I was wondering if you would podcast once the schools were back so it was lovely to see you again x
Thank you lovely 🥰 Yes, just so tricky with the kids and constant interruptions with them so thought best to get them back to school and then do one. Xx
Love, love, love your embroidered prints!! You are so talented. I hope all goes well at your first show this weekend, not only as a confidence booster but also to confirm you made right choice changing careers and going back to school. That was a gutsy decision, and you should be proud at how far you have come in a year of podcasting. I really like the color and shape of your crochet shawl. I prefer to knit rather than crochet because I get confused where to place the stitch (insert hook) when crocheting. Front loop, back loop, between posts....😂 Take care, ❤ from USA.
Thank you so much! Nervous about taking these prints so your comment is a massive confidence boost ❤️ xx
Great to see you back here again. I love the pink and grey together for the cardigan 🩷🩶 Good luck with the Open Studio event x
Thank you!! 😊
Was so lovely seeing you on Friday and Saturday! Love the pink and grey cardigan combo ❤
Found your channel so I’m starting at number one Lovely to meet you Vannesa xx❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
Thanks for coming xxx
Beautiful yarn! Thanks foe the tag along!
Thank you! 😊
Enjoyed watching your video. Loving your blue yarn used for the shawl. Like you I am not a very confident knitter. I only cast on my first pair of socks back in April this year. I have switched to doing cuff down and using a very stretchy cast on and have now made half a dozen vanilla socks. I did try the emotional support chicken but wouldn't have completed it following the pattern alone. I found a lady on UA-cam from the company that wrote the pattern who took me through it step by step and I was very pleased with the result. I did use an Aran weight yarn. I like you, also am a crocheter but wanted to try a new adventure with knitting this year and already knew the basics.
Loved all your new goodies ! So pleased I’ve happened upon your vlog. Your fabric book is beautiful❤
Hello Ness, new subscriber here in Adelaide South Australia where it's a bit cold. I am English and spent many lovely holidays in Cornwall as a child - it really is a beautiful county and it's nice to have a bit of nostalgia from the old country. I loved "Poldark" but my favourite series (I'm ancient hope you don't mind) was with Robin Ellis and Angharad Reece (ask your mum) 🥰😍🤩 I love your book, it's just so beautiful. Until next time, love Angela 😘Xx
Nice to see you again. Thanks. Jane
Love the podcast.
Lovely yarn , i like the shades of blue in the shawl 😊 Cornwall is gorgeous the sea always looks blue ❤ ....... I must have a thing for the Colour blue 😂 thank you for sharing !
Love all the purchases ❤
I came on to look for something to watch and was thrilled to see you again. Some lovely purchases
Same, been keeping my eye out for the next episode!!
I enjoyed the podcast. I have never tried toe up socks and they frighten me a bit, but I love the colour of your pair. The scenery at the end was beautiful. Jinny
Just thinking about your natural dying adventures, and I think I saw a reel about avocado skins create a reddish colour... just a thought...
My partner and I have booked a 2 day break next year to paris after watching your paris vlog... mainly for the zoo...possibly for yarn... but he doesn't know that 😅
Hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful time! You could always “accidentally” stumble upon the yarn shops 😂x
@TheCornishStitcher as far as my partner knows it'll be an accident !! But that's between us ha ha 😂
I am so jealous of all the people that went to this festival... however I think my bank balance is thanking me!! 😅
I also hate working with cotton yarn. For me, it's the lack of give. I have a hexy cardigan that is 80% done but its last juts are cotton and blurgh i dont want to do it!! Ready to frog it tbh!!
Hello! I’m watching from Tampa, Florida USA
Welcome!! Hope you are enjoying xx
Another lovely podcast - thank you ❤️ Love the red top you've made - very clever. Nice haircut! Enjoy your holiday 😀
I hope you had an amazing time. I did a double take when i heard you say Isle of Bute, don't here it mentioned much, I grew up there and absolutly love it. My parents have recently opened a cottage out as a B&B on the island. I truly hope to get back one day and take my kids to see it.
Have a great time in Scotland. I love it that I am not the only one that takes lots of projects with them on holiday and also visits yarn shops!
