Have to jump right in over here 👉 you GO Gina!! Keep brining it!! I have been dropping comments in public when appropriate, left, right, red or blue we are sick to death of being divided against each other. Everyone nods and agrees - go figure? We are all Americans! Remember when it didn’t matter what side you were on? Great podcast 🎉
Gina! You are the best. Thank you for being you and open minded. How refreshing! I miss being able to have conversations that allow me to hear other view points without anyone getting upset. I’m so happy you are recovering from the health nightmare. You look fabulous. As for knitting, no Christmas knits. Trying to enjoy the beauty and meaning of the season without stress. ( So instead I will be baking 8 dozen cookies for an exchange this weekend because no stress there lol.) Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻💕
I think it looks great! Before you split for the sleeves I would soak it in warm water, pad it between towels and add an extra long needle and pin out the yoke in the round.
I am a federal worker and so he is my boss... just really hoping governing is different than campaigning. He moved my husband's agency out of the DC area (to kansas city) in his first term, but luckily my husband found another job and we did not have to uproot and move. Hoping this does not happen again. I believe in our democracy and so hoping we have some checks and balances to keep things stable.
I loved seeing your projects. I appreciate your input on the news of the day… balance is key. I’m older than you, and I think you are doing great. Thanks!!! Merry Christmas!!!
I wish I was actually having breakfast in Paris too!! Thanks for the book recommendations- I haven’t read the Space Trilogy yet- gonna go put it on my wishlist. Hope your Christmas is full of beautiful blessings!!
You may be the most sensible and bravest of all my podcast friends. What a concept... forming an opinion on more than sound bites! I'm sure you saw the Rogan/Trump interview. I am not afraid for the next 4 years. Hey, have you tried progressive rx lenses yet? It's liberating to stop fighting with your glasses and just give in to clear vision all the time. (Yes, I'm an optician!) 😊
I love your sweater. So sweet. Exactly what I’d want in a Xmas sweater. Ya, you can’t see, hear and your teeth fall out and Medicare doesn’t cover any of it!
I love your yarn in the Sophie Shawl! Wow, that's a beautiful colorway. Also, the Christmas sweater looks fine on camera, but I know you will be happier with one in your yarn. You should do a WIP parade again -- you may need to send me one or two of your WIPs to finish. 😄 Hope to see you on here again before Christmas. I am working on some gift knits -- just finished a three-skein, fingering weight shawl (Maurice Shawl), couple of Hipster Hats, couple of Everything November Mitts, and trying to decide what sweater to cast on for myself.
Good to see you!! I am also into my delusional project era….not the four unfinished children’s sweaters staring at me to be finished by Christmas 🤣 Enjoyed watching!
Hi Gina, always happy to see you and for your podcast. I can’t believe that your mohair/silk minis are already sold out ! Please let me know if you make another batch or do a preorder. They are gorgeous!
Such a sweet kitten and so many lovely gift knits! Your friends and family don’t know how lucky they are to get all those hand knit gifts! Will you please share photos of the finished gifts in your next podcast - if possible. Your earth stripe wrap (and kits) - so beautiful! I have been listening to the audiobook of Apprentice in Wonderland and highly recommend it. Thanks as always for the podcast - always enjoy them!
Gina, your hair is fantastic! I think we are the same age , or almost, and I loose so much, it is so thin and fragile….. I’d wish I have great hair like yours .
Always enjoy your videos. Was looking forward to your telling us what yarn you dyed up to make that lovely shawl/wrap. Please do let us know - we may need to get some!!! Happy holidays to you and your family.
I don’t think you need Insta for a business model you can run SC right out of this old UTube. Man, I wish there was more to purchase, love your yarn so much. I feel like I am missing out 😢
Great to see you Gina! I miss your presence on Instagram. But happy to see you here. It looks like you’re healthy and happy. I am not knitting any Christmas gifts… Maybe a pair of fingerless mitts for my husband because his office gets cold. I love you Yarn so much! Please keep creating! 🙏🏼🧶
I agree with you 💯 about the presidential outcome. By the time voting happened I was not thrilled w/Kamala AND we were robbed the opportunity to vote in a primary. I think it’s going to be a wild ride. We need change but not sure Trump and Musk are going to push the needle in the right place. When Kamala said she loved the economy she lost me. She has no idea what a lot of Americans are dealing with. Trump can be dangerous but Democrats don’t do shit so we’re fucked basically(🎉PS I’m a Bernie Progressive)
You are not blind. ❤It is hard to see far away if you’re using glasses for close-up. I have a hard time seeing close up because my glasses are for far away. But I have been diagnosed with a condition that could cause blindness. It’s beyond me in this day and age that they have so few options for these issues. I surely wish they would come up with something better than what they have which is practically nothing. You are stuck with choosing to do what they want to do and possibly having your vision get worse or doing nothing and hoping that it doesn’t change too much. It’s crazy. That and a three-year foot injury is just too much to deal with. The only thing that’s made me happy this year is the election. My life is crazy.❤
Lovely video, still snuggled in my cosy bed and this was a great start to the day, beautiful yarns and projects , had to stop to go put holds on most of the books so thanks for those. I was waiting for what you’re watching but that’s ok, there are so many new shows it’s hard to choose. The kitten is darling and they are so sweet, funny,snuggly and wild 🥰, we have two of the grandkids’ right now and they are so much fun. I’m not doing Christmas knitting this year, I’m still just plugging away on socks and a cowl. I’m also knitting this big cowl type thing of many colours, I bought this big quart sized mason picking jar that was packed to the brim with variegated minis , needles and a pattern. You can pick at random or choose to suit and cast on in the round, about 60 stitches I think and just keep knitting then Kitchener the ends together. Im on my second one, just great for tv watching or book listening ,they end up surprisingly pretty and you can wear them in many different ways. Hope you have a lovely holiday season🥰🎄🙋🏼♀️
@ Aberdeen Wool Co. Has pickle jar kits with about 800 yards total of variegated hand dyed minis . You can buy “ refills” or just groups of different amounts of the minis. Jar kit runs around $65. Canadian which would be a big bargain for you seeing as how our dollar is crap right now but….Canada post is on strike so best to wait till that’s over. Then again you could make your own or a variation of it, to sell off all those skeins that weren’t that popular and hung around for ages. 🤣😂.
I’m not saying they only use yarn that didn’t sell well, that may have been what started it but they have become so popular they have to cut up skeins they dye in particular for them. I do add in some other yarn in my favourite colours and add a few solids to add to the look. 👍🏼🙋🏼♀️
The last 4 years have not been great and Kamala would have been more of the same. She was a weak candidate and, yes, Trump is a very flawed candidate. However, we've had 4 years of Trump and they weren't so bad. In the end, I voted for our country and I believe Trump will surprise us all and be a great President. Changing subjects, I would kill for your hair and all that scrumptious yarn in the background.
Gina, out of all the podcasts I watch I get most excited when I see you have a new one up on YT. I love your podcasts because you are so honest and forthright about who you are and what you feel and believe. I mean that sincerely. I share your feelings about the election. I didn't want either candidate to become president. It saddens me that in such a great country with over 340 million people we could not come up with two better candidates again this election. Neither of them speaks for me and my concerns. I too am concerned with the what the next four years will look like. As a devout Christian I do not recognize Donald Trump as a Christian. He is not honest, he denigrades women in his treatment of them, he is an adulterer who dumps his current wives as they begin to age in order to marry a younger prettier model. He claims to be a Christian but he does not live by Christian values. If someone reading this is a Trump supporter and you want to make comments about how wrong I am please do not waste your time, I will not read your comments. It feels to me as though the Left has gone too far one way and the Right too far the other, to the point of wanting to force us to do what they believe we should do. Christ gave us our agency to make our own choices in this life and then He allows us to either suffer or benefit from the consequences of those choices. So, thats enough about politics from me. You gave us some great ideas for quick Christmas gifts, much appreciated and I would be more than happy to pay a fee for a membership to watch your content. Hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful holiday season and a Merry Christmas together.
Gina. I love you. I love your honesty, your no bullshit approach to life, your take me as I am attitude. Thank you for talking about President Trump. I am hugely releaved that he won. Thank God that he won. Our country has been brought back from the edge of a cliff.

