The bike story was precious. Good mom!
You are so kind. Each day is trying!!! Parenting is not for the faint hearted! :)
Really enjoyed your podcast and hearing about life in Bermuda. My son just turned 16 a couple of weeks ago here in Australia and we have to spend 120 hours in the car with him while he learns to drive. Once he is 17, he can take a test and be on his own in the car. It is really nerve-wracking being a parent. His sister took 2 years to get her hours up and she (and we) were so excited when she got her licence at 18. Not long after she had huge accident at speed and rolled the car (someone had broken down in the middle of the road and she didnt see it until too late). Thankfully she was able to crawl out without any injuries. I am so grateful. Now with my son, I am not in any hurry for him to get his licence and be driving on his own.
Love your designs. Subscribed and looking forward to more podcasts. Sadly I wont make it to Rhinebeck for at least another couple of years. One day. :)
Oh wow! What a shame for your daughter! A real fright for everyone!!! I love that in Australia you have to spend 120 hours in the car. Amazing!
Thanks for watching, hoping to publish another next week.
My husband and I honeymooned in Bermuda 46 years ago and went back again on a cruise about 5 years ago. Love it there!
Wonderful! It's a special spot
Congrats on the podcast, please continue if your life allows! I love your style and now have many of your patterns in my favorites!
Thank you so much!
Thank you Beth! Very enjoyable and always a bonus to get to know the designer’s mindset and intentions behind the garment. 👍💜
Thanks Kelly! So glad you enjoyed it
I am so excited to see someone in a warm climate knitting wool! There are so many beautiful wools to knit with!
Oh yes! Lots of wonderful wools to knit with! Thank you!
Really enjoying this podcast! Thanks
I had to come watch again. And I can't get enough of your new top, Deepdene. That texture is stunning.
Thank you so much for watching again!
I love your patterns so much. This is a treat.
Wonderful! Thank you!
Good podcast, thanks~👍🏽
What a treat!! Tuned into YT today to view the usual knitting podcasts and I'm thrilled you popped up on the feed. I hope your time allows more of these because I've enjoyed hearing the thoughts behind the designs and about the beautiful land you knit in. Thank you
Thank you so much!

Congratulations on your very first podcast Beth 🥂
So great to watch your first episode and looking forward to the next one!
Thank you!
We spent 5 years living in Bermuda
.....our house had a fireplace which we laughed about when we first moved in
....and proceeded to use constantly through every single winter 🤣
Thank you so much for this little nostalgic visit combined with my new passion for knitting!
Yes - ha, ha! A fireplace is the key to the home in the winter here in Bermuda! Sounds like you have great memories of our funny little island. Fabulous!
Lovely patterns, lovely podcast! Thank you for beginning them. ❤
Thank you!
Love your podcast and your Knits….Made the Horseshoebay sweater and its a favorit…..really like you’re telling us to find our own fit….looking forward to more💚
Thank you so much!
Fabulous content! I enjoyed this episode and cannot wait for the next one. I love the descriptions of your knits and your why.
Thank you so much!
More! Please.
So glad I found your podcast! My family and I will be visiting your beautiful island next year so I'm looking forward to following you and checking out your designs.
Yay! Thank you!
I love your designs! Looking forward to the next one! Beautiful sweaters ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Enjoyed the podcast! Of course love your patterns and knitting! Was great listening to your parent story and life on Bermuda! Look forward to next one❤️
Thank you!
Congratulations on your first GREAT podcast. Your sweaters are beautiful, Beth. Thank you for sharing your life in Bermuda. Truly enjoyed it.
Thank you so much!
Really happy that your channel showed up in my UA-cam recommendations - Your designs are beautiful! I love hearing your design process thoughts. I tend to adjust as I go in my knitting to adapt things to fit me better; I’ll make myself notes and use / re-use those notes in my next and future makes.
Yes I do the same. It's all about exploring what's best for your own body type isn't it? I think a lifelong and interesting challenge :)
What a lovely vlog. I first heard of your knits on “For the Fun of Knit” as she was test knitting the Boxy Blue and I just loved it. I am planning to knit that fairly soon once I have a couple of Wips off my needles. Love from Calgary.
Oh thank you!
So glad I came across your video! I have great memories of Bermuda with friends. Just learning to knit so will be a while before I tackle a sweater but yours are beautiful and have me inspired. Thank you!
