Hello Penne! The little boys in your family are so adorable and look just like their granddaddy Pete.. Another great video and I so look forward to each and every one. Thank you so much.🇺🇸
Hi Pene, I love your chinwags. I don’t have the same recall (memories) as you, only snippets. Born in 1956 so almost the same era. Your knitting is superb. Great Grandson is gorgeous, and yes he does look like Pete who is also gorgeous. Love your walks, the wildness and beauty of the sea. Appreciate your sharing all these precious moment’s. Til next time 🥰🤗
Thanks Juliet, I love love love that word Joy and it's true a small knit does bring that to us all. I was thrilled to see so much colour still in the garden. Let's hope it hands on! xx
Well Penny you were just what I needed I had gone back to bed not feeling too good we re at the caravan at Eyemouth easier for hubby’s mobility problem for a week or so but my colitis flared up so I settled back in bed to watch chinwag just lovely thank you xx
Hi Glenda, so happy to meet up with you in bed. I too have gone back to bed today, everything just caught up and a day in bed does me the world of good. So sorry about both your health issues. Eyemouth looks a lovely place to be. Rest up and hopefully we'll both be feeling tip top by the next time we meet. xx
Yes, George is gorgeous 😂 Pete for me is too! I was really pleased with the jumper and will soon have to start another one for them all! Take care and thanks for joining me. xx
Hi Penelope lovely as always to see you George's aran jumper looks so nice on him that will keep him warm an cozy the cardi you are wearing looks lovely also an cozy looking yes that sleeveless top you are going to knit is very much in fashion an I can imagine it will look good in your stash wool will look forward to seeing it when you have finished it Your garden an the beautiful flowers an view overlooking the sea stunning!Will be looking forward to your next chat. You an Pete keep well an warm ❤x
Pene your great grandchildren are so adorable in the jumper and cardigans you made for them! So cute to see little George enjoying the quilt! we are exactly the same age, I was also born in August of 49. Amazing how many beautiful flowers are still in your garden in October!
Lovely to see you as always, Pene. The v neck tank is a very classic looking piece, cheerful colour's too. I love the feel of baby alpaca. George looked adorable in his new sweater. It was a perfect colour to enhance the cable texture pattern. It makes your day when you can spend some time with them. I'm looking forward to half term next week and some family time. Beautiful nature footage at the end. Have a lovely week, take care. See you next time. X
Hi Angela, I never thought at my age I would still be looking forward to half term. Mila's first! Have a lovely week, hopefully still in the sunshine. xx
I really need to start using my stash as well, and stop being tempted by new yarn 😂. I think that when we are creative people we are drawn to colours, textures and patterns, and planning what we might do with this latest purchase can be as enjoyable as the making of the item. The jumpers for your great grandchildren have all turned out beautifully, and what lovely children.
Hi Susan, I agree about the temptation! I has been a challenge choosing the pattern and adding to the yarn I already have but I am enjoying it and feel so good when I've done it! It's so lovely that the children absolutely love their jumpers and appreciate them.
Great to see you again Pene. Loved all your knitting, and your quilt was a wonderful hit. Your new cast on will be glorious I'm sure. I had some Debbie Bliss Lace yarn in my stash, an off white, creamy colour and didn't know what to knit. Then you came along with the silver river shawl by Helen Stewart and I was away. I knitted it double, making it 4ply really, and added a light brown for the contrast. It came out beautiful, all thanks to you Pene, and I want to knit another with green contrast. They are addictive! Loved the flowers and the beach, the time of year when things begin to change. Take care, thanks for your company, see you next time.
The Helen Stewart shawls are fabulous aren't they. They will be using up what is left over from these sweater amounts. So pleased you enjoyed knitting them. Like you say addictive. Rained all day here but I can see the roses are still ok! xx
It amazes me that you finished the jumper since your last video, and it is so beautiful. Our paths so often are similar though we have always lived on opposite sides of the pond. We, too, have had a beautiful fall here in Michigan, but are being told that after the warm and sunny weekend approaching, the bottom will drop out on the thermometer, come Tuesday. 1959 meant a break for warm milk at my school too, but I was never offered an alternative, so often just pocketed the 15 cents for the week's milk and had none. I remember all of my elementary school teachers and my favorites were the 2 who made us feel good about ourselves. Wonderful photography, once again. Thanks so much. 💕
Enjoy the weather right up to the moment it changes! We had free school milk and orange juice, so no money made for me! How our teachers influenced the rest of our lives. See you soon, take care. xx
