I would have loved to have been able to know my paternal grandmother better. I imagine sitting with her and learning to knit. My dad remembers seeing her fall asleep in the rocking chair while knitting socks and mittens for nine kids.
Hi Ruth. I voted the long videos because I thoroughly enjoy knitting with the wonderful UA-cam bloggers I subscribe to, like yourself. But on occasion I’m so lucky enough to get to spend time with my lovely daughter, who works in a yarn shop, and lives and breaths knitting, herself. An hour with my favourite UA-cam bloggers is the best way to spend my evenings knitting, but a day spent with my daughter, knitting and chatting is sheer bliss!
Cheers, Jen xx
I’d love to sit with my Mom….she and my Dad died of Covid three weeks apart in April of 2020. I miss them so very much. My Mom taught me to knit socks which is my crazy obsession…..I thank her every time I finish a pair. Thank you, Ruth…you are such a dear, kind person!
So so sorry for your loss. That must be so hard. Hoping you can find some comfort in your knitting x
Hi Ruth. Thank you for sharing so openly with us and I love your honesty. I would love to sit and knit with my grandmother again. She taught me to knit way back in the 1950s. Knitting has given me life long pleasure and a link with her although she passed many years ago.
I would love to sit and knit with my mum. I didn't really come to knitting (she taught me when I was young) until after she died 18 years ago. I like to think she'd be so happy that I followed her love of knitting eventually.
I just like watch a podcast while I knit, or watch tv in the evenings. I love your podcast Ruth and just knit what you want to knit as long as it brings you pleasure!
I would love to sit and knit with my Nan. She was an avid crafter, she helped me learn to knit but I never really got much time to craft with her before she passed away.
I love shawls! Don’t apologize - so much more interesting than boring socks 😊 Enjoy xxxxx
I would love to knit with my Grandma Turner. She had 9 children, so when we visited there were many cousins Aunts and Uncles around. We didn’t get much one on one time with her. Sometimes Grandma and several Aunts would be knitting, I was fascinated. I would like to have known her better.❤
I would love to sit and knit with my Grandmother and Sister, they shared crafty talents with me in the fiber arts. ❤❤❤❤ wonderful memories
I would love to sit and knit with my two great aunties who both knit and crotcheted beautiful garments for my first child 47 years ago 😊
I would love to knit with most anybody who’s available, and chat about stitching and life.
I enjoyed your podcast after a visit to the dentist 😏. My mother wasn’t a knitter, but she was 47 when she died. She would be 86 now and it comforts me to imagine her living in my home and, perhaps, quietly knitting alongside of me.
I do enjoy a longer podcast so I can settle-in for a nice rest and knit. I’m currently knitting a “Mindfulness” shawl with the yarn I won from the Gansey Motif KAL with the Albanach Knitter. Guess what. It’s yellow 🌼🧶
Gosh that is do young. Glad you are enjoying the pattern and yarn. X
What I would give to be able to sit and knit with my mom! She taught me to knit when I was 12. She passed away before I rediscovered and fell in love with knitting again.
I would love to sit and knit with my nanny. She tried to teach me to knit when I was a child but I could only ever knit holes 😂 I would love for her to know that something must have stuck in my brain because 40 years on I managed to teach myself ❤
I would love to sit and knit with my mom 😊❤
I would love to knit with my (dead) Grandma. She was always knitting socks. She used dpn’s. I was never interested in sock knitting when she was alive but I’m sure she would be fascinated and horrified at the different ways of knitting socks that are around now!
It’s your knitting Ruth - you can cast o if you want - and as many as you want 😂. I would like some time to knit with my cousins. Both taught me to knit more than 50 years ago and both have sadly passed away.❤
I would love to sit down and knit with you, Mandy from Mouse’s Makes and Davina from Little Workroom Crafts.........all my favourite Podcasters!!! I always say “ knit what brings you joy” so just carry on knitting your shawls Ruth. X x
How fab would thdt be. X
I love to sit and knit with my dear friend who sadly lives a long way away
Maybe you could do a virtual knit night?
Ah, Ruth, I did laugh! I have also had a "right thats it! Um not podcasting anymore and im giving up knitting" moment or three! Lol!
Im livky enough to knit with most of the people I'd like to on zoom but I'd love to show my Dad how far ive come from the oddly shaped "square" he helped me with when I was four or five 😊 xx
Ruth you made me laugh and cry in this episode! I would love to knit with my mum and auntie. My mum has been gone nearly 25 years and my auntie for 2 years. I miss them both so much 😢
Love to sit and knit with you, Ruth, and talk about our missions experiences.
