I know I’m late for the drawing but I believe it is important to share our stories as a fiber lover My grandmother started teaching me how to crochet when I was small (6years) She would make all sorts of Afghans and garments for people I have recently started sharing my love of fiber with coworkers and others I run into I have met a lady who makes hats and scarfs for our homeless in this town My coworkers and I have desires to join her and make gloves hats and scarves as well We are hoping to have a hundred of each done by thanksgiving to hand out Comment from : Stacy Moore

It's so lovely and interesting to read everyone's comments on here I've been knitting for a few years now, and am on a colourwork kick at the minute, but I do love a good cable (though an not v experienced at that) and have dabbled with lace in the past I have got such happy memories of crafting with both grandmothers One was all about the knitting, and the other introduced me to cross stitch, embroidery, bobbin lace, fine crochet, spinning and I would spend hours in their company chatting about crafts and trying them out I never got the hang on spinning but this is something I'd love to pursue over the next few years brReally love your podcast, thank you - you're very calming and inspirational xx Comment from : Lyn Lloyd-Jones

I had been knitting for about six years when I discovered knitting podcasts Before that I felt like I was flying the knitting world solo Now I feel like I’m knitting with a friend, so thank you for a wonderful podcast friend 😊💕I would prefer a knitting item if I won (not likely - I tend to be unlucky in these type of things lol) Comment from : Laura Phillips

Firstly, I just need to mention that I discovered your channel 2 days ago and I am obsessed I love the way you talk about yarn, knitting and more - it's so soothing but also I love to hear how passionate you are about your projects! I suppose that my most endearing fibre story would be one that I shared with my nan Both my grandmothers were great knitters, but my maternal nan passed away when I was just 6 years old, which means that I grew up very close to my paternal nan As a child, I always asked for her to teach me how to sew and knit and she was always ever so patient with me! When I was a teenager, I asked her to knit me a cobalt blue cable knit jumper, but she told me I would have to help her do it! At first, I was so bummed, because I didn't want to sit down and knit when I could be playing video games instead, but I remember helping her knit the arms in her living room, just the two of us, whilst she told me stories of her youth I didn't knit again until only a couple of years ago, but every time I pick up the needles, I feel like I am talking to my nan again and I know she would be so happy to see me crafting things away! I was the only grandchild interested in making things, so I am glad that I was able to keep going with our family tradition of being knitters 💙brbrre giveaway, I am happy with anything! I haven't tried spinning yet, but I know someone who has an alpaca farm and I would totally try to spin their wool if I could 🙌🏼 Comment from : cam nels

My yarn story is one that has spanned a lot of my life, even though I only started knitting/crochet recently When I was younger I really wanted to learn how to do anything with yarn, as I saw my mother doing a lot of crochet I ended up learning cross-stitch with an aunt of mine during one summer, and I liked that bonding experience I remember also this old lady from my neighbourhood offering to teach me, and it was just a way to learn this traditional skill while creating these meaningful relationships with others I finally decided to try to learn on my own last year, with YouTube being a great way to pick up various skills I find that what motivates me more is gifting others with my creations, no matter how small I crochet'ed a heart for my mother on Valentine's day, for example, and she keeps it next to her bed Now that I'm living abroad it is something that makes me smile! Comment from : Nyxian Grid

I don't have one specific story, but a general theme - I've found that whenever I'm knitting in public, especially if I've gone to a new event or activity for the first time, it helps me make connections, either because people are curious and have questions about what I'm making, or because they are knitters too, and are excited to "talk shop" Knitting really does bring people together in so many different ways <3 (interested in the knitting giveaway gifty, not spinning) Comment from : Jessica Escott

My story is like many others, I'm sure Knitting has gotten me through some difficult times in my life, when my son-in-law was going through brain surgery, when my daughter was diagnosed with and undergoing ovarian cancer surgery and treatment while they were so far away from me And for the last almost two years, when I was locked in my house afraid I was going to die and that I'd never see my daughter again Now my needlework brings me joy as I learn new things and "meet " new friends via YouTube You say you appreciate us for listening to and watching you, but honestly it's you who have kept me sane and given me hope Thank you Comment from : 80sgma