Another lovely episode! Thank you for the cheerful time with you and your family and your lovely country. You really do whip out the knits! I never learned to knit well and only recently unraveled the one thing I ever completed. I took a 6-week course at a local shop ( back home) and made a vest from a Cascade yarn. At the time you could purchase a length of wool in a suitable weight for a skirt of trousers and I got it - and carried it around in my cedar chest for years and years until I sold it on eBay maybe 10 years ago. I digress. My mother was an expert knitter. I still have dress and a Lopi cardigan she made but I never wore because they were too small. She did not believe in making them in my size because she thought I should become smaller. Now I don't know what to do with them. The photo of you and Phillip is charming and you look so happy. I know how you felt as a child not wanting to venture an answer to a question or perform in front of people. I think most children are shy and I think it is an inborn natural response - after all, it is a survival instinct not to march out in front and be a target - even of ridicule if not a weapon. It is a relief to learn that we are able to hold our own and a course in public speaking is so useful for a student. We had our first freezes a few days ago so most of the flowers are gone except the ones which are faithfully covered by their growers when the evening temps come down. Your garden is so gorgeous as is your seaside. As always your family films are a joy. All the best to you and yours!
Hi Pen lovely to see you again, I always enjoy watching your vlogs, you make beautiful things, I’m just making scarfs at the moment for the hospital and crocheting baby hats to, you have a really lovely family to x
Hi Pene! I have watched your videos for a long time but finally figured out that I needed a youtube channel to leave comments. 😂 I love your channel and never miss a chinwag. I was born in 1955 so i relate to all your wonderful stories. I miss seeing your Mom and understand your loss....I lost my Mom a few years back too and miss her so much. I love the Debbie bliss blue yarn and i agree it will be lovely with the other blue...can't wait to see the finished sweater. Your grandchildren look darling in their sweaters. I think i will try to knit something for my 2 grandchildren. The sweater you are wearing looks so cozy. I'm knitting a shaw at the moment along with other WIPs. 😂 Love your story and your films too. You and Pete take care...looking forward to next chinwag!!... Hugs..Lonna😊
Hi Lonna, how wonderful to hear from you after all this time! So pleased you have left a comment. We certainly do miss our mums, never gets easier does it. Thanks for sharing Chinwag with me, till next time. xx
Always enjoy your story and visits with your family. George is very cute. Funnily enough I decided yesterday that in 2025 I am going to shop from stash with just a tiny craft budget just in case I need a specific zip, thread, etc. I tried to do something similar this year but only managed to April! I will explain all in my next video. X
Balance, isn't it Anita. Hard a fast rules never work. Wanting to use my stash is not a limit I'm putting on myself but a real desire to use it. It is an effort, far easier to 'just buy new'. You had such a good clear out this year and now I've seen your new purchases you're set up 😍
Ive had the same problem with trying to match wool to a pattern, instead of the other way...more thought is needed lol. Love the jumpers you make, always look so good.😊
Lovely to see you Pene, gorgeous jumper, made in two weeks!! - I am in awe - cables just turn me into a gibbering wreck😊. Ugh, warm milk, when I was young my mum used to make me a 'special' drink when I was ill, until I caught her making it! - raw egg whisked in milk with a little sugar😮, no wonder I hated that as well. Take care and see you again soon, Jane x
G’day Penne, so pleased I saw your latest episode tonight was bit concerned, I thought “Oh haven’t seen episode of Penne & Chin Wag for while” 😳 Thinking “hoping everything’s ok with her & Pete!” and I looked at episode date “For goodness sake, I’ve missed it popping up, relieved I am they’re ok“ I thought. I’ve been so busy with work days, rushing eagerly home end work day to say hello mate, cook tea & get to my knitting few hours then bed and off to work again next day to do it all again. Made decision to start transition to retirement over next 12 mths, I’m 67 yrs now and reckon it’s time to move towards it. I’ll be around 68 1/2 yrs retirement start, well that’s plan 😂 I’ll definitely won’t miss any episodes of Chin Wag then 😂 hoping I’m lucky 🍀 enough that you’ll still enjoy sharing Penne, it’s rather selfish of me and I do understand it’s a BIG task for you but so many as do I love each episode. Take care 😄❣️🇦🇺
Hi Penelope. It was so nice to catch up with you again. It was lovely to see George in his new jumper and how much he likes his sister's quilt. Your story is so interesting. At the age you were in 1958/9 I was experiencing world travel as we made our trips back and forward to Australia. My parents took two trips before deciding to stay in Australia. I was 11 at that stage. I think this has not only made me into the person I am today but left me with social anxiety as I was never settled in my early years. Three different primary schools in England and three in Australia. I look forward to catching up with you in two weeks. xx
Wow, that was a lot for any child to deal with - new friends, new places and then upheaval again. Moving half an hour away seemed big to my young self. See you soon. xx
Evening Debbie, All the beach huts will be gone by the end of October. They would be washed away by the sea otherwise. They will all be back at Easter. We say 'they're here' or 'ah they're going - we know what season it is by the beach huts. 😂
I'm remembering my school days and reading you 'My Story'. What do you remember from your school days?
Hello Penne! The little boys in your family are so adorable and look just like their granddaddy Pete..
Another great video and I so look forward to each and every one. Thank you so much.🇺🇸
See you soon Priscilla, xx

