WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.819 I'm Drea. I'm Meg. I'm Tina. And I'm Jess. And 00:00:03.819 --> 00:00:13.740 this is Pardon My Stash. Welcome to Pardon 00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:15.660 My Stash, a podcast about crafting within the 00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:18.820 fiber arts and how awesome it is. Yeah. Before 00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:22.420 we get into today's topics, let's check out what 00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:27.320 we're working on this week, guys. Jess. I'm still 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.359 doing the cat sweater. Are you? Cat knit pullover 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:35.600 sweater. Yes. I'm almost to the final increase 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.619 row though. And then I've got like nine more 00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:41.719 rows and then I'm done with the color work. And 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:43.359 I don't know if that's good or bad, honestly, 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.539 because then it's just the same color going and 00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:50.149 going. But I am getting there. oh yeah i mean 00:00:50.149 --> 00:00:52.649 it is coming along it is and they're super cute 00:00:52.649 --> 00:00:55.490 and i'm sad that i'm just like you have almost 00:00:55.490 --> 00:00:57.909 full cats on this on this project i don't know 00:00:57.909 --> 00:00:59.909 why i'm having such issues with it but i am but 00:00:59.909 --> 00:01:02.289 i did also find another color work project that 00:01:02.289 --> 00:01:06.010 i'm like that looks cool so maybe that'll have 00:01:06.010 --> 00:01:09.430 me finish this one legitimately so i can start 00:01:09.430 --> 00:01:11.329 another one that i'm gonna have the same problem 00:01:11.329 --> 00:01:15.359 with probably but persevere I'm gonna persevere. 00:01:15.659 --> 00:01:20.579 It's getting there. Oh, I'm using Critical Hit 00:01:20.579 --> 00:01:25.659 Die Sorcerer in the colors Embers and Displacer. 00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:32.049 Beautiful. Dana? I am working on... The high 00:01:32.049 --> 00:01:34.870 -vis beanie because this is, I think, the only 00:01:34.870 --> 00:01:38.109 beanie I have left in my whips because I finished. 00:01:38.170 --> 00:01:40.909 You are working through them. I am. I don't know 00:01:40.909 --> 00:01:43.049 why. I think I just am trying to avoid everything 00:01:43.049 --> 00:01:49.629 else in my life. Damn. Fair. The colors are neon 00:01:49.629 --> 00:01:52.810 yellow and neon orange in like a DK weight. So 00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:54.989 I did finish the northward beanie, which is what 00:01:54.989 --> 00:01:56.890 I was, I think it was what I was working on last 00:01:56.890 --> 00:01:59.689 time. It was. By Tin Can Knits. It's beautiful. 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.659 colorway sugar maple by sugar maple fibers in 00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:07.319 single ply bulky and it's very cute it is very 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.699 you may touch it it's a little damp it's very 00:02:09.699 --> 00:02:12.979 it's very fall it's it feels like it's gonna 00:02:12.979 --> 00:02:15.379 be really cozy though yes like it's a little 00:02:15.379 --> 00:02:17.860 damp still but it feels like it's gonna be cozy 00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:21.439 oh that is nice look at you blocking okay but 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.860 i had to for both of these because they were 00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:26.030 very small when i finished them And did that 00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:28.389 fix it? It bloomed very nicely. The northward 00:02:28.389 --> 00:02:32.770 was not even going over part of my head. And 00:02:32.770 --> 00:02:34.830 then when I blocked it, now it's nice and fitted. 00:02:35.009 --> 00:02:37.550 It's got nice plump cables, too. I do like that. 00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:43.229 Your cables are beautiful. Meg? So I am still 00:02:43.229 --> 00:02:47.710 working on Winter Light by Meg Gadsby. Jess did, 00:02:47.810 --> 00:02:51.330 since last episode, Jess did take a look at my 00:02:51.330 --> 00:02:55.289 Siree sweater. Yeah, I did. After I nagged. And 00:02:55.289 --> 00:02:58.870 she helped me figure out what I had to do. And 00:02:58.870 --> 00:03:00.530 I was torn on which project I was going to work 00:03:00.530 --> 00:03:02.969 on tonight. But I was inspired by a shout out 00:03:02.969 --> 00:03:06.449 to Jen on Instagram who said that, quote, the 00:03:06.449 --> 00:03:10.370 project monogamy is and then did the clap emoji. 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.379 So I'm going to stick with the project monogamy 00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:17.719 of the project that I've been working on. So 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.080 good. That is good peer pressure right there. 