- Hello! It's been a while - I filmed this video way back, before Christmas - but I've only just got around to editing and uploading it. It's not my usual content, but I wanted to bring everyone up to speed! I will have another video up soon (I filmed it back to back with this one but sadly there was an issue with the sound so I'm going to re-record it next week).
Since filming, I've had top surgery - which I'll talk more about at some point, and I'm recovering well! I've done a little bit of knitting and I'm planning on being back at work in 3 weeks or so. Thank you for your patience!

My sincere sympathy Jude I knew your Mum had passed I am so sorry to hear about your Dad Great health to you balance peace and calm
hey Jennifer! please excuse my cheekiness as replying to you through Jude's channel, however, I have british chums in Saskatoon (they emigrated there 15yrs ago) x just wanted to conect as its not often one sees Saskatoon in the comments! best wishes from South Wales UK x
What Jennifer said. >Hugs
Oh Jude! It's incredibly generous you took the time to share this update with your followers. When it rains it pours, but this is a hurricane followed by a tornado and a tsunami. I hope you can feel all the love and support we're sending you through our little screens. Wishing you safe healing through it all.
Jude it was great of you to take time out with your update. You are such a master story teller and we all appreciated the Not My Cat review. Take good care of yourself and may your recovery be quick and easy. May 2023 will be a new journey filled with balance, prosperity and joy.
Jude, I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum and dad. You reminded me that I lost my car in a parking garage a few weeks after my dad died. Such panic, and the people who were trying to help me definitely thought I’d lost my mind. I hope top surgery recovery is going smoothly and that 2023 has amazingly good things coming your way.
Loosing both parents in such a short time can make you feel cut loose and detached but remember family is who you make it and we are all here for you!
Its so good to get an update from you Jude! Just remember your Stranded peeps are hoping for a much better 2023.X
Jude, So sorry for the loss of your parents. Stay strong and know how much this community cares.
Oh Jude, my deepest sympathy for all you are going thru. Actually your windshield wash story sounds like a funny little message that your Dad is still watching over you... At least to me. 💜 May your parent's memories abide for blessings, and one day bring you peace 🕊️ And excited for you, with your top surgery coming up! ✨ ❤️ 🍀 🤗
I read your updates on Instagram. I was heartsick that life was coming down about your ears. You sound like you are surviving and sometimes that is a victory. Your community is here and we love you.
Thank you so much!
Nothing left to give, and you’re still giving! 🥰. Thank you Jude… the universe was indeed cruel. Glad you found the strength to be at home for your parents, so sorry for your great loss. May you find comfort and peace
Cancer does truly suck. Lost my mom to lung cancer in 2000 and my dad from complications of cancer. Definitely sending all good thoughts your way. So excited that your top surgery went well. And I fully endorse spending time enjoying life!!
My mom is currently dealing with CKD and I absolutely vibe with your morbid humor. And you are right, if you don't laugh, you'd cry. Hope the worst is over. Love.
I sincerely hope that 2023 is 100% better for you Jude. You really deserve some peace and happiness. 💜
I don't often comment but I've been watching for years, I am so so so sorry for your losses. I am thinking of you and hoping for a healing 2023, your content inspires many but you are human so please take the time you need to have all the feelings.
Thank you so much.
Wow Jude, I can’t imagine doing all the admin stuff by yourself whilst grieving for both your parents and still manage to smile a little my heart goes out to you. Wishing you all the best with your top surgery. Thank you so much for sharing ,sending you love and hugs ❤️🥰
I’m so sorry. I hope you can feel all the love support from your viewers. You are very loved.
I'm so sorry for your losses. It's hell losing people, especially so close together. We appreciate you updating us on your life, but please don't feel pressure to return before you're ready.
Wishing you well in 2023!! Thanks for catching up!
Let 2023 be your year of grace--be kind to yourself. When the slumps come, remember you are still grieving even if it isn't apparent, so step back, rest until the music starts again and you can dance.
I am so hoping you find your dyejo in 2023, take time and know we’re all here waiting for when you’re ready ❤
Jude, I'm so so sorry. My mother passed away nearly 12 years ago from pancreatic cancer. You're right - cancer is vile, particularly pancreatic cancer as it hides. The admin following death is just miserable. I'm just so sorry that you're dealing with all of this on your own.
Sorry for your loss of both parents in a few short weeks ! What a year for you 🫂 Like others have said, we around the world 🇺🇸are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. You have grown so much from when you first started Stranded, Jude! The strong person you are today has allowed you to go through this dark time in your life and emerge out the other side - I know both of your parents are so proud of who you are today! You shared your mum with us so we too got to know and love her. We could see the pride in the strong person you are today in the way they looked at you.
Happy to hear about your top surgery 🎉 Hopefully all goes well and you recovery quickly!
