- Welcome to my knitting podcast in English 🤎!
I'm coming to you from the Netherlands and my English is far from perfect. But hey ... isn't it all about the knitting and crochet?! So I'll give it a try and hope that some practice gives me more confidence. I enjoy all the inspiration in the worldwide knitting community so much and I would love to share mine with you.
What I wear and also my only finished object:
Ariana cardigan - Amy Christoffers

Hi Sarah! I have been watching every one of your podcasts starting with #20 and I am so happy to have found you!!! I have looked and looked for a knitting podcast to watch and thought I had found one a few weeks ago but no, it wasn’t what I was looking for. You are delightful, funny, talented, and your podcast is exactly what I had in mind! You asked about a crochet podcast and Bag O Day Crochet is my favorite. I love the way she teaches and also I love to watch her unbox new yarn. She loves all things yarn AND her favorite color is brown!!! I hope you check out her channel. Thank you for making English podcasts and for making me smile!💗🧶
Thank you Sarah for inspiring me. I just finished my Ariana sweather and I love it
Dear Sarah, try to purl with a smaller needlesize then you knit with.. If you have interchangable cables.. One needlesize bigger then the other.. Try it! :))
Thank you for that suggestion 🌿
It's a great tip,i have to come to thank you for this tip
Once again, your English is beautiful. When you question yourself about a word, you immediately find the correct word. I bet next year you won't even have to think when you speak English. I really am amazed at your language skills (and knitting and crochet skills too)!
Thank you Edina. I will not complain about my English anymore 🤍 ...
"I love to ignore my own rules" made me laugh out loud! I do the same thing! I think we creative people do this a lot.
Hahaha ... we absolutely do 🤍
Back again, lol! The weather in Chicago has been cool the last couple of days which is great. I believe fall will be hear soon, yahoo! So tried of the heat.
I have a couple more podcast for you to check out. All on UA-cam.

Like you, I knit and Crochet. I love doilies or thread crochet. I'm currently repairing a crocheted tablecloth my Grandmother made and knitting Metamorphic. I watch podcasts and take notes while working on my projects.
By the way, your English is beautiful! Waiting patiently for your next podcast and getting ready to go camping in the north woods of Wisconsin. You call it a caravan and we say RV/camper. Something else we have in common.
Thank you for that long list Diane! Here a camper is something which can drive on is own and a caravan is a little mobile home (is that the word maybe?) you pull forward with your car. Enjoy fall 🌿

Sometimes the names we call things is as interesting as our knitting or crocheting. Your camper is called a motorhome here and your caravan is an rv/camper/hybrid/trailer. Lol, four words to your one. We have a caravan!
Sarah, your English is excellent and so do not worry about it! I can’t speak Dutch and would never be able to do what you do! I have missed you and love seeing you again today!! Hugs from me!!❤️
Thank you Angela 🤍
Your cardigan turned out beautifully! I love each color you chose.
Thank you so much 🤍
I have now got this pattern and excited to make. Thank you
I always love to come & sit with you for a chat about what you are making. Your podcast is so cosy & welcoming that I forget myself and really feel that I must be right there for a little while. Personally, I think that is a hallmark of a very engaging experience! My daughter Natalja is so inspired to make a granny square cardigan like yours! I don’t do crochet, so I am just hoping she will make one for me, too!
Thank you so much! I enjoyed watching your podcast also. Your daughter and you are so enjoyable 🤍
Hi Sarah, have you ever heard of combination knitting for your rib stitches? Here are 2 tutorials, Fibre Bound knit neat 1x1 rib in the round and The Chilly Dog Combination knitting and why you should try it. Have a great weekend 😊
I think I am already doing that 🌿!
I love your sweater! You do very well with your English.
Thank you Leah 🤍
Hello Sarah!I have just discovered your podcasts😊I have so enjoyed those I have watched and will delight in back tracking and watching your older episodes.Your English is beautiful and you are both gentle and vivacious and engaging!!🥰I so enjoy your use of a Dutch word every now and again as I speak Afrikaans being from South Africa and so am able to understand very often and appreciate where our Afrikaans words and language originate from.It is lovely!Thank you for sharing your time your space your talents and yourself with us here🤗💕xx
Found that so funny.. 'I love to ignore my own rules'😂
I think your cardigan is beautiful! Your English is fine. You are a very relaxing and inspiring person.
