Planting Seeds- Episode 716- The Knitmore Girls

Gigi and Jasmin co-host a knitting podcast featuring regular segments such as "On the needles", "Mother Knows Best", and "When Knitting Attacks!"

I really enjoy this podcast because it is informative, playful, smart and about knitting (some knitting podcasts are a bit silly and go off topic).  As well, the sound quality is very good. The different segments in the podcast give it structure and I love the gentle discussions and perspectives given as well as the acceptance for all types of listeners. Both hosts give a professional and polished experience that will satisfy all knitting levels as well. I feel very much “at home” when I listen each day. Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into making these podcast for knitters to enjoy. 🧶👍😍

Lovely lovies!

This is one of my all time favorite knitting podcasts.

A perennial favorite

Knitmoregirls's Podcast

This week's episode has been sponsored by:


New this week: Cascade Eco Alpaca, and dyed colors of Pure Alpaca, new certified Free Trade yarns from Frog Tree Alpaca, including the new Picaboo, bamboo, pima cotton, and Green Line



 DK and Worsted merino from Lorna's Laces.

Administrative: (00:30)

Knit's up has moved to Libsyn. If you're having problems updating your feeds, find our tutorial here.

On the Needles: (2:00)

Gigi is making good progress on her On the Vine scarf.

Jasmin cast on a sock to chase away her bad knitting mojo. She is using
the Abstract Fibers "Supersock" in Newport. (Jasmin and Gigi will be
reviewing this yarn in a later podcast.) Jasmin also discusses working
with the square knitting needles. Jasmin suggests that LYSes should
have "tester" needles so that knitters can try them. (Jasmin refers to
the Addi Turbo interchangeable review episode.)

Gigi is working on the Par Five sock out of the brown Malabrigo Sock.
Jasmin tries to understand golf. Gigi describes golf as "banhoff".

The Knit(more)-A-Long!

Jasmin's: Katarina (by CocoKnits), in Tess Yarns' Silk and Merino.

(Jasmin is knitting hers in one piece, as opposed to the way that the
pattern is written. She talks about how she blocked her Twist.) Jasmin
is knitting this at a tighter gauge than is recommended in the pattern
(Jasmin is knitting it at 5 sts/6 rows per inch) because she disagrees
with both the math in the pattern, the schematic, and the gauge of the
recommended yarn.

Gigi's:  Carli (by CocoKnits) in Malabrigo worsted, Burgundy. Gigi is matching gauge and knitting the pattern as it is written, thus far.

They talk about substituting yarns and the need to occasionally recalculate a pattern. They also discuss picking colors.

Mother Knows Best: (30:24)

Gigi and Jasmin discuss warm weather knits; they LOVE the Tess Yarns' Microfiber Ribbon. Some of Jasmin's favorite patterns include the ribbed turtleneck (by Jill Ramos), the chevron ribbed tank by Ann Budd, and the perfect periwinkle turtleneck tube vest from Fitted Knits.

Jasmin seals the end of the ribbon with Fray-Check, talks about the best way to wind it, 

Straw into Gold: (42:13)

Jasmin is still spinning Talullah, she wants to knit something with cables (like Mariah). Jasmin talks about "swatching" your spinning. Jasmin is going to use her Maggie mini skein-winder to make tiny test skeins.

Reviews: (46:10)

They review the Malabrigo sock yarn. Four Knitmore thumbs up!

They also review the Leslie Wind cable needle necklace. (Video tutorials can be found here.) Jasmin loved it, Gigi didn't.

And, we're off! - Episode 45 - The Knitmore Girls

This week's episode has been sponsored by:



We would like to thank Chloe Sparkle and Tika for appearing on the podcast this week.

Contest:

We announce the winners of our "Do Some Good" contest!

On the needles:

Gigi has finished her second red Saturn Regia sock (Jasmin helped with the blue Saturn pair). Gigi has finished the second sleeve on the neckdown wrap cardigan. She has finished the first sock (Color: Argyle Socks, Pattern: vanilla) in the Claudia's Handpaints fingering weight. JasminGigi have updated their Ravelry project pages.

Gigi finished her second Honeycomb sock, and has finished a pink Jet Regia sock, a blue Jet Regia sock, and the first blue Saturn Regia sock.

Jasmin, Tika and Chloe have been having loads of knitting adventures
this week. Jasmin and Chloe found some Japanese stitch dictionaries.
(Links to some of them: 1, 2, 3.) Tika and Jasmin went to Bobbin's Nest on Tuesday and did a little stash acquistion. (They both bought some HazelKnits sock yarn to try, and Tika bought some Pagewood Farms sock yarn.) 

Chloe and Jasmin went hunting for dress forms at the Mervyn's closing
sale- which they are using as photo props for their knitting. The whole
group attended the Commuknity closing sale on Friday and Sunday. 

