Hi Cat!
Just saw the podcast. Great as usual!
I am only just starting to try a few simple lace designs. I’m one of those chart hating people! I have issues with eye tracking. For that reason I doubt I will ever do very complex lace but I love watching the design come out in my knitting.
Have a great time at Rhinebeck and I hope you have lots of people come to the meetup.
Best,
Trish
thank you so much for this, it comes just in time. I was at stitches last week and I have got everything to begin my first shawl project. Now I think I’m really ready. Your explanation of the stitches are helpful.cc
Hi Cat! Great podcast for those of us who love lace! I enjoyed meeting you at Rhinebeck yesterday ( I was wearing my light blue lace column of leaves sweater!). It was a perfect day. Hope you had a great time.Your Clapotis was really gorgeous.
Hey! I was one of the people interviewed for your podcast at Rhinebeck! I had on the pink and green Clapotis and was admiring yours. Can’t wait to see if I make the cut for the podcast.
Hey Cat, I just wanted to say I love your podcast, and I reviewed it on my blog. I tried knitting with beads after seeing it on your podcast, but it didn’t turn out so well (Kitty apparantly likes wire more than he does yarn).
Just wanted to thank you for the inspiration. Also, your first episode is the best explanation of the Magic Loop I’ve ever seen!
Love the show – you are so inspiring, Cat!
Dear Cat, I so very much enjoyed this, I watched it 3 times! I have a question. What if you want to convert a lace pattern to knit in the round, like you did with your socks? Do I have to change the pattern to make it work in circ knitting?
Also I think your work is definitely ExQUISITE!
many blessings
