hello my name is Stephanie welcome to my
channel edible thoughts makes this is
episode number 17 today it is a
beautiful sunny day and we're supposed
to get highs above freezing and so some
of the snow might start melting it is
the third week of February I'm so glad
you are joining me here today
this channel is where I share with you
works-in-progress
finished projects things I'm cooking up
books and reading funny things that kids say
my hope is that as you watch this
episode and the previous episodes that
you find some inspiration along the way
I have several finished projects to
share with you and a few works in
progress that I have made progress on
since the last time we talked I have one
new cast on that is one of my works in
progress and I have a special project
that I want to share with you and some
books oh and I don't want to forget
about this soup that I've made a couple
times in the last few weeks that I'd
like to share with you as well there's
no recipe it's me like putting stuff
together but it was a hit in our
household so I want to make sure I share
with that share that with you as well
so let's get started in finished
projects I've been I think I'm a bit of
a purple kick purple is my favorite
color I love all shades of purple from
like the faintest wisps of lavender and wisteria color
to like deep purple royal purple
color to plummy purple to blueish indigo
purple I love it all I have always loved
the color purple my parents can probably
tell you that everything I wanted
how to be purple well it didn't have to be
I liked all colors but by default
purple was my go-to color so um in my
last episode I was working on a pair of
the high desert socks there's the
[pop up of stock image of socks on feet] pattern print out it is by Lindsey Fowler at LostAndFawned and I finished
that pair they are fingering weight held
double they work up very quickly and I [holds up heathered purple socks]
[close-up of marled dark brown striping and variegated yarn striping sections] am loving this marling and striping
it is a good way to use up little bits
of yarn if you have little bits for this
striping section here I use the three
colors and that calls for in the pattern
but you could easily just do two if you
wanted and just do the striping in that
extra color and then maybe leave this
middle part the same as your main color
if you wanted to so here's the fun pair
I have been wearing them they are so
cozy inside of boots I think I made the
length as specified in the pattern but
if you wanted them to should go above
maybe like higher boots then you could
add definitely add extra length it'll
just change your yardage as estimated in
the pattern
US size three needles are what you knit
them with and she has a great chart for
all of the let's see one two three four
five six seven sizes offered and she
breaks it down by how many yards for the
main color and for each of the
contrasting colors my yardages did come
out actually pretty close to what she
estimated one of them I think I was
like maybe four yards off or even yeah
about four yards off from her estimation
which is super super close
[Three pairs of matchy neon sprinkle socks in three sizes-well the third pair is a work in progress]
[marled shades of purple sock next to two balls of yarn on top of a pink Valentine]
here is another pair that I made these
are for my toddler
[holds up neon sprinkle socks with pink and orange marled striping]
I finished my night walk socks by the same designer using these yarns by Christina at Teal Torch Knits
and then my first grader has socks
also made from this yarn and so the
youngest needed them too and now they
say daddy needs them too I'm not sure my
husband is a neon sprinkles kind of guy
so I think I'll probably make him high desert socks in a different color palette
but I love how this Marling came out with this neon speckling [close-up of striping] it is really fun the striping is really fun
there and the speckles just still really
shine through even in fingering weight
held double so these are her socks she
was able to wear them inside of ice
skates when we went ice skating last
week which is really nice I probably
could have made them a little higher but
she doesn't like her socks really high
so keeping that in mind I didn't make
the leg as high so they didn't go past
where the top of the ice skates are and
I don't believe they go past her boots
that she's wearing either however if I
made them any higher she'd probably fold
them down and then get frustrated that
she can zip up her boots so we are
leaving them as they are and she loves
them they're squishy and comfy they are
not really fun I love the pops of color
especially during the winter when you
couldn't get a series of really great
days where the Sun doesn't come out for
weeks and it's just kind of nice to have
something bright and fun to wear so like
I said I'm really into purple so here
are another high desert socks I kind of