Wonderful!
So glad you have a podcast - really enjoyed it and I love your style and ideas. I just put a few of your patterns in my cart and I look forward to seeing you more! Also I love hearing about life in Bermuda!😊
Wonderful! Thank you!

Thank you!
Loved your podcast! I’ve admired your patterns so much, and when I saw on Needles At The Ready you had started podcasting I immediately subscribed. You sweaters are so lovely. Looking forward to the next episode😊
Wonderful! Thank you!
Really happy to have found you and congratulations on your new vlog adventure. I discovered your designs through Ray at Needles at the ready and "pouf" you came randomlyon my YT feed. I absolutely love your Boxy Blue design as I have a soft spot for 60s designs. I must say that the Breakfast at Tiffany has that vibe too. More projects for my needles😊😊
Welcome aboard and thank you!
Great introductory podcast. I like your design ethic and style and am looking forward to more podcasts. I love the raglan and bobble pieces. Your style sense works for me!
Wonderful! Thank you!
Oh I just found your new podcast. I can’t wait for deep dean. I’m in Brisbane australia, similar climate to Bermuda . But we’re going into our hot humid summer . I made your chalice vine sweater this year. I love it so much .
Welcome aboard! So glad you liked the Chalice Vine Sweater. Thank you!
Can’t wait for your new raglan. Please hurry it up and put it out!! Bought the yarn and ready to start. ❤
Very soon! Thank you!!!

Wonderful! Hope you were not at all affected by the fires in Hawaii this summer. Thank you for watching!
I really enjoy your podcast and stories of Bermuda life. You are so encouraging to do our own thing and explore. TFS
I'm so glad! I think it's so important to knit for your own body and I look forward to discussing that more. Thank you!

Congrats on starting a UA-cam podcast! I was happy to see you on Instagram and hopped right over. Loved hearing about Bermuda and yes, parenting is hardest job we get to have and transitions….whew. Enjoyed my time hanging out with you here.
Yay! Thank you!
Your first podcast was so easy and fun ! Loved hearing about Bermuda where many East Coast friends spent spring vacation….please keep the conversation going..
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Obsessed with you and your immense talent! ❤️🔥😘
Thank you Gina! Coming from you that really means a lot ❤️❤️❤️
Loved your episode. Related to GI issues and completely agree with your sentiment that everyone hears things differently when finding videos but love all the videos for a visual learning experience, just everything was so well said. Thanks for the time! - K
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I'm so excited about your podcast!! I live in Nova Scotia,along the coast, and we are preparing for Lee. I'm hoping to learn a lot about Bermuda and, of course sweater knitting!!
Wonderful! I love NS! I went to Mt A in NB for university and have spent a lot of time in NS. Take care with Lee. She's a brute!
Thanks Beth for sharing your design ideas with us. As a fellow 🇨🇦 , I’m already wearing cooler weather sweaters. Your design process was very interesting to hear as well as focusing on specific body features. I’m definitely going to shop your Designer pattern page. 😍🧶
Wonderful! Thank you!
Excellent job! Your first podcast is a smash hit, as far as I’m concerned. Appreciated hearing about your deign esthetic. Looking forward to your next installment.
Thanks so much!
G’day Beth, it was lovely to meet you on this your first episode. Looking forward to your next one. 🇦🇺
Thank you!
Just found you and I absolutely loved watching you! I loved hearing about Bermuda and your designs. I can't wait to see what comes next! My17 year old son just got his drivers license and I completely understand the anxiety of letting your teenager drive by themselves.
Thank you! Definitely not easy letting our kids drive eh?!?! So important for their growth but holy crow is it scary!!! :)
Hello Beth. I'm so glad the UA-cam gods sent you to me! I took a break to check out your designs on Ravelry and promptly added you to favorites. I absolutely love your designs. You design the way I want garments to fit, so rare. I'll be here whenever you are back. Thanks for starting the channel. 💖💕
Thank you!!!
Great episode. Love the insight into your designs.
Thank you!
Beautiful patterns Beth and I loved your show. Hope your son made it home safely.
Thank you!
Hi Beth, I am so glad to find you. I like your design a lot and hope more episodes to come.
Linda from Seattle
Thank you so much!
