    I love this interview so much - and what a great reminder for us to slow down, notice the peonies on the table, and savor that early morning coffee knit. I was feeling so Zen after watching it - maybe it was the gorgeous bird symphony that accompanied it so beautifully! Thanks Kristy and Melanie!

    I totally agree with everything you said, but it was hared to watch. I really want to embrace this life style wholeheartedly, but I don't have the privilege to do so. My husband had to quit work do to a disability and I am the soles support of my family. I fight everyday to find peace with were I am and what I can do. Thank you for inspiring me once again to reevaluate my life and see were I need take that leap of faith.

    Thank you for this deeper dive into the experience of our making. You both honored each of us with this interview.
    I'm was sitting on my screened-in-porch, with a lovely summer breeze, knitting, while watching this podcast. Such a pleasure of my day, and a gift a I give to myself, in between other tasks. One of those tasks was sweeping the porch and I did it more mindfully. This is fully what I desire to embrace - tending to my life, my home, my relationships, my spirituality, and ever so importantly, my arts and crafts.

    Wonderful conversation. I so appreciated everything you said about grandmas. I have been a grandmother for three years. It is such an amazing experience. I am often frustrated with comments about how wearing a shawl makes me look like a grandma I have heard on other podcasts. I have to smile and say, “Just you wait”. Thank you for your insights and genuine spirits while sharing your passions.

    Loved this interview. Life is short - how we spend our time matters Working with our hands forces us to slow down and helps ground us. We can find joy in every task, turning time into meaningful moments and creating beautiful lives. This book sounds wonderful❤️❤️❤️

    This was the most meaningful interview ever!! I love it so much I just had to share it with family!!! I took so much value of life from this wonderful interview!! I just want to live 9 lives as a cat to knit, crochet, sew, write, and love everyone around me to the max!!!! In the meantime, I will focus on the one I'm living right now and max this one out first!!! Thank you for the most inspiring video ever!!!! Her porch was just Heavenly!! Love hearing the birds and watching the wind blow the tree leaves!!!

    One of the best inspiring and thought-provoking interviews around life and making that I’ve watched lately! I immediately went to my library and downloaded the Ebook. May end up gifting a copy to my sister, who is herself an excellent example of someone who “makes her own life”, and inspires me as well.

    This was a really interesting interview. Waking up early has its benefits. I sat quietly digesting all of Melanie’s views. Thanks for bringing us this special guest Kristy. It is important for us to get away from the little old lady knitting in a rocking chair stereotype. Treasuring my family F/o’s thru the generations and appreciating what we can do with our hands besides pressing buttons on electronics! 🤗 PS. Dissanayake... pronunciation DIS-Ah-Nah-yer-ker.

    This is a 3 course interview, will have to rewatch later.Thank you Melanie, can't wait til my library gets it. I so agree about surrounding yourself with your own art, have done that all my life and only feel grounded when I can look at my photos,sleep on my pillows, face the next challenge in my sweater. While I like natural fibers I gotta say was wonderful to have those acrylic things last 40 yrs while I was pinched as single working homeschooling mom , they still looked good and did the job. Never had a real relationship with grandmas and certainly don't want to be a grandmother, at 63 still feel like I am 28 just with a nasty neuromuscular disease in poverty and considering stuff no one wants to think about. You made me feel better.

    Loved this interview - thank you Kristy! I feel lucky that I got so sick I couldn't work anymore because I was the sole breadwinner at the time - my husband the house husband - and I was just spinning all the plates all the time. The lack of earnings was so stressful initially, but I am now enjoying living this slower life and my husband has turned into a great breadwinner, really enjoying his job. It has taken years to get here, but I am forever grateful not to be always running.
    Love and happy knitting! XXX

    Kristy!!! I love love love your interviews... and I just have to be that annoying plant lady and tell you that Aloysia citrodora, lemon verbena, is a species of flowering plant and not an actual lemon! It's super delicious in herbal teas-- tastes like lemons!

    Nice interview, but I could not help thinking how much better it would have been if you had read the book first. Or even a few interviews.