[holds up shades of purple socks] got really into this pattern like I said it works up quick cause it's fingering
how double which is essentially DK
weight but the other fun thing is that
you can make up so many different color
combinations
and if you have like that one skein of
variegated yarn in your collection and
you're not sure what to do with it
socks are perfect and if you don't like
color pooling when you hold the
fingering weight double like I didn't
separate my yarn into two separate balls
I just pulled one from the center and
one from the outside and it didn't get
tangled it was just fine and it was easy
enough to work with it in that sense you
can't work two socks at a time but I
like to do mine one at a time so it's
just fine but I absolutely love how this
one worked up it is a combination of yarns from serendipitous wool, woolberry fiber Co and the kinetic knitter
so I really like how this black [focuses on cuff] this black actually has splashes a purple in
it sort of match the rest and then this
white [striping] is actually like a really faint
light pink like purple which also then
worked really well with my color scheme
and it provided enough contrast for this
right thing to show through I initially
had a maroon color for where this white
was but the maroon was too warm and
close to the rest of it that the
striping didn't really show through like
it might have been a pretty subtle
stripe if I wanted to keep it but it
wasn't enough that I felt comfortable
after doing that first stripe thinking
that it would really be obvious because
if I'm gonna make any striping I want it
to show otherwise what was the point of
using that yarn because then I can use
that maroon color for another set of
socks or something else yes I am
absolutely in love with this this main
color is called mushrooms and it's by
Shobha serendipitous wool and it has
like all my favorite colors in it it has
the indigo different shades of purple
like kind of muted corals and there's
even little pops of green I just love it
love it love it love it and it's so soft
and smooth there's something about her
yarns they just feel almost silky um
like it's a wool nylon blend but it just feels so
ah luxurious I guess and they feel so
nice on to so I'm I love these socks
love them so much this one I made the
leg a little bit longer than the other
one but yes highly recommend this
pattern it is super fun and there are so
many sizes so you can make enough for
the whole family and or a whole bunch
for yourself alright so that is it on
those socks okay so continuing on my
purple kick you saw a few of these
beanies in my last video is the Lara
beanie by Phanessa at designs by Phanessa so since the other two were claimed by
my husband I decided to make myself
another one I wasn't too sad because
again so many different color
combinations as a lot of options and I
really kind of wanted a purple one
anyway so if this was a test knit that I
did for Phanessa and then as you know
sometimes I get a get out a roll for
some of these patterns especially if
they're a quick knit and then I just
keep going and keep going because
there's so many different color
combinations that I just want to get out
ahead and get out in like a tangible
form that I can use and wear and enjoy
so this pattern also comes in different
sizes I think it's four sizes and I
don't have the pattern in front of me so
I don't really remember but I made it
one another adult size and I used a
tweedy purple here and then a marled
gradient for the rest [close-up of hat] this is Lion Brand
wool-ease thick & quick you sized us 13
and us 15 needles and then I popped on
this super fun faux fur pom [close-up of poofy purple faux fur pom] it is my
first time using these palms and it is
so much fun I didn't think I was a faux
fur pom person initially but now I think
I am so the fun thing about these ones
is that it hasn't
elastic loop which means you can remove
it when you need to wash your hat or
even when you just want to change out
the color so on the inside of the Hat I
[close-up of white button on inside top of hat] sew on a button and then I'll show you
how I loop it on so I use a crochet hook
but you will see there's this little
elastic loop on the bottom of this pom [holds up removed pom to show little loop]
and then I grab a a crochet hook [hold sup crochet hook] and then I'll stick my crochet hook just
kind of near the button alright yeah
through the other side so it sticks out
on the top of my hat on the outside and
then I use the hook and I grab that
elastic and I pull it through and then
once I pull it through I'm going to loop
that elastic around my button and now
it's secure not going anywhere and
that's so fun I'll put it on for you [puts on hat]
so I absolutely love this hat you can
make it slouchy or more fitted as you want
I believe I'd end up doing the same
number of repeats as I did on the ones
for my husband so I think it was 8
repeats of this pattern and so on me it
fits slightly slouchy or on and him it's
