Oh man, I'm so glad he's on the mend. What a traumatic time, and I'm praying for a healthy, happy new year for you guys. I have decided to knit all of my best yarn this year and I'm doing a Rumplestilskin shawl with one of your yarns called Ruby and also crocheting a lacey shawl with one called Cersei. And omg, the blanket came out so pretty!

Your positive attitude and outlook are amazing! Your sweater looks beautiful on you. Best wishes for a really good 2025.

You are coming through a bad time but it’s getting better due to the work you are both doing Best wishes for a complete recovery

Glad to see you back. Continuing prayers for Rich and for you! And some scratches for Jamie and Thomas!

bless you all. so glad you are all on the mend.

Bless .. I am so sorry about Richie.. me and Keith used to watch you guys making drinks and jokes and hated to see him leave.. I am praying he will recover quickly.. I hope sweet Jaimee is keeping him company .. luv to you both..

Happy to hear Ritch is improving. I bet Jamie is so happy to have him home. I hope you guys have a great 2025.

I'm so sorry that you've had such an awful end of the year. Very happy to have you back and hoping continued progress for Rich.

Take care of yourself

Fist time to your channel but I’m so glad your husband is improving! So scary. Love the smashing pumpkins color ❤

You have certainly had a hard 2024, but 2025 will be better! Will you be dying more Slutty Pumpkin? Apparently it was sold out by the time I saw your podcast. Take it easy and take care, Sharon!

So glad he’s doing better

Oh my you made the right rehab choice, it would not have gone as well here in Rhinebeck , both my late husband and late mother in law did a lot of rehab in Rhinebeck

So yeah, I'm knitting a slanted scarf from a pattern I had gotten some time ago from Michaels called BIAS KNIT SCARF, easy to remember, pattern goes to the wayside until needed to end scarf, also crocheting a hat order for someone with long hair. Not a fan of GRANNY SQUARES. I have a granny square scarf I made long long ago and not long ago finally tried my hand a BRIOCHE knitting a made a scarf with just BRIOCHE in one color. That was interesting. Glad to experience that. I'm just waiting to see what I'll do next, a small test knit or something I'll choose to knit next. You take care now and again HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's always good to see your face, hear your voice, and see and hear about your knitting but I comprehend that less of you will be available for that because life itself is MORE IMPORTANT than things. I pray he will get as close to 100 as humanly possible. Your husband must realize that keeping it moving right now bit by bit is far better than giving in to the feeling of letting go and being lathargic. The human body is an amazing instrument and can come back with hard work. Many Many have done it. With stubborn will to get back as much as possible he will win. Praying for both of you. As for your increased duties, Again, you are created by God and can do all things in Christ who STRENGTHENS YOU. Philippians 4:13 Organize and stay away from a mindset that would thwart your efforts of doing increased duties. keeping you both and family in prayers. HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY KNITTING!!

Hi Sharon, It was so wonderful to hear from you! I think of Rich and you often and wondered how he was doing. Such great news he's doing so well. Boy your family has really been through a lot. I know Rich will continue to get stronger and stronger because he's home with you and his sweet fur boy. You sweet girl have a lot on your plate but I know your determination and love for your family. Glad to hear you know to look out for yourself too. Keep up the walking and crafting, best medicine to keep you going. Love you friend and continued prayers for all of you.

Sharon, I'm so sorry you and your family have had so much hardship this past season. I pray the New Year starts better for you than it has been happening in so many other tragic ways; this year has not gotten a very pleasant one, to say the least. Hopefully, you and yours will be protected from any more of these challenging times. He is so lucky to have you and your knowledge of how to work with people having the professional development and brain challenges that go along with his tragic stroke. It sounds like he is doing fantastic, g-d bless. ❤

I’m so sorry Sharon. I miss Rich dearly .. he was always such a hoot on the podcast with his puppets and jokes. He’s lucky to have a SLP wife. Sending love and hugs to you both. Let Rich know his fans are wishing him well in his recovery. ❤❤

Hi Sharon, so glad to hear that Rich is better! Rob and I have been worried about you both, so it’s great to hear the good news, and that you are able to help him so much. We send our love to you both. 💕❤️

Sending all the best wishes for Rich’s continued recovery!❤️‍🩹 Praying for you all!🙏😊

Oh my gosh, I hope 2025 is a happy and healthier year for you and your family! Keeping you guys in my prayers.

I use knitting as my therapy my husband has ms and got bad he hade to quite his job. So now I’m a caregiver to him and I work full time to keep up with the bills I’m extremely stressed out and tired I drag but I put my big girl pants on and go

Thanks Sharon for your podcast. Sorry to hear about Rich. I hope that he makes a very speedy and full recovery. 😊

My hubby has ms and it got worse so I understand where you are coming from

Hi Sharon. Your family had such a rough 2024. I'm praying for a much better year ahead - and maybe a cameo from Rich.

