Pipeliner Notes
Welcome to our newest Pipeliners who have said hello to us
on the Welcome thread or to me in a personal message. Monica who is monica in
IL, schmoopily who is Liana from CA, and lemongirlie who is Brenda. Remember to introduce yourself in the Welcome
thread if you are new so I can recognize you on the show.
Thank you for your star ratings and reviews on iTunes.
Video: The Sister Episode. My sister came for a visit. Thank
you to everyone who has watched and commented. We have a lot of similar
mannerisms. YouTube…if you watch on your phone the comments are way down on the
screen so you have to scroll down to see them.

You said something in the podcast about a “knoot” (i apologiize for spelling). What the heck is a “Knoot”? I probably heard it wrong, but if you could clarify i would truly appreciate ir I LOVE the podcast!

That’s a great question, Kathy. I should have clarified. A
nupp is in traditional Estonian knitting. It is a cluster of stitches that
looks somewhat like a bobble but is made differently.
From Jan/DavisJan58
Hi Paula, I listened to this podcast today and as always, I loved
it. I have wanted to give a rating or review in the past but have always been
so busy. I always thought I will do that sometime. I had time today but could
not figure out how to do this. I listen to podcasts through the podcast app on
my phone. Do you know if there is a way to do this there?
My children are grown and so far no grandchildren but I will have to save that Odette Hoodie pattern for someday or find a baby to knit for!
Thank you so much for your wonderful podcasts.

I do not know whether other podcast apps
allow you to leave reviews. Help, anyone?
Tranquil
Mist by Cindy Garland. Yes, I frogged it!
Lesson learned: What is a lifeline? It is a string or holder
that you run through the whole row of your work so if you have to frog (or unravel
back), the stitches won’t drop down. Use hole that some needles have or use a
tapestry needle and weave through, without going through ring markers. I
usually have put in the lifeline on a resting row. The main thing I don’t like
about lifelines is knitting the row after the lifeline. Now I insert the
lifeline on pattern row rather than resting row. This makes it easier to knit
the row after the lifeline.
Events
Links to retreats and registration materials are in the Knitting
Pipeline Retreats Group on Ravelry. There is also a sticky

From Jo:
We want to encourage
everyone to participate in the Boards a little more, and to that end we will be
hosting a discussion and giveaway thread.
The heading at the top
of this thread shows the number of VOICES or individuals who comment. A prize
will be awarded by RNG at the end of September for every 50 voices
participating. 200 Voices? At least 4 prizes.
Topics we’d like to
see are:
-what is making you grateful now?
-what are you excited about in your knitting at the moment?
-what is your favorite thing about Fall?
-have you recently had a knitting success or failure that you want to share?

Let’s
get this party started! I especially hope we will hear from some folks who
generally don’t post a lot, so we can get to know you, as well as the “usual
suspects”!
Chat
is ok in this thread, let’s cheer each other on!
Thank you, Jo!
The Bookshelf KAL will run from August 1st to
October 31st.
Needle Notes
Odette Hoodie
by Carrie Bostick Hoge
Making tags for the sweaters. Where do you put tags? Cardigans:
I usually put on side “seam”.
Slightly felted wool. Embroidered her name. Used blue painter’s
tape to make straight lines. Ok if a little wonky. I like that. Blanket stitch
to sew to sweater. Favorite embroidery thread is Valencia and Presencia.
Leaf Top Baby
Hat smaller size by Susan B Anderson from Kindred Knits
Finished top differently. Made one stem and then proceeded
with leaves as pattern indicates. Pulled all ends through stem and knotted it.
Inside of hat. I knotted the wad of ends and left them. |

Gusset Mitten by Purl Soho
Arched
Gusset #1 See Project notes.
Did not care for instructions for top of mitten so used my
old stand-by similar to the top of a hat. Divided stitches into 4 segments with
markers. Knit to m, k2 tog, slip m. Next round, knit. Repeat these two rounds
until each segment has half the original number of stitches. Then decrease on
every row until there are 4 sts. Run yarn through loops.
Thumb seemed short to me so I lengthened it on the larger
size. I have small hands and thumb was too short for me and so I figured that
anyone whose hand fit the mitten would have a problem with it.
Tip:
Print pattern without all the photos…keep some of them. PrintFriendly.com.
Instructions for separating thumb stitches a little
confusing to me so I needed at least one photo to get that straight in my head.
Arched
Gusset #2 Small size—fits me.
Malabrigo Worsted Stone Blue
US 5 (3.75 mm) need tight gauge for mittens.
PrairiePiper’s
Norwegian Fir Cardigan See Project Notes
I used Quince & Co
Chickadee in Carrie’s Yellow colorway.
I used scraps of wool for keeping track of the raglan
increases. Ring markers don’t work well because they have to be moved. The
scraps of wool need to be moved also but you can just lift the ends up and over
without moving the whole thing.
I worked the sleeves flat and seamed with mattress stitch.
This was easier and quicker for me than purling every other round on dpns.
Seems a little large to me but she will grow into it. Very sweet
cardigan that combines two of my favorite things, garter stitch and lace.