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.000 It was real good. Thank you, Jen. Because I really 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.979 was ready to go jump back to the sweater. But 00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:28.800 I'm like, you know what? I am. I'm so close. 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.759 You are so close. I'm so close to being done. 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.240 It looks so good. With this shawl. Like that 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.400 fade is beautiful. I'm working on it in fiber 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.960 optics gradient in Texas blue bonnets. I don't 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.099 have a lot of yarn left, so we're getting there. 00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:48.520 Nice. So I don't know if I will completely stick 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.819 with it until it is done, but I am trying really 00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:54.419 hard to stick with it until it is done. I really 00:03:54.419 --> 00:03:56.180 want to finish the project. Meg, I believe in 00:03:56.180 --> 00:03:59.300 you. I believe in me, too. You can do this. Thank 00:03:59.300 --> 00:04:02.689 you. Let me tell you, finishing one, once I finished 00:04:02.689 --> 00:04:04.830 the cocoa, I was like, I'm finishing this northward. 00:04:04.889 --> 00:04:06.930 Right. And for the first time in a very long 00:04:06.930 --> 00:04:09.150 time, I pulled out my knitting while I was sitting 00:04:09.150 --> 00:04:12.409 and watching TV, which for me is a big deal because 00:04:12.409 --> 00:04:14.530 I've really been only knitting with you guys. 00:04:14.770 --> 00:04:17.329 Yeah. But it's a high. And then you want to keep 00:04:17.329 --> 00:04:20.089 chasing it. Finish it. I know. Finish it. I will 00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:22.870 feel that. I really want to. And again, I know 00:04:22.870 --> 00:04:25.769 we talk about. A lot like it's not about like 00:04:25.769 --> 00:04:27.550 the quantity that you finish or anything like 00:04:27.550 --> 00:04:31.529 that. I get it. But for my own personal edification. 00:04:31.949 --> 00:04:34.269 Only because you're so close. Right. I want to 00:04:34.269 --> 00:04:36.769 finish something. I will be very happy when I 00:04:36.769 --> 00:04:40.449 finish something. Drea. I finished the happy 00:04:40.449 --> 00:04:43.810 turtle pattern. He's very cute. He is super cute. 00:04:44.050 --> 00:04:47.720 Look at how big his eyes are and how. floppy 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.720 i like his floppy i like his floppy little flippers 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.839 yeah he's cute yeah it's definitely an upgrade 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.120 from uh the turtle pattern that i was doing from 00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.000 that which is also cute but yeah i don't know 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.160 the floppy flippers the kit was a good start 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.180 but now they're getting a little bit more involved 00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:08.639 and i like i love that for me yeah he's very 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.240 very cute he is very cute i have started another 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.290 happy turtle pattern I'm telling you, when you 00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:17.189 feel like it, look up Crafty Intentions because 00:05:17.189 --> 00:05:20.990 she has a ton of little creatures and they're 00:05:20.990 --> 00:05:24.350 lots of fun. Let me tell you what released today. 00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:27.389 What released today? I am going to be making 00:05:27.389 --> 00:05:31.439 this. Okay. I am very excited. Oh, my God. It 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.779 is a BLT Rex. BLT Rex. That's amazing. I thought 00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:38.379 it was a taco at first. She has a Tacosaurus, 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.899 too. That's great. Also good. Yes. Fantastic. 00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:46.579 And that's a pattern by Croutons Crochet. And 00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:49.019 if you have not checked out her and her patterns, 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.319 man. That's cute. She's got a lot of, like, food 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.100 animals. How do you choose one? You can't. I 00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:59.519 mean, once you start with a Bananasaurus, it's 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.240 only inevitable that you end up with a BLT -saurus. 