A visit with friends is always good for the spirit. Home comings with yarn and chocolate are very nice. But watching your pup sleeping so innocent and content is priceless! Take care dearie 😘
I'm so envious of your lovely weekend holiday! I feel the need for some blue skies and green grass. It's so gloomy here in the middle of the US (Missouri) and no sun in the foreseeable forecast.
Hi. Sorry you've got dreary weather - we were so lucky to have that cold but sunny day. Hope you get some warmth and brightness soon. Thanks and take care xx
How wonderful with all those gifts - and really generous of you to share pictures from the handfasting. Must also comment on the sweater in the first part - it was great! Take care 🧶❤️🌷
What beautiful countryside Lesley, and glad you had such a wonderful relaxing time with your friends. It’s a dream of mine to do a trip on one of those gorgeous longboats….
Hi Muireann - I fancy one of those boats too - although I suspect I would make it very untidy, very quickly! Thanks so much and hope all is well with you xx
My daughter had hand fasting as part of her wedding ceremony. It was a lovely exchange with their own vows at the tying of each cord. Another enjoyable podcast, old friends are the best.
Thanks Teena - it was certainly a time with much laughter - we all have quite a warped sense of humour, so I hope we weren't overheard! Take care and keep well xx
Hi Lesley, good to see you in good shape and accumulating more stash! (and chocolate). Spring is coming, at last. Have a wonderful weekend, take care xx
Thank you for sharing your getaway with us. I hope that it was just what you needed. The pictures of the estate look lovely. Your yarn gifts are so pretty; you are very lucky to have such a generous family. Today, my knitting friends went to the Carolina Fiber Festival in Raleigh. It was lots of fun, a bit overwhelming, but it was fun spending the day squishing yarn and, I made a few purchases. I was restrained, though, because now that my eye is healing, I am allowed to get on a plane. So my Supervisor (aka, my husband) and I are going to the Netherlands and Belgium in two weeks. I plan to make a trip to Stephen & Penelope, and there will be yarn buying and tulips bulbs will be shipped home. Hope continue having a relaxed week. Cheers!
Hi Delores - glad your eye is healing and that you have been able to continue your trips. Well restrained at the Fibre Festival - have a wonderful time in the Netherlands and Belgium (don't forget Belgian chocolate, too - that's pretty good). Have a lovely trip and thanks for being here xx
So pleased you enjoyed your visit with your friends. Lovely to get away sometimes. A little bit more yarn for the stash? Nothing wrong with that! Enjoy and take care x
Always great to see you I’m living vicariously through all my podcasters for the next 4-6 weeks I had rotator cuff surgery yesterday that has been a long time coming thanks to a misdiagnosis. So lots of recovery and tv time. Your trip looked fab you are so lucky to have such great friends. Stay well
Hi Lesley. I'm glad you've had a lovely weekend away. Especially after the difficult start to the new year. I've seen a few different podcasts mentioning the sirdar yarn. All gorgeous colours. Have good weekend. X
Thanks Angela. It's a yarn that feels nice, too - lightweight for the bulk and quite soft. Hope you and yours are all doing as well as possible. Take care xx
I was knitting with James C Brett marble yarn just as you showed your 2 lovely skeins! What are the odds? I love that yarn for gifts and soft scarves. Thank you for the video, Lesley.💜🧶
Yvette here from canada ,I love the sweater you are wearing today ( in the first part of the video) I like the way you combine colors in such a coherent way
Hi Lesley, spending time with friends is an important time. They know and understand you and if they are anything like my two best friends, also tell on when you are not being yourself!! We've been friends for well over thirty years. I've not managed to see one of my brothers for Christmas yet. We will do at some point. Have a fabulous weekend xxJane 🐑🌼
Thanks Jane - these are friends that I've known for a few years, but feel like it's been much longer - I am very lucky, Christmas is a moveable feast, sometimes! Take care and have a good weekend. xx
Leslie, I didn’t have a chance earlier to send my condolences on the death of your father. You and your family were in my thoughts. Thanks for another lovely podcast. Take care.
Thanks Marilyn - that is very kind of you. We are all doing pretty well, concentrating on the logistics and practical, when the emotional gets too much. Thanks again and hope life is treating you kindly xx
Hi Lesley, It;s a while since I caught up with your vlogs, I love a good catch up splurge. Liking the hair style & wow to your colourful glasses, they really suite you. What pattern is that wonderful multi coloured jumper please? It makes me smile when you show us your new yarn, but never the chocolates you got LOL. Take care x
Hi Nelly. Lovely to hear from you - I hope that you're well. The chocolates don't last long enough to make it to the vlog! The colourful sweater is a "Recalibrate", which I made during December, with an advent that I received. I thoroughly enjoyed making it. Thanks and take care xx