really fitted but it's really
comfortable it is perfect as a super
bulky weight cat for winters here it
covers my ears it sits well on my head
and that pom is just so much and it's
purple so yes that is my purple
collection for this last week so fun
alright so now let's go on to works in progress
um I want to show you I made a little
bit of progress on my Gatsby shawl
[pop-up of stock image] so the Gatsby Shawl is by Dawn @ Dawn Landix. This is a terrible printout sorry but this top
part is garter and then you've got these
two bands along the edging that chevron
with bobbles this is my first time doing
a knitted bobble if I did them all right
you would see that it's a good ball on
it but some of them I forgot to go back
I forgot to do the last step for some
reason where you pass all the stitches
over each other and must have gotten
distracted so there are a couple of them
that are a good bauble but aren't like
slightly separated I guess from the rest
of it if I find it I'll show you but
otherwise it's really not a big deal so
the yarn I'm using is my lavender lune
yarn Co she is a local dyer to me so I [holds up cinnamon brown variegated yarn cake]
love that this is the cedar leaf bfl and
it's one of those really large skeins I
think it was a hundred and fifty grams
which is perfect for knitting shawls
because it's over 600 yards you aren't
gonna be joining in another one another
skein you don't have to worry about
alternating schemes or them looking
different or things like that you just
keep on knitting it which is really fun
and so that's why I chose this
to kind of go with that because I felt
like the variegation in the yarn will
shine in this pattern that doesn't use
[image pops up of shawl in progress] different colors and it the yardage
should match up pretty well I might even
have a little left over which it will be
perfect for socks so let me show you
[holds up shawl in progress] here so this is showing you it upside
down so the live stitches are actually
closer to the bottom of the shawl so
you'll see this beautiful garter and
then I've gotten one band of that
Chevron and bobble section done and that
fun you've got these Center spine
between each Chevron section and then
you've got these really fun bobbles so I
don't know if I can find the ones that I
forgot to do correctly and I suppose it
doesn't really matter if I can't find it
then clearly it's not that obvious
so if you see this bobble here it's
[holds up failed bobble with finger stuck into the back of it so it protrudes] still like very much connected to the
rest of it because I didn't move those
stitches all over so until there was
like one left so it's kind of like this
little protruding section but not quite
a bobble so like this one is sectioned
off kind of from the rest of it I didn't
see that so I can't stick my finger
through the back like I can the other
one anyway [shows winner bobble]
it's what happens when you get
distracted or you have kids or whatever
well you can't seem to complete five six
steps in a row without forgetting something
so anyway moving on not a big deal I'm
not going back to fix anything I will
just continue there's another section
that repeats the same Chevron bobble
motif and so that
during that one I will try to pay more
attention to each bubble to make sure I
actually finish them off
here are my stitch markers and progress
keepers snowflake amazonite set by Maria
at Woolen forest and I just absolutely [close-up of stitch markers and progress keepers]
love her knitting notions they are so sweet
I am kind of a rock nerd so I love that
she does all these gems in her progress
keepers they are all nature inspired I
love all things nature inspired okay I
am really hoping to get this one done
maybe by end of March is what I'm giving
myself but again it's kind of an
arbitrary deadline because not really a
big deal I don't want to put a bunch of
stress or pressure on myself for the
project but I would like to get it done
because I do want to wear it and I am so
close I just have that last chevron
section chevron bauble section and then
a gardener edging icord bind off and
then I am done so I think end of March
is a good deadline we are in the third
week of February like I'm giving myself
another month before that I think that's
a good that's a good goal my next one
that I want to share with you is a pure
joy shawl by Joji Locatelli [stock image pops up with shawl modeled on desinger] had been
I planning for this shawl for a couple
months and I kept telling myself I
couldn't test on so I finished a couple
other things of course in between I cast
on some other things but they were small
so that didn't count
I suppose and I just wanted to make sure
I planned for the right colors that I
wanted for it this sha finished
measurements will be 82 inches and for
82 inches side to side 14 inches top to
bottom so it's not a huge shawl it's one
that I feel like I can wrap comfortably
kind of draped around my neck