❤So good to see you. I have been worried. I did not want to reach out, wanted to respect your privacy. It is funny, one of the things I thought about so much was about you being able to take Jamie to the hospital to see Rich. Pet therapy is remarkable. You are doing a great job looking after everything. All the best for 2025. Joyce

I’m so sorry to hear that about Rich I completely understand my husband was having mini strokes and we didn’t know it and then the day before he retired he had a big one and then another one last New Years Eve so I totally sympathize with you I have learned it is very difficult being a care giver ❤

Sorry for the ordeal. Glad it turned out better. Take care.

I'm so sorry for yourr turmoil but more happy that Rich is improving! Stay strong and prayers to you all.

I’m so sorry to hear about all your family has gone through. I have a question please and wonder if your husband’s doctors asked this question: How recently did he receive a vaccine? Praying for your family. Happy knitting .

I’ve been thinking about you guys and there you are…so good to hear Rich is home and doing so well. My husband had a fall the end of March…he can’t walk so I was forced to keep him in a long term care center..he’s still there and I travel there everyday… thank goodness for my knitting..that has helped me endure the long hours at the care center. So happy you have him home… I would do anything to have my husband back home again. I know exactly how you feel about having to take on all the responsibilities…my husband did so much and now it’s all on me! I miss all the things we did together…just going to the store, grabbing a bite to eat together…I’m so happy for you! Tell Rich to keep working on getting stronger everyday!

So good to see you, Sharon. My goodness what an ordeal you have had to conquer. I'm so happy to hear that you're all doing well now and I bet you're the best caregiver for him. I know from experience how hard it is. It's exhausting on a whole different level. Be patient with yourself and some things can just go by the wayside. It'll still be there when you have the time and space to do it. Sending you all my love.

I am so sorry to hear that Rich suffered a stroke 😢. You both have endured so much. Praying 🙏 that he continues to get better and that you continue to be strong. Best wishes to you both. ❤😊

Oh my dear! I am right with you! My dear husband had a stroke a little over two years ago. Your story sounds step for step with mine. I am so blessed he is still here. I am also so blessed to have my knitting because I’m sure I don’t have to tell you what a lifesaver knitting can be during a time like this. God Bless and keep you both! For comfort knitting my definite go to is the Half and Half Wrap by Purl Soho! Absolute mindless knitting!

Sending love to you and yours. ❤

Well, I haven't been keeping up to date on Instagram so your news has come as quite a shock. I'm sending you both my love and prayers. You've had such a difficult time Sharon and it seems to me that you have been brave and brilliant throughout an immensely challenging time. And thank goodness the pneumonia was properly diagnosed so you got the right treatment. Challenging times ahead still for you, but you are together and that's the main thing. ❤

Wow! What a year! Rich’s progress is remarkable. God bless you and your family.♥️

Hi Sharon. I'm so pleased to see you back again on KZbin. You are one of my favourite podcasters and I have missed you. But I'm especially pleased and thankful to hear that Rich is recovering so well from his stroke. Over the autumn, after hearing about his illness, I often wondered how things were going so your update was good to hear. My, what a difficult time you have had, but thank God, you and Rich and the family have come through. May 2025 be more kind to us all - 2024 seems to have been a difficult year all round! Keep comfort knitting your lovely blanket. Socks are my comfort knit. Plain vanilla socks. I finally made it to Rhinebeck in 2024 - all the way from Northern Ireland along with my daughter. We had a wonderful time, revelled in the beautiful yarns (my daughter particularly liked seeing the animals) and loved the beautiful countryside along the Hudson river. Wishing you a blessed year. Thoughts and prayers for you all, ongoing. Claire ❤

So glad to hear Rich is home and doing better! Very happy you still have each other. It’s wonderful that you will still dye yarn and do some more videos. It’s a tough go being caretaker, so I’ll definitely be sending prayers for you both. I was delighted to see your video! I missed you! Here’s hoping 2025 brings some good things and lots of happy for us all! Love both your Anthology throws! Fun socks are my go to happy. When I can’t concentrate I love a good granny square project, or simple knitting, like your beautiful Sweater Hug.

I’m so glad Rich is doing so well and that you have your best friend back! Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Beautiful shawl❤

Woah, what an "adventure"! I'm so glad that your husband is doing better and that your life is returning to somewhat normal. For the whole video I was admiring your sweater, so I'm glad you mentioned it at the end.

Hi Sharon. I’m so glad to see you back and to hear the good news of how you and your family are recovering. My comfort projects are crocheting blankets and cowls. I also knit a little and have been inspired by your podcast for many years. Peace and blessings to you!

You are a trooper! Being sick and making sure your family had a good Christmas makes you an angel.

God is watching after all your family. Prayers and love.

Oh dear Sharon, your family has been through it. So glad Rich was In a good rehabilitation unit. Tell Rich we’re proud of how hard he is working. I will send up prayers for complete healing and that you have many more fun years together.

So happy to hear Rich in on the mend and doing better. Sending prayers your way. 🙏 So glad you're back. You have been missed ❤.

Thank you for posting. I have been sending prayers and healing light to you and Rich. I am so glad he is on the mend. My comfort knitting is socks, hats, or anything stockinette in the round. I am currently casting on 12 new projects for the 12 days of Christmas. Your yarn will be in one of my sweaters i am getting ready to cast on. xx