Thanks, Ruth, for another lovely podcast. I would love to knit with you as I think it would be some craic - a bundle of laughs. Your shawls are all beautiful. x
I would love to sit and knit with my best friend since grade school. Her name is Carla. She lives in Texas and I am in Florida. She is my crafty buddy. I miss her terribly.
I'd love to sit with my gran, she died when my mum was 10 yrs old, so i only know bits of her life. I would hope she knew how to crochet or knit and i could chat with her about her life etc. That shawl is beautiful, i've never crocheted or knitted a patterned shawl like that! I've done 3 singular socks for Marie Curie, i need to catch up and get them paired up, including the #dustemoffmal socks! Even tho the end date has been & gone, I will still finish the project! I loved the rainbow yarn, gorgeous! Thank you for sharing x
The longer the better is best.
I would love to sit and knit with my mom and my aunt who is my mom's sister. Both have been gone for several years now.
I lost my sock mojo over the summer. What got me back into socks is Charlotte Stone’s Charming Colorwork Socks. I saw her on Fruity Knitting. I got the book out of my public library and knitted a few of the motifs for some kitchen hot pads and fell in love with her patterns. Purchased the Kindle version of the book so I can have it on my phone and my iPad. I’ve been working on my first pair of socks from her book and don’t want to work on anything else (even though I need to finish a blanket for a wedding at the end of October.) I’m finding colorwork socks on my 9” circulars to be sooooo much fun.
I have the book so must give them a go. Thanks for the tip x
My daughter and I get together a day on most weekends to knit. It’s been a blessing to spend knitting time together.
I think it would be really fun to sit and knit with you!
I dream of knitting with Ruth.
I would love to knit with my mom . She tsught me when i was young but i dont remember ever seeing her knitting or doing embroidery
I would love to sit and knit with my mom .
I would love to knit with my mums mum. I never met her but my mum says she loved to knit.
The fun answer to your question would be: I would love to sit and knit with Tom Daley. That would be lot of fun.
But the actual answer is that I would love to sit and knit with my mum. We don't live very near each other and both are busy. If we would sit and knit together, she would have taken the time for herself ( and a bit for me) which is something she didn't do lately.
Just knit what you want and what you enjoy in the moment! We are only the audience, you are the one knitting it all those hours outside of the podcast hour. We will enjoy listening and watching you talking about it when you enjoy it. And actually I love shawls :-)
I don't know anyone else in person that knits, but anyone I would like to sit and talk to I would knit with.
I don't feel so bad about my 3 shawl wip's now!😂
I'd love to sit and knit with so many, but I would love to sit with Elizabeth Zimmerman. All the quotes I've seen from her, I'm just very curious as to what her personal likes and dislikes were in knitting.
I would love to sit and knit with Freddie Mercury 😄. Can you imagine elaborate him sitting and knitting? I think I’d have a jumper finished before I got a word in, I wouldn’t want to interrupt him 😂
I would love to just knit with my three daughters but unfortunately none of them are into knitting.
Matthew 22:37-39 is my favorite scripture. When I feel overwhelmed or confused, those words bring me peace and comfort. Thank you for your message. The Lord always has you give the perfect message at the perfect time. ✝
God is good x
Awesome! Thank you!!!
Sorry, this was not meant to be my comment for your video. I think it deserves a wee bit more if a detailed one...
Great shawl. I'm not a knitter so I won't apply to win, but the person U would love to learn knotting from os my grandmother's best friend who was such a talented knitter, and actually had a local yarn shop. My grandma always looked elegant in suits, special hats and coats her friend had knitted for her. Such great memories.
Sorry, but I just had to laugh at your bantering about the test patterns. I'm 62 and been there, done similar messing ups. Glad you decided not to quit knitting altogether, as well as podcasting!!!
Imagine having humid 35-38 degrees celius constantly for at least 5 months straight. Please feel free to send some coolness my way, whenever you can't handle it.
