sourire Design features - maybe instead of going through everything in the last month, pick one thing we're really proud of that we were able to figure out? Emily- I started my Blackwork Embroider SAL. I'm behind but I'm so proud of my progress. Karla - Abi's Hufflepuff scarf, started out black with yellow stripes and had to restart, then right at the beginning had 1 stripe instead of two so without taking it off the machine I ripped out the Spinning Emily -I did do some spinning, and I love it it's just not my go to. I took an online course with Kim Mckenna about short backwards draw and learnt lots. Karla - Finished some handspun for Jocelyn, Intro to spinning class coming up at retreat. Crafternoon/Sew-what Emily - Not much other than my standard fibre arts. Karla - Trick or Treat Bags and Sleepover/carry all bags for the boys Stash Enhancement Emily- Sugar and Candy Large project bag, SQ of Lettlopi, skein of cascade heritage sock in raspberry. My embroidery kit and SAL Karla - Too much to list but the amazing ones that come to mind are KZip Advent, Gauge Dyeworks socks and hat planet distance self-striping. A couple of amazing facebook marketplace scores of sweater quantities. Best laid plans Emily - Get my sample socks in this pattern prepped for the retreat, cast on my birthday sweater - Vintersol Karla - Working through wips, planning classes, more designs Talky Talk Emily -Still have commit to knit prizes in the back of my head. One day I will send out prizes. coming up. ← That. Karla - Steek This Cup Cozy by Rachel Molenaar I created an editable google sheets where you can format your own colours Adventures in Mommyhood Emily- Everyone is doing pretty good. Bedtime has been ok. I despise Dance class. Watching Movies Karla - getting into a groove, screens is our biggest battle.

It’s a community for people that like to support their fellow humans regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability, size or age. I hope you feel the welcome embrace and love of the Crochet Clan. Come on in and stay awhile. In this episode, I cover Old Dog New Tricks; Yarn review; Final Destination; En Route; Quick News Beats; Big Up and J’adore. This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile. If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon: 1 – Old Dog New Tricks This month’s top Crochet Clan tip is from Stasia (Stasiacrochet on Ravelry and Instagram). Stasia has been on a real crocheted garment journey. She managed to make 13 last year and is already on her second of 2020. We both struggle to make tops fit because we have actual boobs to fit into a garment. Stasia’s top tip is to rearrange some of the stitches from your back to your front. For example, if you are making a top-down raglan and you are supposed to have a starting chain with 40 chains for the front and for the back, you may have 38 for the back (-2) and 42 for the front (+2). I sometimes deduct 5! If you are working top-down in the round then you need to do this before splitting for the sleeves and not from the beginning. Designers usually say that your back and front are the same width but mine are about 13cm different. This is a great tip if you aren’t a fan of the boxy sweater which tends to just hang straight off us big boobed people like a tent. You can make a smaller size, tailor it for your bust and create something more flattering. You just need to keep an eye on the arm length and bicep circumference though. My top tip is to know what you are looking for when you are choosing a garment pattern. For instance, there are patterns on Ravelry that go up to 60” bust but are listed as a 4XL, there are also 5XL patterns listed that also go to 60”. It is always better to go by your measurements rather than a size option. 2 – Yarn review I have written a full review for Yarnadelic by John Arbon Textiles (link) over at Provenance Craft Co. (link). It’s absolutely beautiful. Image text: soft grey background with three skeins of squishy Yarnadelic wool. It has a base of blue with dark fawn brown heathered throughout the yarn. It shows quite a high twist in the strands and a beautiful blend of the colours. 3 – Final Destination I have one little crochet FO from January. Needless to say, I have lots of stuff bubbling away that I will be able to share with you in the future. I am doing submitting some designs to magazines, partly because I really like working with an extended team and partly because it gives me a very firm deadline to work to, which is how I work best. The quickly whipped up this mitten pattern to be able to review the Yarnadelic yarn. I’m not going to write up a pattern for them, but the knowledge gained will be used in one of my next designs, so you will see a similar-ish pattern from me in the future. Image text: grey background showing on the right, a full mitten with rib and starting rows in Yarnadelic colourway 'Black Gold of the Sun' transitioning through some simple colourwork into the rusty orange colour that is Bracken