Hope you have a wonderful trip to Scotland. I have only ever knit socks cuff down, with a heel flap and heel turn. It sounds much more daunting than it is, and I find that the fit is fabulous. My plans for the emotional support chicken have been revived now you’ve mentioned it (I love the yarns you have chosen!) and I already have the pattern. Jinny
Happy holiday to you! For your cuff down socks you can use the short row heel that you have already mastered so that would be an easy intro, but I started cuff down with a heel flap and it's not hard, you can do it!
Hi loving your podcast. I am also new to knitting but have found sock knitting and love it. I followed the crazy sock lady on you tube she does fabulous tutorials using all different needles I found that I am better using dpns. I hope this helps. Have a fab trip.
Bring a raincoat it’s very wet here at the moment 😊Try Winwick mum heel flap and gusset. It must be easy it’s how I learnt 😊 Enjoy your trip.
Enjoying your videos! Have a great trip too 😊
Cannot wait to see your Omelette which will be great in those yarns! (Feeling very envious of your trip plans.)
Just found you on here . Loving watching you while I knit. Your just like me trying not to buy yarn but then see lovely yarn. Loving watching will watch all
Another great podcast. I am so excited to hear there is a yarn shop in Topsham, I will be visiting the area soon and will definitely seek it out. I am so pleased to have discovered your podcast earlier this week and have enjoyed watching - I still have the vlogs to listen to so plenty to keep me going. Janet (Perky Puffin Crochet)
Another lovely podcast.
I went on the Sunday when the sun shone. What a difference between the two days. People who'd been on the Saturday told me how bitterly cold it was and about the horrendous car queue to get in. Sunday's definitely the better day to visit. What a long way to drive. Such dedication. You deserved a few treats. X
I absolutely love the Bird Street Yarn that you chose - the colours are so beautiful ❤ As usual, I am knitting socks - a scrappy blue pair was finished yesterday, so they have been washed and are on sock blockers drying. Unusually for me, I had 2 pairs of socks on the go (I will stick with monogamous sock knitting from now on!) which are in 100% pure wool from a slaughter free flock. I am going to participate, for the first time, in The Crazy Sock Lady’s Summer Sock camp, which starts on Saturday. I have got plenty of wool wound up and ready to go for that. Other than socks, I am knitting a blanket for my grandchild who is due in September. Thank you for the vlog. Jinny
I have just discovered your podcasts and decided to watch them in order - I have thoroughly enjoyed number one and am looking forward to working through your others as time allows. I would love to produce my own but don’t have a clue about how or what equipment I need so well done to you for taking the plunge. Janet @perky_puffin_crochet
Thanks Vanessa, lovely to see such beautiful vibrant colours on this dreary, wet, grey day. I have wool winder envy! 😂
You’re welcome 😊 The wool winder is so gorgeous… I was very impressed with it and just adored the pattern 🥰
@TheCornishStitcher I've had a look at their website and think it's quite a reasonable price for the quality of the piece - definitely putting it on my birthday present list!
Hi, new subbie here, loving your vlogs.
Thanks for subbing and welcome xx
Make some socks 😂😂
🤣Ok! I also told Kelly the same thing at Wonderwool and she said the same as you! Xx
Well that’s two against one so make the socks!!!