It's 37 today, with a feel of 43!!!🥵
Great podcast!!! Don't mind shawls! I think I might be one of those who has 25 WIPs around, not all active...😢
We don't cope with high temps as our houses are built to hold heat in, no AC or ceiling fans. Saying that we don't cope with snow & ice either ☹️
I would love to sit and knit with my nan again, although I can imagine she wouldn't have anything to do with "new fangled ideas", such as top down sweaters and socks 😂 I would also like to sit and knit with you in person Ruth as I always knit while watching your podcast
I would love to sit and knit with god ❤ nice podcast
I would love to sit and knit with anybody as I live on my own and don’t know anybody who knits. How do you find your neck light?
I like it. I only use it in the car.
Your podcasts are never too long!!! Really enjoy them. What a good Christian you are - no we should never be afraid to tell people that we're Christians. Something we can feel very proud of 😁
I would love to sit and knit with my Mom. When she was alive we would get together and sew. Lovely memories 💖
Thank you Ruth for another lovely podcast! I would love to knit with you, Ruth. Your upbeat personality, heart of gold and sense of humor shines through all of your podcasts, such a joy to watch!
Thank you. Maybe some dayx
I would love to sit and knit with my Mom. She's been gone 30 years but I still miss our time together. She would be so happy to see that knitting has become a passion of mine.
I would love to sit and knit with you Ruth! I think I’d learn a lot about shawl knitting ❤
I would love to sit with my elderly lady who was our neighbour who took me under her wing and we used to knit together. I love the length of your podcast. It helped me process lots of garden produce 👍
I would love to knit with my grandma who passed away when I was 17. Now I am 61 and still miss her warmth and patiance. I hope that in the near future I will have the chance to visit your beautiful ireland. Greetings from germany, Gaby ❤
Would love with my lovely Mum. Sadly no longer will us but was my best friend. We got up to lots of wonderful adventures and have great memories. She taught me to knit and every stitch, even now, is a wonderful connection to her. Thanks for your lovely podcasts.
I am a quiet person and enjoy knitting quietly. I would love to knit with my nana, who was born in 1903. She used to make lovely things when she came to live with my family when she widowed.
Jinny 🕊
I would love to sit with my husbands Great Aunts. They taught me to crochet and gave me a love for yarn crafting. And now I am a new excited knitter!
I would love to see with my MomMom who bought me my first knitting kit at the age of 8.
I would love to knit with anyone. I live on a small island, none of my friends knit and we have no knitting group. So podcasters usually keep me company while knitting.
I would love to sit and knit with my mum who I lost 2 years ago. I have 2 of her WIPs to finish which I will do at some point, she was a beautiful knitter
I would love to sit and knit with my Mum again,I did as a child but she died many years ago , I never got to know her when I was an adult, she taught me my love of knitting which has help me whether the storms of life
Just love your Christian message at the end, makes my day. You are allowed 8 shawls, they all have a purpose. I was just glued to the screen in the wool shops, it was just amazing and you did such a wonderful job showing us. Thankyou for a great podcast and we all want you back in 2024 ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to sit and knit with you. You are such a sweet lady. I like your Christian values and the way you go with the flow on your podcast.
Oh, I would so love to sit and knit wirh you, Ruth, my dear sister in Christ!
I would give anything to sit and crochet with my Momma. 🥰
I'd like to sit and knit with Jesus. I'll bet he's an awesome knitter. 😁
My mom …I would love to do anything with her…I miss her so …
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE ago sit and knit with my mom! She's been gone for 7 years now and she had very poor vision for the last 8+ years of her life so she couldn't knit or crochet. I'd also love to knit with my Nana!
Also, what size needles did you use for your snood? Such a fun and easy travel project!
3.5mm
Oh to sit and knit with my MomMom, that would be lovely. She gave me the gift of knit and crochet at the age of 9; what a blessing has kept me going for 60 years.
Funny to see your children dressed the same at the beach, can you hear them had you suggested it.😮
I know right!!
Dear Ruth! Don't be so hard on yourself! You know this season of life will pass and I promise you, life on the other side of menopause is so much better! Just think how good menopause is for your prayer life! And the prayer life of those around you 🙂🙃😉
Never thought of it that way 🤪
I would love to sit and knit with my mom who passed many years ago . She was only 57 so I would so be blessed if I had that chance. It would be fun filled with lots of fun times talking about my grandchildren and her great grandchildren. Love love your podcast Ruth. So much fun and very light. Love your shawls and your favourite color.