from the Harvest Hues range. To the left is my hand, showing how the fingerless mitten fits. I did finish my Dad’s knitted Icelandic jumper. I posted it on the Wednesday morning and he phoned me on Thursday night to tell me how much he loved it. He is a step closer to becoming Icelandic! Image text: Double image. On the left is my white-haired Dad wearing his new Jon jumper with his hands crossed to show the details on the sleeves. On the right is the jumper on my mannequin. The main body is dark grey with colourwork at the bottom of the sleeves and the yoke in a gradient of greys into ash white. The design is called Jon (link) and is by Hulda Hakonardottir. I knitted it using Lettlopi (link) in four shades of grey. Before I sent it to my Dad, I asked Matthew to try it on to see what the shaping was like. He got his fingers about 3cm into the body of the jumper before he recoiled and refused to put it on. Matthew is at the other end of the wool softness scale to me. He loves lambswool, merino and Bluefaced Leicester and that’s about it. Luckily, I make up for it with my love of characterful wool. 4 – En Route I have one crocheted WIP on the go and it’s another garment! I was given the Adelong jumper pattern (link) as a present by lovely Claudia Dingle and I happened to have just the right amount of yarn for it from my Christmas pressies. Of course, it’s mustard coloured. I am using the Erika Knight British Blue 100 which is a DK weight yarn (link). It’s 100% British Bluefaced Leicester, 220m per 100g and I am using shade Mrs. Dalloway. Image text: grey background with the beginnings of a mustard wool jumper. My hand is holding the remains of a cake of yarn on the jumper and a crochet hook can be seen in the top right of the photo. The jumper is ribbed and the back panel from the collar down is finished, ready to start the front panel from the collar down. This is a really lovely, soft wool to use and it is crocheting up a dream. The pattern is by Deanne from Addydae Designs (link to IG account) and as you can expect from her patterns, it’s really well written and broken into bite-sized chunks. Image text: yellow background with a washi-taped photo of Deanne wearing her version of her Adelong jumper in a steel grey. Deanne has on hand on her hip and is looking to her left, with mid-length dark blond hair falling down the front. I am loving the top-down construction of this jumper. As mentioned in Old Dog, New Tricks, boxy jumpers don’t really suit my shape, so I am crocheting up a size medium so that there is less positive ease and I can make the most of my assets! 5 - Feeding the Habit I obviously bought more of the Yarnadelic yarn because I am in love with it! I have six skeins and am currently knitting a jumper with it. I also got some mini skeins during a jolly to see Ewe & Ply's new shop in Oswestry (link). There was also some incoming new yarn from RiverKnits (link) which is destined for my next crochet designs. Image text: Image 1 - grey background with a skein of Chimera yarn from RiverKnits which is a marl of blues and yellow, lying on top of a dark navy skein. In the middle is a hardback copy of Vanishing Fleece by Clara Parkes which has a bright green cover with a hand-drawn big sheep and a very small person riding on its back with a lasso. To the right of the book are three skeins of Yarnadelic yarn in colour Badi Da (mid steel blue/grey with a blend of mid-brown). To the top of the book is a bundle of mini skeins in pastel, sugared almond colours. Image 2 - yellow background with a washi-taped photo of Becci and Markus from RiverKnits wearing their dye aprons. Bothe have glasses on and are smiling as they look straight at the camera. 5 – Quick News Beats 1 - Global Hook Up – The February hook ups are on: Saturday 22nd at 8pm (GMT) and Sunday 23rd at 9am GMT. The meeting ID number is 475-047-5819 and you will need to join via Zoom which you can do here: https://www.zoom.us/join If you are joining on your phone or tablet you will likely need to download the software in advance. If you are joining from a PC or Mac, you can join via the link above. Everyone needs to use the same ID number to get into the session. 2 – I will be vending at the RiverKnits Open Day on the 7th March. It’s held at their dye studio in Weedon, Northants. All the details can be found here (link). There are even more vendors than last year, including Katie Green, Garthenor, Fruitful Fusion and many others. 3 - International crocheters. If you are interested in being on a list that I can pass out to dyers, yarn shop owners etc. that need test crocheters, then please email me: fay@provenancecraft.com 6 - J’adore I have just listened to Clara Parkes’ book Vanishing Fleece. It was wonderful and gave me a real insight into the wool industry in the US and where the concerns and issues are. It is a book worth reading if you are interested in how wool is processed and where the pressure points are. I’ll be back on March 6th. Have a fab festive season!