I like to knit while on the train to my lectures I once had a conversation with a group of older women who used to knit a lot I had missed 3 stops before I realized I had to get off the train! Luckily I was on my way home, otherwise I would have been super late for my lecture 😂 but I learned alot on that train ride! Comment from : Josephines Roses

Not sure if I have a lovely/unique story but I just wanted to congratulate you on your three year anniversary! I just started watching your podcasts this past summer and they have been so inspiring! Your ability to craft so prolifically is incredible and I love getting to experience the beautiful landscapes of the UK through your videos! I also think we may be birthday buddies :) wishing you and Alex peace and health ❤️ Comment from : Mereina 21

It is not quite a story, but I work almost full time and I am finishing up graduate school Knitting is my escape I light a candle, make a cup of tea, put on a fantasy audiobook, and knit away the stress Absolutely love your videos and knitting style For now I am only interested in knitting things, but one day I would like to take up spinning too Comment from : Rachie Z

I found some very good friends due to a little crafting club I joined in university I can call them some of my best friends by now, we all share so many interest and also character qualities and it is always a pleasure to sit and knit, crochet, sew and craft together in general Hopefully we are able to meet again in person by this winter! While I am able to spin by the way, I am more drawn to knitting at the moment Comment from : hattiwie

I've had some special moments with fibre recently when I've been tasked with turning unloved crochetted blankets into garments I've loved observing how the blankets were made as I've unpicked parts and it's just made me feel really connected to the hands that had previously touched the items It's made me feel part of something much bigger than myself I would love to have a go with the drop spindle, I just love the results you are getting :) sending you lots of love, your videos are just a warm hug, thank you for putting so much care and energy in Comment from : amyc271

my fibre story - i've been thinking about this for a week because i took up knitting and crochet during the pandemic and haven't been able to participate in the community beyond podcasts, but i have my answer my grandfather and i have very little to say to each other i know he loves me, but he in general does not know how to talk to me the way he finds it much more natural to my many male cousins but one day on a visit i brought my first ever sock to knit on and he lit up and immediately identified (faster than my mom or my step-grandma) that i had already turned the heel, and now we have something to talk about he isn't a knitter but turns out his mother was and he remembers a lot of what he learned from her and admires it greatly she used to make all his socks! so that is my wonderful moment of connection and entry into better relationship with my grandfather, we can talk sheep and knitting now :) that's all, congrats on three years! Comment from : wool see knitting podcast (fka night sky knitting)

I recently bought a spinning wheel secondhand My aunt drove over to pick it up for me She came back with not only the wheel, but hand carders, a handmade drop spindle, and a bag of fiber Turns out the woman was selling it for her mother, who couldn't spin anymore, but she had wanted to keep sheep and shear them and everything Turns out that about 200g of the fiber in the bag was from a sheep she shore herself! All this for no extra cost, completely unexpected, and they showed my aunt their collection of cactuses while she was there 💚 I still haven't spun up the fiber, but it's going to feel really special when I do Comment from : Sarah

Seaside! So beautiful! I am glad to hear that you are not suffering as much as you might have - long may that last! brbrI learnt to knit as a child (no spinning at the moment, which is probably for the best Don't have the space for another hobby!) My grandmother was an excellent knitter and taught me as a child She used to make me and my brother beautiful Kaffe Fassett style colourwork jumpers So when I got seriously back into knitting during lockdown, my mother requested one like her mother made So we picked a colour scheme together, which brought us a lot of joy And slowly slowly I am making my way through it - and sending my grandmother updates on WhatsApp! Comment from : Serian C

