Hello! It's Ewethful Fiber from the US! One of you viewers mentioned you to me! Congratulations on the mill!!! So exciting. And thank you for the kind mention, I'm so glad I've put some content out that is helpful to you and others!
Have to say, usually the whole ‘what I am drinking’ section of many podcasts is a bit tedious - however, your ant infused tea has definitely raised the bar for originality!
Love Episode Two ! Seeing Red playing in the dirty water, hilarious! Loved seeing the shed getting ready for the Mill, can’t wait to see more updates, thank you Dinnie !
Hello from Central Otago!👋. Anybody that’s a nurse ( I hated obstetrics!), loves knitting and can drink tea with an ant floating in it, is my kind of person!🤗. Have just found your podcasts and enjoying them, this one I watched while cutting up plums for chutney, made the job much more enjoyable. Have subscribed and now to watch the rest.
A healthy new grandbaby! Congrats. The mill logo is great. Can't wait to see the how the mill comes together. I am going to be getting a couple bee hives shortly and am so excited. Really like the glimpse of your gorgeous New Zealand farm and animals.
I'm so glad to have discovered your knitting podcast. Love that you're sharing images of your home/shed/fields/junkyard and of course all the animals. It's so much fun seeing where other knitters work and live.
I'm glad to see another podcast. I too was really upset with the Queen's passing. Congratulations on the new baby. I delivered my 2nd granddaughter who was born in the car.
@@myimperfectknittinglife9104 yes, it was my daughter's 2nd baby, I was driving her to hospital, the baby's head crowned, I pulled over to the side of the road, my daughter was in the front passenger seat, I just had to lean across she basically slid into my arms, my daughter was very calm, she even looked at the time on the dashboard, 4:01am, she just held the baby against her skin, as soon as I could see she was breathing and ok, we drove the last 5 minutes to the hospital, they came out with a wheel chair untangled them from the seat belt and delivered the placenta in the birthing suite. Mum and baby we're fine, grandma was a bit shaken lol. That baby girl is now 16. I was there at all three of my daughter's babies births.
so many great beginnings .... and of course ending with the demise of Our Queen ..... stability and fantastic work ethic . Back to beginnings ..As you say a privilege to be part of such precious times as the start of a new life . The Mill sounds such a fantastic idea . We too have Honesty boxes here in the North of Scotland , mainly for people selling free range eggs . I am not surprised you didnt has FO's ..... but I think Srring , gardens , Milll , baby oh my you deserve an extra coffee . Kerrie
I love your podcast!!! I thought your drawing of your Little Mill Over The Hill was very sweet! Love your knits and am going to try a few of the patterns you have show cased. The farm is so organic and a delight to see. Beautiful scenery of your farm. I’m a lover of wool, spinner and knitter. Thank you so much for making these videos and inspiring myself and sure others!💕💕💕
Looking forward to so many more of your podcasts. I want to congratulate you on your mill & have to say I love your label. Very clear & clean! My name is Alma & I am from Nebraska, USA.
Love your podcast! Have watched both and they're so relaxing and informative. Will look forward to more, and seeing your mill and what you create. I'm in Missouri, US. Knit, rug hook and weave. So happy you're here!
Dinie, you are just absolutely lovely! You have such a warm way of including your viewers in your everyday happenings. I am so happy that youtube recommended your channel, what a lucky day for me! I am from Oklahoma in the US and have only been knitting for about 5 years. Still quite a novice but I love making sweaters and vests. I consider my imperfections as giving the piece character :) Congratulations on your new bundle of joy. family is what makes my world go around anyway so I am so happy for you. I am looking forward to seeing your shed and machines. Thank you for sharing your craft with us. You are an amazing lady and I am so glad you decided to podcast.
I agree re imperfections. Life is for living and there are times you need to fix something but many times we don’t. Onto the next thing. Plus most people who don’t knit have no idea of the mistake or how much time goes into a garment. Stay well
Keep posting. Love your podcast. Love your shawl and your sweaters. I've been knitting with finer yarn. But now I'm thinking a heavier and coarser yarn might be fun as well. Thank you for showing us around your property. It is fantastic. I have just fallen in love with NZ, through your photos. Thank you again from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Thank you for another great vlog! Love your logo and its story! You are in the most beautiful setting -- don't be surprised if your property becomes a knitting destination!