Hello there and welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast and the show notes for Episode 50 – Woohoo! My name is Fay and this is my audio and video podcast for those that love fibre crafts, particularly crochet. It’s a community for people that like to support their fellow humans regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability, size or age. I hope you feel the welcome embrace and love of the Crochet Clan. Come on in and stay awhile. In this episode, I cover Old Dog New Tricks; WIP RIP 2019; Final Destination; En Route; Quick News Beats; Big Up and J’adore. This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile. If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon: 1 – Old Dog New Tricks Last month, I said I was also going to start sharing your top tips in this section. This fist Crochet Clan tip comes from two folk – Trina (browneyedgirlGB on Ravelry and @browneyedgirl on Instagram) and Andrea (woolwoman2k8 on Ravelry, @woolwomank2k8 on Instagram and Woollen Yarns Blog). The tips are all about using stitch markers. Andrea uses them to mark the right side of her work, making it easier to find where you are in a pattern. Trina uses them to mark the first stitch of each row. I really like the bulb safety pins and stitch markers with the lever back arch because they are easy to attach and lock in place. Using stitch markers may seem like a bit of a faff, but it can honestly save you hours of work and help you to keep your row and round counts accurate. I’m working on a blog post which answers your questions on blocking. You still have time to ask me specific questions on blocking, if you have any. One of the questions was about how to block hats. If you are lucky enough to have a bowl that has the same circumference as the recipient, then you can use that. However, if the bowl is too deep, you run the risk of the hat brim being stretched too widely. I wanted to create a hat blocker that was bespoke to the circumference of my head, so I made one with papier mache and a balloon. Here is how to do it: 1 – Measured the circumference of your head. I measured 58cm across my forehead, over my ears and around the nape of my neck. 2 – Blow up a balloon and deflated it until it has a circumference of 2cm less than your measurement at the widest point and tie it off. Note that you reduce the circumference by 2cm so that the hat will block slightly smaller than your head and will be a good fit. 3 – Make a ‘glue’ from ½ cup of flour and 2.5 cups of water, heat on the hob and whisk until it creates a thick paste. Allow it to cool. This was enough to create two hat blocking moulds. 4 – Tear a few pages of newspaper into strips. 5 – Using a pastry brush (or similar), spread some of the paste over the balloon and press strips of newspaper over the balloon. Cover most of the balloon in an initial layer. Use a mug to stand the balloon on. Keep on building up paste and newspaper layers over the balloon. I added three layers of newspaper and three layers of tissue paper. You will need at least five layers to create a thick enough mould that will retain its shape when the balloon has deflated. 6 – Leave the mould to dry thoroughly. 7 – Coat the mould with three layers of clear varnish, allowing it to dry between coats. This will help to harden the mould and stop create a waterproof barrier between your wet damp hat and the paper. ALT TEXT : Photo 1 - cream background with two blown up balloons covered in newspaper and brown tissue paper. Photo 2: a newspaper/tissue covered balloon is sat on a mug on top of newspaper. A tin of interior clear wood varnish and a brush lie beside the mug. If you make hats for other people too, you may as well make two hat blockers at the same time. I also made a smaller one that fits my nieces head. To wet block your hat, soak it in wool wash, squeeze out the excess water and place it on the hat blocker (you may want to stand it on a mug). The shape of the mould should mean that the brim of your hat is at a point with a smaller circumference. This means that the brim will block to a smaller size from the main body of your hat and help to keep it on your head. ALT TEXT: Papier mache balloon mould is in a mug and has an orange and green knitted hat blocking on it. 2 – CAL Updates #wiprip2019 You did so well with the #wiprip2019. So many projects were finished up before the 31st of December. I managed to pass into 2020 with the following WIPs: 1 – a knitted jumper for my Dad 2 – a crocheted shawl design (30% done) 3 – a new crocheted shawl design (about 10% done) Basically, no personal WIPs, which is exactly what I was aiming for. 3 – Final Destination I have finished a lot of items in the last month. Some of them were things that needed to be sorted and others were designs or samples. Here is what has been finished off: My Bark Sweater by Sidsel Sangild (link) needed a remedy for the bottom because it was curling up. I have added two rounds of dc (US sc) and although it is curling a little, I haven’t yet blocked it and I think it will work. My Strandir knitted jumper (link) by Hulda Hakonardottir needed to be lengthened. I picked up stitches from the bottom, cut off the original ribbing and knitted a new 2 x 2 rib to make the jumper my desired length. I finished off my laceweight design shawl. I thought I would be able to show them all to you in this podcast, but I am entering them into a design competition that Unravel Yarn Festival is running. I’ll let you know how I get on! I finally finished my Verity Vest – it has only been about 18 months. It was designed by Dawn at The Almond Snug (link) and I crocheted it in Aruancania Ranco (link) in the colour – turquoise. I haven’t blocked the vest because it’s for my friend and she may want to add more length to it. I was also taking part in The Craft Bank, Gift along. I had chosen to sew for my gift partner and so made matching large and small project bags because she was teaching her granddaughter to knit. Whilst I was making the bags for my gift partner, I made some for me too. I’m trying to use up some of my fabric stash… Over the festive season, I made another bag, but this time, I added embroidery to one side and embroidery applique to the other. This will be used as a shop sample to show what you can make from some of the books I sell. I really enjoyed doing these embroideries. Sometimes working on a different craft can create a welcome break. ALT TEXT Photo 1 - waist rubbing of Strandir jumper showing the cut off the old rib and newly finished 2 x 2 rib.

