Ruth, another terrific podcast! Don’t ever worry about the length it’s always never enough. Love all your bright colours and all the blues you choose, going to look great on you! Thank you so much for the lovely message at the end I am a Christian as well but always love the reminders, and you do it so well. Prayers for your Dad.
Thank you, Ruth, for another great podcast. Glad to say your dad is on the mend. It has taken longer than we expected. Looking forward so much to being with you , Nigel, Eva and Samuel at Christmas if I don't catch dad's bug!! I loved that bright sweater with the fairisle yoke (and everything else!!) I've visited Lamb Hospital, Bangladesh twice and can assure everyone that it's a very worthy cause to support. We're delighted that the church building work has been sucessfully completed. What an appopriate hymn to quote - "On Christ, the solid rock I stand"! It's probably my age but I love the old hymns . They're so inspirational. Such a blessing that you've reached the 50 landmark!
Lovely as usual! Thank you for explaining what Fistula is and how it affects so many. Happy that your church has been repaired and will stand up to the weather and the river. When you find out that so many of the churches and cathedrals in the UK are standing up by willpower alone it is amazing that they survive! Thanks. Jane xx
That is one of my favorite songs! What a perfect ending to a great message. I'm more of a quiet faith but my husband... he never misses a chance to say God Bless You or to share his faith. I imagine you to be the same. Your podcasts bring me so much joy! 🤗
Dearest Ruth, God bless you and yours. I am always touched by your scripture reading and message at the end, I love your words of wisdom, and the wonderful message you leave on our hearts! Oh I also love all your inspirational knits. May the season bring joy to you also.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful hymn - one I sung many times in my youth. It's been going through my head ever since. And I wanted to let you know, one of the reasons I love watching your podcast is to listen to you chat. Never feel you are doing too much of that!
Hi Ruth -- I just wanted to let you know that we recently got a donation to Fistula Foundation inspired by this podcast! Thank you so much for sharing about our cause. I have watched a few of your videos now, you have such great energy and I'm glad I discovered this! Will have to share with all my friends who knit. Thanks for all that you do!
Thanks once again Ruth. Wonderful podcast. One of my big milestones in my Christianity walk came a few months after I committed my life to Jesus. I was too shy and didn’t know enough to speak about my faith but a Monday after our church did a service in a seniors home a customer came into my fruit and veg shop and almost shouted “ I knew there was something different about you”. Her mum was in the home and she sat in the half hour service and recognised me. “ You never join in the gossip and tittle tattle and always have a good word about people”. Wow. What? I realised I didn’t need knowledge or even speak about my faith. My actions did that too. Sorry this is a long post but I thought someone reading your comments may be encouraged. God bless you for stirring memories and your encouragement. 🌻🌻🌻
Hi Ruth, just want to drop a line to say I enjoy watching your podcasts so much! You are such a hoot! You always give me a chuckle. And I love every single one of your shawls❤
Oh Ruth, you are such a good spokesperson for women in need. We never hear about these things in the daily news media. I have always felt blessed being a woman to have been born in the USA and I know it’s the right thing to share the blessings we have been given with those less fortunate. Thank you ❤
Loved this episode! Your Colin socks are going to be gorgeous 😍 and you’re not going to believe it but toast is my favourite food too! 🤣🤣 happy knitting! Rachel xx
Hi Ruth. I absolutely love your donkey bag. I hv a big soft spot for donkeys 🫏. The new fashion yarn is sold in our local charity shop and it is fab. I am not a fan of acrylic yarn. But i have used this one many many times. It’s fab for baby blankets and washes like a rag. I wish i still had built in central heating….i went through all that in my early 40’s and now in my 60s i’m blumming frozen 🥶 looking at you in your short sleeves. 😉🤣
Hi Ruth I JUST finished a crochet poncho i entered in the dust em off .... i have been wanting to have a poncho for about a decade after i made my mom hers and i now have my own! FINALLY YEA!! I am looking forward to wearing it as it is getting chilly outside
You brought tears to my eyes at the end when you were quoting the hymn. It was one of my Grandma Ruth's favorites and I miss her. Her birthday was Dec. 2.
Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada. UA-cam recommended this video today and I enjoyed it start to finish. Thank you for sharing your knitting and your faith.
Thank you for your wonderful podcast Ruth! I related to so much of it. Your Riptide 135 Shawl is gorgeous! I just bought that pattern yesterday because I’d like to try the scarf, it’s so pretty! And I’ve been knitting on my newly cast on Coorie In Shawl and loving it. So many other inspirations too, such as the Twinset and Purl sock patterns! I own several and have yet to knit them. And the frosting on the cake, you referenced my baptism song in your little devotional. At our church when someone chooses to be baptized they are encouraged to pick a hymn they love and the congregation sings it just before the baptism. I was 30 and I chose The Solid Rock. That was 40 years ago and I still love that hymn! Hope your Christmas season is very blessed and I’m praying your father is well soon and able to join you in Devon.
Thank you Ruth for another lovely podcast and keeping me company while I sew the binding on my great granddaughter's quilt. God bless you and your family.☺
Ruth thank you for another lovely podcast . I will be buying the daft days cardi pattern and I think it’s a great cause and another beautiful pattern from Creabea .
Thank you for a great word at the end Ruth. I think you where spot on, I have gotten this same word the past few days (Matt 7) and also the rest of what you said. You are a lovely teacher of the Word! And also 😃 thank you for all the lovely yarnie goodness before that! Will pray for a quick and full recovery for your dad.