Congratulations on the new grand baby! Your videos are so relaxing and down to earth. Thank you for providing a bit of calm in a very unsettled world and for inviting us into your life and property. Looking forward to more!
Oh I like that green for the sleeves…perhaps you could stripe the two that you’ve shown? That might look nice 👍🏼 What a lovely little bit of paradise you’ve got there…thanks for sharing 😊
I purchased a knitted sweater of unspun yarn many years ago when visiting New Zealannd. It is very warm and very heavy. Glad to have found your UA-cam channel. New Zealand is a wonderful country.
Congratulations on the birth of Sophie. I had the privilege of being a midwife myself for a decade. I would use the green on the sleeves. Looking forward to watching the Utivist grow. The idea of steeking scares me, maybe someday. I've just started an Aran throw tonight so enjoying that. It's my favourite type of knitting. Really looking forward to watching your mill take shape. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
Your podcast is relaxing and refreshing. I’m a new grandmother with my middle daughter giving birth in March to Abby and I’m in seventh heaven. I’ve been knitting for about 10 years and believe it helps me maintain my sanity. I look forward to seeing you whenever you post. From San Rafael, CA -all the best!
Congratulations on the birth of Sophie . I'm from Wellington, but live I Wales UK. Well done on continuing with your channel. Since watching your first episode, I've been feeling the urge to get out the knitting needles .
A lovely time with you. Thank you. Really enjoyed seeing the shawl especially and I have looked it up and started knitting it. Very interesting about the different types of yarns you are using. I could easily become a collector of wool from around the world. So much history and connection with people and their skills and culture. Best wishes from Western Australia.
Thank you again for at lovely springish episode of your podcast. It’s autumnish here in Denmark and even though I love the autumn colours and the coziness in side I do miss spring when I see it. The tickling inside that’s its here - what we all waited for throughout wintertime .😀 your sheep are so cute and your dog too. We have a westie - west highland white terrier. Cute active and stubborn 🤪❤️ regards from Denmark
Hi Dinie, I like your podcast and seeing your knits. I also really like your euphorbia trigona in the background. I have a huge one and love looking at it everyday. Take care!
Great to share your knits and yarns again, Dinie, and the views of where you live in New Zealand are lovely. Red looks like a very cheeky little pooch🐾😉 Good luck with the build 🍀 Jill. Cumbria. UK
How special to be there at the birth of your grandchildren. One daughter just wanted her husband & my youngest daughter wanted me there but lock down foiled that 🤨. Loving all your knits can’t wait to see more. Best wishes 😊
Hello from the west coast of Canada on Vancouver Island! What a gorgeous property you have - truly beautiful! I’m so looking forward to seeing your journey with the mill - I’m also a lover of unspun wool and of Nutiden in particular. Love your knits and must cast on the Versal . I am also an imperfect knitter after many years of knitting so you are certainly not alone with that. We have honesty boxes here too- nice to know that most people must be honest! I really enjoy your podcast - thank you!
I’m so happy that there’s an episode 2! I’m from Iceland but live in Sweden since 1994. I’ve been in NewZealand and got this “home feeling” staying there. ♥️
Hello Dinie, congratulations on little Sophia’s birth…hope mother and daughter are doing well…love the sweaters and shawl you shared…I love your logo…and the shed…here in USA, we have a “SHE SHED” for crafts, knitting, cross stitch and crochet…I have used one brand of un spun yarn here in the states…it was not labeled as such and I was trying to make a simple hat and scarf…really thought it would pull apart with wearing so it was put away…will try to get it out to see what can do with it…it will be so interesting to see your filming about the installation of your wool mill…you might want to consider renting to others that want to process their own wool…I see a busy future for you…best wishes and happy stitching ❣️
Haha I’m knitting with that sock yarn a pair of socks. Yours is making a cute sweater. I Love that high neck line as well. It covers wrinkles and keeps me warm. Love your style.