ALT TEXT Photo 4 - front of a cream, linen handmade project bag. Three detailed black and yellow bees have been embroidered onto the bag and loo as though they are flying upwards. ALT TEXT Photo 5 - back of the same cream, linen bag has mustard and green leaves appliqued onto it with woollen threads in an oval wreath with additional foliage embroidery. ALT TEXT Photo 6 - Two, one skein handmade bags on top of a cream background. The bag on the left is a French blue colour with white clouds dumping snowflakes. The bag on the right has a cream background and a light teal motif that looks like a knit stitch/cat head. Both bags have two poppers to close them and sage green tabs as a small handle. 4 – En Route I have two WIPs on the go. The first is a jumper for my Dad and it’s a design called Jon (link) and is by the same designer as my Strandir Jumper – Hulda Hakonardottir. I’m knitting it using Lettlopi (link) in four shades of grey. I’m trying to make this quickly so that my Dad can get some use out of it this winter. I’m also about to start on the marsupial pouches to send to WIRE in Australia. I plan to make three of them, with cotton liners, before the end of January. Crocheted pouch patterns – https://www.facebook.com/rubylovesbrains/photos/pcb.10159191872638032/10159191871513032/?type=3&theater Knitted pouch pattern – https://www.wires.org.au/wildlife-info/wildlife-factsheets/making-possum-pouches Sewn cotton liners – https://www.wires.org.au/wildlife-info/wildlife-factsheets/making-possum-pouches Birds’ nest pattern - https://www.wires.org.au/wildlife-info/wildlife-factsheets/making-wildlife-nests If you are unable to create something but want to help in some way, donations are also being accepted by WIRES (Wildlife Rescue (link)). All donated items should be sent to Jacqui Fink, who is matching items up with the volunteers animal carers and organisations who need them. Her details are: Jacqui FinkPO Box 126,Balgowlah NSW 2093Australia ARRINGAH MALL NSW 2100 5 – Feeding the Habit I have managed my six months of no yarn buying (this excludes yarn that I needed to buy for designs and the yarn dyeing workshop that I did). I was giving myself until the beginning of January to see if any yarn took my fancy, but I haven’t seen anything. That said, I was given three sets from Matthew for Christmas. I do have my eye on some yarn, but it isn’t available until the end of January, so my plan is to start another six-month yarn ban from the beginning of February. Here are my Christmas pressies. Three skeins of Autumn in colour Narcissus from Freehold Yarn Company (link). I asked for this because I already had a skein of the mustard and a skein of the grey in my stash and wanted more to make a jumper – also, it was 40% off. It’s a fingering weight yarn (385m per 100g) and a blend of 25% Gotland and 75% Bluefaced Leicester. ALT TEXT: cream background with three skeins of sunshine, mustard coloured yarn and white label. Eight skeins of Tuku Wool (link) in colour H22 Valo. It’s a fingering weight yarn (195m per 50g) and 100% Finish wool. This was also from Freehold Yarn Company and was 40%. ALT TEXT: cream background with seven, 50g skeins of greeny mustard lying vertically and one skein lying on top diagonally. The yarn looks woolly and is heathered with green and mustard colours. Six skeins of Erika Knight British Blue 100 (link) which is a DK weight yarn ( 220m per 100g) and 100% British grown and spun Bluefaced Leicester. The colourway is called Mrs Dalloway. This was a last-minute addition because a local garden centre was selling off their Erika Knight stocks at 50% off, so £6.50 per skein. More skeins were bought to make Matthew a jumper too. ALT TEXT: cream background with two skeins of plum – proper mustard, squishy wool with a kraft paper label. I also received a skein of variegated yarn as a present from my friend Charlie. It is the colourway Exposed Steel by Gilly at Fjord Fibres (link). I really love crocheting and knitting with Gilly’s yarn – it’s really plump and warm. 80% Norwegian wool and 20% nylon – 350m per 100g. ALT TEXT - cream background with a variegated skein of plump yarn. It is green, grey, yellow, brown, orange and utterly gorgeous. 