Great podcast! Love hearing about Bermuda! You have a beautiful design sense.
Thank you so much!
Very interesting podcast and lovely designs. Congratulations! I'm looking forward to many more! Cheers from Argentina
Thank you so much!
Beautiful sweaters! As I watch, I want to make them all.
Thank you!
So happy you started a podcast - it is lovely! And really cool to hear about the hows and whys of your designs. I snagged that boxy blue raglan - casting on in a Hinterland yarm that I have had in my stash today. I think it will be perfect! I live in the Pacific NW - way up in the very tippy top corner of WA state. And, as you said, that sweater will be great with dresses, leggings, etc. Thank you for taking the time to chat - looking forward to future episodes. :)
Yay, thank you!
I realy was informed and love the designes you made and makes in the future. Greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you very much!
Love love LOVE your Deep Dean. I'd test knit in a minute!
Oh thank you! If you're keen to test knit, do please send me an email at beth@bmid.bm
Wonderful Beth - so happy to spend some time with you! Thank you.😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great podcast! The fit that you described and focus on is exactly what I try to achieve when knitting sweaters for myself, so I can't wait to peruse your patterns and cast one on. I love the one hanging beside you...might start there : )
Wonderful! Thank you!
Hello Beth, your channel popped up in my feed, then i saw the flag in the background! Great jumpers, i prefer mine longer. My fav was the coloured yoke and floats, great colourwork! I've only done test knitting on beanies and socks, nothing bigger! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! We all do have our preferred lengths dont we. So good to know and to work with
Glad you have started a podcast.The Calabash is so much fun!
Thank you!
So thrilled to a podcast from Bermuda. I lived in Bermuda as a small child from 1959 to 1961 when my dad was stationed at the Naval air station that used to be there. I have such wonderful memories of my time there. Back to watching your podcast now.
How wonderful! Bermuda is a special place for sure. Thank you!
@@bethmacdonaldstone it’s the only place we ever lived that I want to go back to-maybe someday.
How wonderful to have stumbled across your first podcast! I live on the coast of Georgia in the USA and we have similar weather here... We go from the Devil's front porch in the summer to wonderful, light sweater but wet weather from November through February so it is fantastic to discover a creator who understands knitwear for tropical environments. Thank you for starting these podcasts. I will certainly be checking out your patterns and already look forward to making some of your designs.
Wonderful! Thank you!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Found this video today, went right away to IG to begin following you. Looking forward to seeing more videos. I love knitting even though it’s been 100F in Houston this summer. Can’t wait for more from you🧶
Awesome! Thank you!
Wonderful first episode... I think I ended up here because of the Knitting Posse. Love hearing the design perspective and learning more about Bermuda!
Thank you so much!
Hello from a 🇨🇦🧶 from the Chicagoland area!!! I am thrilled that the YT algorithm introduced me to you. I purchased the Boxy Blue pattern while watching (will be stash diving for yarn) and love the Soncy too.
Thank you!
Great new podcast. Loving your designs. Hope the hurricane passes you by.
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed your podcast loved the Sauncy sweater as well.
Yay, thank you!
Beth enjoyed your first design show. Loved your sweaters will be following you for sure. I too lived on Toronto all my life and now reside in Edmonton. Find memories of B.. loved it. Congrats on your new show!!!!! Checking out your sweaters on R. Have a wonderful day. 🧶🇨🇦👍
Thank you so much!
I thoroughly enjoyed this Beth and look forward to more! I really appreciate your design esthetic, I have a tricky GI as well, so prefer a boxy loose body with the split seams ... also find the longer ribbed cuff elegant, and an interesting shoulder and neckline. Happy to hear more about life in Bermuda. All the best from another island, Vancouver Island.
Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed your company Beth, and the insight behind your design ideas. I've been sitting on a gorgeous Zakami yarn advent for two years now, but think I'm going to give the colour play a go, I love the shoulder detail. Thanks x
Wonderful!
Amazing knitting projects 🧶🩵
Thank you!
Hi Beth that was fun looking forward to seeing you again 🧶🧶
Thank you!
It was a Lovely Surprise to see you recommended on UA-cam. Really Enjoyed your video, listening to your tips with your knitwear was Helpful as I also live in a Warmer Climate in Australia 🇦🇺. Thank You for sharing your New Designs.Looking forward to seeing you Again.