and it's not gonna be one of those like
big blanket size shawls which honestly
to me are kind of intimidating to make
something that huge and I'm not sure if
it would be as wearable as something
that is a little smaller for me so this
one yardage why's she cautions that some
people run out of color a she says
you'll need approximately 430 yards in
color a 380 yards and color B and since
a lot of fingering weight yarn has 400
yards for a hundred grams some testers
she said used more for color a so I
needed another scheme um you do use
needles us six or four millimeter sized
needles so knowing that and knowing what
yarn I wanted to use I knew for sure I
was gonna run out of color hey I wanted
to use an MCN blend a merino cashmere
nylon blend it's I think 80/10/10 for
percentage and that yardage was a little
bit under 400 yards for a hundred grams
and here are the colors
it's my little lion head knits it's by
Colleen [holds up yarn cake] so there is this like super
bright warm red and then this speckled
multicolored one [holds up yarn cake] this one's I think baking sugar cookies this one is called let's picnic [warm red one]
and so with that in mind I wanted to add in another color and also
the same fiber content and this one is
my Christina at teal torch knits this one
[holds up yarn cake that's neon peachy pink] does have more yardage so I don't have
to worry about this one running out it's
kind of like a neon tonal peachy pink
but I really like this one because it
there's some of it in this speckled one [holds up speckled yarn and neon peachy pink yarn]
so it draws that color out and I think
it goes well with this one without being
too similar [holds up warm red with neon peachy pink]
so the way I am playing with that in the
pattern is in each of the wedge sections
I add in two rows of that second color a
and I'm not too particular about when I
add it in I kind of add it right before
I switch to this color a but not too
close to it so it's kind of hard to show
you because I'm mid row here but you can
kinda see weird that second color a
comes into play so this is the right [holds up work in progress to show wedges and striping in of other color]
side and then this is the wrong side or
the other side I am really loving how [shows both sides of shawl]
this is working out I don't want to mess
this up so let's say make sure I have it
in the right orientation but the wedges
that you create are so fun in here maybe
I should finish that row so that I can
hold it up better to show you there's my
progress keeper this is another one by
Maria at Woolen forest
it is the sweetest bronze teacup and
saucer I love that so much [holds up progress keeper]
all right so let me just quickly finish
up this row here so I can hold it up to show you
[time-lapse super speedy knitting]
so here is the right side of it I just
fit started a new wedge section so you
see that contrast color there and then
you can see that extra color a that I've
been adding in now because I started on
the wrong side and it's garter it kind
of it looks like this instead of like
that
kind of see how the wedge is look so the
on this side is where they're closer
together and then they get bigger as you
go out I love this so much I cannot wait
to finish it and wear it isn't that so
fun pure joy is what this is called
and yes this brings me so much joy I
just smile every time I pick it up I
cannot wait to wear this this is gonna
be so much fun so I am getting close to
finishing but as you know what the shawl
as it grows it takes longer and longer
to do each section because it gets
bigger and bigger so though I feel like
I'm really close to finishing
I've still got like the largest last two
sections to do and this is how much of
the color a I have left so we are going
to see how far this takes me and then I
will decide how I want to incorporate in
my second color a into the last sections
I might just knit this one all the way
up and then finish with this instead of
continuing to guess with like adding in
stripes and seeing where I'm at we shall
see the last wedge uses all of your
contrast color which I have plenty of so
I'm not really worried about that the
edging of this for finishing is the bind
off is she recommends an elastic find
out but I kind of want to do a picot
edge bind off like I did on my
[holds up green and blue shawl with picot edging] find your fade shawl here I really like that so I think I might use that kind of edging on
this shawl and we shall see if I end up
doing it in this contrast color [warn red yarn cake] or if I
switch back to color my second color a
for that picot edge which could be a
nice contrast to the contrast so we
shall see I am so excited about this
project it is perfect in colors and in feel it
is so soft and bright and happy I really
really am enjoying it
the third work-in-progress I wanted to
share with you is a special project I am
doing through our church there are two
local organizations that have contacted
our church about making these plarn