I love that since I have started knitting more I have another way to connect with my mother in law Comment from : Alicia Wood

my oldest yarn story is about my dad who noticed that I was getting more and more into fiber arts and tearing up because it reminded him of his mother, she was a very creative being during her lifetime she loved to crochet, knit, embroider and do so many other arts and most of the keepsakes we have left of her are her creations after my dad told me more about her and how happy she was to create things I feel even more special when I'm working on a project myself, it's nice to be able to connect to her in that way when I've never really known her that well I wouldn't be opposed to either the give-aways, not really expecting to get anything though, it's always nice to share stories with others Comment from : Levi van Keulen

I don't necessarily have any stories when it comes to the yarn community, but knitting/crocheting has made me feel a bit closer to my grandmothers They don't knit anymore, but my knitting has brought up a lot of memories for them from when they were younger that they have shared with me now, and it's pretty cool to learn more about them in that way brbrBecause of your content, I am currently looking to get into spinning my own yarn, so I'm very excited to try that Comment from : Melissa

My most beautiful memory is knitting with my son on my lap, he's wrapping the yarn for me When we feel a little tug, we look to see his little sister playing with the yarn and obviously thinking she's helping We laughed and cuddled This is it I wanted to stay in that moment forever🥰🥰 Comment from : Miran Knits

My yarn story: For my whole childhood and much of my adulthood, I really believed that knitting was only baby clothes and baby blankets My grandmother taught me to knit and all she ever knits are beautiful baby cardigans, so that's all I ever knit Before the pandemic, I would knit the occasional preemie baby cardigan to donate to special baby units when the desire arose It was only when the hospitals stopped accepting knitted items that I realised that I didn't have anyone to knit for, which is when I discovered that I could knit clothes for myself In 2020, I realised that you can knit adult clothing, after nearly 30 years of buying knits from shops and 20 years of knitting babies clothes!! It might not be a heartwarming inspirational story, but it's mine xD (as for the giveaway, if I won I'd be very happy with either a knitting item or a spinning item as I've been afraid but eager to learn!) Comment from : Cryptey

My yarn story is about when I started knitting My sister was trying to explaining to me how to knit my first blouse but the complicated was that we were trying to do it through a video call and with the phone! Knitting became in another way to connect with my sister I would love to try spinning maybe I could teach my sister after I learn it :) Comment from : Ericca Vallejo Ochoa

First, I must express my admiration for your Yell cardigan I doubt I would ever have the courage to attempt such a pattern Next, may I suggest that perhaps you aren't totally comfortable with the colors is that they are all pretty much the same intensity I would suggest that you take away the pale pink perhaps and instead substitute an lively ochre or mustard and even also a sharp rust Those would give you a livelier color palate - more like the colors in Walin's original pattern Of course, you might not like livelier colors and will not feel this is a good suggestion But I think the overall look with just have the spark it needs to make you happy Thanks again for all your lovely podcasts Comment from : Judith Stadler

Having done a Caitlin Hunter jumper at my "size," I would definitely do a couple sizes bigger next time! Go for it! Comment from : Mary Sanche

I’ve always been a maker, but started knitting about 2 1/2 years ago I just dove in, kinda of the same way you did I’m so inspired by what you have knitted and that your story is so similar to mine I have been binge watching all your older videos I love this knitting community I’ve made friends all over the world I’ve joined in on test knits I would love to try new higher quality yarns I also have a dear friend who gifted me a hand spun yarn that she spun herself It brought me such joy! Comment from : Gabriele Yorlano

Do not rip your top back the colours really suit you You look Gorgeous Keep up the good vibes gal! Comment from : Jenny English

Oh you started the Yell cardigan!! I really want to make that one and I know I would wear it I’m trying to decide if I want to do that one first or the chestnut Comment from : Angela

I absolutely love the colors of my soldotna, but like you I don’t wear it so I’m deciding what I need to do Not sure if I need to make it longer or wear it with a cardigan or use the yarn for a different colorwork sweater So unsure Comment from : Angela

I have been at home for the last year due to several health problems which are on going I have found the online crafting community great company and am learning a lot too I enjoy spending time with you on your podcasts I am interested in the yarn part of the giveaway as knitting and crochet are now big parts of my life Thank you for the time you give Comment from : Cathie

