Thanks for sharing all the wonderful knitting you've done this year and inspiring many I'm sure. We're now going into our 3rd lockdown in EnglandUK and it's reassuring to think that the knitting continues.... it's been a great support to many of us, and watching your vlogs has been part of that. Thank you! Linda
Hi Linda, it’s awful isnt’t it.....take care of yourself and let your knitting be a balm in their crazy times :)
Hi Ann, from Kincardine, Fife, Scotland. Love to listen to you and seeing all your finished projects. Such an inspiration!! Violet xx
Hi Violet! Waving from Canada! Thank you for visiting!!! (My parents were from Glasgow and Ayrshire.....) Anne x
I so look forward to your podcasts. This time last year we were in the middle of all the bushfires in Australia, I'm in The Blue Mountains, NSW, and you sent your best wishes to us. At this time now, where I live, we are influenced by the La Nina weather system which means it's raining all the time. You can't win in Australia!! I think this year I will follow your example and keep a little diary of when I start and finish a project.
Hi Fiona! I use Ravelry to record my projects....but a written record works too of course....whatever you are comfortable with. It is great to be able to “see” what you have accomplished....also what you haven’t :) Hope your weather gets better...it’s all snow and damp here....looking for one of those bright sunny snowy days :)
You are certainly an inspiration! First time watching your knitting journey and enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you Glenda for dropping by :)
Thank you for your Podcast :) I really enjoy it! Greetings from Gdańsk i Poland :)
Thank you for visiting!!!
Happy New Year Ann alway great to see you. Love your year end review projects and look forward to seeing more in 2021.
Thank you Jeanne !
Happy New Year to you Ann
I was so glad to see you are making Marie Wallin's club 6 -- look forward to hearing how you progress....
best wishes
Ali ( Australia )
Hi Ali! Thank you for dropping by! I have to admit, I’ve sort of fallen behind on my club knit....But I’ll get back to it!!!
Your finished objects are very lovely! I have been thinking about a love note sweater. Maybe I’ll make one in 2021!
Christine, you should! Thank you for watching!
Hi Anne greetings from edinburgh
Thank you for watching Glenda! Hubby and I were in Edinburgh a few years ago....lovely city.....lots of stairs !!!!
Enjoyed seeing everything you worked on this past year. Looking forward to an interesting 2021 knit year!
Thanks Laura!
Thank you for the lovely year in review. You are so productive knitting wise which makes you a great role model for me. I have a question about your darning...what got you interested and are you partial to a particular style, book or youtube channel?
Hi Catherine! Darning seems to be everywhere....but in particular, bookhou on Instagram who is Arounna in Toronto, and Hikaru_noguchi_design also on Instagram.....then look at some hashtags and you’ll be gone for a while LOL!!!
Loved your latest podcast. But what about that cream mohair blend jacket/cardigan you made from a Mode magazine? I was going to try that one myself. I thought that would show up in your finished objects for 2020 as well.
Hi Donna! Nope, that was 2019....how time flies !
@@AnneFeatonby Well it was gorgeous! And looked lovely on you.
A happy and healthy New Year to you Anne. Your knitting is always inspiring and a great fun to watch the finished projects. You show 12 colours of a beautiful yarn: what is the companies name? I didn' t get it. Virtual hugs from Germany
Hi Sylvia! Happy New Year!!! It is Koigu yarn....I believe they were the original hand painted yarn company....it’s 100% wool, it is super wash, very tightly spun so is good for socks....good for garments too! I knit a shawl using 9 shades of it held with Kidsilk haze and it is gorgeous....the Burrow Wrap www.ravelry.com/projects/LifeLackaDaisiCal/the-burrow-wrap I also used Koigu with Kidsilk Haze in my Love Note Sweater www.ravelry.com/projects/LifeLackaDaisiCal/love-note I’m looking for a modular knit or these shades to have something to remember 2020 with (not that I’m about to forget)....and might include 2021 shades.....we will see. Thanks for dropping by!
Happy New Year Ann. Do you have plans to knit from Georgia Farrell's London book from Rowan.?
Happy New Year to you too Karol! No......nothing really grabs me.....you?
Ann, have you seen Visible Mending, the book by Arounna Khannoraj, a designer from Toronto...she is all over IG and her site is Bookhou designs?
Yes I have seen it Andrea - haven’t invested yet :) Do you have it??? I have one of her zippered bags. Everything she does it lovely :) Thanks!
Yes... my grandmother always mended and used a mushroom to darn socks and I feel it is a lost art form. Arounna also sells mending kits that would have needles to fit inside your mushroom..plus I must confess to owning several of her pouches and bags...she was at Knit City 2019, so I was able to chat with her...I also stitch and embroider and love to see it incorporated into fiber garments as you did with your Rowan poncho..Beautiful.
