    Thank you for teaching us new methods for knitting and crocheting. I have been doing both for the past 57 years and definitely agree with you, you can learn something new all the time. I have not had the pleasure of knitting with yak yarn that I can recall, but I would love to try it. You always have beautiful colors in your patterns. Thank you for all you do.🧶😊

    Mountains! I've gotta have mountains where I live!
    I may have been knitting for 55+ years, but I'm always happy to learn new techniques. Or relearn the ones I seldom use and have forgotten. 🤭 I'm talkin' 'bout you W&T. Thank you, Chandi!

    Oh Chandi just stop! I cannot keep up with all the fabulous patterns in your scrumptious yarns and colorways! I've never worked with yak fibre before, but by golly I'll have to try it! As always, beautiful designs, beautiful yarns and so lovingly presented. You surely shine, sweet soul!

    I have never worked with yak yarn but would love to give it a try. I'm 72 and the first thing that came to mind was a VERY old song "Yakety Yak". I'm one of those people that has to have all the chores done before I sit down to knit and the song is virtually a list of chores. The yarns are so beautiful (I never splurge on yarn) so what a blessing this would be. You are so precious, I never miss a video. That cast on and bind off is going into my favorites list!! God bless and take care, see you next time 😘❤

    Whew!!!! Puurrrteee!!!! I agree with the beauty of mountains. The first time I ever saw the Rockies, I wanted to cry from the wonder and humility I felt...with knitting in my hands!.🥰. I have worked with Yak yarn and it is strong and dreamy! Yak is where it's at!!!

    Yes, I made a wrap with your Vellum Fingering yarn. It’s buttery soft. I love to just hang on to it next to me to feel it even when it’s too warm to have on. Have a wonderful weekend Chandi. Thanks for the pattern and tutorial. 🧶

It didn't take long for him to recognize my voice and come running to the point in the fence where I could reach over to rub his nose. It is truly amazing to make a connection with another species.