Hi Kat, your soldotna is beautiful and really suits you please don’t rip it back!brThank you for a lovely podcast Comment from : Sue Kilgour

I started knitting in December 2019 - so glad I did, it has brought me SO much joy during lockdown! I have made several wonderful friends (that I’ve been able to safely meet in real life!) and it’s such a joy sharing our projects with one another I love seeing everyone’s talent and creativity brbr(Not an entry for the giveaway - I don’t think I’m ready for spinning! Just wanted to share how much joy this community had brought me ❤️) Comment from : Priya

A couple months ago I was visiting Melbourne and on the tram one morning with my knitting and an older lady sat down beside me and asked me what I was crocheting, I didn't feel the need to correct her and we ended up having a lovely conversation about baby blankets Little interactions like these always brighten up my day and make me enjoy bringing my knitting on public transport I have yet to try spinning but am super fascinated by it so would love an opportunity like this to give it a try Comment from : Miljana Miljevic

Love all your episodes, waffling and chats! I was hoping you can help me with your knitting wisdom On the topic of Caitlin Hunter: I would love to cast on the Ninilchik Swoncho sweater since the colourwork yoke I think is gorgeous At the same time, I know a batwing sleeve doesn't really suit me but am at a loss as to how I could modify the pattern Any tips on how to adjust the pattern/separate for the sleeves earlier while maintaining the colourwork and oversized fit of the body?? Thank you so much!! Comment from : Rand O

Thank you for another lovely episode ❤️ My parents lived and worked at a school for deaf students , but they got divorced when I was 5 years old My mum was a good knitter, but since she wasn't always there, one of the students taught me how to knit when I was 6 years oldbrMum stopped knitting for a few decades, but now she's knitting again, and I've been able to teach her some "modern" ways of knitting, like magic loop and knitting garments top-down So we're having a lot of fun together ❤️brOh yes, and I've always wanted to try spinning! ❤️ Comment from : Anja Smith

I learnt to knit at uni, 7 years ago I had a friend from Iceland who would sit in the front row of the lecture theatre, and knit away She taught a guy on our course, who taught me, more people became interested, and soon we had a little knitting circle We were all computer science students, most of the group was guys, and I thought it was so random and amazing that we were all knitting together :)brI love this community so much! Comment from : Carla

I've been knitting for just a year now, but it has felt really natural to me as my grandmother and mother have knitted for as long as I remember I have worn hand-knitted garments from them since I was a baby, so I guess I was meant to learn how to do it myself My grandmother passed away more than 10 years ago but I still feel I'm connected to her through my knitting Lately I've been looking into spinning, I would like to try that next! I just wanted to say that I love your videos and your taste in projects and yarn! Comment from : Ale Arredondo

My girlfriend and I have been very cautious about gathering over the past year plus, so I’ve been knitting little teddy bears for friends and their kids My girlfriend is a writer, so the bears have fairly elaborate stories, some of which we’ve captured in tiny zines It’s been a nice way to send some love I’ve never tried spinning, but I would like to Comment from : cmschartner

I've got two stories because I can't pick just one My nephew is only two, but he really appreciates something which is handmade for him When he says my Jenny knit it when he puts on a jumper or hat I've made him it warms my heart so much! Secondly my best knitting friend is someone I've never actually met We got chatting on instagram and now we talk about everything We're finally going to meet next week!!! Knitting is helping me through a sadly life changing illness, it has given me new friends, a wonderful community and knitting for people is a wonderful way to show them my love Thank you as well for making this wonderful podcast, which to me is about quiet joy as well as knitting It is often just what I need 😘 brbrWhile I love hearing about your spinning I am not a spinner and will not be taking it up until I have knit a considerable amount of my stash! Comment from : Jennifer Wrenn