crochet mats for people who are homeless
and what plarn is is a mixture of
plastic plus yarn so you're making
plastic yarn out of plastic bags so it's
upcycling plastic bags like yes I would
rather we not have any or very minimal
plastic bags but given that we do have
them it would be a good idea to make
them into something that is functional
and what's nice about it is that it's
lightweight if it gets wet it can just
hang dry these mats are designed so that
it can be rolled up they have ties that
I will be on them and then a shoulder
strap so they can be carried around more
lightweight provide some cushion gifts
cold hard floors so they're portable
last week or the week before I went in
to church to pick up a large bag of
plastic bags and to learn the different
steps on making this so that I can do it
on my own time at home so basically you
take a bag [holds up a plastic bag]
and then you want to smooth it out
get out all the bubbles all the air in
it hold it nice either on a flat surface
so that you fold it again and then you
fold it again and then you cut off the
handle parts because it's kind of holey
and then you're gonna cut and then again
in half and then you end up with these
rings now if you have a rotary mat and
cutter it can go a lot faster and you
can do several at once so that's what I
started doing versus sitting there with
dull scissors trying to cut them so then
once you get that you won't have a bunch
of rings let's see if I have some in
here to show you so like once you have
them when you open it up you're gonna
have all these little rings of plastic [holds up orange plastic bag rings]
bags now you take those rings and you're
gonna loop them and make a chain so when [looping rings together into a chain]
you get a bunch of them together and you
keep chaining them you are making them
into plarn now if your plastic is like a
super thick kind it's gonna be really
hard on your hands to crochet and then
if they're too thin then it can break
which makes it not as useful so once you
get a lot of them all chained together
and you can start rolling them into a
ball so a ball up large and then if you [holds up ball]
have a bunch of different colors then
you can make it really fun each mat is
about three by six feet and takes
approximately five to seven hundred bags
to make and I saw on one website I think
it's approximated like 50 to 70 hours or
something per bag or me per mat to make
but I'm not entirely sure how you
calculate that out cause some people I
do it faster I might do it slower you
might be using scissors you might be
using a rotary mat if
doing just a like 30 minutes here and
there I feel like it'd be really hard to
tell how much time it's going to take so
I'm not sure how much time it'll take me
but I will show you a start of mine so I
didn't count how many went across here
because it was started for me so that I
could take one home [holds up start of crocheted plarn mat]
to get working on so it'll be
approximately 3 feet by 6 feet so this
is the short end of it and you'll see it
ends up lots of different colors just
based on the different color of bags
this bag here was like a really thick
one so it was harder to crochet this
orange and then I think it was paper
bags I think I know the green ones are
for sure these paper bags but those ones
are a little more moldable pliable I am
using a size 10 millimeter crochet hook [holds up crochet hook]
and then I just got a 12 millimeter 1/2
for some of the sections that might be a
little tougher to do and then I usually
hold my crochet hook like a pencil hold
but because this is so much thicker and
harder on my hands I'm having to grip it
more like this instead to go and then I
just do a little bit at a time a few
rows here and there and switch it up on
what parts I'm doing so that I don't
hurt my wrist but this will eventually
grow to these 6 feet in length and then
a shoulder strap and ties will be made
to go with it so I feel like this a
project is a great way to make use of
what you have and do good for others and
it is something that can involve the
rest of your family if you have maybe
little kids around my tumblr really
enjoys like smoothing out the bags I
taught her how to loop them so she's
actually really good at looping the
Rings together I just do all the cutting
she
great with scissors but the cutting on
this I feel it can be a little bit
tricky so I do that part and then I do
the crocheting part she can also wind it
into a ball or my first grader can also
do that part so that's a great way to
work together and teach your children or
others around you about seeing a need
filling a need and helping others in
your community so I think that's it for
my works in progress let's move on to
books um my first grader and I we've
been reading The Chronicles of Narnia we
are on book 1 and every night we read
one chapter so right now in book one
it's Polly and degrees adventures with
Digory's uncle Andrew they