6 - Ask me anything As we are at Episode 50 of the podcast (woohoo) and I said that if you had any questions to ask, then I would answer them, so here you are: Ally asked - I know you left your job to start your business but what made you decide to design as well as running the business? Did you do any training/reading/workshops, etc before doing your first pattern? Pretty much as soon as I picked up a hook, I was designing my own items, even if it was just crocheting a cowl with a stitch pattern. It sounds a bit cheesy, but it was like I finally found my creative calling. Prior to crocheting, I wouldn’t have called myself a creative person at all. Crochet is what helped me understand that creativity isn’t just about being and to draw or write or play an instrument. Crafting opened up a whole new part of my life and creativity just keeps on pouring in. Fiona asked - When it is suggested you alternate skeins of hand-dyed yarn does it mean every 2 rows or how many? Does that mean extra ends to sew in too? Personally, if it was something worked in rows then I would do alternate every two rows so that there were no extra ends to weave in. If I was working in rounds, I would change every round to really blend the skeins. Claudia asked: What is your goal - where do you see your business in five years time? I would love my designs to have more prominence. It’s really hard to get your designs seen and to become well known in the world of crochet and knitting. I would also like to be in a position to support other new designers. This is something that I am working towards now, but I think one of my skills is in pulling people together to move crochet forward as a craft. Do you think that Brexit will have an impact on your business and if so - in which way? Most of my customers are UK based and I try to buy in as much stock as possible from the UK or make it myself, so I’m not seeing a massive impact at the moment. I know that there has been an increase in some of my raw materials that come from the EU which isn’t great. I suspect that there is a tightening of belts for UK citizens which isn’t great for our economy in general. However, there is an increase in the number of people crafting because it’s a skills-based hobby that is seen as useful and value for money. Interest in crochet, in particular, is on the up. Do you have many friends in your local area you can meet up with and knit/crochet together? Do you know that saying “if you want something doing, ask a busy person”? Well, I also run a fortnightly craft group called Woolgathering Sandbach. It has been going for four years now and we have a lovely group that meets up. I’m also beginning to work on another crafting meet-up with my friend Bec. The plan is to offer a meet up just south of Manchester a few times a year so that we can increase the number fo crafters meeting up in our part of the UK. Let’s not forget the Global Hook Ups too, where I et to meet with crafters from Russia, Australia, Germany, France, Scotland… Why did you leave Scotland and would you ever like to move back and live there? I had to leave to get a job associated with my degree. The expectation was that I would have to do voluntary work to be able to get a conservation job in Scotland and I couldn’t see why after five years of further education, I shouldn’t be paid for my expertise. I moved to England to have a job interview and became the Compost Development Officer for Oxfordshire County Council. I don’t ever imagine going back to Scotland. I suspect that our next move will be to North Devon! What other things - aside from yarn - are you passionate about? Which of your other talents would you like to develop more in future? Cooking! I love food and finding new ingredients. At one point, I was actually working towards running a charcuterie company. Then I started crocheting and decided it was a safer bet than charcuterie. I love the idea of crocheting a garment from shearing to hook and also learning to weave. I basically want to learn all the crafts. Corrine asked - What’s your naughtiest yarn-based project/ story?! I think I would probably have to hark back to a time when we had a fair bit more money coming into our household. Matthew had bandmates staying to write and record an entire album in one weekend. I was basically banished to the bedroom whenever I was in the house and by Sunday lunchtime, I had had enough. I basically surfed all the big yarn websites and pulled together a very large basket of goodies. The more frustrated I got, the better the yarns got. Needless to say, I have some very lovely cashmere in my stash that Matthew bought me to ease my pain over that weekend! 7 – Quick News Beats 1 - Global Hook Up – The January hook ups are on: Saturday 25th at 8 pm (GMT) and Sunday 26th at 9 am GMT.

Everyone needs to use the same ID number to get into the session. 2 – I have had my first ever pattern printed in a crochet magazine! Basalt has been printed in Inside Crochet. I really like the team at Inside Crochet, so it wasn’t exactly a hard decision when they asked if they could use the pattern for the magazine. It’s in issue 121, which came out on the 19th of December. 3 – My company name has changed from KNIT IT – HOOK IT – CRAFT IT to Provenance Craft Co. You may have seen some of my details change over on Instagram and across other social media. This is what the new logo looks like: I’ll be back on February 7th 2020. Have a fab festive season!

Welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast. Here are the show notes from Episode Ten - Take Two. In this episode we will be covering: Yay Crochet or Nay Crochet; the (almost) final instalment of our Yarn Club Review; Yarn Review of The Big Scary Bear Alpaca DK; Copyright; Take Two; FOs; WIPs; Feeding the Habit and our final segment What's Good? This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. and Lynne Rowe Knitting and Crochet Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile. If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon: and Lynne Rowe Knitting and Crochet Hello to Lisanif (Lisa), Soundzik (Marianna) and Monknitker (Amanda) from Ravelry. Thanks to everyone that tunes in to our podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, iTunes or our new YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated. We love doing the podcast and it makes it even more worthwhile knowing that there are people that really love it and are sat at their computers pressing refresh on publish day! The person that has the closest birthday to our publish date is Littlefrog (Tania) - Happy Birthday Tania! 1. Yay Crochet or Nay Crochet It' a Nay from Lynne: This month I've suffered from Repetitive Strain Injury from my crochet, mainly due to a number of combined reasons - I was using a metal hook, the hook was small in size, my stitches were small and I was wrangling to get my hook into them for the particular stitch type I was using (I normally use a hook with a soft grip handle and a metal hook on the end, but I didn't have the size needed). To remedy this I crocheted in short bursts and wore a pair of fingerless mittens whilst crocheting, which stops the metal touching my skin and prevents the pain from occurring. Fay: It's a yay from me. I have said many times that I am quite a warm-bodied person and am usually stripping off rather than putting on layers. My friend and neighbour, Gill, pops in to see if I want to go for a walk and the weather has definitely taken a turn for the colder in Cheshire. It has been too cold to go out with bare hands, but not cold enough to necessitate full gloves. Given that all of the samples for Take Two have been sat in my kitchen, I just keep on diving into the bag to pull out my version of Lynne's pattern, Baltum which is a pair of fingerless mittens. They have given the perfect amount of warmth for our country walks. 2. Yarn Club Review The final instalment of our Yarn Club Review is from another Crochet Circler, Charlotte (purplehayescrochet on IG and Charlottemhayes on Ravelry), who has subscribed to two Clubs: Crochyay! and Little Box of Crochet. Charlotte's full review is going to be loaded onto the 'Things to know about yarn clubs' board, but here are the main points about the two box clubs that she has been receiving: Little Box of Crochet is a monthly box that costs £17.45 and is done on a monthly rolling subscription although you can sometimes pick up additional boxes. Charlotte has been receiving this box since April 2016. Crochyay! is also monthly and costs £22.50 & P&P and you can also buy the boxes as a one-off. Charlotte received her first box in October 2016. With both boxes, you receive at least one pattern, the yarn required and lots of treats such as handmade stitch markers or a project bag. Charlotte has made most of the things from all of the boxes she has received with the exception of a Little Box of Crochet pin cushion because it isn't her type of thing. She has simply stashed the yarn instead and will use it in another project. The yarns used have been great and have made Charlotte try yarns that were new to her. The only one that she was less keen on was Rico cotton because it split a lot. LBC generally sends out cotton-based yarn and Crochyay! has been acrylic/cotton so far. The projects come with enough yarn for each project and the only time that Charlotte ran out, it was because her gauge was off but the yarn was readily available so she was able to go and buy more. Both boxes contain full written instructions. LBC also use handy photos as part of a step by step guide and Crochyay has lovely big text which makes the patterns very easy to read and follow. In October the LBC project was a tea cosy which Charlotte loved because she is a bit of a tea jenny. The Crochyay project was a pair of mittens with a half heart on each, making a full heart when placed together. All of the patterns have been easy to follow and Charlotte hasn't needed any pattern support. She has loved receiving both boxes and particularly loves receiving a surprise every time, making things that she wouldn't normally crochet and has particularly liked supporting small businesses. Charlotte does intend on moving to just one subscription and says that it will most likely be Crochyay! because the patterns are more modern and fit with her style. 