Hello Ness, I am not too far away in Taunton. I hate walking on piers too. My toes feel like they have curled over just stepping onto one. I think it is seeing gaps in the planks that does it. 😬😝
Aw thank you! Yes I agree… the gaps were making it a lot worse! Xx
Lovely meeting you at EAYF in March Ness. You have a lovely air about yourself and your podcast x looking forward to seeing more x
Thank you! That means such a lot 🥰xx
Hello again Ness, I can confirm I also have a weird fear of piers, and I'm a confident swimmer too so I don't think my fear is of being in the water, its the fear of falling through the slats. The holes look bigger than they are 😂. That cowl looks lovely, the yarn has worked up nice 👌 and thank you for the little workroom tour x
Oh wow! Yes! Piers are terrifying and I’m so glad you understand! My boys think I’m a little strange for my fear but oh my! I think it’s worse when the water is there but I don’t like them even when there is no water so I think you are right about the falling part! X
What a lovely donation from your friend. Those Jane Greenhowe books are out of print now and very hard to come by. I've only seen a few different ones so far. Looking forward to seeing more of your work x
Thank you ☺️ Yes, I was so honoured to have the books given to me. I remember my Nan and Aunt making them in the 1980s and 1990s so they are familiar but also so precious aren’t they? X
❤
Hi Ness. Lovely episode! I’ve messaged on Instagram about maybe meeting up at WonderWool xxx
The Elmer blanket is going to be lovely. I have always crocheted acrylic blankets, with a house full of rescued dogs and cats and (now fully adult) 4 sons! I would love to see a vlog from Wonderwool. Jinny
Thank you Jinny… he is loving choosing the colours each day for his blanket 🥰 I have just popped up the blog from Wonderwool so enjoy ☺️ xx
I have never knit toe up socks. I am definitely a cuff down, heel flap and gusset sock knitter! I always hand wash my socks in Eucalan, and then spin them in my socks only salad spinner! I bought a sock hanging rack from Amazon to pin them up and put them in front of my big bedroom window (best £7.99 I have ever spent!) The very old toy patterns are quite sinister looking! In top year juniors, we changed to decimalisation, and still convert ‘new money’ to ‘old money’ quite frequently! Jinny
As a knitter for almost 50 years, I must correct you: The term ‘need’ does not apply to yarn acquisitions, yarn desires, yarn window shopping and yarn dreaming! All those endeavours are essential for knitters 😂 I am 64 next month, and was medically retired from teaching due to a brain tumour about 5 years ago - Foundation Stage and KS1 (ie Reception and Infants in old money!) I love the colours for your colourwork sweater. Just be careful about the difference between a synthetic yarn and a wool jumper in terms of blocking and blooming when washed. I am mainly a sock knitter, but also love shawls. I do NOT like lace (though yarn overs are fine in rows of eyelets) but love texture. I am moving away from fairly bright merino and nylon, to 100% pure wool from a sheep sanctuary, which are dyed in plain colours. I am hoping to move onto fair isle knitted socks. The book from your dad is gorgeous 😍 I have never been to a yarn festival, and now I have severe mobility difficulties, I doubt I ever will. I LOVE winter and autumn, but don’t care for warm weather at all! Jinny
Hi Jinny, welcome 🥰 Thank you for your lovely comments. My jumper sadly, is back into balls of wool at the moment as just wasn’t working well! Most of my teaching career in the classroom was also as a Reception and KS1 teacher and that’s the part I miss! I lived their zest for learning. Socks are becoming a real thing of mine too ❤️ Take care and hope you enjoy watching 😊 Ness xx
Hello. I live on the west coast of England. I love that blanket you are making for your son. Can't wait to see those very bright pops he chooses. So good to hear he can crochet and knit too x
Thank you so much! He has quite eclectic tastes so it’s a very bright blanket in places but I am sure he will love it lots and it will be well used… I will keep you all up to date with its progress ☺️xx
Lots people seem to use kofi to sell from stitched by Mrs d and also deer designs uses kofi x
Thank you ☺️ I had forgotten about Kofi so thank you for the reminder x
Your Elmer themed blanket is amazing, it’s so lovely, it is stunning, and perfect for Monty requires. I’m from Mottingham very near Beckenham where your dad lived!!! Thank you for your vlog it was lovely to joined you for a cuppa x x
Oh thank you! Monty is loving it growing but he has far greater ideas of the speed I should be working at 🤣 So close to Beckenham! It’s such a small world isn’t it?! Xx
Yes, please, do make a Wonder Wool vlog if possible. I have several skeins of La Bien Aimee in the too-good-to-use section of my stash. Postage from France to USA is prohibitive, but the yarn's available here in the nicest LYS. I recently did use most of a skein of her Kumo for a Saturday shrug. Wicked expensive yet so beautiful I have no regrets. I'm watching from Washington state, in the top northwest corner of the USA. xxx
Welcome and thank you so much for watching 😊I will film at Wonderwool and I’m really looking forward to it! I totally agree… the La Bien Aimee is just so beautiful and yes, almost too good to use! Maybe just for admiring and stroking 🤣xx