So happy to see you again! Congratulations on the arrival of "Little Sophie!" I love to crochet and knit baby items. I'm an American and I was so saddened by the Queen's passing. I've always admired her strength and grace in handling even in the most troubling of times. I loved when she shared her humorous side too. The green yarn choice for your vest is a perfect color match. A gray would have been pretty too. Loved sharing a stroll out to the "Little Mill Over the Hill" and seeing the honesty bin. I've seen one here in California near my Auntie's house. I had a giggle over it myself. 😊 Looking forward to our next visit, Dinie. Happy stitching! ☮️💜🧶
Lovely to see you back. Congratulations on your new granddaughter. I think I prefer the green yarn for the sleeves of the children's top. Your shawl is beautiful and you're right, it's doesn't need the extra lace edging. Good luck with the mill. Hope the installation all goes to plan. Very exciting for you. 💚
Thrilled to see your second podcast. So many congratulations on the birth of your new grand-daughter: your relief and joy are palpable. Thank you for showing us a little of your outdoor space: how many sheep do you have? Red is adorable: such a cheeky wee boy in the water. Are you the bee keeper, or your husband? Looking forward to seeing how the mill set up works out and to see the beginnings of your new venture.
You had me in stitches...I laughed so hard... tasting ant in the coffee and tea. 🤣😅😂 that totally made my morning snapping beans for canning this morning. Thanks 😊
Congrats on your latest grandchild. Your mill is exciting. Possum yarn- I have used it before and knitted socks and I love it. It was blended with merino wool. So soft and warm.
So glad to see your 2nd podcast! I love N.Z. - my late husband was born in Taihape, and we had just finished building a house in Ohope Beach when he passed away. I still have a ball of merino/possum yarn left in my stash! Good luck with your mill, and cheers from Vancouver, Canada!
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. I hope you have some good memories from here too. Ohope is about an hour from here and a lovely place. I would love to visit Canada.
Congratulations on the new baby! I'm enjoying your podcast very much. I did a search and found that Clifton Wool n Things is/was located in Dunedin, New Zealand - at least it was in 2011.
You might have enough yarn to knit a picot edge on the fisherwomen's shawl. Beautiful color. I really like all your pattern, yarn and color choices. Your podcasts are very interesting.
Gorgeous images to close. You’ve inspired me to use Plotulopi from my stash to make Utivist. I’m also new to Nutiden and test knitting for Ailbiona McLochlainn. Unspun yarn is a meditation
We can live vicariously through you and your adventures! Thank you for sharing your life with us, I am enjoying every minute of your videos. The best is red in the bucket which reminded me that I still enjoy stomping in puddles during and/or after a rain and shuffling through the fallen leaves! Cheers and hugs from Minnesota.
Hello from Illinois, in the middle of the state. My favorite TV show is Call the Midwife while I knit. Enjoyed your podcasts. Congratulations on your new grandbaby!
You have a little piece of Heaven with your home. Such beautiful views. So happy to see your second episode. I’m exited for you to get your milk up and running for you. 💜
Good news about your new granddaughter, what an experience to remember and recount…catching her into the world. Had to laugh about the ant flavoured water, that would be the Formic acid that she tastes. See you next time!
Fantastic - loved this 2nd podcast as well - now feeling very homesick for NZ. What a perfect spot for a mill and divine location for a place to live. I am certain your following will continue to grow fast - great knitting content - and everyone is no doubt fascinated by your forthcoming enterprise too !!
Just watched your first podcast and was going to comment how much I would love to see your mill adventures. And the second episode popped up. So happy that you decided to join the world of podcasters :)
Thank you so much for another wonderful podcast! Thank. you for sharing your home with us...I love being out in the country! I love the Kællingesjal shawl! Good luck with the mill...hope the move goes smoothly!! See you at the next podcast!
So glad to see another podcast. My goddaughter lives in NZ and I would love so much to visit her there. Congratulations on the birth of Sophie and Thankyou for your commiserations about the Queen. Your shawl is absolutely beautiful and I was hoping you were going to tell us what the colour is because it was perfect. I can’t wear anything itchy (except on my feet so I knit all mine and husband’s sox!) so am always looking for recommendations for non-itchy yarn! Lovely to see the shed too. Thankyou.
I purchased 3 balls of Outlaw Yarn - Bohemia Sport - Absinthe while in Auckland in 2017! I not knit it up as yet but HAVE with possum previously and it is great! Have enjoyed your first two podcasts - hoping for more!