Thanks for another cheery podcast, Ruth. Hope your Dad is better soon. I love your donkey bag and the blue shawl. Looking forward to another podcast in the near future. x
Sending healing and holiday greetings to you and yours. ❤You may want to try this as I don't get along with mohair at all, try substituting alpaca. I love it.
Love all your knits today! Understand the power surges I don’t go 0 to 1,000 degrees in 2 seconds anymore it’s like 0 to 500 degrees now and I lived through menopause 20 years or so ago! But who’s counting🤣😂🤣! So enjoyed my time with you this morning! Knitted on my “ I’m Too Socksy Socks by Jane Burns and Kelly Menzies. Finished one pair for my daughter in Christmas striping sparkly yarn now I’m doing a pair for myself. Mine I’m knitting in red and white with green cuff, heel and toes! Going to buy some Twinset and Purl patterns in December. I just watched their podcast last night. Thank you for a pleasant morning of knitting!
A lovely episode, as always ❤️. I'm looking forward to making the poncho also. I wish I could buy some red mohair to go with the red Holst that I have on hand, but buying yarn is not in the cards for a while. I do have some pretty blue yarn I could use....I don't often wear blue, and I'm not sure why not!
Loving all your makes as ususal…your colourwork jumper is beautiful, it really suits your colour….I’ve knit colour work when my youngest (twins now 43), were babies, but not since…think I’m a little scared of it, but I’m going to try a hot water bottle cover to dip my toe in, so to speak….looking forward to seeing your family again….your Dad is just lovely…my mum was from Co Leitrim…..take care x x x 🥰
I had to look up fistula, I had no idea what a it is. How very sad. I will buying both of the patterns. I always try to let the ads from your podcast play out . Ever little bit to help. I enjoy your podcast. I am never annoyed by the life noises around you.
Hello Ruth, Thankyou for another upbeat, cheerful podcast, and I always look forward to your message at the end. I listened to your Dad on sermon audio and I did enjoy it and will be listening to more, I also look forward to more family interviews. I will put him in my prayers, even though Im a little late in catching up. Im running late in my poddies, summer in Aussie has me distracted but Im slowly getting through my watch later list. One thing that has me distracted me lately is instagram. Like you with your youtube channel I wanted to share some of the precious gems Jesus has handed me over the years but didnt know how because I live a very isolated life. I have been praying about it frequently and perhaps my prayer has been answered, only time will tell. Today I just posted, what I hope will be the first of many posts on quotes I have picked up from Christian literature. They are a little collection of quotes I have written down in notebooks as they have moved me over the years, I usually had to find them very convicting to write them down or served a purpose in giving me edification at the time I wrote them. Im hoping they will have that same affect on others and that they recieve what they need, nothing more nothing less, so much depends on God moving their opening their hearts as he sees fit. Anyway I recently started sharing these quotes with my son by email, and it crossed my mind that others might be interested in what these writers have to say. I tend to enjoy the writing of vintage Christians, that is to say those from 200+ years ago. After hearing your message this afternoon about telling others, I thought I would tell you about it. Its not much, just my, not too technologically proficient way of giving back what I have recieved. My instagram handle is missuspilgrim (Im the one with the cute sheep face). Take care and happy click clacking. Tara
I love yellow its my favourite colour. Where did you get the yellow heart thingy you use as a row counter? Ive been watching you since the end of summer xxx
I think your lovely blue pullover with the colourwork yoke is gorgeous on you. If you used the light neutral colours to make it, you would look drab, even if someone else looks stunning in it. You have a lot of contrast and brightness to your colouring and because of that, that's what you need to wear, or it won't look right on you, just like me. I love light, low contrast neutrals. But they don't love me either, so I've learned not to wear them as a large piece like a sweater, near my face.
Trying to knit the Coorie poncho and I'm completely lost in the short rows ,the tutorial didnt help . 😞 I'm waiting to see you knit it to see if it helps🤣
My tip is put a stitch marker on each double stitch so you can see where they are. You don't have to do short rows. They are just to pull it up a bit at the back.
so, when I do a double stitch do i not need to turn the work but just continue to the end of round .I am so confused ,and thanks for taking the time for trying to help me.@@ruthlovestoknitpodcast
Ruth as usual beautiful finished short sleeved wee jumper I’m six foot two and twenty odd years older than you so your jumper be beautiful on my long body xxxxx
Ruth thank you for sharing the word ! I am praying that people around the world would come to know Jesus as their Savior! I have a question for you what are your favorite knitting needles? Do you use double pointed needles for knitting socks?
I love Lykke. I am a wooden needle girl. I use knitpro symphonie 9" circular needles for my socks. Just use DPNs like straight needles for the toe decreases.
Ruth, another terrific podcast! Don’t ever worry about the length it’s always never enough. Love all your bright colours and all the blues you choose, going to look great on you! Thank you so much for the lovely message at the end I am a Christian as well but always love the reminders, and you do it so well. Prayers for your Dad.

Prayers for your dad. Congratulations on #50 podcast! Thank you for your devotional at the end of your podcast.
Oooo! I need that Coorie in poncho
Thank you Ruth for allowing God’s Light to shine through you! If you don’t podcast during December, have a very merry CHRISTmas. ❤
You brought tears to my eyes at the end when you were quoting the hymn. It was one of my Grandma Ruth's favorites and I miss her. Her birthday was Dec. 2.
I love your chats - don't change a thing. And I thank you for your company in 2023. (I'm behind in my viewing because I'm also watching vlogmas)
Thank you Ruth!
Well done with your finished projects, Ruth.. gorgeous..