So sorry for your trials and tribulations. But just to let you know that after hearing what you were going through it has given me the confidence to continue with my knitting. Mistakes and all. God bless you. ❤😊🤗
If you enjoy it then keep going x
I would love to sit and knit with my Mother, she always knitted but I have only taken it up seriously later in life, she is probably really tickled watching me make all sorts of things. Are there any sheep in heaven?🐑
Sheep well we will have to wait and see 😄
I would love to sit and knit with my dad. He spent a lot of years as a child in a sanatorium for his health and was taught how to knit and sew, but he loved making his own socks on four needles….he passed away in ’91, but yes would love it if I could sit with him and knit now….x x x 🥰
I would love to knit with my mom. She tried so many times to teach me to knit and crochet and I was never interested. It was years after she passed away that I started knitting and crocheting. I hope she would be proud. Miss her a lot.
She definitely would be proud x
Lovely to see you again . I am so surprised we didn’t just end up as two puddles on the pavement 😂. You forgot to mention that the wheel fell off the pushchair at least fine times 😂😂. It was so good to meet you at last and thank you for being so kind about me being so late bless you xxx
The wheel issues can stsy between us 🤪😄
I would love to sit and knit with fishermen's wives ,who used to create special patterns with different meanings that were special to their loved ones on their garments and all the stories they could tell.xx
This gave me goosebumps.
I would love to sit and knit with all my favourite knitting podcast hosts, especially you Ruth! Knitting podcasts have brought joy, inspiration, encouragement and good company to me in the past few years.
I would love to sit and knit around my Grandmother’s kitchen table with her and my Mom and Aunt, her daughters. Oh, the conversations we would have! I miss them all very much. And thank you, Ruth, for another fun podcast! You are a joy!
I love to sit and knit with my sweet husband of 60 years-evenings as we watch tv! ❤
Another lovely episode, as always. I always feel like a good friend is just chatting away telling me what she made that week. As to whom I would love to sit and knit with, I really wish I could knit with my mother again. She taught me how to knit when I was 7, and up until the age of 13 or so we would sit under a tree during the summers and knit away together. And then I became too cool to hang out with her and we never really knit together again. I grew up, got married, had 4 gorgeous daughters, and realized I never was cool in the first place and these days get my kicks from sitting and knitting (and a bit of whisky on the weekends). My mom passed away 14 years ago and now I wish I had gotten over myself a lot quicker and knit with her more.
And by the way, we don’t need professional podcasts, we need podcasters that put their personalities and souls into their podcasts, that is what makes them really interesting ❤
Oh how gorgeous, Falkland island wooollll soooooo soft so lovely to knit with too. And it looks beautiful, you just having a wee blip , you a very clever knitter ,this fog will lift and your moojooo will return ,keep knitting and podcasting please you a huge shining star 🌟 ❤❤
I would love to sit and knit with my Mom, who is gone to glory many years ago. She taught me to knit and she would so enjoy all the yarn choices now available. The knitting would be great, but the talking would be the best! 💕
This was a fun episode! You mentioned Gilmore Girls. The town in the show , Stars Hollow, is based on Washington, Connecticut. There is a yarn shop called Stars Hollow Yarns. It is quite possibly the most perfect yarn store I have ever been in. From the yarn selection to the building itself, it's beautiful.
I live on the southern coast of CT, but didn't know that Gilmore Girls was based on Washington, CT. My daughter and I will definitely make our way up there--and the yarn shop you recommend will be the icing on the cake. Thank you!
@@lesliewaddell3565 I'm in Bridgeport. I have been to every yarn store in the state. I can tell you that Stars Hollow is by far the best store in Connecticut.
I would love to sit and knit with my mum. Unfortunately she had to stop knitting more than 25 years ago as it was causing her too much pain. I would love to share time with her knitting and talk about our projects. At least she always asks me what I am working on and she start writing a list of the things she would like to have. ❤
I would love to sit and knit with my mom. She passed away in 2020 and she loved to knit socks for my dad. I still have some pairs she knit for me. Absolutely adore your podcast and share your love for shawls!
I would love to knit with you Ruth
I would love to sit and knit with my Nan - I sat watching her as a child and would like her to know how she inspired me to learn how to to do it 😍
What a joy it was to sit and listen and watch along with you while working on my cowl project. I hear you with the hormonal brain fog... it’s very frustrating and I find it upsetting and definitely shakes my confidence. I have to remind myself that it’s part of this ‘season’ of my life. I’m so glad you went right for your happy shawl place. I would like to sit and knit with Gerard Butler (but I don’t think he knits 😆) He could just sit there and I could hang out with him while I knit. Haha. My husband’s Gran was a master knitter and she gave me her needles and pattern books before she passed. I would enjoy sitting and knitting with her, but I’ll have to wait for the other side of eternity.