Congratulations on your precious granddaughter. I actually caught my granddaughter as she arrived in the world! The most amazing thing to happen to me. I loved it!! Then I cut the cord as Daddy was not up to that task. I live in Kent in the UK. With my husband on our 6 acre small holding. There we have 3 donkeys, and 2 ponies. The rest of the land is liveries for other peoples horses. I have 3 daughters, 1 son, and 3 grandchildren. I’m a beginner when it comes to knitting. My dream is to knit a pair of socks. Keep up the good work. Tina
@@myimperfectknittinglife9104 No it wasn’t a planned home birth. My daughter wanted one but was talked out of it! The story goes like this. She was 10 Faye’s over due. The midwife came to her home and gave her a internal. All was well. Then the next day she went into labour. I went with her and her partner to the hospital. The midwife stated she wasn’t in labour. In fact the midwife refused to even examine her. Told her she should go home and come back when she was in labour. I noticed Kates face change. I asked if she was having pains. She said she was. It was then she screamed. Poor girl gave one heck of a push and out came my granddaughter. Because she was born with her fist up next to her face it caused Kate to tear badly. In the end I was literally holding my granddaughter for over 90 minutes while she was stitched up. Great bonding for me with but not so much for Kate. She was a tiny 6lbs 2oz baby. My granddaughter is now 7 years old. We are still close.
god bless, i can’t wait to see more and learn more from your stories and content in your fabulous knitting podcasts, i’m from The Pas, Manitoba ,Canada😊
Hello! First of all, I'm new here and I love this podcast, so calming and comforting, thank you for joining the online knitting community! I'm too shy to do that but maybe one day. Secondly, congratulations on your newborn granddaughter! If you like rustic yarn, I suggest you the Sardianian yarn from "La Robbia", it's either non-dyed yarn or dyed with erbs and natural materials from the island!
Congratulations for having new granddaughter🎊, your knits are beautiful so is your beautiful farm and you super cute dog and sheeps, is your dog a terrier? She is beautiful! what type of sheeps are they? Marino or BFL? The sound of spring and the hills are soooo amazing, good luck with your mill machine, and thank you x 💐
Hello! It's Ewethful Fiber from the US! One of you viewers mentioned you to me! Congratulations on the mill!!! So exciting. And thank you for the kind mention, I'm so glad I've put some content out that is helpful to you and others!
Thank you! You are Very inspirational and I’m really taking things as they come.
Have to say, usually the whole ‘what I am drinking’ section of many podcasts is a bit tedious - however, your ant infused tea has definitely raised the bar for originality!
Hehe. Don’t even think I could top that! My water beetle brain.
Loved you podcast immediately! Hope you will keep on posting because the knitting community need people like you. Thank you ! Isabelle from Canada 🇨🇦
Love Episode Two ! Seeing Red playing in the dirty water, hilarious! Loved seeing the shed getting ready for the Mill, can’t wait to see more updates, thank you Dinnie !
Yay so glad you made another podcast ,CONGRATULATIONS to you all on the birth of your granddaughter
Hello from Central Otago!👋. Anybody that’s a nurse ( I hated obstetrics!), loves knitting and can drink tea with an ant floating in it, is my kind of person!🤗. Have just found your podcasts and enjoying them, this one I watched while cutting up plums for chutney, made the job much more enjoyable. Have subscribed and now to watch the rest.
I love podcasts whilst working in the kitchen. Definitely helps pass the time!

Oh my gosh I really like that green for the sleeves, it pops. Shhhh nobody will ever notic the button hole. I love that shawl.
Regarding your little vest, what a sweet gift! The green sleeves will be awesome! Your shawl is just lovely, really enjoying your channel.😃🇺🇸
I'm so glad to have discovered your knitting podcast. Love that you're sharing images of your home/shed/fields/junkyard and of course all the animals. It's so much fun seeing where other knitters work and live.

Love your podcast! Have watched both and they're so relaxing and informative. Will look forward to more, and seeing your mill and what you create. I'm in Missouri, US. Knit, rug hook and weave. So happy you're here!
I’m really enjoying your podcast and especially loved all the videos and photos of where you live. What a beautiful part of the world!

Keep posting. Love your podcast. Love your shawl and your sweaters.
