Here is the last episode of this series. I leave behind the jacket making to finish Jester. My knitting disaster story is told in full detail and a story by the munchkin about a knitter who makes mistakes ends the show.
Here are some links of things I discuss in the podcast: 1) Verena Knitting Magazine 2) Berroco March sweater 3) Couture Sewing by Schaeffer 4) Producing a Chanel jacket by Taunton Press 5) The Sewing Divas blog entry on constructing a Chanel jacket 6) Best of Rowan book. The Jester is on the front cover at the bottom right.

Hi Miriam,
I’m thrilled to find a new podcast by you. Yours is one of my favorites. I know you are busy, so I appreciate your taking the time to do this. I am listening to some of your earlier podcasts as well. I love the stories by your little guy. I hope you will continue to include those. I learn a lot from your podcasts.
No specific comments on this one, as I am just downloading it now. I look forward to listneing when I am traveling tomorrow and in the next 2 weeks. I hope you are well.

Glad to see you had another episode up so quickly. I too learned the hard way that apparently white wool yarn does not really felt. Something to do with the bleaching process I believe. Most of the creams and pale yellows and beige colors do felt OK in case you ever want to try it again. It also pays to use the same brand, style of wool as different brands may felt at different rates as well. I make a lot of felted cat beds, mats and bags to donate to The Gift Store run by my local animal shelter so most of this has been learned thru trial and error and finally a little research! I enjoyed this last segment of Channeling Chanel-it is much more ambitious than anything I might ever try and not really my style but was still fascinating to hear the amount of detailing involved even in regards to a sewn item as I used to sew many years ago. And lastly, I enjoyed listening to your son’s story-my he’s sounding so much more grown up these days. Thanks again for a great podcast.
Miriam, I really enjoyed your series on the Chanel jacket. Thanks!

all I can say is: You must LOVE your husband to make that sweater!! It would take me a lifetime….
And a lifetime the Jester seems to be taking. Going on now 8 years or so, the Jester project is one that will never be repeated. I wonder if I will ever plunge into a Starmore project.