I don’t mind the politics. I’m trying to understand as well ! It’s hard but I’m going at it again .

I absolutely love everything about your channel. I love your yarn, your knits, your personality… keep those videos coming ❤️

Fingers crossed for some stability in these crazy times! 🩷😘

You are drinking my absolute favorite tea!!!

I always love your podcast ❤. I’m searching as well. Have a nice holiday!
You are an amazing, thoughtful person! Enjoyed your reaction and thoughts on the election!
Happy to see you back in a new podcast. You look great! 🤩
That mohair set is so tempting 😍

I love your channel!!!!!❤ And grateful to feel safe now with the incoming administration. Your conversation was very rational. ❤😊
Happy AdventvGina! Your knitting looks great. I look forward to your podcasts and am glad to see you looking well .
Great podcast. I always enjoy your videos!
I'm with you about Animal Vegetable Miracle, it is also one of my top books. It has made me want to live on a small farm since I read it.
so happy to see you back!!❤💚❤💚❤💚
So glad you are feeling better l! Merry Christmas 🎄. I ordered your minute set for the Earth strip shawl. So beautiful ❤

Hi Gina, always happy to see you and for your podcast. I can’t believe that your mohair/silk minis are already sold out ! Please let me know if you make another batch or do a preorder. They are gorgeous!
I both knit and cross stitch. Love them both but feel pulled to each all the time. Makes it hard.

You look amazing! Such beautiful hair! I didn’t hear any noise at all from construction crews. 😀
Proud republican ❤ I appreciate that you are reading the book.
Oh, I loved this!!! You look great! Always good to see you.💕

I'm a proud yarn snob but you're crazy - that sweater looks great! Love the kitty ;)
Thank you! 😊
DO NOT DRINK THE KOOLAID!! Omg you can’t
She's not drinking the Kool-aid, she's educating herself and being discerning. We all need to be this thoughtful.
Missed the minis, all sold out