I've been knitting with finer yarn. But now I'm thinking a heavier and coarser yarn might be fun as well.
Thank you for showing us around your property. It is fantastic.
I have just fallen in love with NZ, through your photos. Thank you again from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Wow! I think Canada is such a beautiful part of the world. I do feel very blessed though about where I am now.

Congratulations on the arrival of "Little Sophie!"
I love to crochet and knit baby items.
I'm an American and I was so saddened by the Queen's passing. I've always admired her strength and grace in handling even in the most troubling of times. I loved when she shared her humorous side too.

Funny thing was my son said that today on the radio was a discussion about ant taste!! Hehe
Fantastic - loved this 2nd podcast as well - now feeling very homesick for NZ. What a perfect spot for a mill and divine location for a place to live. I am certain your following will continue to grow fast - great knitting content - and everyone is no doubt fascinated by your forthcoming enterprise too !!
Just watched your first podcast and was going to comment how much I would love to see your mill adventures. And the second episode popped up. So happy that you decided to join the world of podcasters :)
Beautiful views your a lucky lady to live in a beautiful place 😍
Very lucky

Great news about your granddaughter.the queen will be missed.xxx🐝
She definitely will!!!
So glad to see another podcast. My goddaughter lives in NZ and I would love so much to visit her there. Congratulations on the birth of Sophie and Thankyou for your commiserations about the Queen.
Your shawl is absolutely beautiful and I was hoping you were going to tell us what the colour is because it was perfect. I can’t wear anything itchy (except on my feet so I knit all mine and husband’s sox!) so am always looking for recommendations for non-itchy yarn! Lovely to see the shed too. Thankyou.
Love your podcast. Your workshed is going to be wonderful. Love your label idea and the logo is very cute.

Love the shawl and the dye job!
Congratulations on your precious granddaughter. I actually caught my granddaughter as she arrived in the world! The most amazing thing to happen to me. I loved it!! Then I cut the cord as Daddy was not up to that task.
I live in Kent in the UK. With my husband on our 6 acre small holding. There we have 3 donkeys, and 2 ponies. The rest of the land is liveries for other peoples horses. I have 3 daughters, 1 son, and 3 grandchildren. I’m a beginner when it comes to knitting. My dream is to knit a pair of socks.
Keep up the good work. Tina
So special!!! Was it a planned home birth?
Wonderful story! I try and encourage family to catch baby and support them. So special
@@myimperfectknittinglife9104 No it wasn’t a planned home birth. My daughter wanted one but was talked out of it! The story goes like this. She was 10 Faye’s over due. The midwife came to her home and gave her a internal. All was well. Then the next day she went into labour. I went with her and her partner to the hospital. The midwife stated she wasn’t in labour. In fact the midwife refused to even examine her. Told her she should go home and come back when she was in labour. I noticed Kates face change. I asked if she was having pains. She said she was. It was then she screamed. Poor girl gave one heck of a push and out came my granddaughter. Because she was born with her fist up next to her face it caused Kate to tear badly. In the end I was literally holding my granddaughter for over 90 minutes while she was stitched up. Great bonding for me with but not so much for Kate. She was a tiny 6lbs 2oz baby. My granddaughter is now 7 years old. We are still close.
What beautiful scenery! ❤
Lovely!
god bless, i can’t wait to see more and learn more from your stories and content in your fabulous knitting podcasts, i’m from The Pas, Manitoba ,Canada😊
Thank you. So special to connect with someone across the world with similar interests.
Your videos at the end of this episode were so lovely! 😻
Hello! First of all, I'm new here and I love this podcast, so calming and comforting, thank you for joining the online knitting community! I'm too shy to do that but maybe one day. Secondly, congratulations on your newborn granddaughter!
If you like rustic yarn, I suggest you the Sardianian yarn from "La Robbia", it's either non-dyed yarn or dyed with erbs and natural materials from the island!
Ooh I will check that out. Thank you
One day. Just bite the bullet and give it a go. The knitting community is kind.
yes go green
I did!
Congratulations for having new granddaughter🎊, your knits are beautiful so is your beautiful farm and you super cute dog and sheeps, is your dog a terrier?

Ant-infused tea, just think of all the extra protein you're getting 🤣
