    Love watching your UA-cam, your so talented. I don't have a knitting community, so love watching podcasts for inspiration while I'm knitting. Thankyou

      Yes me to . I really enjoy a podcast, coffee and my knitting. It does feel like like we are all connected, sharing the highs and lows of knitting. It's comforting to know we all face the same setbacks and helps me move forward 😁

    Yay!!! I have truly missed your knitting videos! You do lovely work and use yarns that are afforable and not a mixture of holding a mohair with another expensive yarn that makes tackling a project scary if you are not an experienced knitter. (I have learned to knit by watching you and using your tutorials!!!)

    Really lovely cardigan and great colour for you. The socks will be so comfy and nice to look at 😅. Great idea for your blanket, perfect and will keep you cosy too. I must try the Tolsa Tee, especially putting extra detail here the there. Thanks Tina, hoping your back is soon better. ❤

    Tina! I love it when you put up a new knitting video ❤...... Now, you taught me how to knit socks, and you taught me how to knit my first winter wine sweater....And you gave me my thirst for knitting. Could you show us how you start off your granny stipe blanket?...... I know there are tons of videos out there, and I have watched them..However, you just have the knack of explaining everything so clearly with your tutorials ... Is there any chance you could show us your way? ❤😊❤ xx

      I definitely wouldn't feel confident teaching crochet. I have learnt everything from @bellacoco . She is a great teacher . I learnt by doing it while watching , pausing the video to keep up, pulling back and redoing . I definitely wasn't a quick learner but with patience I got there . Good luck , it's not hard, just different to knitting 😃

    I love how your cardigan turned out and your socks and the blanket! I really like them all, I don't just say it 😊 I've made a similar blanket myself with my leftovers a couple of years ago. That time though instead of waiting to gather more leftovers to finish it, I just order similar yarn. Next time I'll do it like you did! Red is one of my favorite colours, looking forward to see your progress on your new project which I think it will really look great! Looking forward to seeing you again 🥰👕🧶

    Nice to see you Tina. Sorry your back is a bit iffy. Your cardigan is great, so easy and wearable. Your Tolsta will be great. I have that pattern and need to get busy! Love the granny square blanket - perfect for its intended purpose and will give you years of warmth and smiles as you remember the various projects. I see Foxy in the background still looking like the diva she is. Take care and see you in the next video 🥰🇨🇦

    Great to see you back Tina and I'm glad your back is a bit better. It can take a while to recover from back pain, I can empathise with you . Your Ballou cardi is really l9vely on you, I think I would make much tge same modifications as you. Glad that you have found the right recipe for your socks. The red in the merino cotton looks a gorgeous colour. I've made the Tolsta previously too and would like to make another too, it is so versatile the pattern . I might give that yarn a try. Where did you get your gorgeous butterfly bag, I love it ? Thanks Tina, take care Xx

    • @Simplyinstitches

    Such a Happy Blanket!! Love green/blue sweater! Love the “No Buttons” cardigan, I have an aversion to sewing buttons (harking back to my younger/“blouse” days… I’d sew them on sooo well, they’d never fall off, all the while getting knots in thread cuz too long… All that to say “when” I’d sew on a button, ahem)
    Never could get buttonholes right to fit a particular button… ugh!
    And really, how often would I button up a cardigan anyway?!?!
    Feel you on the “not quite right” project! I’m making the “Oolong Tank” w some gorgeous (new-to-me) fingering wt, so I’m making a swatch, yup, had to! And doing so, I can familiarize myself with the lovely lace bit in front. Using as a camisole, yarn is luscious, soft! (Big Little yarn Co, 70 organic wool & 30 linen).
    Thank you for inspiring me to adapt & make things for “Happiness” sake, love of knitting!

    Hi ... your sweater is lovely on you. I just checked your page on Ravelry and see your pink "Ballou" sweater which you posted in 2017. Wondering where I can find the specifics of your changes (in writing vs hearing your description on UA-cam) regarding your current lovely teal green Ballou. Thank you in advance!

      What a shame , I think designers worry it's going to be too small and end up with it too big. Being a summer tee a little bigger is fine but not off the shoulder 80s style 🤭😄 Have a lovely weekend gorgeous x

      I honestly couldn't say . I've never knit with mohair. Shhh don't tell anyone I'll be thrown off of UA-cam 🤣 When it was in fashion last time a friend had a mohair sweater . It was so annoying shedding everywhere and getting in my eye . I know it was probably just a bad sweater but it has put me off forever 😁