just returned from another world and
brought back the witch or Queen and so
she is about to be on loose in town and
creating chaos everywhere as she is
trying to take over the world so that is
where we are at and my first grader is
really enjoying the book she can read it
too but it is our time together when I
read it to her snuggled in bed
and we talk about different words that
she might not understand and what is
going on and she gets really excited
about it and I last read through this
whole series again I think about a year
and a half ago and it was just kind of
fun to revisit these books that I had
read even longer ago so that is really
exciting to me a book I just checked out
from our library is the water dancer by
[pop up of screenshot from audiobook]
Ta-Nehisi Coates. I'm going to be
listening to it as an audiobook and I am
looking forward to that because the
water dancer is set in the pre Civil War
south and the protagonist has these
superhuman powers of photographic memory [reading summary on phone]
he cannot remember his mother but he's
able to transport people over long
distances using a power known as conduction which
can fool the earth like fabric and
allows him to travel across large areas
via waterways I am really looking
forward to reading or listening to this
book and I will let you know how it goes
later although I feel like I'm really
not great about talking about books
without giving away things that you
might not want to know before reading it
so I may or may not actually talk about
it but when I finish I will maybe tell
you about how I enjoyed it so that is my
most recent book that I will be enjoying
so in the beginning of this I talked
about a soup that you really wanted to
tell you about so I am a really big fan
of my slow cooker no I do not have an
instant pot because I do have a crock
pot that is like several several years
old and so I did not see a need for
another gadget in my kitchen I also have
a rice cooker I really like it's like a
very simple one you click the thing down
and it's cooks and the ones done it just
pops up so anyway I don't need it like
another large item but that's beside the
point so in my slow cooker I will put in stock
or broth you can do veggie you can do
chicken you could do beef whatever works
for you I put in riced cauliflower I don't
actually rice it myself I just buy like frozen bags of riced cauliflower
because I feel like it's a really easy thing to throw into stuff
like if you want to do stir fry or fried
rice or soups or whatever you want but I
throw in some rice cauliflower I put in
lentils and spinach cannellini beans
artichoke hearts and I just let it all
sit in there oh and butternut squash so
a lot of these things I have already
pre-prepared either frozen the beans I
just do from a can and I just rinse them
out before I dump them in there
artichoke hearts I have used frozen and
I have used like marinated artichoke
hearts either one works but they are all
ingredients that I can help on hand at
any time and not have to have it fresh
which in the winter I feel like is
really nice because you don't always
have access to like the freshest
vegetables but you can have stuff in
your freezer so then I just throw it all
in I don't have measurements for
anything you just kind of eyeball it you
can put on some salt if you want some
salt I think if you have any herbs like
Italian seasonings or basil oregano or
whatever you can throw it in based on
whatever you like your soup to taste
like and I just cover it and I set it
for I think six or eight hours and it
really depends on when I start it
sometimes I started a little too late so
it has to be closer to four hours but
then otherwise I just put it all in and
then by the time it's dinner you can
serve it with bread was none with rice
by itself however way you want it to be
but it's like a really nice hearty
veggie soup that is delicious
and I don't have any pictures of it or
anything it's just something that I've
made I don't know if it's like
necessarily the most photogenic soup
although I'm not sure what that's
supposed to mean
but it's really good so if you try it
let me know or if you try your own
version of it let me know I hope things
are going well for you and that you have
been cooking up lots of fun things I
find you to make some money on a bread
later I have two or three bananas that
look a little hmm they might be getting
to the soggy point maybe not that bad
yet but the peel is definitely Brown so
I have some of those and then some
weren't speckled brown bananas that I
think can go into banana bread so that's
what I'll be making later my kids love
mashing the bananas so we will see if I
wait for them before I make it or if I
just get it done on my own so we shall
see
[piano music fades back in] but with that cheers [holds up mug] to being creative I hope you have a wonderful day and if
I don't get back on here before the end of
the month I hope you have a wonderful
rest of your February take care, bye bye!
