I absolutely loved the farm tour! Oh those trees and pastures and brooks even!! What colours and what space! That part was very well done, Jennifer, wind sound and all (which I personally love). I enjoyed the yarn review also, as I get the various types mixed up. Love every part of your podcast, from the weather forecast to the latest update of the farm. I was touched by how respectful a tribute you paid to your Poppy, Kim, for his sacrifices and for his strength to start a new life despite the horrors of the war. It is important to remember and to honour. Thank you for sharing.
I'm going through from the beginning and love your podcast. Jennifer does an amazing job of keeping up with and responding to comments. Thanks so much for what you do!
Thanks for sharing a video of your beautiful farm and the sheep and horses. Useful info about the different yarn types. What I love most about your yarns are the beautiful colours.
Kim, your sentiments about the thought of going through a war are exactly the same as mine! Here! Here! To the shout out to those who did, and continue to serve in the military!
Congratulations on a brilliant episode. We loved seeing the farm with your beautiful horses and really enjoyed the little bit of history and gratitude at the end.
Enjoyed your episode, and especially your memories of your Poppy. My grandfather fought in WWII and my grandmother recently passed away at 100. She was a 21 year old mother of 2 little boys when he left for the war. I just can't imagine!
Love this episode, have been watching from the first one because I first saw you on Fruity Knitting and was so excited to see you again on that pod cast with your lambs. These are the only two knitting podcasts I value and watch, I've tried many. Thanks for your stories, humour, projects and that family feeling. Also, Andrea or Andrew knitted their daughter her red/orange hiking jacket in your wool.
Wonderful episode from beginning to end. Thank you for your tribute to the men and women who have served and are now serving. I am a military brat and was married to a military man so I know first hand sacrifices made. Loved hearing about "Poppy". Your farm is a dream and your horses are beautiful. Are they Morgans?
Another great podcast! What a beautiful tribute to those who served. My parents were in Belgium during the war a d I can't even imagine what they went through. My dad was too young to serve but became part of the French Resistance for the duration of the war. He never talked about it though. Such horrors they must have seen! I'm knitting with the eldon lace ...the Virgo shawl...in autumn birch and lovingly it. Will knit again with it for sure. Love the video of the farm. I hope I get to see the sheep next time I visit.
I am so happy you were focused on by Fruity Knitting! You deserve to be recognized, yay. Your tribute to "Poppy" was very touching and moving. And aren't family stories great? The floor scraping with the edge of broken glass is what I am referring to.
Well girls, I totally understand pigs loving sugar as I do too lol. It’s heartfelt that you were honoring your grandfather. I’ve been checking out Fruity Knitting. It’s so sad about Andrew. I wished I had started binging their podcasts starting with episode not vice versa. Kim’s sweater will be totally awesome. I could never knit that but it stunning
I loved your vlog, the "L'enveloppe' is great and oh, how nice Prince Edward Island is. I'm living in the Netherlands (in the part where tulips aren't grown, only in gardens, and dandelions are abundant (they are called "horseflowers" in Dutch ;)). And I wanted to share a little story about the Liberation of my mothers family in 1944/1945. This part of the country was liberated during the winter, the total liberation of the Netherlands took half a year longer. They lived in a little village, and my aunt was 8 years old, my mother only 1 y. In the primary school, 50m from their home, the soldiers, I believe mostly Canadian, were stationed. My aunt told us that she got a taste of chocolate for the first time, and that the men were so nice and sociable to her. She was very sad for months after they left. We still owe these young and brave men a lot! Greetings from Holland, Marleen
Thank you for sharing the stories about your Poppa. My father served in the RCAF as a mechanic on the Spitfires. He never told me of his experiences but opened up to our daughter after she told him she had been to the Canadian cemetery in Normandy while studying in France one summer. It was quite an incredible story to hear and before he died, I did my own research to find details about his service. Surprisingly, I actually found a photo of him and his squadron in a history of the RCAF...gave me shivers. We have NO idea of what they went through but we owe them so much! And thank you for explaining about your different yarns; most informative. I'm going to use some of my first handspun to make a Sheldon for my granddaughter.
Can’t wait to see your Jennifer Beale designs knitted up, she is fast becoming my favourite designer! Love your podcast, can’t wait for my Fiddlehead yarn to arrive 😍😍😍
I so enjoy your podcasts. Your property is incredibly beautiful! My father fought in WW2, in the Asian theatre and would never speak about it. He was in the last mounted cavalry.
Ellen Chappell mounted wow! We’ve been profoundly affected by the stories of war horses as well. What a shame no one was able to speak about it as a means of healing. Our love to you!
another great podcast. thanks for show us the farm. and who knew brown sugar had that effect on pigs! and love your wips!!!! WOW!!! they are going to be gorgeous!!!!
Found your podcast through Fruity Knitting, and am working through all your episodes. Thoroughly enjoying them! Your farm is beautiful, as is your yarn. Would love to visit PEI one day! Margaret (Vancouver, B.C.)
Fleece & Harmony I must admit that it was the gorgeous lamb 🐑 that captured me on Fruity Knitting and now that I have caught up with all your podcasts, I am hooked! Very interesting podcasts and a lovely way to spend an hour along with my knitting! Thank you!
Tammie Nichols 2 years!! That’s hard. Thank you so much for sharing that with us, and our other viewers. Our love and gratitude go out to you and your daughter. ❤️❤️❤️
Another great podcast ladies and really enjoyed the story about Poppy. You mentioned your other grandad's middle name - Sinclair. I live in the very far north of Scotland in Caithness. The Sinclair were a very influential family in Caithness in the 14th century. There is a ruined castle called Girnigoe and Sinclair. Hope this might be of interest to you!
Lorraine Mackay that’s so cool! We love Scottish history! It was impossible to tell on the video but his middle name was spelled St. Clair. Still haven’t heard from our Mom on where that came from!
@@FleeceHarmonyPodcast Ah, I wondered if it might be St Clair. St Clair is a variant of Sinclair. Would be interesting to find out. You might be of noble origin 😃
I really like the Fruity Knitting too!! But I really like yours too. I live in Saint John, NB and would love to visit your store if we ever take a trip to “The Island.”
Thanks for another fabulous episode. Loved the farm tour and I was wondering where were the dogs? In Australia, sheep farmers rely on dogs to help manage the sheep is that handled differently on PEI? P.S. I had to rewatch the episode with Mabel and Grace, to show my partner. He loved them and their stories. Any chance of a picture of all the bunnies together 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰
Yvonne Jones we mostly only use livestock guardian dogs on PEI. Sheep are often indoors for a lot of the winter because of the weather here, so indoor handling systems are more common. A herding dog would definitely come in handy from time to time!! We just use a white bucket to lure them!
Another lovely episode! Thank you for sharing about your poppy. I agree, I cannot fathom what they all went through. My pop was also a gentle soul, even after spending four years as a prisoner of the Japanese. It took years for him to talk about it at all as some of the experiences were so horrific. We must certainly never forget their sacrifices. On another note, love your Sheldon! He reminds me of Shaun the Sheep - my kids and I love Shaun the Sheep; we watch the episodes over and over. So if anyone wants a knitted version of Sheldon, this Shaun pattern is very similar. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sauen-shaun--shaun-the-sheep
Tiny Toadstool Cottage a prisoner! Oh my goodness. And at such a time, no support for mental health to assist in dealing with the stress of these things. They kept their secrets. Thank you for writing your family’s story. ❤️❤️❤️
I love your podcasts!!! I really enjoyed your video showing us your farm. Can’t wait to go visit your shop in a couple of weeks! I’m a military wife, married for 12 years, together for 16 years. We went through a tour in Afghanistan and a lot of time appart along those years.