We are looking forward to what 2023 brings in your life and Stranded’s. Looking forward to the weather forecasts & seeing more of Not My Cat too 😉 Happy to hear you will be making time to enjoy life- Hang in there kiddo! 🫂
Sending you all the healing and good vibes, Jude
Thank you for taking the time to be in contact with us at a time when life has been so unfair and rough. There are so many of us who care about you and I hope that somehow you’ll be able to feel that energy and support whenever you need it. I hope that by now your recovery from top surgery is getting easier and that you will be blessed with a year of rebuilding and when many good things happen for you. As others have mentioned, it was an absolute delight each time your mum joined you on the podcast and she, too, became a wonderful online friend. I hope that you will reconfigure your life so that you are able to enjoy developing Stranded but also have time to enrich yourself with more time to so the things that feed your soul. Take care and lots of ❤️ from a friend in California.
Jude, my thoughts and prayers have been with you since the loss of your Mum...and now your Dad. Please remember that you are not alone. You have a "fiber" family in this community that you've built with Stranded and that's pretty amazing! Thank you for taking the time to update those of us who are not on other social media platforms. I hope you have a speedy recovery from surgery and take all the time you need for YOU! Take care Jude!
Honestly, I hope this year is the most boring year for you, Jude. No mayor upheavals and just day to day life with a bit less work. Giving you all the positive energy I can!
So sorry for your double loss!! But so glad to see you & that you spent some time telling us about the past few months. I totally get the ‘gallows humor’ 😂 😅 I’m looking forward to seeing what you get up to in the new year!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!! All the best ❤❤❤
I won't say that your 2023 can only be better than 2022, because that's just asking for trouble, but I'll fervently hope it. I also hope your top surgery has gone smoothly and that you are healing well and not getting crushed by paperwork. Thank you for the update, Jude; like many others, I am keeping you in my thoughts.
Thank you, Jude! Peace be with you.
Sending you all me and my wife's love and well wishes!!! I hope you top surgery goes swimmingly!
You put an enormously brave face on for us! Words fail but all the most positive wishes are felt for you Jude. x
Oh no! I’m so sorry. I never had the pleasure of knowing your obviously amazing mum. And then your dad! I think of my own, only child. And you are a total joy. I’m looking forward to catching up on your channel. And I think you’re terrific. All the best going forward, for a happy, productive and wonderful life!
Dear Jude, you are in my thoughts often. 2023 just has to be better. I hope your recovery has gone well.
Dearest Jude, I hope you are recovering well despite having to cope with grief as well as recovering from major surgery. Take time to care for yourself and we will be here when you are ready and able to rejoin us. Sending love from sunny hot Trinidad 🥰
Jude, I am wishing you the very best 2023, Cancer really does SUCK! I am blessed to have seen your mom on many podcasts and I thank you…. Thinking of you… You are an amazing human! Thank you for sharing your life and your journey… Sending love … Kat
Wishing you a much less stressful 2023, full of peace, love and healing.
Oh, Jude, my heart goes out to you. So sorry for your huge losses. Please be kind to yourself in your time of grief. ❤
Thank you for taking the time to update us all Jude! Wishing for you the best 2023! Surely there is only good things ahead for you!
Yesterday afternoon, as I was shopping my stash to prepare my next projects, I pulled out two of yours and swiftly after that, went to your website to check if you had left a little message… and there you are a few hours later … like everyone who has heard of yours dreadfully sad news, I am sending you all my deepest condolences for your Dad’s passing. Too much for one person, well it sounds that it is even harder than that… I do so very much hope that your operation went well and that both your body and mind will find a little solace in this much needed rest period… With lots of affection and a few cuddles to Not My Cat whom I bet isn’t leaving you much now that you’re home … 🤗🐾🤗🐾
I miss the Stranded Elf! I enjoyed your mother child relationship.
Bless you Jude. It has been a terrible year for you. I think we all miss the wonderful stranded elf, never again to see in your video's.
Relieved to get an update, Jude. So sorry for all your troubles. We'll be waiting for everything to settle down. Be a good patient so you can get back to work. Hugs.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My mama passed away from cancer in 2021 and my father passed 7 mos later. The estate stuff was so stressful. Knitting and crochet really helped with anxiety and stress when I was going through it all. Be kind to yourself.
I am still in disbelief that you went through so much in a space of 5 weeks. Please take all the time you need to know that people all over are thinking about you and have so much love and support for you. I hope your surgery went well and you're taking good care of yourself.
Sending you so much love and support from Vermont. Hoping 2023 can be much more gentle with you. Thank you for taking the time to update your community.
Oh Jude, this is so heartbreaking and devastating for you. What an absolute s*** time. No words other than I am so sorry. I met you and your mum at Unravel a few years ago and it was lovely( at least for me!) Fingers crossed everything has gone well with the top surgery.