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.180 Truth. It's true. Slippery slope. She's also 00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:09.519 got a Piceratops. Oh, my God. Oh. I need that 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.339 one just with a name. I know. It's. It is super 00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:16.879 cute. They're all super cute. I bet. So I'm going 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.420 to be working through probably her entire series 00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:22.800 of food animals. As you do. As I do. With turtles 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.360 on the side because I am really enjoying this 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.139 happy turtle pattern. It's a great pattern. As 00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:33.899 always, big twist, baby bear. Happy turtle pattern 00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:38.629 by Happy Turtle Crochet. By the way, because 00:06:38.629 --> 00:06:41.990 everyone keeps reminding me on Yarn Saver, Big 00:06:41.990 --> 00:06:47.050 Twist IP got picked up by Michaels. Certain IPs. 00:06:47.110 --> 00:06:49.949 So I don't know which one Michaels is going to 00:06:49.949 --> 00:06:52.449 have and which one Herschners is going to have. 00:06:52.569 --> 00:06:55.329 Like, I don't know how the split's going. But 00:06:55.329 --> 00:06:57.850 that means I don't think Herschners was going 00:06:57.850 --> 00:07:00.870 to pick a baby bear. So I'm hoping Michaels is 00:07:00.870 --> 00:07:02.990 going to pick a baby bear because their original 00:07:02.990 --> 00:07:04.990 one that they tried to do with loops and threads 00:07:04.990 --> 00:07:07.329 that was supposed to be a competitor to is crap. 00:07:07.329 --> 00:07:09.810 It's not as good. It's crap. I have purchased 00:07:09.810 --> 00:07:13.069 it. It is not my favorite. So I think they're 00:07:13.069 --> 00:07:15.170 trying to basically take the IP for the formula 00:07:15.170 --> 00:07:18.990 and then rebrand it as that. Man, I hope so. 00:07:19.189 --> 00:07:21.069 Because I don't think they're necessary. I think 00:07:21.069 --> 00:07:23.980 they got the... intellectual property to to take 00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:27.279 the like fiber content and like make the blend 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:29.740 but i don't think they're gonna put it out as 00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:33.240 big twist baby bear so we'll have to see what 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.540 happens michaels is advertising a lot about when 00:07:36.540 --> 00:07:38.959 we went there a couple what was it like two weeks 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.480 ago two weeks ago and they had signs up saying 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.800 like i don't know i don't think they said big 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.730 twist but mentioning the joe like buying out 00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:50.230 some of the joanne's yarn so yeah yeah they definitely 00:07:50.230 --> 00:07:52.449 they definitely didn't buy all of them but i 00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:54.610 want to say that they bought the remainder because 00:07:54.610 --> 00:07:57.089 they had pre -sold a couple to like herschners 00:07:57.089 --> 00:08:00.550 and like other places but um it i mean it makes 00:08:00.550 --> 00:08:03.170 sense it's not going away hey yeah i hope not 00:08:03.170 --> 00:08:06.329 yeah well yeah and so if you were looking for 00:08:06.329 --> 00:08:08.949 it hopefully it comes out in a very similar fashion 00:08:08.949 --> 00:08:11.310 especially if they have the recipe for it so 00:08:11.310 --> 00:08:16.949 um that's good we're going to try something a 00:08:16.949 --> 00:08:20.250 little bit new moving forward we're going to 00:08:20.250 --> 00:08:24.129 introduce a new segment just a little ask us 00:08:24.129 --> 00:08:27.610 some stuff maybe we'll answer our first question 00:08:27.610 --> 00:08:33.529 that has run across our desks how does one block 00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:37.889 a dragon slash alligator scale stitch bag pitched 00:08:37.889 --> 00:08:43.370 by winter's eve 86 jess sincere I think I'm the 00:08:43.370 --> 00:08:46.610 only one that's made a dragon stitch bag. No, 00:08:46.690 --> 00:08:52.769 I'm just kidding. So full disclosure, I did not 00:08:52.769 --> 00:08:58.269 block mine, any of mine at all. I find that once 00:08:58.269 --> 00:09:00.850 you fill them with enough stuff, they stretch 00:09:00.850 --> 00:09:03.429 the way you want them to. And if they don't... 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.759 It needs more stuff. I can see where that's an 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.419 issue. So what you can do, depending on what 00:09:10.419 --> 00:09:13.279 you used, honestly, a steam block is kind of 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.000 your best bet just to loosen up the yarn a bit 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:21.720 and let it rest. I have seen people put like 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.159 a balloon in the bag and then like blow up a 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.159 balloon inside the bag to get it to a shape so 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.159 it will keep that shape while it sets and then 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.740 you pop the balloon and... That's ingenious. 