When choosing colours for a quilt I was taught to to choose one deep dark and one with a real pop of colour to bring the others together So maybe a deep dark blue and a bright pop of yellow or red that you would only use in a small area for a spark of interest I would drop one of you mid blues and one of the mid greens That's my thoughts Comment from : Jo-Anne Falconer

My current fibre story is that I am using all of my scrap dk yarn to make a huge blanket A lot of it has been gifted from elderly friends that can't knit any more or from past makes, so it's been reminding me of some wonderful people and creative adventures! I would love to receive the knitting giveaway please Comment from : Mary

Handspun sweaters are 100 worth it, but I agree with you and I’m not sure I would have the patience to do it on a spindle either I’ve spun for one sweater (I’ve only been spinning a couple of years), and that was midwinter by Trin Annelie It took 700g (!) but it’s worsted weight so it went a bit quicker Comment from : Sarah Rothwell

Looking at your Yell cardigan, I wondered if a gold was missing and I question why you have two similar blues You will have reasons which I don't know about I would say rely on your swatches and I think in general your colour palate is great and it will always go with more than you think Taylor Owen has featured hers in several of her casts Hers is very large and still looks great The Gentle Knitter also shows her swatches and finished cardigan in her castsbrRemember it's not set in stone and you can always rip back Comment from : jenny wren

Beautiful podcast as always Katt Your handspun shawl is so stunning 😍 brThe best thing about my knitting journey is absolutely, hands down, all the amazing people I've met whether through participating in knit-a-longs, connecting through social media and podcasts, or simply by knitting in public and having interested passerbys stop to learn more For a shy, introvert, who is often socially awkward, this craft has allowed me to build meaningful connections with people and I am so very thankful for it 🤗💕 Comment from : Knitting With Cat Hair Podcast

Knitting brings me peace when my mind goes crazy, lovely to see your projects 🧶 Comment from : Julie Edwards

I've knitted those mitten liners as well as another patterned pair from Knits Abour Winter last year The liners were worn a lot with & without over mittens I love them! brI also adore that sweet felted mushroom! Look forward to hearing more about that Oh, I don't spin but your spun yarn is 💖 Comment from : Patricia Leib

I’ve been knitting for many many years now I learned how to knit from my grandmother and my mother when I was about nine years old I knitted for my own children when they were little and now I am knitting sweaters, hats, and mitts for my grand children Knitting has been a big part of my life and I still love it I would love to give spinning a try so I’d be interested in the drop spindle Thanks Comment from : Darlene Daigle

For me the most amazing thing has been the fact that doing YouTube videos about my knitting in German has meant that I suddenly feel like I've connected with another part of me I've been living in English speaking countries for so long that I just got used to ignoring the Austrian side of me Through the knitting videos I've grown in confidence with my German and also just feel more like myself It's also helped that I've got amazing friends in the knitting community and that I've met some amazing people through instagram and YouTube during the pandemic I don't know what I'd do without knitting Love that you're doing a giveaway 🥰 I've done a bit of spinning but I'd be happy for any sort of prize! Comment from : Nina Maria Knitting

I also came to knitting in the wake of illness, and will never get over the magic of what two sticks, string, & fingers can accomplish! And one of the most wonderful things about fibre crafts is just how generous crafters are with knowledge and supplies And in turn how that energy becomes part of how you respond to others as well I’ve had elders in the community pass on stash & needles, and in turn i’ve gifted finished items to friends, family, coworkers etc It’s a culture of giving i haven’t found many other places I just started spinning this week, and i’m IN LOVE, but would be happy to receive any giveaway item! 🤟🏻💜 Comment from : NICOVOGUE

Love your podcast and learn so much from youbrI was in a car accident a few years ago and couldn't knit but recently I found myself really throwing myself into patterns and wool at the thrift stores I came across a bag of Icelandic wool that was just enough for a Ranunculus brAND I MADE ITbrREALLY brI have no preference either one would tickle my fancy brThanks for being there for us Comment from : Kim Hallson

Thank you for another lovely and relaxing episode, Katt My story is simply of gratitude for the wonderful friends I made through watching/making knitting podcasts! One can never say it enough how wonderful the knitting community is! ❤️ Comment from : Magda Knits

