    A joyful visit, Kelly! I always feel like I am sat opposite you, looking at all these beautiful skeins and jewel like minis! What a fabulous jumper you are creating! I am finishing my “Éclair” jumper and already dream of knitting my next one, a “Le pouf” either jumper or cardigan with all the minis I acquired from you along with some natural floof!
    Wishing you a blissful Sunday, sweet friend!

Sorry to hear about your stressful news but good to hear that all is well and recovery will just be a awhile to come back to normal. Loved your modeling, take in all the lovely comments and sit back and enjoy!!! Loved the tour of the shop!

    Hi Kelly. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your last few podcasts. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings about making clothes that make you feel good. I completely agree and have always hated clothes shopping. I also love all the jumpers and tank tops you have made. I have admired all of Tif’s patterns and after your recent test knit I must purchase some of her patterns. Your yarn choices are beautiful too. I’m loving getting to know you so thanks for the time you put into these lovely videos 😊 Sarah

    Your slipover turned out beautifully and your new sweater is going to be as well, you really have a way with colour, being a dyer you’d have to be😂. I loved seeing the shop I suffer from FOMO over your shop, all the yarn and the workshops and often wish I lived closer or the money was equal and shipping to Canada not atrocious it’s about double the money to buy and have sent here😢. However….after seeing all the gorgeous yarn in all its glory today it’s probably a very good thing I’m not closer, I don’t think I’d have much willpower and I’d keep buying even if I didn’t knit it😂.
    Thank you for the tour, the shop extension will be lovely and having the workshop space will be very satisfying for you and the attendees.
    I’m sorry to hear of your Dads health problem and just pray it will be a quick treatment and recovery. Once you get to be a certain age I find I just kind of wait for the other shoe to drop and health will be a problem. I try to hold a positive attitude and hope for the best. Take care be safe and no one expects you to knit new projects every time to have an update, it’s just nice to hear from you.🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

I would love to do the Lay family yarn retreat again but the issue is getting there and back. I don't think Trev wants to come and be a spare part for the weekend. Your Parec vest looks beautiful on you. I bought the pattern for the travel sweater. I am mulling over what colours to make it with. I love your cosy classic raglan, what a fantastic way to show off a mini skein set that you adore! 😁