00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:38.480 Let it do it. But yeah, mine, I was like, nah, 00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:42.159 I like the way these look, and they were good. 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.759 But yeah, that would probably be best bet on 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:49.600 to do it. You probably could full soak and block 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.220 it. It'd be kind of flat. You'd want to do one 00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:54.519 side, pull them a little bit, flip it over, and 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.500 do the other side. You can't really pin it. It's 00:09:57.500 --> 00:09:59.379 okay. Sometimes blocking is overrated. Don't 00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:01.460 forget that. All right, and we have time for 00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:05.580 one more. This one has come from Chicken Nuggets. 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.039 If you could only knit one pattern for the rest 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:12.299 of your life, what would it be? That's a big 00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:16.700 oof. It is. But you know what? I think my answer 00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:20.840 is going to depend on entirely when you're asking 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.059 me. Because if this was like 10 years ago, Drea, 00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:28.080 it would be Sunday Swing. But if you're asking 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:34.500 today, Drea, it's Happy Turtles. Oh, God. So 00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:37.440 it has to be a specific pattern, huh? That's 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.840 a tough one. One pattern. I would think so. I 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.620 would think, yeah. I probably would make... I 00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:48.139 really enjoyed the French can can. That was so 00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:49.600 good. And the only reason why I'm going to say 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.019 the French can can is because I could do it now. 00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:55.059 It has simple parts that I could do in front 00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:57.500 of a TV show. And then it has a complicated enough 00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:00.840 part that would keep me interested. And if I 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.299 got to a point older in my life where I deal 00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:06.220 with pain in my hands and stuff, and I feel like 00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:10.539 I could still do that pattern in a disabled capacity, 00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:13.879 like I might be able to still knit that. So I'll 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.500 say the French can can. It's a good one, though. 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.379 I've also made the French can can. And it's a 00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:22.740 it's a really good project. Do you know yours? 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.740 No, I'd die. I would be so angry with the decision 00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:31.080 that I would just never knit again. That's true. 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.039 That's fair. Absolutely. I feel like that's what 00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:35.860 would happen. I would stare at the pattern and 00:11:35.860 --> 00:11:39.889 be like, no, I don't want to do this again. I'm 00:11:39.889 --> 00:11:41.950 trying to think of anything I've done more than 00:11:41.950 --> 00:11:45.389 once. The dragon stitch bag. That's I think the 00:11:45.389 --> 00:11:48.289 only thing that I've ever seen you do. Multiple. 00:11:48.629 --> 00:11:52.289 Multiple times. Yeah. Everything else, like you've 00:11:52.289 --> 00:11:57.769 done incarnations of a similar nature, but not 00:11:57.769 --> 00:12:01.909 exactly the same. Yeah. Because I was, I'm going 00:12:01.909 --> 00:12:03.730 through it. I'm like, did I do? I'm like, no. 00:12:04.110 --> 00:12:07.029 Even when I do the multiple dragons, they've 00:12:07.029 --> 00:12:10.539 all been different. Yeah. That is true. They've 00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:12.500 all been different. Some of them have used the 00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:14.580 same arms and legs but different but like I've 00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:18.799 changed everything. Because I'm awful. I'd die. 00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:22.039 Okay. Maybe phrase it this way. You could use 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.419 the same pattern but you can customize it at 00:12:24.419 --> 00:12:27.019 free will. Right? Like I would. Still turtles. 