Oh thank you!
I am intrigued with your patterns. I haven’t done color work yet, but I am thinking about doing your color work sweater. We honeymooned on Bermuda 20+ years ago. What a beautiful place to live!
Oh wonderful! Yes Bermuda is beautiful. I really love it. Thank you for your note
nice podcast, Beth. Looking forward to the next one
Glad you enjoyed it!
so fun to find your podcast from the comments of Skeindeer Knits!!! Bermuda is such a fascinating place. I look forward to learning about it from you!
Oh thank you! Isnt Skeindeer/Eli so talented?!?!? What a wonderful route to find this one!!!
Beth, great 1st podcast. Thanks for sharing your thoughts behind your knits. I bought the Blue Boxy and look forward to knitting it this season. I've never been to Bermuda so I'm interested in hearing about your life there. My grandparents are from the Azores so you had me at the intro! Enjoy Rhinebeck. Looking forward to your next YT upload. Best of luck to your son! Sixteen is a hard but exciting age.
Wonderful! There are so many people here from the Azores! Somewhere I'd really like to go and visit. Heard so much about it and it sounds like heaven - those hydrangea hedge rows seem too good to be true! Because there are so many Azoreans in Bermuda, there are direct flights a few times a year and would be great to take advantage of that. I think its a 4 hour or less flight. Hopefully one day! Thanks for watching. Hoping to record and publish another episode next week.
Hi Beth, your channel came up on my list as a suggestion and I am happy it did ! I really enjoyed listening and your design styles are the type I love, I struggle with mid section bloat and am always on the hunt for your style of jumper. Looking forward to the next episode, Bridget R
Oh thank you!
Lovely podcast Beth. Enjoyed hearing about the design process. Will be looking for you at Rhinebeck and shopping yarn to make one of your designs.
Please do! Thank you!
Thanks for new podcast to watch! Love your designs - realized I have your Trunk Island Tank in my Favs. I am a fairly new to sweater knitting and I love to learn how to customize for fit, so appreciate tips & training whenever you can. ❤
I live in Florida, but I too love sweaters, shawls, cowls etc. Geez it has been a ridiculously hot humid summer. Yuck!
Bermuda is on bucket list. Love hearing about it. Good luck on podcast & glad to add you to my World Knitting Friends list.
Joni D 😊
Awesome! Thank you! Yes a really hot and humid summer here too and it doesnt feel like its going to let up any time soon. I have my fingers crossed... Cant wait to wear layers and my lovely hand knit sweaters!!!
Hoping to publish another next week.
Thanks again!
Hi, a pleasure to discover your video, I do live on a tiny tropical myself , Reunion island, a french island in the Indian Ocean and we also have chilly winters , so I do perfectly understand what you say. I love your patterns, happy to subscribe!
Wonderful! I have a friend here in Bermuda from Reunion! Small world... Thank you!
Learned about you from the Needles at the Ready. Enjoyed learning about why you design the way you do. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Very interesting Podcast. Good luck and hope to see more.
More to come! Thank you!
Loved your podcast - thank you Beth. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful designs & hearing about life in Bermuda. We’ve recently moved back to England having lived on a small Scottish island for five years where weather and roads were also very challenging at times! Knitting always saved the day though and helped focus the mind until the storms passed 🧶😊
Oh that must have been fabulous - the small Scottish Island. My MacDonald side of the family originates from Iona. I've never been but got as close as Oban.
@@bethmacdonaldstone Iona is one of my favourite places - a very special place! We were on Mull & visited Iona several times. I hope you get the chance to go sometime 😊
I just added Breakfast at Tiffany's to my favorites! I came here from Knits n Pieces, glad to have found you. I love ladderback jacquard, but I, too, thought it would be difficult. Absolutely no trouble with the technique.
Once you get the hang of Ladderback Jacquard and can make sense of what you're doing, it really isn't difficult. Its just getting to that point - it took me a few tries though to get there :) Thank you! I'm a huge fan of Kelly & Noelle :)
Enjoyed your podcast ❤ and hello from Nova Scotia we are waiting for storm Lee as well
Welcome!! Take care! I'd imagine the wind is getting a bit wild for you right about now. Stay safe and cozy inside!