Thank you Eileen 🌿
Loving your fun and informative podcast. You have as much trouble with english words as we do who have it as a first language so don’t worry. Your knitting IS getting neater. Also, when you are learning something new whether it is the english or now trying to ease your tension and knitting on your tips, you do a lot of concentration on your fingers and hands and you get very tense in your shoulders. That might be why it is sore. You need to be conscious of letting your shoulders relax as you knit. I absolutely love your granny square cardi. It looks so good on you.
Your granny square sweater turned out beautiful! It looks so good on you. I can understand why your heart jumps. I can't wait for the day when technology subtitles in any language no matter what is spoken, or simply dubs the videos for us. Then I can watch all the podcasts no matter what language the person is speaking :)
Thank you Heather and I absolutely agree ... that would be perfect 🤍!
I love your podcast and your “dutchie english”, it reminds me of my late father. He was stationed in Europe in the 50-60’s and had very fond memories of the Dutch people. I am grateful you record in English so I can enjoy out time together! 💜
Thank you. So lovely to hear about your late father. I had to google that term. But I understand that late father means he is not longer with you. Sorry to hear that 🤍 ...
I'm crocheting this cardigan due to your inspiration! I am an avid knitter and this is my first crochet cardigan. I will be following your modifications. Thank you for persevering in your English and sharing your crafting . I love your podcast
I really admire anyone who can speak a second (or more) language! I can read French but I couldn’t have a conversation. Thank you for doing an English version. Your knitting is beautiful and the podcast is fun to watch.
Thank you for watching Sharon. My French is awful 🌿 ...
Your cardigan is beautiful! A lovely podcast, thank you.
I am so delighted to find your podcast in English! The translation option on UA-cam is not always accurate or easy to follow, but that is what I was using previously for your videos. Your English is "spot on", believe me, you are very competent in English. I daresay I cannot speak a word of Dutch, so you're way ahead of me there! I love, love, love your Granny cardi; I especially love that it is fitted. To paraphrase you, it makes my heart leap! I must make one for myself. Hugs from Texas 😍😍😍 Barbara
This cardiguan is perfection. I always love your color choices ! Crochet and knitting together are great ! I think you will love urban folk shawl by Émilie Luis 🧡
Merci beaucoup 🤍 ...
Hi Sarah I’m one of your new ones love your crochet cardigan. Glad you make an english one your doing great with It and it’s nice to see new things to make
Love the cardigan & the changes you made! What a great idea!
Hi Sarah. If I could speak a foreign language as well as you speak English I would be very happy indeed. I have a Dutch daughter in law so I so enjoy hearing you talk about the Netherlands and mentioning the Dutch translations . You are like a breath of fresh air. Keep it up 🥰🥰
Thank you Hazel. You can share Dutch knitting terms with your daughter in law now haha 🤍
Craft and A Cuppa on UA-cam is a crochet podcast in English where she makes granny square garments from start to finish. Hopefully you will enjoy it.
Thank you! it is on my list right now 🤍
Please don’t worry about your English! Your podcast is very enjoyable and your English, a lot better than most of ours Dutch 😉
Thank you Maggie. Dutch is much harder to learn 🌿!!
The cardigan is so cute. I also prefer not to expose a lot of my back. You always bring a smile to my face. Thanks
Thank you Lisa 🤍
Such a lovely podcast. Your english is fab! Love that you said you want your buttons to be "unremarkable" and the cardigan is beautiful. Big makers love from Provence, G.
Thank you Gazelle 🌿
Your cardigan is so cute. I love the fit, it is very flattering.
Your english is great, "all those names" made me laugh quite a bit, it's odd how many technique names include a people name as well 😊 You are such a joy to watch, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much 🤍
Thank you for another fun podcast. Your doing fabulous with your English 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Annette 🤍
Sarah, you speak very well in English. I just discovered your UA-cam show and it’s great. You are so much fun and engaging. Love your crochet project! I want to make one.
Thank you Olga 🌿
Your cardigan is so so pretty 😍
Thank you Manuela 🤍
Your sweater turned out so well! I think the word you wanted was straps for your top. I get confused too with English and American terms for crochet. Have you ever seen cherry heart pod cast? She does other crafts as well but crocheting is her first passion. Oh she has a tutorial on weaving in ends.