I love sharing them all with you, thanks for watching. My brother was born on January 9th 1956. The days of that year are so strong in my memory. xx
Wonderful video again Penne❤It was lovely to see the joy hand crafts give to you great grandchildren.
It's wonderful to see the garden flowers too.xx
Thanks Juliet, I love love love that word Joy and it's true a small knit does bring that to us all. I was thrilled to see so much colour still in the garden. Let's hope it hands on! xx
George’s sweater is beautiful! I love the videos you insert, what a lovely area you live in.
Thanks so much Tracy. He loved his sweater.

I was pleased with all their knits and loved that George loves his sister's quilt. One due for him now! xx
Lovely to see you as always, Pene.
The v neck tank is a very classic looking piece, cheerful colour's too. I love the feel of baby alpaca.
George looked adorable in his new sweater. It was a perfect colour to enhance the cable texture pattern.
It makes your day when you can spend some time with them. I'm looking forward to half term next week and some family time.
Beautiful nature footage at the end.

Really enjoyed the video! George reminds me of my great grand Luke who is 1 today. The sweater is precious.
How lovely Cheryl, a small knit brings such happiness.
It amazes me that you finished the jumper since your last video, and it is so beautiful. Our paths so often are similar though we have always lived on opposite sides of the pond. We, too, have had a beautiful fall here in Michigan, but are being told that after the warm and sunny weekend approaching, the bottom will drop out on the thermometer, come Tuesday. 1959 meant a break for warm milk at my school too, but I was never offered an alternative, so often just pocketed the 15 cents for the week's milk and had none.

What beautiful great grandies you have!!! And that jersey was so lovelyx
Thanks so much, and yes I do love my great grandies. xx
Your new cast on will look lovely Pene, and so soft too
The little aran jumper is super, a very traditional knit that stays the test of time
Xx
Thanks Anne, It is so soft and George's jumper is that traditional aran jumper that we love.
Lovely knitting you have done
Thanks Susan 😀
Thank you Penny, love your knitting. Your greatgrands are precious, love your walks!
Thanks so much Sheryl. xx
Thank you Penny your story always takes me back to my childhood I was born in 1951 and like you hated warm milk 🥴
Memories shared! xx
Such a nice jumper for George. I thought he looks a lot like your husband. I have great grandchildren too & love knitting for them.
It's a joy isn't it, little clothes to knit again. xx

Lovely video pen and the knitting is lovely, no video as been away again I hope one day this week, till next time happy Crafting lynn ❤
Hope you enjoyed yourself away again! See you soon. xx
Hi Pen lovely to see you again, I always enjoy watching your vlogs, you make beautiful things, I’m just making scarfs at the moment for the hospital and crocheting baby hats to, you have a really lovely family to x
How lovely to make for the hospital, so worthwhile. xx
@@penelopeschinwag awww thank you, sometimes do the odd blanket too
I can remember getting the boys to drink my warm milk 😂
What fun and what a memory Carole. I bet they loved you!

Hi Pene love the wool and the v-neck pattern. The little great grand children are so sweet and your knits for them are beautiful. So good to see you.
Lovely to hear from you Kathy. xx
Lovely to see you and catch up. Your knitting is very inspiring. I knitted some animals after you showed yours. Maybe I will graduate to sweaters 😊
Go for it - I think a jumper is much easier than the animals. xx
Ive had the same problem with trying to match wool to a pattern, instead of the other way...more thought is needed lol. Love the jumpers you make, always look so good.😊
It's such a good feeling when it works out! xx
Lovely to see you Pene, gorgeous jumper, made in two weeks!! - I am in awe - cables just turn me into a gibbering wreck😊.

Take care and see you again soon, Jane x
Oh no, that drink would have to be made into custard and put into a cake! Warm milk has to have a good quality chocolate in it 😂