Thank you so much!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear parents. Hang in there. We are all praying for you.
Remember to breathe. I missed your wonderful vids. Sending you love and good vibes.
It's so good to see you! So sorry about your parents, truly. 💜 I hope your surgery went perfectly well. So exciting!
Lovely to see you again. Thanks for keeping me company during dinner. Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.
Aww Jude - I just want to give you a hug. I hope the time away has been relaxing, healing, and hopefully you had time to create and do something for you! Sending love!
I'm so sorry for your losses. It's mind blowing how many changes you are experiencing. I pray you have lots of friends and family to support you. Keep talking, its the best thing you can do!!
Jude, I can't imagine how hard this has been. I'm so terribly sorry, and I hope 2023 finds a way to make even a fraction back up to you.
YOU. ARE. LOVED. didn't think I could love you and being invited to your journey any more than I have, but yes, you are loved even more now. Please try the podcast "Griefcast"..... Good mix of practical friendly suggestions with a lot of gallows humor.
Wishing you the very best for 2023, Jude! Great seeing you again.
Deepest sympathy on the loss of both of your parents ❤❤❤❤❤ And so close together! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗Have been thinking of you and praying daily!! Take care of yourself!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Oh my goodness Jude I was reading the transcript because I didn’t have time to watch just like “no, after the year Jude has had Not My Cat is not allowed to be anything but fine - it’s just not allowed’ so I am relieved to hear that all seems well once again in that regard. I hope your recovery is going well and the pile of admin is getting smaller. Here’s to a fresh start for 2023 🐈
So happy to see your smiling face again. I hope the recovery is going well and that you are crafting and relaxing. Looking forward to seeing more from you in 2023!
Reminds me of when I lost my car in Birmingham city centre, my 2 young boys and I spent 20 mins looking in a car park. I then asked the people in the shopmobility centre to help me, they took one look at my car park ticket and told me I was in the wrong car park 🙄🤣
Glad to see you back after what must have been a horrendous time. Look forward to your future videos x
❤🕯️Hoping 2023 will be better in all aspects of your life, Jude. Here is to a good recovery. Hugs 😌
Thinking of you as you deal with so very much. So glad to see your face pop up on my screen this morning!
I am so very sorry for the loss of your parents. I truly hope you have some good friends to lean on right now. Your subscribers love you. Hoping for a much better 2023!
My Mother passed due to Covid and Dementia two days before our American Thanksgiving in 2020. Estate stuff is very difficult to deal with and know that I am sending all my positive thoughts your way this day and each day. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us...!!!
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that!!
You dear child. This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and it was endearing. The choice you’ve made on how to impart private information to the world at large is mature and graceful. Based on this video, I’m really looking forward to you next video with content about fiber! May your surgery go well and be with limited pain. Press on!
Thank you for sharing these bits of life with us, strangers on the internet. We are all wondering how you're doing and caring when the answer is "not great at all, but hanging in there". 2022 has not been kind to you. I don't know what to say that can be meaningful to you. So here's to adding my voice to the crowd to wish you a better 2023.
Wonderful to have a catch up Jude and to know you are OK. I have been thinking about you and all you’ve been going through. I’m really glad you haven’t lost your wonderful sense of humour throughout this horrendous time! Wishing you a speedy recovery after your surgery and please update your loyal Stranded followers when you can! But most of all, take care of yourself (and the cat xx)
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember seeing your mum on the videos a while back. She was so much fun. 😔🥲
Wishing you comforting memories of your parents. Also wishing you a 2023 where you can laugh because it's joyful, not because if not you'll cry. Looking forward to seeing you smile.
oh Jude, I wish I could reach through my computer and give you a huge hug. goodness, you have been through so much and you are so resilient.
Oh Jude, What a tough time for you. Everytime I knit with your yarn in my stash I will be praying for you. We are all here for you.
Jude, I am in awe of your determination. There are really no words I can say for all that you endured in 2022, but it’s great to hear you laughing and making the best of a horrible situation. Sending so much love and hugs your way as you recover and embark on a new year.
Jude, you have been in my thoughts over the past several months, I am so sorry for your losses. I hope your surgery recovery is going well.
Jude, thanks so much for keeping us up to date, hopefully, after your surgery at the end of last year, you can draw a line under 2022 and start afresh. I know nothing will be the same again and so many things will remind you of your parents. I think 'not my cat' was missing you. Glad she's home and ok. Thinking of you, hopefully your surgery and recovery have gone well. xx
With such a run of stressful events I hope things start to ease up this year and improve for you. I was worried about how you were coping with so many challenges at once. I'm glad you put up a video update to ease the mind of a stranger on youtube who cares about you. You owe me nothing and yet gift me spiritually with a good yarn.
Virtual hugs and a speedy recovery to you, Jude!