I think you should go with the autumnal colours for your Yell sweater! Though I do love all the colours you picked and could see why you're struggling! My niece is about 15years old and whenever I'm knitting in front of her, she loves to sit and watch She says "Auntie knitting!" and loves to help by cuddling the yarn It never fails to put a smile of my face! I have acquired a drop spindle in the last year or so, but haven't tried it out yet Your most recent videos have made me want to give it a go! I think I would prefer the knitting inspired option, as I do have a spindle of my own to try and would prefer someone who doesn't have one to be able to try it out! Comment from : Jessica Doiron

After years of my mam knitting aran sweaters and cardigans for me, I finally have a knitted item for her (a shawl) Gifting it to her this Christmas and I can't wait :) I love the calm music and footage at the end of your podcasts, so relaxing :) Comment from : Hellebore Fiber

I don't have many fiber stories as I've only been knitting a year, but I have been having fun getting into dyeing yarn with my 5 year old Comment from : Candice B Evans

Lovely episode as always Kat ❤️ brbrSo Caitlin Hunter has some designs that I really like and some that just don’t do it for me The Koivua is one that I think is so beautiful while also having a very wearable shape I have one on the needles right now that’s been hibernating for about two years (😬) in Green Mountain Spinnery The yoke is nearly finished and it’s looking so beautiful Hearing you mention casting one on has me inspired to pull it back out So I sort of hope you do knit one 😊 (obv, no pressure 😉) brbrLoving the colors in your handspun! Comment from : WOOL NEEDLES HANDS

I love to spin and at a time when I couldn’t find or afford a spinning wheel, my amazing dad built an electric eel wheel from plans we found on the internet I am so grateful to him for sharing my enthusiasm for the craft, that he helped me get into spinning Have knitted for 15 years and spun for about 3 Enjoy all yarn craft From your fellow Herts Girl Comment from : Mrs MW

I love your Soldotna sweater- beautiful colors and perfect stitches Comment from : Joyce Pastore

My first introduction into the yarn world was listening to my Grannies stories of growing up on a farm in Orkney! Every year when they sheered the sheep and spun the yarn all the kids would be putting in their orders for a new jumper! They would also unravel jumpers a lot to knit bigger ones, so a lot of re-using of yarn happened because the wole process from sheep to jumper was done by hand by them She was also a very big sock knitter and she said that growing up they would always knit the heels and toes in different yarn so that when they got worn out they could just rip out those sections and re-knit them without having to knit a whole new pair! I was always so jealous of their slow lives, the fast pace of todays world can be so overwhelming! I'd love some more yarny goodness! Comment from : Moar Knits

I've been knitting for just over a year now, and you and other fiber podcasters have kept me company throughout this time It has been lovely to learn a craft when I was isolating at home alone, and such a pleasant surprise to find that so many like yourself share what they've been making to inspire me and show me that even as a beginner I can learn to make beautiful things I have been intrigued by spinning recently, but haven't tried it yet So either option I would be very happy with :) Comment from : Noor A

I'm watching this in the train and I have so many memories when I started knitting 3 years ago with two friends We were in tour together so we spend so many hours in trains and planes knitting! I really would like to try spinning :) Love the things that you make and your calming energy! Comment from : Mar Reyes Sáez

lovely podcast again :) and the beach seen at the end looks so enjoyable We finally managed to get a trip to the beach (Cornwall) a few weeks ago and swam in the seaheaven xx Comment from : Woolly Cwtches

I really do like your podcast I am sure you are a nice person aswell Comment from : Jette Dresbøll

Dear Heather, I hope you feel better soon!! ❤️ I am recovering too and luckely I can knit, crochet and listen to the podcast It brings me so much joy and keeps my thaughts away from the pain I resently got the possibility of test knitting for 2 lovely designers and so I feel connected with other people When you are not well for a long time you lose a lot of people I think I write a lot of mistakes, sorry 😊 Thank you for your lovely words and calm voice, big hug 🥰 Comment from : Kris

