Oh my!! So so happy to see you! I was missing you so much and today I called up your podcasts to see if I had missed one-but alas, nothing-and here you are! Making my day!! ❤❤❤
So lovely to see you again. Love your knits, patterns and future knits. I was also delighted to hear your Mother had been to Cape Town and had brought back yarn for you. I was privileged to attend The Wool and Yarn Festival in the Karoo, where I met Adelle and did her advanced knitting course, what a delightful lady, so full of life and her stand was so colourfull. Karen of Miss La Motte is my favorite South African Dyer. Cowgirl Blues is also a favorite. As you have probably guessed, I am "proudly south african" and love to support out local dyers, but must confess to being intrigued by all the beautiful yarn bases available in the UK, USA and Europe. Please hurry with your new shawl pattern in crochet and knitting, I cant wait to get it on my needles. Thank you. From Bunny in Hillcrest South Africa.
Your accounts that give a window into your relationship with your mother and her travels are positively inspiring. Having lost my mom fairly recently, and having daughters on the brink on independence, I’m thinking a lot about nurturing our relationships. It’s lovely to hear your stories.
That was heartwarming, thanks. ❤️ May your upcoming projects and plans thrive and flourish and spark your joy. 🌸🙏👍😎. Looking forward to your next firework of inspiration.
Thank you very much for this beautiful poem at the end of your wonderful long podcast. You look absolutely gorgeous in these winter colours. That fuchsia is 👌🙏💐
So very nice to have you back, Amy....I missed that lovely soothing voice. Love all of your knits...especially the colors in the Fantastitch that you are working on. That blue yarn that you purchased in Oxford is simply amazing....love, love that color blue. Thanks for sharing and for being back with us. Take good care!
Thank YOU, Amy. I enjoyed seeing your FOs and WIPs, but I was moved when you began talking about poetry and simply loved the poem you read (and how you read it). We can all make this place beautiful. So true.
Love the idea of the shawl pattern you’re creating. I have two special skeins for the knitted sections and will find a suitable colour for the crochet. Very excited for your new design.
I also checked to see if I'd missed an episode as I definitely have missed you Amy, thanks so much for podcasting and sharing your tranquility and love for crafting. Your finished objects are really stunning and the yarn gifts from your mom are absolutely beautiful. Already looking forward to your next podcast 😂❤
As everyone else is saying, it is wonderful to see you here again! I love the backdrop of your wall of shawls, and definitely would like to hear more about the latest additions. I am currently working on The Article, from Kate Davies (and I am using the Yakkety Yak yarn I purchased at Ginger Twist a couple of years ago). The poem at the end was beautiful. I love the card at the beginning and the poem at the end. Thank you for this lovely gift of your time!
What a wonderful,rich episode, Amy..the poem at the end was particularly moving.Go well in your days. You are admired for your depth of knowledge and empathy for life and living.🙏❤🌏🐨xx
It’s so lovely to enjoy another episode from you. I can’t wait to see the progress on the things you are knitting on. You always inspire me to cast on something new!
It's so great to see you, I've missed you! I'd love to see a Chapter 3 of your shawl wall. You can stabilize that pom pom on your beret by threading the two ends to the inside and through two holes of a larger button that sits inside. Then you can just tie a simple knot and a bow, and remove easily for washing the hat.
I'm wearing my weekender today! I also had the same fits and starts with matching the faux seem with the ribbing but ended up just going with the pattern as-written. Yours looks so neat! I ended up adding additional seaming around the neckline too, because the neck opening was so large and stretched even more with wear. I did some mods to the sleeves too to make them narrower. I'm excited to see if you make other modifications along the way!
I was looking again at the pattern photos and she has the slipped stitches line up with a knit column in the rib. But I could not for the life of me figure out the pattern instructions to get the same positioning!
Great to catch up with you Amy. I am also knitting a shrug, by Kate Davies called "knowe".sounds like you had a wonderful Summer. They are short here in Atlantic Canada so don't blame you for taking a break and enjoying it.🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
Oh I’ve missed you ❤. I’m going to knit that scarf version for my brother! I think he’ll like it. 😊 His name is Duncan so it’s very appropriate 😉. The crochet sleeves, you can do it! If you can do a granny square you can do it all. UA-cam will help too. You could always do a trial swatch for practice first 😬 Good luck!
I do a lot of knitting but have recently started to experience pain in my 'throwing' arm and neck. Wondering whether to change my technique or not knit so much! Currently working on the Marie Wallin Yell cardigan and Caitlin Hunter Alpine Bloom. I want to make the Erika Knight cardigan your mum knitted last year with the colour work patches. All 4 ply, so a lot of knitting. Love your channel.
Hello Amy, it was nice talking to you last saturday on The Scottisch Yarnfestival😊. I hope to see you next year at the 10th anniversary next year. Greetings to your aunti, you look a lot like here.
Don't worry about doing any crocheting from here on in. Once you have made granny squares, understand how the stitches work and what makes a corner, and can recognise front from back, you can do any crocheting, especially since you can understand knitting patterns. I started out making a granny square as a small child, and after that, I could do anything kn crocheting. Really, the rest is just more of the same with slight variations, and once you do each variation, you will wonder what you were nervous about.
Yea, good to hear you again! Love all the things ! You are fortunate to have your Mom gifting you some beautiful yarns! Wow . The soho square is lovely right? Have a good week! ClaudiaSJI
I find it works really well to use a large, gigantic?, snap fastener for attaching the pompom. I stitch the male half to the pompom ( heavyweight sewing thread) and the female half to the hat top. It makes the pompom less wobbly and allows it to be readily removed for washing...or switched off if so inclined.
What a treat! I missed you this summer and kept wondering where you were! You have so many lovely projects on the needles, I never feel so bad when I have so many projects too!! Why do we feel guilty to cast on something else before we finish what we are working on?? 😂 Thanks for a lovely episode ❤
🥰 You are just amazing! 3rd Fantastich!?? I am actually at the bind off of my very first Fantastitch 🤗!! May I ask you if you did your icord bind off on the WS as instructed? I started but it almost looks like I should do it from the RS instead… appreciate your help💕🥰🙏
I just tried the braid yesterday, on the sleeve of my seaglass sweater. I undid it because of the bulk. But I read someone's comment about dropping a strand every now and then, and it might be a good idea. But so far I have grabbed my darning needle and weaved in the ends that were disturbing me, the old fashion way...
The Magic Word reminds me of Mad Libs we used to play as kids. the book was set up the same way, but the person choosing the noun, verb, adjective, etc doesn't have any context. The other person just tells them what sort of word to choose and records the answers. As a child, a lot of them came out really funny.
Hello Amy! This was a very entertaining episode with lots of wooly goodness! 😊 I don't know why Jackie chose that name for that shrug, in Germany it would be considered a wee bit offensive: Bloedel ....Blödel.... translated it means stupid, jerk, silly, dumb..... ???? Please, as a native English speaker, kann you give me a better meaning to name the Bloedel Shrug?
Oh my!! So so happy to see you! I was missing you so much and today I called up your podcasts to see if I had missed one-but alas, nothing-and here you are! Making my day!! ❤❤❤
The “together” scarf is just gorgeous ❤-and your crochet and garter stripe shawl-so lovely too!
Oh ! Amy ! I didn't realize how much I missed you and your sooithing voice, I am so glad you are back with this new episode !
So lovely to see you again. Love your knits, patterns and future knits. I was also delighted to hear your Mother had been to Cape Town and had brought back yarn for you.

