    Always lovely to listen to your relaxing podcast and enjoy your crafting. Thank you for your book reviews too. I chose to listen to The Maid and really enjoyed it. I kept finding things to do so I could keep listening! Really looking forward to vlogmas, but don't exhaust yourself. We appreciate you taking the time to vlog especially at such a busy time and working too. Take care. 😊

    Your colour work knitting looks incredible - I am contemplating my first colour work in 40 years??+ maybe some mittens. Thankyou for a wonderful podcast

    Hello Becky, a lovely episode to flop in front of with tea and crochet, thank you! I'm doing some experimental granny squares, alternating rounds of mustard-coloured Jamieson and Smith with some variegated sparkle yarn that runs through dark greys, beiges and reds ... hoping the result will look autumnal! I'd never normally mix 100% wool with man-made but, as I say, it's an experiment. Lovely to hear about all your projects x🙂

    Thank you for the book reports. I love every segment in your podcast but really appreciate the book reviews. I am usually trying to find something to read on my Kobo at 2 am and your lists of books read makes choosing my next great read a lot easier. I may also pick up the Christmas read for my own advent enjoyment…..

    A lovely video Becky full of wooly goodness with loads of inspiration! I love all your knitting and your choices of gorgeous wool! I loved reading the Harold Fry book too and didn’t want it to end. I also enjoyed Lessons in Chemistry and don’t know if you’ve read that yet as I think you would enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing you in Vlogmas wearing your Susan Crawford jumper x

    Thanks, again. I love your podcasts for the mellowness of them, the gardening and books in addition to the knitting. A book that I listen to every December is Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher. Have you listened to it? Looking forward to vlogmas. It helps get this widow through some long days. What you do here matters!

    • @BacktoBlighty
      @BacktoBlighty  11 місяців тому

    Hello Becky - this is the first time I’ve watched your podcast and I enjoyed it very much ❤your Yule jumper by Susan Crawford is a delight! I love colourwork and I recently made the Shetland Wool Week beanie for 2023 but ooh a full jumper - now that’s something to think about! I adore your yarn choices - especially the John Arbon yarn - I’m knitting a cardigan in Devonia at the moment - the colour is Nightshade and I really love the beautiful heathered effect it has. Thank you for the book recommendations - “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is going on my to-read List” thanks again Elizabeth 😊

    How lovely to see that you had uploaded another podcast. Some gorgeous yarn featured. I even managed to finish off hubby's cabled sweater. ( I appear to have been stuck on Sleeve Island for yonks!) Now I can get on with other WIPS. And maybe a new cast on. Always get a buzz around the prospect of a new project!

    • @BacktoBlighty

    I’m a rather new viewer but I must say I absolutely love the energy of your podcast. I was wondering if you could tell me the title of the first book you mentioned that you loved so much. I couldn’t pick up the name of the book. Also, I can’t figure out how to see all the information on Ravelry. I went on your page but I couldn’t find it 😢. Thank you!

    • @BacktoBlighty
      @BacktoBlighty  11 місяців тому

      Welcome to the podcast and thank you for taking the time to comment! The book was The unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. Which pattern were you looking for? You can always type them into the Ravelry search bar - I have written them on the screen. Sometimes UA-cam can be a bit glitchy with the links.
