    Omg, I saw a moth sitting on my newly knit jumper the other day. It's been in time out in the freezer since then. I know I have some moths in my wardrobe because I use the sticky pheromone traps that kill the males. I keep all my knitwear in plastic tub and hope for the best!! I think the change to warmer weather has brought them out in full force. We have huge mosquitos so we have three large blue lamps with electric grills which zap insects. It gets a lot of moths as well. One is on our deck on a timer to and in the morning the native birds get a BBQ meal! No chemicals in the house, but in summer when we get blowflies it occasionally smells like fried fly 🤢

    Hi Betty please could you put the microphone a bit lower down, the sound seems off, maybe it's a bit too much bass and muffled yet loud. Sometimes it sounds like your eating it and when you move around and catch it or knock it makes some horrid noises, it's dreadful wearing headphones on anyway.

    Hello, Betty, so excited for you to be working with the 👑 Queen of Vintage Knitting herself!!! What a dream job!🥰 Oh, I made the Sirdar Coronation Blanket too but still have some ends to work in and finishing to do. I bought a kit with the original colours. I don't think I've seen anyone else do the red, white and royal blue. I like how you did the border in purple and gilt/gold instead of the frost blue and cream. Of course, I mean the ones I saw on Ravelry. LOL. You know, I❤Ravelry. It is great to see what other colours or mods other crocheters/knitters make. Take care and take some time to rest between all your KALs and CALs

    Hi Betty! Nice to catch up with your latest episode 👍 That vintage knitting machine you scored sounds rather speccy for the price. What a great deal! And lucky you for finding that yarn!! I really love your skeletons jumper and will need to consider making one for myself. I'm quite tall so hopefully wouldn't run into the same issue with the yoke depth. Circular yokes seem really fiddly.

      I think I only got the weird yoke depth because I didn't get gauge and was too lazy to keep swatching lol. Lesson learned! But also I think I am 'petite' in stature so perhaps the pattern writer writes for normal sized people? I don't know lol, but highlights the importance of gauge swatches!

    Gosh as you were talking about what you eat for breakfast, I was horrified !! I'm not kidding!! You are eating a horrifying amount of neurotoxin like almonds, green or black tea, chia seeds, raspberries, potatoes, lemon peel and any excess vitamin C the liver will convert to neurotoxin. This is what kidney stone are made of and can cause all sorts of health issues. They build up over time and the kidneys are only capable of getting rid of or processing a certain amount of these neurotoxins without damaging themselves, hence the build up. These neurotoxins also like to link up with calcium which can cause osteopenia and osteoporosis. The neurotoxin is called Oxalate. You need to be aware of what foods contain high levels of Oxalate and keep the level down. Rhubarb is also high in these neurotoxins. I would love to shop your Etsy shop but don't have a link or follow you on Instagram. Please leave links in your UA-cam description. 😊

    Just happened across your channel this evening and knitted along to your podcast - I love it! Your dogs are so cute, as is the beautiful sweater. I've been tempted by the Bird and Blend Cosy Collection of teas. It contains the apple bobbing tea as well as other autumnal flavours; good to hear a good review of the tea!

      Welcome!! Hope you liked the video and it's great to have you here :). I used the River Cottage recipe for rosehip syrup www.rivercottage.net/recipes/rosehip-syrup buuuuuut I rarely follow recipes to the letter lol. I didn't strain over a muslin as I found that stripped out all the good stuff and made it thin and watery. So I used a sieve to pass the hips through and get the hairs/pips out. Takes a bit of effort but worth it! I also didn't bother chopping them up as the recipe says, I just boiled em up and mashed them with a potato masher to get them to break up (once boiled they become softer). Finally my last rule break was to simmer them for more like an hour, the recipe says 15 mins which didn't really soften the hips up as I'd like so I kept simmering until they were nice and mushy. Good luck! It's worth the effort as it's a lovely treat on a grey winters morning!

    Hello Betty, happy sweater season!! 🧶❤Sounds like someone has been a busy bee. Hope your mum is doing better. Your doggies are so adorable and I'm sure they enjoyed their birthday cake.🎂 I have the Tyrolean book but haven't knitted anything yet. I was a little disappointed that 3 of the patterns were also in other vintage knitting books. However, I love the history bit, all the pics, how-to embroidery and how to design one with a peplum. Looking forward to seeing how your Tyrolean jacket turns out. I think Linda Ivell is working on another book. I know you are super busy but you should really try Ravelry again. I don't mean to be a broken record but I looked up your skeleton sweater. There are almost 100 knitters working on it. I'm sure you could ask about your sweater problems there and find lots of good advice. Good luck with machine knitting. Of course, there are groups for that on Ravelry too. LOL Take care❤