Thanks Diane! Glad to have you along!

Thank you so much! We LOVE making new colours!!

Thanks Kristine!

Angela Jenkins wow! It is hard to imagine. It’s very humbling. Thank you for sharing that. ❤️
I love that you ladies make patterns that are not the hot trend. You showcase other designers as well. Thank you
Susan Wagner true enough! We do try to highlight Canadian designers and we have some great ones here!! ❤️
What a very special episode, seeing your farm and remembering your Grandfather! Thank you for sharing
My Wool Mitten thank you!!
Just loved those pieces that were knit inspiring to see how some things can be turned into treasures..Keep up the good work..
Thank you so much!

sandra childs ❤️❤️❤️ Our horses are a mixed bag! There’s one TB in there and I think a Canadian sport horse? And Maybe a Percheron cross? 😀

fernie thank you! We are big story collectors in our family! It’s what we do for entertainment at all gatherings, it’s a Maritime tradition!
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful farm you have. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for your wonderful podcast. My all time favourite
Celeste DUBBELMAN great!!! We wish we could have shown more with a drone or something! ❤️

Oh did you start Fruity Knitting from the most recent episodes? Yes it was very sad.
Thank you for the lovely podcast, the farm tour and sharing your grandfather's story

I'm retired (Army and Air Force) and my husband's retired Air Force. Thank you for your understanding. Trying to choose from your yarns.....
Doralee Ziomek let us know if we can help. Retirement must feel great!
Well done . So i went on your store pg and could not find the mini skiens to buy they are nowhere
fleeceandharmony.com/products/ewe-try-it-minis
@@FleeceHarmonyPodcast TY but Am i able to pick a specific color ? of skien
Barbara C yes there is a box to type it in at check out.
@@FleeceHarmonyPodcast aww too bad I might have to wait til oct for my bday . I bought some at michaels
It's been a while but I totally need to know what the pattern is for that beautiful blue shawl you're wearing
The shawl is Water by Softsweaterknits. I knit the variation with the picot edging. It is knit in Eldon Lace - November Sky.
@@FleeceHarmonyPodcast thank you so much! Love your videos

Those men who were in the armed forces, never spoke about their time in the war. The ones who boasted, never had.
Yes they were a stoic bunch. I often wonder about the ones that were bragging too...
What have been your biggest challenges with raising your sheep?
Penny Cameron hi! Definitely finding a consistent supply of quality food!! ❤️❤️
I love your podcasts!!!
I really enjoyed your video showing us your farm. Can’t wait to go visit your shop in a couple of weeks! I’m a military wife, married for 12 years, together for 16 years. We went through a tour in Afghanistan and a lot of time appart along those years.
Valerie Favreau that must be so difficult!!! We can’t imagine! See you soon!