00:12:27.379 --> 00:12:30.059 Yeah. I mean that's a good point. Yeah. Because 00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:32.620 you're not pulling from another pattern. Like 00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:35.000 your cocoa bean. Yeah. It's the same pattern. 00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:38.240 Yeah. And I added a pearl row for no reason. 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.000 And that wasn't from another pattern. So if you 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.600 could embellish it. Yeah. So if you could customize 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:46.259 it. Dragon tapestry. Oh, that's a good point. 00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:49.379 Yeah. You could change up the color work. Yeah. 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.600 Yeah. That's a good one. just just throwing a 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.259 bone to jess because like i'm like thinking otherwise 00:12:56.259 --> 00:12:58.720 this one's a no i'm like going i'm like i don't 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.379 think i've ever done i was just feeling the misery 00:13:01.379 --> 00:13:05.860 the same pattern ever yeah even the dragon stitch 00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:09.840 bag uh i've done it's the dragon stitch i've 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:12.019 done it in different ways yeah like different 00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:16.830 sizes different amounts of scales meg I honestly 00:13:16.830 --> 00:13:20.450 thought about this one a lot and mine would be 00:13:20.450 --> 00:13:23.110 From Summer to Fall by Lea Michele Designs. And 00:13:23.110 --> 00:13:27.789 the reasoning being that it is, it's got a couple 00:13:27.789 --> 00:13:30.169 of different stitch techniques in it. So, you 00:13:30.169 --> 00:13:33.149 know, you're switching it up and it requires 00:13:33.149 --> 00:13:35.730 three skeins of yarn and the color combinations 00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:40.149 would be endless. I love finding skeins that 00:13:40.149 --> 00:13:44.710 match or that complement each other. And I would 00:13:44.710 --> 00:13:48.309 have a whole wardrobe of these extremely versatile 00:13:48.309 --> 00:13:52.309 shawls. That's fair. Right. So I would literally 00:13:52.309 --> 00:13:55.190 just make different color combinations until 00:13:55.190 --> 00:13:57.669 the end of time. That'd be mine. I respect that. 00:13:58.950 --> 00:14:01.210 I've been dying to make another one. So I do 00:14:01.210 --> 00:14:03.990 that. Turtles, tapestries and shawls. Love it. 00:14:04.409 --> 00:14:10.409 As it be. I love that for us. As one do. All 00:14:10.409 --> 00:14:13.299 right. Into our main topic, and I've put a lot 00:14:13.299 --> 00:14:15.259 of thought into this this week. I'm very excited 00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:21.220 to present to you yarn jobs that should exist 00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:23.840 in the world. They don't have to be practical, 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:31.399 but man, they should be fun. Wait, fun for the 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.159 person doing them? Or fun for me benefiting from 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:37.820 the person doing them? Yes. Okay. All of that. 00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:44.830 Because, yeah. I think it would be a lot of fun. 00:14:45.070 --> 00:14:48.269 Also, just so you know, all of these jobs that 00:14:48.269 --> 00:14:52.169 we are going to pitch today, in our fantasy world, 00:14:52.309 --> 00:14:57.690 these are all high -paying, top -tier. You can 00:14:57.690 --> 00:14:59.889 pay your mortgage. You can pay that daycare. 00:15:00.169 --> 00:15:03.049 You can pay your healthcare bills. It's all paid, 00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:08.529 guys. Highly desired, well -paying jobs. Extensive 00:15:08.529 --> 00:15:15.320 training required. Fully paid and free. Makes 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:20.220 sense of training. Because, yes. Benefits. Oh, 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.120 Lord, I hope so. Treat yourself. May I present 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:31.279 to you the yarn sommelier. Ooh. Hang on. I closed 00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.799 my notes. Well, honestly, that should be a thing. 