Ep 99: Rebel Rebel you don't really match

Hello! I’m chatting about all sorts on the podcast today!MINDFUL SHAWL RE-RELEASEI released a new, improved and expanded Mindful shawl pattern last week. I’m loving the new bigger version in the pattern and feel so pleased that the writing style, charts and little techniques I’ve added make the pattern even better than before!I used beautiful Eden Cottage Titus 4ply (fingering-weight yarn). It’s a lovely Merino/silk blend perfect for shawls and available in a stunning, gentle range of colours.UNWIND YARN FESTIVALI’m so looking forward to heading back to Dunedin in March. I spent 5 very happy years in Dunedin as a student in the early 90’s and it’s always fun to go back. This time I’m heading down to teach some classes and display all my samples at Unwind. It’s a lovely festival, not too big but big enough to feel buzzing. Sign-up for Unwind and my classes (and bunch of other great classes) opens TOMORROW 1 November. Be quick to grab a spot in the classes you fancy.SKEIN SISTERS ADVENTUREI’m lucky to be off to Sydney for the last weekend of November to spend a few days at the very fabulous Skein Sisters yarn shop. I CAN’T WAIT!I’m teaching a full weekend of classes (which sold out quickly sorry!) and also will be there for knit night on Friday evening and a super fun “style session” on Saturday afternoon. Come, try on my samples and let’s talk about what you love, what suits you and how you can change things to make them perfect for you.MAKING THINGS APPThe Making Things app is a brand new, subscription based platform for knitters. Think Netflix for knitters ;)The idea is that you pay a monthly fee for access to over 1500 well-written knitting patterns from a ton of awesome designers. You can use as many as you like every month and the app includes lots of cool features like row counters, highlighters, interactive charts and a 24/7 chat line for questions. I’m having a long chat to Megan, the founder of Making Things in this weeks podcast and you’ll hear how enthusiastic she is to create a beautiful, simple to use, inspiring and exciting space for modern knitters.The payment model for designers is interesting and quite different to any we’ve had before. With Making Things designers receive payment in two ways. Firstly, through affiliate links, so we are paid a fee if someone clicks our designer link and eventually signs up to the platform (like the one I’ve got below) and secondly, every time someone uses one of our patterns in the app. I’m waiting to see how that goes over time.You can take a look at the full library before you sign up - pop in for a look. I can’t wait to hear what you think!HAPPY KNITTING!

Hey lovelies!I’m not in my usual spot. The builders are in and my house is CHAOS!STASIA’S STYLE SCHOOLI started this amazing course this week. I’ll tell you all about it when I’m finished. But, in the meantime, go follow Stasia on Instagram, check out her website and definitely make time to watch her wonderful, brand new, TED talk. It’s wonderful.FLOOZY PARTYIt was fantastic to see you last weekend! We had fun didn’t we?!Every couple of weeks I try to head down to Stitch and Bitch for their Thursday knit mornings. Will I see you there?QUINCE AND CO KESTRELI’m working on a summer top in this ribbon organic linen yarn and am finding it much easier on my hands than regular linen yarn. It might be worth a go if you suffer with tired and achy hands when you knit with plant fibres.I got my Kestrel from Skein Sisters in Sydney.See you soon! Hopefully with a new office wall?!

Ep 97: Quickie in the Chaos

I'm back from Knit August Nights and I'm a little little husky! That's what happens when you talk non-stop for 5 days!KNIT AUGUST NIGHTSI had a blast. Held every year in the last weekend of the month, it's a New Zealand yarn festival not to be missed.I teach and also have a stand with all my samples for you to try on. Next year is the 10 year anniversary! Will I see you there?FRUITY KNITTING PODCASTI was absolutely thrilled to be featured on the Fruity Knitting podcast recently! I've got a short segment in Episode 60 where I chat about 5 of my garment designs, the inspiration behind them and interesting techniques in the patterns.Andrea creates a very professional podcast, a proper TV show, full of fascinating interviews and snippets of their travels. I learn something every episode and I really enjoy catching up with people as passionate about their knitting as I am.Excitingly, I've got a special discount on all my independently published patterns just for Fruity Knitting Patrons until Midnight, Sunday 16 September, 2018. You'll have to be a Patron to get the discount.Fruity Knitting is an independent production. They don’t receive any money from YouTube ads or sponsors. At the moment, Andrea is working full time on the show including evenings and weekends. Andrew supports the production around his day job. It has become clear that this level of work is not sustainable, so their goal is to have the financial support for Andrew to work on the podcast as well. There are currently around 1700 patrons.Head over to their website to find out how to become a Patron. There are different tiers of support you can sign up to, but basically, Patrons agree to a regular monthly contribution, starting at $5 per month (which is around $2.50 per episode). There is a small processing fee, and Andrea and Andrew pay tax, but most of your money goes directly towards supporting the Fruity Knitting Podcast. You can change or stop your payments at any time.What will you get? Andrea and Andrew have worked out some "rewards" to show their gratitude for your support.  There are lots of behind the scenes discounts, interviews, chats and more. And, you also get to know that as a Patron you are keeping the Fruity Knitting on air, and that's great too.FLOOZY PARTY!Floozy madness has been so good! I'm loving seeing all your Floozy cardigans grow (have you joined the knit-along?!)Our next exciting event in the Floozy calendar is a party!

