Your podcast immediately became a favorite of mine!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! 🥰
I’m enjoying your podcast. I’ve knitted for 35 years and live in US. I would love to shop in your store. 😍 We no longer have a knitting store where I live.
Viewing from England, I love your channel and the way you explain everything, excellent.
THank you so much! 😊
Oh I had to stop you mid podcast, and get my husband to drive me to Loopine to buy sock yarn!
@@carlamelton665 hi Carla! Oh my gosh that’s amazing 🤣🥰
Good morning from Florida! I love your Felix. My Felix is probably my favorite cardigan right now. I made mine cropped in a dark red and wear it with dresses. Everywhere you go in Florida has air conditioning blasting and cardigans like this are just the ticket,
Hello Florida! I totally agree- have been wearing mine every day since I finished it 😆
Greetings from Texas! Your Felix Cardigan is gorgeous! Loved all your Opal Yarn…never used it but have heard of it. Really appreciate all your insights on the different yarns. Your spinning is exquisite. Have a great week. ❤
THank you so much for watching and for the encouragement! 😊
Dear Alanna, so glad I found you! We have a similar taste of Knitting garments and colours, and many of the designs you have knitted I knitted too or want to. Best wishes from Northern Germany!
Hello to you and Germany! Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Alanna, really enjoying your podcast! I'm missing all the beautiful NZ yarn and the friday knit nights :) But it is nice to join you again online. x Yvonne
Hi Yvonne! We miss you at Knit Night too! Hope you're doing well out there 🤗
Love the colors in your spinning at the end!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Your hand spun skein looks amazing. Long time knitter, never spun, but looking at those fibres and what they become makes me want to learn.
Thank you! I definitely recommend it- and knitting your own handspun is a pretty special feeling 😊
Love the spinning you've done! Beautiful.
THank you! 🙏
Really must get into sock knitting - love the podcast
Definitely recommend it, and thank you! ☺
I really enjoy watching you on UA-cam, I live in Pennsylvania USA. You have a wonderful voice very enjoyable to listen to and you do an amazing job describing your projects. I'm so glad you decided to do these videos. I especially liked the "frosty Ice" socks and the golden sweater you are working on it is a beautiful color and should look nice on you. Thank you for spending time with us and sharing your love of knitting.
Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely encouragement! 😊🙏
Hello from across the ditch! Sydney!😏I'm enjoying your podcast so much and will try that Italian bind off as it looks so neat. Love your colourful yarn display of the shop background as you're talking. I like how you are picking a different vantage point each time. It makes such a difference to have a nice background. I'm going back to rewatch episode 1 and write down some of the patterns this time.
Hello to you over in Sydney! 👋 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it 😊
Only 2 episodes of the podcast and I'm hooked! Love knitting with you chatting in the background! Can't wait for the next one!
Aww thank you so much! ☺
Loved this episode! Makes me want to jump on a plane and come visit. I mostly crochet and have never knitted socks. Maybe you will teach us newbies how to knit your vanilla sock pattern when it is done? I will have to wait till I retire to learn to spin but it can’t come soon enough. Thank you! Fantastic content.😊
Thank you so much! When my vanilla sock pattern is ready, I am planning to release some tutorial videos as well. I appreciate the suuport! ☺
Hello from Swansea, Illinois. ❤❤❤❤
Hi Illinois! I'm originally from Wisconsin, so kind of neighbors 😊
The handspun is stunning! Can’t wait to see what you decide to make with it. Looking forward to future episodes!
Thank you so much! 😊
Love your spun yarn! Looks so different from the batts! I like the combination of colors. Thanks so much for your update. I have been knitting socks all summer. Cotton/wool for summer, and I am back to a fair-isle wool sock now that it is getting cooler here in US. Your socktober events sound like a lot of fun!
Thank you so much! I kind of envy all of you in the US- since I got into knitting I love the cold weather for the sake of the warm woollies! 😊
I am really enjoying your podcasts. I love all of your knit pieces-- they are so lovely!
Edit: OMG your hand-spun is gorgeous!
Thank you so much! 😆
Hope you get your vanilla sock pattern out soon , I’m ready for socks that I can make to fit my foot, great podcast
Thank you! Definitely working on it 😊
Loving your podcasts. Fellow kiwi here. Your knitting is beautiful ❤❤
Oh hi! THank you so much 😊
Any idea when your vanilla sock pattern will come out? Love to try it using my new skein of Opal 8-ply yarn. It will be my first pair of socks.
I definitely want to test it thouroughly before release, but I am working away on it so hopefully before the end of the year!
Wow I have also made the Felix in that yarn base (different dyer) and am missing a button on the bottom! However I found over time it has stretched out. I am thinking about adding a line of crochet around the neckline. The buttons have also pulled at the button band where they are attached, making little peaks. Do you have any advice for fixing this? Next time I'll make the button band at a denser gauge.
If anyone is liking the Felix but want it in a V-neck you can find this by Along-Avec-Anna. It's called the Rosa Cardigan and is DK. I've made this one too 😂
Wow what a coincidence! I think the streching out is all probably a resulk of the looser gauge as you're suggesting, so not too much to do to prevent that. However, adding a crochet edge is a great idea or even sewing in some elastic could help- that's probably what I'll do if mine streches out...
Thank you for your podcasts enjoying them immensely. Are you born and raised in Switzerland? I hear no evidence of an accent, I am in central USA.
Thank you so much! I am born and raised in the US, but I've been in New Zealand for over 8 years now... I am from Wisconsin originally and moved around the States a bit 😊
@@blackcatknitco thank you for your response! Once a neighbor. I'm s.w. suburb of Chicago. Congratulations on your venture and embracing what life can bring to you.
I love your socks do you have a pattern we can buy?
Thank you so much! Sadly not yet, but I am working on it! 😊