Gorgeous yarn shop visits!! Would love to visit both those places one day.
Ooh now you are talking. We could teach him to knit 😍
I would love to sit and knit with my granny! She passed away when I was pregnant with my first baby. She taught me to crochet, which led to me knitting.
Also I would love to sit and knit with you! Your podcast brings me so much joy ❤️
I just ordered yarn for the ballycare shawl but hadn't bought the pattern yet. Perfect timing!
Oh Ruth you made me chuckle so much this episode - but yes cast on all the things that bring joy to your heart. Like many others here I would love to have the chance to sit and knit with my mum. I didn’t start knitting until after she passed away unfortunately so we never got the chance although we did spend time together crocheting granny squares when I still lived at home. My mum was an amazing knitter and crocheter and I treasure all the lovely things she made for my daughter when she was born. Heirlooms in the making I’m sure. Love to you and yours . X
I would love to have time again to knit with my mum. When I was young she didn’t have much spare time. Then while I was working I had limited time. So we never really just sat back and knit and chat together. I’d love to experience that with her. And my other fav is to knit with all my podcaster “friends”. Seriously I receive so much pleasure watching all you podcasters who so generously give of yourselves and time xox
I would love to sit with my auntie,,,,she is in England in nursing home now with dementia,,,,,,
I am in canada,,,,Also my mom,,,who passed away ages,,,,,ago ,,,,
So happy I have found podcasters,,,,and have 2 knitting groups,,,,l which is so lucky,,,,
Love all UR shawls,,,,Ruth!!!!
Take care,,,
Elaine 💖🏡
I would love to knit with my frien Kate. She and I were neighbors for a few years and were such knitting buddies. About 12 years ago we both moved to different states ...not a couple blocks apart like before. We keep in touch. But...I would love to knit with her again.
Your shawl is beautiful and I sure enjoyed your podcast!
Greetings from across the water!
REMINDER: Ruth it is just for a moment that you are facing a bump in your knitting. Your flesh will feel no confidence but that too passes. Your knitting skills come from God and can never be lost unless it is His will and the Great Majesty IS NOT an Indian giver ( Pardon the word Indian). We forever have the blessings He gives unless He takes or we throw them away. If you don't use it you lose it. So, it's alright. It'll be a little time before you go back to test knitting and then you're back at it. I just started my journey with test knitting and I'm enjoying it. It is my second one now.
Pray Ruth each time before you knit and when you stop. Continue to-do that as you please. It'll be fine as time goes on. Proverbs 3:5-7, Philippians 4:13 You take care now and JESUS LOVES US.
Hi Ruth--I just found your podcast through Leanne of the Knitty Stew. I was just looking for yarn to cast on an Ooh La La for Isabell Kramer's Take Your Pick (TYP) KAL and there you are in your lovely version! I am also a shawl knitter, much more than socks; I never lose my shawl mojo (oops hope I didn't just jinx myself) but can't seem to get through one sock let alone 2 these days. I live in Florida but I have been to your area many years ago, to the castle there; I must go back now that I know about the LYSs! Thanks for sharing with us and keeping me company while I work through my WIPs.
I would love to be able to sit and knit with my Nan, she taught me to knit and I know she would be so proud of my knitting progress ❤
Thank you for your podcast. Your projects are gorgeous! I am currently working on a pair of Knitted Knockers for donation.
Ruth, I have loved thinking back about those special people in my life that I have knit with and it is a toss up between 2. One would be Harriet, the lady who taught me to knit when I was about 7 or 8. She was Hawaiian (of Japanese descent) and was interned in California during WW2 (even though she and her husband were US citizens) which is where she learned to knit. She has been with the Lord a long time but I think of her often. The second would be my mom. Mom was not a knitter but she loved hand work and I have fond memories of sitting with her and my sister-in-law and spending wonderful hours of fellowship and needlework. Mom has been with our Lord over 10 years now so the grief of my loss has been replaced with sweet memories. I would love to knit the Ballyclare shawl for a sweet lady in our church who suffers from dystonia and is often cold. By the way, you are my current favorite person to sit and knit with. I love watching your podcast and knit with you to the very end.