Ep 91: Tour of my Workspace

Truly Myrtle is a fun podcast for knitters. Grab a cuppa and your knitting &amp; curl up for a chat about knitting, making and everything going on at Truly Myrtle

Libby is terrific! She is so real and so entertaining. 
One of the best podcasts around.

So entertaining

I absolutely love Libby! I started following her on her YouTube channel when she had the video podcast and was totally bummed when I heard she wasn&#39;t going to pay anymore videos. When she announced that she was going to continue in audio only it made me a little nervous especially because I consider myself a visual person. But when I heard her first audio podcast I was automatically hooked again! 

Her voice is so wonderful to listen to and I just love her accent! I can listen to her talk ALL DAY! (Which I actually did since I&#39;ve missed a few of her episodes and wanted to catch up. Lol)

Her suggestions for other podcasts are wonderful and her new interview section of the podcast is illuminating. I&#39;ve also noticed I&#39;m getting more knitting done since I&#39;m listening and not watching. Lol! Looking forward to her upcoming episodes in the New Year. Thanks Libby!

I love her!

Ep 78: WOODS! a book review & giveaway!

Hello! It's lovely to be back :)I've had an eventful couple of weeks - full of yarn festivals, teaching, stashing new yarn and dyeing up a storm!There's definitely a feeling of change and new adventures in the air. And, I think it's true the world over - just as we're heading into warmer weather, the Northern hemisphere is cooling down. Helen Stewart at Curious Handmade Podcast is feeling the same in the UK.Oh my goodness KAN was a blast - there were around 250 people at Knit August Nights Knitting Retreat in Napier, NZ this year. I taught a class on Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed trying shawls on everyone in m stall for the rest of the weekend. I'll be back next year - will you join me?!I splurged on lots of new yarn to fill up my design stash :)Superstar from Vintage Purls just might be the perfect cardigan yarn yetI grabbed a couple of edible "ice cream sundae" skeins from Spinning A YarnTo my surprise my Big Dotty patterns sold out! It's put me in the mood for more big cosy wrapsI brought home three skeins of fantastic aran yarn from Maniototo - remember I interviewed Mary in Episode 25?Happy Go Knitty yarn is always a treat and I stocked up on her beautiful Silk/MerinoI'm so looking forward to a new Rock n' roll wrap with the grunge yarn I bought from Jo at Meraki StudiosAnd, of course I had to buy "just a little bit more" from Eden Cottage when I got home - perfect English colourwaysWhat a treat to receive my yarn swap from Norway! I love the Selbu Spinneri &amp; Huldra I was givenWe're still knitting away on our Lisette shawls in the Ravelry group - come join in! The KAL finishes at the end of the month.As usual, my theme song is by the very talented Mr RoberelliHave a happy weekend!

Truly Myrtle Podcast: Episode 32 - A Great Big Catch Up & New Stash

 Welcome to the Truly Myrtle podcast!In episode 56 I'm chatting about my mood board, I'm looking for a structure for my capsule wardrobe and I'm sharing some resources to figure out our style.Do you want a podcast link and show notes sent to your email box every week? Sign up here!Come and join the Ravelry thread to join in the Capsule Wardrobe Adventure chatter.MOOD BOARDI mentioned Tui birds - they are one of my favourites of the NZ native birds with such a glorious call.I really like Hahnemühle Sketch &amp; Note books - they're made from lovely art paper, come in packs of 2 and are very reasonable. I use the A4 size.FINDING STRUCTURE FOR YOUR CAPSULEThe most well-known way to structure a capsule wardrobe is probably Project 333. Thirty three items of clothing for 3 months. It sounds like a neat way to roll with the changing seasons.I'm drawn to the Sudoku method promoted by Colleen Hammond. Sixteen items that can all mix and match to create 10 coordinated outfits. Here's the basic template.Lucky Lucille (Rochelle New) has been working on her #makenine for the last few years. Check out #2017makenine on instagram to see what nine items people are working on this year.FINDING YOUR STYLEI thoroughly enjoyed Carol Tuttle's course Live Your Truth and learned a lot about myself.  I discovered I'm a type 3 and it was liberating to hear my embarrassing quirks are very normal traits of a type 3 ;)Recently I've been following Stasia (Stay-sha) Savasuk from thriftmepretty.com. Her enthusiasm is infectious and I really enjoy her layered, bouncy but feminine style. She runs courses to help you find your style too.Thanks for listening!Have a great weekend,Love Lib xxx