00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:40.169 It should be a thing. It's very realistic. Think 00:15:40.169 --> 00:15:45.269 of it. You compare your mood, your beverages, 00:15:45.570 --> 00:15:51.929 the situation that you find yourself in life, 00:15:52.029 --> 00:15:56.909 your existential crises. You compare everything 00:15:56.909 --> 00:16:01.350 with the perfect yarn. That's fair. That is fair. 00:16:02.029 --> 00:16:04.029 And sometimes it's really hard to tell what you 00:16:04.029 --> 00:16:07.639 need for all of those things. You may think it's 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.779 better to do like a more complicated project 00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:12.440 or even an easier project, but that's maybe not 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.860 the case. Yeah. I just have this visual of this 00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:20.799 like really well -dressed fancy person holding 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.720 like a tablet. And as you answer things, they're 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:27.500 like entering in things. So it helps their formula. 00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:29.659 And then they kind of look through the list and 00:16:29.659 --> 00:16:32.279 they're like, I got it. And then they just go 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:34.480 through all the racks and pull out this one skate. 00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:38.230 And the person's like. Are you feeling some existential 00:16:38.230 --> 00:16:42.309 overwhelm? Might I suggest a nice alpaca silk 00:16:42.309 --> 00:16:46.929 blend? Is that how you fix existential overwhelm? 00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:49.269 I mean, it's not how we do it, but it's probably 00:16:49.269 --> 00:16:53.090 how she does it. It's ethereal. It's soft. You 00:16:53.090 --> 00:16:55.950 can disappear into delicate stitches and a soothing 00:16:55.950 --> 00:16:59.590 drape. I'm sorry. The visual I just got was like 00:16:59.590 --> 00:17:02.490 going through a divorce, having some super washed 00:17:02.490 --> 00:17:06.049 merino wool. It's versatile and it will get you 00:17:06.049 --> 00:17:09.529 through anything. Truth. Yes. Truth be told. 00:17:09.650 --> 00:17:13.329 Yes. Do you need to channel some rage into some 00:17:13.329 --> 00:17:18.150 knitting or crafting? Might I suggest some chunky 00:17:18.150 --> 00:17:21.029 wool? Some super bulky. Yeah. You don't want 00:17:21.029 --> 00:17:24.029 anybody getting delicate with that. No. No. You 00:17:24.029 --> 00:17:30.369 don't want it. It's fast. It's tactile. Oh, you're 00:17:30.369 --> 00:17:32.970 feeling really, really murderous? Might I suggest 00:17:32.970 --> 00:17:38.150 some felting? Oh, yes. Stab away. I have a nice 00:17:38.150 --> 00:17:43.210 felting kit for you, madame monsieur. Stab away. 00:17:43.230 --> 00:17:47.529 Stab away all of your problems. Oh, God. That's 00:17:47.529 --> 00:17:50.980 funny. Are you looking for some comfort? Might 00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:55.799 I suggest a cotton bamboo blend? Worsted weight. 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.660 It's breathable. It's soft on the skin. It's 00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:03.440 gentle on your hands. And it's a thicker weight, 00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:05.279 so you won't make as much mistakes while you're 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:07.720 crying through your project. Exactly. Absorbent. 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:15.480 Absorbent. Oh, God. I mean, that's a good, it's 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.740 a good point. Like, alternatively, a yarn sommelier 00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:24.119 is in theory so well trained that they can either 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:29.279 help you or they can also hinder you. Wait, so 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.740 like evil sommeliers? There could be an evil 00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:33.700 sommelier. Like, I thought about this because 00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:37.160 I was like, man, like if I'm having existential 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:42.180 overwhelm. Can you imagine if the suggestion 00:18:42.180 --> 00:18:45.900 to me was like lace weight? Here, do this lace 00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:50.400 weight shawl with 5 ,000 stitch repeats. No. 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:54.380 I found some really nice Peruvian highland wool. 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.160 Pure. No. See, if I were an evil sommelier, I 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:05.579 would pair that for somebody who was channeling 00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:09.420 some intense rage. Or someone looking for comfort. 