Lovely knitting as usual, but that Septennial Twist is gorgeous and that color and style look absolutely stunning on you!
Your accounts that give a window into your relationship with your mother and her travels are positively inspiring. Having lost my mom fairly recently, and having daughters on the brink on independence, I’m thinking a lot about nurturing our relationships. It’s lovely to hear your stories.
So lovely to catch up with you and so many beautiful makes!! Love the Thegither Scarf too. Happy Autumn Amy 🍂
That was heartwarming, thanks. ❤️ May your upcoming projects and plans thrive and flourish and spark your joy. 🌸🙏👍😎. Looking forward to your next firework of inspiration.
Amazing episode as always. I missed listening to you and the amazing way you present your projects.❤
Thank you very much for this beautiful poem at the end of your wonderful long podcast. You look absolutely gorgeous in these winter colours. That fuchsia is 👌🙏💐
Your navy shrug is so chic!
So much inspiration in your episodes! Your eye for colour is wonderful.
The closing poem was so moving, and thought-provoking x

I enjoyed this episode and I loved the Good Bones poem. Thank you. Sheryll
I’ve been thinking about you the last week! I kept checking to make sure I hadn’t missed you! So, so, so happy to see you!
the pink wrap on you is exquisite!! love seeing your face again and hear your sweet voice. :)
Hi Amy, Glad to see you back, and my goodness you've been busy! Love the shawl wall - first time I've seen it.

Such an interesting episode! Thank you 😊
As always, thank you❤ I am always amazed at your color theory! I am just learning crochet but I have only loom knitted...
Nice seeing you, Amy! I love that poem at the end. So true as a parent. Stay well, Kimberly
Thank you, I missed you so much!! You knitting is amazing. Your thoughts and words stay with me and makes me think, thank you.
So good to see you again Amy and what a wonderful batch of projects to inspire!
Great knitting. Glad to see you back.

Still here and enjoyed every minute . So many beautiful items. The beret and the red sweater especially. I think red is your color😊
Hello Amy,your pink sweater wrap suits you beautifully. So nice to see you again ❤️
So happy to see you again. Always a delight to hear your voice and I missed you friend 💖
What a delicious treat! I agree your voice was a soothing balm to knit to. Thank you!❤

I literally shook my head and rolled my eyes as I giggled a little when you said you are crocheting mohair. I can't wait to see how that goes.
Could well be a disaster. In which case, I’ll be knitting the sleeves and collar. 😂
Good to have you back

Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have just ordered from KFO…. Looks beautiful and is highly praised. Your first order the postage is paid by them 😊
Oh good to know!

Hi Amy I’m missing you’re pod casts , hopefully you are well xx
The Magic Word reminds me of Mad Libs we used to play as kids. the book was set up the same way, but the person choosing the noun, verb, adjective, etc doesn't have any context. The other person just tells them what sort of word to choose and records the answers. As a child, a lot of them came out really funny.
I LOVE the ending poem. I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the Arthur Findlay College and taking classes there remotely? Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
I hadn’t heard of them before, so can’t really advise. Was it astrology you were looking to study there?
@@AmyPalko I was looking at mediumship classes. I’m also interested in astrology but don’t think they offer it. Thank you so much for the response. 💚
Loved the poem xx I have you listened to Still Life by Sarah Winman beautiful listening ❤
I haven’t but I’ll check it out - thanks!
❤

Please, as a native English speaker, kann you give me a better meaning to name the Bloedel Shrug?
So it’s referencing the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island in the US. A completely different cultural reference point.
@@AmyPalko ahhhh.. .now I understand. Thank you Amy, for the explanation! 👋