It's wonderful to hear how positive knitting and the community has been for you I'm a new knitter but have completely fallen into it head first! I'm currently stuck on the other side of the world from most of my family and friends which has been really tough I've found so much pleasure in knitting gifts to send back home - especially for all the new babies I haven't been able to meet yet It has really helped me feel close to them all even when I'm still so far away Comment from : Kellie G

I’ve never really had someone to knit or crochet with My mother and sisters crochet, but not as much I moved away for work and don’t really know anyone Someone from a live podcast reached out to me that lives fairly close I met her and her sister at a LYS and we keep in touch on Instagram I haven’t knit with them in person yet - hopefully soon we will be able to! Comment from : Rachael - Creative Yarnoholic

In the beginning of this year I learned how to knit I was in a very place in my life for I had practiced a hobby most of my life and I had to suddenly let go out it I missed having that passion and knitting brought all that joy back I am so thankful for knitting and happy that there is a whole community who feels the same way Comment from : Aries Moran

I have so many amazing Fiber Stories it is so hard to just pick one This year I also had the opportunity to meet some Fiber Friends in real life Two as of now and another is coming to visit next month I think what has been amazing with that experience so far is that instant comfortability I had around each of them Even though we were nervous before meeting at the moment it happened it just felt like two old friends meeting for their weekly chat It was an absolutely amazing experience I spin & Knit but if I had to chose one, I would say knitting :) Comment from : Knitting Niqabi

I love your videos enjoyed the water as much as you did thank you so much I give to be in another country with out leaving my home again thank you so much love y’all stay safe Comment from : Wanda Rutledge

Lovely episode, as always :)brJust one fibre story? Hmmthat's tricky It was just the fibre festival here in my central Canadian city which was so wonderful and fulfilling and inspiring, so that's most fresh in my mind brI went out to a local farm with one of my best friends and her 4 year old, who is my little buddy We met the sheep and the lovely farmers and saw some chickens and bunnies and things I knit my first every sweater for this kid when he was 2 (which now fits his little sister) and it felt so special to be able to share my passion for knitting and fibre arts with this little guy who I have knit so many things for and hopefully inspire him and help him connect to this land, these animals and beautiful people doing the hard work of raising sheepbrbrOh! and I bought my first spindle this weekend and talked to so many lovely folks about spinning and fibre That was so awesome I am just figuring out how to do the thing, it's uneven and wonky and I have no idea what I'm doing but it's amazing to feel the fibre running through my hands and get to know it in a whole other intimate way Sofibre or yarn, I'm happy with either! :) Comment from : Jacq Poirier

Not so much about the community at large but knitting has brought me a lot closer to my nana She's a cross stitcher and used to knit but isn't into it anymore I have an afghan she made in the 70s or 80s that she'd never bound off and I got to do that for her It feels so speak to have bound off stitches my grandmother worked before I was born Over my birthday weekend we went to my favorite yarn shop together and it was fun to see her in awe over a modern yarn shop and having her help me pick things out I love being able to share our projects with one another It's just been so special brI'd prefer spinng! Comment from : Contessa Eller

My story is about generations connected through knitting My mother is sadly no longer able to knit, so she gave me her yarn and needles My 20-year old daughter recently, for the first time ever, asked me to make her a sweater Now I am working on a sweater for her made out of yarn from my mother It will make them both so happy!!! :) Comment from : Heather Anderson

❤️ Comment from : Dolores Van den berg

Knitting has really become important to me since I had twins late last year When they are both grumpy or frustrated I know that I can always do a row or two of knitting and there is something I can learn and do just for me in the day I’d love to try spinning, and thinking about putting a drop spindle on my Christmas list Comment from : Twin Needles

So lovely episode Congrats Your knitting journey I feel very simmilar Kniting and knitting community changed my life Thank you for Your podcast and beautiful footage Comment from : Lusia Knits