Jasmin has worked on her Mesmer socks, her DayGlo socks,
and a pair of Secret Socks. (Secret socks are being submitted to
Knitty, and if they're rejected, they'll be a giveaway on the podcast.)
The creative muse is contagious!

Chloe is on a blanket kick! She's knitting some really awesome blankets
(including the "Super Sized Entrelac" blanket and a chevron blanket).
Tika is working on a pair of Jacoby mitts out of Claudia's handpaints fingering weight (color: Pistachio).

Jasmin finished spinning the black and gold silk/merino batt from Crystal Creek Fibers for Gigi. Jasmin is casting on a pair of socks in Lisa Souza's Hardtwist Petitie (in Blackpurple).

Review:

We review four different types of interchangeable circular needles:

Addi Clicks

Denise Interchangeable Needle Set

Boye Needlemaster 200

Knitpicks Nickel and Harmony: (Here is the article from Knitter's Review.)

Mother Knows Best:

We discuss New Year's resolutions. Gigi resolves to weave in ends
immediately, always have an UFO in her knitting bag, sew more, "snail"
less, and learn more applications on her iPhone. 

Jasmin discusses "Jasmin 2008" and delves into the basics of "Jasmin 2009". This year, Jasmin resolves to experiment more and live more in the moment. (This is the link to the awesome a capella thing, here's a link to the UC Berkeley Men's Octet videos.)

Tika has also resolved to experiment more. (Tika 2009.) Chloe has resolved to knit more out of other people's stashes. Chloe has also resolved to get out and design in public.

When Knitting Attacks:

Gigi has found that doing toe decreases while socializing is not optimal. Jasmin has a fiber related injury.

Hark! The Harlot! - Episode 28 - The Knitmore Girls


On the Needles:

Gigi finished her Icarus! Also, the Knitmore Girls need to do some serious blocking (including Gigi's "Flamingo Feathers" (really a Peacock Plumes shawl made in pink Malabrigo laceweight) and "Fischu".

Jasmin is still working on her Day-Glo sock #2 and her Mushroom Caps sock #2, and has finished the spinning for her (future) toe-up rainbow socks. Jasmin is also spinning a batt from Crystal Creek Fibers (silk and ramboullet) for Gigi. She's also finishing a sweater for Sandi (at Purlescence Yarns).

Gigi is working on her Neck Down Wrap Caridgan. She's still working on the Coriolis, Upstream socks, and the Zig Zag Slip Stitch socks.

Tika started her NaNoSweMo sweater (Selina from Rowan) out of felted tweed. 

The girls decided that finishing UFOs feels good. (Jasmin's zippy UFO boxes can be found here.)

has unearthed a pair of unfinished vanilla socks. She has used a
channel island cast-on. Gigi applies a sewing solution to knit picot
edging. (She recommends going down one needle size, do the picot row,
and then go up to the needle size that you're planning to knit the sock
on.) She is knitting it out of the Fancy Image Yarns in the "Giants" colorway.Jasmin has only been working on her Katarina sweater. She knit the sweater on US size 6 (4mm) needles (in the Tess Yarns Silk and Merino), and is knitting the collar on US size 3 (3.25mm) needles, and is excited about photographing it finished with the Designs by Romi closures.Gigi laments having no "grab and go" knitting.

She plans on knitting a pair of sparkly Mesmers.Jasmin has finished a few pairs of socks, and has picked up some new sock yarn.

Jasmin also recommends finishing off UFOs. Or, bake cookies!When Knitting Attacks: (29:12)Gigi continues to try and work her way through the "Little Box of Socks".

She likes the Jacquard dyes and the Gaywool dyes.

keep your dye pots separate from your cooking pots). Jasmin's order for
dyeing: water, dye, a drop of Dawn to break the surface tension, stir,
vinegar, add wool.Jasmin has finished washing ALL of the fleece for the Lace Gauntlet Throwdown. She has borrowed a pair of the Forsyth Wool combs and a pair of Louet Mini combs and has found the weight of the larger combs to be a slight hindrance.

Sandi and Nathania,
from Purlescence Yarns, talk about trends they saw at TNNA. Fair isle
is the new black! There are loads of new books with modern approaches
to classic techniques (like Twined Knitting, by Laura Farson). There have been technological advances to reflect this, like  the Denise interchangeable crochet set which lends itself to techniques like Tunisian Crochet (and a companion book Tunisian Crochet by Sharon Silverman). Some new books reflecting the fair isle revival include Knits from the North Sea and Norwegian Handknits. 

Not to be left out is Clara Parkes' Knitters book of Wool. 

The Knit Kit is now coming in black with white accents. Would you like to see it in a stainless steel? Let us know.