00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:15.700 Well, for the rage victim. Sorry, for the rage 00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:21.500 person. Victim. Oh, okay. Okay, so is this like... 00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:25.359 It's also hurting you. So it's just like helping 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.440 you channel your rage even more. Like, I'm just 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:32.079 saying. Are these jobs or super villains? Yes. 00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:36.359 Okay. I thought about this way too long this 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.299 week. Okay, I see that. I looked for an upside 00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:44.039 and a downside. Okay. Well, yeah, I mean, practically 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.700 speaking, not super villain murderous wise. I 00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:49.160 like I could see like a yarn sommelier might 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:51.420 put me off particularly because I hate being 00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:54.940 told what I need. Yeah. Not what to do. Just 00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:58.819 what I need. Like, you don't know me. Even if 00:19:58.819 --> 00:20:02.200 you are correct, you don't know me. I feel like 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.000 that's the kind of job where you wait for someone 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.420 to approach you. Yes. And ask your services. 00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:10.920 You're not going around like a. like you're trying 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.720 to be psychic like oh I can see that you're channeling 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.599 some intense feelings and I'm gonna push this 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:20.740 yarn on you like so I sense the Pisces in your 00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:24.240 chart like no please don't yeah I feel like that's 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.480 that's not that's not the kind of pushy salesperson 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.119 job you want to have no that's no definitely 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:31.900 I mean if you're going to a high -paid sommelier 00:20:32.509 --> 00:20:34.630 It should be a service that you want. Yeah, if 00:20:34.630 --> 00:20:36.569 you are going to the event and that's what you're 00:20:36.569 --> 00:20:39.569 expecting and you seek them out. The Yarn Sommelier 00:20:39.569 --> 00:20:42.910 has its own office. This will not be at the common 00:20:42.910 --> 00:20:45.930 yarn shop. I see. You will not find the Yarn 00:20:45.930 --> 00:20:47.970 Sommelier at your local yarn store. There's like 00:20:47.970 --> 00:20:51.009 a yarn lounge. Yes. You have to go to the high 00:20:51.009 --> 00:20:53.009 end. I really wish there was a yarn... Anyway. 00:20:56.029 --> 00:20:59.349 Oh, God. They have like an in -place daycare 00:20:59.349 --> 00:21:01.410 where they can take the kids and wash them for 00:21:01.410 --> 00:21:04.049 you. While you go to the yarn sommelier. While 00:21:04.049 --> 00:21:06.849 you get an hour of uninterrupted knitting or 00:21:06.849 --> 00:21:08.809 crochet or whatever project you want to work 00:21:08.809 --> 00:21:11.970 on. Why not? I would pay like 50 bucks for that. 00:21:12.069 --> 00:21:14.430 Heck yeah. 100 bucks. Hell, I'd pay 200 bucks. 00:21:14.430 --> 00:21:16.369 Take my wallet. Just give me the freaking hour. 00:21:18.369 --> 00:21:22.609 Oh, God. Meg, you have told me several times 00:21:22.609 --> 00:21:26.069 now that you have. a yarn job that you wanted 00:21:26.069 --> 00:21:29.950 to share it's not it's not fun it's not fun um 00:21:29.950 --> 00:21:31.869 this would have to be quite high paying and i 00:21:31.869 --> 00:21:36.329 don't know how it would be possible um the job 00:21:36.329 --> 00:21:41.950 would be inspecting all hanks for knots before 00:21:41.950 --> 00:21:44.849 they're wound so that when i put them on a swift 00:21:44.849 --> 00:21:50.589 i do not get yarn bar okay but to be fair We 00:21:50.589 --> 00:21:53.349 need that. That would be, that would make my 00:21:53.349 --> 00:21:57.150 whole crafting existence. If that were a thing, 00:21:57.329 --> 00:21:59.710 if, if there was some, and this is not a possible 00:21:59.710 --> 00:22:01.710 job, I realize this is pie in the sky insanity, 00:22:01.710 --> 00:22:08.740 but. Yeah but I want it Same The amount of cursing 00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:11.579 I do when I'm Doing the swift and all of a sudden 00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:14.920 it's You know you get that tangled mess Where 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.599 somehow it Went underneath a yarn And now it 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.519 just won't It wrapped the wrong way or I mean 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.480 I would love a curator To check the skeins And 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.980 make sure that doesn't happen Again I want that 00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:34.650 I know it's not possible. I would do that job. 00:22:34.869 --> 00:22:37.230 I would hate that job. I would love that job. 00:22:37.390 --> 00:22:39.529 That would be the opposite of me. Would it should 00:22:39.529 --> 00:22:45.589 pay? Like, I would, I don't know. I feel like 00:22:45.589 --> 00:22:49.710 it's one giant puzzle. So, yes.