Hahaha ... of course it are straps and not taps ... haha ... I am sorry 🤍 ... I will add Cherry Heart to my list. Thank you!
I also love your podcast, and really enjoy your English. You know so many words to describe everything. I think you speak better English than many English speakers. If you start listening to new podcasts try “The Knitty Stew”. She is a Canadian airline staff who knits and podcasts from different cities.
Thank you Jennesse 🤍. I wil check The Knitty Stew!
Love your cardigan ..its gorgeous ..by the way your english is fine ❤❤❤
Thank you Ruth 🤍
I just recently found your podcast and I so enjoy watching! Your Granny Square sweater is gorgeous! I love the colors!
Thank you Sara 🌿
It is half past seven in the morning. Your cardigan is amazing!!

Beautiful! You are such and nice inspiration!
Your cardigan is absolutely stunning and really suits you.
Thank you so much! I will watch your latest episode right now 🌿
Wonderful cardigan, so impressed its now on my list to make. I love your podcast and you do so well with your English, keep up the great work, I look forward to your podcasts.
Thank you so much 🤍
thank you for the joy beautiful sweater
Thank you Valorie 🤍
Goedendag Sarah, the Ariane cardigan turned out so beautyful that i decided to make one for me... because i am quite tall i will make a long Version in a marled sock yarn...
I love watching your Podcast and i love Holland ❣️💐😁
Greetings from germany, Anette 👋
Danke schön Annette ... enjoy making yours 🤍!
I have also saved this patter for a few months now but never got to it because of the summer knits. Looking at your sample, I have been inspired once again now and I LOVE your fit! Good recommendations to follow! Thank you! and your English is very good, no worries there
Thank you Like. Enjoy making your cardigan 🤍
Sarah, the last link doesn`t work for some reason. Where can we find you on Raverly? What is your user name there? I would love to add you as a friend.
Wonderful podcast as always. Loved it so much. It is very entertaining. 🙂
Love the cardigan you wear. It looks a lot better when tighter in fit. I saw the original pattern on Ravelry and it is a lot more loose fitting on the model. But tighter is better in this case.
Huggs from Rose-Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany.
P.S. You know what my greataunt always brought me from Holland when I was little? Hagelslag 🙂lol. I love that stuff. We used to sprinkle it on buttered bread. No worries about calories back in the day, lol. 🙂
Thank you Christina! I refreshed the link so it must work now. Don't you have 'hagelslag' in Germany? I rarely eat it, although chocolate is always a good idea 🤍
Your finished cardigan is gorgeous!!!! Maybe you could have a KAL for it?😄. Love how you put it all together❤️. Thanks again for a lovely podcast.
That's actually a good idea. Maybe I will once I start my second one 🌿
I love your sweater. I just got the pattern and now I really want to make one. It is beautiful and it looks wonderful on you.
Thank you Susan! Enjoy making yours 🤍
Hi Sarah! I adore your granny square cardigan! I might just have to make one myself!
Thank you, I absolutely recommend. Just found your podcast. It is on my (endless ...) list now too 🤍
What’s the amazing cardigan! The bubbly yarn is called boucle (as far as I know 😅)
Thank you ... boucle is the right word I guess. Thank you again 🤍
❤❤
I am a big fan of making granny squares Afghan. What type of yarn did you use for your pillow and Afghan behind you. Take care and you are for sure 9ne of my favorites. Oh I am from America
Thank you Judy. The pillow and shawl behind me are quite old. I have no idea what I used. Mainly scraps I guess. And acrylic for the shawl. Not my cup of tea anymore but the colors are my favorite 🤍
@@itisasarah I look forward to your next podcast.
Hi just wondering if tiny yarn needs to be used maybe size 3 something bigger??
Hoi Sarah, Hoeveel cm is eigenlyk 1 zo'n granny lapje van jou, vestje wat je gehaakt heb hier, incl donkere rand erom heen?
Thank you for another wonderful episode! You might enjoy the crochet podcast "Jayda In Stitches". It's all about crochet
Thank you Candace. I will add the podcast to my list 🤍!