3. Yarn Review - The Big Scary Bear Alpaca DK The Big Scary Bear is a relatively new company, owned by Richard and Karen Collier and is based in a small semi-rural village is Essex. Their fleece is sourced from their own herd of alpacas who live with them at Bramble Cottage, along with their six pygmy goats, two cats and two rabbits. The fleece is hand-sorted and graded before being spun into yarn by a specialist spinning mill in Oxfordshire. Their yarn is 100% alpaca and the ball band is made from recycled material. They have 6 shades available, all of which are lovely, soft hues, including Cream, Brown, Ginger, Navy, Cinnamon Grass, Pebble, Teaberry and Seafoam. About the Yarn: DK weight/21 sts and 28 rows over 10x10cm in stocking stitch £6 per 50g ball. We used a ball of yarn to knit up a test square using our standard test square pattern. Fay crocheted a premature baby hat with the remainder of the ball and Lynne crocheted a pair of mittens with a fresh ball. Lynne: The knitted swatch shows that the stitch definition is really clear, with moss stitch, cables and stocking stitch. I love how there are flecks of lighter colour here and there where the dye hasn't fully taken, which creates a mildly semi-solid appearance. The yarn is incredibly soft and could be worn next to the skin and even I could wear it around my sensitive neck, which is fab. It is great to knit with too - the yarn slid through my fingers beautifully and created a nice, firm stitch. My test square blocked out beautifully and I'm itching to start a neck cosy in Fair Isle with it. The tension isn't on the ball band, but it knitted up almost to a standard double knitting (light worsted) tension of 21 sts and 28 rows to 10x10cm over stocking stitch. I also wanted to test it out for crochet, so I've started a pair of crocheted fingerless mittens using half treble crochet in the round. Again, the stitch definition is perfect and they are incredibly soft and really warm. Fay: This is beautiful to work with and I felt that it really maintained the halo and sheen that I would expect from alpaca. The yarn has been nicely plyed and so there were no issues with the yarn splitting when I was crocheting and it was a dream to run through my fingers. I think that the pricing point is incredible for something that is 100% British and I would happily use this to make a garment with. It feels like the company is in its infancy and I really hope that it goes well for them. The only slight downside I had was that the dye in the teaberry shade wasn't completely exhausted and so a little came out when I washed it. However, this is the case with many yarns and so it is always worth testing a small cut of yarn in lukewarm water to see if it is dye-fast. This is particularly important if you are using more than one colour. 4. Copyright In our Take Two book, we encourage you to take our designs and change them up - if you don't like the yarn weight, then use something different, if you want to make it simpler then leave something out or if you're not keen of the colours, change them. However, all of the patterns are fully copyrighted to either Lynne or Fay, so even though you may tweak something in any published pattern, it doesn't mean that you can then publish the tweaked version as your own. There have been a few instances recently on social media where designers are finding that distinctive elements of their designs have been incorporated into another designer's pattern. Sometimes this has been something very obvious like a Fair Isle pattern, or it can be that the whole design looks almost identical. This sometimes happens purely by coincidence, after all, there are only so many ways to crochet a leaf or a granny square. So the best thing to do with a tweaked pattern is to add your FO to the designer's Ravelry page, then in the notes, you can document your tweaks. 5. Take Two Created and published by Lynne and Fay, from designing, sample testing, pattern styling and pattern checking, photography and book layout. TAKE TWO is a collection of 8 crochet patterns, each shown as two designs - sixteen patterns. We used some amazing yarns for our main designs, all of which have been spun in the north of England and in some cases grown there too. We each designed 4 patterns each which we passed to each other to remake in our own style using yarn from our stash. This wasn't a problem as we both have rather large stashes. We were keen to show that our designs could be made using the original yarns spun in the north of England, or they can be made using yarn that may be hiding at the bottom of your stash, waiting to be turned into something lovely. TAKE TWO is our first collection and includes a variety of easy-to-make crochet essentials including Colosseum (an asymmetrical shallow shawl); Auchincruive (a cowl); Skogafoss (a stylish messenger bag); Paraphernalia (a notions pouch or purse); Galicia (a long cowl); Baltum (a pair of fingerless mittens); Phasian (a textured Granny Square Blanket); Chrysanth (a textured circular cushion). You can buy: A printed copy (which includes a digital download) £12 (we are currently taking pre-orders and hope that the hard copy will arrive during the third week of December, ready to be posted out ASAP). When you buy the hard copy, you receive an instant digital download, or a digital copy £10 can also be purchased from Ravelry (search 'Take Two' under books) or from www.provenancecraft.com We'd love to see your finished makes and you can add them to our Ravelry page and our discussion board FO thread. 6. WIPS Lynne: not much progress on WIPS - I'm focussing on one thing at a time now, to try and bring my FOs down to a more manageable level. My 12 WIPS are: Aran Tweed Blanket - working on the border/2 pairs of socks - no progress/Mother-in-Law's Travis blanket - no progress/Manos del Uruguay Shawl - own design - no progress/Accordion Fingerless mittens - no progress/Lopi Cushion - no progress/Wrist Warmers - no progress/Odeletta Shawl - no progress (I started this again with a heavier weight yarn)/Cabled mittens - one more to make/Baltum mittens in WYS DK - one more to make/Lisa Sweater - no progress/crocheted mittens for testing The Big Scary Bear - one more to make. I've frogged the Sausage Dog - I took out the toy filling to re-use and frogged the knitting, wound it into balls and it went to the charity shop as I would never use the colours myself. I've finished my Abraham Shawl. Fay: There has been no attention paid to my Shorelines blanket or TARDIS cushion and that will remain the case until next year now - I just have too many other things to get on with. Lots of time has been spent on the two Uncia shawls because I have to have them ready for the second weekend in December - hmmm. I also have a HOP. I am now calling a sock a Half Of Pair because if it is a sock, you would have to hop. The pattern is 'Solar' by Gill (Gilly Slater on Ravelry and it is free) one of the Woolgathering Sandbach goers. I really love the vertical lace pattern and the bottle green makes me think of school uniforms and being eight again. 