Yes. Like it wouldn't be in like all sizes. 00:30:59.769 --> 00:31:01.869 It wouldn't be for like measuring the swatch, 00:31:01.869 --> 00:31:05.170 but it would be for a petting zoo. It would be 00:31:05.170 --> 00:31:07.990 like for squeezing. Or touching to be like, do 00:31:07.990 --> 00:31:11.150 I really like this fabric?

Would not excuse you from swatching. No. 00:31:25.210 --> 00:31:29.329 But the CO would let you know what the fabric 00:31:29.329 --> 00:31:33.019 is like. Yes. Yes. COO would still say you need 00:31:33.019 --> 00:31:35.420 to swatch still. Yes. Well, because you don't 00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:37.359 know your own tension. You don't know your own 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.160 tension and you may not use these same needles. 00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:46.480 Yep. A scrap strategist. Oh, what to do with 00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:52.650 your scraps. Creates patterns and projects. With 00:31:52.650 --> 00:31:55.250 leftover yarn scraps. Oh, you can donate your 00:31:55.250 --> 00:31:57.329 leftovers if you're worried about like stuff. 00:31:57.509 --> 00:31:59.569 You donate your leftovers into a jar. Instead 00:31:59.569 --> 00:32:03.829 of waste. Instead of waste. Yarn saver is, I 00:32:03.829 --> 00:32:06.910 take that for stuffing. There's places that will 00:32:06.910 --> 00:32:08.890 make like animals for kids. Like they have little 00:32:08.890 --> 00:32:10.529 craft groups that will make animals for kids. 00:32:10.609 --> 00:32:13.009 And if I get stuff that's pretty much just going 00:32:13.009 --> 00:32:15.910 to be scrap or it's like unusable, little bag, 00:32:16.170 --> 00:32:18.829 they like basically like shave it all up and 00:32:18.829 --> 00:32:22.309 then stuffing. I love that though. Yeah. A color 00:32:22.309 --> 00:32:26.630 work connoisseur. So this is something that like, 00:32:26.650 --> 00:32:28.509 so my mom, I brought this up before, she loves 00:32:28.509 --> 00:32:32.190 to quilt. My mom really struggles with do these 00:32:32.190 --> 00:32:35.410 patterns, do these colors really go together? 00:32:35.589 --> 00:32:37.690 Do they actually complement each other? Are they 00:32:37.690 --> 00:32:41.369 fighting each other? Somebody like that. Or if 00:32:41.369 --> 00:32:43.450 you could go and say like, I have this really 00:32:43.450 --> 00:32:47.009 special skein that I want to use, but in a project 00:32:47.009 --> 00:32:50.549 that pairs, what would look good with this? he 00:32:50.549 --> 00:32:52.750 had like a color chip room with them like the 00:32:52.750 --> 00:32:55.970 paint place right like the pantone yeah yeah 00:32:55.970 --> 00:32:58.690 and so you could kind of see like what your options 00:32:58.690 --> 00:33:00.849 are if you're going for something warm or cool 00:33:00.849 --> 00:33:03.849 and what colors complement something like that 00:33:03.849 --> 00:33:07.450 yeah sometimes that can be really hard figuring 00:33:07.450 --> 00:33:10.609 out not everybody has like a firm grasp on like 00:33:10.609 --> 00:33:14.339 color theory That too. Or also like these two 00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:16.460 colors could go really well together for like, 00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:19.559 say this project, but for this project now we're, 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:21.460 now we're struggling. They're fighting each other. 00:33:21.579 --> 00:33:24.220 Yeah. So something like that. If you, if you 00:33:24.220 --> 00:33:28.339 are lost. Yeah. Cause sometimes colors are surprise 00:33:28.339 --> 00:33:30.220 you by the way they go together. But if you have 00:33:30.220 --> 00:33:34.740 someone who knows that, that'd be awesome. Like, 00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.440 I know this sounds weird, but trust me. It's 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.440 like, yeah, that would be cool. I would love 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.450 that job. I mean, I have like ones that would 00:33:43.450 --> 00:33:46.250 be for like illegal enterprises, but not like 00:33:46.250 --> 00:33:50.880 legit jobs, like a yarn smuggler. Which actually 00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.859 is so necessary because let me tell you, getting 00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:56.240 all this yarn from Portugal was ridiculous. This 00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:00.380 Portuguese yarn is so nice. So like, but like 00:34:00.380 --> 00:34:02.279 it's illegal. So like you wouldn't really get 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.460 money like a salary. It would be more like, you 00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:08.159 know, laundered through a laundromat at your 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:11.579 local town. Like I can advise criminals.