Love and hugs. Condolences for the loss of both mum and dad🧶💜🧶💜🧶💜🇦🇺best wishes for the future 🧶💜🧶💜🧶💜🇦🇺🇦🇺🧶💜🇦🇺🧶💜🇦🇺
Dear Jude My heart goes out to you. What a tough time you have had! Thank you for taking the time to give an update. I have been thinking of you and certainly hope that 2023 will bring comfort and joy through your work and through all the people who care for you. 💜
Thank you so much for the update! I know this is the worst of times... may you be healing inside and out!
Not my Cat is a very special cat indeed! Just thinking how all he gathered at the owners home! Love you share not my cat with us! 💕 🐱
Thinking of you so much. Glad you have a supportive knitting community
Peace and love. As a only child that has lost both parents I understand. Love to you.
Thanks for the update. I hope that being able to edit the video means your recovery is going well. Big hug 🤗
Oh Jude, I'm so sorry!! 😢How tragic 😭😢😭Please take all the time you need to deal and feel and heal, and know that you are loved and thought of by your online community! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Oh, Jude, my heart goes out to you, so much to process and recovering from your surgery as well, do hope you’re ok, take each day as it comes, they will be there in spirit and immensely proud of you. I’m with you on the screen wash! Love your sense of humour. X💕
My gosh! How much can one person go through 😭 Sending a huge “screw 2022” on your behalf and a “Bring on 2023” from Victoria Australia. I’m desperately hoping your top surgery goes off without a hitch and you’re able to do lots of knitting during recovery 🤗
What a time for you Jude. I think life threw everything at you in 2022. And you can still laugh and joke - what an amazing person you are. I hope 2023 brings a wonderful year for you. xx
I am so sorry for your loss. So glad 2022 is behind us. Thinking of you and sending hugs
I'm so sorry to hear about your parents 💔 I can see everyone is coming here and offering support and I too would like you to know you're in my thoughts and prayers 🧶❤️
Bless you Jude. If anyone deserves a break and lots of good luck it's you.
It’s good to see you again. 2022 has been brutal. My daughter and husband both were diagnosed with cancer this last year too, but both not eminently terminal. I’m inspired by your fortitude amidst the tragic loss you experienced. You weren’t able to properly grieve the loss of you mom, then your dad passes. Give yourself all the time you need to let the burden of the events of the past year lighten up. You have all our support and love. You are not alone in this world… Peace, Love and Hugs from California. Remember, it’s never “goodbye”… It’s “until we meet again”. ❤
Oh Jude. You've had too much sadness and stress this past year. The grief is hard enough without all the administrative nightmare that goes along with it. I've been there and know it's so hard. Just know that there are thousands of us who care about you and are supportive, although not really in a helpful way. Wish I could do something more. Wishing you a fabulous new year. You deserve it! Hugs.
I'm so sorry to hear your parents have passed away. Much love xxx
Thanks for the update Jude, it’s great to see your face and know that you’re “ok”. Hope all is going well with the top surgery and you are taking time to recover, both physically and mentally.
It is too much for one person. (from one only child to another). You are such a strong person but even strong people need support. So many people are sending you love--me included.
Thanks for your update. I remember your mum and dad from an earlier visit. I'm so sorry for your loss of them, but hope you can feel comfort from their love and support in your life and journey.
Wishing you a new year bringing with it all the best for you and achieving your best life in the future. Keep knitting and being you.!
OMG Jude, I just tuned into your podcast. What a shock! My heart hurts for you. My sincere condolences for the lose of your parents. How I wish that I could give you hug. 😚 Best wishes for your surgery. I am sending you all the best wishes for 2023. 😚😚😚
You are so right Jude. Cancer sucks. I’ve had stage 3 bowel cancer and my Dad is stage 4 prostate cancer. It’s a bastard disease to take your loved ones away. Sending you lots of love and wishes for a speedy recovery from your surgery. Sam xxx
Oh Sam I’m so sorry to hear that! Sending both you and your Dad all my love 💕
I’m so glad that you posted this video. You’ve been on my mind. Only you can make light of some dismal events and draw a smile. I enjoy your humor. We all have to laugh more. I recall losing my mom a few years ago. I look forward to seeing your mom’s quilts and blankets. Hope that the top surgery went well. Take care of Not My Cat, the plants and most importantly YOU!!💜💜. See you when you’re ready to be upright and yourself. Cheers! Lisa
Jude, thank you for sharing this update with us. I am truly sorry for your loss, just heartbreaking. I hope that your surgery recovery is going well. I am wishing you all the best in 2023 and want to remind you to be kind to yourself and patient. Your online friends are here for you. Sending you all the hugs!
It was so good to see you and hear your laugh despite the crappy situation. I’m so glad you are doing well after surgery , sending wishes for a better year in 2023 ❤