7. FOs Lynne: Abraham Shawl (knitted) made with stash yarns from John Arbon (Knit by Numbers) and Artesano (Superwash DK)/Christmas bauble (knitted) for a Christmas Swap/Test Square using The Big Scary Bear/Take Two Skogafoss Bag, Paraphernalia/various commission: knitted baby bootees, crocheted baby shoes, Daisy May next crocheted outfit, a crocheter flower wreath, a teeny tiny knitted panda and a crocheted sheep. Fay: I have made a third and fourth version of Paraphernalia so that I could show it off in other sizes and double, double-check the measurements and amount of wool required. There was also the premature baby hat for the local hospital but I will make a few of them before I hand them over. Emma from Woolgathering has given birth to a baby girl, Matilda, and so a few of us have crocheted a pram blanket for her and I managed to finish that off over this weekend. I also fired out the Newham hat from The Crochet Project's latest book, Raw and there is more to come on that in the next podcast. The problem I face at the moment is that I just want to start all of the projects and have really had to stop myself! Here are Fay's needle felting projects and knitted stockings, the Newham hat in John Arbon Knit by Numbers 4ply and Mamble socks in Shropshire Ply from Ewe & Ply from Raw. The baby blanket that Woolgathering folk worked on for Emma's baby and a premature hat for the local hospital. The hat was in The Big Scary Bear Alpaca in Teaberry and the blanket used Blue Sky Cotton and Evie from Sublime. 8. Feeding the Habit Lynne: No new purchases this month for me - all yarns used were supplied for commissions or were in my stash including West Yorkshire Spinners Aire Valley DK, Garthenor Organics Wensleydale (4ply), Rico Essentials Cotton DK, King Cole Merino Blend 4ply, Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and Sublime Superfine Alpaca. That said - I've just purchased a skein of chunky hand-dyed yarn from Petra Black (Made By Black Elephant) - ethically sourced yarns, hand-dyed in Yorkshire. If yarn isn't local then it is ethically sourced and supports the communities that produce it (mulesing free). Fay: I got my third and last instalment of my Life in the Long Grass yarn club which is called Chlorophyll and I can see why! I also went to Yarnporium which was great fun and picked up some new Gotland from Midwinter Yarns and a very special skein from Helen at The Wool Kitchen which is most likely going to be used as my yarn for the Christmas CAL. The other thing that I have purchased is a daylight lamp. I have been struggling to see the pattern properly for the Uncia shawls and under the guidance of my friend Jenny, went to Hobby Craft to buy the Naturalight portable LED lamp. What a difference this has made to my nighttime crochet and knitting activity! You can use it with the internal rechargeable battery, via mains electricity or a USB cable which would be perfect for car crafting. I am so impressed with this and it is currently reduced from £20 down to £15. It gives off a white rather than a blue light which means that is isn't likely to set off migraines. The yarn that I didn't have to purchase was the yarn haul that my Dad brought back from Iceland. I have a sweater quantities worth of Lett-Lopi and some new Icelandic yarn that I hadn't seen before from Gusto, an Alpaca/Icelandic mix. 1 - 100% Gotland yarn from Midwinter Yarns (mustard 293, Peacock Blue 174 & Dark Grey 960). 2 - Erika Knight for John Lewis DK is 100% South American wool, dyed, spun and balled in the UK (Citrine 04). 3 - The newest of Erika's lines for John Lewis is XXL, 250g with 55m shown in Dusky Pink. 4 - Mini Skeins from Baa Ram Ewe in their base Titus shown Dalby, Parkin & Bantum (top to bottom). 5 - Newest wool available from Daughter of a Shepherd is Foxen meets Merino. 6 - The wonderous The Wool Kitchen skein - I really should have bought two! This is in the colourway Denim. 7 - Icelandic wool is a firm favourite of mine, especially if it has come from one of my Dad's trips to Iceland. This is Lettlopi and is destined to become a jumper. The shade is Ocean Blue. 8 - A new to me Icelandic yarn brand called Gusta is a mixture of Icelandic wool and alpaca from Peru. The one shown above is shade Coal Grey (2500) and is a fair bit softer than 100% Icelandic wool... 9 - The final instalment of my Life in the Long Grass has arrived and is called Chlorophyll. I initially didn't really like this colour but it has grown on me and I find that I keep on going back to it to see all of the colours that are hidden throughout the skein. 9. What's Good? Lynne: I'm looking forward to a new year and being really organised. I say this every year, but it's definitely going to happen this year. I shall look forward to buying some shiny new stationery and making lists. Fay: It has been good doing the podcast with Lynne. It has been great for me having left a small team to have somebody to bounce ideas off and work with. As said we will continue to work together and already have plans afoot for Take Two, Collection Two...
